North Italy (Veneziano)
Main article: Feliciano Vargas
 * Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa, Aki Kanada (Chibitalia)

The title character of the series. He is a energetic yet clumsy young man, who also happens to be rather cowardly and obsessed with pasta. He is the grandson of Ancient Rome, who was once the strongest nation in the world.

Germany
Main article: Ludwig
 * Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto

A strict and rule-abiding soldier, Germany was the one to discover Italy hiding in the crate of oranges (tomatoes in the anime). Despite their differences, he has become rather close to the carefree Italy.

The third and final member of the Axis Powers, recruited by Germany. He is mysterious and quiet, yet hard-working.
