· Harry Hare – Harry Hare used to be one of Hollywood's top 'toon celebrities. He had a top-rated TV series along with his co-stars Matt Mallard, Wacky Wolf, Chaos Coyote, Crusher the Gorilla, Purr-fume and one-time late season replacement Katty Litter. He also has several awards under his belt, a mansion in Beverly Hills and legions of adoring fans. But when his show's rating plummeted due to major cutbacks and heavy competition (comic book action shows), his studio, Megastar Studios, was forced to cancel the series in favor of a Japanese Ninja schoolboy anime, thus having Harry and his co-stars kicked, literary, out of the studio. He was evicted from his mansion and his life savings were stolen by the studio to pay for the debts he owed to them. Depressed, homeless, out of work and drowning his sorrows in sour milk (the 'toon equivalent to alcohol) Harry and his co-star and friend Matt Mallard where desperately searching for work. One day, Harry and Matt hung out in a bar when they saw an ad for a private detective agency. Harry later had a brainstorm: he would use what is left of his savings to start his own private eye/bodyguard agency to help the citizens of L.A. Matt, who at first did not agree with the idea but soon sees it as an opportunity for fast money, soon joins in. After several unfortunate mishaps at first, the hapless duo was soon joined by young anime stuntwoman Megumi Mahara, and ex-Interpol agent Roy Rustle. Thus beginning their adventures solving cases, protecting major celebrities and clash with several criminal groups and mad villains as they would grow to became the #1 private detective agency in L.A., though they still have to pay huge bills and the rent to their office, not to mention dodging anvils and bullets. Harry is selfless and noble, as well as most of the times cheerful and optimistic. He is friendly to even to worst of his enemies. He has a reputation to outwitting his off-screen adversaries and survive perilous situations with a wink and a smile. He considers his colleagues like family and treats Roy Rustle like a big brother, although he has to withstand Matt's constant complaining and whining as well as his choice in clients. Although he mostly leaves the rough field work to Roy and Megumi, Harry would get to the spotlight and tries to solve situations, even if he ends up in danger. Despite troubling times, Harry remains upbeat and hopes for a better tomorrow, even if that someday never comes. His favorite hobbies includes signing in the shower and signing autographs from loyal fans. His favorite foods are carrot cake and ice cream. Though not trained as an investigator or a bodyguard, Harry relies in his wits and knowledge for old school animation history, though he is not found of knowing Japanese anime (that is left to Megumi), to help with most cases. Like other 'toons (anthro and some humanoids) Harry is impervious to normal physical harm, tobacco, normal alcohol and weapons (i.e. when an anvil drops on him, he springs back to normal later). As with all other 'toons, he can be hurt or killed by eraser technology (in any form including powder for poisoning or bullets and ammunition). Also like all 'toons, sour milk has the same intoxication properties to his physiology as alcohol is to normal humans. Harry can "change" to his on-screen personas including Mr. Mountie, his Canadian Mounted Police uniform-clad identity, and Hurricane Hare, his "superhero" identity dressed in long johns and boxers shorts whose only "superpower" is a 'toon-like spin. He is seldom trained in driving and pursuit techniques from Roy Rustle, although he ends up crashing cars and causing, albeit fatality-free, property damage. He is somewhat trained in 'toon weapons but leads to accidental misfiring and mostly slapstick disastrous results. He also has a weakness for milk tea and cakes.

During their time in the limelight, Matt often share some of the space from Harry's mansion in Beverly Hills, especially when he invited several bikini-clad socialites to hang out with him in the mansion's whirlpool, much to disgust of Harry, who later drove out the party girls later. When Harry and his cast were fired by their studio to make room for a new "Ninja Schoolboy" Japanese import action show, Harry was evicted from his mansion, and Matt was prohibited to even enter and use the facilities. Matt later invited Harry to move at his run-down apartment, but soon after Matt failed to pay the bills, they both were kicked out of there as well. Searching for jobs and homes, Matt and Harry were drunk at a local bar (sour milk is the "alcoholic breakage to 'toons) when Harry saw an ad for a local private detective agency and had a brainstorm: he would start his own agency to help the people of Los Angeles and solve their problems. Matt at first dismiss the idea, but later sees this as an opportunity to use their former fame to attract high-paying celebrities and wealthy clients to get back to the easy lifestyle he once enjoyed. So the two agreed at started their own agency in an abandoned warehouse in East L.A. Thus soon began the zany misadventures of Matt and Harry, with Matt doing publicity for the agency and in charge of choosing his list of clients. Matt is money-driven, albeit somewhat greedy with it comes to finances, and loves the easy lifestyle. Unlike Harry's noble and heroic and upbeat personality, Matt is hot-tempered, selfish, and rather go on to parties with swimsuit models rather than let Harry choose his own list of clients. Matt is more of a behind the scenes man than a field agent, although he seldom tags with Roy Rustle in some occasions where they end up in danger and Harry and Megumi Mahara ends up rescuing them. As opposed to Harry's original vision of using the agency to help the city's needy and helpless, Matt is picky in choosing more wealthy clients and celebrities ('toon and human), which leads to both of them constantly arguing with each other. Despite the animosities between them, Matt is sometimes force to rescue Harry from various perilous situations, although losing his friend will mean the end of his fast track to wealth (?) His favorite hobbies include spending countless hours counting money, gambling, and hanging out with scantily clad women in pool parties and saunas. His favorite foods are Caesar salad and caviar. Least favorite food is normal duck (he does not fashioned himself to resort to "cannibalism" on his own kind). Like other 'toons (anthro and some humanoids) Harry is impervious to normal physical harm, tobacco, normal alcohol and weapons (i.e. when an anvil drops on him, he springs back to normal later). As with all other 'toons, he can be hurt or killed by eraser technology (in any form including powder for poisoning or bullets and ammunition). Also like all 'toons, sour milk has the same intoxication properties to his physiology as alcohol is to normal humans.

Cactus blames both Harry Hare's stealing his spotlight and the rising popularity of anime for his downfall and soon planned for revenge. When 'toon mastermind Ratfink Rolligan hired the angry duo as his personal henchman, Cactus seizes the opportunity to get back at Harry and began stalking anime celebrities and kidnaps them for ransom money. The only person standing in his way is of course Harry and his new allies in his detective/bodyguard agency. Harry and Cactus, once co-stars, are now bitter adversaries in this dangerous game of cat and mouse, or in this case rabbit and coyote. Cactus is driven by his inflated ego and has a rotten temper. He has an overwhelming fit of anger against Harry to getting in the way of his dreams of hugging the spotlight for himself, vowing for payback against the 'toon star-turned-private detective/bodyguard. He also blames the immense popularity of Japanese anime for driving his kind out of business and is jealous at some of the celebrities for their big eyes and overrated sex appeal, since Cactus himself lives by the family-friendly status quo and thinks that sex has no place in the animation business. Being outwitted on and off-screen by Harry on several occasions, Cactus vows to somehow find a way to defeat him at any cost.

Unemployed with Chaos Coyote, Crusher searched for a job which suits his gentlemen-like manners, but was rejected due to his bad personal hygiene, making Crusher more mad at humans and their blatant mistreatment, or so he thinks in his own mind. It was not until 'toon criminal mastermind Ratfink Rolligan hired both Crusher and Chaos as his personal henchman. Vowing revenge against the humans who treated him unfairly, Crusher accepted. And now he and his partner Chaos are in charge of Rolligan's vast criminal operations doing his dirty assignments. Once Harry's trusted co-star, Crusher is now one of the reluctant detective's greatest adversaries. Crusher is refined and gentleman-like though he will resort to primitive brute force when provoked. He enjoyed beating up Harry and his partner Matt Mallard and treating them like toys, but is dumbfounded the minute Harry outwits him in the last minute. Crusher has a notorious reputation for having the worst personal hygiene and bad etiquette like picking his nose in public and smells his stinking armpits. His favorite hobbies include squashing Harry and Matt like pancakes and sipping earl-grey tea. His favorite foods (besides bananas) are crackers, fig Newtons and crumpets. Crusher has superhuman strength and ape-like agility despite his slow physicality: he can bend steel bars with his bare hands and lift weights up to 100 tons. He is an expert in using primitive gorilla-style brute tactics and a trained torturer and extortionist. Like other 'toons (anthro and some humanoids) Crusher is impervious to normal physical harm, tobacco, normal alcohol and weapons (i.e. when an anvil drops on him, he springs back to normal later). As with all other 'toons, he can be hurt or killed by eraser technology (in any form including powder for poisoning or bullets and ammunition).

She would have gotten the upper hand over the reluctant rabbit if it were not for the quick thinking of his comrades, save for the gullible Matt Mallard.

After a series of misunderstandings and a fight with the local monster attacking her neighborhood, Megumi realizes that it was no joke, and the two reluctantly became partners as she invited him to be her pet dog and adviser. Now Amadeus is Megumi's guardian and confidant. And he helps Megumi with her new job as secretary and field agent for Harry Hare's private eye/bodyguard agency, and as her newfound duty as the beautiful guardian of love and justice: Pretty Agent Cuite Love. Amadeus is a little bashful and sensitive, though being faithful and loyal, he has a bigger responsibility to help Megumi grow as a person and a superhero. Though always friendly to most of Megumi's co-workers, Matt Mallard always shouts at him and blames him for messing around the office. Amadeus always tries his best to help him his friends whenever he can and hopes to gain in return respect as a valuable member of the crew. His favorite hobbies is watching TV. His favorite Earth food is sausage bits. Despite being alien and has the ability to talk, Amadeus is otherwise has the characteristics of a normal human but with human-like thinking and decision making. He has the magical ability to generate special gadgets and weaponry, but only for use to Megumi for her missions as Cutie Love, although she convinced him to generate some equipment for her to use for helping her friends in the cases as well. He is extensively trained in sniffing out explosives and other illegal contraband, although he has psychedelic hallucinations when inadvertently sniffing narcotics like cocaine, which Megumi later forbids him to do. He is trained in police dog-style defense combat, but due to his size and somewhat lack of courage, he could not handle himself in a fight. He ends most of his sentences with the phrase "Woof, woof!"
