NG Knight Ramune & 40

• Baba Lamune – (Voiced by Takeshi Kusao) He is a 10-year-old boy who loves to play video-games. Most of the time his games get the best of his grades. He has a good heart in general but isn't too considerate of other peoples feelings. Lamune claims to not being a pervert in several episodes, though during his time at hot-springs he can't help but stare with his eyes wide open. He usually finds himself saying things like "ORE WA MOREZUNI HAZUKASHI!!" (I am very embarrassed right now!!) or "Ore wa morezuni odorote ii ru" (I am very surprised right now). He says the action and "Right now" follows after. He has a son in VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fire named Lamunade who follows the same fate as him. His love interest is Milk.
• Princess Milk – (Voiced by Chisa Yokoyama) A "cute" girl, that comes from the Arara Kingdom, she has elvish ears. She is forceful, and has a one track mind. She's friendly to people, but quite arrogant at times (mostly around Cocoa) and often hungry. She's the one who takes Lamune to their world. She is one of the 3 Maidens of Arara. Milk becomes Lamune's wife in VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fire. She birth at December 27, 1975, while her blood type is O.
• Cocoa – (Voiced by Sakiko Tamagawa) Milk's older sister, who is rather dotty and not too confident, she is quite adept in STEM and speaks very slowly. She is smart and is the one to get them around the world. In early episodes, Lamune goes wide-eyed whenever she takes off her glasses. She is also one of the 3 Maidens.
• Tama-Q – (Voiced by Chie Koujiro) A hand sized advisor robot that can summon the guardian knights if Lamune drop coins into the slot on his head. "Tama-kyuu" is the Japanese word for cue-ball.
• Da Cider – (Voiced by Kazuki Yao) Minion of Don Harumage. He actually bears more of a comic relief role during the series. Near the middle of the series, Da Cider realized he was brainwashed by Don Harumage and becomes one of the good guys as destined, but still maintains sort of a villainous image. Da Cider is incredibly stubborn and arrogant; he'll always be the one getting in fights with Lamune.
• Leska (Café au Lait) – (Voiced by Naoko Matsui) Da Cider's lover and partner, she seems to almost never pay attention to anything, only interested in being fashionable, would probably be considered as the sex symbol of the show. She shows affection towards Da Cider when she kisses him near the last episode. She is actually one of the 3 Maidens, and the older sister of Cocoa and Milk brainwashed by Don Harumage.
• Heavy Meta-Ko – (Voiced by TARAKO) A little yellow snake adviser robot that lives in Da Cider's shoulder pads and in love with Da Cider. He can summon the guardian knight, Queen Cideron, if Da Cider plays his snake-charming flute.

The story revolves around a boy named Lamune, who loves to play video games. After an embarrassing day of school, Lamune returns home, but on his way he sees what looks like a match girl having trouble explaining that she isn't selling matches, she's selling a video game. So he buys one and easily convinces the other people to buy one as well.

The girl mysteriously disappears after Lamune asks what kind of game it is, as the game was simply entitled "King Squasher". Upon returning home he immediately turned on the TV to play it, staying up until midnight until he finally beats the game.

The girl that sold him the game came out of the TV and announced her name was Milk, and that Lamune is the blood relative of the hero Lamuness, and he is destined to save the Hara-Hara World from the evil Don Harumage. And without question Lamune is dragged into their world where he then acquires Tama-Q, an advisor robot that can turn him into Lamuness, so he can use the guardian knight, King Squasher. With this he is now ready to fight Don Harumage in order to save the world.
