List of Mobile Suit Victory Gundam characters

This is a list of fictional characters from the Japanese science fiction anime television series Mobile Suit Victory Gundam. Victory Gundam is well known for its extremely high casualty rate on both sides in the conflict that takes place in this show.

Main characters
Üso Ewin
Voiced by: Daisuke Sakaguchi
Being 13 years old, Üso is the youngest Universal Century Gundam protagonist to date. Many fans of the Gundam series believe Ewin to be the great-grandson of another character, Char Aznable; this is due to the last name of Ewin's mother being "Miguel", being the same as Char's last lover, Nanai Miguel from Char's Counterattack. The time frame (sixty years had passed between both series) also gives the theory some weight; however, Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator of the Gundam series has denied such a theory as being true, though the production group planned to use this idea.
Üso is an illegal immigrant on Earth at Point Kasarelia, and eventually ends up joining the League Militaire in fending off the Zanscare Empire, when the soldiers ruthlessly slaughtered many innocent civilians in Woowig. He is the pilot of the Victory Gundam, and subsequently the Victory 2 Gundam. Üso is constantly left scarred by the reality of war, and the people that keep dying to protect him and their cause. Üso is good friends with Shakti Karin, the daughter of Zanscare Queen Maria Pia Armonia. According to Üso, the name of his and Shakti's hometown, Kasarelia, means "hello" or "goodbye" in a Northern Pacific language. The word eventually becomes somewhat of a rallying call for them. Üso also makes enemies with Chronicle Asher, Shakti's uncle and Queen Maria's younger brother, and later on, Katejina Loos.
Shakti Kareen
Voiced by: Yumi Kuroda
Shakti is an 11 year old illegal Earth immigrant that shares a close bond with Üso. She is a caring person that has trouble adjusting to the realities of war that constantly surround her. Her caring personality can be seen as she takes care of the orphaned baby Karlmann. Shakti tries to reason with members of Zanscare to show them the error of the ways and as a result, is constantly kidnapped. She is the daughter of Zanscare's Queen Maria and the niece of Üso's main rival, Cronicle Asher.
Katejina Loos
Voiced by: Kumiko Watanabe (Japanese); Nicole Oliver (Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 & 3) (English)
Katejina Loos (カテジナ・ルース, Katejina Rūsu) is a strong-willed seventeen-year-old girl from the fictional European city Woowig. Separated from her parents around the time of the destruction of her home town by the invading BESPA forces of the Zanscare Empire, Katejina joins the League Militaire with young Üso Ewin; however, Katejina disapproves of the League's reliance on Üso as a Gundam pilot due to the mounting toll on his young body and mind. Katejina is captured by Lt. Chronicle Asher and taken to the Zanscare Empire, where she becomes Chronicle's personal assistant. Later, she is trained as a soldier and becomes a mobile suit ace; it is during this period that her attraction to Chronicle, and hatred of Üso, begins to grow. Her personal support for Maria's matriarchal ideals, her annoyance at Üso's continual attempts to interfere with what she views as her true happiness, and her sheer admiration for Chronicle turn her into a dangerous Zanscare loyalist. She and Üso battle on several occasions, where she succeeds in killing several members of the Strike Team and Odelo Henrik in the process. However, she ultimately loses her memory while fighting Üso during the Battle of Angel Halo. After Üso defeats her in this battle, Katejina suffers severe brain damage: she loses her sight and her memories, and suffers irreversible mental damage from the fight. She is last seen wandering the streets as a beggar, homeless and forgotten. Despite his predilection for killing off several main characters during the final phases of his shows, producer Yoshiyuki Tomino allowed Katejina to live, saying "life was a heavier punishment for her."
Katejina is a playable character in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 with her mobile suit Gottrlatan.
Cronicle Asher
Voiced by: Tomoyuki Dan
Cronicle Asher is one of Zanscare's top pilots and one of the main antagonists in the series. He quickly forms a rivalry with Üso early on as Üso ejects him from his Shokew mobile suit and takes control of it. This event leaves him feeling humiliated and he is determined to recover the Shokew from Üso. Asher has a code of honor of sorts, and usually will not engage with non-combatants such as civilians and children. He disapproves of his fellow soldiers that bomb and destroy an area to draw out just one mobile suit, but will follow when a superior officer gives the exact same orders. Like most of Zanscare's remaining members, he is killed during the final battle. He is the younger brother of Queen Maria and the uncle of Shakti.
