Italy (Veneziano)
イタリア・ヴェネチアーノ (Itaria Venechiāno)
Human name: Feliciano Vargas
Nation: Italy 🇮🇹
Emoji: (=ヮ=)೨
Italy is a cheerful, energetic man, who went from being the kin of Ancient Rome, to an irresponsible crybaby. He loves pasta, pizza, gelato, and cheese. Although he relies on Germany a lot, Italy doesn't really listen to what he says and instead daydreams or wanders off. His hobbies include cooking, siestas, painting, singing and also flirts with any cute girl he sees.

Italy (Romano)
イタリア・ロマーノ (Itaria Romāno)
Human name: Vargas
Nation: Italy 🇮🇹
Emoji: (╬..>////<..)ノ
Romano is friendly and kind to women but is strict and less social towards men. In particular, he is openly rude to both Germany and France. Despite appearing to be tougher than his younger brother, he is just as cowardly and ineffectual, if not more. Though he is not very skilled with his hands, it is said that he is a good pickpocket. He also has a habit of speaking in profanity, particularly the words "bastard" and "damnit".

Japan
日本 (Nihon, Nippon)
Human name: Kiku Honda
Nation: Japan 🇯🇵
Emoji: (ㅍ_ㅍ) o自
A shy, quiet, and hard-working man, Japan does not know very much about the outside world, partially due to his self-isolation, and needs time to adjust to other people. He is very curious and interested in learning things from other nations.

China
中国 (Chūgoku)
Human name: Yao Wang
Nation: China 🇨🇳
Emoji: ｡◕`ヮ´◕｡
One of the apparent oldest nations, he happens to be extremely superstitious, but not at all religious. He tries to act as an older brother figure to some of the other Asian nations but often fails to be treated as one; possibly because those nations either know they are not related, do not see him as a brother figure, or don't acknowledge it.

America
アメリカ (Amerika)
Human name: Alfred F. Jones
Nation: United States of America 🇺🇸
Emoji: (☞≧ヮ≦)☞
America is a cheerful, energetic, yet somewhat conceited young man who is obsessed with heroes, justice, and freedom. He has the habit of sticking his nose into everyone else's business, which causes him to have difficulty making friends. He loves hamburgers and junk food, to the point of an obsession, and can even eat strange and inedible things due to inheriting England's sense of taste (or lack thereof).

Russia
ロシア (Roshia)
Human name: Ivan Braginsky
Nation: Russia 🇷🇺
Emoji: (^し^)
A large young man who is seemingly big-hearted and innocent but is in reality childishly cruel often coming off as villainous to those who fear him. He comes off as intimidating without even saying a word, his gentle smile and disposition only intensifying the aura of dread which seems to constantly hang over him.

England
イギリス (Igirisu)
Human name: Arthur Kirkland
Nation: United Kingdom (England) 🇬🇧
Emoji: o̿ ̭ o̿
England is a fanciful, blunt, obstinate former pirate who used to torment Spain. In modern times he claims to be a gentleman; however, he is cynical, sharp-tongued, prone to rough speech, and yearns for the golden years. He often uses British vocabulary, such as wanker, Yank (Yankee), bloody, twit, and git. He is noted for being horrible at cooking which has caused America, his former charge, to have "bad" taste in food.

France
フランス (Furansu)
Human name: Francis Bonnefoy
Nation: France 🇫🇷
Emoji: ლ(= з = )ლ ~♥
He has an intense rivalry with England and loves to argue with him over trivial topics (one example is arguing over "who is more perverted"). His hobbies are manipulation activities, agriculture, fashion design, sketching, singing, and telephones, as well as wandering around the art museums and fashion boutiques of Paris. He likes places that are a little odd or chic.
