Natsumi is Akito's older sister. In the first few episodes she is very mean to her younger brother and blames him for the death of their mother. Later a movie is released with a story quite similar to the Hayama household which is a wake-up call for Natsumi. Later she becomes much nicer to Akito and they start acting like a family again. 

Sana Kurata has a charmed life. Not only is her mother is a famous, award-winning writer, but she's the star of the hit TV comedy "Child's Toy" while still in the fifth grade. But Sana's biggest concern is Akito Hayama, a pint-sized hellion who's organized the boys in their grade-school class into a mass of unending noise and violence. With the help of Rei, her manager, chauffeur and "pimp," Sana is determined to win back control of the classroom from her new arch-enemy. But as her crusade continues, Sana moves further into Akito's life, and finds that he might not be entirely bad...or entirely safe.

An American voice actor, voice director, and script writer for Funimation, New Generation Pictures, and Bang Zoom! Entertainment. She's been working in the anime industry since 2004. She grew up in the San Diego area, California, and has been married to Tony Patterson since 2009. Outside of voice acting, Caitlin has worked as an ESL teacher in Spain.

Sana Kurata, a child actress, faces many problems in her classroom, including a major one - her bullying classmate, Akito Hayama. Sana's outgoing and friendly nature leads her to work towards correcting all of the problems around her. Her 'meddling' irritates Hayama but at the same time captivates him, just as Hayama's gloomy nature irritates Sana and compels her to change him. As these two opposites attract each other, they face many hardships which bring them closer to a mutual understanding.

The Kodomo no Omocha OVA is a thirty-minute animation video that was made before the TV series. It covers the first volume of the manga, so it's equivalent to TV episodes 1-6. It relates Sana's troubles with Hayama at school as a result of the "oyakodon baka" situation and culminates when Hayama's dad and sister realize their mistakes thanks to Sana's efforts.
