The main character is Fan Ganma Bizen. He is the captain of the legendary black vessel. Fan Ganma Bizen is lazy and clumsy -- that is him when is resting. But once Fan decides to work, he is the best man available. Fan says things that normal people can hardly understand. And he doesn't say much, he only gives lots of clues.

Although Fan Ganma Bizen is the main character, it seems Fan, Mia and Tuban are the main characters as Mia and Tuban appear in all episodes. Mia is looking for science to restore her county, Ontana.

(Don't get Fan wrong here, I believe he meant something else but at this moment, Mia's virginity is all I can guess.)
