Lucky ☆ Star's story portrays the daily lives of several girls attending a Japanese high school named Ryōō with a very loose sense of humor. The setting is mainly based on the city of Kasukabe in Saitama Prefecture.

The manga is written by Kagami Yoshimizu, and has been serialized in Comptiq magazine since Jan. of 2004. It has also had a anime version that ran for 24 episodes. As well as having a light novel, drama cd, several games, and a spin-off manga, Lucky Star: Pocket Travelers, premiering in the Jan. 08 issue of Comp Ace magazine. Pocket Travelers is supposedly going to be involving Lucky Channel in some way.

Voiced By: Ami Koshimizu (Drama CD, Video Game), Emiri Katō (Anime)Kagami Hiiragi is the older fraternal twin sister of Tsukasa Hiiragi. In school, her grades are excellent, as she studies very hard, and was elected class president in her first year. She is in a different class than Konata Izumi and Tsukasa, but she frequently comes to their class during lunch time to eat with them. Additionally, Kagami chose the humanities course in her second year so that she could be with her friends, but she was the only one separated into a different classroom; the same occurred in her third year. Kagami, occasionally referred to as "Kagamin" by Konata, is a bit egotistical, and not as good a cook as Tsukasa. Konata loves to irritate her, and their arguments act as one of the main factors of comic relief throughout the series. Kagami is usually annoyed by Konata's constant references to her otaku interests, but usually has an idea on what Konata is saying (most likely because she is a very enlightened and intelligent figure) and is a fan of the Full Metal Panic! series. Kagami's physique is average. However, she is usually concerned about her weight, counting every kilogram she gains or loses. Kagami likes to eat sweet food and she is often seen eating sweet food at night, such as chocolate Pocky sticks. Despite her concern about her weight, she has no willpower controlling her eating habit, resulting in a eat now and fret later attitude. She has long, purple hair with a ribbon tied into pig-tails, though she used to have an ahoge at the beginning of the series, and unlike Konata, has sharp eyes. Kagami is the stereotypical "tsukkomi" (the straight and intolerant type) character, however, she is prone to become shy and lonely at times, hence possessing the tsundere (the tough but shy type) characteristic, as well. Similarly to Konata, Kagami likes video games, but plays a different genre than Konata: scrolling shooters. She loves to read light novels, but is lonely, as no one around her has the same interests as her. Both Kagami and Tsukasa are left-handed.
Kagami shares the name of her creator, Kagami Yoshimizu.

Tsukasa Hiiragi (柊つかさ, Hiiragi Tsukasa?)

Height: 158 cm (5'2")

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Drama CD, Video Game), Kaori Fukuhara (Anime)Tsukasa Hiiragi is the younger fraternal twin sister of Kagami Hiiragi and lives in a six-member family household with her parents. She is in the same class as Konata Izumi. She isn't good at studying or at sports, but excels in cooking. Tsukasa often depends on Kagami for help on her homework, like Konata, but their reasons are different: Tsukasa easily forgets her assignments, while Konata is just too lazy or preoccupied with her hobbies to do them herself. Unlike some of the other characters in the series, Tsukasa has not shown any particular interests in video games and anime, but she does like the Sgt. Frog series. Tsukasa's physique is a little smaller than average. She has short, purple hair with a ribbon like a head band in it. Her eyes are droopy and she is portrayed as a stereotypical klutz. Tsukasa once received a mobile phone for her birthday, but didn't have much luck with it, as the phone was taken away by using it in class and mistakenly ruined by putting it in the laundry, along with her skirt. Once, she left instant yakisoba alone after pouring hot water in it, only to come back later discovering there was no water left to drain. Unlike most of the cast of Lucky Star, Tsukasa is a heavy sleeper, and cannot wake up at a set time, even when someone is present to do so. Both Kagami and Tsukasa are left-handed.
She can be mistaken for cosplaying as Akari Kamigishi from To Heart when she wears her autumn school uniform, which is pointed out twice in the anime. Once when Konata gave her the actual uniform used in the ToHeart anime for her birthday, and the second when several people stopped her along the street to take her picture, much to her embarrassment.

Akira Kogami is a junior high school student, who is also the captain of the Lucky Star informational ad section called "Lucky Channel" in the Comptiq magazine. Akira has short salmon pink hair and has an ahoge towards the right side of her head, and has golden yellow eyes. Her school uniform is too big on her ,as her hands are too short for its sleeves. Akira tends to be very energetic, and her chief form of greeting is "Oha-Lucky~!", and frequently ends each episode with "Bye-ni!". Ni (二, Ni?), as in the Japanese number two, and can be written as "Bye2", resulting in a shorter and cuter form of Bye-Bye. The cute persona, however, is a cover-up; in reality, whenever she is annoyed or feels that her career or popularity is threatened (usually both by her assistant, Minoru Shiraishi), Akira's bright persona is instantaneously shed to reveal a deep voiced, overbearing, violent, chain-smoking, selfish-cynic of a burnt out entertainer on the brink of becoming a has-been, though her talents are undeniable. She can be quite cruel towards Minoru, both physically and emotionally, and has been known to throw all sorts of objects (such as her overflowing ashtray) into his face, particularly whenever he mentions that a girl in the cast, such as Tsukasa Hiiragi, is cute. It is also implied that she has slept her way to the top, when she was teaching Minoru how to take a photo of her "going with a man into a hotel" before the end of that sentence was cut off. Akira's disturbing and menacing persona may be a tongue in cheek and satirical look at the insecurities of Japanese idol singers, whose popularity is constantly threatened by the "next cutest thing on the block". She is the main character of the manga Akira's Ambition, which is still being serialized in magazine Comp Ace published by Kadokawa Shoten.
