A famous magician of Berry Big Circus and defendant of JFA case 3. Personality: Max is way into his magician persona. He is flamboyant,
dismissive of anything not directly related to him, and always eager to
show off his magic tricks. Most of the circus can't stand him for his ego.
Underneath, however, he's very emotional, and prone to panicking and
losing his temper. |

Moe is the circus' only clown, and has been with it as long as Russel. He
is a witness in JFA case 3. Personality: Moe is pretty much what you would expect from a clown. He has an overwhelming sense of humor and is constantly cracking jokes and making ridiculous puns. He has a great love for the circus and all its members. Underneath, however, Moe is not nearly as sheltered or naive as his comrades. He seems to have a better idea of what's really going on than the other circus members. Misc Facts: The carrot seems to be a theme of his. Friends and Family: Moe mentions having a daughter named Larina (who lives with her mother - possibly divorced?). I don't quite remember if that was mentioned in the Japanese version so I'll have to replay. Name Origin: English: His name is a reference to the Three Stooges (Larry, Moe, and Curly). Japanese: There's apparently a famous comedy duo known as Tommy and Matsu. French: Frisé simply means "curled". A "rizette" is a little smile. Background: Moe has been with the circus most of his life, and was a witness in the accident six months prior to JFA. |

One of the series' stranger characters, and a witness in JFA case 3. Personality: Ben is always nervous, soft spoken, and hesitant to voice his opinions. He's almost entirely useless without his ventriloquist dummy, Trilo. Trilo, on the other hand, is loud, obnoxious, and often hits Ben. Misc Facts: Trilo is in love with Regina and intends to marry her. Yes, even though he's a puppet. Trilo is also a tenor. Friends and Family: The circus is Ben and Trilo's family. Name Origin: English: Ben and Trilo was taken off of the Japanese names, which were taken from "ventriloquist". Japanese: Ben and Rilo comes from the word ventriloquism. French: Michael's name is a simple pun ("Mais à quelle heure t'arrives?" means "When will you arrive ?"). Yvan Triloque comes from the French word for ventroliquist. He also goes by the nickname Mike. Background: Not much is known about Ben and Trilo's history, other than they were present at the accident six months ago. |

A former trapeze artist now in a wheelchair, and a witness in JFA case 3. Personality: Despite his handicap Acro is kind, polite, and quietly optimistic about his own recovery. He also has a great love for the circus, and Mr. Berry, who he looks up to like a father. He has a fondness for animals. Misc Facts: Acro has a monkey named Money (Rusa in the Japanese, which is the word for monkey spelled backwards), who likes to steal shiny or glittery things. Friends and Family: Acro has a young brother named Bat. The two of them think of Mr. Berry as their father. Name Origin: "Acro" comes from the first part of "acrobat" and is the same in both versions. English: "Dingling" is probably a combination of "Ringling Bros" and "Dangling." Japanese: Kinoshita is the name of a real Japanese circus. French: His surname sounds similar to cloche, French for "bell," which may be a reference to "dingling." Background: Acro and his brother were abandoned by their parents at a young age, and forced to fend for themselves. They were taken in and taught by Russel Berry, ringleader of the Berry Big Circus. Both boys looked up to him like a father, and trained hard to become skilled acrobats. Spoiler: 2-3 |
