N. Italy (イタリア Italia ?)
Italy, the primary protagonist and the title character, is a bright and energetic young man. In the series, he is depicted at various points as the infant grandson of the Roman Empire, recognized as the weakest character in the series, and as a carefree and cowardly soldier who often depends on Germany to resolve issues. His artistry and love of pasta and pizza are references to Italian culture. Italy represents the northern half of the country of Italy, whilst his older brother represents the southern half. Hence, their full character names are Italy .Veneziano and Italy Romano.^ And even with Germany's unification, Prussia will almost definitely still be around, just like Romano and Veneziano both still exist despite Italy uniting.
  • Axis Powers Hetalia - Television Tropes & Idioms 2 February 2010 14:55 UTC tvtropes.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ Obviously, Veneziano/North Italy is named after Venice, a city in northern Italy, to distinguish him from his brother, Romano/South Italy, who's named after Rome, though it's actually in the centre.

 .Another aspect of his character is his relative inexperience with relationships, leading him to be very by-the-book as a result of the belief that things will go wrong if he doesn't follow instructions to the letter.^ Yes, the main characters of Hetalia are the Axis Powers, but Himaruya doesn't bring up the 'controversial' side of the war, (which is very tactful of him) while this poll does.

 .Despite this, as the series progresses, he forms a close friendship with the foil character of Italy, whom he describes as his only friend.^ The only characters I have no clue about are Chibitalia and HRE. They're two of my favorites so I really hope they are voiced close to the original.

 ^ In reality, Poland and Hungary have had a close relationship since the Middle Ages; this friendship is not only described by a bilingual proverb (" Pole, Hungarian, two good friends "), it also had its own holiday celebrated in both countries.

Generally quiet, he is often depicted with the attitude of a businesslike old man. In the anime series, his seiyū is Hiroki Takahashi.

America (アメリカ Amerika ?)
America is an energetic and headstrong character. In the series, he is raised by England and later fights for his independence. The self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces, his catchphrase is "I'm the hero!" .His ideas for solving international problems are often absurd, but he is usually oblivious to the opinions of others.^ It doesn't take away from my opinion that Hetalia is a great way to laugh at international politics and the often-times frustration it causes.

France (フランス Furansu ?)
France is a romantic, carefree character. In the series, he is shown to have a long-held rivalry with England. However, he frequently makes sexual passes at many characters, including England. France explains away his long history of military defeats by attributing them to a joke from God. He regards himself as the eldest brother among the European nations and is referred to as such by some of them, though he calls Spain his elder brother in turn. He is often depicted with a rose, either holding it in his hand or using it to cover his genitals when walking around naked. In the anime series, his seiyū is Masaya Onosaka.
China (中国 Chūgoku ?)
China is one of the oldest nations, being depicted as immortal as well as being several thousand years old, and is regarded as the eldest brother among the East Asian nations. Because of the .Sino-Soviet Split, he is disturbed and distrustful of Russia.^ Russia often dresses up in a panda suit to stalk China, which makes him very wary and distrustful, especially after the Sino-Soviet Split.
