With brass in pocket, Beck's popularity is snowballing: CD sales are up in the U.S., and they keep booking great gigs. But not all is what it really seems to be. Eddie has a message for Ryusuke, and it doesn't sound like fan mail. Ryusuke's bullet-ridden guitar and secret weapon, Lucille, has an admirer that will stop at nothing to get her. Meanwhile, Maho has a new suitor...but do all the best cowboys really have Chinese eyes? Saku and Koyuki share more than a lust for life--they are chasing the same girl. What else can happen to Beck? Is a U.S. tour in the works?

Yukio Tanaka
Yukio is a completely average 14-year-old boy, nicknamed "Koyuki." His life has been pretty dull... But everything changes when he meets Beck! No, not the famous singer, but a patchwork, Frankenstein-looking dog. Beck's owner, Ryusuke, changes Koyuki's life forever. Soon, Koyuki becomes a budding musician in a band called BECK!

Ryusuke Minami
Ryusuke has played in various underground rock bands. He's cool and edgy, and Koyuki is in awe of him--both as a persona and as a musician. He's responsible for Koyuki's newfound interest in music.

Izumi
Yukio has had a crush on Izumi since they were in elementary school. She's cute and sweet, and she gave him the nickname "Koyuki." She's into rock music, and because of her, Koyuki delves deeper into the world of music.

Beck
Ryusuke's loyal, stiched-together dog. He's the glue that stuck everyone together.

Tanabe
Koyuki's trouble-making school friend.

Harold Sakuishi is one of Japan's most talented creators. His knack for three-dimensional characters and incredibly detailed artwork (take a look at the musical intruments in Beck!) have made his books -- Gorillaman, Bakaichi, and Stopper Busujima -- quite popular.
