Cast Takuya Kimura as Shinichi Tsutsumi as Kō Shibasaki as Rina Uchiyama as Naoto Takenaka as Yasunori Danta as Hitomi Kuroki as Jun Kaname as Yoon Son-ha as Key characters Hajime Shinkai (Takuya Kimura) is the protagonist – a young, inexperienced pilot who earns notoriety among colleagues for disregarding standards and standing up to superiors. Emotional and easily provokable, he has a strong sense of justice and equally strong love of flying. Kazuki Kouda (Shinichi Tsutsumi) – a senior captain and chief of flight operations. Known for his very cold, nearly robotic demeanour, he has not tolerance for anything but perfect professional performance to the border of inhumanity. He is feared and disliked by most of the other characters for being very unpleasant and demanding. Ayumi Ogawa (Kō Shibasaki) – a stubborn, straight-talking mechanic who is as committed to her job as she is abrasive towards Shinkai. Having lost her parents in a plane crash, she decided to become a plane mechanic to make planes as safe as possible. However, she has profound fear of flying and has not had flown at the start of the series. Noriko Togashi (Kuroki Hitomi) – a chief cabin attendant, is committed to highest professional standards, but at the same time cares for her junior colleagues and compassionately coaches them. Ota Kenzaburo (Yasunori Danta) – a senior chief cabin attendant, who can be both serious about his job and the performance of his staff and cheerful and humorous when interacting with pilots. He is a big fan of Shinkai and encourages him in his development, while at the same time displaying much dislike for Kouda behind his back. Fukaura Urara (Rina Uchiyama) – a very junior flight attendant who only chose the job for its apparent glamour and ostensibly does not want to pursue this career path, but use the opportunity to find a husband quickly. She does not treat her job seriously and oftentimes behaves unprofessionally, which earns her scolding from other crew members.
