Plot:

Riki was a child when his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. What saved him was a group of four kids calling themselves the Little Busters.

Now in his second year of high school they still hang out, fight and live together, and enjoy their school life.

Main Characters:

Riki Naoe (直枝 理樹)
Voiced by: Tomoe Tamiyasu (game), Yui Horie (anime)
Riki is the protagonist of Little Busters! He is a member of the Little Busters, and of them, he is seen as the only one that is straightforward and has common sense. His parents died when he was very young, and around the same time he was diagnosed with narcolepsy.

Rin is the main heroine in the story. She is the younger sister of Kyousuke Natsume and is the only female member out of the five original members of the Little Busters. She does not communicate well and is seen as inarticulate. Due to this, she is anti-social, and is usually seen alone. When playing baseball with the others, Rin is an ace pitcher, although she used to be quite a bad pitcher — her throws would go in completely unpredictable directions — until she gets into a baseball stand-off between Sasami, where she demonstrates two "super-power" pitches, where one of them is a fastball and the other one is her own version of a changeup. Rin loves cats and at school takes care of several strays; it is not uncommon for several cats to crawl onto her.

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa, Yū Kamonomiya (young)
Kyousuke is the leader of the Little Busters, and is one year older than the other four members. He often comes up with absurd ideas, but almost always, he follows up with a reasonable explanation along with it. He suffers from a lolita complex, though he denies it.

She spent most of her childhood traveling around the world, and her home country is a small, southern nation closer to the equator; this is the reason for her hat and cloak — she finds Japan cold due to her country's climate.
