Ataru Moroboshi
Ataru Moroboshi (Japanese: 諸星 あたる, Hepburn: Moroboshi Ataru) is a fictional character and the main protagonist of Rumiko Takahashi's manga and anime series Urusei Yatsura.
Ataru is a 17-year-old student at Tomobiki High School, Class 2–4. Born during a major earthquake in April (the fourth month, an unlucky number in East Asian culture) on Friday the 13th (the latter an unlucky number in Western cultures), and on Butsumetsu (the unluckiest day of the Buddhist calendar, said to be the day when Buddha died), he is extremely unlucky and draws to himself a near-unending number of unfortunate events, evil spirits, aliens, and other supernatural phenomena, often affecting those around him. Due to his incredible misfortune, he is considered the bane of Tomobiki by its residents and even his own parents.
An extremely lecherous and tenacious womanizer, Ataru spends most of the manga hopelessly chasing the various women who cross his path in an endeavour to achieve his dream of becoming the master of a harem of exotic and beautiful women, often competing with love rivals such as Shutaro Mendou, though Ataru's advances are almost always rejected.
At the start of the manga, Ataru learns from an alien invader that he has been randomly selected by a computer to represent humanity in a game of tag with the Oni-themed bikini-clad alien princess Lum to decide the fate of the Earth, needing to grab one of her horns to win. Though he is unable to catch Lum due to her power to fly (only managing to steal her bikini top), he finds newfound motivation after Shinobu Miyake, his childhood friend and classmate in classes 2–4, promises to marry him if he wins. On the final day of the contest, he manages to catch Lum by luring her with her stolen bikini top. In his triumph, he declares his desire to marry Shinobu—Lum mistakenly interprets this as a marriage proposal to herself and she immediately accepts, much to Ataru's chagrin.
For the rest of the series, Ataru continues to pursue the love of women, both human and extraterrestrial, much to the strain of his relationship with Lum, who, ironically, seems to love Ataru unconditionally. When confronted, he denies that he has any sort of relationship with Lum, turning down her advances and even pursuing other women in front of her, though he does care for Lum and slowly warms up to her over the course of the manga.
Ataru is a 17-year-old student at Tomobiki High School, Class 2–4. He is very lecherous and irreverent, and often tries to escape from his classwork due to laziness. Whenever he sees or hears a pretty girl, he immediately asks for her address and telephone number, but never succeeds. He chases after and tries to grope every woman, except his "wife" Lum, no matter what the situation. However, it is revealed on several occasions that she is the only one he actually loves which he vehemently denies at any opportunity. Despite this, he typically treats her like a nuisance and constantly disobeys her. Perhaps as a form of irony, he is rather prudish about other matters, becoming hypocritically outraged at the idea of his mom having an affair with Rei. Despite his behaviour towards women, he is remarkably chivalrous at other times claiming that if he hurt so much as one woman, he couldn't call himself a man, something which the girls in his class all acknowledge.
Despite how stupid he seems, Ataru often displays remarkable intelligence, particularly when escaping from Lum. At times he appears to be superhuman, with the durability of a cockroach and the rejuvenation of a lizard, possessing remarkable tenacity for a boy of his age and physique when trying to achieve something. As a result, he never gives up on his girl hunting, no matter how many times he fails or how badly Lum shocks him. Ataru is also very fast, and can often be seen wearing a track uniform. This blinding speed comes in handy when escaping from Lum.
Ataru has occasionally let his good side shine through, most notably when he took care of the class caterpillar everyone else hated it, and when he went on a date with the ghost of a sick girl who had admired him from afar. But because of his reputation as a lecherous idiot, most of the cast is surprised whenever he does such a thing, believing that something is wrong with him. Actions like these, however, reveal his true personality, which may be the reason Lum fell in love with him despite his many flaws.
