“ | This guy plays synthesizer and is the group's founder. He's out to restore some indie dignity to Inkopolis's music scene that's lately been taken over by giant pop stars.

Mizo is the male Inkling on guitar and vocals, and he is a fan of vintage rock sounds, as well as jazz and soul music. He considers himself a rival to the Squid Squad, particularly Ichiya, though he fails to escape their influence. He is responsible for the band's composition alongside Ryley. He is shrewd, cynical, and often makes cutting remarks, and his personal creed is to either exceed or betray the expectations of others.

She is inspired by punk rock, particularly the Squid Squad, and shares a role composing the band's music with Mizo, often disagreeing with him, though they often complement each others' styles once they come together.
Neil

The guy on bass has a trademark string-slapping style, while the drummer uses her multiple limbs to keep a driving, super-stable backbeat. The friendly rivalry these two share makes the band sizzle with thrilling rhythm. | ” |
Neil is the band's bassist, and he is a cutthroat eel. He is a self-paced, "big brother" personality for the rest of the band, and builds a thrilling rhythm with Candi.

Candi
Candi is the band's drummer and a candy crab.
