Lulukoko Background Characters (Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns)
About
These characters are commonly referred to as "faceless characters", as they exist but have no character portraits when spoken to. The "faceless" have distinct models which are shared between each of them. However, each of them have unique dialogue and even stories which connect them to other "faceless" and main characters.
The list below is all of Lulukoko's background characters.
Huemac
Huemac is a boatman who transports people to and from different islands for a living. His lines are references to the Amazon jungle and places within it.
In the Japanese version, Huemac is referred to as Amazo (アマゾ).
Lines
- Boats are fascinating, don't you think?
- Someday you should visit my hometown!
- *yawn* Maybe I should rest for a bit.
- I spend so much of my time on a boat that it kind of seems weird to be on land.
- I'm just taking a little break. I should probably take it easy for a while.
- I'm a boatman. I help transport people between islands and the mainland. It's an important job.
- The best way to get to my hometown is by boat. It's a big place, full of lush plants. I think you'd like it.
- My father spent a long time building a man-made lake next to our house. It's pretty amazing when you think about it!
- It rains a lot in my hometown. When it's really pouring, the boats can't go out, and I can't do my job.
Andes
Andes visits Lulukoko during each week for shopping. She LOVES potatoes. Her lines (and name) are a reference to the Andes mountains and surrounding areas.
In the Japanese version, Andes is spelled アンデス.
Lines
- Potato, potato, potato! I love potatoes!
- What's your favorite potato dish?
- I could really go for potato salad right now.
- Potatoes are the greatest! You can boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew...! Though when I ate one raw, I got sick...
The line above is an added Lord of the Rings reference.
- Why, oh, why, does this shop not offer potatoes? Every time I come here, I preach the good word of the potato and ask them to cook some for me, but to no avail...
- The food here is delicious! But...why don't they serve anything made with potatoes? With cooking skills like this, they could make the greatest potato dish ever...! I have no choice! I'm gonna try suggesting that they make potato dishes one more time!
- My dream is to eat every kind of potato dish the world has to offer! When I think about how many potato dishes there must be that I've still never tasted... Oops. I'm drooling.
- Huh? What would I do if there were no more potatoes...? What kind of crazy talk is that? Even if civilization was wiped from the world, potatoes will last forever!
- Did you know that Machu and I are neighbors? Well, the mountains we live on are next to each other, anyway. We're still more than a day apart!
Angie
Angie is from a family of treasure hunters. Like her relatives before her, she came to Lulukoko seeking adventure and is particularly excited about the ruins in town. Her name is a reference to Lara Croft from the 2001 Tomb Raider movie, portrayed by Angelina Jolie.
In the Japanese version, Angie is spelled アンジー.
Lines
- Today's the day I'll find hidden treasure!
- I am so close to solving this mystery.
- Mystery! Treasure! Aren't you excited?!
- If you need information, the best sources are inns and places to eat. That seems to be true everywhere in the world.
- I don't stay in this town often. I own a villa nearby, so I only stay here when it's too late to go home.
- That's right, I'm a treasure hunter. Raiding tombs and finding lost treasures is my specialty.
- Exploring ruins takes a lot of stamina. That's why training and exercise are extremely important.
- I come from a long line of treasure hunters, but my father might be the greatest of all. He's my hero, really.
- We're not nobles or anything, but my family owns quite a large mansion. It has a garden, a pool, and even butlers.
Mazatl
Mazatl is a man with more money than he needs. He recently received a revelation from the Spirits, telling him to construct a floating island. His lines and name refer to Mazatlán, Mexico. Mazatlán is a region that was inhabited by the Aztecs, and the people used floating islands to cultivate crops.[1]
In the Japanese version, Mazatl is referred to as Azteca (アステカ).
Lines
- Could an island ever float in the air? Hmmm...
- A floating island... Got any ideas?
- If I got it floating, how would I steer...?
- I can buy almost anything, but I still can't think of a way to create a man-made floating island.
- Sure, I'm rich, but I'd never buy up all the supplies and hoard them for myself. Who would do such a thing?
- When I'm done here, I'll be off to buy some cacao. It's delicious.
- In my dreams, I received a message. "Build an island that floats," a voice said. But...how do you build an island??
- There's currently no way to make an island float. As a test, I tried floating in the ocean myself, but...I'm like a rock in the water. Instead of floating in the ocean, I nearly floated into the heavens, ha ha!
- I'm constantly thinking about this task given to me by the spirits, but I'm getting nowhere. Maybe it's simply a lesson to teach me that there are things that even money can't buy.

- It's no surprise the cafe is so popular!
- Siluka sure is cute, isn't she?
- Which twin is prettier? I kinda prefer Iluka.
- I'm gonna visit the cafe later. It's part of my daily routine.
- Yeah... Every time I see the twins, I come to the same conclusion. They're so cuuuute! ♥
- I eat here practically every day. I'm what you'd call a regular!
- I always look forward to seeing the twins. ♥
- Who's your favorite: Iluka or Siluka? I've been trying to make up my mind for years!
- Iluka's a beauty with sharp edges. Siluka's sweeter but just as cute. Hmmm. I just can't decide! ♥

- The ruins here were build thousands of years ago. Originally they were used as some sort of temple, apparently.
- You're asking why a professor like me is going out of his way to investigate ruins first hand? Professors don't just hang around and do research in libraries all day. You won't find any hidden secrets there. If you want to be a good archaeologist, you've gotta get out of the library!
Jolyne
Jolyne is a marine biologist studying the marine ecosystem of Lulukoko. Her name and lines are most likely references to Jolyne Cujoh[9] and the Stone Ocean arc of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure which debuted in 1999.

Kaua

Kumu

The Vei language is a regional language of Grand Cape Mount, Liberia in Africa [12].
In the Japanese version, Kumu is spelled クム.
Lines
- Can I "bee" of assistance to you?
- Yep, I'm a beekeeper by trade.
- Isn't honey great? It's my specialty!
- Bees aren't scary once you get to know 'em!
- When it rains, bees can't fly around to do their work. That means it'll take longer for them to make their honey.
- Have you done much beekeeping? The kind of honey you get is different depending on what kind of flower you use.
Malana
Malana works part-time at Lala Salama, Lulukoko's inn. He's indebted to Tototara for the kind treatment he received when he stayed at the inn while he was younger.
