They are a group of Ataru's classmates and so-called
friends, all of whom are infatuated with Lum.
Lum's Stormtroopers, Lum's Fan Club, Lum's Guards..Call them what
you will. These four average high school boys have one unifying
goal: To assure Lum's happiness. In doing so, each of them keep
hoping they can win Lum's heart.
There's four members to this cast of miscreants. There's
Perm, the gawky boy with puffy hair, Chibi the little twerp who's
always being beat up, Kakugari the bully type who's almost always
beating up on Chibi and then the one with glasses, their leader
Megane.
They're all the best of friends, but wouldn't hesitate to stab each
other in the back if Lum is involved. All of the boys want Lum,
but it would seem that Megane is the only one who truly loves
her. He would go through hell and back for her,
if only she hadn't fallen for that fiend Ataru.
Megane is highly philosophical and intellectual yet he is also an obnoxious
loud mouth, and I mean loud. He is prone to bombastic speeches and temporary fits of
insanity that bring attention to himself. Screaming at the top of his lungs
whenever he gets the least bit emotional.
Megane takes his love for Lum very seriously. He has dedicated
his life to admiring her. He even has to keep the other three in line since
they often waver in their dedication to Lum. Painfully he knows that Lum only has eyes for
Ataru, but he can bear it because her happiness is paramount to him.
Megane is also somewhat of an amateur film producer. On a few occasions
he has tried to create movies, always with Lum as the heroine. Megane
also has build a mobile suit which he sometimes wears to do battle.
Although they are important characters in the anime, Lum's Guards weren't that
prominent in the manga. In fact they only exist in the first couple of UY volumes and
disappeared from the cast when Takahashi started to take UY in a different direction.
