   	A-ko, B-ko and C-ko were their names used in school. The rich   
   girl has a full name, A-ko though is the child of Kal-El and Diana   
   Prince aka Wonder Woman.  The cute little girl is actually an alien   
   princess according to the script and she obviously has the power of   
   attracting powerful allies.   
      
   	Well if you want the real names of the characters you can   
   simply go to   
      
      
   	This a parody of several other series.   
   	The initial setting of the anime is a city surrounding the   
   crash of a giant alien spaceship with crew, more or less intact.   
   That might give you an idea of the series being parodied.
