[edit] Plot
The series features Mondo Ooya and his (girl)friend Rockna Hiiragi, whose father invented a way to travel to MonWorld (Rokumon Sekai, the SixGate World), where all sorts of magical creatures live. Together, they try to find six monster items which, when combined, could merge the SixGate World with planet Earth for the better of both worlds. Rockna and Mondo form the Mon Colle Knights, and when chanting a phrase they can merge into monsters and control them into battle as well as aid with spells. Almost every episode, they battle Prince Eccentro (Count Collection in the Japanese version) and his two lackeys who are after the same thing as the Mon Colle Knights, except that they intend to use the items to dominate both worlds.

[edit] Main characters
[edit] Mon Colle Knights
- Mondo Ooya (大矢門斗 Ōya Mondo): An adventurous young boy who seeks to gather the Mon items to bring together his world and Mon world for peace and friendship. Even though he has an outgoing and determined nature, Mondo has a little problem: he always flirt with pretty girls (like Kahimi).
- Rockna Hiragi (柊六奈 Hiiragi Rokuna): Mondo's genius girlfriend, whose intentions match Mondo's. She has a special telepathic ability to communicate with monsters. Whenever her boyfriend Mondo starts drooling over other girls, she goes a furious anger and shocks him back to reality.
- Jyane (ジャーネ Jäne) / Lovestar: A Zeechi (ラブスター Lovestar in the Japanese version) that Rockna adopted.
- Professor Ichiroubei Hiragi (柊一郎兵衛 Hiiragi Ichirōbei): Rockna's father and a mad scientist. He discovered Mon world and wants the human world to know about it so he can win lots of awards.
- Punchpunch (パンチパンチ Panchipanchi): A tiny monkey monster who packs quite a punch.
[edit] Collection Team
- Count Ludwig Presto Von Meinstein Collection / Prince Ludwig Von Monsterstein Eccentro: The principal villain, a young effeminate aristocrat from Europe who wants to take over Mon World. Not much a threat due to his eccentric behavior and hysterical persona at times. In the English versions, he was a "time traveler from the twelfth century." In the original version, he was homosexual. The reference to his being homosexual would have been removed from the Singaporean manga no matter what, since Singapore bans anal sex.
- Guko (グーコ Gūko) / Gluko: Eccentro's buxom, yet air-headed lackey. She tends to be spared by Tanaka when it's time for punishment and has a creepy amount of luck. She never seems to get hurt while the rest of her team usually does.
- Batch (バッチ Bacchi): Eccentro's tomboyish lackey. She, unfortunately, gets punished by Tanaka as well.
- Repuri-chan (レプリちゃん) / Impy: A cheerful young Forest Imp (Known as a Leprechaun (レプラコーン) in the Japanese version) who is Gluko's pet.
- Chuzaemon Takenaka (竹中忠左衛門 Takenaka Chūzaemon) / Tanaka: Eccentro's mentor who usually punishes Eccentro for his screw ups (and/or lack of manly attitude) with back-breaking exercises related to the episode's content. He tends to pop up anywhere.
[edit] Supporting Cast
- Namiko Gokumare (極稀並子 Gokumare Namiko) / Ms. Naomi Loon: Mondo and Rockna's teacher, a rather nice lady who has a short temper and terrible luck with love. There is a monster card featuring her.
- Lailai (来来 Rairai): A young girl which the Mon Colle Knigths often encounter at random, while she travels the world carrying impossible amounts of little monsters in her coat. Jaane/Lovestar was given to Rokuna by her.
- Kahimi (カヒミ Kahimi): An elf monster with very long hair, whose beauty incites Rockna's jealousy whenever Mondo compliments Kahimi (though Rockna holds nothing against Kahimi herself). She becomes a good friend and ally of the Mon Colle Knights, especially with her ability to make plants grow and control over the winds of Mon World.
- Beginner (ベギナ Begina): A cute but accident prone girl with a large appetite who is learning to become a summoner. While powerful, her aim is terrible, so she tends to hurt her allies by accident. She is a friend of Mondo and Rockna. Her grandfather, Expert, runs the summoning school she attends.
- Luke (ルーク Rūku): A friend of Beginner who has a poorly disguised crush on her. Luke is a summoning prodigy and considers Mondo his biggest rival as a monster summoner and for Beginner's heart. Around Beginner, Luke becomes so nervous he can summon only purple sheep. Beginner, for her part, is oblivious to Luke's crush on her.
- Lambda (ラムダ Ramuda): A purple sheep who is a friend of Luke's.
- Zaha (ザハ Zaha) / Gabriolis: A former Light Angel. During a great war between good and evil, he was wounded and left behind by his friend Lark. He felt betrayed and abandoned, and embraced the darkness that Redda offered him. It was later revealed that Lark in fact took his place in battle and died, after which Gabriolis realized his error and reverted back to good, though maintaining his dark appearance. He also helped Mondo and Rockna defeat Dread Dragon and destroyed Redda in the final episode.
- Rutto (ルット Rutto) / Lucca: Gabriolis' friend and partner.
