Kaede - 12 (Based on her confirmed age in Season 1)
Early Teens:
Lara (13/14) - Her character is meant to represent magical girls, who usually range in age between 10 - 15 years old. But Lara definitely seems like the youngest of the bunch.
Mid to Late Teens:
Pao-lin (16) (Based on her confirmed age in Season 1)
Subaru (16 - 18)
Thomas (16 - 18)
College Aged: (18 - 23)
Karina (19) (Based on her confirmed age in Season 1)
Ivan (21/22) (Mostly confirmed?)
Ryan (22/23)
Late 20s to 30:
Barnaby (27) (Based on his confirmed age in Season 1)
Keith (28 - 30) - His character has never felt like one of the older heroes (like Nathan, Antonio, and Kotetsu), but he also didn’t feel like a teen or early 20 year old either. So I can see him being around Barnaby’s age, just a little bit older.
Early to Mid 30s:
Agnes (33 - 35)
Nathan (34/35) - Nathan feels younger than Kotetsu and Antonio, but not by much. I feel like Nathan was already 30+ in Season 1, so I would be surprised if they were younger than that, tbh.
Mid to Late 30s +:
Antonio (35/36) - Apparently, Antonio is younger than Kotetsu. Though there was a drama CD that made it clear that they attended school together, so I don’t see him being that much younger.
Yuri (35 - 37) - I can see him being close to Kotetsu in age. He was a teen when his dad started drinking and the problems and cover-ups and staged stuff to keep Mr. Legend on top was all happening. While Kotetsu admired him as a older child and met Mr. Legend when he was still in his prime. So I feel Yuri should be around Kotetsu’s age. The connection they share via Mr. Legend also makes me think that it would be neat if they were the same age. Plus, he is a judge, and most judges are like 40+ years old.
Kotetsu (36/37) - He’s the oldest of the bunch (in regards to heroes anyway, it could be possible that Yuri is older).
*All of the confirmed ages I got from a This Is Sternbild post (all the way back in 2011). I didn’t personally agree with some of the takes on ages. This is also mostly just to reflect my own personal view on how I see the characters and the vibes they give off, etc.
Edit: We now have Kotetsu’s official age!
In the recent livestream it was revealed that Kotetsu was born in NC1942, debuted as a hero at the age of 25, was 26 when Kaede was born, was 35 in Season 1, and is now 38 years old as of Season 2!
Thanks to サンチェスパコミA55a (@tigermilk8282) for sharing the info. Go if their twitter a follow! :D
We got official confirmation that Antonio is 38 years old too! That makes sense to me, since he and Kotetsu both went to school together. I don’t know where fandom got the idea that Antonio was slightly younger, but the official confirmation is that they are the same age.
A recent tweet by Ueda-sensei about T&B 2, Episode 5. The translation is by me.
Text: “Since the citizens [of Sternbild] don’t know that Antonio and Origami are Heroes, the citizens in the bank were likely just thinking that these two awesome and mysterious NEXT just saved them.”
Series’ character designer, Masakazu Katsura, is exhibiting 40 years of his work that he has contributed to the manga and anime industry, which will include TIGER & BUNNY 2 art. Art boards and clear files are being sold as merchandise at the venue, which feature key frame art that Katsura contributed to the “kaleido proud fiesta” opening song of TIGER & BUNNY 2.
Katsura answered questions regarding TIGER & BUNNY’s production, specifically mentioning about designing the hero, Wild Tiger, which took 6 months. He recalls his persistence: “It took a long time to create the character, but I was still anxious about it. I thought, "This is it, but I don’t know if it’s good or bad…” Looking back on his feelings at the time, he said, “It was wonderful when I saw it in action. I was happy with it.”
Illustrator for the TIGER & BUNNY 2 The Comic manga, Ueda Hiroshi, has been on an absolute roll when it comes to doodling random doodling throughout these last few weeks, which he still hasn’t lost his odd sense of humour

Antonio Lopez getting his Dad Moment and being like okay listen we’re gonna get the literal children out of here before they die if it’s the last thing we’re gonna do is so sexy of him. Sometimes you have to go “now’s not the time to be 17” and yeet a teenager out of a window.
