Character

Mugihito (Alien Captain)

The Aliens are a group of aliens who observe Becky from orbit of the Earth. They are often involved in numerous silly antics, but seem to be adhere to a code of non-interference with the humans. Ichijo and her sister are the only ones who know about them. Their ship looks almost exactly like an upside down Musai from Mobile Suit Gundam (whose design was derived from an upside-down USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)), and in the final episodes they resemble (or have their reflections in the ship turn into) characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, specifically Captain Jean-Luc Picard, William Riker, and Geordi La Forge. This is a reference to the fact that Mugihito voiced Picard in the Japanese dub of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
