Kouichi, Mei, Reiko, and Yuuya are more or less static in all versions of the story.

Izumi is really irrelevant in the novel, a bit nutty in the manga, somewhat justifiably angry in the anime, and a massive bitch in the movie.

Tomohiko is pretty much the same in the manga and novel, a minor character-turned psychopath in the anime, and about the only person who uses his head in the film.

Takeru is a minor character in the novel, more or less irrelevent in the manga (aside from making amends with Kouichi at the Inn), vanishes in the anime, and is homicidal in the film.

Takako, like Izumi, is irrelevant to the novel, nice but not really present in the manga, a decent person until she starts losing friends to the Calamity in the anime, and an emotional wreck in the film (she manages to hit just about every pole imaginable for a character).

Naoya is a dumbass in every version of Another except the film, in which case he's kind of a prick. He sits with Mei, Kouichi, and Yuuya at dinner (why I have no idea because he specifically told Kouichi they couldn't be friends) and immediately afterward he and Takeru go rummaging through Kouichi's things looking for the tape. So I'm really not sure what they were thinking with him there.
