If you read between the lines you can get much more info about them. Also, the side stories, other POV's and various hints in this 'diary' can help if you read carefully.

For example, if you read carefully, you'll notice that Rou, in the beginning, was much more human. He is quite literally turning into a demon bit by bit. He used the goblins as pawns from the beginning, but by now he seems to have split the people around him in three groups: Those he likes, like his kids and Mistresses and father elf and those he actually calls by their names. Then there are those who are valuable, like the commanders of Parabellum or the the strong fighters on his side. All others are potential food or, if they're on his side, cannon fodder and pawns.

Minokichi is actually quite developed if you do read between the lines. He appears to have a personality similar to that of a teenage boy who mostly thinks about fighting, his friendly rivalry with Rou, his girlfriend Asue, getting stronger and leading his group into exciting battles where he goes berserk. He's a rather typical goblin with little brains and doesn't become very smart either way, but he clearly ponders about fighting strategy and techniques quite a bit. He also seems to have a weakness for children and is easy to influence, especially when others admire his strength.

In general Minokichi admires strength the most, but also appreciates smart people because he is wise enough to realize that there are some things he simply cannot do. This is why he believes in Rou so much - rou can find ways to accomplish things he cannot and he has seen that again and again while growing up. He knows, as long as he does what Rou says, he himself can grow much stronger than if he tried doing things himself, plus he has the security that he'll never have to starve and won't get himself into more trouble than he can get out of, which was his biggest worry in the very beginning.
