Main Characters
Yohko Mano
Actor(s): Aya Hisakawa (Japanese), Amanda Winn-Lee (English) Other voice actors
The series protagonist, the 108th generation devil hunter.
- Action Girl: The main action girl who fights in all five episodes, six if you include the music video episode.
- The Call Knows Where You Live: After defeating Tokima in OAV 5, she's actively looking forward to retiring and becoming a normal high school girl again... only to learn that there are still plenty of other demons in the world, many of them with grudges against the Mano clan.
- Cartwright Curse: Despite wanting to find a boyfriend, Yohko has terrible luck with guys throughout the series.
- OAV 1: The guy whom Yohko is in love with, Hideki Kondo, is never indicated to have reciprocated her feelings and literally vanishes after Yohko prevents him being made into a Human Sacrifice by killing the Black Queen. The Dogged Nice Guy who is into Yohko, Osamu Wakabayashi, has an unreciprocated crush, and though Yohko's grandmother does volunteer him to father Yohko's daughter once Yohko has awakened as the 108th Devil Hunter, he vanishes from canon and never reappears in any of the subsequent OA Vs.
- OAV 2: This is actually the only OAV where Yohko doesn't have a new Love Interest to swoon after.
- OAV 3: It turns out the Pretty Boy Master Biryuu in Yohko's dream was never in love with her. Instead, his old attendant faked the dream of their being a Reincarnation Romance in order to manipulate Yohko into freeing him so he could reunite with his actual lover, the wood nymph Princess Yanagi.
- OAV 5note : Yohko's latest Love Interest, the handsome new senior transfer student Asakura Ryuichi, is possessed by the demon Tokima, and his flirtation is just him trying to break the ancient seal created by the first Devil Hunter, Haruka Mano.
- OAV 6note : Dark Action Girl Ayako Mano, Yohko's Unknown Rival, deliberately seduces the guys that Yohko is drooling over — first a fellow student named Tateno, and then a new teacher called Yuusuke Sano — as a prelude to her goal of defeating Yohko and taking her place. She even gets the latter possessed — and implicitly killed off — when she accidentally releases a demon.
- Clothing Damage: You never see an episode where Yohko is fully clothed throughout an episode. Not one. Even her Transformation Sequence involves shredding whatever clothes she's wearing before she can summon the Devil Hunter's qipao in their place — and unlike most Magical Girl transformations, there's no magical protection of her modesty as she does, leaving her nipples and genitalia on full display for anyone watching.
- Faustian Rebellion: It's mentioned in passing in OAV 5 that at least one source of the Devil Hunters' (admittedly ambiguous) magical powers is the Youma Ring they wear, which contains a fragment of the powers of their demonic Arch-Enemy Tokima.
- Has a Type: Chikako lampshapes in the final OAV that Yohko has a thing for the Pretty Boy type. All of her crushes are shown to be really pretty guys.
- Mystical 108: She's the 108th Devil Hunter, which seems to mark her as special. She is both the one who foils the prophesied rise of the Black Queen and the threat of the gates of Makai opening back unto Earth in the first episode, and then becomes the one to slay Tokima, the Arch-Enemy of the Mano clan, in the fourth episode.
- Only Sane Man: In her household, she's far more rational than her sex-crazed mother and less hot blooded than her grandmother, often acting as the referee when the two fight.
- Red Is Heroic: As the Devil Hunter, she weaers a bright red qipao adorned with a yin-yang symbol on the chest.
- Smitten Teenage Girl: Yohko's crushes are brief but intense. Her friend Chikako even notes that she falls in and out of love easily.
- Stating the Simple Solution: Yohko comments to herself in OAV 6 that her and Ayako's rivalry is ridiculous; as they both clearly inherited the powers of the Mano clan, they should both be Devil Hunters.
Chikako Ogawa
Actor(s): Chieko Honda (Japanese), Tiffany Grant (English) Other voice actors
The 108th generation devil hunter's best friend and self-appointed manager.
- Inconsistent Spelling: Her name is sometimes spelled Chigako.
Azusa Kanzaki
Actor(s): Konami Yoshida (Japanese), Kimberly Yates (English) Other voice actors
The 108th generation devil hunter's relative and apprentice devil hunter.
- Action Girl: The secondary action girl of the series. She doesn't really do all that well, though.
- Jumped at the Call: The second episode has Azusa come to Tokyo to join Yohko as an assistant.
- Put on a Bus: Episode 6 features Azusa going to visit her parents, during which time her role in the story is filled by Ayako's sidekick, Asuza Two.
Madoka Mano
Actor(s): Yūji Mitsuya (old), Satomi Koorogi (young) (Japanese), Sharon Shawnessey (old), Laura Chapman (young) (English) Other voice actors
The 107th generation devil hunter. Yohko's grandmother.
- Action Girl: Back in the day, Madoka Mano was an action girl herself.
- Badass Biker: Leather jacket, check. Googles and scarf that cover her face, check. A motorcycle that can speed through Tokyo highways and somehow survive to crash through a skylight? Check.
- Cain and Abel: The Abel to her twin sister Chiaki's Cain. Madoka barely beat her for the right to become the 107th Devil Hunter, so Chiaki ran away and raised a family for the sake of avenging herself. While it's clear that Madoka does love her daughter and granddaughter, Chiaki on the other hand only seems to view her granddaughter Ayako as a weapon to take back the title she thinks she was robbed of.
- Consummate Liar: Never gives Yohko a straight answer when it's important. Like in Episode 1 when demons try to rape or kill her. Or in Episode 6 when rivals try to oust her.
- Fountain of Youth: In OAV 5, an unexpected reaction between Tokima's magic and a barrier created by Madoka temporarily de-ages her to a teenager.
- I Want Grandkids: Zigzagged. At the end of the first OAV, once Yohko has awakened as a fully-realized Devil Hunter, she encourages Yohko to have a daughter to become the 109th Devil Hunter as soon as possible, even literally throwing Yohko's would-be boyfriend Osamu at her. But in OAV 5, she tries to stop Yohko from being around the cute new guy she's crushing on, telling her multiple times that she should wait until marriage to lose her virginity.
- Miniature Senior Citizens: She's shorter than her sixteen year old granddaughter. Justified in OAV 5, which reveals she was this short when she was a teen herself.
- Never Mess with Granny: A major lampshade. Ninja devil hunter since she was a child.
- Where Did We Go Wrong?: She's openly disgusted by Sayoko's horniness and has at least once muttered that she should've had an abortion. Considering Sayoko wasn't able to become a Devil Hunter due to losing her virginity at 16 (which also resulted in a Teen Pregnancy and Sayoko being a single mom), it seems a lot of Madoka's frustrations come from her continuing as Devil Hunter for longer than she should have until Yohko came of age.
Sayako Mano
Actor(s): Hiromi Tsuru (Japanese), Carol Amerson (English) Other voice actors
The 108th generation devil hunter's mother.
- All Women Are Lustful: Sayako sleeps around and encourages Yohko to do the same. Madoka equates Sayoko to a literal bitch in heat.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parent: It doesn't get more embarrassing than your mother encouraging you to have sex while eating breakfast, followed by giving you condoms before you go to school to celebrate your impending 16th birthday.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Because she was disqualified from becoming a Devil Hunter, she has no idea her mother and daughter hunt down demons in their spare time.
- Open-Minded Parent: To an unsettling degree in the first OVA. She casually chats with Yohko about her sex life, openly asking if she's lost her virginity yet and advising her not to wait around. She then sends her off to school with a pack of condoms the same way another woman would remind their child not to forget their lunch.
- Parents as People: She does love her daughter, but Sayoko is still a very sex-obsessed woman who acts like a teenager to the point it's implied Madoka did most of the work raising Yohko. In the later OVAs, Sayoko calms down and starts acting like more of an adult.
- They Just Dont Get It: In OAV 5, Yohko's mother Sayoko refuses to accept that her own mother, Yohko's grandmother Madoka, has been de-aged by an unexpected conflux of Tokima's powers and her own barrier, despite Yohko and Madoko both repeatedly explaining it to her.

- Ship Tease: At the end of the first OAV, Madoka declares that now she's a fully fledged Demon Hunter, Yohko needs to hurry up and have a daughter to become the 109th after her. She promptly declares that Osamu will do and then almost literally throws him at her.
- Unlucky Childhood Friend: Poor Osamu. He's introduced crushing hard on Yohko, who has no interest in him and is more interested in Hideki Kondo. The principal got hot for Osamu, curses Osamu to rape Yohko, grandmother breaks in to stop them, then last seen at a party being hit in the head by Yohko tearing her already torn battle dress.

- Arch-Enemy: Haruka Mano became the first Devil Hunter explicitly to defeat him, and he has haunted the Mano family ever since, striving to defeat them.

- Evil Only Has to Win Once: Tokima can only die if 108 Devil Hunters defeat him in unbroken succession. If he wins even once, he will undo the seal and regain his full powers, allowing him to fully re-unify Earth and Makai, unleashing the demonic legions upon the world once again.
- Eye Scream: One of his 107 scars is across his right eye, blinding it, and when Yohko battles him, her grandmother instructs her to aim for his remaining left eye. Guess where she hits him to kill him?
- Hero Killer: He flat-out kills Yohko, after every other demon had at best been able to cut her or rip her clothes.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He had won his fight, killing Yohko and breaking the seal. Then he decide to toss Yohko's corpse into a temporal rift out of sheer spite. The result was that her body popped out in the ancient past, where her ancestor Haruka brought her back to life then traveled to the present with her, leading to his final death.
- Space Master: It is said that one of his powers is to control space, an ability he most prominently used to link Earth and Makai.

He is then absorbed into the rock before the demon within emerges, with it noting it has used Yuusuke's body to take physical form. He is never seen reappearing after the demon is killed. It's possible he's dead, or even that Ayako killed him when his head first hit the stone.
