Kai Kudō
Kai Kudō
Voiced by: Yuuki Tai (Japanese), Chris Patton (English)
Kai Kudō is the series protagonist.
- All-Loving Hero: He don't want to kill nor hit anyone.
- Alliterative Name: Kai Kudō
- Ambiguously Bi: Maybe...
- Attractive Bent-Gender: Wasn't really delighted to find out his female disguise had caused some rather... intense (bordering on Stalker with a Crush) feelings in someone who just happened to see him momentarily.
- Bash Brothers: With Yuki.
- Chick Magnet: Has managed to earn the affections of Shin-Lu, and Asuka.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
- Even the Guys Want Him
- Mundane Utility: Kai's Esper powers and military training are, for most of the first part of the series, used for things like retrieving lost pets, stealing comic book thieves, getting ingredients for ramen and dressing like a woman.
- Parental Abandonment: He was orphaned before the start of the anime.
- Promotion to Parent: Kai's and Hikaru's parents are nowhere to be seen so he became her caretaker.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: He will go for non-lethal incapacitations without fail. Even against Mecha-Mooks. (Though the Mecha Mook in question was once human, but...)
Hikaru Kudō
Hikaru Kudō
Voiced by: Hisayo Mochizuki (Japanese), Danielle Kimball (English)
- Parental Abandonment: She's an orphan that Kai took in and became her caretaker.
- Psychic Powers: She has psychic powers that Eiji wants to use to wipe out most of Earth's population because he claims that it'll make espers like her "happy".
- Unstable Powered Child: Hikaru, is disturbingly powerful, unaware of it, and kept bedridden and spoiled by the Ashurum corporation in order to keep her older brother in line.
Shen-Long Belvedere
Shen-Long Belvedere
Voiced by: Masako Nozawa (Japanese), Greg Ayres (English)
- Big Brother Instinct: He does want to make Shinlu happy, but fails to actually listen to what she herself wants, gets rather... touchy whenever something seems to be threatening Shinlu... or taking her away from him. He pretty much crosses into Knight Templar Big Brother territory when going batshit insane upon finding Shinlu down for the count in Gald and subsequently wrecking a good portion of the city in his showdown with Kai. Then again, his love for her does eventually put his hatred against Kai aside and cooperate with him.
- Hair Antennae
- Jerkass
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Mind over Matter: He has telekinetic powers.
- Teleportation: Of his Psychic Powers, includes teleportation.
Shin-Lu Belvedere
Shin-Lu Belvedere
Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)
- Cool Big Sis: She cares about her younger brother a lot as an older sister should, although she is frustrated with his condescending and sardonic attitude towards Kai Kudō.
- Smitten Teenage Girl
- Through His Stomach: She initially begins developing some sort of affection for Kai, as evidenced by baking a cake for him.
Yuki Tokugawa
Yuki Tokugawa
- Badass Normal
- Bash Brothers: With Kai.
- Big Brother Mentor: To Kai, despite being an year older than him.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Yuuki, who, to be honest, is basically a money-hoarding jackass who works Kai like a slavedriver, doesn't particularly seem to care about putting him into seriously dangerous positions and forces him to dress like a woman. Twice. Also takes care of orphaned children, donating most of the money he so loves to hoard to them, raised Asuka pretty much by himself and does come to care for Kai's wellbeing too. Even if he won't really admit it.
- Promotion to Parent: Yuuki is this for a whole bunch of kids and basically Asuka as well, despite being more fitting to be her brother age-wise.
Asuka Tokugawa
Asuka Tokugawa
Voiced by: Sanae Kobayashi (Japanese), Hilary Haag (English)
- The Empath: Is apparently able to sense emotions by touching people, and various intense emotions from great distances.
- Friend to All Living Things
- The Ingenue: Fits pretty well, except for the whole "immune to sexual innuendo" thing.
- Lethal Chef: To the extent Yuuki couldn't speak for an entire day after tasting her cooking. She's been given a permanent ban from the kitchen, making this... Stay Out of the Kitchen?
- Opening Narration: Her "My life with Kai and Yuuki" story.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: Of the "speaks human to the animals who make animal sounds in return and understanding is achieved" variety. Apparently, somewhat linked to her being...
Eiji Sagimiya
Eiji Sagimiya
Voiced by: Akimitsu Takase (Japanese), Jay Hickman (English)
- Manipulative Bastard: Mr. Eiji. Seems nice enough and his interactions with Hikaru are definite Pet the Dog material. ...Until you realize it was all probably a well calculated ploy to get Hikaru to forget about Kai and make sure she'd cooperate in his attempts to bring about The End of the World as We Know It.
- Near-Villain Victory: His plan to use Hikaru's Psychic Powers to wipe out most of Earth's population is nearly successful, as Hikaru was put into a machine that enhances her telepathic abilities to the point it can cover and attack a vast area of people, but Kai, who was informed by Shen-Long, and Yuki Tokugawa intervened and rescued her from such a fate.
Maria
Maria
Voiced by: Akiko Hiramatsu (Japanese), Christine Auten (English)
- The Empath: Might have some qualities from this.
- Fortune Teller: She's a witch afterall.
Erimiya
Erimiya
Voiced by: Mahito Tsujimura (Japanese), Todd Waite (English)
- When Elders Attack: Seems like a harmless old geezer at first glance. Then he takes down Shinlu, who was going through his underlings effortlessly, via Mind Rape.
Cardinal Giberini
Kyou
Kyou
Voiced by: Shinnosuke Tachibana (Japanese), Chris Ayres (English)
- Anime Hair: Sports a style of what is known as "gravity defying" hair.
- Blood Knight: Kyou, who seems to get most of his kicks out of coming back to battle Kai time after time... and tends to have undergone certain... modifications after every return.
- White Hair, Black Heart
Dzhuma Darvaza Ark
Dzhuma Darvaza Ark
Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese), Vic Mignogna (English)
- Brown Note: Dzhyma's little gadget. Harmless to ordinary humans, causes extreme pain and, with enough power, death to Espers. He made it For Science!
- Hopeless Suitor: Dzhyma was smitten with Asuka at first glance. Unfortunately for him, Asuka only has eyes for Kai. Doesn't stop him from declaring them rivals in love, though.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: An attractive blond-haired guy.

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Serena Varghese (English)
