Tanaka You
A 19 year old employee at LeMU, You is a very energetic girl who often acts as the mood maker of the group, trying to keep everyone's spirits up. Her full name is actually Yuubiseiharukana (due to her father wanting to give her a unique name to contrast with her common last name), but she shortens it to You.

 * Genki Girl
 * In-Series Nickname: Sara and Coco call her "Nakkyu".
 * Overly Long Name
 * Who's On First?

Matsunaga Sara
A 16 year old girl who was on a field trip to LeMU, Sara is also an energetic girl. She is very intelligent for her age, already being an accomplished hacker, but she has an obsession with ninjas.

Kaburaki Ryogo
The Kid from the 2017 incident. During the incident, a brief possession by Blick Winkel causes him to lose his memory. After escaping LeMU, he joins You'haru in the "Third Eye Project", a plan to save Takeshi and Coco. During the time between the two incidents, Kaburaki graduates from school and joins Leiblich, like You'haru. "Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi"


 * Broken Bird: Is much more cynical as an adult due to the events of the last 17 years.
 * Dead Person Impersonation: He impersonates Takeshi, although "dead" part is subverted later.
 * Determinator: In "2035", where he keeps struggling to save Sora despite the fact that he is increasingly endangering his own existence in the process.
 * Did Not Get the Girl
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia: In an odd twist, he never regains his memories.
 * Pair the Spares: He is paired with Sora in the Drama CDs.
 * Talking to Himself: Averted most of the time (due to Takeshi and Hokuto not being voiced for most of the game). The main reason he is almost never on screen with Takeshi after growing up is because Soichiro Hoshi's voice for Takeshi and adult Kaburaki is exactly the same.
 * The Mole: During 2034 incident.

Kuranari Hokuto
The Kid from the 2034 incident, and the game's other protagonist. He is the twin brother of Sara, and the son of Takeshi and Tsugumi, and a Cure-Human hybrid. Like Sara, he was placed in an orphanage by Tsugumi in order to hide the two of them from Leiblich. Despite that, they were both found and captured by Leiblich, who left him with a foster family and kept surveillance on him. His Cure-Human status allows him to see infrared light, and also gives him enhanced strength. "Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi"


 * Determinator
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Technically. He is Cure-Human.
 * I See Dead People: Kind of - he can see Coco, but only due to her own ability.
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia
 * Morality Chain: He, along with his sister, are this for Tsugumi.
 * Official Couple: With You'aki.
 * Super Not-Drowning Skills: He survives skin-diving 300 feet into the ocean.
 * He also manages to swim up 100 feet in Sara's Route with a broken arm and still makes it up alive.
 * Super Strength: It doesn't come up quite often, though.
 * Talking to Himself: Generally averts it due to not being voiced for most of the game, but experiences this with both Takeshi and Kaburaki at times.
 * Tomato in The Mirror

Tanaka Yuubiseiharukana
The Tanaka You from the 2017 incident. She is the original You Tanaka, whose father disappeared when she was one year old. During her teenage years, she had a fatal heart condition that would kill her in a matter of years, and agreed to clone herself, giving birth to Yuubiseiakikana. Shortly after, she became an employee at LeMU in hopes of finding out what happened to her father. "Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya"


 * Absurdly Youthful Mother: Gave birth when she was fifteen, though it's justified in that she was pregnant with her own clone and chose to do so because of her heart condition.
 * Broken Bird: She is considerably much more serious in 2034 as a result of the events of the last 17 years.
 * Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: She develops the Third Eye plan.
 * Dying Declaration of Love: To Takeshi, in one of Bad Ends.
 * Hot Mom
 * Ms. Exposition: In the last act of the game, and in the Drama CDs.

Tanaka Yuubiseiakikana
The Tanaka You from the 2034 incident. She is the daughter/clone of Yubiseiharukana, and was raised to be completely identical to her. Like You'haru, she became an employee at LeMU to investigate her father's disappearance. "Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya"

Blick Winkel observes the events of the 2017 incident (through Takeshi's eyes) and the 2034 incident (through Hokuto's eyes) almost simultaneously, to the point that he believes that the two are the same incident. "Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (Drama CD only)"


 * A God Is You
 * Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: Does this to himself.
 * The Mind Is a Plaything of The Body: He loses his identity when possessing Hokuto, instead believing he is Hokuto.
