Shotaro Kaneda

Tetsuo Shima

Kei

Colonel Shikishima

  • Colonel Badass
  • Took a Level In Badass: The Colonel, after the timeskip in the manga. Before, he's a very angry Elite Mook who spends his whole time shouting conflicting orders. After, he's a much more thoughtful and outright heroic character who shows that he's a very badass fighter who's not to be messed with as time goes on, leading up to him attempting to take out Tetsuo head on.

Akira

Kyoko, Takashi and Masaru

  • Apologetic Attacker: Takashi uses his Psychic Powers to pretty much blow up a girl named Mozu, but it's clear that he saw it as the only alternative and apologizes before and after doing so.
  • Creepy Child
  • Ill Girl: Kyoko is bedridden and has a weaker health than the others. Masaru is confined to a wheelchair
  • Never Grew Up
  • Sacrificial Lion: Takashi, who gets shot in the head by no real reason at all. And right when he had found Akira and was happily going to him! This completely causes an horrified Akira to release his powers, taking almost all of Neo Tokyo with him.


Kaori

Lady Miyako

Sakaki, Mozu and Miki


Chiyoko

Joker

Nezu

Tetsuo's handyman

Kaisuke aka Kai
