* [[Cross Dresser]]: Both as a Masou-Shoujo and as a [[Cat's Eye|Kisugi sister]] parody. The former mode puts him in a pink frilly dress, and the latter mode (seen in the OVA) puts him in a unitard. Apart from those examples, episode 6 of season 2 has him crossdressing to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe per popular demand.

* [[Cursed With Awesome]]: Being a zombie grants him functional immortality, regeneration and [[Super Strength]]. Becoming a masou-shoujo gives him even more powers. However, he lacks a number of [[Required Secondary Powers]], meaning his body will tear itself apart if he uses his super strength too much, and his masou-shoujo outfit is intensely humiliating (but thank God for that [[Laser Guided Amnesia|memory-wash ability]] taken from Haruna).

Characters in Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?. Additions are appreciated.

Ayumu Aikawa

 Voiced by: Takuma Terashima (Drama CD), Junji Majima (Anime) [Japanese] and Austin Tindle [English]

The protagonist of the series. An Ordinary High School Student killed by Kyoko before the start of the series and revived as a zombie by Eucliwood Hellscythe. Technically he is now under her servitude, but more often than not he's the one running the household.

 "This is the fantasy of our weak-hearted protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu."

Eucliwood Hellscythe ("Eu")

 Voiced by: Yukari Tamura (Drama CD), Midori Tsukimiya (Anime - Main), Kotono Mitsuishi, Mika Kanai, Tomoko Kaneda, Yuko Minaguchi, Satomi Koorogi, Sakura Tange, Yuki Matsuoka, Noriko Hidaka (Anime [Season 1 Delusion]), Fumi Hirano (OVA [Delusion)], Aya Hisakawa (Season 1 [Episode 0 Delusion]), Kikuko Inoue, Omi Minami, Kimiko Koyama, Mariko Kouda, Etsuko Kozakura, Chisa Yokoyama, Mayumi Iizuka, Sumi Shimamoto, Yui Horie (Anime [Season 2 Delusion]) [Japanese] and Cherami Leigh [English]

A necromancer and possibly the most powerful masou-shoujo ever, able to both kill and revive a person with her voice alone. As a result, she only speaks through writing words on a notepad, and constantly wears plate armor just to prevent her powers from going out of control.

Haruna

 Voiced by: Kaoru Mizuhara (Drama CD), Iori Nomizu (Anime) [Japanese] and Jād Saxton [English]

A self-described genius "masou-shoujo" from Villiers who fights Megalo, though her genius seems based in a whole different universe. Her weapon of choice is a pink chainsaw named Mystletainn, but she accidentally transferred most of her powers to Ayumu while trying to erase his memory. Now only he can wield Mystletainn against the Megalo while she regenerates her powers. In the meantime, she's squatting at his house and cooking fried egg in all its forms.

Seraphim

 Voiced by: Shizuka Itou (Drama CD), Youko Hikasa (Anime) [Japanese] and Morgan Garrett [English]

A beautiful, skilled vampire ninja obsessed with her sword technique. She came to ask for Eu's help in a secret war her clan is fighting, but after losing a fight against Ayumu decided to stick around his house instead. She can make sharp objects out of leaves.

  • Actor Allusion: Her cat-ears experience. Amusingly enough, earlier in that same episode, Maelstrom pulls off the "Moe Moe~ KYUN!" stance while her classmates are trying to help her get Ayumu to reciprocate her love for him.
    • The Ninja Maid scene that serves as the season's climax, though, does play this straight, minus the "Moe Moe~~ KYUN!" bit.
  • Anti-Hero: Type III when she's introduced. She's probably Type II by the current point in the story.
  • Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving

 "You're a crossdressing piece of shit festering in a bag of rotten garbage, but I believe in your strength."

Maelstrom (AKA Yuki Yoshida/Tomonori)

 Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (Drama CD), Hisako Kanemoto (Anime) [Japanese] and Brittney Karbowski [English]

Another vampire ninja (from a faction which rivals Seraphim's) who fights Megalo with bowls of pork ramen. After accidentally kissing Ayumu, she finds herself married to him (becoming the fourth girl in Ayumu's harem) thanks to the traditions of her family, but seems okay with it. She also studies at Ayumu's school under the alias "Yuki Yoshida".

Sarasvati/Kirara Hoshikawa

 Voiced by: Aya Gouda [Japanese] and Caitlin Glass [English]

Sera's superior, who goes undercover at Ayumu's school as "Kirara Hoshikawa" and has a part-time idol job as "Lovely Kira".

Kyoko

 Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya [Japanese] and Lindsay Seidel [English]

An acquaintance of Orito. The only victim of the serial killer to escape, she spends time in hospital to recover from her injuries. In reality, she is the serial killer herself. Kyoko is a masou-shoujo in disguise who used to be a classmate of Haruna at Matelis.

Orito

 Voiced by: Shinya Takahashi (Drama CD), Hiroyuki Yoshino (Anime) [Japanese] and Anthony Bowling [English]

Ayumu's only normal friend at school. Obsessed with girls, but lacks the approach to actually get a girlfriend.

Taeko Hiramatsu

 Voiced by: Rie Yamaguchi [Japanese] and Erica Harte [English]

Ayumu, and Maelstrom/Yuki'sclassmate, who holds unspoken affection for the former.

Kanami Mihara

File:Kore wa zombie desu ka kanami 5281.jpg

 Voiced by: Mina [Japanese] and Emerick Jade [English]

Ayumi and Yuki's classmate and Taeko's best friend.

King of the Night (Yoru no Ou)

 Voiced by: Koji Yusa [Japanese] and Eric Vale [English]

The only other zombie Eucliwood raised besides Ayumu. Had to be put down after his heart was stained with malice, but he's still active. He's the one pulling Kyoko's strings.

 "If I die, make me a penguin. I like penguins. Forgive me, Eucliwood."

 "In time, you will understand the hardships of living an immortal life."

Ariel (Dai-Sensei)

 Voiced by: Ai Shimizu [Japanese] and Monica Rial [English]

The teacher of Matelis Magical Academy in Villiers, which Haruna and Kyoko belong to. She's very odd.

Chris/Takeshi Kurusu

 Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame (as Chris) and Daisuke Kishio (as "Takeshi")[Japanese]

A pink-haired girl who often shows up drunken in the school infirmary. In reality, she was a masou-shoujo currently under the Queen's Curse following a failed coup she led (and Ariel concocted) against Queen Lilian Lilith a century before Ayumu's death and subsequent zombification, occasionally turning her into "Takeshi Kurusu", a middle-aged man who happens to be a teacher at Ayumu's class.

Shimomura

 Voiced by: Itsuki Takizawa [Japanese]

One of Ayumu's classmates. In reality, he, like Eucliwood, is a denizen of the underworld and himself a Megalo who is very much in control of his own instincts.

Naegleria Nebiros

 Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu [Japanese]

A yaoi doujinshi and an old friend of Eucliwood. She is also the one who drafted the concoction Chris uses to temporarily transform her back to her old self, as well as a member of Eucliwood's seven paladins.
