Main characters

Shiki417 fan favorites
External profile
Height: 188 cm Shiki has black hair, scarlet eyes, and somewhat pale skin. He is almost always seen with a katana; and is shown to treat the blade with utmost respect. Due to the fact he slaughters the participants of Igura without any apparent rhyme or reason, he is highly feared and dreaded, with anyone who encounters him turning tail and running for their life. He is shown to be one of the strongest (if not the strongest), people in Toshima, able to hold his own against both Kiriwar and Gunji in a fight.
Akira237 fan favorites
External profile
The series protagonist. Akira is the cool and silent type. He has grayish hair, blue eyes, and stands at 172cm tall. Likes omelet rice flavored Solids. He grew up as an orphan along with Keisuke. Akira was an undefeated champion of the street fighting game "Bl@ster", where he participated in the RAY district under the name LOST. He was accused of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, but Emma got him out of jail so he could participate in Igura, which he does with slight reluctance. He usually acts cold and uncaring, but has a very naive side to him. His weapon is a knife.
Rin77 fan favorites
External profile
A young blond, blue-eyed boy participating in Igura. 154cm tall. Though he is sometimes mistaken for a girl because of his small body, he is quite strong and able to get by in Igura. He helps Akira around the town and cheers up Akira when he's down. Rin is also related to Shiki. He is a former Bl@ster participant (from the GHOST area) who fights with two small daggers and also enjoys taking pictures. Likes the yakiniku flavored Solids.
Keisuke64 fan favorites
External profile
Akira's childhood friend and hard-working factory employee. Has brown hair and eyes and is 178cm tall. Likes green curry flavored Solids. He and Akira grew up together in the same orphanage. Because he is a bit weak, he has always admired Akira's strength. Though he is a bit quiet and shy, if Akira is involved, he suddenly becomes bold. Upon hearing Akira's situation, Keisuke chases after Akira and also joins Igura, despite his weakness and lack of fighting experience.
Nano18 fan favorites
External profile
An enigmatic figure throughout the game. He is not an Igura participant and carries neither tags nor a weapon, despite the dangers in Toshima. He dresses very conservatively, which adds to his unsettling behavior. 182cm tall. Though he often appears in front of Akira, it is a mystery as to whether he is a friend or foe. (from: Wikipedia)
