The main character he is a very large man with an even larger heart. He remains calm no matter what and only loses his cool when his friends are hurt, when he speaks most people can't help but feel overwhelmed by him and see the error of their ways, when he yells the force can push back a unknown amount people. He saved Hinako from Kiriu Touya and became the bancho of the Chiyoda district. He is the kind of person that helps the little guy in society, he doesn't care about leading groups, being powerful, or being rich besides his unknown reason to destroy the District Plan he seems happy just enjoying the simple things of life. He goes to Raimei Senior High School. He follows what he calls simple logic (someone hurts your friend you hurt them back), when someone does an evil or cruel act in front of him he says "that wasn't smart". Besides his fighting knowledge and schoolwork Akira isn`t very knowledgeable of technology as he almost crushed a flip-open cellphone think that you just had to press a button because of the owners comment, he even asks what was e-mail. He also has great difficulty making his favorite food pudding but this is due to his monster like strength and massive build making delicate work incredible hard for him. Besides taking down other Banchos Akira also helps those in his district with they problems. No voice actors have been added to this character.

He is the Hikyou (Cowardly) Banchou. His catch phase is "lets fight in a fair, cowardly way" He will use anything to win (lies, sneak attacks, covert weapons, kidnapping, etc) he attacks Akira with a seris of traps. Using a cell phone shaped pistol on a train to injury his leg, blowing up and office to temporally blinding him, tricking a semi-blind Akira to jump into traffic using a ball (lying to Akira saying it was a grenade) breaking his right arm, kidnapping Tsukimi so that when he finally fights Akira has to hold still. He was defeated when he tried to use a wrecking ball on Akira and was sent back at him. Akira was ready to deliver the final blow when Yuu's underling (Kouta on of his little brother) intervened stopping Akira, Harito appears and uses Kouta as shield telling Yuu to stab Akira. Yuu does so then fake stabs himself trying to save Kouta in the end Akira saved both of them since the knife had no effect on him. His reason for helping Akira is so that Akira will be indebted to help him when needed and he plans to back-stab Akira when he wins control over all the districts (the real reasons is most likely that he is thankful to Akira who worried about his (Yuu's) family even if he tried to kill him). He grew up in an orphanage where he has 13 little brothers and sisters (no blood relation) to support the orphanage (after the owners lost they money to gambling debts) he would do any dirty job for money (blackmail, fraud, stealing, etc) He wears a burglar mask and cap when he fights so others don't know what he looks like, so they don't set traps for him and also so his family won't be put in danger, he states "if it's for the sake of my precious brothers and sisters I'll be as cowardly as it takes".

The Chiyoda District Bancho also known as the Iai Bancho, he is what some would call a bishounen and he is seems very cultured and calm. He is defeated by Akira and since it was taped Akira has taken Touya's place as the district's banchou. He later returned with a group of other banchos (all of who were defeated by Akira) to assist Akira against the Five Dark Vows, his reason is that all those in the world are just talk where as Akira could back up his. During which he and the others were enrolled in Akira's class, here he shows that he can't take girls dressing in short skirts (his school required girls to wear pants) he is also very pure-hearted and follows a samurai code of honor. This is also his biggest weakness since he can't take scantily clad women, seeing this causes him to have large nosebleeds. Touya fully believes that Akira has what it takes to be the winner of the District Project and is willing to die to help Akira succeed. No voice actors have been added to this character.

The bancho of the Sumida District. He is known as the Nenbutsu (Buddhist Prayer) Banchou. He acts like Buddha and had brainwashed all the students in Kouji Senior High to be his followers of his cult. He also seems greedy since he had his followers buy many key chains, charms, etc with his image on it. He seems to have the power to blast anyone and move while sitting with some kind of psychic force but it is shown to be a trick when Akira sees Raionji use it underwater. His power is his abnormally large sized diaphragm that he keeps covered with his coat. Akira defeats him, he loses his followers (who believe Akira to be the reincarnation of Acala) and then has to pay for all the merchandise with his face on it. He later returns with a group of bancho (all defeated by Akira) to assist him against the Five Dark Vows his reason is since Akira took on his 1000 to avenge just one friend, he now truly believes in Buddha and he fully believes that Akira is the reincarnation of Acala. He is now enrolled in Akira's school where he acts like a real priest but there are times when his former greedy self appears trying to sell his merchandise. He is shown to be more cowardly in battles but will fight none the less. He gets very annoyed when people call him bald. No voice actors have been added to this character.

She is the Sasori (Scorpion) Banchou. She is the former 2nd generation leader of the all-female motorcycle gang 'Red Scorpio'. The first generation leader, who took her in as a mentor, was Kongou Takeshi's (Akira'a Brother) wife and mother to Kongou Rai (Takeshi's son and Akira's nephew). Ever since her death, Sasori Banchou has taken in Rai as some sort of adoptive son for her and has sworn to get revenge on Kongou Takeshi. Due to the similarity between Akira and Takeshi, she mistakes the former for the latter and mercilessly goes after him. The way she puts it, a woman's grudge is worse than the depths of hell and her lethal fighting style and strength seem to support that a big deal. During her fight with Akira she was shown that she was attacking the wrong guy and now she and Akira agreed to share information in order to find Takeshi. Her ponytail curves upward and has a tip making it look like a scorpion's tail. She returns to help fight against Gaugau Banchou. She appears to have a crush on Yuu Akayama, whom she doesn't know is Hikyou Banchou. No voice actors have been added to this character.

The Nippon (All Japan) Banchou. Takeshi is Akira's older brother and has been a competitor in the 23 Districts Project his father established from the very start. However, he has only recently shown to become active after Akira had interferred with the plans of the project and managed to 'conquer' half of Tokyo's districts on his own. Despite Akiras claims to go and defeat both his father and brother, Takeshi has always been the stronger of the two brothers and moved up the ladder of success at an astonishing rate. After the efforts of the 23 Districts Project were crippled by Akira and forced to a standstill, Takeshi founded the Dark Student Council and changed the Organisations plans to a nation-wide battle. Each Banchou that manages to gain control over one of the remaining 46 prefectures outside of Tokyo is automatically appointed a seat in the Dark Student Council. Members wear white banchou uniforms and their plan is to destroy the civilisation in Japan under Takeshi's lead and the rebuild and restructure the country according to his will.
