Main characters

Rio Takeuchi44 fan favorites
External profile
The "midget" of the Blade Children group, she resembles a 13 year old child rather than her actual age, 16. Rio may seem small, but she is actually older then both Kousuke and Ryoko, as revealed in Spiral Alive, and the Bonds of reasoning manga. Although Rio appears to be the most innocent of the Blade Children with her cherubic features and size, she is actually very shrewd and calculating, and is one of the more dangerous of the blade children. Rio knows how to create bombs, devise difficult plans and kill those she considers her enemies. She is extremely intelligent and is able to escape from any sticky situation, no matter how small or tight it is. She is very straight-forward and has a crush on Eyes because he gives her 'netted pattern' melons (her favorite food). Like Kousuke, she will not hesitate to kill people if she has to.

Kousuke Asazuki39 fan favorites
External profile
The most arrogant, aggressive and most violent of all the Blade Children Kousuke is usually the implementor of assassinations. Kousuke is very strong-willed and stubborn, choosing to fight the Hunters head on rather than hide from them. He is impulsive, impatient, and tends to resort to physical violence over verbal negotiation. He is not afraid to kill and does not really trust Eyes, resulting in arguments between them. While Rio calls him stupid, in reality Kousuke is very intelligent; after skipping most of elementary school, he still manages to catch up to secondary school level from reading and learning from books. Kousuke also left middle school after a run in with a teacher. Kousuke may also have some romantic feelings for Ryoko. (Source: Wikipedia)
Shirou Sawamura1 fan favorites
External profile
A calm and intelligent boy who lives alone. Like Imari, Shirou is seen as somewhat odd. He intends to become a detective like Kiyotaka and apparently does not worry about the consequences of pursuing this path. His obsession with Yukine Amanae and Kiyotaka stems from an incident where he was kidnapped by murderer with long black hair (like Yukine). Helpless and unable to act, Shirou watched as Kiyotaka arrived and save him by telling the murderer that she could die and the woman committed suicide. Shirou's desire to reach Kiyotaka is to see if Kiyotaka's decision was right, but he feels the only way to achieve this is to reach the detective's level. After dropping out of school, he dates Yukine Amanae after she reveals a mutual interest in Kiyotaka. When Yukine's role as a serial killer is discovered, he turns her into the police. However, he continues to investigate Yukine with Ryoko in hopes of saving Yukine. (source: wikipedia.org) No voice actors have been added to this character.

Imari Sekiguchi1 fan favorites
External profile
An eccentric girl who speaks and acts without thinking and falls in love with Shirou Sawamura. She intended to confess her love to him, but kept delaying because of trivial details, like how her hair was not perfect. On the day she finally intends to confess (finally without any inhibitions), Shirou has mysteriously dropped out of school to become a great detective and pursue Kiyotaka Narumi. In her pursuit of Shirou, Imari becomes involved with Yukine Amanae, Kiyotaka Narumi, and the Blade Children. Imari is frequently described as moronic, especially because she has a fiery temper and tends to think up over-the-top somewhat unrealistic scenarios. She has two friends, Akane (茜?) and Moegi (萌黄?), who serve as explanatory foils, mostly because they tend to be level-headed and practical. After Yukine reveals herself as a serial killer, Imari is interrogated by the police and asserts a strange belief that Yukine was not involved with the murders. As a result, Kiyotaka expresses a belief that she could be the one who understands the Blade Children and Yukine Amanae. Imari is currently in contact with Kousuke, who is reluctantly working for Kiyotaka to investigate Yukine Amanae. (source: wikipedia.org) No voice actors have been added to this character.

Yukine Amanae1 fan favorites
External profile
An intelligent and beautiful girl who becomes a serial killer who leaves handmade music boxes after each murder. Yukine's motives are largely unknown, but she is apparently targeting Kiyotaka and the Blade Children for revenge. She is the sole holder of the Mikanagi File, with its information contained entirely in her memory - no concrete records of the file exist. Her father, Fusai Amanae, was a surgeon and her mother was a psychiatrist. Her father, as an associate of Professor Isabel Mikanagi, was entrusted with information concerning thirteen Blade Children erased from the list of eighty Blade Children held by Kiyotaka, the Watchers, the Savers, and the Hunters. After Mikanagi's death, the Amanae family fled to Japan with one of the Blade Children, a girl named Charlotte. When Charlotte's blood awoke murderously, Yukine's parents and Charlotte were killed in a resulting house fire, leaving Yukine the only survivor. When Yukine turned seventeen, she inherited her parents' bequest (Source: The Mikanagi File) No voice actors have been added to this character.
