-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/HisakoKanemoto (Japanese), Creator/RyanBartley (English)
----
* AllLovingHero: Boco's big character establishing moment is risking his life to safe a stuck turtle. He even is the only one in the group to want to save Brody and his group, the ones who tormented them and stole their money.
* BabyOfTheBunch: Boco is the smallest of his friend-group, and due to his kindheartedness and naivity is treated by Jun and especially Joe as a kid brother, even though he's the same age as them.
* TheChosenOne: Of all the children who come into contact with the Kaiju, Boco's status as a code-holder makes him a person of particular interest to the Eustace Foundation, fostering a strong PsychicLink with Gamera.
* HeroicBSOD: He suffers two.
** [[spoiler:When Joe seemingly sacrifices himself by manually launching the escape pod while being left behind.]]
** [[spoiler:When Gamera is on the brink of death after saving Boco and his group from a crashing escape pod.]]
* TigerMom: Boco's mother is obsessed with [[EducationMama him getting good grades]], nagging him to study instead of going out to play and sending him to a special school, thus separating him from his friends. He tends to ignore her and blow her off.

[[folder:Satoru "Joe" Matsuda]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joe02.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka (Japanese), Creator/RobbieDaymond (English)
----
* ChildrenRaiseYou: Considering his dad is depressed and drinking it seems Joe has to help motivate him to work and eat, along with taking a paperboy job to help support them and doing the cooking for them both.
* CoolBigSis: Gender-inverted. Due to Boco's immaturity, Joe acts like an overprotective older brother towards him--and to an extent Jun as well--due to not only being the biggest of the three but having once had a little sibling. This causes friction when Boco accuses Joe of treating him like [[ReplacementGoldfish a replacement for his little brother]].
* EmbarrassingNickname: His nickname, "Joe", comes from when he stopped to protect Boco from a bully en route to the bathroom and ended up peeing his pants.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: He grows increasingly suspicious of the Foundation during episode 4, suspecting that they're really who they claim to be. His suspicions were proven correct by the time episode 5 comes out.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler: In Boco's last glimpse of him as the escape pod falls away from the shuttle, he smiles.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He sacrifices himself to launch the escape pod out of the damaged shuttle, being left behind. However, the post credit scene of the final episode reveals he is still alive.]]
* OnlySaneMan: He's the only one that really worries about the risk of being targeted by kaiju and takes it seriously.
* ParentalNeglect: Joe's dad just shut down after his mom and sister died, leading him to drinking a lot to the point where he barely pays any attention to his son.

[[folder:Jun "Junichi" Ishihara]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/junichi02.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AkiToyosaki (Japanese), Creator/AbbyTrott (English)
----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Jun is a nerd who obsesses over science fiction conspiracy theories, but is good with tech and knowledgeable about scientific subjects that go over the others' heads.
* EtTuBrute: She was hurt and shocked [[spoiler:that Emiko was trying to feed her and her friends to Viras to kill the Earth population that she no longer sees Emiko as a friend when the latter tried to spare her of this account]].
* LadyLooksLikeADude: She's androgynous, has BoyishShortHair, and is very much a {{tomboy}}, leading to Brody assuming she's a boy.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: The second-smallest of the kids and not only logical but is tech savvy.

[[folder:Douglas Ken "Brody" Osborn]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brody02.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/SubaruKimura (Japanese), Creator/SeanChiplock (English)

* FireForgedFriends: After a rough start in his HeelFaceTurn and by the final episode, he establishes himself as a friend in Boco's group
* FreudianExcuse: Douglas' father was strict and harsh towards him, and he's been trying his best to live up to his standards and win over his approval as a result. No wonder he was being a JerkAss.
* HeelFaceTurn: He starts off a thuggish, racist bully who terrorizes the local Japanese kids and beats them up if they stand up to him, but after Boco's group saves him from a Gyaos he joins them and mellows out considerably towards them.
* HeadbuttingHeroes: After his HeelFaceTurn, he and Joe spend several of the earlier episodes at each others' throats.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He suffers under a strict and harsh military dad and wants his approval.

[[folder:James Tazaki]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tazaki02.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/MamoruMiyano (Japanese), Creator/KaijiTang (English)

* ButtMonkey: He doesn't like boats and is claustrophobic. The rough seas in episode 3 have him tossed around and going into a panic about having to board a submarine.
* ChildHater: He doesn't like kids or want to have them - it's why he and his wife divorced - and he tends to be cool at best towards the child protagonists [[spoiler: but that doesn't mean he actively wants them harmed.]]
* HazyFeelTurn: [[spoiler:Turns to the good side... Sort of, if only to save his own skin. It helps him survive unlike his partner, Emiko.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Post credits scene shows he's become the stetting's equivalent to UsefulNotes/SteveJobs, dressing similarly and releasing a smartphone almost identical to the original iPhone.
* PragmaticVillainy: When the chips are down... [[spoiler:he'd very much like a way to reach the Moon. However... it's a bit ambiguous about whether he was bluffing so Emiko's men wouldn't kill him or genuinely wanted to go along with the destruction of humanity and then realized he didn't have a guaranteed place among the chosen survivors. In the final episode, he thinks it's hopeless to try to heal Gamera and tries to walk away until one of the kids appeals to his sense of self-preservation, saying the Eustace Organization will have him killed.]]
* ResignationsNotAccepted: He tries to leave the organization halfway through the series but is swayed by Emiko asking if he's running away, and later saying that they need him. [[spoiler:The kids convince him to not run away and help him in the last episode by asking him if he thinks the Eustace Organization won't hunt him down later, to which Tazaki's decision to stay answers that they would.]]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Attempts to pull this numerous times but aircraft either gets destroyed or even shot out of the sky.

[[folder:Emiko Melchiorri '''(SPOILERS)''']]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emiko02.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/SaoriHayami (Japanese), Creator/SuzieYeung (English)

* AdmiringTheAbomination: She gushes over Viras in the final few episodes, even as it rampages and devours her staff, and even when about to be eaten by a baby Gyaos she can only express awe towards it.
* BigBadFriend: Emiko is initially kind towards the children for the first four episodes, befriending Junichi over the latter's insecurity regarding her friendship with the boys. The fifth episode reveals that this was all in order to lull them into a sense of false security, as all along she was planning on feeding them to Viras and using it to wipe out most of humanity. She offers to spare Junichi on account of their "friendship", but when Junichi refuses Emiko coldly orders her to be killed as well.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She only pretended to be friends with the kids in order to have them be fed to Viras in order to control it, making it clear that everyone other than herself is disposable.
* DragonInChief: Subverted. She is the one running the Foundation on Earth, ostensibly taking commands from the Board, who are mostly [[OrcusOnHisThrone relegated to their moon base and inactive throughout the show]]. However, she plans on killing and usurping the board for her own ambitions, being a more personable antagonist towards the leads with her betrayal, and comes close to succeeding in her goals... but she is defeated and killed at the start of the finale, leaving the Board as the sole human antagonists for the final episode.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When she calls her aunt to gloat about her impending victory, Emiko flies into a rage when her aunt brings up her mother--accusing her aunt of having usurped leadership of the Melchiorri family by murdering her sister.
* EvilAllAlong: Over the first four episodes, Emiko is friendly towards the children, going out of her way to support them even when other adults won't give them the time of day, and befriending Junichi... and then Episode 5 reveals she's not only in on the Foundation's plan to cause humanity's extinction using the Kaiju--the only reason she kept them safe and pretended to befriend them being to sacrifice them to Viras--but plans to pull a TheStarscream on the board of directors, especially her aunt. Though she does at least offer to spare Junichi on account of their "friendship", when Junichi refuses she coldly consigns her to death as well.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She thinks that because Junichi is smart and they're "friends", the girl will leave the boys and everyone else she knows behind to be eaten by kaiju, and seems a little hurt when Junichi refuses.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Twice. When she sees the flaming carcass of Viras hurtling towards her from the upper atmosphere like a meteorite, she snarks how the kaiju is so loyal that it's returning to them, before [[{{Understatement}} calmly brushing it off as a "nuisance"]]. She barely survives the explosive impact, although she's badly injured and devoured by a baby Gyaos shortly after. Right as the Gyaos is about to pounce, Emiko muses how its ugly face reminds her of Aunt Nora.
* FriendlessBackground: She alludes to this and is quite happy when Junichi offers to be her friend.
* JustDesserts: She is eaten entirely by a baby Gyaos -- a fitting end considering that she'd tried to feed the kids to Viras.
* MsFanservice: While on the ship, Emiko decides to go sunbathing, causing Boco, Joe, Brody, and even Junichi to stare at her in awkward fascination.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: All that's left of her is her ring, which the S-Gyaos burps up while consuming Viras' corpse.
* SayMyName: She screams Gamera's name after he kills Viras, thus ruining her plans/agenda.
* TheStarscream: She hates her aunt for having murdered her mother to seize control of the family, and plans to do the same to her and the heads by starving them out of their moon base.
* VillainousBreakdown: She loses her cool when Gamera kills Viras, foiling her plans to overthrow her aunt and the rest of the foundation heads.
* WalkingSpoiler: Her kind personality hides she is willing to feed the children to a kaiju and use it to cull the Earth's population.

!!The Eustace Foundation '''(SPOILERS)'''
[[folder:In general]]

* AncientConspiracy: The Kaiju are actually part of a 100,000-year-old plot by the Eustace Foundation as a means of "purifying" the Earth of the majority of humanity. This also doubles as a CorporateConspiracy as the Eustace Foundation is a huge corporation that's (publicly) dedicated to researching the Kaiju. It's implied that 100,000 years ago, one of the Kaiju devoured a child with a "minus code" that caused them to lose control of it, the subsequent rampage decimating the ancient civilization and forcing them to put the purification plan on hold.
* BigBad: They're intentionally reviving the kaiju in order to 'purify' the earth. Of them, Nora Melchiorri is the only one that is really fleshed out, though she and her partners appear to have equal power and authority in their operations. Nora's niece, Emiko, is the most active antagonist, operating on the Board's behalf, before attempting to branch out on her own; however, Emiko is killed shortly after her betrayal by a baby Gyaos, leaving her aunt and her partners as the sole antagonists in the finale.
* DidntSeeThatComing: As a contingency plan in case the S-Gyaos fell to Gamera, they programmed the S-Gyaos with an RNA virus to undo Gamera's programming to protect. In fact, when they detect an intense energy buildup, they assume the purification has begun, and die ''completely unaware'' that Gamera not only resisted the reprogramming, but fired an energy beam ''all the way to their base on the Moon''.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: They attempted to establish a new world order 100,000 years ago by creating kaiju to exterminate most of humanity. Instead, the kaiju turned on them and annihilated their civilization.
* KarmicDeath: Attempted to reprogram Gamera to destroy humanity for them, but instead become the only humans in ''Rebirth'' that Gamera kills directly when he breaks free of their control.
* SoftSpokenSadist: All of them.
* WouldHurtAChild: Designed the kaiju to target children as when they eat children with a specific 'code,' they fall under the Foundation's control.
