* CardSharp: As a mahjong player, he is average at best. But as a con man, he is second to none. When his friends are struggling to win a high-stakes game, he is the one they call on to even the odds - not for his skills at the game, but for his skills at ''cheating'' at the game.

* Cloudcuckoolander: Only for the first few chapters, though. He invites Hiroyuki to live with him while he's at University but then pisses Hiroyuki off by giving away everything Hiroyuki owns to people Ten thinks need them more. He also takes and blows a million yen that belongs to Hiroyuki on fireworks, finally driving Hiroyuki to leave. By the time they meet each other again over a high-stakes mahjong game, the manga's tone is much more serious and Ten's ditched his comedic weirdo vibes.

[[folder:Main characters]]
!!Takashi Ten
Ten is a friendly guy who happens to be good at TabletopGame/{{mahjong}}; or to be more precise, [[CardSharp cheating]] at it. He's often hired to turn the tables around in the client's favour. If he gets caught, he lets his opponents beat him, because he knows how frustrating it is to lose. In the yakuza gamble, he joins the east side.

* ScarsAreForever: He got them from letting his opponents beat him up after being caught cheating.
!!Hiroyuki Igawa
A youth who becomes Ten's friend after a gamble early on. Unlike Ten he has a natural talent for mahjong, but doesn't like taking risks. Occasionally serves as the series' [[{{Narrator}} narrator]].
* AdventureRebuff
* AlwaysSecondBest: He becomes pretty miserable through most of the series because he considers himself inferior to Ten and Akagi.
* CharacterDevelopment
* TheLancer: To Ten.
* {{Narrator}}
!!Shigeru Akagi
An enigmatic man and a legendary mahjong player. Akagi has his [[Manga/{{Akagi}} own prequel series]], which you are [[MorePopularSpinoff probably more familiar with than this]].

!!Ken
A friend of Hiroyuki's. He plays for the East side in a {{Yakuza}} gamble.
* CoolShades
* TheIdiotFromOsaka: To a certain extent. He's young, brash and enthusiastic, even directly challenging Harada- who, despite also being from Osaka, is a much cooler, calmer character and thus accordingly loses his accent as the series progresses.

The head priest of a mahjong temple. He joins the East side.
* BaldOfAwesome
* DirtyOldMonk: Priests are generally not involved in gambling between Yakuza gangs after all. He was also in Hawaii picking up chicks for some time along with several other characters, and takes a piece of [[spoiler:Akagi's grave]] hoping it will bring him luck.
