A nameless hero who managed to be at the right place at the right time, causing him to be involved in the story's conflict.
* Badass: Is definitely one of the, if not, the biggest badass in the game. Some paths in the story have him just walk to the Magistrate and openly telling the guards he is there to kill the Chief Minister.
* BadassInDistress: Becomes this in the path towards the golden ending, as he is left to the whims of the torture happy Kinugawa sisters.
* FeaturelessProtagonist
* HeirToTheDojo: Parodied. The ronin can simply get his own dojo because the original owner is too lazy to run it himself.
* IdiotHero: Some dialogue options seem to go in this direction. For example, when confronting a murderer who massacred the parents of a little girl, the ronin can angrily say the murder should apologize to the girl.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Is fully able master radically different weapons and styles, including:
** BareFistedMonk
** BladeOnAStick
** KatanasAreJustBetter: Which is completely to be expected from a Samurai game. However, some western swords can be acquired, but fall under the same skillset as katanas. DualWielding is also available when using swords.
[[folder: The Foreigners]]
A group of representatives from the British Empire, trying to establish relations with Japan.
!! Laura Rita
The British ambassador. Laura is a very sweet girl who bears no ill will to anyone.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Laura is the nicest character in the whole game, who really wants the best for anyone. In a world where all conflicts are resolved with drawing a sword, she always tries to take the peaceful route. Even when[[spoiler: her friend Count J.J. is murdered]] by Prajna's, she decides against vengeance and instead initiates peace talks with them.

* VagueAge: She looks barely fourteen and is also much smaller than the rest of the cast, but given her position of power, she should be much older.
!! Count Jet Jenkins/J.J.
A British count who is chronically bored and therefore tries to find ways to amuse himself.
* ArtificialLimbs: One of his hands is replaced with a metal one. He somehow lost his original hand on gambling.
* AlliterativeName: Jet Jenkins.
* ChallengeSeeker: Kind of. He likes to find situations that excite him, which include fighting, looking at fights, gambling [[spoiler: or making sushi in the hidden path]]
* FunnyForeigner: Shows signs of this throughout the game. This comes full circle in the hidden path when all the requirements for the GoldenEnding are met, as he [[spoiler: becomes obsessed with sushi, becoming an apprentice to the local sushi chef.]]
* MeaningfulName: The Jenkins part is probably a reference to LeeroyJenkins, as he tends to rush into battle without thinking things through.

The golden armored commander of the British navy stationed in Amihama.
* TwentyFourHourArmor: Is never seen without her trademark golden suit of armor.

The chief magistrate of Amihama. Kotobuki is essentially a good man, but lets his devotion to his duty as a samurai cloud his judgment, frequently pitting him against the player.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: His most defined character trait and his biggest flaw. He is a really well meaning man, but his duty as a samurai forces him to follow orders to the letter. Even when his superior, the BigBad Chief Minister Kinugawa, does very cruel things to his subjects, Kotobuki is unable to defy the man. [[spoiler: He does find the guts to defy his superiors near the ending of the hidden path, as he can't stand by and watch how Laura gets slowly executed.]]

The three daughters of Chief Minister Kinugawa, consisting of Mayu, Chika and Yuri. They really have a thing for torturing prisoners.

* DaddysLittleVillain: Are just as cruel and inhuman as their father is.
* SpoiledBrat: When the nameless ronin defeats them in public at the start of the hidden path, their first response is to summon their father to punish the ronin.

The chief minister of the Shogunate. While he tries to come over as polite, his wicked an cruel nature quickly shows.
* BigBad: He is, along with his daughters, the only truly evil character in the game.
* EvilLaugh: Really seems to have an obsession with this trope, as he is frequently seen laughing evilly while inflicting cruelty.

* HeirToTheDojo: Parodied. The ronin can simply get his own dojo because the original owner is too lazy to run it himself.
* IdiotHero: Some dialogue options seem to go in this direction. For example, when confronting a murderer who massacred the parents of a little girl, the ronin can angrily say the murder should apologize to the girl.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Is fully able master radically different weapons and styles, including:
** BareFistedMonk
** BladeOnAStick
** KatanasAreJustBetter: Which is completely to be expected from a Samurai game. However, some western swords can be acquired, but fall under the same skillset as katanas. DualWielding is also available when using swords.
[[folder: The Foreigners]]
A group of representatives from the British Empire, trying to establish relations with Japan.
!! Laura Rita
The British ambassador. Laura is a very sweet girl who bears no ill will to anyone.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Laura is the nicest character in the whole game, who really wants the best for anyone. In a world where all conflicts are resolved with drawing a sword, she always tries to take the peaceful route. Even when[[spoiler: her friend Count J.J. is murdered]] by Prajna's, she decides against vengeance and instead initiates peace talks with them.
* NiceGirl: She never utters one ill world to other people, even when they fully intent to harm her.
* VagueAge: She looks barely fourteen and is also much smaller than the rest of the cast, but given her position of power, she should be much older.
!! Count Jet Jenkins/J.J.
A British count who is chronically bored and therefore tries to find ways to amuse himself.
* ArtificialLimbs: One of his hands is replaced with a metal one. He somehow lost his original hand on gambling.
* AlliterativeName: Jet Jenkins.
* ChallengeSeeker: Kind of. He likes to find situations that excite him, which include fighting, looking at fights, gambling [[spoiler: or making sushi in the hidden path]]
* FunnyForeigner: Shows signs of this throughout the game. This comes full circle in the hidden path when all the requirements for the GoldenEnding are met, as he [[spoiler: becomes obsessed with sushi, becoming an apprentice to the local sushi chef.]]
* MeaningfulName: The Jenkins part is probably a reference to LeeroyJenkins, as he tends to rush into battle without thinking things through.
!! Melinda de Cameron/Melinda Megamelons
The golden armored commander of the British navy stationed in Amihama.
* TwentyFourHourArmor: Is never seen without her trademark golden suit of armor.
* MeaningfulName: Her original Japanese name can be interpreted as dekamelon, which can be translated as huge melons. Her name in the English version is rather crudely translated to Megamelons. The rest can be figured out yourself...
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When three British Marines were harassing a local restaurant owner, she intervenes and properly apologizes, while forbidding any excursions for the transgressing marines.
* RedBaron: Is called the Demon Commander among her own men.

[[folder: The Prajna movement]]
A group of xenophobic nationalists who want nothing more than to prevent western culture flowing into Japan, as they are afraid the British plan to take over their country.
!! Reddo Akagi
The leader of the Prajna movement.
* BFS: Most swords in the game are held at the waist. Akagi's sword is so big, he holds it at his back.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Genuinely believes the British to be conquerors, while he runs LaResistance.
!! Jinrai Kogure
Akagi's closest friend and second in command to the Prajna's
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: Is the first character doing so in the hidden path when the right choices are made. And quite humorously too.]]
* TheQuietOne: Does not speak much and rather lets his sword do the speaking for him.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Shogunate]]
The Japanese government, who want nothing more than to maintain order in these changing times.
!! Hikaru Kotobuki
The chief magistrate of Amihama. Kotobuki is essentially a good man, but lets his devotion to his duty as a samurai cloud his judgment, frequently pitting him against the player.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: His most defined character trait and his biggest flaw. He is a really well meaning man, but his duty as a samurai forces him to follow orders to the letter. Even when his superior, the BigBad Chief Minister Kinugawa, does very cruel things to his subjects, Kotobuki is unable to defy the man. [[spoiler: He does find the guts to defy his superiors near the ending of the hidden path, as he can't stand by and watch how Laura gets slowly executed.]]
!! Shigeru Moro
A magistrate who always acts with the better interests of his country. He may not look like much, but certainly pulls through when needed. As one of his enemies describe him: "He may look like he is half asleep, but still packs quite a punch."
* BarefistedMonk: His preferred fighting style.
* NiceGuy: One of the more likable characters in the game. Like Laura, he never bears ill will to anyone, but unlike her, he does employ violence when the need arises. But only as a last resort.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Pulls this [[spoiler: during the ending of the Shogunate faction path, when he can't stand for Kinugawa's cruelty. You can choose to follow him or fight against him.]]
!! Kinugawa Sisters
The three daughters of Chief Minister Kinugawa, consisting of Mayu, Chika and Yuri. They really have a thing for torturing prisoners.
* ColdBloodedTorture: What they like to inflict upon people. Whenever you get arrested by a guard, you have to face a torture minigame hosted by one of the three sisters.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Are just as cruel and inhuman as their father is.
* SpoiledBrat: When the nameless ronin defeats them in public at the start of the hidden path, their first response is to summon their father to punish the ronin.
!! Chief Minister Onsen Kinugawa
The chief minister of the Shogunate. While he tries to come over as polite, his wicked an cruel nature quickly shows.
* BigBad: He is, along with his daughters, the only truly evil character in the game.
* EvilLaugh: Really seems to have an obsession with this trope, as he is frequently seen laughing evilly while inflicting cruelty.
* KarmaHoudini: Almost all of the endings have him either get away with his crimes, while the ronin is powerless to stop him, or even managing to kill the ronin. Only the hidden GoldenEnding has him getting what he deserves.
* VillainousBreakdown: Gets this in the hidden ending, as he can't stand seeing his plans get foiled by the nameless ronin.
