14	* AmazonChaser: Develops feelings for Kuranosuke and Yasubee, two of the strongest Ako Ronin.
15	* AntiHero: He doesn't have noble goals per se, instead helping the ronin carrying out their plan of assassination and later deserting the Ako ronin altogether in Chikara's route.
16	* BigGood: [[spoiler:On the final route, he essentially controls every action of the ronin and coordinate them to victory, with some help from his ally Ichigaku.]]
17	* CharacterDevelopment: The many experiences he underwent while being trapped in the Genroku Era forced him to be a better and more proactive person, having grown attached to his newfound family and his many friends.
18	* ChickMagnet: By the end of the story, he had a romance with no more than four different ladies across the routes. Other characters also showed interest in him such as his adopted sister Sayo, Yasubee's aide Shinroku, [[spoiler:Kira's retainer Ichigaku as Kosa Kazumi, the vagrant Shinpachi,]] [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Kazuemon.]]
19	* CombatPragmatist: Starting from Chikara's route, he begins to use sneaky and unortodox tactics to fight opponents stronger than him.

23	* LoserProtagonist: At the very beginning of the game, he's shown to be very lazy and unwilling to go out with his few friends, but he's far from asocial.
24	* TheMovieBuff: Downplayed. He's not a cinephile, but he watched a lot of {{Jidaigeki}} and it gave him sizeable knowledge about the 47 Ronin.
25	* MyGreatestFailure: The reason he stopped kendo altogether and refuses to kills his enemies is because [[spoiler:he accidentally sent one of his fellow kendoka in the hospital out of rage, putting her in a deep coma.]]
26	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: His policy to never kill anyone bites him back when [[spoiler:Saruhashi kills him at the end of Kuranosuke's route, and his hesitation to kill [[BigBad Kaguya]] at the end of the game allows her to transform into her final form, forcing him to kill her.]]

42	-->'''Voiced by:''' Hatsumi Takada
43	The head chamberlain of the Harima Province and part of the former Ako domain, making her the second most powerful person behind Takumi-no-Kami. As such, she manages its economy and day to day running, but she largely shirks this responsability to enjoy her personal hobbies and her ability to govern is often questioned by the other retainers. She also has a surprisingly childish personality to the point her daughter Matsunojou has to take care of her, and it eventually earned her the nickname "Daylight Lantern", due to her perceived uselessness.
44	\
45	After the loss of the Ako Domain, most of the ronin joined her in the hopes of fighting back against the shogunate and getting revenge on Kira, becoming the leader of the ronin in the process. However, unlike the majority, she prefers to step down and instead attempts to restore the domain through negociations and patience, causing the ronin to split into different factions.
46	----
47	* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: She has a child who is already a young adult, yet she looks like her older sister instead.
48	* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Downplayed. She still acts childish at work and it causes some of the ronin to think of her as a nuisance, but she will immediately drop the act if things become serious.
49	* BigGood: For the first three routes, she's the main spearhead of the good guys and leads all of the ronin by herself.
50	* TheChessmaster: Many of the ronin's successes come from her ability to always think ahead of her enemies and sometimes her own allies. One of the few major examples is when she accepts to joins the Edo Radicals in order to control them from above.
51	* TheLeader: To the pacifists, and later the Ako Ronin as a whole after reuniting the other factions under her command.
52	* XanatosGambit: During the first confrontation with Yasubee, a duel is requested to decide whether Kuranosuke joins the plot to assassinate Kira or force Yasubee to step down. Regardless of who wins, it benefits Kuranosuke since losing the match would mean she would take control of the radicals from the inside.

59	-->'''Voiced by:''' Jun Miruno
60	The beloved daughter of Kuranosuke, who often has to remind her mother of her duties because of her childish personality. Because of that, she tries a little too hard to become a great samurai herself to inherit her mother's place, but she's often scolded for being immature and impatient.
61	----
62	* LoveAtFirstSight: Falls in love with Suguha in mere seconds after he saved her from rabid wolves.
63	* NaiveNewcomer: She starts as a very amateurish samurai with next to no skills in swordsmanship, and spends half of the game training under Suguha and Kuranosuke. It's also the main reason why the latter refuses to let her join the assassination plot.

72	\
73	She enjoys challenging strong foes in sword fights and is rather rash, becoming one of the most powerful assets of the Ako Ronin in their plan to kill Kira, but she has a hard time getting along with Yasubee, the only warrior rivalling her strength.
74	----
75	* TheBigGuy: Courtesy of acting like a beast in battle and towering over most of the other ronin.
76	* CombatPragmatist: Uses an unorthodox fighting style and is not above using her environment to gain the upper hand in a fight.
77	* {{Foil}}: With Yasubee. She stands out as one of the most powerful Ako Ronin along with her, but she has a very rough personality and lacks common sense.

87	----
88	* BodyguardingABadass: She's the bodyguard of Kuranosuke, the strongest of the Ako Ronin.

103	* DramaPreservingHandicap: After injuring her left arm, she's left unable to fight for a few weeks and thus delaying the revenge plot.
104	* HonorBeforeReason: Easily the most honor-driven character of the story. After witnessing the death of her lord before her very eyes, she has made her goal to kill Kira no matter the cost, creating her own faction of radicals in Edo and plotting to assassinate him and avenge her master.
105	* TheLeader: To the Edo Radicals.
106	* WorfHadTheFlu: She loses her second fight against Kazuemon, due to the trauma she caused to her cousin Oume and weakening her will to fight.

113	A former samurai of the Ako Domain living in Edo, who has a strong admiration for Yasubee. After the death of Asano, she quickly joined the Edo Radicals and began their second-in-command, tasked to collect information regarding Kira.

127	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's mysteriously missing from the Edo Radicals near the end of 1702, with no explanation given to the rest of the Ronin.

285	Suguha's older sister, who regularly practices Kendo in her club and act as a teacher to younger trainees. A huge {{Tomboy}} at heart, she has a bright and masculine personality, but she regularly treats her brother like a slave due to his passive personality at the beginning of the story. She also claims to be a history nerd, but seems to being already bored of the Sengoku Jidai, seeking new stories to discover.
286	----
287	* ActionGirl: Downplayed. Being a modern Japanese citizen in all aspects, she's not a fighter but she's pretty good at kendo, and trains younger people under her wing with surprisingly good lessons.
288	* BigBrotherAttraction: Implied to be the case, when Suguha confronts her about why she treats him like a slave, she answers in a very quiet tone, saying he's the only man she trusts more than anyone.

295	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4758_1828924751.png]]
296	The latest representative of the Kira Clan, who's said to be the direct descendants of the Seiwa Genji bloodline. Due to the clan's prestige, all of its members are given the role of Master of Ceremonies (Koke). Managing the official meetings between the Imperial family and the Shogunate from a young age, he nonetheless takes his role seriously and kept his position for several decades, earning a reputation as an honorable man. He also has ties with the Uesugi Clan through his son's marriage.
297	\
298	However, he becomes the unfortunate victim of a plot destined to get rid of Asano Takumi-no-Kami, and gets cursed by Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, the Shogun's right hand, causing him to become uncharacteristically selfish and corrupted in her presence. Eventually, he unwillingly causes a series of event that would be known as the Ako Incident, with its Ronin attempting to kill him no matter what.
299	----
300	* {{Curse}}: At the very beginning of the story, he's cursed by the Shogunate's higher-ups to become their puppet in their plot to gain more power for themselves.
301	* DiscOneFinalBoss: In Chikara's route, he turns out to be a body double with a more powerful curse than the original, meaning he's only a step for Suguha, who later needs to find the whereabouts of the original.
302	* FinalBoss: Of Kuranosuke's route in his cursed form.
303	* MinorMajorCharacter: He has one of the most powerful status of feudal Japan, but his role in the story is fairly minimal, only appearing at the beginning of the game and at the end of each route.
304	* TheUnfought: In Emoshichi's route, the body double goes down without a fight thanks to Kazumi's wits and after threatening Ogyū Sorai to help the ronin.
305	* ZeroEffortBoss: He's the last enemy fought in Chikara's route, but lacking the powerful curse of his body double, Suguha kills him in one stroke.

312	-->'''Voiced by:''' Sahomi Koyama
313	A vassal of the Kira Clan, who dutifully worked for them for years. Suspicious of the fact that her lord's personality suddenly changed, she nonetheless continue to follow him no matter what. In battle, she wields two swords, using a rather complex fighting style who allows her to take on two opponents at once. Because she has honed herself through violence and cruelty but has a calm demeanor, her character is difficult to gauge, but she's certainly the most dangerous enemy the Ako Ronin could ever face.
314	\
315	In the fourth route, her body and mind are taken over by her descendant from the modern world, '''Kousa Kazumi''', whose goal is to protect Kira more actively and ruin the 47 Ronin reputation, and quickly antagonizes Suguha because of their opposing views on history.
316	----
317	* AffablyEvil: Despite her reputation and scary looks, she's actually polite and affable to her enemies as long as they don't attack her.
318	* AntiHero: By Emoshichi's route, she eventually realizes that Asano and the 47 Ronin weren't at fault, and becomes an unlikely ally to Suguha, helping him behind the scenes to find out the true mastermind the Ako Incident.
319	* AntiVillain: As herself, she's merely a PunchClockVillain who only opposes the Ako Ronin out of duty for her lord, and (rightfully) thinks the whole incident to be made up by a third party. As Kazumi, she wants to repair her ancestor's reputation, tarnished by the numerous fictional accounts of the ''[=ChuShinGura=]'' depicting him as a full-blown villain while painting the Ronin as perfect heroes.
320	* AxCrazy: Gets cursed by Ogyū Sorai in Yasubee's route, turning her into a psychotic warrior who gets off on killing people related to the Ako Ronin, unlike her more reserved self.
321	* TheDragon: To Kouzuke-no-Suke, acting as his most powerful bodyguard.
322	* DualWielding: She uses the Nitoryu school style, involving the usage of two swords to fight, making her a very dangerous opponent.
323	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Under the curse in Yasubee's route, she swiftly defeats Shinroku and attempts to have her way with her before Suguha and Yasubee's arrival.
324	* HeelFaceTurn: Near the end of her route, she turns a new leaf and helps Suguha to save the ronin from their seppuku.
325	* IdenticalGrandson: Kazumi is a perfect copy of her ancestor Ichigaku.
326	* MysteriousBacker: Becomes this following her HeelFaceTurn, but she leaves most of the work to Suguha, instead acting as his backup from the sidelines, hiding from Kaguya.
327	* SexFaceTurn: Invoked by Kazumi. Feeling guilty about Ohatsu's death in her route, she goes out of her way to provoke a depressed Suguha and tempt him into having sex with her, feeling it was what she deserves. After the act, both of them make amends with each other and start working together to stop Kaguya.
328	* PunchClockVillain: As a vassal of the Kira Clan, she doesn't have much choice but to oppose the Ako Ronin who want to take her master's head.
329	* TheTease: Both Ichigaku and Kazumi really like to tease poor Suguha, espcially Kazumi in ''Bushi no Kodou''.

337	The representative of the Uesugi Clan, which has strong ties with the Kira clan due to Kouzuke-no-Suke's son being married to them.
338	----
339	* AntiVillain: She doesn't directly oppose the Ako Ronins' plot to kill Kouzuke-no-Suke, unwilling to be an enemy of the Tokugawa Shogunate. She makes a single exception to this rule in Yasubee's route, where Ogyū Sorai asks her to deal with the Edo Radicals.
340	* CavalryRefusal: With the exception of Yasubee's route, she doesn't intervene when the Ako Ronin start their plot. Justfied since the Shogunate threatened her to revoke her status should she help the Kira Clan.
341	* PragmaticVillainy: While she's technically working for the Kira Clan, she doesn't actively work towards protecting their lord despite their alliance, not wanting to put the Uesugi's reputation at stake.

349	* CurbStompBattle: All of her fights ends with her defeat, since she's an assassin unfit for duels. She only manages to kill Suguha once, by stabbing him InTheBack while he was distracted.
350	* FairPlayVillain: Upon meeting Suguha, she thinks he's no big deal and starts underestimating him, leading to her swift defeat.
351	* StarterVillain: She's the very first enemy fought by Suguha.

She's later revealed to be a vassal of the Uesugi Clan on the run, who regularly disobeys orders to go on improvised trips and one of their strongest assets. She's never seen without her Odachi, a long sword which she can manipulate with ease despite its size.

362	* AttackHello: Greets Suguha by attempting to ''murder him'' because he gave her a weird look.
363	* AxCrazy: She has no qualms about killing people on a whim if she's slightly bothered by them.
364	* {{BFS}}: The only character to use an Odachi in the story, and she's crazy good with it.
365	* BloodKnight: She thrives on battles against strong opponents, and Suguha defeating her is one of the reasons she follows him.
366	* IAmNotLeftHanded: Usually fights one-handed with her Odachi, but if things gets serious, she'll use both hands. [[OhCrap Oh, and she can use her other eye, too.]]
367	* LivingWithTheVillain: During Suguha's elopement, they travelled together, moving accross Japan without knowing of their respective identities.
368	* LoveAtFirstPunch: Instantly falls in love with Suguha after he defeats her in their first meeting.
369	* {{Yandere}}: Her love for Suguha makes her quite affectionate, to the point of being obsessive. She also doesn't take it well after learning he also has ties with the Ako Ronin and already has Chikara as a potential LoveInterest.
