10!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuhikoInoue
11The leader (known to his teammates as "Chief") of a small group of astronauts hailing from the planet Earth, when his crew returned from a long journey only to discover that their homeworld was ruined by a nuclear war, they were abducted by a slave ship from the evil planet Galra, which is found in the great dark nebula. However, Akira and his four comrades escaped from Daibazaal's prison facilities on Galra. After being ambushed by a swarm of Galran attack ships, Akira was forced to land on the planet Altea, it was there that he and his friends were chosen to resurrect the legendary mechanical space guardian, Go Lion. At first, there were only four keys to be found, and Akira had to Pilot the Green Lion... but when the fifth key was recovered, Akira gave his lion to Shorty, and took control of the great Black Lion.

14 [[caption-width-right:350: Akira Kogane]]
15* AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu: He is of Chinese descent and the most skilled martial artist of the group. Kogane's appearance is even modeled after Hong Kong action stars of the time. His Voltron counterpart, Keith, maintains this martial arts prowess in every single incarnation.
16* ArchEnemy: To Sincline, not only for being the leader of Golion, but also because he views Kogane as an obstacle for Fala.
17* ButNotTooForeign: He had a Japanese father and Chinese mother.
18* ChasteHero: Despite being the lead, he's one of the few who doesn't have an open attraction towards Fala. Although she does have a crush on him which angers Sincline.
19* DarkIsNotEvil: He pilots the Black Lion, and is a very heroic leader.
20%%* TheHero
21* HonorBeforeReason: Downplayed, as he's usually pragmatic and clever.
22* JustFriends: With Fala.
23%%* TheLeader
24* ManlyTears: When everyone was tricked into believing Fala was dead, Kogane took it hardest as he ran out of the castle and let off a SkywardScream in despair.
25* NiceGuy: Very nice and encouraging, even one of the few who believes in Fala.
26* NotSoAboveItAll: Even Kogane is taken back when seeing Fala in her bikini
27* RedIsHeroic: Albeit in uniform, since he pilots the Black lion.
28%%* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Isamu's Red Oni.
29[[/folder]]
30
31[[folder:Takashi Shirogane]]
32!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyuseiNakao
33!!!'''Dubbed by:''' Creator/SeonghoShin (Korean)
34Akira's second-in-command, nicknamed "Quiet" because he rarely spoke. Takashi served his teammates as commander of the Blue Lion, that is until his untimely death at the hands of one of Galra's Beastmen.
35----
36* AmbiguouslyGay: Admittedly, there's not a lot to work with, but he was the only paladin that didn't show attraction to Princess Fala, even covertly (as Kogane might have done.)
37* HeroicSacrifice: Died saving Isamu from Honerva and her Beastmen.
38%%* TheLancer: In the original group (see entry).
39%%* RedOniBlueOni: Shared this with Akira.

41[[/folder]]
42
43[[folder:Isamu Kurogane]]
44!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuMizushima
45The thrill-seeking, cocky member of the party of escaped earthlings. For some reason, he earned the nickname "Moody". Apparently, he has plenty of enthusiasm to operate the Red Lion. While he may not be the best fighter in the group, battling Galra would be dull without him.
46----

48 [[caption-width-right:350:Isamu Kurogane]]

56[[/folder]]
57
58[[folder:Tsuyoshi Seido]]
59!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TesshoGenda
60
61The fourth of the five explorers, his short temper has given him the nickname "Hothead". Tsuyoshi had plenty of guts to pilot the Yellow Lion, but his weakness might be his phobia of heights (he somehow displayed that when his party was escaping their cell). While he takes great pride in battling for Altea, his biggest regret was leaving his younger sister in their war-torn homeworld.
62-----

66%%* TheBigGuy
67%%* BoisterousBruiser
68* HiddenDepths: Despite how boisterous and loud he is, he is quite softhearted and easily teary-eyed, and regrets leaving his little sister behind on their war-torn homeworld. [[spoiler:One can only imagine the pain he went through when most of humanity on Earth was wiped out, then having to witness its explosion.]]
69%%* HotBlooded
70* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has a bit of a temper and is rather rude, but generally a good and nice guy.
71* ShipTease: With Fala, being the chosen guy in a reenactment of a legendary love story.
72* UnskilledButStrong: He's physically the most capable, but doesn't have the finesse of his fellow teammates, and needs to improve his work as the Yellow Lion, something he acknowledges.
73* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is terrified of heights.
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder:Hiroshi Suzuishi]]
77!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakoNozawa
78The youngest of the five astronauts, Hiroshi, a.k.a. Shorty, has served as the quickest, and most elusive fighter of the bunch. As Sadak had sent a fleet of Galran war machines to recover the escaped prisoners, Shorty managed to scout the area, leaving the other four to command the lions. But when the missing key to the Black Lion was finally found, Akira gave the green lion to Shorty, and the five earth heroes were able to forge the creatures to become Golion.

81 [[caption-width-right:350: Hiroshi Suzuishi]]

83%%* BrainyBrunette
84%%* TheCutie

89%%* ShorterMeansSmarter: It's basically TheSmartGuy as a KidAppealCharacter.

91* TakingYouWithMe: When he believed Fala was killed, he tried to kill himself, Sincline and Honerva with a grenade.
92%%* ThoseTwoGuys: Usually with Hothead.
93* WeakButSkilled: Easily the quickest of the group, but not particularly the physically strongest. He makes up for that with his intellect and cunning.
94[[/folder]]
95
96[[folder:Princess Fala]]
97!!!'''Voiced by:''' Rumiko Ukai
98Heiress to the throne of Altea, and lone survivor of the royal family. Fifteen years ago, Daibazaal and his henchmen Honerva and Sadak, attacked Castle Altea, killing everyone in the palace save two, as the newborn Fala was taken into hiding by her father's general, Raible. And now on her sixteenth birthday, Fala had welcomed the five heroes from Earth with open arms. When Takashi was killed by Honerva, and her ferocious Beastman, it was Fala who later took the opportunity to operate the Blue Lion (even if it meant disobeying her elder's orders), leaving Isamu, of the Red Lion to take over as Lancer.

101 [[caption-width-right:350:Princess Fala]]
102* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Probably the most beautiful girl in the series. And she also happens to be one of the good guys and a pilot of Golion.
103* CoolCrown: Wears a tiara even with her jumpsuit.
104* CreatorThumbprint: Like most female characters designed by Creator/KazuoNakamura, Fala is [[BeautyEqualsGoodness very, very pretty]], an {{Ojou}}, and has long, blonde hair. She also has blue eyes and has an innocent nature.
105* DrivenToSuicide: She threatened to kill herself in order to avoid being captured by Sincline, who paused long enough for her to escape to her Lion.
106%%* DudeMagnet: Though this isn't entirely a [[VillainousCrush good]] thing...
107* DudeWheresMyRespect: The guys, Hys, and Raible occasionally undermine her or take for granted her significance as the Blue Lion. This tends to bite them in the ass.
108%%* FairytaleWeddingDress: She has one designed for her future wedding.
109* FauxActionGirl: Though she's had a couple of good scenes where she holds her own and occasionally saves the others she sometimes falls into this.
110%%* FriendToAllChildren
111%%* FriendToAllLivingThings
112* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: The guys tend to get more physical in a fight while Fala uses a gun -- though she does know Judo and has used swords.

114* InnocentBlueEyes: She's the only character with blue eyes -- and happens to be TheHeart and the first to tear up at any tragic event.
115%%* LongHairIsFeminine
116* ModestRoyalty: When not wearing her floor-length pink dress, she goes with a jumpsuit and small tiara.

118* PimpedOutDress: Her princess dress has a few frills on it.
119%%* PluckyGirl
120%%* PrincessClassic
121* PrincessesPreferPink: Her outfits in this series are pink more often than not.
122* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: After Shirogane died, she promptly decided to become Blue Lion's new pilot. Arguably justified, because she knew that without five pilots, they couldn't form Golion, and there was no telling how long it would take to find someone else to be Blue Lion's pilot.
123* SimpleYetOpulent: Her princess dress has just a few frills.
124* StayInTheKitchen: Raible and Hys try to prevent Fala from being a pilot for Golion [[spoiler: after Shirogane’s death]] as they view it to be too dangerous -- but it often does more harm than good.
125%%* TrueBlueFemininity: Her Blue Lion.
126%%* WarriorPrincess
127[[/folder]]
128
129[[folder:Raible]]
130!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yuji Fujishiro
131Once King Raimon's most trusted military strategists, now a broken old man and caretaker to the orphaned Princess Fala. Raible saw potential in the five Earth heroes when they first arrived at Castle Altea. He is a stubborn man, and wanted nothing more than the safety of the princess, even if it meant preventing her from piloting Golion. But later, he slowly began to realize how important she was in Golion's fight against evil.

135%%* CoolOldGuy
136* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: When his son Saint returns as a grown man, he explains he had to stay behind to protect Princess Fala, and Saint understands. [[spoiler:But "Saint" is really a spy of Galra, and Raible's real son perished as an infant with his mother.]]
137%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
138%%* TheMentor
139* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:If it wasn't being unable to save his wife and child, it would have to be Hys dying due to a Galra spy who faked his identity as Raible's long-dead son.]]
140%%* PapaWolf: Towards Fala.
141%%* ParentalSubstitute: To Fala.
142%%* StayInTheKitchen: Had this mindset. It often did more harm than good.

145[[folder:The Altean Mice]]
146A family of four rodents from the ruined castle. They were Platt, the father; Chuchule, the mother; and their two children. They befriended princess Fala when she was ten and would become the Golion team's trusted small allies. At first, they had stolen the Black lion's key from the king's tomb, but thanks to Fala, the mice returned it so that Golion would be reborn. They even helped the princess out of her bonds so that she could assemble the giant robot for the first time.

What's worse, Sadak was ordered to behead King Raimon, his wife, and their children. However, the Galrans were unable to destroy the king's youngest child, Fala, as she was hidden from them by Raible. Fifteen years later, Raimon aids the Golion team as a ghost. And even though he's dead, he could see his daughter's potential in operating Golion from the beginning.

165!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kazuyo Aoki
166An old woman from Altea who took refuge in Castle Gradarm. a mecha fortress built underneath the ruined Castle Altea. Hys became the new head nursemaid for the princess, and, like Raible, was acting like a real pain. The four guys from Earth didn't like her either, you might want to call her nothing but a Battle Axe.
167----
168* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Dies in Raible's arms, expressing regret that she couldn't live to see the Princess get married.]]
169%%* FemaleMisogynist: Believes the Blue Lion pilot must be a man.

Now Alor puts his trust in the Golion Team, in hopes of getting his sister back.
178----

188
189[[folder:Princess Amue]]
190The middle child and only daughter of the king of Heracles. Amue could not understand why her older brother, Prince Samson, was chosen to become a Beastman, nor why her little brother Alor saw Sincline as a hero. Princess Amue was the only one in her people to see the evil in Sincline's heart, but Sincline himself saw that Amue resembles Princess Fala of Altea. In that bitter battle on Heracles, Sincline takes Amue captive. She had been prisoner to Galra until she met someone who happened to be Takashi's kid brother.

194* BreakTheCutie: After seeing her older brother and father die, taken by Sincline and forced to be his plaything while starving has taken a toll on her.
195* CreatorThumbprint: Creator/KazuoNakamura has a thing for pretty, blue-eyed, blonde ladies that are hyperfeminine and wear a lot of pink. Amue is no exception.
196* DamselInDistress: She is this when Sincline captures her and rapes her, but thankfully she manages to escape from him.
197* MiniDressOfPower: She wears a pink one when fighting Galra castle at the end, and the dress counts more as a PimpedOutDress than her princess dress.
198* OnlySaneMan: She was the only one in her family who hated Sincline before the death of her older brother. Downplayed because when she first met Sincline, she also seemed impressed with him but by the time the Galrans came to her home planet she’d apparently come to realize that Sincline was not someone to look up to.
199* RapeAsDrama: What she had to endure as a captive of Sincline -- because she looked like Fala. [[spoiler: As revenge, Amue led an attack on the Galran's Castle near the GrandFinale]].
200* ShipTease: Briefly with Ryo. [[spoiler:But he's killed before anything could happen, hence Amue spending the rest of the series as a HeartbrokenBadass. In [[Anime/{{Voltron}} the American version]], he's spared and the two end with BabiesEverAfter]].

202* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Fala (who establishes herself as an ActionGirl piloting the Blue Lion), until [[spoiler:she helped lead an attack on Galra Castle]], showing that she's a fighter too.

212* AngstySurvivingTwin
213* BackupTwin: Due to how popular Quiet was.
214* {{Expy}}: Physical appearance wise, he's near identical to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Mine-Ippei_5909.jpg Ippei Mine]] from ''Anime/VoltesV''. Considering the other themes that Voltron lifted from ''Voltes V'', [[spoiler: such as TheReveal that Sincline is half-Altean being similar to the Go brothers finding out they're half-Boazanian this may have been intentional]].
215* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Ryo managed to kill Sincline by shoving him off the castle tower; this also cost Ryo his own life.]]
216* HotBlooded: Compared to his older brother, (who's nicknamed "Quiet") ''oh yes''.

218* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Takashi's blue.
219* ShipTease: With Amue. [[spoiler:But he dies before it can go anywhere.]]

228Sinister ruler of the Planet Galra, Daibazaal swears to conquer the great Dark Nebula. he had sent battalions of war machines, and space pirates to plunder the heavens, capturing slaves for his arena so that they were forced to battle the mighty Deathblack Beastmen. Apparently, the slaves would become food for the Galrans. Little did he count on was the five earth slaves who escaped from his clutches, and fled to Altea where they became pilots of the legendary Golion.
229----
230* BigBad: For most of the series [[spoiler:until Sincline overthrows and disposes of him]].
231* DeadHatShot: [[spoiler:Upon being killed by Golion, the only thing left that's thrown from the explosion is his crown]]

236* OrcusOnHisThrone: Spends most of the series barking orders at Sadak, Honerva, and later Sincline, but apart from an attack in the finale he doesn't bother doing anything himself.

She can also disguise her hideous form into something more human. Her pet cat, Jaga, is a feisty blue feline, with a yellow mohawk and a taste for blood. It seems to have a grudge against the Altean mice.

253* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:After Sincline caused Daibazaal to be killed by Golion, she turned against him and deliberately free Golion from the trap he had placed it in so that Golion could defeat him]].
254* NotEnoughToBury: [[spoiler:After she is killed by Sincline, her body burns away until her skeleton disentigrates into nothing]].
255* RightHandCat: Jaga serves as this, not only laying on her lap when relaxed but also jumping into battle when needed to.
256* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Most of her race has yellow eyes, but considering she's a witch, and they flash with her cat's as a possible means of communication, it's safe to assume they fit the supernatural mold.

259
260[[folder:Commander Sadak]]
261!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenichiOgata
262The Cybernetic leader of Daibazaal's many fighting forces. Sadak had been plundering the universe in search of slaves who would be forced to fight the Deathblack Beastmen. When Akira, Takashi, Isamu, Shorty, and Tsuyoshi had escaped to Altea, Sadak led a platoon of war machines to tear the planet apart.

275Wicked son of Emperor Daibazaal, Sincline returned to Galra after a long conquest of a nearby galaxy. He had pardoned the execution of Commander Sadak for his many failures and insisted that Sadak himself should go one-on-one with Golion. Now that Sadak is gone, Sincline becomes the new head of Galra's fighting forces. He developed a forbidden obsession for Princess Fala, probably because of her resemblance to his late mother. And when he couldn't have Fala, he takes Princess Amue hostage. While Sincline served his father, he secretly seeks to overthrow the emperor... thus becoming the new king of evil.
276----
277* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: He constantly tries to get Fala in this situation, from threatening to destroy Altea to outright kidnapping her.

282* CorruptedCharacterCopy: In many ways, Sincline invokes classical TheHeavy NobleDemon in mecha shows popularised by Anime/RobotRomanceTrilogy. Like the archetype, he is initially presented as a more active and honorable enemy compared to his EvilOverlord father, [[spoiler: with a dark secret that seems destined to turn him against Daibazaal if it ever gets out. However, Sincline ultimately shows that any honor he claims to have is fake and is revealed to be just as depraved as his father. While he does turn against his father, it is done out of sheer ambition and when he does learn secret of his parentage, it only breaks what little sanity he has left as he claims the mantle of FinalBoss.]]

290* IncestSubtext: [[spoiler:It's suggested his attraction to Fala is due to her similarity to his mother, who was murdered by Daibazaal. As is possibly the fact with his slaves and Amue.]]
291* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:While his killing of Daibazaal was entirely for selfish reasons and he himself is no better than his old man, its hard to feel bad for the former Galra Emperor considering all the atrocities he had done and the things he put Sincline through.]]
