!!!'''Toppa Bashin'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bashin1_7504.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/MutsumiTamura


The protagonist. A huge Battle Spirits enthusiast with a straightforward personality. He’s always cheerful and friendly. [[spoiler: His father left him at a young age, which left him rather shy, but after being introduced to Battle Spirits, he was able to open up.]] He prefers the red attribute.

* AscendedFanboy: To J. He ends up getting to hang with J, when he becomes a chosen card battler as well.
* BigEater: Eating doesn't come up constantly with him, but he'll shovel down food if put in front of him.
* TheDeterminator: What were you expecting? He's a shounen protagonist.
* DisappearedDad: His father left when he was very young.
* HeroProtagonist: He is the main character, leader of Team Shomen Toppa, and the one to [[spoiler: ultimately save the world.]]
* HotBlooded: Along with everyone else in the show, but especially him.
* IdiotHero: The idiot part is taken to painful levels, but it usually results in a funny moment.
* {{Keet}}: He is a never-ending fountain of energy and loudness. Not particularly feminine in the anime version, but in the manga, he crossdresses as a nurse.
* LastNameBasis: It's rare for anyone but his mother to use his first name, and even she calls him Bashin at times.
* MagneticHero: Everyone is drawn to him.
* ObliviousToLove: Poor Meganeko. There's no indication he's ever figured out why she likes to hang out with him all the time.
* PlayingWithFire: He uses red, which has a fire theme to it.
* ShonenHair: It's spiked up like crazy. Apparently he does nothing to it and just wears it the way he wakes up.
* StockShonenHero: A HotBlooded [[MagneticHero Magnetic]] IdiotHero with bright [[RedIsHeroic red]] ShonenHair, it's like his creator used a checklist for the trope.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To his father. Touha has a darker shade of hair, but the basic style is the same,

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/j1_1571.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Kaya Miyake


Bashin’s rival. Somewhat cold and distant, and takes Battle Spirits from an almost studious perspective. He was the world champion for two years in a row, despite only being an elementary schooler, and thus became very famous. [[spoiler: In order to be accepted by his father, he later joins Thousand Spirits Group, hoping to at least be able to serve as a knight to him.]] He prefers the white attribute.

* AllEncompassingMantle: His cape.
* AloofBigBrother: He obviously does care about Kyouka, as well as Bashin. But [[spoiler: his personal agenda forces him to distance himself.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: To Kyouka. He's protective of her enough to [[spoiler: flip out when he thought Bashin sent a romantic card to her.]]
* ButNotTooForeign: He's half Finnish.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Male example. Bashin has a very good influence on him, and he noticibly becomes much friendlier as the show goes on.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Aside from his large amount of female fangirls, Smile basically stalks him and acts possessive of him, and Commentator-san's fixation on him is kinda creepy.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler: He wears a black cape as Jack Knight]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: He betrays Bashin and the others by joining Numbers Elite as Jack Knight. This is only temporary, and partly a means to gather information. He later makes a HeelFaceTurn]]
* LonelyRichKid: [[spoiler:He wasn't on good terms with either parent at the start of the series]] and didn't seem to have any friends before meeting Bashin either.
* TheRival: Of Bashin. Though J is rather annoyed with Bashin at first, he comes to genuinely enjoy having Bashin as a strong opponent.
* RivalTurnedEvil: [[spoiler: Temporarily becomes a part of Numbers Elite.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: [[spoiler: If his father would've just spent more time with the family, it probably would've saved him a lot of angst and his FaceHeelTurn.]]
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: [[spoiler: He becomes an enemy for a while.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/striker1_8799.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Ryousuke Sakamaki


A soccer player with a very distinctive haircut, who attends the same school as Bashin. He has four younger brothers, and ultimately learns Battle Spirits in order to be a hero to them. His strength is his loyalty to his friends. He prefers the green attribute.

* ImprobableHairStyle: Aside from his father, has quite possibly the weirdest in the series.
* MeaningfulName: Actually his nickname, but everyone calls him that to the point that his real name is hardly mentioned.
* ShipTease: Mainly with Suiren, whom he is given BelligerentSexualTension with. He also [[LovesMyAlterEgo loves her alter ego and is torn by the contrast.]] He gets a little with Kyouka too, whom he’s shown to have a crush on.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To his father

!!!'''Suiren/My Sunshine'''

->Voiced by: Creator/AyahiTakagaki

A popular idol who disguises herself as a masked card battler in order to play Battle Spirits. As Suiren, she has somewhat of a domineering personality, whereas My Sunshine is girly and sweet. She prefers the purple attribute.

* ActionGirl: Though she has the misfortune of losing in her debut match, she proves to be one early on when she defeats both Striker and Bashin to win a tournament, becoming the main rival to the former. She is consistently shown to be just as good as her male teammates. She should really be an example for other female characters in this type of male-oriented action anime.
* ApologizesALot: Subverted, as it’s done in a mocking way
* CoolMask: As Suiren, she wears a mask to hide her true identity.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her attribute is purple, which is themed around demons and the occult.
* ExpressiveMask: It tends to change shape depending on her mood.
* GenkiGirl: Her My Sunshine persona. This is an act.
* HeadTurningBeauty: As My Sunshine. Everyone loves her in-universe. Usually only a problem for her if she's being stalked by the press, like the time they wanted to get pictures of her in her school uniform.
* IdolSinger: She's popular with roughly everyone of every demographic.
* IrislessEyeMaskOfMystery: See CoolMask and ExpressiveMask above.
* InTheHood: When disguised in the 4th episode.
* LonelyRichKid: Similarly to J, she didn't have any friends at the start of the series.
* SecretIdentity: She has to hide the fact that Suiren and My Sunsine are the same person.
* ShipTease: With Striker and Bashin. She seems to have a crush on both of them, who like her as My Sunshine, but not-so-much as Suiren.
* {{Shorttank}}: Her outfit fits the bill, and she can be a bit of a tomboy.
* {{Tsundere}}: Of the aloof and pessimistic variety. She's much more partial to pounding someone in Battle Spirits, than admitting she's worried about them.

!! '''Thousand Spirits Group'''

!!!'''King Uchuuchouten/[[spoiler:Touha Bashin]]'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uchuuchouten1_5740.jpg]]

The game designer of Battle Spirits (both in the anime and real life). He came from America, where he also is opening a Battle Spirits school. [[spoiler: He later quits Thousand Spirits Group, after losing a battle with Striker and coming to a realization.]]

* AffablyEvil: Aside from the fact that he's a member of Numbers Elite, he's quite a fun guy.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Perhaps the fact that his job is game designer has something to do with his weird, childish behavior. But even after [[spoiler: becoming a school principal]] as well, he's seen building card houses in his office with Battle Spirits cards.
* InformedAbility: Not only did he make the game, but he's on a team composed of the best players in the world. He's the only player (excluding some who battled only once) who never wins a single match.
* TwoFirstNames: Note that he goes by a LastNameBasis, so Elliott could easily be mistaken as his first name.
* GratuitousEnglish: He speaks quite a lot of it for a show that's in Japanese.

!!!'''S. Kiano Sawaragi/Number Three'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiano1_6153.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Hirohiko Kakegawa


J’s father. He is a rich, Finnish businessman, who designed the Battle Spirits battle system. He appears to be very distant toward J. [[spoiler: In truth, he cares about J, but becomes very upset towards him when he joins Thousand Spirits Group.]]

* AffablyEvil: He's actually a pretty nice guy, despite what he's doing with Numbers Elite.
* KnightInSourArmor: [[spoiler: Starts off this way, but he does get better.]]
* TheRival: He used to be this with [[spoiler: Bashin's father.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smile1_9817.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Kozo Mito

A card battler who defeated J during the Gunslinger round of a championship. He has a rather creepy appearance and mannerisms. [[spoiler: Smile was originally a pupil of Card Sensei. It was through this intense physical training that he grew into a harsher person. Smile came to resent Sensei for being too gentle.]] After meeting J, Smile takes an interest in him, later inviting him to join Thousand Spirits Group. He prefers the yellow attribute.

* CoatCape: He wears his jacket like this, probably as a sign of delinquency.
* TheDragon: He's the strongest and most threatening in battle of the regular Numbers.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: All he really wants by the end is to prove he and J make a better team than Bashin and J.]]
* FourIsDeath: Especially in the manga, where [[spoiler: he's the BigBad.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: And he can be just as obnoxious to the other Numbers as he is to Bashin and his friends.
* LightIsNotGood: His attribute is yellow.
* NoNameGiven: Smile probably isn't his real name
** OnlyOneName: Even if it is, he still doesn't have a last name.

->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeKishio

Bashin’s sempai in middle school, and president of the Battle Spirits club. Normally, very quiet and easily frightened, until becoming his alternate persona, Galaxy Seven, who is narcissistic and egotistical. He prefers the blue attribute.

He is modeled after Galaxy Watanabe, the card game’s mascot, though may or may not actually be the same character.

* AffablyEvil: Possibly can be completely excused from the evil part [[spoiler: because it's unclear if he even has anything to do with the other Numbers' plan.]]
* ClubPresident: Of the Battle Spirits club.
* CoolShades: As Galaxy
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He may as well be a completely different person when he becomes Galaxy.
* DemotedToExtra: Brutally, in the manga. He appears in about 4 panels, some of which as just a shadow.
* InconsistentSpelling: The proper spelling is Galaxy, as written on official cards, but in-show, it's written as Garaxy.
* {{Mascot}}: He was the first of many mascots of the TCG, before ending up animated as a character.
* SecretIdentity: Galaxy Seven. Though, even [[IdiotHero Bashin]] was easily able to figure it out.
* SevenIsNana: His name is Nanao.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/masako1_5733.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/MichikoNeya

The sole female member of Numbers Elite. Somewhat proud, as well as careless, and constantly gets lost. [[spoiler: She used to date Card Sensei, and they were very close. She took his betrayal of the organization personally, and remains very loyal to Thousand Spirits Group in order to not become like him. She later becomes Bashin’s music teacher, when he starts middle school.]]

* AffablyEvil: She tends to act friendly with Bashin and the others [[spoiler: even before becoming a teacher]].
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: Though it was just an act, she legitimately likes being Bashin's teacher, and stays that way in the end.]]
* CoolBigSis: Bashin seems to see her like this.
* CoolShades: Two different pairs, one reminiscent to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina’s. ]]
* DemotedToExtra: In the manga. She appears in only a few panels, and her entire subplot in the anime is cut [[spoiler: as it’s implied she and Card Sensei never broke up in this continuity, and with Bashin never going to middle school, she doesn’t need to become his new teacher.]]
* DreadfulMusician: She's tone deaf.
* MsFanservice: Clearly what they were going for, considering she wears a skin-tight Absolute Cleavage outfit.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Basically a RunningGag
* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: With Card Sensei after eventually reconciling with him.]]
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: With Card Sensei. She has a pink version of his outfit, and her eyes are pink, while his are gray-ish blue.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: The main reason Number Eight is loyal to Thousand Spirits Group, seeing how she doesn’t even agree with Nine’s plan, is pretty much out of spite for her ex-boyfriend for leaving the organization. She doesn't want to become like him.]]
* NavelDeepNeckline: Not all the time, but the outfit she wears to tournaments has a v-neckline that goes down to her stomach.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She’s the only female Number
* SunglassesAtNight: In episode 26
* {{Tsundere}}: Both with [[spoiler: Card Sensei]], whom she will [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend vehemently deny any affection towards]] and in a non-romantic example [[spoiler: her own students when she tries very hard to resist BecomingTheMask]]

The first member of Numbers Elite to challenge Bashin, who gave Siegfried to him as a reward for winning. Always well dressed, he seems very gentlemanly. [[spoiler: Separate from King Uchuuchouten, he has his own ambitions concerning the stones. He stages a coup d’état before the final tournament to carry out his plan.]] He prefers the red attribute.

* AlliterativeName: This combined with the fact that [[MeaningfulName it's also a pun]]. (Kyuu = 9)
* BadassInANiceSuit: He's a top card battler who is never seen without a suit [[spoiler:and of course he's plotting to rule the world on the side]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler: By the end of the series, it's not Numbers Elite as a whole who is the true enemy, but Number Nine himself.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler: When revealed as final boss, he switches to a blood-red suit.]]
* EvilLaugh: As he does this very early into the series, it's a good hint of his true colors.
* PlayingWithFire: He uses red
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: At the end of the series. He freaks out when he loses.]]
