8
9Our hero. Formerly the class clown, Akira now finds himself forced to lead his classmates through an island filled with deadly animals.
10----
11* AccidentalPervert: The most frequent gag is him ending up in a compromising position with a girl, and Rion dragging him off by his ear.
12* BadassNormal: Coming in ''just'' behind Yarai and Kouhei.
13* BigEater: Though it hasn't really come up since the first chapter.
14* BookDumb: Before coming to the island, Akira was generally not bright and scored low grades at schools
15* CelibateHero: Seems to be his primary reason for not acting on his feelings for Rion. They're more than a little busy.
16* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: He likes to peep on the girls, but not Rion.
17* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Rion.
18* ChivalrousPervert: Despite being called a pervert, he always acts like a good guy to the girls on the island.
19* ClassClown: Before coming to the island. Which is why pretty much everyone is shocked when they find out ''he's'' the one leading the most successful group of survivors.
20* CluelessChickMagnet: His charisma and leadership abilities have also made him the romantic target of Rion Akagami, Maya Miyauchi, Tokiwa Aya, Yuki Sakuma, Kagura Mami, Kanako Oomori, Rei Ooguro, and Kashiwagi Sanae -- all of whom consider him to be an ideal husband should they be unable to leave the island.
21* {{Determinator}}: He has a resolute and determined personality which always places his friends priority over himself and attempts to to save anyone close to him, regardless of the situation.
22* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:Chapter 183 reveals that he died of an illness when Akira was four.]]
23* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Does this to Yuki... by slapping her butt.
24* IdealHero: Might as well have it stamped on his forehead. He's not afraid to try and save everyone, including people that would consider him as an enemy. Throughout the series, whenever Akira has a plan despite the danger, he would always put himself in the front of the danger.
25* TheLeader: A mix of types III and IV. He is a capable leader, many times due to his leadership his group is able to survive with minor losses.
26* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Some of Kouhei's inner dialogue suggests that Akira is this to him.
27* MagneticHero: He's not the strongest or the smartest, but he's very good at gathering friends. Best highlighted when Akira asks for volunteers to go to the pyramid, -a mission that will take a week to get there, and where there is a potentially dangerous doctor capable of spreading a plague- everyone raises their hands.
28* TookALevelInBadass: As time on the island progress, his fighting skills have progressed to the point that he could fight evenly with Kouhei. Even able to dodge Kouichi’s blows. Due to his competence, his group is able to muster up courage and feel calm.

37* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Akira.

42* MsFanservice: Share the role with Oomori as main source of {{Fanservice}}.

51----
52* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He is very analytical and observant with a great memory, able to recall even subtle or seemingly-insignificant pieces of information
53* BadassBookworm
54* ChickMagnet: Subverted. He came in first with 6 votes during the girl's popularity contest, but it seemed that it was planned by the girls.
55* [[InfiniteFlashlight Infinite Laptop]]: He carries around a foot pedal peripheral to keep it charged.
56* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: At least until the plane crashed.
57* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rather callous, but he ultimately has the group's best interest at heart and will risk his life for the safety of his friends.
58* TheLancer: To the point where [[spoiler:Akira designates him as the leader when he leaves to explore the pyramid]].

60* MrExposition: With his laptop and database, he's the one who is usually in a position to explain everything.
61* NerdGlasses: Has large square glasses with the white brim on most of the time.
62* TheSmartGuy: Shirou more than makes up for it with his high intelligence. He is extremely knowledgeable in various fields of science, especially prehistoric creatures and extinct animals, which makes him an asset to his friends and comrades. His knowledge is not limited to just prehistory and its wildlife and fauna; he is knowledgeable in world history and historical figures, etc.
63* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: He is a guy of a short stature.
64* TeenGenius: He is highly intelligent and has been the school prodigy since elementary school.
65* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After Zaji's death]].

70
71A clumsy stewardess who Akira meets after crashing.
72----
73* BigBreastPride: She views her large breasts as her only redeemable feature since she feels she's too clumsy to be of use to anyone.
74* BuxomBeautyStandard: Most of the male characters are attracted to her large breast. Oomori herself think that Akira could be seduced with her large breasts.
75* CuteClumsyGirl: She insists that she is too clumsy to be helpful. Kanako is constantly seen tripping over throughout the series.
76* FriendToAllLivingThings: Well, the squirrel-creatures, anyway. Everything else is far too violent.
77* FurBikini: Wears one in the finale with a definite CatGirl vibe.
78* GayRomanticPhase: The reason she became a flight attendant (in spite of failing the test 16 times) was to be with her former senpai, who was her first love. She insists that it was because she went to an [[OneGenderSchool all-girls school]] and that she likes men now.
79* TheMedic: She only has basic first aid training, but that's better than everyone else.
80* MsFanservice: Share the role with Rion as main source of {{Fanservice}}.
81* SexyStewardess: She is a beauty stewardess and for nearly all the story wears her flight attendant uniform.
82* StatuesqueStunner: She is pretty tall.
83%%* TeamMom
84* TookALevelInBadass: At first she breaks down quickly and is scared to death of a small and furry animal, but later she [[spoiler:takes a stab wound from Kouhei]] and tries to write it off as nothing.

89
90A boy from class 3 who Akira's group meets on the beach.
91----
92* TheBigGuy: Not anywhere near as good a fighter as Yarai or even Akira, but definitely strong and tough.
93* ChildhoodFriends: With Maya.
94* ChivalrousPervert: Despite his perverted nature, Kazuma would never force a girl into anything they were comfortable with, showing greater moral fiber than most males in the series.
95* FriendToAllChildren: Back home he was never good with kids his age, but acted as a big brother to the neighbor kids.
96* LikesOlderWomen: Absolutely shameless about his attraction to Oomori. He constantly tries to impress or partner up with her throughout the series.
97* MissingMom: She left her family for another man.
98* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler: Due to falling off a cliff off-panel.]]
99* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Dies from internal bleeding.]]

106
107A notorious delinquent from class 4.
108----
109* TheAce: He isn't perfect, though. His leadership skills could use some work, and he refuses to take orders from someone else. However, these traits keep him from taking up the limelight too much.
110* BadassNormal: Yarai has been shown to have an unknown ferocious, massive amount of strength that he uses in a variety of ways. Aside from being able to sends humans literally flying with his kicks, he has been shown to be strong enough to rip a large claw off a Chalicotherium and also flick a coin at an Arsinoitherium with enough pressure to cause it to stop in its tracks. He is able to be able to defeat a group of animals simply by himself showing he's extremely effective in combat, being able to defeat humans and animals alike. He's able to injure an animal using keys as a weapon easily showing off his inhuman strength.
111* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has blonde hair and his eyes are yellow.
112* {{Delinquents}}: He looks and acts like one.
113* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: [[spoiler:Granted, he's not exactly a bad guy, but the reason he's so attached to Kurusu-sensei is that she reminds him of his (deceased) mother.]]
114* FaceOfAThug: Some girls note that his face looks like a serial rapist's, and in color pages his eyes are ''yellow''.
115* FriendlessBackground: Segawa points out that Akira is his first real friend.
116* GeniusBruiser: ''Much'' smarter than he lets on.
117* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Has one when he loses to Akira.]]
118* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Kurusu-sensei.
119* ImprovisedWeaponUser: His weapons of choice are car keys and 500 yen coins.
120* LoveLetterLunacy: Led Saki Segawa to think he had a crush on her.
121* LoveTriangle: It remains to be seen whether or not he is in one with [[spoiler:Kurusu and Segawa]].
122** The ending [[spoiler: doesn't quite resolve this. Everyone assumes Yarai and Kurusu are a couple but point out nothing has happened because Segawa is always around to interfere.]]
123* MenDontCry: Averted in Chapter 141, where [[spoiler:Saki points out that he's crying because doesn't want to kill Akira]].
124%%* MissingMom: [[spoiler:''Twice'', at that!]]
125* MrFanservice: To recap: Yarai is tall, blonde, strong and has highly defined muscles and a big chest that make him the physically biggest character in the series. He has many ShirtlessScene and get a double-page where he bath naked.
126* TheRival: Sees himself as such, though he and Akira are on much better terms than many other rivals in anime.
127* SingleTargetSexuality: The only person he shows any remote interest for is Kurusu sensei, and even then, it's not clear if he sees her romantically or as a mother figure.
128* TheStoic: He hasn't shown any signs of finding his current situation disturbing yet remains relatively calm throughout the whole ordeal.
129** NotSoStoic: Subverted in Chapters 15 and 64, where he laughs at Akira being attacked by the Edwardsi and at the misunderstanding that led Saki to hold a grudge against him. [[spoiler:In Chapter 141, he cries because he doesn't want to kill Akira, but Nishikiori won't save Kurusu-sensei if he doesn't.]]
130%%* SugarAndIcePersonality
131* YoungerThanTheyLook: 14 years old, ladies!

135[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/180px-Kurusu_at_introduction_8431.png]]
136
137The homeroom teacher of class 4.
138----
139* AdultsAreUseless: To a degree. Her heart's in the right place and she is often very comforting, but there are plenty of times where she needs rescuing by her own students.
140* AnimalEaredHeadband: Yarai told her that it would protect her from animal attacks and she believed him.
141* AttemptedRape: The victim of it in the midst of the panic on the plane. Morita's video reveals that Yarai saved her.
142* DesignatedVictim: She gets almost raped, the first to contract the eye disease that killed the students who followed suit, and got a bad case of internal bleeding among others. Girl's got luck on her side for coming out of all them fairly unscathed.
143* HartmanHips: She has a small chest and waist, but her hip size is huge compared to the other females of the series.
144* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Yarai.
145* TheLoad: And frustratingly so. For someone with years ahead of her students, you'd expect she'd be more capable of taking care of herself and be of some help to the team. She tries, bless her heart, but she ends up endangering them most of the time. She is always EasilyForgiven by her students though.
146* LoveTriangle: It remains to be seen whether or not she is in one with [[spoiler:Yarai and Segawa]].
147* SecretlyDying: Inverted. Her companions know that [[spoiler:she's dying from internal bleeding]], but she doesn't. However, [[MortalWoundReveal it appears she's figured out the truth on her own]].
148%%* NiceGirl
149* SenseiChan: Motoko is a female teacher of small stature for her age, but very cute and nice. She worries about all her students and when one doesn't offer any enthusiasm in class, she tries to introduce them to do more things.
150[[/folder]]

152[[folder: Saki Segawa]]
153[[quoteright:196:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/196px-Segawa_confessing_9937.png]]
154
155A girl from a rich family who dislikes Yarai.
156----
157* ACupAngst: While she's not ''small'', she's smaller than Rion, and well aware that this is why the latter is considered prettier.
158* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Played with. Due to the love letter confusion, she had a small crush on Yarai, which went out the window when he tore up her letter (''biiig'' misunderstanding). [[spoiler:On the island, once she realizes what actually happened, she starts falling for him harder]].
159* AlliterativeName: ''S''aki ''S''egawa.
160* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To [[spoiler:Yarai, when it seems like he sees Motoko as a love interest rather than just a teacher]].
161* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has pink hair and pink eyes.
162* TheGlomp: After Yarai saves her.
163* JustFriends: She suggested this to Yarai in response to his love letter. Since he never actually sent her a love letter, he had no idea what was going on.
164* LoveConfession: In the backstory, she thought Yarai was trying to give her one. Turns out that because the letter was unsigned, she had made a big mistake.
165-->'''Yarai:''' I feel bad for the guy who wrote that letter.
166* LoveLetterLunacy: Led her to think Yarai had a crush on her.
167* LoveTriangle: It remains to be seen whether or not she is in one with [[spoiler:Yarai and Kurusu]].
168* NonHumanSidekick: In Chapter 115, she picks up a turtle and declares that it will be the group's dinner. In Chapter 133, we see that she's kept him and named him "Mr. Lucky".
169%%* TheOjou
170* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Takes a punch from Yarai intended for Akira.]]

175
176A girl who has joined Yarai's group with Saki. Other than the fact that she is good at encouraging others, not much is known about her.
177----
178* LettingHerHairDown: [[spoiler:In the finale]]
179* TheLoad: Hasn't really done much in the hundred chapters since her introduction.
180* ThoseTwoGirls: With Machika.
181* TomboyishPonytail: Again, there's not enough detail about her personality to know how much she fits.

190* TheQuietOne: Pretty much nothing is known about her, since she rarely speaks.
191* ThoseTwoGirls: With Makiko.

195
196[[folder: Miina Isurugi]]

198
199A 10 year old girl [[spoiler:(or not)]] in control of a group of 30 men. [[spoiler:In reality, "she" is actually a body double for the real Miina Isurugi.]]
200----
201* ChekhovsGunman: First seen running with her back to the camera on Eiken's ApocalypticLog.

207%%* LittleMissSnarker: [[spoiler:For any given value of "Miss", anyway...]]
208* LoliconAndShotacon: PlayedForLaughs. She flashes her panties, poses seductively, and all in all does everything see can to turn on men [[spoiler:[[FetishRetardant who know "she" is actually a boy]]]].
209* ManipulativeBastard[=/=]GuileHero: The former being how she accomplishes the latter. Throughout the series, Miina has shown to have a great ability at maniuplating people in all types of different ways, pretending to be something he isn't. Shirou Mariya had stated he has a great amount of nerve for being able to do so, able to act as someone he isn't.
210* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler: Eventually is later revealed to be Heijiro]].
211* TheSixthRanger
212* TheTease: A [[spoiler:"squicky"]] version. He makes quite a few perverted jokes and teases Akira Sengoku rather easily throughout the series.
213* UnsettlingGenderReveal:
214** The first time, when the group escaped from the adults, she [[spoiler:pulled off "her" panties]] without warning to make sure she got her message across.
215** The second time was when she and Rei went to bathe together. Implied to be set up by the boys as a prank on Rei.
216* WholesomeCrossdresser: [[spoiler: "HE" is a young actor who was prior to the plane crash, was hired to dress up as the real Miina Isurugi. He likes this role and does not care what other people say about him dressing up as a female. ]]
217[[/folder]]
218
219[[folder: Kagura Mami]]
220[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/150px-Mami_8090.png]]
221
222A student from another school who became famous due to her supposed psychic powers.
223----
224%%* BuxomBeautyStandard: Suzuki sure think this of her.
225* TheCassandra: Twisted around. Her manager was faking her visions [[spoiler:and killing to make them come true]], but never believed Mami's real visions. Thankfully, Sengoku is willing to hear her out.
226* TheLoad: During Piramid Arc, due falling debris, Mami injured her leg and had troubles to keep up with others and so couldn't climb down to laboratories. When Akira's Pyramid Party escaped from the Pyramid, Mami was the only one who got caught.
227* NiceGirl: Quiet, gentle, and friendly at all times. Despite her quiet nature, she's is kind to others and does things in the best interest of others.
228* {{Seers}}: She can see the future with an 80% success rate. She can also predict events that have yet to happen for numerous weeks, as seen when she predicted Akira having a scary face.
229* ShrinkingViolet: Mami is a relatively shy, meek girl. She is doubtful in her own abilities and is usually seen hesitant. She doesn't seem to laugh much, but when she does it's a cute giggle. She doesn't seem to have any outgoing personality and is more reserved and extremely embarrassed when brought up in certain situations, especially with guys.

234
235The class representative of class 4, Yuki was always scolding Akira for goofing around. Initially a member of Kouhei's group, she joins Akira's group after being rescued from drowning.
236----
237* AgentMulder: Yuki has been shown to have certain a addiction of sorts, that when she likes something, she'd think unimaginable things and when she believes in something, she'll try to influence others into it, too. For example, because of Yuki's love for bears, she imagined the island would be in the shape of a giant bear and when people were debating about Mami Kagura's precognition abilities, she influenced Kanako Oomori into believing they were real, knowing a variety of facts about ESP abilities.
238* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Has started falling for [[spoiler:Akira]], well aware he is head-over-heels for [[spoiler:Rion]].
239* ClassRepresentative: At school, Yuki had been the class president and was always nagging a few of her fellow students because of misbehaviour, especially Akira.

252* TheLeader: He seems to be confident in his own leading abilities, yet isn't embarrassed to relinquish his position when need be. He has shown to be an exceptional leader and in reality, was the first group to create a base intended to be for everyone.
253* NiceGuy
254* StudentCouncilPresident: A classic example.

267* KickChick: Often attacks with her kicks, but she knows how to use her fists too.
268* LightningBruiser: Is the most action-oriented of the girls. She is a skilled and confident warrior, able to smash various targets to pieces with her kicks, and has such control she could lash out a leg toward someone's head and stop abruptly before making contact. She is also agile and has a tolerance for damage.
269* LovelyAngels: Becomes this with Aya Tokiwa in the finale.
270* PantyFighter: She often attacks with kicks and, wearing a short skirt, showing her panties becomes inevitable.
