8
9	The main protagonist and Seleção No. 9, Akira Takizawa awakens outside the White House with no memories and [[NakedFirstImpression stark naked]]. He befriends Saki Morimi, a Japanese college student on vacation in America on her way to catch a flight home. Armed with a cellphone, Takizawa learns he is part of a game created by one Mr. Outside to use the ten billion yen on the phone to improve the state of Japan. Takizawa meets his fellow Seleção, whilst trying to recover his memories before and after he was selected for the game.
10
11	He was born on January 7, 1989, making him one day younger than Saki. Later on, it turns out "Akira Takizawa" is not his real name and his actual name remains a mystery.
12	----
13	* ActionSurvivor: He gets involved in a lot of action - being attacked by a oil tanker, taking on a missile attack, escaping numerous explosions, etc, and always comes away relatively unscathed.
14	* AmnesiacDissonance: Discovers he was possibly responsible for the [[spoiler:Careless Monday missile attacks]], but actually used it as an excuse to [[spoiler:save 20,000 NEETS that helped him evacuate citizens from being arrested for the same thing]], and then erased his own memory to cover up his and their tracks.
15	* BavarianFireDrill: Is very skilled at this, making up outrageous lies to people in order to be able to get away with things.
16	%%* BigFancyHouse: More like big fancy shopping mall.
17	* BiggerIsBetterInBed: It's implied that he's quite well-endowed down there, although we have to take the female characters who see him naked's words (or rather, lack thereof) for that. An American policewoman is so impressed by it she lets him off the hook.
18	* TheCharmer: Takizawa is quite the charmer, being able to smooth-talk his way people into giving him what he wants with ease.
19	%%* ChickMagnet
20	* CloudCuckooLander: He's pretty crazy and spontaneous, with and without his memory.
21	* CoolBike: He rides around on a neat yellow motorcycle. Why he can remember how to ride it is a mystery.
22	** Makes sense actually. Memories on how to perform tasks and procedures are stored completely separately from memories about oneself and past life experiences.
23	* EasyAmnesia: [[spoiler:''Twice''.]]
24	* FirstKiss: [[spoiler: He gives Saki one in Episode 5.]]
25	* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: The fact that he picked the name "Akira Takizawa" from one of the various passports with his face on it should've been seen as a massive clue that it's not his real name.]]
26	%%* GagPenis
27	* GambitPileup: He doesn't exactly play XanatosSpeedChess, but he does have a knack for constantly throwing SpannerInTheWorks of his fellow Seleção plans. His solutions include...
28	** [[spoiler: Stealing Number 4's Police badge to force him into another meeting to reclaim his Noblesse Phone from Number 4.]]
29	** [[spoiler:Gets into an escalating war of dirty tricks with Number 11 to delay her from getting back to a hotel before he can get there, such as by having her driving record be listed as a repeat offender, buying out the hotel, causing its price to double in mere minutes.]]
30	** [[spoiler: Prevents casualties on Careless Monday by having Juiz hack the Earth Quake Early Alert system, recruiting 20,000 [=NEETs=] to play the role of police and military to help guide the citizens to safe locations and hand out relief supplies.]]
31	** [[spoiler: When the public and [=NEETs=] turn against him out of suspicion it was all a hoax done by the [=NEETs=] (and to the [=NEETs=], by him), has the [=NEETs=] transported to Dubai as immigrant workers to get them out of Japanese public view for awhile, then erases his own memories and sent to the U.S. to let public anger die down first.]]
32	** [[spoiler: Prevents another Careless Monday style attack involving 60 Cruise Missiles launched by Number 1 and Number 10 by 1) Having all 20,000 [=NEETs=] brought back to Japan via cargo ship to his shopping mall. 2) Contacts everyone inside the mall via Video call, claiming [[ZeroApprovalGambit that he's the one launching the missiles]], but giving the [=NEETs=] one chance at survival by ordering them to post their missile defense ideas on the Eden of the East Image boards. 3) Has Juiz crowdsource the best ideas that are posted to set up the defensive launchers and scramble F-15s from the JSDF to shoot down the missiles]]
33	** [[spoiler: Has Juiz wipe his memories again, give him new ones, flown to New York, and change public records to make him appear to be the illegitimate child of an affair between the former Prime Minister and his mother to influence politics in Japan.]]
34	* GeniusDitz: He's a massive weirdo, but also quite intelligent and an apt smooth-talker.
35	* GenreSavvy: Some of the very few things he ''does'' remember are the numerous movies he's seen, and how they apply to his situation(s).
36	%%* GuileHero
37	* HeroicBastard: In the films, he is accused of being the illegitimate son of the deceased prime minister of Japan. [[spoiler: This is later proven to be false.]]
38	* HeroicSacrifice: Willingly gives up his memories twice to save others. The first time he wound up naked in America, and the second time he [[spoiler: became an international celebrity known as the Air King, and revealed to possibly be the son of the dead Japanese prime minister]].
39	* IHaveManyNames: He has numerous passports with diffetn names. [[spoiler: In the films he goes by the name of Akira Iinuma]].
40	* IdentityAmnesia: Akira has absolutely no idea of his past identity or actions--and he never gets his memories back after his multiple brain wipes, either.
41	* {{Keet}}: Even in serious situations he retains a cheerful and friendly demeanor.
42	%%* KnightInShiningArmor: To Saki, and somewhat Diana.
43	* LastNameBasis: Basically everyone calls him by his last name.
44	%%* MemoryGambit: He pulls it off ''twice''!
45	* NakedFirstImpression: His first appearance involves him walking towards Saki and two cops completely naked, although his groin is covered by a CensorBox scribble.
46	* NakedOnArrival: He's completely nude when he first appears.
47	* NiceGuy: It's nearly impossible for anyone who personally knows him to hate this guy. He's such a kind, compassionate and friendly young man that [[spoiler:he leaves a good impression on the [[DoesNotLikeMen man-hating]] Seleção No. 11.]]
48	* OmniscientMoralityLicense: Juiz applauds him for occasionally acting like this but never really becoming evil.
49	* PetTheDog: He owns an adorable Shiba Inu, previously owned by [[spoiler:his mother]].
50	%%* PopCulturedBadass
51	* TheScapegoat: Takizawa willingly makes himself this three times.
52	* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: He ends up naked in front of people often, but doesn't mind and is never embarrassed by it, even though he often gets told to PleasePutSomeClothesOn.
53	* ShoutOut:
54	** Takizawa comments that his situation when he finds himself in Washington is similar to ''Franchise/TheBourneSeries''.
55	** Or how his gun-closet is reminiscent of ''Film/TaxiDriver'', and how ''Film/KateAndLeopold'' is the first thing that pops into his head while standing over a bridge with Saki.
56	* TakeMyHand: Takizawa reaches out to Saki when departing home on a boat and she decides to stay with him.
57	%%* TheTease
58	* WillTheyOrWontThey: Takizawa and Saki throughout the anime and movies. They do sort of become a couple. Sort of.
59	* YouAreNumberSix: Takizawa...doesn't actually have a confirmed name. He doesn't know what it is, and he lied to so many people in the past that his name is somewhat vague. The only name he truly knows has is Seleção No. 9--because it's stated Akira Takizawa is ''not'' his name.

65
66	A 22-year-old university student in her graduating year, Saki meets Akira in Washington D.C and the two quickly become involved in each other's lives. Saki is Akira's biggest supporter and love interest. A member of Eden of the East, Saki's ability to enhance the value of junk items has helped the group to be successful. She could only go to college with the aid of her sister and brother-in-law, whom she has been living with after the death of her parents when she was a baby, and plans to find work in an office because she is ashamed of living off their money. While she is a selfless girl, she is very opinionated about the condition of the country after Careless Monday.
67
68	She was born on January 6, 1989, therefore she is one day older than Takizawa.
69	-----
70	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Saki regrets her wish for something bigger to happen after Careless Monday upon learning why Takizawa erased his memories.
71	%%* BlushSticker
72	* CrapsackWorld: She gets this impression after an embarrassing job interview - in which she got a bowl of stew purposefully dumped in her lap in order to make her leave.
73	* ExactEavesdropping: Saki gets a lot of information about Takizawa and the other Seleção (with Takizawa's knowledge) by listening in on Takizawa's phone calls.

81
82	!!Eden of the East members
83
84	Saki's inner circle of friends who make up the staff of an online image recognition system and recycling group.

The groups members include leader Kazuomi Hirasawa, deadpan programmer Mikuru "Micchon" Katsuhara, Satoshi Osugi who has a crush on Saki, spectacled Kasuga, Sis who has a fondness for cute things, and Yutaka "Panties" Itazu, known for (formally) not wearing any trousers and is a skilled hacker. Takizawa later becomes a member of the group.
85	-----
86	[[folder:In General]]
87	* MissionControl: Eden becomes this for Saki, and indirectly, Takizawa.
88	* {{NEET}}: Think of themselves as ones, as a sort of ideology, but instead of the stereotypical laziness, they're more like future dot com millionaires.

95	A friend of Saki's who has feelings for her.
96	----
97	* ButtMonkey: Osugi is constantly the butt of jokes from the others. He gets routinely brushed off by other characters, stood up, and drunk to the point of nearly puking in the street. Then Kuroha apparently kidnaps him and threatens to de-Johnnify him... [[spoiler:though it turns it was a serial rapist who had stolen his bag and cell phone during the aforementioned drunkenness]].
98	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Light brown hair and eyes.
99	* GreenEyedMonster: Part of the reason for his initial distrust of Akira is that he thought he was Saki's boyfriend.
100	* HopelessSuitor: Osugi loves Saki, Saki [[JustFriends doesn't love]] Osugi, Takizawa likes Saki, Saki likes Takizawa, [[GreenEyedMonster Osugi doesn't like Takizawa]].
101	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: He, Hirasawa, and Kasuga strip off to make their way through the NEET-inhabited mall, but he's the only one who's really embarrassed about it, and naturally, he's the one who ends up being seen by Saki and Micchon, prompting a NakedFreakOut.

170	[[folder:Tropes that apply to all]]
171	* BlessedWithSuck: They're given a fortune, but are told that they'll be killed if they use it for personal gain, don't play the game, or run out of money, and are manipulated so that they'll fear being assassinated by their fellow Seleção.

207	* DeadpanSnarker: Tends toward this, although this varies between light amusement (toward Takizawa) and total contempt (toward Naomoto).
208	* DeusExMachina: Juiz practically is one and can do just about anything if ordered to.
209	* LiteralGenie: She takes Akira's hypothetical "[[spoiler:make the Prime Minister say 'Uncle']]" request literally. Good thing it only cost him 60 yen. Implied to be Juiz being [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], since she never makes the mistake any other time. It does have a positive effect, abnormally for the trope, and gets mentioned several times later by other characters
210	* MachineMonotone: PlayedWith - Juiz is easily one of the most personable members of the cast. She does, however, respond in a largely monotone "Acknowledged. Noblesse oblige" whenever she accepts a request.
211	* MadeOfExplodium: Several of the Juiz trucks are blown up in the first film.
212	* MagicalComputer: There are twelve of her.
213	* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Generally does whatever her Seleção orders.
214	* ServileSnarker: Despite constantly speaking in a robotic manner, tends to make little quips about particularly outlandish requests.

217	* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Juiz can be contacted via a special Seleção cell phone, and the mysterious female voice refers to herself as a "concierge".

225	----
226	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Once he himself starts running low on funds on his phone, which means The Supporter will come to eliminate him once it hits zero, he decides to steal Takizawa's phone, which still has about 8 billion yen on it, so he can transfer the money onto his phone to not only save his skin, but allow himself to live comfortably with his mistress. While the theft is successful, it only occurs to him once he has it and uses up the rest of the his money that he doesn't know if the money on one phone can be transferred to another, and when he subtly asks Juiz if it's possible, it's only then that he learns that the phones have fingerprint recognition and therefore, he can't transfer the money himself.
227	* DirtyCop: Subverted. He is unafraid to use Juiz to assassinate criminals or others who bother him.
228	* TheEeyore: He's quite moody and pessimistic, believing that ten billion yen is not enough to save the country.
229	* FourIsDeath: [[spoiler: He is the first to go.]]
230	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Kondo's wife accidentally receives a text he meant to send to his mistress and she stabs him in revenge.]]

232	* MrExposition: Kondo explains things to Takizawa during their encounters and manages to send Takizawa off to find the other Seleção before [[spoiler: he dies]].
233	* MotiveDecay: Kondo's motives are hard to make out. He seems to enjoy his new lease on life with the money has has, and has Juiz assassinate people that bother him. However, [[spoiler: upon his death]], he claims he was just trying to do the right thing in life.

A kind middle-aged man, Dr. Hiura embraces his known fate, having played the game not to save Japan but to rather improve the hospital systems. He mimics a phone call from Mr. Nobody to inform Takizawa of their involvement in the game.
243	-----
244	* HeroWithBadPublicity: He accomplishes his goals through bribing politicians, and so in the press receives negative coverage as a source of political corruption. On the other hand, his patients consider him a saint.

258	----
259	* BackForTheFinale: By the time of ''The King of Eden'', she's taken a break from Johnny-hunting and becomes a valuable ally for the heroes.
260	* BigDamnHeroes: In ''The King of Eden'', she dramatically arrives with her car to save Akira and Saki from {{Mooks}} right at the nick of time.
261	* BlackBraAndPanties: She's often seen wearing these, fitting for her seductive nature.
262	* BuxomBeautyStandard: She's quite well-endowed, which is partly why she's considered so attractive. She purposedly wears outfits with low-necklines knowing it will distract men, making them easier targets.
263	* CripplingCastration: Kuroha makes a point to castrate the men she kills, which is why she's known as the Johnny Huner / Killer.
264	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Light blue hair and eyes.
265	* DoesNotLikeMen: Aside from Takizawa. Apparently this only extends to Japanese men, as the entire reason she set up the modeling agency was to import handsome European men to replace all the people she's killed.
266	* EscapeBattleTechnique: Kuroha flees her hotel room by seemingly sprouting bird wings and flying out the window. This turns out to be an illusion she had planned via Juiz, using supplies from costume and magic shops.
267	* FemmeFatale: She's a mysterious and seductive woman, who's actually a SerialKiller uses her feminine allure to kidnap men.
268	* GrowingWings: Can grow a pair of black feathery wings that allow her to become a WingedHumanoid that can fly.
269	* HeroicSacrifice: In the first movie, ''The King of Eden'' Kuroha [[spoiler:sacrifices her version of Juiz to keep Takizawa in the game, after Mononobe fires missiles to eliminate other Seleção.]]
270	* HighHeelPower: She's always wearing high heels, fitting with her being an empowered businesswoman and a FemmeFatale. She even tends to use them to step on her victims.
271	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She becomes attracted to Akira and even attempts to seduce him, but gives up on the notion once she notices he already has a LoveInterest in Saki.
272	%%* KnightTemplar
273	* MsFanservice: She's an attractive seductress who spends a lot of her screen time in [[LingerieScene lingeries]], specifically BlackBraAndPanties and she's the focus of several MaleGaze shots. In ''The King of Eden'' she gets a gratuitous ShowerScene, with a ToplessnessFromTheBack shot and her SexySilhouette being visible through the frosty glass.
274	* RedHerring: Akira and the team start going after her because they think she's targetting Ōsugi, but she has nothing to do with him going missing.
275	* SerialKillerKiller: Kuroha is a SerialKiller who only kills rapists or cruel men.
276	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: The reason she likes Akira is because he's a "good boy".
277	* SleepsInTheNude: She's shown to sleep in her king-size bed while only clad in her BlackBraAndPanties or completely nude, which fits with her being a sensual and luxurious character.
278	* StrawFeminist: Can come off looking like this. Her quest to "save Japan" is motivated by the country's hideously misogynistic culture. How does she do this? Kill men by cutting off their genitals and replacing them with (presumably) less sexist non-Asian men. Considering how sympathetic she winds up being, though...
279	* UnflinchingWalk: In the first movie, [[spoiler: after making her Juiz blow up to save Takizawa's Juiz]].
280	* WellIntentionedExtremist: In her view, justice means killing "the enemies of women" by cutting their Johnnies off.
281	* WomanOfWealthAndTaste: In her public persona she's frequently seeing enjoying expensive luxuries, eating fancy food, wearing expensive clothes, and [[WineIsClassy drinking wine]].

288	The BigBad of the show, and Seleção No. 1. A former politician, Mononobe became head of Ato Saizo's company and planned to become Mr. Outside himself. He is quite resourceful and smart, identifying most of the Seleção, and recruits No. 2 and 10 to work with him. His ultimate goal is to become ruler of Japan via terrorist attacks and eventually he plans to overthrow the government and replace it with a new one at the cost of individual freedom.
289	----
290	* CarFu: Twice. First with Panties, though he ultimately survived. This is also how he kills [[spoiler:Yuki. [[MutualKill Shame he didn't spring for a bulletproof windshield]]...]]
291	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Used his Noblesse phone and connections to purchase Ato Saizo Industries, with the intent of controlling the Noblesse system and Juiz.
292	* FakeUltimateHero: He convinces the Japanese government that he was the one who stopped the missile attacks. Luckily, the Japanese ''people'' know better.
293	* GovernmentConspiracy: Subverted in the show it self, he's a former politician. By the first movie, he's managed to get himself back into some political power as an adviser to the Government due to Outside stopping him from taking over the Noblesse system, and Takizawa's repeatedly interfering with the missile strikes he and Number 10 launched.
294	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Does this in the two movies, notably the second one to go after the other Seleção's, often by having his rivals charged with Tax Evasion, or causing public unrest.
295	* PredatoryBusiness: Subverted. This trope involves actual people instead of businesses, Mononobe firing missiles to eliminate the other Seleção's versions of Juiz. He succeeds in taking down No. 2 and No. 12, whilst Kuroha (No. 11) blocks a missile to keep Takizawa in the game.
296	* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: By getting back into politics, he starts changing laws to favor a power grab for himself.

302
303	Seleção No. 2, Tsuji is in the marketing business and works with Mononobe and Yuki. Unlike them, he is not really interested in Mr. Nobody's game and just wants it to be other, and hasn't used any of his money. He starts making his move in the first film.
304	-----
305	* AffablyEvil: Tsuji is not really a villain but is a bit of a manipulative guy. He helps Yuki out after he eliminates himself from the game and goes into hiding.
306	* AGlassOfChianti: During many of his scenes in the movie he has a cocktail glass in hand with some kind of drink in it
307	* CoolBoat: He owns a big yacht.

316	Seleção No. 10. Ryo Yuki works with Mononobe and Tsuji to win the game. A disgruntled employee, Yuki is quite AxCrazy and wants to get revenge by bombing Japan with missiles.
317	----
318	%%* AxCrazy: More like missile-crazy.
319	* EvilIsNotPacifist: He's horrified during the series when Mononobe uses his car to run down Panties, but as Mononobe points out, he has no qualms about using missiles to kill thousands of people.
320	* EvilMinions: He was one to Mononobe [[spoiler: until he was betrayed by the latter]].
321	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He attacks Mononobe at the end of the game, unaware the latter has had his memory erased of the game as a gift from Mr. Outside. He shoots Mononobe only to get run over by his car.]]

323	* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Yuki faked his death by destroying his cell phone but surprised Tsuji when he revealed he was alive.]]
324	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His basic motivation in the series. After his parents died from being overworked, Yuki got nothing out of their hard work and was "betrayed" by Japan's bureaucrats and selfish businessmen.
325	* UnwittingPawn: When Yuki's provided by Tsuji a gun and a forged passport to help in killing Takizawa, he's unaware that he's that way providing Tsuji a way to keep on his plan of winning the game [[spoiler:without Tsuji's destroyed Juiz]].

331
332	Seleção No. 6. Naomoto is an eccentric filmmaker who goes AxCrazy in his plan to kill Takizawa and Saki for a film -- by blowing them up whilst they have a shower together. His plan falls through thanks to Kuroha, and he tries to kill Takizawa with a flamethrower whilst recording the scene. He is arrested soon after.
333	----
334	%%* AxCrazy
335	* FateWorseThanDeath: Naomoto is arrested and loses his memory at the end of the second film, freaking out when he discovers he is in a police station.
336	%%* MadArtist

338	* PrimaDonnaDirector: He practically mirrors the comments made about Creator/MichaelBay.
339	* PrisonRape: His eventual fate, courtesy of a large, black inmate.
340	* PyroManiac: Comes at Takizawa and Saki with a flamethrower.
341	* ShipperOnDeck: Of a really weird and perverse kind- hard to figure how else to to describe his desire to get Takizawa and Saki to shower together so he can blow them up.
342	* SmugSnake: And his Juiz shows him no respect because of it, making it clear how stupid she finds his plans.
343	* StuffBlowingUp: He attempts to blow up Takizawa and Saki whilst wanting them to have a shower together, due to there "never being a scene like that before".
