金剛番長
MAINAkira Kongou (金剛 晄, Kongō Akira) is the main protagonist. He is a regular guy who fearlessly fights the evil Banchou army with his towering body, muscles of steel and fists which can shatter even boulders. His goal is to stop the 23 District Project which will produce a new generation of dictators. In order to do this, he became the Banchou representing the Chiyoda District and battles with the other Banchou of the city. He is also a member and leader of the Banchou Alliance.



Haruka Kodama (児玉 遥, Kodama Haruka)), known as Sasori (Scorpion) Banchou, is a banchou who was taught her way of life by Aiko Tsukishima, the first leader of the fanatical Red Scorpion. After Aiko's death, she was entrusted with raising the orphaned Rai. Mistaking him for his brother, she challenged Akira Kongou, but settled things with him during their fight. Her catch phase is "cleanse me of regret."


Masamune Gokurou, known also as Gokumon Banchou (獄門番長, lit. Prison Gate Banchou), is the Shirayukinomiya family butler and Kobushi's private cook who supports her completely. He is a very fast cook able to make a Chanko Nabe in seconds and also he is protective of Kobushi as a father would be. He also seems to have extreme combat ability, able to defeat several of Machine Banchou's robot underlings easily, something that interests Akira.


Takeshi Kongou (金剛 猛, Kongō Takeshi) is Akira and Soara's older brother and has been a competitor of the 23 District Project his father established from the very start. However, he's only recently become active after Akira begun to interfere with the project and managed to 'conquer' half of Tokyo's districts on his own. Despite Akira's claims to go and defeat both his father and brother, Takeshi has always been the stronger of the two brothers and moved up the ladder of success at an astonishing rate. After the efforts of the 23 Districts Project were crippled by Akira and forced to a standstill, Takeshi founded the Dark Student Council and changed the Organization's plans to a nationwide battle. Each Banchou that manages to gain control over one of the remaining 46 prefectures outside of Tokyo is automatically appointed a seat in the Dark Student Council, given white Banchou uniforms and tasked with destroying Japan under Takeshi's lead then rebuilding it according to his will.

AT-KM-100 (AT-KM-100) is the banchou of the Bunkyou District. He is known as the Machine Banchou. He was created as an intelligent weapon to single-handedly stop armed conflicts and military crises. As a good battle machine, he follows his orders which are to defeat the Banchou in the 23 District Project and gain control over Japan to transform it into a country where everyone follows a strict order under Dr. Kagimiya's rule.

Kenji Isaki (伊崎 剣司, Isaki Kenji) is the Kenpei (Military Police) Banchou. Isaki is the executioner among the Four Emperors and he commands over most other, lower Banchous of the Dark Student Council. He is a psychotic yet very level-headed fighter who is obsessed with making his custom-made sword, Canaria, 'sing' in battle by cutting, smashing and gouging his opponents to death. He is quickly disappointed by weak opponents because they can't satisfy his blade and his own hunger for power. He and Iai Banchou once attended the same swordmanship dojo under Isaki's father, who was the master at that time. Isaki later killed his own master and father as he saw that he'd surpassed him in terms of skill and power even in his teens.
