Kagurabachi Charaktere – Leitfaden zur Hauptbesetzung

A young orphan living on the streets who is reported to have witnessed an enchanted blade in use. That single piece of testimony makes her valuable to several parties at once, and she is pursued for it by people with very different intentions.

A high school girl living in Kyoto whose ordinary life sits at an angle to the sorcerers and blade wielders moving around her. She is one of the series' points of contact with the civilian world the enchanted blades are supposedly kept secret from.

The creator of the Iai White Purity Style, the drawing technique that both Chihiro and Seiichi Samura fight with. As its originator he is the authority on what the style can do and where its limits lie.

One of the five surviving enchanted blade wielders from the Seitei War. Like the other survivors, possession of a blade makes him a target for every faction trying to collect them.

One of the five surviving enchanted blade wielders of the Seitei War, and part of the small group whose weapons drive most of the series' conflicts.

One of the five surviving enchanted blade wielders from the Seitei War and a master of the Iai White Purity Style — the same school Chihiro fights with. He carries the enchanted blade Tobimune. His history with the war and with the style gives him a perspective on the blades that Chihiro, as a newcomer to both, does not have.

The leader of the Hishaku, the shadowy sorcerer organisation at the heart of the series' central mystery, and Chihiro's primary target. Yura's ambitions revolve around the enchanted blades and what a single wielder could do with the right one, which puts him in direct opposition to Chihiro's search. He functions as the story's arch-nemesis rather than a monster of the week.

A sorcerer affiliated with the Hishaku, identifiable by the tattoo on her hand that marks the organisation. She is among the operatives working toward the group’s goals around the enchanted blades.

A member of the Hishaku who works alongside a partner, Toto, on assignments involving abduction and leverage rather than open battle — a reminder that the organisation applies pressure through people as readily as through force.

A Hishaku sorcerer who fights in sandals and samurai armour, a deliberately archaic look among an otherwise modern cast. He is one of the organisation’s field operatives.

A sorcerer in pursuit of the street orphan Char, able to produce daruma dolls that detonate violently on the command 'Invincible.' The technique is characteristic of the series' approach to sorcery, where a strange, narrow ability is made dangerous by how precisely it is used.

An old friend of Kunishige Rokuhira, a former member of the Kamunabi and a veteran of the Seitei War. His shared history with Chihiro's father gives him context on the blades and on the war that produced them, and makes him one of the few adults Chihiro has any reason to trust.

Described within the series as the strongest fighter the Kamunabi have and the only individual capable of standing against an enchanted blade. She wields the Flame Bone of the Starving, a weapon held to be on par with the blades themselves, which makes her one of the few characters who can meet a wielder on equal terms.

One of the leaders of the Kamunabi, the official body responsible for regulating sorcery and controlling the enchanted blades. His decisions shape how the organisation responds to Chihiro operating outside its authority.

A Kamunabi sorcerer built like a sumo wrestler, whose sheer physical presence sets him apart from the organisation’s more technical fighters.

The general manager of the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel, a building designed around a barrier that prevents detection by any means, sorcery included. He is a master and instructor of the Reigen One-Sword-Style and has taught it to his staff, who double as his disciples.

A member of the Masumi Ninja Clan, formerly stationed at Senkutsuji Temple as part of the detail guarding Seiichi Samura. The clan’s guard duty places them between Samura and everyone who wants his blade.

The head of the Masumi Ninja Clan, which was formerly stationed at Senkutsuji Temple to guard Seiichi Samura. He directs a group whose role is protection and concealment rather than open confrontation.

The protagonist of Kagurabachi and the son and apprentice of the master swordsmith Kunishige Rokuhira. Chihiro grew up in his father's forge expecting to inherit the craft, until the violence that opens the series redirected his life entirely toward revenge. He wields the enchanted blade Enten and fights with the Iai White Purity Style, a drawing technique built around ending an exchange in a single motion. Where his father was warm and unserious, Chihiro is cold and methodical, and much of the series' tension comes from how far that focus carries him.

Chihiro's father and the master swordsmith behind the enchanted blades, forged by a technique no other smith has ever reproduced. Publicly celebrated and privately goofy, he raised his son in the workshop with far more warmth than discipline. His work is the reason the blades exist and the reason so many factions want them, which places him at the centre of the events that set the story in motion.

A member of the Sazanami Clan who also carries the distinctive hand marking that indicates Hishaku affiliation — a double allegiance that makes him a point of contact between the clan and the organisation Chihiro is hunting.

A young man cast out of the powerful Sazanami Clan, which judged him too weak to be worth keeping. Hakuri first encounters Chihiro by chance, watching a battle unfold in the streets of Tokyo from a nearby restaurant, and is struck by a courage he has never been permitted to show himself. That moment reframes his sense of what he could become, and his arc is the series' clearest study of self-worth rebuilt from nothing.

A member of the Sazanami Clan and one of the Tou, the elite unit of four sorcerers whose function is to protect the clan leader. Her position places her inside the same family structure that discarded Hakuri, on the side that benefited from it.

A member of the Sazanami Clan and one of the four elite sorcerers of the Tou, charged with the direct protection of the clan leader. He is among the clan members Hakuri would have grown up beneath rather than alongside.

A prominent weapons dealer with effective control over Japan's black market — a genuine power in the underworld rather than a hired blade. His interest in the enchanted blades is commercial before it is personal, and his early confrontation with Chihiro in Tokyo is the fight that draws Hakuri into the story.
