Revenger Anime Characters

■ Raizou Kurima – CV: Jun Kasama

A master swordsman who cuts down any target with a single stroke. Silent and honest, he is the model of a samurai, willing to die for those to whom he has pledged his loyalty. But that’s why his way of life is clumsy. He’s really bad at bargaining and gut-searching, and once he concentrates, he loses sight of his surroundings… His purity is taken advantage of, and he loses his way in life as a samurai.

QooApp Revenger Raizou

■ Yuuen Usui – CV: Yuichiro Umehara

The leader of the Revengers, who dispose of their targets with splendor and ruthlessness. On the outside, he is a lacquerware artist who is popular both at home and abroad, but on the side, he is also a purveyor of anything and everything that the townspeople need. While he is soft-spoken and always acts with grace, he has a mysterious side that he does not reveal to others, and he hides a forbidden faith behind his back.

QooApp Revenger Yuuen

■ Teppa Murakami – CV: Shunsuke Takeuchi

With his muscular body, he draws a huge mechanical bow and shoots deadly arrows that can pierce any distant target. A former pirate, he has a tremendous destructive urge inside, but he usually suppresses it and lives his life as a mild-mannered town doctor. He is a skilled doctor who treats even those who have no money and is widely admired by the townspeople.

QooApp Revenger Teppa

■ Nio – CV: Hisako Kanemoto

A member of the Revengers manipulates a kite string coated with glass fragments to entangle his targets. He is an androgynous boy with a lovely angelic appearance. Still, despite his appearance, he has no human morality or concept of right and wrong and has no hesitation at all in committing cruel murders. His everyday behavior is childish for his age, but he also possesses a shrewd and calculating ability, and plays innocent and cunning tricks on others.

QooApp Revenger Nio

■ Souji – CV: Shouta Hayama

A member of the Revengers aims at the target’s vital points with a hidden Hanafuda (flower card) that contains iron pieces. He is a gambler who lives in a townhouse with a penchant for money and liquor. He wakes up around noon and goes to the gambling hall, drinking sake whether he wins or loses, leading a self-indulgent life. He is the most human person in the crew, with a bad mouth and a lot of complaints, but also surprisingly compassionate.

QooApp Revenger Souji

■ Jinkuro Isarizawa – CV: Takehito Koyasu

An official of the Nagasaki Magistrate’s Office, the security organization of the Shogunate, he has been taking credit for cracking down on opium. He is nicknamed “Kaimaki Yoriki” (meaning a good man with a big mouth)because he usually spends his time in the red-light district with many ladies, but despite his frivolous behavior, he is in fact a very cunning and manipulative man. He is deeply connected to the town’s underworld and is willing to use the Revengers for his own ends.

■ Gerald Kanou – CV: Akio Otsuka

Based in a half-destroyed chapel somewhere in Nagasaki, he is a priest in charge of the Revengers’ deals. Whenever the money is delivered to him, he gives information on the target to the Revengers, and those who successfully complete the work are rewarded with a prayer. He is a follower of a monotheistic religion that was introduced during the Warring States period, but his faith has changed into something unique in the long period of banning and oppression.
