Main characters[edit]

Voiced by: Kikunosuke Toya,[1] Marina Inoue[2] (child) (Japanese); Ryan Colt Levy,[3] Ciarán Strange[4] (child) (English)
Portrayed by: Naotake Tsuchiya[5] (stage play, Denji), Masahide Tada and Yutaka Nakasone[5] (stage play, Chainsaw Man)
A young man with messy blond hair, yellow-brown eyes, and sharp teeth, and a student at Fourth East High School. His father died when he was young, after which he inherited his debt from the yakuza. After meeting the Chainsaw Devil, Pochita, he becomes a Devil Hunter in an attempt to pay off his debt. When the yakuza make a deal with the Zombie Devil to kill him, Pochita fuses with his corpse, becoming his heart and making a contract with him on the condition that he "share his dreams" with him. After this, Denji is revived and gains the ability to transform into the devil-human hybrid Chainsaw Man by pulling a cord on his chest. After meeting Makima, he becomes a Public Safety Devil Hunter to live in humane conditions. His initial motivation is his love for her, but this later changes to using his newfound fame as Chainsaw Man to attract women, repeatedly trying to expose his identity in the process, while caring for Nayuta and giving her the family she wanted.
Asa Mitaka (三鷹アサ, Mitaka Asa)
A high school student at Fourth East High School who is insecure and self-deprecating and estranged from her classmates, having shut herself off from the world out of guilt for the deaths she has caused. She believes that the world is corrupt and harbors hatred towards devils since the Typhoon Devil killed her parents, and tends to be judgmental and spiteful toward others. After the Class President, who made a contract with the Justice Devil, kills her, Yoru revives her and she becomes her vessel and a human-fiend hybrid possessing the abilities of the War Devil. Now sharing the same body, Yoru forces Asa into her vendetta to eliminate Chainsaw Man and reclaim the Nuclear Weapons Devil from him. After meeting Denji, she sees him as a potential weapon against Chainsaw Man, but is unaware they are the same person. Over time, she develops feelings for him, but Nayuta's interference causes her to believe she was stood up by Denji and that her feelings meant nothing. She has a habit of entering relationships due to her loneliness and desire for companionship, despite her fear of making connections only to be left alone because of her mistakes.

Thirteen years before the series' events, it manifested after a terrorist attack and attacked the world, killing 1.2 million people before disappearing. After an unknown entity defeated it, it was scattered into pieces, which the governments of several countries have gathered to form contracts with it. The president of the United States summons 20% of the Gun Devil to kill Makima, and while she is able to defeat it, it possesses Aki's body, turning into the Gun Fiend.

Voiced by: Yūko Ueda[2]

Four Horsemen[edit]

A group of powerful devils based on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who can remember the existence of devils eaten by the Chainsaw Devil, who they battled long ago. They seek to kill or use the Chainsaw Man to fulfill their goals. According to Fami, the horsemen may be related to each other, as she treats Yoru like a younger sibling.

Control Devil (支配の悪魔, Shihai no Akuma)
A powerful devil that represents the fear of domination and/or conquest, and one of the Four Horsemen. They can control devils and humans, including their contracts and abilities.
Makima (マキマ)
Voiced by: Tomori Kusunoki[1] (Japanese); Suzie Yeung[3] (English)
Portrayed by: Aya Hirano[5] (stage play)
A mysterious woman who serves as the head of Public Safety Division 4 and is the first person to show affection to Denji. She is kind and compassionate, but also cunning and manipulative, as she controls Denji through his love for her to keep him working with Public Safety while threatening to treat him as a Devil if he tries to run away. She is later revealed to be the Control Devil, who seeks to use the Chainsaw Man to create a world without suffering. However, this goal is not her true goal, as Pochita explains that she wanted to have a family and a relationship with someone equal to herself, which she was unable to achieve due to her upbringing, as the Japanese government saw her as a weapon and raised her to be one. After Denji defeats the Gun Devil possessing Aki's corpse, she grants him the wish she promised him: however, after seeing that he only wants to be her dog, her disappointment leads her to break his contract with Pochita, as she believes he cannot be the Chainsaw Man that she needs. She proceeds with her plans by killing Power and convincing Denji that she will destroy his happiness, also revealing that, he was responsible for killing his father rather than him committing suicide, as he believed. After the fight at the cemetery, when she fights with Pochita posing as Denji without recognizing him, she realizes that she was wrong. Denji ultimately kills her by bypassing her contract with the prime minister by cutting her with a chainsaw made from Power's blood; he then eats her as an act of love, declaring that he will always love her despite her actions.
Nayuta (ナユタ)
The current incarnation of the Control Devil following Makima's reincarnation. She is a young girl with ringed eyes like the other Horsemen and black hair worn in a style resembling Makima's. After Kishibe finds her in China, he leaves her in Denji's care to raise her and keep her away from the Japanese government. Nayuta's name and initial appearance are seemingly based on the titular character of Fujimoto's previous work Yogen no Nayuta (予言のナユタ).[10] After a few months living with Denji, she is noticeably taller and more mature than her initial appearance because, being a Devil, she grows at a faster rate than humans. She is also precocious, as Denji believes she is smart enough to go to college and is saving for her tuition. Like Makima, Nayuta is caring and protective towards Denji, as after seeing him getting kissed by Yoru/Asa, she alters her memory in a fit of jealousy, claiming Denji belongs to her. She also exerts a certain degree of influence over Denji, as he tells her that she always comes first after Asa's memory is altered, and when he no longer wants to be Chainsaw Man she manages to convince him otherwise by telling him he will get more love if he keeps fighting Devils. As well, despite knowing that he cannot die, she does not want him to get close to other girls, as she knows that those he has met have tried to kill him. Unlike Makima, Nayuta is more childish, using her brainwashing abilities to make Asa act like a dog and being willing to negotiate for ice cream.
Yoru (ヨル) / War Devil (戦争の悪魔, Sensō no Akuma)
The once-powerful War Devil, who makes a contract with Asa after saving her from the Class President, who was contracted with the Justice Devil. She represents the primal fear of war and is one of the Four Horsemen, possessing the ability to transform anything that "belongs" to the user into weapons which become more powerful the more guilt the user has for transforming the item into a weapon. She took the name Yoru ("night") to mirror Asa ("day"). After being consumed by Pochita, leaving her severely weakened, she gains a vendetta against Chainsaw Man. Unlike Makima, who is cold and aloof, she acts more human and shows vulnerability, potentially from inheriting some of Asa's personality as a fiend. Before possessing Asa, she first appeared in a weakened form of an owl or potoo, similar to Pochita's dog form. After her date with Denji at the aquarium, she reveals to Asa that she inherited her crush on Denji, but this does not stop her from wanting to kill him.
Fami (キガ, Kiga) / Famine (or Hunger) Devil (飢餓の悪魔, Kiga no Akuma)
The mysterious Famine Devil, who assumes the identity of a female student at Fourth East High School, as well as a member of its devil hunter club and the secret leader of the Chainsaw Man Church. She represents the fear of famine and hunger and is one of the Four Horsemen, who treats her fellow horsemen like sisters. In contrast to the fear she represents, she is a glutton. Although she is a Horseman and is not supposed to reveal her true identity, she does not care if others find out, although Hirofumi is monitoring her under Public Security orders. She currently aims to prevent the coming of the Nostradamus prophecy to continue consuming human food by using the War Devil's power to slay the Death Devil.
Death Devil (死の悪魔, Shi no Akuma)
A Devil representing the fear of death who is known as "The King of Terror". Though her status and whereabouts are currently unknown, it is implied that she is considered to be the strongest devil, according to the Nostradamus prophecy. According to Fami and Nayuta, they are aware of her presence and arrival due to their connections as sisters, with Death being their eldest sibling.
