:A young man with an affinity for gaming, nicknamed "Beastly Fingers Haruo". He met his match during a fateful encounter with Akira Ono while playing Street Fighter II. Undeterred after losing, he still sees her as an opponent he must challenge and eventually beat. While he starts as a snarky brat with an ego, he eventually grows out of it. However, he never abandons his dedication and love for gaming, which almost borders on unhealthy obsession. On the bright side, this pure passion for gaming is what leads him to find some of his closest friends.

;{{nihongo|Akira Ono|大野 晶（おおの あきら）|Ōno Akira}}

:{{voiced by|Sayumi Suzushiro}} (Japanese); Christine Marie Cabanos (English)

:A daughter of the Ono Zaibatsu, Akira is rich, popular, and multi-talented – the polar opposite of Haruo. To escape the strict educational regimen she faces at home, she sneaks away to play in arcades where she showcases her exceptional gaming ability. She initially encounters Haruo during a match of Street Fighter II, and bonds with him over their love for gaming. She never talks and communicates solely through gestures and facial expressions. She also appears as a guest support character in Million Arthur: Arcana Blood.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dualshockers.com/million-arthur-aracana-blood-western-release-steam/|title=Million Arthur Arcana Blood is Coming West Through Steam This Summer|website=Dualshockers.com|date=18 February 2019|access-date=25 December 2021|archive-date=3 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220703180248/https://www.dualshockers.com/million-arthur-aracana-blood-western-release-steam/|url-status=live}}

;{{nihongo|Koharu Hidaka|日高 小春（ひだか こはる）|Hidaka Koharu}}

:{{voiced by|Yuuki Hirose}} (Japanese); Erika Harlacher (English)

:Introduced as a junior high classmate of Haruo, Hidaka was introverted, lonely and mainly studied. However, during the years when Ono is forced to be overseas by the Ono family, Hidaka begins spending time with Haruo after Hidaka's family store adds arcade machines. Hidaka's natural instinct for fighting games proves to be almost as remarkable as Ono's. As the third person in the love triangle, her battles with both Haruo and Oono are eventually realized as fateful video game battles. Nikotama, leader of the local gaming team, mentors Koharu. In Hi Score Girl DASH, a spinoff manga, we meet Hidaka as a mature woman who has become a middle-school teacher.

;{{Nihongo|Koharu's parents|小春の両親}}

:Hidaka Shop's operators.

;{{Nihongo|Kotaro Miyao|宮尾 光太郎（みやお こうたろう）|Miyao Kōtarō}}

:{{voiced by|Kazuyuki Okitsu}} (Japanese); Lucien Dodge (English)

:One of Haruo's classmates during junior high and high school who is his best friend. He also enjoys arcades, though not to the same degree as Haruo. He has a knack for attracting the ladies, and is quick to pick up on the bizarre love triangle formed by his classmates.

;{{Nihongo|Reiko Toono|遠野 麗子（とおの れいこ）|Toono Reiko}}

:Haruo's middle school years classroom 2-3 teacher.

;{{Nihongo|Genta Doi|土井 玄太（どい げんた）|Doi Genta}}

:{{voiced by|Daiki Yamashita}} (Japanese); Kyle McCarley (English)

:Haruo's classmate in classroom 6-2 and again in high school. A snobby kid who tries to come off as cultured and suave, his attempts to woo Akira are met with failure. During high school, he begins to hang around Haruo and Miyao.

:

;{{Nihongo|Moemi Goda|業田 萌美（ごうだ もえみ）|Gōda Moemi}}

:{{voiced by|Shizuka Itō}} (Japanese); Cherami Leigh (English)

:The bespectacled official instructor of the Ono household. A totalitarian authoritarian who will stop at nothing to make sure Akira is nothing short of perfect and worthy as an heir to the Ono family name, she is absolutely against any kind of fun within the Ono household, which creates friction amongst its inhabitants. After seeing the effect Haruo's had on Akira and the error of her ways, she begins to relent a little, with emphasis on the word "little". If one doesn't work hard enough, she piles on more work. If one works too hard, she rewards them by piling on more work.

;{{Nihongo| Chihiro Onizuka|鬼塚 ちひろ（おにづか ちひろ）|Onizuka Chihiro}}

:{{voiced by|Daria Mido}} (Japanese); Cristina Vee (English)

:A girl who went to school with Haruo from elementary to junior high, then seen at the same all-girl high school with Koharu. She is grotesque in appearance and crass in demeanor, though she apparently isn't self aware of that. She also has a noticeable lisp.

;{{Nihongo|Namie Yaguchi|矢口 なみえ（やぐち なみえ）|Yaguchi Namie}}

:Haruo's energetic mother. (The disposition of Yagouchi's father is unknown and deliberately never mentioned in the show or anime; he may be deceased, divorced or perhaps simply absent due to work.) Despite his shortcomings, she's very supportive of her son in her own quirky and loving manner. Whenever there's company, she's quick to offer her special stack of "Hotcakes Straight from a Manga".

;{{Nihongo|Jiya|じいや|Jiiya}}

:{{voiced by|Chō}} (Japanese); Joe Ochman (English)

:An elderly man that works as Akira's chauffeur. He is a self-proclaimed pachinko addict, and has a nasty habit of running over Haruo with the family limousine.

;{{Nihongo|Makoto Ono|大野 真（おおの まこと）|Ōno Makoto}}

:{{voiced by|Chinatsu Akasaki}} (Japanese); Cristina Vee (English){{cite episode|title=Round 13|series=High Score Girl|number=1|time=Closing credits, English Language Cast|publisher=Netflix|location=USA}}

:Late in season one, Haruo is shocked to learn that Akira has an older sister, the similar-looking but very different college-age Ono Makoto. Makoto, both flakey and defiant, explicitly rejects the harsh responsibilities of the Ono family. Those responsibilities fall to Akira, when Akira is just a grade-schooler. Conflicted by the effect of her actions, Makoto interacts with the three main characters, the school-friends, and Haruo's mother, in Makoto's attempts to support Akira's side in the final years of the love triangle. The Makoto character oscillates between broad comedy and the most intense moments of the story.

On August 5, 2014, Osaka District Police searched the offices of Square Enix, the publishers of Hi Score Girl, acting on an IP violation claim by SNK Playmore stating that the manga allegedly features over 100 instances of characters from The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, and other fighting games.{{cite web |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-08-06/police-search-square-enix-due-to-manga-allegedly-violating-snk-copyrights/.77341 |title=Police Search Square Enix Due to Manga Allegedly Violating SNK's Copyrights |website=Anime News Network |date=August 6, 2014 |access-date=August 22, 2014 |archive-date=December 6, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206182545/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-08-06/police-search-square-enix-due-to-manga-allegedly-violating-snk-copyrights/.77341 |url-status=live }} In response, Square Enix voluntarily recalled all printed volumes and temporarily suspended publication of future volumes and digital sales.
