{{Nihongo|Rin Okumura|奥村 燐|Okumura Rin}} is the fifteen-year-old son of Satan, born to a human woman and inheriting his father's demonic powers, which were sealed at birth into the sword {{Nihongo|Kurikara|倶利伽羅}} by Mephisto Pheles.{{gnr|ch|1}} This allows Rin to live a human life with his twin brother Yukio and foster father Shiro Fujimoto until the seal breaks, triggering Satan's attempt to drag him back to Gehenna and resulting in Shiro's death. Enrolling at True Cross Academy under Mephisto, Rin trains as an exorcist to master his flames and confront Satan, striving to earn Yukio's respect and prove his humanity.{{gnr|ch|2}}

Drawing Kurikara transforms Rin into his demonic form, unleashing destructive blue flames that initially overwhelm him.{{gnr|ch|9}} With training from the spirit Kongo Ucchusma, he gains control over his power,{{gnr|ch|32}} while his familiar, the two-tailed cat-sìth Kuro, aids him.{{gnr|ch|8}} After Yukio awakens Satan's power in his own eyes and attacks Rin, the latter's demonic side briefly takes over, nearly killing his allies before he regains control—an event that permanently shifts his appearance closer to Satan's.

:{{Voiced by|Ryuichi Kijima (vomic), Jun Fukuyama (anime)|Johnny Yong Bosch}}

:{{Portrayed by|Kimito Totani}}

{{Nihongo|Yukio Okumura|奥村 雪男|Okumura Yukio}} is Rin's fraternal twin brother. Though initially believed to share Satan's power, Yukio was born fully human due to his frail body, with Rin inheriting all of their father's demonic traits.{{gnr|ch|1}} However, a spiritual wound from Rin at birth granted Yukio permanent awareness of demons. Trained secretly as an exorcist since childhood by Shiro Fujimoto to protect Rin, Yukio becomes a prodigy, achieving the rank of Meister in both Dragoon and Doctor classes while still a first-year student at True Cross Academy, where he teaches Anti-Demon Pharmacology.{{gnr|ch|2}}

Despite his early affection for Rin, Yukio grows resentful, blaming him for Fujimoto's death and envying his demonic power. Though he later reconciles somewhat, he fears Rin's recklessness will unleash his demonic nature. During a battle with Todo, Yukio awakens latent flames in his eyes—revealing his own partial inheritance of Satan's power—which drives him to uncover the truth of his birth. Convinced Fujimoto only raised him as a weapon, he joins the Illuminati in a mix of obsession and jealousy.

In the anime, it is changed so that he has the powers of Satan.

:{{Portrayed by|Ari Nakajima}}

{{Nihongo|Shiemi Moriyama|杜山 しえみ|Moriyama Shiemi}} is the daughter of an exorcist shop owner who spent her youth confined to her home, tending gardens with her grandmother. After Rin and Yukio exorcise a life-draining demon following her grandmother's death, she enrolls at True Cross Academy to become an exorcist.{{gnr|ch|3}} Initially struggling academically due to using homemade plant names, she improves after learning proper terminology. Though shy at first, she gradually befriends Ryuji, Konekomaru, Renzo, and even the initially hostile Izumo.

As a talented Tamer, Shiemi commands a Greenman spirit capable of producing healing herbs and plant-based barriers with exceptional stamina. She reconciles with Rin during the Kyoto mission after initial distress over his hidden demonic nature.{{gnr|ch|26}} While initially confused about romantic feelings due to her sheltered upbringing, she later realizes her love for Rin after nearly losing him.

:{{Voiced by|Kazuya Nakai|Kyle Hebert}}

:{{Portrayed by|Yūki Tomotsune}}

{{Nihongo|Ryuji Suguro|勝呂 竜士|Suguro Ryūji}}, nicknamed {{Nihongo|"Bon"|坊}}, is a hot-tempered but diligent student who ranks first in his class. As heir to Kyoto's destroyed Cursed Temple, he vows to defeat Satan and rebuild his family's legacy, resenting his father Tatsuma for perceived failures.{{gnr|ch|4}} Initially rejecting Rin after learning his demonic heritage, Ryuji later reconciles after realizing his anger stemmed from Rin's lack of trust in their friendship.{{gnr|ch|26}}

During the Impure King crisis, Ryuji inherits the phoenix-like familiar Karura from his father, using its powerful flames to create protective barriers against the demon's miasma.{{gnr|ch|27}} Currently an Esquire training for dual Meister ranks in Aria and Dragoon, he becomes Lightning's apprentice after losing his sense of purpose.

:{{Voiced by|Kōji Yusa|Brian Beacock}}

:{{Portrayed by|Kazuki Watanabe}}

{{Nihongo|Renzo Shima|志摩 廉造|Shima Renzō}} presents himself as a carefree, woman-obsessed student—a persona masking his true capabilities. The pink-haired (naturally black-haired) Kyoto Temple orphan remains fiercely loyal to childhood friends Bon and Konekomaru. He quickly accepts Rin's demonic heritage, finding exclusion too troublesome. Though flippant about his studies, he seriously trains with his khakkhara staff to become an Aria Meister.

Renzo's facade shatters when he reveals unexpected power to summon high-level demons, though the effort exhausts him. Initially exposed as an Illuminati spy, his brother later claims Renzo was Mephisto's double agent all along. While rejoining his friends, his true allegiance remains ambiguous—his playful demeanor persistently obscuring whether he ever truly abandoned the Illuminati cause.

:{{Voiced by|Yuki Kaji|Miki Moran}}

:{{Portrayed by|Jun Muruyama}}

{{Nihongo|Konekomaru Miwa|三輪 子猫丸|Miwa Konekomaru}} is a timid but brilliant individual, able to come up with complex strategies in a short window of time. He is very loyal to Ryuji and Renzo, as they had grown up together at the same Temple in Kyoto. He is kind to everyone, but it takes a long time for him to reconcile with Rin after discovering his secret, despite seeing his true character.{{gnr|ch|26}} He is an orphan and the surviving head of the Miwa family. He plans to achieve the Meister in Aria. In the anime, a crow demon took advantage of Konekomaru's fear of Rin and possessed him, before Rin is able to save Konekomaru.

:{{Voiced by|Eri Kitamura|Kira Buckland}}

:{{Portrayed by|Anna Hachimine.}}

{{Nihongo|Izumo Kamiki|神木 出雲|Kamiki Izumo}} comes from a lineage of Inari shrine maidens and excels academically, though her tsundere personality makes her difficult to approach. Only her childhood friend Noriko Paku broke through her defensive shell.{{gnr|ch|5}} Despite her pride, she becomes the first classmate to accept Rin after learning his heritage.

A talented Tamer-in-training, Izumo commands two ancestral fox spirits. Her painful past reveals the Kamiki family's pact with a nine-tailed fox demon—a burden her mother bore to protect her. Tricked by the Illuminati into becoming the fox's next vessel to save her sister Tsukumo, Izumo nearly sacrifices herself until her mother's final act of love breaks the cycle. This trauma teaches Izumo to value her academy friendships and move forward from self-pity after learning Tsukumo found happiness elsewhere.

The {{Nihongo4|True Cross Order|正十字騎士團|Sei Jūji Kishidan}} is the main organization of Exorcists within the series, a global exorcist institution that is controlled by the Vatican. The True Cross Order has roots in Christianity, and was founded by medieval Christian knights. Originally established as a military order, the organization's centuries-long campaign against demons has allowed it to discover and develop new exorcism techniques from all around the globe. As of today, the Order is the largest and most powerful exorcist organization in the world. Given that they have defended mankind from demons for roughly 2000 years, the Order trains exorcists. In addition, the Order takes it upon itself to heal humans who have been harmed by demons, as well as to proactively investigate possible demonic activity. An additional mission of the True Cross Order is to find and destroy human organizations that support demons and demonic activity, such as Demon Eaters or the Illuminati.

:{{Voiced by|Hiroshi Kamiya|Sam Riegel}}

:{{Portrayed by|Yūya Nakahara}}

{{Nihongo|Mephisto Pheles|メフィスト・フェレス|Mefisuto Feresu}}, publicly known as {{Nihongo|Johann Faust V|ヨハン·ファウスト第五|Yohan Fausuto Daigo}}, serves as True Cross Academy's eccentric chairman. Despite his flamboyant {{Transliteration|ja|otaku}} persona and penny-pinching habits, he wields significant influence as an Honorary Knight. He spares Rin after Shiro Fujimoto's death, enrolling him instead of executing him per orders.{{gnr|ch|1}}

As the demon king Samael, "King of Time", Mephisto ranks second only to Lucifer in Gehenna's hierarchy. His temporal powers manifest through reality-warping abilities like transformation and spatial manipulation. While claiming to pursue peace between Assiah and Gehenna, his true agenda remains ambiguous—he subtly manipulates events around Rin while maintaining his human facade. His German chants ("Eins, zwei, drei") and fourth-wall-breaking philosophical musings hint at his ancient, calculating nature beneath the playful exterior.

His name is derived from Mephistopheles, a demon from the German legend of Faust.

:{{Portrayed by|Yasuhiko Imai}}

{{Nihongo|Shiro Fujimoto|藤本 獅郎|Fujimoto Shirō}} was a Catholic priest, Paladin of the True Cross Order, and foster father to Rin and Yukio Okumura. As the organization's strongest exorcist (holding Meister ranks in five classes), he wielded the demon-slaying sword Kurikara alongside his familiar Kuro, a cait sith.{{gnr|ch|24}} After sealing Rin's demonic powers at birth, he raised both twins as his own.

Shiro's origins trace back to Section 13's cloning experiments—he was an Azazel clone created as a potential vessel for Lucifer. Having escaped the facility with Yuri Egin, he later fell in love with her despite initially rejecting her feelings. His unique ability to resist Satan's possession ultimately failed when Rin's emotional outburst weakened his resolve, allowing Satan to take control.{{gnr|ch|2}} In his final act, Shiro regained momentary control to commit suicide, preventing Satan's plans while tragically fracturing his sons' relationship.{{gnr|ch|1}}

:{{Voiced by|Rina Satō|Wendee Lee}}

{{Nihongo|Shura Kirigakure|霧隠 シュラ|Kirigakure Shura}} is an Upper First Class Exorcist who trained under Shiro Fujimoto, achieving Meister rank in Knight. Her signature technique summons a demonic sword from a chest tattoo by chanting "Devour the Eight Princesses, slay the Serpent". Despite her revealing attire and carefree demeanor—marked by heavy drinking and chronic lateness—she possesses formidable combat skills rivaling demon kings like Amaimon.{{gnr|ch|10}}

Bound by her ancestor's pact with a snake deity, Shura faces an early death at 30 unless she produces an heir. Initially assigned to eliminate Rin as part of her investigation into Mephisto's activities, she instead honors Shiro's legacy by training Rin to control his powers. Her true mission involves monitoring Mephisto's suspicious activities within the Japanese branch.

:{{Voiced by|Ryōtarō Okiayu|Patrick Seitz}}

{{Nihongo|Igor Neugauss|イゴール・ネイガウス|Igōru Neigaus}} is an Upper First Class Exorcist as well as lecturer in the academy, who obtained the titles of Tamer, Doctor and Aria. He wears an eyepatch over his left eye, and has Aria incantations and magic circles tattooed on both arms. He had a run-in with Satan when he was younger, which robbed him of his family and the sight in his left eye, which is why he holds immense hatred for Satan and demons that are related to Satan. Yet ironically, he is extremely loyal to Mephisto, willing to listen to his every command, which is why he stopped his attacks on Rin prior to the latter becoming an Exorcist.

In the anime, he ends up the suspect for the Masked Man attacks on those allied with Rin; however, the truth is much worse. "Someone" used a demon to bring his wife, Michelle, back to life, and her mental instability at the horrible memory of the Blue Night caused her to attack anything related to Satan, even the friends of his sons.

{{Nihongo|Arthur Auguste Angel|アーサー・オーギュスト・エンジェル|Āsā Ōgyusuto Enjeru}} is the newly appointed Paladin. He was ordered by the Grigori to interrogate Mephisto and capture Rin as evidence. Arthur is a respected Exorcist with dubious ethics, as said by Shura to be like a saint on the outside but really a devil inside. He uses the sentient demon sword Caliburn. When speaking, Caliburn shows extreme affection towards him and talks like a love-struck teenage girl. Arthur has a great dislike of Rin (simply because of his lineage), being annoyed that the son of Satan destroyed the Impure King. Arthur is a terrible liar, and hinted to be somewhat of an idiot (by Shura) since he always lets Lightning do the thinking for him. In the spin-off, Salaryman Exorcist, it is shown that Arthur has an immense distaste for dirty objects getting near him and draws Caliburn to eliminate the dirt. In the anime, Arthur is replaced by Yukio when Ernst takes over the Vatican.

{{Nihongo|Nemu Takara|宝 ねむ|Takara Nemu}} is a quiet and mysterious character that carries around a sock puppet. He uses ventriloquism to talk and he is usually rude. Although initially posing as an Esquire, Nemu's powers are revealed to be equivalent to that of an upper first class Exorcist. He is hired by Mephisto as a 'moderator' for the cram students. It is suggested Nemu's puppet is sentient and is actually the one controlling his body, since it was telling Nemu to calm down; adding to this is that Nemu's eyes are usually seen closed, suggesting that he is in a trance.

:{{Voiced by|Tetsuya Kakihara|Darrel Guilbeau}}

:{{Portrayed by|Yūki Tamaki}}

{{Nihongo|Amaimon|アマイモン}}, the Earth King and seventh-strongest of the Eight Demon Kings, wields control over land and earthquakes. This eccentric son of Satan develops an obsession with Rin after their first battle, contrasting his initial disinterest. When defeated in the anime, he's transformed into a talking green hamster confined to Mephisto's office. The manga depicts Mephisto restraining him in another dimension until his violent urges subside.

Allowed to attend True Cross Academy as Mephisto's "nephew", Amaimon joins Shiemi's class while maintaining his childish temperament—easily offended by laughter or neglect, yet constantly sucking on lollipops. His oddities include mentioning an occult-obsessed cousin who collects human eyes. Though destructive by nature, he begrudgingly complies with temporary pacifism to remain in the human world.

{{Nihongo|Saburota Todo|藤堂 三郎太|Tōdō Saburōta}} is a former Upper Second Class exorcist, teacher at the Exorcist Cram School, and Director of the Saishinbu, an area of the True Cross Academy containing dangerous artifacts including Right and Left Eyes of the Impure King. He is sly and skillfully manipulates others to achieve his still-unknown goals. After stealing the Left Eye of the Impure King, he officially left the True Cross Order. He can take control of demons and use their abilities. He seems to be interested in Yukio's development due to him being a son of Satan, and even attempted to convince him to kill Rin. After gaining Karura's power, his physical appearance became younger.

{{Nihongo|Satan|サタン}}, lord of demons, seeks dominion over Assiah. Originally a spirit called Rinka without ego, he developed consciousness after possessing a clone from the Asylum facility. Through Yuri Egin's influence and Shiro Fujimoto's intervention, he evolved into the arrogant being now known as Satan, viewing himself as a god above all life.{{gnr|ch|1}}

Father to both demon kings (Mephisto, Amaimon, Lucifer) and human-demon hybrids (Rin and Yukio), Satan's obsession with Yuri led to his temporary abandonment of conquest. After the Order captured and experimented on his weakened form, he later attempts to use Shiro and Yukio as vessels to manifest in Assiah. The anime adaptation reveals his genuine affection for Yuri and their shared dream of human-demon coexistence, suggesting their sons might fulfill this vision.

{{Nihongo|Yuri Egin|ユリ・エギン}}, mother of Rin and Yukio Okumura, was a compassionate Lower Second Class Exorcist specializing as a Tamer. Unlike her peers, she refused combat roles, preferring to care for demons at the Demon Farm. Her kindness profoundly impacted both Shiro Fujimoto—whose heart she softened despite his initial rejection of her love—and the spirit Rinka, who later became Satan.

After Satan possessed a clone from Section 13, Yuri became his caretaker, maintaining faith in his redemption even as he transformed into a megalomaniacal being. Their relationship produced twin sons, though their attempted escape from the Order led to Yuri's capture and branding as a witch. She defiantly protected her pregnancy despite persecution. The anime adaptation emphasizes her belief in demon-human coexistence, showing how her empathy allowed Satan's initial possession and their tragic romance.

{{Nihongo|Kuro|クロ}} is a two-tailed cat sith who serves as Rin Okumura's familiar, previously belonging to Shiro Fujimoto.

After Fujimoto's death, Kuro briefly rampages at True Cross Academy until Rin calms him, forming a new bond. As Rin's familiar, Kuro retains his role as one of the academy's guardians. His dual tails and ancient origins mark him as a spiritually significant being, bridging the human and demon worlds.
