Chainsaw Man Characters: A Guide to the Main Cast

Chainsaw Man lives and dies on its cast. Here is a spoiler-light guide to the main characters — who they are and what makes each one unforgettable.

Denji

Denji is the heart of the series: a broke, exploited teenager who merges with his Devil-dog to become Chainsaw Man. His goals are heartbreakingly small — food, sleep, a normal life — which is exactly what makes him so easy to root for.

Power

Power is a Blood Fiend: loud, selfish, hilarious, and slowly, genuinely loyal. Her arc with Denji is one of the most loved relationships in the story.

Makima

Makima is Denji's enigmatic superior in Public Safety, calm and magnetic — and clearly hiding far more than she lets on. She is the gravitational centre of the plot.

Aki Hayakawa

Aki Hayakawa is the serious veteran of the group, contracting dangerous Devils to fight the Gun Devil. His reluctant bond with Denji and Power gives the series its emotional spine.

Kishibe

Kishibe is a grizzled, battle-hardened Devil Hunter regarded as one of the strongest in Public Safety. Standing 194 cm tall with a scarred face and a no-nonsense attitude, he becomes Denji and Power's brutal mentor.

Pochita

Pochita is the Chainsaw Devil in his small dog form — the loyal companion whose sacrifice sets the entire story in motion.
