Characters
- Gawl Kudo
- Nobutoshi Hayashi (Japanese) Vic Mignogna (English)
The hero and main character of the story, Gawl is a Generator with vast power. Though he appears somewhat dim-witted, Gawl shows loyalty and protectiveness for his friends, even if it means putting his life on the line. Even when out of his Generator form Gawl is able to display superhuman feats of athletics, strength, and endurance, such as jumping several meters in the air, and surviving an otherwise crushing blow from falling construction equipment. Despite this, he appears to be very lax and lazy, as he is almost always asleep during classes and car rides, as his transformations and brawls tend to be highly taxing, thus requiring large amounts of sleep and relaxation to compensate. This also implies that he is not as dim-witted as he lets on.
- Koji Suzuki
- Tsutomu Kashiwakura (Japanese) Jay Hickman (English)
Koji is the level-headed one of the trio and a true intellectual. He rarely displays much emotion at all and only laughs one time in the series.
- Ryo
- Shinichiro Miki (Japanese) Matt Kelley (English)
Ryo is the more sensitive of the three, but he is also quite brilliant. He was head of Kubere's Project Achilles to create Gawl and feels intense guilt for his experiments on Gawl.
- Masami
- Satsuki Yukino (Japanese) Rozie Curtis (English)
A red-haired girl who met up with the three early on in the series. Masami constantly fights with Gawl due to a poor first impression. Though this may be, it is quite obvious that she has somewhat of a romantic interest in him.
- Natsume
- Konami Yoshida (Japanese) Monica Rial (English)
A pink-haired girl who is extremely shy and Masami's best friend. She constantly attempts to calm Gawl and Masami down when they get in a heated conflict but never succeeds.
- Ryuko Saito
- Yuriko Yamaguchi (Japanese) Kaytha Coker (English)
The antagonist of the story, Saito is a mysterious scientist and time-traveler who attempts to thwart Gawl, Koji, and Ryo. She uses Dr. Tekuma Nekasa's desire to recover his past to bend him to her will. She is constantly calling Generators to do her dirty work and often tries to kill or capture Gawl and his friends.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
