Guide › Anime › Classroom of the Elite › Classroom of the Elite characters
Classroom of the Elite is set at the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, a government-run school that promises its top graduates the university or job of their choice. Students are split into four ranked classes, A to D, and the classes compete for points that decide who ends up on top. The story follows Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, a quiet boy placed in Class D, the lowest-ranked class, where most of his classmates were never told how much their behaviour would cost them. This page covers 16 characters: eight members of Class D, the leaders and key students of Classes A, B and C, the student council president and the teacher in charge of Class D. Everyone is described as they appear in the first year, without later reveals.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is the protagonist, a first-year student in Class D. He looks unmotivated and a little socially awkward, avoids attention and claims to be average in every subject. Yet he keeps ending up at the centre of his class's problems, usually working quietly through other people rather than taking credit. Most of the story is seen through his calm, detached eyes. Japanese voice: Shōya Chiba; Brazilian dub: Lucas Almeida.
Suzune Horikita sits next to Ayanokoji in Class D. She is smart, proud and openly uninterested in making friends, and at first she treats her classmates as dead weight. She is wary of Ayanokoji but ends up working with him more than anyone else. She has a tense relationship with her older brother, the student council president. Japanese voice: Akari Kitō; Brazilian dub: Bruna Nogueira.
Kikyo Kushida is one of the most popular girls in Class D, cheerful and friendly to everyone. She sets herself the goal of befriending every student in the school and is often the first to talk to newcomers, including Ayanokoji and Horikita. Her easy charm makes her a natural link between groups in the class. Japanese voice: Yurika Kubo; Brazilian dub: Jullie.
Kei Karuizawa is a fashionable, outspoken girl in Class D who quickly becomes one of the leading voices among its girls. She can be sharp-tongued and demanding with classmates she does not respect. Over the first year her role in the class grows far beyond first impressions, and she becomes one of the series' central characters. Japanese voice: Ayana Taketatsu; Brazilian dub: Stephany Custodi.
Honami Ichinose is the representative of Class B, a kind and admired student who is always ready to help others, even students from rival classes. Her classmates trust her and follow her lead. She treats Ayanokoji and Horikita warmly and prefers to compete fairly, which makes her stand out in a school full of schemers. Japanese voice: Nao Tōyama; Brazilian dub: Amanda Tavares.
Arisu Sakayanagi is a leading figure in Class A. She walks with a cane, but she is one of the sharpest minds in the school and treats the competition between the classes like a game she fully expects to win. Polite, smiling and quietly confident, she enjoys testing the people around her and watching how they react under pressure. Japanese voice: Rina Hidaka.
Kohei Katsuragi is one of the most respected students in Class A and a natural figure of authority among his classmates. He is cautious, serious and dependable, and he takes full responsibility for the people who follow him. His careful, defensive style often clashes with the more aggressive players in the school. Japanese voice: Satoshi Hino.
Mio Ibuki is a Class C student and a skilled martial artist. She is blunt, prickly and dislikes Ryuen's methods and reputation, yet she still ends up carrying out his plans. Her fighting skill and stubbornness make her a recurring obstacle for Class D in the first year. Japanese voice: Mikako Komatsu; Brazilian dub: Mari Guedes.
Sae Chabashira is the homeroom teacher of Class D. On the first day she explains the points system, then lets her students find out the hard way what wasting points means. She is cold, distant and rarely seems to care about her class, which makes her intentions hard to read. Japanese voice: Rina Satō; Brazilian dub: Shallana Costa.
Airi Sakura is a shy Class D student who does everything she can to avoid standing out. Before high school she worked as a model, a side of her life she keeps to herself. She is quiet and anxious around people, but in the first season she turns out to be an important witness when a classmate is accused of starting a fight. Japanese voice: M・A・O; Brazilian dub: Eliane Flexa.
Ken Sudo is a tall, athletic boy in Class D with a short temper and poor grades. His habit of picking fights and skipping study puts the whole class at risk under the points system, and in the first season he is accused after a clash with Class C students. He slowly learns to rely on Horikita and Ayanokoji. Japanese voice: Eiji Takeuchi; Brazilian dub: Leandro Loureiro.
Yosuke Hirata is one of the most capable students in Class D: good-looking, kind and well liked. From the first weeks he acts as the class's peacemaker and informal leader, trying to keep everyone together and avoid conflict. Why such a strong student ended up in the lowest class is one of the early questions. Japanese voice: Ryōta Ōsaka; Brazilian dub: Carloz Magno.
Rokusuke Koenji comes from an influential family and is the most self-centred student in Class D. He is arrogant, theatrical and physically gifted, and he does only what interests him, ignoring class strategy whenever he likes. His talent is obvious, but getting him to cooperate is another matter entirely. Japanese voice: Toshiki Iwasawa.
Hiyori Shiina is a gentle, soft-spoken student in Class C who loves books. She and Ayanokoji bond over their shared love of reading, which makes theirs one of the few calm friendships in a tense school. She stays somewhat apart from the rough style of her class's leadership. Japanese voice: Rie Takahashi.
Manabu Horikita is a third-year student in Class A, the student council president and Suzune's older brother. He is serious, composed and widely respected, and he holds his younger sister to a very high standard, which strains their relationship. He takes an early interest in Ayanokoji. Japanese voice: Yūichirō Umehara.
Kakeru Ryuen controls Class C through fear and runs it much like a gang boss. He uses threats, tricks and anything else that works, and he openly enjoys pushing the rules to their limits. In the first year he is the most aggressive rival Class D faces, and he is determined to find out who is really pulling the strings there. Japanese voice: Masaaki Mizunaka; Brazilian dub: Bruno Sangregório.
