Guide › Anime › Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion › Code Geass
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is set in an alternate world where the Holy Britannian Empire has conquered Japan and renamed it Area 11, with the Japanese now called Elevens. Lelouch, an exiled Britannian prince living as an ordinary student, receives a mysterious power called Geass from a girl known only as C.C. and starts a rebellion under the masked identity of Zero. The cast falls into a few clear groups: the students of Ashford Academy, the Japanese resistance that grows into the Black Knights, the soldiers of the Britannian army, and the princes and princesses of the imperial family. This page covers 16 characters as they are first introduced, with no deaths, betrayals, hidden identities or endings revealed.
Lelouch Lamperouge is the protagonist, a brilliant student at Ashford Academy who hides that he is an exiled prince of Britannia. After receiving the Geass, which lets him give anyone a single absolute order, he puts on a mask and leads a revolt against the empire as Zero. He is proud, strategic and fiercely protective of his younger sister. Japanese voice: Jun Fukuyama.
C.C. is a mysterious young woman who grants Lelouch the power of Geass in exchange for a promise she refuses to explain. She moves into his life without asking, eats pizza constantly and teases him at every turn, yet she knows far more about Geass than anyone else around him. Her past and real goal stay hidden for a long time. Japanese voice: Yukana.
Kallen Kozuki is a classmate of Lelouch who acts like a frail, quiet girl at school while secretly fighting in the Japanese resistance. She is half Britannian and half Japanese and chooses to stand with Japan. A skilled Knightmare pilot with a short temper, she becomes one of Zero's most important fighters in the Black Knights. Japanese voice: Ami Koshimizu.
Suzaku Kururugi is Lelouch's childhood friend and the son of Japan's last prime minister. Instead of fighting Britannia from outside, he joins its army as an honorary Britannian, believing the system can only be changed from within. He becomes the pilot of an advanced Knightmare Frame, which puts him on the opposite side of the battlefield from Zero. Japanese voice: Takahiro Sakurai.
Nunnally Lamperouge is Lelouch's younger sister. She cannot see and uses a wheelchair, and she lives quietly with her brother at Ashford Academy, hidden from the imperial family. She is gentle and kind and wishes for a peaceful, gentler world. Almost everything Lelouch does as Zero is driven by his wish to give her a safe future. Japanese voice: Kaori Nazuka.
Shirley Fenette is a cheerful member of the Ashford Academy student council and of the swimming club. She has a crush on Lelouch and keeps trying, without much luck, to get his attention. Warm, honest and a little clumsy, she represents the everyday school life that Lelouch tries to protect while he leads his secret war. Japanese voice: Fumiko Orikasa.
Milly Ashford is the president of the student council and the granddaughter of the academy's principal. She loves throwing loud festivals and odd events for the whole school and drags everyone into them. Her family took in Lelouch and Nunnally after they lost their place at court, so she knows more about their situation than most. Japanese voice: Sayaka Ohara.
Rivalz Cardemonde is a student council member and Lelouch's closest friend at school. He rides a motorbike with a sidecar and is usually the one giving Lelouch a lift around the Tokyo Settlement when he needs to slip away. Easygoing and talkative, he has a soft spot for Milly and brings a relaxed, comic tone to the school scenes. Japanese voice: Noriaki Sugiyama.
Kaname Ohgi leads a small Japanese resistance cell in the Tokyo Settlement when the story begins. He is a former teacher and a decent, cautious man rather than a ruthless fighter, and Kallen is one of his members. When Zero appears and proves his tactics work, Ohgi decides to follow him and becomes a senior figure in the Black Knights. Japanese voice: Mitsuaki Madono.
Kyoshiro Tohdoh is a respected Japanese officer, famous as the only commander who won a battle against Britannia during the invasion of Japan. Calm, disciplined and loyal to his people, he leads four elite pilots of the Japan Liberation Front. He was also Suzaku's martial arts teacher when Suzaku was a boy. Japanese voice: Yūji Takada.
Euphemia li Britannia is the Third Princess and Cornelia's younger sister. Unlike most of her family, she is kind and openly believes that Britannians and Japanese can live as equals. She is often seen with a grey cat named Arthur. Idealistic and sometimes naive, she wants to solve problems through talks rather than war. Japanese voice: Omi Minami.
Lloyd Asplund is an eccentric Britannian scientist who heads a special engineering unit. He designed the Lancelot, an experimental Knightmare Frame, and chooses Suzaku as its pilot because of his skill, not his rank. He cares much more about his machines than about politics and often says strange, tactless things. Japanese voice: Tetsu Shiratori.
Cornelia li Britannia is the Second Princess of the empire and one of its most feared generals. She arrives in Area 11 to crush the resistance and hunt down Zero, leading her troops from the front in her own Knightmare. Strict, proud and very capable, she is also deeply protective of her younger sister Euphemia. Japanese voice: Junko Minagawa.
Schneizel el Britannia is the Second Prince and the empire's prime minister. Polite, smiling and always composed, he is considered one of the sharpest minds in Britannia and a natural rival for Lelouch in strategy. He also backs the special research team that builds the experimental Knightmare Frame used by Suzaku. Japanese voice: Norihiro Inoue.
Clovis la Britannia is the Third Prince of the empire and the Viceroy ruling Area 11 at the start of the series. He enjoys painting and sees himself as a refined artist, but he governs the occupied territory harshly. He knew Lelouch and Nunnally when they were children at the imperial court. Japanese voice: Nobuo Tobita.
Charles zi Britannia is the 98th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire and the father of Lelouch and his many half-siblings. He openly preaches that people are not equal and that the strong should rule. His cold treatment of Lelouch and Nunnally after their mother's death is the root of Lelouch's anger against the empire. Japanese voice: Norio Wakamoto.
