Kakegurui is set at Hyakkaou Private Academy, an elite school where the children of wealthy families are ranked by how well they gamble rather than by their grades. Students who lose heavily and fall into debt are labelled "house pets" and treated as the lowest rung of the school. The story follows Yumeko Jabami, a transfer student who looks polite and gentle but comes alive when the stakes rise, together with her classmates Ryota Suzui and Mary Saotome. Most of her opponents sit on the student council, led by president Kirari Momobami, where each member runs a committee and a signature game. In the second season the Momobami clan, the family network behind the council, adds a new set of rivals. This page covers 13 characters: the three classmates, nine council members and one clan heir.
Yumeko Jabami is the protagonist, a transfer student who arrives at Hyakkaou with a gentle manner and a polite smile. Underneath is an intense love of high-stakes gambling: she plays for the thrill rather than the money. She hates rigged games and tends to turn them against whoever set them up. Saori Hayami voices her in Japanese.
Mary Saotome is Yumeko's classmate and one of the strongest gamblers in the room when the story opens. Competitive and protective of her status, she becomes Yumeko's first opponent and later one of her most outspoken allies. She is also the lead of the spin-off Kakegurui Twin. Minami Tanaka voices her in Japanese.
Ryota Suzui is the class president and the first student Yumeko meets. He is a poor gambler who has fallen into debt and carries the house pet label because of it. Kind and loyal, he works as the viewer's eyes, reacting with alarm to Yumeko's bets and trying to keep her out of the riskiest games. Tatsuya Tokutake voices him.
Sayaka Igarashi is the student council secretary and Kirari's most loyal supporter. Serious, organised and always at the president's side, she handles the council's day-to-day business and defends every decision Kirari makes in front of other members and students. For Sayaka, protecting the president comes before any gamble of her own. Ayaka Fukuhara voices her in Japanese.
Kaede Manyuda is the student council treasurer. Ambitious, bespectacled and rigid, he wants to become president himself and pursues that goal with great seriousness. He is quick to question other people's methods and sees Yumeko as an obstacle. He is one of the central rivals of the first season. Tomokazu Sugita voices him in Japanese.
Midari Ikishima heads the Beautification Committee and is one of the most unpredictable council members. She is drawn to games where the risk is real, such as variations of Russian roulette, and takes an interest in Yumeko because she sees the same hunger for excitement in her. She wears an eyepatch and acts on impulse. Mariya Ise voices her.
Itsuki Sumeragi is a council member, the daughter of a toy company's CEO and an expert at card games. Proud and confident, she is one of the first council members to challenge Yumeko, in a memory card game called Double Concentration. Later she becomes part of the circle of classmates around Yumeko. Yuki Wakai voices her in Japanese.
Yuriko Nishinotouin sits on the student council and runs the Traditional Culture Research Society. Quiet and calculating, she keeps an elegant manner while hosting a roulette-style game called "Life or Death", where students place large bets. She welcomes Yumeko politely but plays to win. Karin Nanami voices her in Japanese.
Yumemi Yumemite handles public relations for the student council and works as an idol outside school. She dreams of a huge entertainment career and treats every gamble as a stage show, complete with audience, cameras and songs. She challenges Yumeko to a tic-tac-toe game run like a TV variety show. Yū Serizawa voices her in Japanese.
Rin Obami is the heir of the Obami family, one of the branches of the Momobami clan, and arrives in the second season. On the surface he is friendly, polite and eager to help, which makes him easy to trust among the newcomers. His role grows once the clan starts competing for control of the school. Akira Ishida voices him in Japanese.
Ririka Momobami is the student council vice-president, usually seen standing beside Kirari with a mask covering her face. She speaks little and rarely leads a game herself, which makes her one of the more mysterious figures at school. She shares Kirari's looks but has a very different style. Miyuki Sawashiro also voices her in Japanese.
Runa Yomozuki leads the student council's Election Committee and is almost always seen playing video games and teasing other students. She looks young, has a sharp sense of humour and presents herself as strictly neutral, since she runs the school's official contests. She becomes a regular presence in the second season. Mayu Udono voices her.
Kirari Momobami is the student council president and the main antagonist of the school. She won her post through an extremely high-stakes gamble and created the house pet system. Calm, cold and hard to read, she treats Hyakkaou like a private game board. She belongs to the powerful Momobami clan. Miyuki Sawashiro voices her in Japanese.
