Made in Abyss is set in the town of Orth, built around the Abyss, an enormous and largely unexplored pit full of strange creatures and ancient relics. Cave raiders who explore it are ranked by the colour of their whistle, with White Whistles at the top. The story follows Riko, an orphan who dreams of becoming a White Whistle like her missing mother, and Reg, a robot boy she finds in the pit. Together they descend layer by layer and meet explorers, guardians and residents of the deep. This page covers 12 characters, from the travelling party to the people they meet across both TV seasons. Profiles describe each character as introduced, without spoilers for later events. Note that despite its soft art style, the series contains intense and sometimes disturbing scenes.
Riko is a 12-year-old orphan and apprentice cave raider at the Belchero Orphanage in Orth. Her mother Lyza is a legendary White Whistle who vanished in the Abyss, and Riko's wish to follow her and reach the bottom drives the whole story. She is curious, energetic and stubborn, loves relics and knows a great deal about the Abyss, and is not above keeping some of her finds to herself. Japanese voice: Miyu Tomita.
Reg is a robot who looks like a young boy and has lost his memory. Riko finds him unconscious in the Abyss and brings him back to the orphanage, where he is passed off as a new child. He feels emotions like a human, has extendable arms, and can fire a powerful beam from his arm that Riko names the Incinerator. Protective and sometimes awkward, he follows Riko down into the Abyss. Japanese voice: Mariya Ise.
Nanachi is a Hollow, a person changed into a rabbit-like form by the Abyss, who lives in a hideout on the fourth layer. Clever and wary of others, Nanachi taught themself to read ancient writing and knows a great deal about surviving in the depths. After helping Riko and Reg at a critical moment, Nanachi joins their journey. The author leaves Nanachi's gender ambiguous. Japanese voice: Shiori Izawa.
Faputa is a figure called the Princess of the Hollows, met on the sixth layer of the Abyss in season 2. She is fierce, proud and very powerful, and her story is tied closely to the part of Reg's past that he cannot remember. Much of what makes her important is revealed gradually during the season, so this profile stays brief. Japanese voice: Misaki Kuno.
Ozen, known as the Immovable, is a White Whistle who runs the Seeker Camp on the second layer of the Abyss. Tall, blunt and intimidating, she has spent most of her life in the pit. She was once Lyza's mentor, which makes her meeting with Riko tense and important. Under her harsh manner she puts Riko and Reg through a hard lesson meant to prepare them for the depths. Japanese voice: Sayaka Ohara.
Marulk is a Blue Whistle and Ozen's young apprentice at the Seeker Camp. Gentle and polite, Marulk wears a blue maid-style outfit and quickly becomes friends with Riko and Reg during their stay at the camp. Marulk looks after the camp's daily tasks and is one of the kindest faces the travellers meet on the way down. Japanese voice: Aki Toyosaki.
Lyza, called the Annihilator, is Riko's mother and one of the most famous White Whistles of Orth. She is a former apprentice of Ozen and disappeared during a descent into the Abyss, leaving Riko behind in the orphanage. Although she appears mostly in memories and stories told by others, her legend shapes Riko's goals and the people Riko meets. Japanese voice: Maaya Sakamoto.
Mitty is a creature who lives with Nanachi in their hideout on the fourth layer. Mitty cannot speak and behaves a little like a pet, staying close to Nanachi, who cares for Mitty deeply. Their history together is one of the most emotional parts of season 1, and it explains much of why Nanachi is so guarded with strangers. Japanese voice: Eri Kitamura.
Prushka is Bondrewd's adopted daughter, who has lived her whole life at Ido Front on the fifth layer. Bright and affectionate, she calls Bondrewd Papa and longs for adventures beyond the base. When Riko and Reg arrive she quickly befriends them, especially Riko, and dreams of exploring the Abyss alongside her new friends. She appears in the film Dawn of the Deep Soul. Japanese voice: Inori Minase.
Vueko, whose full name is Vueloeluko, is a young woman who joins the Ganja expedition in the flashback story of season 2. She prefers to be called Vueko. The season follows her experiences as the Ganja descend into the Abyss in search of the Golden City, and her memories help explain the place Riko and Reg reach on the sixth layer. Japanese voice: Yuka Terasaki.
Wazukyan is the captain of the Ganja fleet, the band of explorers who set out to find the Golden City in the flashbacks of season 2. Charismatic and calculating, he leads the group into the Abyss and keeps them moving through dangerous territory. His decisions shape much of what Riko and Reg later discover on the sixth layer. Japanese voice: Hiroaki Hirata.
Bondrewd is a White Whistle with a troubling reputation who runs Ido Front, a research base on the fifth layer of the Abyss. He wears a full-face helmet, speaks calmly and is dedicated to studying the Abyss at any cost. His methods put him in direct conflict with Nanachi, Riko and Reg, and he is the main antagonist of the film Dawn of the Deep Soul. Japanese voice: Toshiyuki Morikawa.
