The D.Gray-man anime and manga series features a diverse cast of characters created by Katsura Hoshino. The series is set on a fictional Earth at the end of a nineteenth century where the Black Order wages war against the Millennium Earl who intends to destroy humanity with his army of Akuma, weapons created from the souls of the deceased when their loved ones curse God for their loss. To aid in their efforts, the Black Order scours the world for the 109 pieces of a divine substance called Innocence, which has been washed away during the Great Flood, and for people who can use anti-Akuma weapons, the Innocence in its weaponized form. These people, called Exorcists, are able to effectively fight against and destroy the Akuma. One Innocence, referred to as the "Great Heart" will assure their victory. However, the Earl is also looking for the Innocence and the Heart with the intent to destroy them.
The main character of the series is Allen Walker, a young Exorcist who recently joined the Black Order after training with his master General Cross Marian. When presenting himself to the organization, he is mistaken for an enemy and is attacked by another Exorcist, Yu Kanda. However, once the mistake is realized, Lenalee Lee prevents any Kanda from causing further mishap. Once inside the headquarters, Allen learns he is the prophesied "Destroyer of Time" who is the only one who can defeat the Millennium Earl. As the series progresses, Allen meets many of the members of the Black Order headquarters as well as those in other branches worldwide. He eventually meets a young, aspiring bookman called Lavi and his predecessor Bookman, who follow Allen on his adventures to witness and record the events for the bookman's record. Allen also encounters the antagonist the Millennium Earl, his Akuma army, and the Noah Family, a group of humans who aid the Earl in his plot to destroy humanity.

Katsura Hoshino's pilot Zone featured many similar characters, especially characters similar to Allen, the Earl, Lenalee, and General Cross. Many other characters are also "leftovers" from such previous, and sometimes unpublished, works.[1][2] In addition, members of the cast are modeled and named after real people such as scientists and in Timcanpy's case, the silver accessory brand Timcanpi.[3][4][5][6] The character Bak Chan was created with the help of Kaya Kizaki, who wrote the D.Gray-man Reverse novels.[7]
Allen Walker (アレン・ウォーカー Aren Wōkā?) is a 15-year-old Exorcist of British origin and the main protagonist of the series.[8] Allen was abandoned by his biological parents because of the supposed "deformity" of his left arm and later adopted by Mana Walker. Later, Mana died and Allen turned him into an Akuma, hoping him to be fully resurrected but instead, he cursed Allen and sliced through his left eye. It was at this same moment that Allen's left arm first awoke as an anti-Akuma weapon and instinctively destroyed the Akuma. He was later found by Cross Marianand trained as his disciple until he was sent to the Black Order headquarters to officially become an Exorcist.[9][10] His parasite-type anti-Akuma weapon goes through two different forms resembling giant arms until it reaches its true form the Crown Clown (クラウン・クラウン?), which takes the form of a type of body armor.[11][12][13] It also creates a large sword resembling the Earl's created from his left arm able to exorcise evil.[14][15] His cursed left eye is able to "detect" disguised Akuma.[9] Shortly after his anti-Akuma weapon takes the form of Crown Clown, his synchronization rate surpasses the percentage required for General level.[14] It is said the 14th Noah implanted his memories into Allen.[16] This leads Malcolm Lvellie to place him under suspicion.[17] He fights for the souls of the Akuma and for his friends.[9] He is voiced by Sanae Kobayashi.[18]
Yu Kanda (神田 ユウ Kanda Yū?) is a rude 18-year-old Exorcist from Japan. He is the first Exorcist that Allen meets at the Black Order HQ and since then they have an ongoing loathing toward each other.[19][20] He is a disciple of General Tiedoll and hates the way the man treats him.[21] He can recover much faster than ordinary humans due to a mysterious tattoo above his heart and a lotus flower kept in an hourglass.[22][23] Kanda refuses to die until he finds "a certain person".[24] His anti-Akuma weapon Mugen (六幻 Six Illusions?) takes the form of a katana and is able to unleash several techniques dubbed "illusions".[25] He is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai.[26]
Lenalee Lee (リナリー・リー Rinarī Rī?) is a 16-year-old Exorcist from China.[3] Her parents were killed by an Akuma when she was very young. Due to her ability to use the Innocence, Lenalee was forced to become an Exorcist to use her strength. Because she was separated from her single, remaining family member, she went near insane and had to be restrained. However, her brother Komui joined the Order, easing her loneliness.[27]Therefore, sanity restored, she fights for her brother as well as her friends as she knows she has a home to return.[27] Her perception of the "world" consists of her friends and family; whenever one of her friends dies, it seems to her as if a part of her world has been destroyed.[28] The Dark Boots (ダークブーツ?), her anti-Akuma weapon, takes the form of a pair of black boots capable of high running speed, walking on water, and using sound waves as footholds.[29][30][31] She invoked them beyond her ability, causing them to "evolve" from their equipment type into an entirely new crystal type, that it is supposedly the first of this type.[32][33] She is voiced by Shizuka Itō.[34]
Lavi (ラビ Rabi?) is a cheerful 18 year old, red-haired Exorcist of mixed race. He aims to become a Bookman, a person who records the hidden history of the world and has been trained from a young age to achieve that goal.[35] Lavi is the 49th alias he assumed after casting away his real name to reach it.[36] He works along the Black Order just to be close to the events that must be seen and slowly becomes more attached to his Black Order friends, and his original Bookman self is constantly being clouded by his growing care.[37][38][36] His anti-Akuma weapon is simply named Tessei (鉄槌 Iron Hammer?), also referred as Ōzuchi Kozuchi (大槌小槌 Big Hammer, Little Hammer?) is capable of growing and extending to undefined sizes and lengths.[35][39][40] Although this affects its weight, increasing the damage caused, it does not affect Lavi's ability to use it.[41] The weapon also allows him to use "seals" for controlling several elements in nature.[42] He is voiced by Kenichi Suzumura.[43]
The Millennium Earl (千年伯爵 Sennen Hakushaku?) is the story's main antagonist. He is a sorcerer from long ago, and he plans to lead the world to its death.[44] He tricks people who mourn for their dead relatives and friends into resurrecting them, turning them into Akuma that he can then control.[11] The Earl resembles a grotesque caricature of a Victorian gentleman, a rotund figure in cape and top hat, with a perpetual enormous grin and pince-nez spectacles. Despite his intentions, he often displays a cheerful attitude. He is shown to have a human form, but it does not seem to be the same person, as mentioned by another character.[45] He is able to control Noah's Ark and has created a new one, intending to discard the old one when it falls into the possession of the Black Order.[46][21] He is voiced by Takiguchi Junpei.[47]
The Noah Family (ノアの一族 Noa no ichizoku?) consists of thirteen human descendants of Noah who have inherited his genes.[48][49] A Noah can be identified by a gray skin tone, yellow/gold eyes, and a horizontal line of seven cross-shaped markings referred to as holy marks. But just likeAkuma creatures, they base their powers off dark matter, the opposite of Innocence, and are vulnerable to Innocence just as Innocence is vulnerable to dark matter.[50] They share an inborn drive to kill Exorcists, but are otherwise unique. "Carved" on their genes is a memory of Noah different from any member in their generation and posses a supernatural ability.[49] If a member has died, this causes the Noah within the others to cry.[51]
Road Kamelot (ロード・キャメロット Rōdo Kyamerotto?) represents the "Dreams" of Noah. Despite her early teens appearance, she is referred to as "oldest" Noah or the "First Child".[51][52] She is also the adopted daughter of Cyril Kamelot and his wife and niece of Tyki Mikk.[45] She is gifted with the ability to travel dimensions without using Noah's Ark and has shown some use of complete regeneration, telekinesis, and telepathy.[53][54]Road is also the only Noah capable of programming Noah's Ark because she is the "oldest".[52] Road often acts as a normal teenager, but she has shown signs of sadism. Road stated she hates humans early in the series, but grows an attachment to Allen Walker.[53] She is voiced byShimizu Ai.[55]
Tyki Mikk (ティキ・ミック Tiki Mikku?) represents the "Pleasure" of Noah.[51] He is the younger brother of Cyril Kamelot and the uncle of Road Kamelot.[45] The Earl once mentions that Tyki subconsciously suppresses his Noah. Tyki has two "sides" to his life, one in which he is a care-free, Portuguese vagabond and the other where he is a Noah and seemingly well-known in society.[56][33] He enjoys living them both, but fears losing the human friends he has.[35] After a failed attempt to exorcise the Noah from him is performed by Allen, the Noah consumes him.[57] The holy marks, which have previously disappeared, are replaced by a single large one located at the base of his neck.[58][59] His appearance transforms into that of a demonic knight and later, after his human form returns, a gray skin tone remains.[33] Tyki has the ability to "choose" what he wants to touch, allowing him to walk on water or air and harmlessly passing through anything, with the exception of Innocence.[60][61][62] He can also control Teez, a man-eating golem in the shape of a butterfly, a gift from the Earl.[60] He is voiced by Morikawa Toshiyuki.[63]
Jasdero (ジャスデロ Jasudero?) and David (デビット Debitto?) were originally one Noah called Jasdevi (ジャスデビ Jasudebi?).[64] They represent the "Bonds" of Noah.[51] They posses the power of Materialization (実現?), which is used through bullets created by the two thinking simultaneously and then shooting it through an identical pair of guns.[65] Their Materialization skills also allow them to create numerous objects.[66][67] By shooting one another, David and Jasdero can merge together and become Jasdevi. They no longer rely on the guns to focus their abilities, instead using bare hands. Jasdevi's long hair also becomes a weapon and gains new strength from the desire to create the "the strongest imagined body".[68] After losing a battle with Krory on Noah's Ark in Edo, they disappeared and have yet to reappear. They are voiced by Saiga Mitsuki andMorikubo Showtaro respectively.[69][70]
Skin Boric (スキン・ボリック Sukin Borikku?) is a Noah of American descent.[35] Three years ago, he "awoke" as a Noah.[49] He represents the "Wrath" of Noah, the most potent of all the Noah's memories. It is mentioned that his Noah's memory controlled him.[51] He is large and has a constant gray skin tone and his holy marks are always visible. After experiencing the Wrath of Noah and the suffering his ancestors felt at the hands of the Innocence, he decided to never forgive the Exorcists or God.[49] He is killed by Kanda on Noah's Ark in Edo.[71] Skin's abilities are lightning based. When using his powers, his skin peels, revealing a spiked, golden layer. This golem-like body has a high defense and strength.[72] He is voiced by Miyake Kenta.[73]
Lulu Bell (ルル・ベル Ruru Beru?) is a blonde Noah representing the "Lust" of Noah.[74] She appeared early in the anime-adaption and later in the manga series. As a Noah, her hair is black and she often appears as a black cat in the anime for spying purposes and retains various cat-like qualities as a human.[75] Lulu Bell possesses the ability of metamorphosis referred to as the power of "Form" and is not limited to a solid state.[76]She can also take on the appearance of others.[76][77] After a failed attempt to infiltrate and retrieve the Akuma egg, she has yet to reappear in the series although she has survived the event. She is voiced by Ogasawara Arisa.[78]
Cyril Kamelot (シェリル・キャメロット Sheiriru Kyamerotto?) is the adopted father of Road Kamelot, the older brother of Tyki Mikk, and the minister of a country. He stays at his estate with his frail wife, whom Tyki said he married only to adopt Road. He apparently has an attachment to Road and Tyki and often dotes on them both. Cyril manipulates diplomatic situations, allowing him to declare war. War will lead to the creation of more Akuma.[45] Cyril is similar in appearance to Tyki as he is also tall and has swept-back hair tied in a ponytail.
The 14th (14番目?), also referred to as "The Musician", was the extra member of the Noah Family and the younger brother of Mana Walker.[16] He was the only member, other than the First Child Road and The Earl, who was able to control the Ark. Before the story's timeline, he gave this power away to a human and ran, betraying the Earl and the Family. The Earl killed him personally.[52][79] Mana Walker was with the 14th up until then. Sometime before his death, he told Cross Marian that if Mana was looked after, he would return to him one day.[16] Although the exact time is unknown, it is also said that he implanted his memories in Allen Walker before he died.
Skulls are not as large a force as the Akuma, but they are more numerous than the Noah. They are the guardians and caretakers of the Earl's Akuma egg. Skulls are humanoids who wear large black robes and have skull-like heads. They are created by transforming a human with a "suitable" mind using a special form of magic. A Skull places its fingers against the forehead of a victim and chant an incantation. The human is then surrounded by arcs of energy and then shrouded in a cocoon made of a black thread-like substance, finally emerging a few moments later as a Skull. They are very resistant, capable of taking a bullet to the head without any lasting damage. They also seem photosensitive, as they turn to dust when they are in contact with light.
Akuma (アクマ? lit. demon) take up the majority of the Earl's army and serve as the "foot soldiers". When one is mourning for a lost relative or friend, the Earl appears offering to resurrect that member for them. However, the raised soul becomes the power source for the Earl's weapon and must obey his orders. In contrast, a Akuma "converted" by Cross can resist orders from the Earl for a limited amount of time. Akuma "wear" the skin of the one who resurrected them. They use this to blend in, as Exorcists cannot tell Akuma from human with the exception of Allen. The Akuma share a metal core made of dark matter that resembles a simplified human skeleton. Their blood also contains a blood virus, which rapidly travels through the victim's body, marking it with pentacles. The virus can be spread by blood bullets of a high caliber shot by the level one Akuma. Eventually, the body crumbles into dust and gives off a poisonous gas. The Akuma also evolve into higher levels, gaining strength as they do so, with level four being the highest seen so far. Each level Akuma becomes more humanoid than the level before it.[80] As its evolution continues, the embedded soul deteriorates. An Akuma-producing plant, referred to as an "egg", is required to create Akuma. It has been destroyed. There is a special significance to the evolution of an Akuma. If destroyed by a force other than Innocence, the soul is absorbed by dark matter.
Exorcists, also known as "Accomadators", are chosen by each piece of the divine substance Innocence. This allows them to control it in its weaponized form the anti-Akuma weapon. Their job includes defeating the Akuma and searching the world for the scattered Innocence. They receive daily orders from the chief, although they are normally placed under one of the General's command. With Allen joining the Order, there were nineteen Exorcists. Since then, several have died and a few joined, creating a total of fourteen living Exorcists. The Innocence grants each Exorcist a unique, supernatural ability. They are usually categorized into two types of Exorcists, depending on the form their anti-Akuma weapon takes and how they are invoked. An equipment-type Exorcist controls an Innocence that is "restrained" by a weapon form. Parasite-type Exorcists control the Innocence in an unaltered form with their bodies. When invoked their weapon usually appears as a human body part, but is actually composed of a different cellular structure. The parasite-type Exorcists can manipulate their weapon through emotion. Because the Innocence is not physically in contact with its Equipment-type Accomadator, the Exorcist cannot control the weapon as well as a Parasitic-type can. There is a third type of Exorcist, the Crystal-type. Lenalee is the only known member of this group. The Innocence takes a metallic form created from the Exorcist's blood. Although the Innocence can be controlled through emotions like a parasite-type, no part of the user's body is altered. Instead the Innocence resides in the crystals making up the metallic substance.
Hevlaska (ヘブラスカ Heburasuka?) is said to be the "Guardian of the Cube" and has been part of the Black Order since its establishment. She is completely enveloped by her Innocence, which seems indefinitely invoked. She is able to "probe" inside an Exorcists body through tentacles to touch an Innocence and determine its synchronization rate, hidden potential.[81] She used this to confirm Cross was no longer the accomadator for his Innocence.[82] Any Innocence recovered from missions are kept within her body, which has 109 holes for each, until an accomadator is found.[29] Hevlaska's prophesies are said to be usually correct.[81] She is voiced by Kaida Yūko.[83]
Miranda Lotto (ミランダ・ロットー Miranda Rottō?) is a 25-year-old German woman whose clock caused time to rewind in her town after she connected with Innocence inside it. She often feels inferior and useless and has been fired from over one hundred jobs. This contributes to herchronic depression. With the help of Allen and Lenalee, she became determined to be a useful Exorcist. Her anti-Akuma weapon, the Time Record (刻盤?), is located on her right arm. It allows her to stop or reverse time in an area for a short while, causing any object to revert to its original status. However, any damage the object suffered before and during the reversed time will affect the object once the technique is stopped and the dead cannot be revived, this is due to the fact her Innocence cannot erase time. She is voiced by Toyoguchi Megumi.[84]
Bookman (ブックマン Bukkuman?) is an old man who records the hidden history of the world. He comes from the Bookman clan and does not have a name, simply introducing himself as "Bookman". He refers to Allen as "The Destroyer of Time" as according to Hevlaska's prophecy and because he believes Allen is the only one who can defeat the Millennium Earl. Bookman also believes a "Bookman" does not put himself in the front line. He allies himself with the Black Order merely to be close to events that must be witnessed and recorded. His anti-Akuma weapon, a set of acupuncture needles, is called Heavenly Compass (天針?). Bookman is also skilled in acupuncture healing techniques. He is voiced by Aono Takeshi.[85]
Arystar Krory The Third (アレイスター・クロウリー三世 Areisutā Kurōrī Sansei?) is a Romanian man who was mistakenly identified as a vampire by nearby villagers because his Innocence caused him to instinctively attack Akuma. He lived secluded from the world with Eliade, whom he loved. He discovered she was an Akuma. After a vicious battle that resulted with him killing her, he felt terrible. Allen tells him to become an Exorcist as an excuse for her death. He does this, and continuously thinks of Eliade and mourns her death. Krory's anti-Akuma weapon allows him to break down the poison in the Akuma's blood and control his own blood, and the blood of others to an extent. This grants him increased strength, speed, and regeneration abilities. He often uses them in a vampire-like fashion, sucking the blood from the Akuma. In the same fashion, he can extract the Akuma's blood virus from those infected with it. He is immune to the poison to an extent, but if he has no strength, it is hard for Innocence to break down the poison. He is voiced by Iwata Mitsuo.[86]
Daisya Barry (デイシャ・バリー Deisha Barī?) was a cheerful Exorcist from Bodrum and a fan of soccer. His uniform features a cowl similar to the coxcomb of a medieval jester. He was a disciple of General Tiedoll and was killed by Tyki Mikk on a mission to locate and bring him back to the Black Order HQ. His anti-Akuma weapon, Charity Bell (隣人ノ鐘?), was often found at the end of his cowl when not invoked. It is handled much like a soccer ball and can break through multiple Akuma and cause any it hits to resonate like larger bells until they, and any level one Akuma in the vicinity, explode. It was taken and probably destroyed by the Noah after his death. He is voiced by Yanaka Hiroshi.[87]
Noise Marie (ノイズ・マリ Noizu Mari?) is an Exorcist under General Tiedoll. His anti-Akuma weapon Noel Organon (聖人ノ詩篇?) grants him incredible hearing. The weapon also allows for offense by forming strings used to capture a victim and conduct music that paralyzes the Akuma. He is voiced by Yanada Kiyoyuki.[88]
Suman Dark (スーマン・ダーク Sūman Dāku?) originally joined the Black Order five years ago to pay for his daughter's medical fees. After being sent on a mission to find General Zokalo, his teammates Chaker Rabon and Kazanna Reed were killed by Tyki Mikk. Their deaths frightened Suman, who did not want to die. After giving away the locations of his comrades in exchange for his life, Suman was judged by his Innocence and became a Fallen One (咎落ち?), causing the Innocence to constantly deteriorate his body. Allen attempted to remove the Innocence from Suman's body, but succeeded too late. This resulted in the death of Suman's mind. However, his body was destroyed by the Teez Tyki Mikk had implanted in his body earlier, in exchange for not killing him before. He has a parasite-type anti-Akuma weapon, which takes the form of a gem-like stone near his thumb. It is currently in the possession of the Black Order. He is voiced by Gôda Hozumi.[89]
Chaoji Han (チャオジー・ハン Chaojī Han?) was one of three surviving crew members of Anita's ship after it was attacked by Akuma at sea. Chaoji was seen reacting with an Innocence sent into Noah's Ark by Tiedoll. Being extremely loyal to Anita and her crew, he developed an extreme hatred of all Noah and Akuma after their deaths, going so far as to accuse Allen of being evil for sparing the life of Tyki Mikk. Chaoji's Innocence appears as a pair of linked bracelets on his left wrist, granting him superhuman strength. Chaoji is willing to become an Exorcist and is to be a disciple of Tiedoll. He is voiced by Miyano Mamoru.[90]
Generals are immensely powerful Exorcists whose synchronization rate with their Innocence has exceeded 100%. They do not take orders from the chief, instead taking orders from the Grand Generals, who are ranked even higher.
Four years ago, Cross Marian (クロス・マリアン Kurosu Marian?) stopped communicating with the Black Order until recently. However, his return was short as he disappeared without his Innocence and a considerable amount of blood left behind. He is Allen's master, a sorcerer, and scientist. He is a demanding individual who is hard to please and has been described as a womanizer by some. Cross has the unique ability to convert Akuma and make them work under his orders.[91] It seems the Earl is concerned about Cross' actions. Before he died, the 14th Noah told Cross to look after Mana Walker so he may return to him. Judgment (断罪者?), his equipment-type anti-Akuma weapon, takes the form of a revolver. Cross is able to fire several bullets in rapid succession. These bullets will not cease until they hit their target. However, he is no longer the accomadator for Judgment. Cross is also able to use magic to control the corpse of an Exorcist named Maria, also allowing him to use her parasitic-type anti-Akuma weapon. Her defensive ability uses her song to create illusions that can conceal the presence of others. She, or Cross, can also use her song to control the person's movements by affecting brain waves. The use of magic to control Maria's anti-Akuma weapon is unorthodox and forbidden. He is voiced by Hiroki Touchi.[92]
Kevin Yeegar (ケビン・イェーガー Kebin Yēgā?) is the oldest of the Generals. He is attacked, then crucified facing the cross by Tyki Mikk, dying shortly after the Black Order recovers his body. In the anime, Yeegar's anti-Akuma weapon is a pair of chained pendulums that can split into multiple pendulums, allowing him to attack many Akuma at once. In both adaptions, his Innocence is taken and destroyed. He is voiced by Kawakubo Kiyoshi.[93]
Froi Tiedoll (フロワ・ティエドール Furowa Tiedōru?) is a former artist who is loyal to his work and fatherly toward his disciples. His anti-Akuma weapon, the Maker of Eden (メーカー・オブ・エデン?), which takes the form of a crucifix and a rod, a spiritual chisel. The crucifix drives the chisel into the ground creating dust from which a creature, more than one if needed, is created. He can also create a forest of thorns to defend. He is voiced by Hashi Takaya.[94]
Cloud Nyne (クラウド・ナイン Kuraudo Nain?) is the only female General. She seems to be a kind and gentle woman, as she is seen weeping for Sol Galen, Tina Spark, and Gwen Frere who were killed searching for her. Lau Jimin (ラウ・シーミン?) is Cloud Nyne's parasitic-type anti-Akuma weapon that takes the form of a little monkey usually seen riding on her shoulder. It is the first sentient Innocence shown in the series. When invoked, it transforms into a monster that attacks with balls of energy that form at its fists. She is voiced by Katsuki Masako.[95]
Winters Zokalo (ウィンターズ・ソカロ Wintāzu Sokaro?) is shown to be a harsh, violent man who wears a hard leather (almost metal-like) mask over his head. Unlike the most of the other generals, he seems to have little regard for his Exorcist team. His anti-Akuma weapon Madness (神狂い?)appears as two spiked half-rings attached to his shoulders.

He said that "Walker is a solid hero with a dark past, the Millenium [sic] Earl is a menacing villain you'll love to hate" and the supporting cast shows enough potential to hold interest into future volumes.However, he compared the series' antagonist to three of Batman's villains and stated "Batman should consider litigation, but even he'd have problems" facing the Earl.[144] Carlos Santos of Anime News Network was not as positive believing that the story was kept from its full potential due to "generic character designs".[145] He also stated that because the action scenes are thrown together without a change of pace or mood, the readers never get to know the secondary characters better.[146]
