Amu Hinamori
Amu Hinamori (日奈森 亜夢, Hinamori Amu?) Voiced by: Kanae Itō
Amu Hinamori, the series protagonist, is a student of Seiyo Elementary. Amu's classmates see her as a "Cool and Spicy" girl, but Amu is actually extremely shy and timid. Part of the reason for this misunderstanding is the trendy punk goth clothing her mother buys for her as well as the way in which she expresses her shyness and avoids doing new things. However, when Amu wishes for the courage to be reborn as her "would-be self", three colorful eggs appear the next morning, which hatch into Amu's three Guardian Characters: Ran, Miki, and Su.
During Character Change and Character Transformation her hair clip changes (Ran→Heart, Miki→Spade, Su→Clover, Dia→Diamond) The characters Amu becomes are good at certain activities like Amulet Heart who is athletic, Amulet Spade who is artistic, Amulet Clover who is a skilled house-worker or maid, and Amulet Diamond who is a musician/singer.
Amu has a crush on Tadase Hotori, the King's Chair of Seiyo Elementary Guardians. However, when she confessed her feelings during her first Character Change with Ran in front of the entire school, Tadase refused her. Amu later learns that Tadase is not good at receiving confessions and would Character Change with Kiseki, who would refuse the confession.
At first, Amu rejects the offer to join the Guardians, using the excuse that she does not want to wear the royal cape. But the Guardians announce her as a member anyways, under a special position, Joker's Chair. On joining the Guardians, she receives her very own royal cape to which Amu says, "Anything but that!" and the "Humpty Lock", a locket with a four leaf clover decoration. Nadeshiko states that the very first king left it and said, "Entrust this to the Joker whom comes with three Guardian Eggs." Also, it was explained to her that the Joker's duty is to hunt X eggs as she is the only one with the power to purify them.

It is seen that Amu has a crush on Ikuto as whenever he touches her, she blushes, which she does not realizes at first, but began to be aware of. She also was shocked to see that Utau kissed Ikuto, and presumably became jealous. In volume 5, Amu goes on a date with Tadase, which shows a little bit more development of their relationship. She also was confronted by Ikuto, on her date, resulting to a confession from Ikuto saying the actual reason he bothers her is because he is interested in her, though he later laughed it off. And in chapter 28, Amu asks him if he has someone he loves and he answers, "It's you". She takes it as a joke but when Utau tells her that he was not lying, she realizes that Ikuto was being honest...
Ikuto Tsukiyomi
Ikuto Tsukiyomi (月詠 幾斗, Tsukiyomi Ikuto?) Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura
A boy who wants the Embryo to obtain his freedom. During Character Change, he grows cat ears, and can turn his hand into a paw with metal claws. His Character Transformation is known as "Black Lynx". During Character Transformation, he uses gloves with metal claws on the his left and wears a leather two-piece with boots. His Guardian Character is Yoru and has the form of a cat. This could possibly be because Ikuto wants his freedom and cats are free.
He is actually five years older than Amu and Tadase, as he told Amu that he was going to be a 3rd year senior, who was just starting middle school.
At first he is called "nekomimi hentai cosplay otoko" ( lit. perverted cat-ears cosplay guy) by Amu. Ikuto has sensitive ears, like Amu. He possesses the "Dumpty Key", which is the other pair of the "Humpty Lock" owned by Amu. For some unknown reason, Tadase had the key and Ikuto stole it from him. He is Utau's elder brother and he refers to Tadase as "Kiddy King." It is revealed in the manga that Utau, Tadase and Ikuto were childhood friends. Tadase called him "Onii-Tan".
He signed a contract with Easter and is looking for the Embryo, an egg that will grant any wish. Its because of that he becomes an enemy to Amu, but privately he helps Amu in the shadows.

In the latest chapters, his relationship with Amu has taken a turn for the better. He has even said that he is "interested" in her.
When Ikuto was stuck in her house, Amu asks him if he has someone he loves and he answers, "It's you". She takes it as a joke but when Utau tells her that he was not lying, she realizes that Ikuto was being honest. Once, Ikuto was kissed by Utau, in reaction to that Amu starts freaking out when she hears that Ikuto and Utau are siblings.
Like his father, Ikuto can play the violin.
