Characters
Natsuru Senō (瀬能 ナツル, Senō Natsuru)
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Voiced by: Marina Inoue
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
The series' main protagonist. Second year student of Seitetsu Gakuin High School, he has a crush on Kaede Sakura, one of the school beauties, to the point of single-mindedness and sees other girls with indifference. He is chosen as a Blue Kämpfer by Moderator and setup as a Zauber type with power based on fire. In keeping with the rule that all Kämpfers are females, he turns into girl upon transformation. After a fight with Shizuku exposed his Kämpfer form to other students of the school, Shizuku arranged to have him enrolled in girl's class to fulfill public curiosity in a way that diverts attentions away from Kämpfer battle. His Kämpfer form has subsequently been ranked among the Three Beauties of Seitetsu (there used to be only two) and, much to his own dismay, become subject of intense affections from Kaede Sakura (who has displayed no particular interest in his Normal form) and the female student body.
Akane Mishima (美嶋 紅音, Mishima Akane)
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Voiced by: Yui Horie
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
School librarian and Natsuru's friend, she is also a Blue Kämpfer like Natsuru. Normally very shy (which might very well be attributed to her tendency of misunderstanding what others are trying to do in a borderline-erotic way) and soft-spoken, she becomes foul-mouthed, bitter, vindictive, and trigger-happy upon transforming into a Kämper. She explained most of the rules of being a Kämpfer when Natsuru's own Messenger gave no such details. She is a Gewehr type Kämpfer who uses an 1911 .45 pistol and appears to be ambidextrous. In addition to having Natsuru as the first male to establish in-depth friendship with her, Akane eventually begins to harbour feelings for him, becoming jealous and easily irritable when he talks about another girl (most if not all of the time being Kaede) in front of her or when another girl takes an interest in him (whether that interest is romantic in nature or not). Natsuru does later tell her that if Kaede were never on his mind, she (Normal form) would have been the kind of girl he "sees no problem with".
Shizuku Sangō (三郷 雫, Sangō Shizuku?)
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka[2]
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
President of the Student Council and one of the Three Beauties of Seitetsu, she is a model student with perfect attendance record. In addition, however, she is also a Red Kämpfer fighting with the Schwert ability of wielding two chained daggers at will. She wants to expose Moderator's intentions but has no problem fighting Blue Kämpfers until that goal was accomplished. After being spared following a defeat by Natsuru, she enters a truce with Natsuru and Akane and has since taken an interest in Natsuru in a slightly sly and teasing manner (throwing him off balance with embarrassing remarks/actions) despite being constantly treated with suspicion (she always puts on a poker face). In Episode 7, during the group's visit to Kaede's home, Shizuku was wondering if she was feeling jealous as suggested by her inquisitiveness about what happened after Kaede snuck into Natsuru's bed. Her constant ambiguity seems to become her undoing, as Natsuru keeps thinking that she is up to something when she asks him out for a date.
Mikoto Kondō (近堂 水琴, Kondō Mikoto)
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Voiced by: Kana Asumi
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Natsuru's childhood friend who only recently reunited with him due to her father being an archaeologist who lives abroad. She appears to have feelings for Natsuru and is more than a bit bothered by the presence of a girl with the same name as his (who in reality is Natsuru in his Kämpfer form). When she was seeing Miss Seitetsu contest of the school festival, she caught a bouquet that Kaede tossed with a Messenger hidden in it, consequently being turned into a Schwert-type Red Kämpfer armed with a katana. Her love for curry is to the point of cooking and consuming it for every meal.
Kaede Sakura (沙倉 楓, Sakura Kaede)
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Voiced by: Megumi Nakajima
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Shizuku's childhood friend and one of the Three Beauties of Seitetsu, she has many admirers, Natsuru being one of them. She has a large collection of stuffed Zōmotsu Animal dolls and likes to present them to her friends; those who receive the dolls, however, tend to end up becoming Kämpfers. She began to develop a crush on Kämpfer Natsuru after being saved from Kämpfer Akane at the beginning of the series, later coming under the mistaken impression that the normal Natsuru is her rival for Kämpfer Natsuru's affection and consequently becoming somewhat hostile to him, a situation not helped after a misunderstanding in a very compromising situation leads her to think Natsuru is cheating on the female Natsuru.
Messengers
The role of Messengers is mainly assisting those chosen to become Kämpers to understand the rules and mechanisms of Kämper combat. Many of them have been described in the novels as having voices similar to those of specific real-life voice actors, who would in turn do the voices for them in the anime.

** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Messenger for Mikoto in the appearance of a strangled dog. It speaks with a subdued voice.
Hiaburi Lion (ヒアブリ ライオン, Hiaburi Raion)
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
The oldest Messenger, its existence said to pre-date the Zōmotsu Animal toyline- the novel version of it does not have its guts hanging out of its body like the Zōmotsu Animals after it but the anime version does. It has the same shape as a character which Kaede imagined before, with a voice similar to that of a voice actor who performs voice-overs for foreign movie stars. Kaede got it by mere chance though it is very scarce.
Hikinige Kaba (ヒキニゲ カバ, Hikinige Kaba)
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Hikinige Kaba was Messenger for Tamiko Shinomiya. It has turned back to a plain doll since she disappeared. Kaede presented another Hikinige Kaba to Midori Kuzuhara.

Natsuru Senō discovers one morning to have transformed into a woman, upon which a stuffed animal tiger, Harikiri Tora, tells him that he has become a Kämpfer, which must do battle with other Kämpfer; since Kämpfer must be female, Natsuru transforms into a female version of himself. The next morning he is attacked by another Kämpfer named Akane Mishima wielding a sidearm. Natsuru protects his childhood friend Kaede Sakura from Akane's attack, before saving Akane from a falling lamppost. Natsuru is approached the following day by a shy girl who reveals herself to be Akane, who is completely different in appearance and personality when in Kämpfer form. Akane tells Natsuru as much as she knows about the Kämpfer, even helping him when he transforms. Kaede tells Natsuru that she has fallen for his Kämpfer form, and when he goes to Akane for advice, they are attacked by another hidden Kämpfer while in the school library. When Kaede suddenly appears in the wreckage, Akane assumes she is the enemy and shoots her gun at her.
