The characters of *Gachiakuta* (ガチアクタ), Kei Urana's battle-action manga serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine since February 2022, are organized by faction: the Cleaners who hunt trash beasts, the Raiders who oppose them, and the people of the Sphere[1](https://gachiakuta-anime.com/character/).

## The Cleaners
The Cleaners are an organization dedicated to hunting down trash beasts, monsters born from trash[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Their boss is Corvus, a capricious and often absent but deeply respected figure[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
**Team Akuta.** Rudo, the protagonist, is an orphaned boy from a slum inhabited by descendants of criminals; falsely accused of a crime, he was cast into the Pit, where Enjin found him and recognized his potential as a Giver[5](https://gachiakuta-anime.com/en/?target=introduction). Enjin, whose vital instrument is an umbrella, recruited him into the Cleaners[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Zanka, whose vital instrument is a stick, was appointed Rudo's trainer and is the Giver best at handling vital instruments[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Riyo wields the scissors vital instrument "the Ripper" with her feet; normally cheerful and playful, she becomes strikingly pragmatic in battle[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
**Team Eager.** Tamsy, a calm Giver with a sharp observing eye, uses the distaff vital instrument Tokushin[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Delmon, passionate about his comrades, has a giant stature and a hose vital instrument with a spray nozzle[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
**Team Child.** Bro, the supervisor of Team Child, cares greatly for Dear despite their lack of blood relation; his vital instrument is a bandanna[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Dear is a Giver who is only 10 years old, whose vital instrument is the pacifier in his mouth[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Guita, a girl wearing clothing like a monster costume, is curious about Rudo and pesters him about his hobbies and likes[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
**Supporters.** Gris is a kind, dependable older-brother figure with grip strength strong enough to snap the outer shell of an ordinary trash beast[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Follo joined the Cleaners to exterminate trash beasts but, lacking a power, became a supporter and is now raising a precious item to become a Giver[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Tomme is the Cleaners' record keeper, sketching and taking notes on trash beasts and everything else she observes even during dangerous battles[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
**Other Cleaners.** Semiu, a receptionist at Cleaners headquarters, uses glasses as her vital instrument, which can raise her dynamic vision and, at full power, see through to a person's essence[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). August, a mad-scientist type, designs and makes the Cleaners' equipment including full-face masks, and is Eishia's older brother[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Eishia is the Cleaners' only healer Giver; she is introverted and very low on self-esteem[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
## The Raiders
The Raiders are led by Zodyl, who pursues Rudo relentlessly in search of a way to reach the Sphere[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Jabber, a Giver belonging to the Raiders, fights with the ring vital instrument "Mankira", which carries a strong neurotoxin, and shows tenacity toward other powerful Givers[3](https://gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=raiders&lang=en). Cthoni is an elusive Giver whose manhole vital instrument can suck up things and warp them to other places[3](https://gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=raiders&lang=en). Noerde, a warrior of the all-women tribe Shireia, is proud and prefers to fight head-on, using the comb vital instrument Mirei together with her long hair[3](https://gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=raiders&lang=en). Fu is a timid Giver ordered by Zodyl to attack the Cleaners, unable to use his abilities unless someone commands him[3](https://gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=raiders&lang=en). Bundus, though a newcomer to the Raiders, is a powerful figure whose six prosthetic hands each have a different ability, letting him select the optimal one against each opponent[3](https://gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=raiders&lang=en).
## Spherite and other characters
Regto, the man who raised Rudo after his parents died, gave him the pair of gloves[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Chiwa is a girl living in the slums on the Sphere, whom Rudo likes for the way she seems to care and worry about him[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
Alice, listed as "Alice (Old Lady)", is the doctor who treated Rudo's wounds after he fell from the Sphere; she looks like an old man but is actually an old lady[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter). Remlin is Canvas Town's new charm-maker (majinai-ya), a boy with gathered-up orange hair who uses a pen-type vital instrument inherited from his predecessor to draw various charms, sometimes mischievously drawing charms different from what was requested[6](https://ciatr.jp/topics/335018). Amo is a girl who lives alone in a tower rising in the desert forbidden zone "Penta", wearing boots bearing the same mark as Rudo's glove[4](https://www.gachiakuta-anime.com/character/detail/?category=supporter).
## Design approach
Kei Urana has described designing the antagonists so that their affiliation is obvious from their appearance, citing the teams of Pokémon as a reference[7](https://kmanga.kodansha.com/blog/article/gachiakuta-talking-shop-with-kei-urana-part-2/). For the Raiders she emphasizes shadows on the faces and unfocused eyes, making it hard for readers to imagine what the characters are looking at or thinking; she notes the shadows grow darker as the story continues[7](https://kmanga.kodansha.com/blog/article/gachiakuta-talking-shop-with-kei-urana-part-2/). Vital instruments are deliberately everyday items readers would recognize, and she avoids making them look like weapons from the start, such as guns or swords[7](https://kmanga.kodansha.com/blog/article/gachiakuta-talking-shop-with-kei-urana-part-2/). She has also stated that Gachiakuta has no purely evil characters so far; Zodyl and Rudo share circumstances, but the people around them shaped their differing senses of justice[7](https://kmanga.kodansha.com/blog/article/gachiakuta-talking-shop-with-kei-urana-part-2/).
Early in the manga's run, Rudo received the newly created Newcomer (Rookie) Award at the Magademy Awards 2022, a character award announced by BookLive[8](https://prtimes.jp/a/?c=22823&f=d22823-309-98771c193e7e1387ba5ff79eab5eb30f.pdf&r=309).
