List of Blood+ characters

The Blood+ anime, light novel, and manga series feature an extensive cast of characters designed by Chizu Hashii and co-created by Production I.G and Aniplex.

[3] In 1870, Amshel purchases a twelve-year-old boy named Hagi from his parents to become Saya's companion and friend, though she later falls in love with him and vice versa.

[4] In 2005, when Blood+ begins, Saya is a high school girl living in Okinawa who was adopted a year ago by George Miyagusuku after waking from her hibernation cycle with no memory of her identity or past.

As the battle with Diva continues, Saya's next hibernation period draws nearer, she starts having sudden bouts of fainting spells, and her regeneration ability slows.

[3] Saya has felt some guilt over this through the years, but when she apologizes, Hagi assures her that he has no regrets, as it allows him to always be by her side while she lives her dream of traveling the world with her sword.

He keeps his right hand bandaged most of the time to hide the fact that its form is permanently chiropteran since Saya injured it while going crazy from being forced awake decades ago in Vietnam.

[14] Voiced by: Jurouta Kosugi (Japanese); Christopher Nissley (English) David was the sole survivor of a chiropteran attack on his special forces squad before joining the Red Shield.

He seems to take a particular interest in helping Kai grow up to be a strong man who can support Saya and Riku as their brothers, despite their unusual natures.

Voiced by: Akiko Yajima (Japanese); Kari Wahlgren (English) Diva (ディーヴァ, Dīva) is Saya's younger twin sister and the main antagonist of the series.

Voiced by: Joji Nakata (Japanese); Wally Wingert (English) Amshel Goldsmith was the assistant of the original Joel Goldshmidt and the overarching antagonist.

[16] Despite referring to his fellow cavaliers as his brothers, he seems unaffected when Karl dies, grows increasingly disgusted with Solomon's love for Saya, and orders his execution.

Voiced by: Koji Tsujitani (Japanese); Dave Wittenberg (English) Solomon Goldsmith was a medical doctor who was introduced to Diva by Amshel in 1917 during World War I.

[35] In the manga adaptation, Solomon wants to find out whether a chiropteran can reproduce or not and tries to make Diva mate with Riku after the boy was made into Saya's chevalier.

Solomon doesn't take kindly to her childish behavior when she throws a temper tantrum, scratches his face, and renounces his status as her chevalier.

His traumatic past, Diva's inability to give him the love he sought, and his forced conversion seem to have left Karl severely mentally unbalanced.

[30] Disguised as his alter ego "The Phantom", Karl kidnapped girls that looked like Saya in his desire to see her again to finish their fight.

He forms a sort of friendship with Van, who uses him for various experiments, including producing the Corpse Corps, and with Riku, who bonded with Charles while held in captivity.

Voiced by: Toru Okawa (Japanese); David Rasner (English) James Ironside became one of Diva's chevaliers in 1945 in Berlin, Germany, during World War II.

Towards the end of the series, James begins to lose his sanity due to his crumbling relationship with Diva, and he takes out his rage on the Schiff, whom he regards as inferior organisms to himself.

Voiced by: Yuko Kaida (Japanese); Abby Craden (English) Julia Silverstein is a medical doctor working for the Red Shield.

[18] She meets with David several times while he is investigating the Cinq Flèches and the Corpse Corps, and he always reminds her that she will be welcome back to the Red Shield when she is ready.

[24] After Diva is killed and the group returns to Okinawa, Julia is able to use the knowledge she gained to extend the Schiff Lulu's life span and develop a serum from Saya's blood that can stop the effects of the Delta 67 agent.

[14] Voiced by: Takashi Nagasako (Japanese); David Rasner (English) Lewis is an oversized brown-skinned man who is responsible for providing gadgets and transportation for the Red Shield operatives.

Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe (Japanese); Crispin Freeman (English) Van Argiano is a Frenchman and the head scientist studying chiropterans for Cinq Flèches.

[12] After this, Okamura and Mao become unofficial members of Saya's group, first researching in Los Angeles and then joining them in New York after their apartment is blown up by Cinq Flèches.

[25] Voiced by: Hideyuki Umezu (Japanese); Steven Blum (English) Dr. Aston Collins was once the second-in-command of the Red Shield, primarily in charge of researching the chiroptera with Julia as his assistant.

[36] Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (Japanese); Dave Wittenberg (English) Karman (カルマン, Karuman) is a tall, slender boy with a tendency to be aggressive, particularly towards humans.

[36] Voiced by: Chiwa Saito (Japanese); Lara Jill Miller (English) Lulu (ルルゥ, Ruruu) is a diminutive young girl with sunken eyes who befriends Saya's group after the death of Irène, despite the objections of Karman and Moses.

[14] Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi (Japanese); Olivia Hack (English) Irène (イレーヌ, Irēnu) is one of the Schiff, but unlike her companions, she is greatly bothered by the idea of killing humans to drink their blood, refusing to do so despite its leaving her in a weakened state.

[6] Voiced by: You Kitazawa (Japanese); Crispin Freeman (English) Forrest (フォレスト, Foresuto) is a regular customer at George Miyugyasiku's bar.
