However, Itsuki can be such a coward sometimes. She tends to get down and frustrated whenever she finds herself in a predicament.

7. Ririka Momobami

Ririka is a character with the most striking design at Kakegurui. She wears a mask for almost the entire series – and when she’s not wearing her mask, it’s clear that she’s a shy and socially-awkward individual.

Despite her shyness, Ririka managed to become a highly skilled and manipulative gambler, able to outwit most of the other gamblers while exposing their tricks.

6. Erimi Mushibami

Erimi is another character who stands out due to her design. Despite her adorable looks, she actually hides her cruelty. Erimi comes from a family that thrives in the torturing business.

Sumika is an expert in reading others’ minds, which helps her greatly to call other players’ buffs in poker.

4. Runa Yomozuki

Runa is an unusual character with her tendency to stay out of conflicts at school. She’s often eating or playing video games during the student council meetings, and she always avoids getting involved in the drama.

In most conflicts, she acts as a referee or administrator who makes sure that the game runs accordingly. However, Runa secretly gains pleasure from seeing others in misery and has no concern if someone has to lose a body part in a game.

In an environment where people go to great lengths to trick others, Runa cares about nothing aside from being neutral and fair. And because of that, she became a well-respected student.

3. Mary Saotome

Mary is one of the main characters in Kakegurui with the most significant character development. When she was first introduced, Mary was shown as a sadistic and terrible person, acting mean towards every housepet.

However, after losing to Yumeko and enduring the similar pain and shame that she’s given others, Mary fell into grief and has since grown into a better person.

However, that didn’t bring any detrimental effect to her gambling skills as Mary becomes even more cunning and smarter than before.

2. Kirari Momobami

The Student Council President at Hyakkaou and the main antagonist of the first season, Kirari, is an interesting character with very fascinating traits. Kirari gains great pleasure from seeing others in misery, which is why she introduced and promotes the hierarchical system of housepets to encourage students to hurt and torture each other. 

Her sadism also includes physical pain, as shown when she asks for Midari Ikishima’s eye. However, unlike most characters, Kirari’s obsession with pain also applies to herself. She’s a highly confident gambler who enjoys taking huge risks.

1. Yumeko Jabami

As soon as Yumeko arrived at Hyakkaou Private Academy, she quickly showed that she’s no ordinary student. She quickly adapted to the school due to her traits.
