After losing his parents at the hands of demons at a young age, Kiyoshi Harai set out to become an exorcist capable of protecting many people. The youngest exorcist to graduate from the Exorcist Academy, and valedictorian of his class, Kiyoshi is the strongest exorcist ever. However, even he had a weakness: extreme shyness and introversion. He is assigned to work at the Naraku City Exorcist Association Branch Outpost, inside the Chinese restaurant Gates of Hell, where his life-saving mentor, Sakaki Tenma, is stationed. Alongside his peers, Kiyoshi fights to exorcise demons and become a shield protecting the weak.

• Kiyoshi Harai • The main protagonist of the series. Although he is shy and somewhat naïve, he is an incredibly powerful exorcist with many calling him "The Ultimate Exorcist". He has a list of 100 things to do in high school. He is assigned to the Naraku Branch, run by Tenma Sasaki, and works at his restaurant where he makes omurice. His exorcism techniques are based on the Sun and Moon. • Sosuke Hitsugi • Kiyoshi's self proclaimed rival, and a member of the Knights of Light. Although he tries to act like a stereotypical gifted and cold character, he is caring and hard-working. He carries a special gun that converts moisture in the air into holy water bullets.

He has a demon familiar called "Hi-Stakes" which can transform into different weapons based on a roll of dice. • Akari Jogasaki • Kiyoshi's peppy partner. Although she is not skilled in combat, she always does her best to help. She has a unique ability to sense demons using the strand of hair on her head. • Nehan Sanzugawa • Kiyoshi's classmate in high school and a new member of the Naraku Branch. Originally an ordinary human, Nehan joined the Naraku Branch with his demon friend, Jack Joe as his familiar. They can combine into a powerful human/demon hybrid. • ジャック ジョー • A demon that Nehan befriended when they were kids. He is friendly and kind, contrary to most demons.
