Rika Furude
The main character in Minagoroshi-hen. She is a younger classmate in Keiichi's school, and is in the same grade level as Satoko. Naturally, she is great friends with her as they live together in the same house. She is revered by the villagers as the only child of the local shrine, and always plays the role of a miko in the annual Watanagashi Festival. She has been the head of the Furude house ever since her parents died, but rarely, if ever, attends the town meetings due to her young age. She uses "boku" for first-person statements, a word which is usually used only by males. While she does not speak a lot, she tends to mutter cute words such as mi~ and nipa~ which makes Rena scream out about how cute she acts and how she wants to take her home. She also tends to end all her sentences with ~desu. Interestingly, she occasionally shows a secondary personality whose manner of speech is much more advanced than what her age would suggest. She also seems to have clairvoyant ability.
Satoko Houjou
She is a younger classmate in Keiichi's school. She has a distinctive style of speech, ending all of her sentences with ~wa which, at times, is grammatically incorrect.
In spite of her young age, she really is quite clever in setting up traps. Although her personality is quite energetic and mischievous now, she had lived an awful past which still haunts her to this day. She dislikes Kabocha, and cannot tell the difference between cauliflower and broccoli.
Rena Ryugu
She moved back to Hinamizawa one year before and is in the same grade-level as Keiichi. She tends to end sentences with ~kana, kana as a reference to the noise that the cicadas make around the area. She has an obsession with things she perceives as cute - generally, these things are not considered cute by others.
Every now and then, she goes treasure hunting in the town's trash heap (which has its own sordid past), searching for cute things to collect. According to Mion, while Rena might look cutesy, people should be careful not to anger her, as she becomes quite scary when angered. When she needs a weapon, she uses a special cleaver that she must have found at the trash heap.
Keiichi Maebara
The main protagonist who has just recently moved to Hinamizawa. His charismatic and remarkable talent in speech makes him capable of making new friends and forging amiable social relationships. Throughout the series, he gradually becomes paranoid due to the strange events surrounding the town and the supposed curse of Oyashiro-sama. This paranoia has different severities depending on the chapter and works in different ways. When he needs a weapon, he uses Satoshi's old baseball bat.
Mion Sonozaki
The oldest classmate in Keiichi's class. As the elder, she is the class president and everyone looks up to her as a leader. Her social skills are on par with Keiichi, whom she highly respects as a dear friend and rival (Though it is later shown that she has deep affections for him). She often calls herself ojisan meaning old man. She is also the next-in-line for the head of the Sonozaki household, which holds tremendous influence in Hinamizawa. She is often seen with a holstered airsoft gun.
Shion Sonozaki
Mion's identical twin sister who currently resides in Okinomiya. In spite of their different personalities, she and Mion often switch places and it eventually becomes difficult to distinguish who is who. Meakashi-hen is told from her point of view. She works at the Angel-Mort restaurant and is also the team manager's assistant for the Hinamizawa Fighters little league team. She is often seen carrying a taser.
