Family heads

Kinzo Ushiromiya (右代宮 金蔵, Ushiromiya Kinzō)

Voiced by: Mugihito, Daisuke Ono (young)

Kinzo is the elderly head of the Ushiromiya family and the owner of Rokkenjima. Throughout the first four games, Kinzo's body frequently turns up burnt in the incinerator of the mansion's underground boiler room as a means to conceal how long he had been dead, and is identified as Kinzo due to his polydactyly, distinguished by having six toes on each foot. In life, Kinzo held his children in contempt, viewing them as vultures ready to feast on his inheritance as soon as he died. He would rarely leave his large study, which contains various commodities such as a bed and bathroom. He was also a rabid practitioner of black magic and the occult, his shelves lined with volumes of grimoires. One of his most prominent obsessions was Beatrice, a witch he is said to have summoned and contracted for ten tons worth of gold.

Sayo Yasuda (安田紗代, Yasuda Sayo)

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (original), Rie Kugimiya (Ougon Musou Kyoku)

Sayo, also known as "Yasu" (ヤス), shortened from "Yasuda" (安田), is the true human identity of Beatrice. She is the secret family head of the Ushiromiya family, who took over after Kinzo's death in 1984. Her birth name is Lion Ushiromiya, but she was given the name Sayo Yasuda by Genji in an effort to hide her real identity. Sayo is a child born from the incest between Kinzo and his daughter Beatrice Ushiromiya, making Sayo both Kinzo's child and grandchild. Sayo's birth sex is kept hidden throughout the game. Her true last name was only revealed in Requiem of the Golden Witch, while her first name, Sayo is revealed in Legend of the Golden Witch. When Lion was still a baby, the servant carrying her was pushed off a cliff by Natsuhi, resulting in the servant's death and the mutilation of Lion's lower abdominal area. Fortunately Genji managed to save her life with Nanjo's help. She was raised in the Fukuin House under the name "Sayo Yasuda" to avoid Natsuhi's suspicions regarding her true identity. It was said that Genji had to hide Sayo, from another potential incestuous advance by Kinzo. Sayo has since been living on Rokkenjima, disguised as the servants "Shannon" and "Kanon". Her full appearance is only revealed in the manga.

Kinzo's immediate children and potential heirs to his fortune.

Krauss Ushiromiya (右代宮 蔵臼, Ushiromiya Kurausu)

Voiced by: Jūrōta Kosugi

Kinzo's first child and eldest son. He is the current heir of the Ushiromiya family, and leads the family conference on Kinzo's behalf. He is a real estate investor and plans to turn Rokkenjima into a resort, but has wasted most of his funds. He thus hides Kinzo's death from his younger siblings in an attempt to monopolize Kinzo's fortune. His daughter, Jessica, also has little respect for him, particularly due to the pressure he places on her to become a suitable successor to the Ushiromiya family after him. Despite always swaggering about, Krauss holds genuine remorse for all the troubles he put his family through. He is known to have taken up boxing in his youth, and still possesses quite a bit of skill in that area. Unlike his siblings, he lives on Rokkenjima with his father, wife, and daughter.

Eva Ushiromiya (右代宮 絵羽, Ushiromiya Eba)

Voiced by: Miki Itō (Japanese); Cynthia Cranz (English)

Kinzo's second child and eldest daughter. Eva is hostile towards her older brother Krauss out of discontent for her family's patriarchal tradition, which places her in a position inferior to her brother in the family hierarchy. She rallies her younger siblings against Krauss to try and extort money out of him, though with limited success. She is skilled in various forms of martial arts, and is said to be excellent at cooking. Under normal circumstances, Eva would have been out of the family register upon marrying her husband, Hideyoshi. She gave birth before Krauss and raised her son George strictly so he could become the head of the family. She is also condescending towards Natsuhi for not being related to the Ushiromiya family by blood, and acts cruelly towards Shannon, who she suspects of being George's lover. Despite her insidious personality, however, she treasures her husband and son dearly and fears that they dislike her for using them out of revenge towards her brother.

Rudolf Ushiromiya (右代宮 留弗夫, Ushiromiya Rudorufu)

Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama

Rudolf is Kinzo's third child. He was known as a philanderer in his youth and had impregnated his business partner and old girlfriend Kyrie before he married his first wife Asumu. After Asumu's death, he immediately remarried with Kyrie, leading to a falling out with his son Battler (who believed Asumu to have been his mother), who ran away from home to his maternal grandparents for six years. Rudolf is still known to chat up young women from time to time, though this does not seem to disturb Kyrie. He seeks Kinzo's fortune to settle a court case in America. He is an avid lover of Western films and an impressive marksman.

Rosa Ushiromiya (右代宮 楼座, Ushiromiya Rōza)

Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu

Rosa is Kinzo's fourth child. As the youngest of her siblings, she has the least influence at the family conference. Her husband abandoned her shortly before the birth of her daughter and only child, Maria. Rosa is the president of a small design company, "Anti-Rosa", and thus seeks out Kinzo's inheritance to pay off her co-endorsers. On the surface, Rosa appears to be the most sensible and soothing of all the siblings. However, as a result of being downtrodden by her older siblings in her childhood and forced to endure the pressures of a single mother, she frequently loses control of her emotions and responds violently to her daughter's childish behavior and overenthusiastic approach to the occult. Her relationship with Maria is complicated by how she does not spend enough time with her daughter. Though Maria knows her mother's behavior, she also suspects that Rosa resents her. Her former relationship with Maria's father was once happy, and the two had signed a co-endorsed loan which would later on cause financial problems for him. As a result he left when Rosa became pregnant, saddling her with both Maria and a large debt. Despite the things he's done, Rosa believes that once she has paid off her debt that he will come back to her and become a proper father to Maria.

First descendants' spouses

Natsuhi Ushiromiya (右代宮 夏妃, Ushiromiya Natsuhi)

Voiced by: Emi Shinohara (Japanese); Wendy Powell (English)

Krauss' wife. Born into a family of Shinto priests, Natsuhi discarded her old life when she married into the Ushiromiya family. She is a very proud woman who holds her new family's name in high regard, and is in charge of managing the family head house and family conferences. However, her efforts are undervalued by her husband, and she is often afflicted with headaches. She holds a bitter rivalry with Eva, who mocks her for not being related to the Ushiromiya family by blood. She is also incredibly strict towards her daughter Jessica, but only out of concern that she becomes an ideal heiress to the Ushiromiya family.

Hideyoshi Ushiromiya (右代宮 秀吉, Ushiromiya Hideyoshi)

Voiced by: Masashi Hirose (Japanese); Kent Williams (English)

Eva's husband. Hideyoshi is a very jovial man whose cheerful nature manages to tone down the tension between the siblings during their various meetings. Having lost his family in World War II, he willingly adopted the name "Ushiromiya" when he married Eva. He is the successful president of a chain of fast food restaurants, but seeks Kinzo's fortune due to people trying to buy all the shares in his company. He speaks with a fake Kansai accent (US Southern accent in the English translation), which he is said to be too embarrassed to use against actual people from the Kansai region of Japan.

Kyrie Ushiromiya (右代宮 霧江, Ushiromiya Kirie)

Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka

Kyrie is Rudolf's second wife. She is also one of Rudolf's business partners, always assisting him in shady dealings and keeping him in line when he gets out of hand. Kyrie and Battler have bonded more as close friends with a sibling-like relationship rather than mother and son. She has a "flip the chessboard" mentality to work out mental problems, and influences Battler in this regard. She had dated Rudolf long before his first wife Asumu, who she envied for marrying Rudolf while she was still going out with him.

Second generation descendants

Jessica Ushiromiya (右代宮 朱志香, Ushiromiya Jeshika)

Voiced by: Marina Inoue (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski (English)

Krauss and Natsuhi's 18-year-old daughter. Although Jessica is the heiress of the Ushiromiya family after her father, she is an energetic and tomboyish young woman who lacks the more refined behavior expected of such a role. Due to her rebellious nature, she is resentful of her parents for the pressures they place on her regarding the family headship, but still shows concern for them. She has a habit of faking asthma attacks as a means of escaping from tense situations. She has a crush on the servant Kanon, which is reciprocated to some extent. She is also proficient in the use of brass knuckles thanks to her father training her in Boxing.

George Ushiromiya (右代宮 譲治, Ushiromiya Jōji)

Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (Japanese); Josh Grelle (English)

Eva and Hideyoshi's 23-year-old son. He is the oldest of Kinzo's grandchildren, and an exceptional and diligent young adult. He was brought up by Eva specifically with the family headship in mind, works at his father's company as an apprentice, and is a skilled martial artist like his mother. He respects his parents greatly, though he admittedly finds his mother overbearing. He is in love with the servant Shannon and proposes to her, making him her fiancé. Believing that his romance with a servant would be frowned upon by his family, however, he is fully willing and prepared to face the consequences.

George is admired by everyone in his family, especially his cousins, who view him as their older brother and peacemaker. In his youth, however, he had been jealous of their more independent and impulsive lifestyles, particularly Battler, as unlike him, his mother made him do various things in his youth in order to shape him into the next head. As a result, he put up a more condescending mask towards his cousins, but has since outgrown this inferiority complex to a certain degree.

Battler Ushiromiya (右代宮 戦人, Ushiromiya Batora)

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese); Kyle Igneczi (English)

Battler is Rudolf's 18-year-old son, and the main protagonist of the first four games of the series. Although stubborn and hotheaded, he is a very compassionate young man. He tends to flirt with young women and has a perpetual fear of "shaky" transportation, thinking he may fall out of a plane or boat depending on the turbulence. Due to his father's remarriage, Battler rebelled and went to live with his maternal grandparents for the next six years, cutting all ties to the Ushiromiya family. After his grandparents' deaths, he returned to his family, though he had not fully reconciled with his father. He is greatly influenced by Kyrie's "flip the chessboard" mindset, which allows him to predict his enemies' thoughts based on the situation at hand. He has a habit of saying Dameda, zenzen dameda (駄目だ、全然駄目だ, lit. "It's useless, it's all useless") when in a difficult situation. One of the main themes of the series is Battler's disbelief in the existence of witches and magic when his family and friends are murdered in the mysterious ways. Though he is convinced that the culprit is human, he is reluctant to suspect his loved ones as the culprits.

Maria Ushiromiya (右代宮 真里亞, Ushiromiya Maria)

Voiced by: Yui Horie (Japanese); Sarah Wiedenheft (English)

Maria is Rosa's nine-year-old daughter. She has a long-standing habit of uttering "ūū" (うーうー) whenever excited or upset. She is very honest and naïve, as shown by her tendency to easily believe lies and take jokes very seriously. While she loves her mother, Maria subconsciously resents that Rosa's long and frequent absences have made her lonely and wishes Rosa would spend more time with her. Having no interest in friends or studies, Maria has an extensive knowledge of the occult. There have been instances, usually when Beatrice or the occult is involved, where she acts very creepy. She believes avidly in Beatrice's existence, and gets mad at anyone who questions it; she even claims to have met and played with Beatrice on multiple occasions. Her interest in the occult and black magic is shared with Kinzo.

Ange Ushiromiya (右代宮 縁寿, Ushiromiya Enje)

Ange is Rudolf and Kyrie's six-year-old daughter, and Battler's sister. She could not come to the island in 1986 due to sickness.

Great Demons

The Great Demons of the 72 Pillars are the highest ranking earls of Hell, based on the 72 Demons from The Lesser Key of Solomon.

He often serves black tea and cookies to Beatrice and her guests. Nonchalant, he often bears a mysterious smile that is hard to interpret, even for his master. Even though he is bound by contract with Beatrice, he does not hesitate to state facts to tease her. He utilizes barriers for both offense and defense, generating strong ones to both deflect attacks and launch enemies backwards. He can also use a special barrier that returns damage back to the attacker. He is the demon form of Genji Ronoue.

Voiced by: Yuki Kaida

Gaap is the 33rd highest ranking earl of hell named after the demon of the same name. She is a curly-haired woman who wears a red dress and a hat with a pink bow. Quite flamboyant, Gaap loves to tease people and gives people random nicknames by shortening their names ("Riiche" for Beatrice, "Lia" for Virgilia, etc.). She is one of Beatrice's friends, though she is greatly disliked by Virgilia. In the fury of battle, she uses a combination of these portals and various kicks that stab with her sharp heels, overwhelming her opponent and keeping them from moving.

Zepar (ゼパル, Zeparu)

Voiced by: Mitsuki Saiga

Zepar is the 16th highest ranking earl of hell, named after the demon of the same name, and is Furfur's twin.

The Seven Stakes of Purgatory

The Seven Stakes of Purgatory (煉獄の七杭, Rengoku no Shichikui), also known as the Seven Sisters of Purgatory (煉獄の七姉妹, Rengoku no Nana Shimai), are the weapons which are said to be controlled by Beatrice. There are seven of them, named after the corresponding demons of the seven deadly sins, and each one can gain power from said sin. The Stakes of Purgatory are described as being inescapable. Only powerful mages can control the Stakes of Purgatory, but they cannot hurt any who have not committed the sins, or have strong magical resistance. The Stakes can take on a human form and their true form, a powerful stake.

While in human form, they rely on their blades of light for offense, switching to stake form to dodge attacks and get in their opponent's blind spot. As for their stake form, while smaller, they are many times faster and can kill by impalement. They can also bounce off walls and anything blocking their way, able to attack from any angle. However, in human form, they are far from invincible, and can still be injured or even killed if shot by guns. In Turn of the Golden Witch, the Stakes of Purgatory first appeared in human form, taking the shape of young girls, each with a different personality, but all have red irises. They can be distinguished through hair styles and colors. They represent the seven stakes with satanic inscriptions owned by Kinzo.

Voiced by: Yuka Saitō

Representing the fallen angel Lucifer and the corresponding sin of pride, she is the eldest among all the Stakes of Purgatory and acts as their leader. Lucifer is based on the servant Lunon (瑠音). She is extremely insecure, knowing herself to be the most inferior to her sisters, and fears what they would do if they found out. As such, she acts arrogant and conceited to keep her weaknesses from being discovered. Despite that, she takes pleasure in surrendering on her own accord. Lucifer's appearance is a girl with long, straight black hair.

Leviathan of Envy (嫉妬のレヴィアタン, Shitto no Reviatan)

Voiced by: Madoka Yonezawa

Representing the demon Leviathan and the corresponding sin of envy, she is the second eldest of the Stakes of Purgatory, and the self-fashioned representative of the younger sisters to Lucifer. Leviathan is based on the servant Lenon (恋音). By nature, she is a jealous, selfish crybaby who will do anything to win. Her otherwise brutal personality allows her to easily pinpoint the weaknesses of others. Unfortunately for her, she is clumsy at everything she does and always comes out last at everything she and her sisters do together. Leviathan's appearance is a girl with wavy, middle-length green hair.

Satan of Wrath (憤怒のサタン, Fundō no Satan)

Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa

Representing the demon Satan and the corresponding sin of wrath, she is the third eldest of the Stakes of Purgatory, based on the servant Sanon (玲音). She is easily angered and speaks with scornful inflection, making her the most feared out of the sisters, including by the sisters themselves. Since people are too afraid to talk back at her, she often becomes lonely. She often tries to intentionally anger her sisters so they can be angry with her, but to no avail. Satan's appearance is a girl with short, curly pale hair.

Belphegor of Sloth (怠惰のベルフェゴール, Taida no Berufegōru)

Voiced by: Seiko Yoshida

Representing the demon Belphegor and the corresponding sin of sloth, she is the middle child of the Stakes of Purgatory, based on the servant Leinon (礼音). She is hard-working and sensible, but only so that her master can become a lazy pig and fall all the harder. In terms of her motives, Belphegor can be said to be the most demonic of all her sisters.

Mammon of Greed (強欲のマモン, Gōyoku no Mamon)

Voiced by: Ayano Niina

Representing the demon Mammon and the corresponding sin of greed, she is the third youngest of the Stakes of Purgatory, based on the servant Manon (眞音).

Unlike the other Stakes, however, she is the most honest emotionally. Mammon's appearance is a girl with long brown hair.

She wants to fall in love, and is willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of it. Due to her young age, she is treated affectionately by everyone, but is not taken seriously among the sisters. This makes her wish all the harder for her knight in shining armor to arrive and help her be accepted as an adult, though such a thing is nothing more than a delusion. Asmodeus' appearance is a girl with long, blonde, straight hair in two pony tails.

Chiester Sister Imperial Guard Corps

The Chiester Sister Imperial Guard Corps (シエスタ姉妹近衛兵, Shiesuta Shimai Konoehei) are bunny-girl weapons who can only be summoned by witches and sorcerers with a substantial amount of summoning skills. They are also called "Siesta" as a result a mistranslation. They attack using bows and arrows of light that fire potent beams of light which kill instantly on impact; the lone exception being Battler due to his invincible anti-magic shield. In End of the Golden Witch it is revealed that whoever is the Game Master is also immune. It is said that there is no escape from the Chiesters' attacks, and they can even locate targets from far parts of the island and retrieve the corpses of whom they have killed; despite this, the Chiesters appear to be far from fearless, being terrified away twice when it appeared that their attacks had been useless against both Beatrice and Battler in Banquet of the Golden Witch. They have red eyes, bunny ears, and elaborate military-styled outfits. They represent four guns owned by Kinzo, as well as four bunny toys owned by Maria.

Chiester 556 is named after the 5.56×45mm NATO rifle cartridge. Chiester 556 wears a purple uniform and has short black hair. She is said to be dead after having been killed by a "Black Witch". This is suggested to be a metaphor for Rosa ripping apart one of Maria's four bunny toys. She was in charge of firing support and guard. In life, she is said to have been teased by the other Chiesters, but only out of love for her. At the end she was resurrected on the Golden Land thanks to Ange-Beatrice's magic.

Eiserne Jungfrau

Eiserne Jungfrau (アイゼルネ・ユングフラウ, Aizerune Yungufurau) is a clergy introduced in End of the Golden Witch. Its name literally means "Iron Maiden" in German. It is a redemption enforcement agency supervised by the Great Court of Heaven, tasked with carrying out interrogations and executions of those who have committed heresy, particularly witches. It is made up of seven Inquisitors, led by Archbishop Dlanor A. Knox, and several other Assistant Inquisitors. Eiserne Jungfrau boasts a great number of spectacular achievements in witch-hunting, and is extremely well known among other agencies.

Inquisitors are armed with two kinds of weapons: the Red Key and the Blue Key. These weapons do not cause physical damage, but instead attack concepts. The Red Key is used to deny the existence of concepts, particularly the concept of witches, and cannot be blocked, avoided, or stalled. The Blue Key is used to cause concepts to waver and create self-doubt in the intended target, though it can be defended against. The Keys take different shapes depending on the Inquisitors who wield them. In heresy trials, the Eiserne Jungfrauen enforce a set of ten commandments created by Dlanor A. Knox's father known as "Knox's Decalogue".

Dlanor A. Knox (ドラノール・A・ノックス, Doranōru Ē Nokkusu)

Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro

Dlanor is Chief Inquisitor of Eiserne Jungfrau and a first-class archbishop, popularly known as "Dlanor of the Ten Wedges" and "Death Sentence Dlanor". She is named after Ronald Knox, and even upholds Knox's Decalogue during her debates. She has the appearance of a young girl with lavender hair and yellow eyes, and wears a uniform similar to that of a cleric. She is cold towards witches and takes her duties very seriously. Despite her duties as a witch-hunter, however, she is old friends with Virgilia.

Her main weapons are her Red Key and Blue Key, which take the forms of a longsword and shortsword, respectively. She is only dispatched by the Great Court as a last resort after a case is vigorously inspected. Her father created Knox's Decalogue and was a legendary Inquisitor, but broke his own commandments and was interrogated and executed by Dlanor herself, who stopped aging physically and mentally afterward for mysterious reasons.

Cornelia (コーネリア, Kōneria)

Voiced by: Risa Asaki

Cornelia is an aide in Eiserne Jungfrau, and a third-class priest. She wears a cleric-like uniform and appears as a girl with red eyes and bobbed brown hair decorated with yellow ribbons. She has a strong sense of justice, but despite her cold exterior shared by her comrades, she is quite hot-blooded in nature.

Gertrude (ガートルード, Gātorūdo)

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō

Gertrude is a senior aide in Eiserne Jungfrau, and a first-class priest. She wears a uniform similar to Cornelia's, and appears as a girl with red eyes and long blonde hair. Like her comrades, she appears extremely deadpan when on duty, but is actually a very charitable character well liked by her juniors. She was offered a position as an Inquisitor like Dlanor, but she kindly refused.

SSVD

SSVD is another famous redemption agency supervised by the Great Court of Heaven, formally introduced in Requiem of the Golden Witch. Its name is an abbreviation of mystery fiction writer S. S. Van Dine. Inquisitors from SSVD are generally more rigid and fundamentalistic in their jurisdiction than Eiserne Jungfrau, and their conservative values garner both criticism for being outdated and praise for preserving their original intentions.

Willard H. Wright (ウィラード・H・ライト, Wirādo H Raito)

Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi

Willard is a former first-class archbishop and Chief Inquisitor of SSVD, called Will (ウィル, Wiru) for short. He is named after Willard Wright and enforces Van Dine's Commandments. A young ace inquisitor once feared by witches for his cold and ruthless tactics, he gained the nicknames "Wright of the Twenty Wedges" and "Wizard-Hunting Wright". Over time, however, he grew malcontent with SSVD's brutal standards and resigned from his position. Although he appears gruff and quick to anger, he is genuinely good-hearted and opts to be as lenient as possible during his investigations.

Other Furniture

Sakutaro (さくたろう, Sakutarō)

Voiced by: Minori Chihara

Sakutaro is a stuffed lion doll handmade by Rosa and given to Maria for her birthday. He became Maria's furniture when she gave him a soul through magic. His name was originally intended to be "Sakura" (さくら, based on a veiled reference to Cardcaptor Sakura), but since "Sakura" is traditionally a female name, Maria derived from it and added the male suffix tarō (たろう). In reality, Sakutaro is a normal stuffed animal who Maria simply imagines to be alive, viewing him as one of her most beloved friends. His vessel takes the shape of a simple lion cub, while his human form has the appearance of a young boy with blond hair, red eyes, an orange cap with pointed ears, and an oversized yellow jacket; he wears a red muffler given to him by Maria in both of his forms. He is innocent and shy, and often utters the phrase uryū (うりゅー).

He is incredibly popular among the Sisters of Purgatory, who never waste an opportunity to pounce and cuddle him all at once, much to his dismay. As furniture under a witch of Mariage Sorcière, he serves as a non-aggressive diplomat with the ability to produce barriers and negate magical attacks to protect Maria, though his defensive powers pale in comparison to more experienced furniture.

Clair Vaux Bernardus (クレル・ヴォーブ・ベルナルドゥス, Kureru Vōbu Berunarudusu)

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara

Clair is the original form of Sayo's Beatrice, who is made to match the image of a ghost that haunts Rokkenjima with a pure white dress and contrasting personality.

Goat Butlers (山羊の従者, Yagi no Jūsha)

The Goat Butlers are low-level furniture that serve under Beatrice. They commonly appear as largely built men with goat heads and glowing red eyes, similar to a minotaur; there are also females among them, but they are difficult to distinguish. Although faithful to their master, they are lumbering and simple-minded creatures that often misinterpret orders similar to the manner an animal would than a human, and are inferior to most other furniture. However, they pose more than a threat to average humans with their superhuman strength, extremely high resilience to otherwise lethal blows and wounds (save for a gunshot to the head, their weak point), and taste for human flesh. They are seemingly endless in number, allowing an inexhaustible supply of them to be summoned. Their main weapon is a purple blade of light extending from their hands.
