{{main|List of characters in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
;{{Nihongo|[[Keiichi Maebara]]|前原 圭一|Maebara Keiichi}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Sōichirō Hoshi|Sōichirō Hoshi]]}}
*A balanced character with strong melee attacks and good ranged attacks.
**'''Transfer student's
**'''Invincible
**'''Evidence destructor
;{{Nihongo|[[Rena Ryuuguu|Rena Ryūgū]]|竜宮 レナ|Ryūgū Rena}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Mai Nakahara|Mai Nakahara]]}}
*Like Keiichi, Rena is a balanced character with no particular weak points.
**'''Favorite
**'''Blade-split axe''': The axe offers a brutal playstyle, though at the expense of her ranged attacks. She becomes specialized in disabling and wide area attacks, but with much less accuracy.
**'''Ironclad cleaver''' ''(expansion)'': The huge ironclad cleaver drastically changes her gameplay. Because of the blade heaviness, she cannot cancel her attacks, moves rather slowly, dashes on the ground for a much shorter distance and drains her stamina bar quicker on aerial movements. However, her attack power is extremely powered up, while her defense power halves the damage she takes and also offers her some resilience on hit stun, much like Oyashiro Hypermode. Also, her voice changes to reflect her delusional state when wielding this blade.
;{{Nihongo|[[Mion Sonozaki]]|園崎 魅音|Sonozaki Mion}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Satsuki Yukino|Satsuki Yukino]]}}
*Mion is an agile ranged attack specialist, being weak in melee combat.
**'''
**'''Specially loaded
**'''Anti-riot
;{{Nihongo|[[Shion Sonozaki]]|園崎 詩音|Sonozaki Shion}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Satsuki Yukino|Satsuki Yukino]]}}
*Shion is fragile melee character, lacking of good melee range. However, her speed and agility balance her handicap very well. Unlike her sister, ranged attacks are not her forte.
**'''Combat knives''': Designed for her standard playstyle, the knives are suitable for
**'''Modified
**'''Torture chamber whips''' ''(expansion)'': The whips give her more opportunity to deal with ranged characters and can harass high defense melee characters, as the hitstun completely incapacitates the target and can deal damage on knocked characters.
;{{Nihongo|[[Rika Furude]]|古手 梨花|Furude Rika}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Yukari Tamura|Yukari Tamura]]}}
*Rika is a very slow and fragile character, lacking of melee options. However, she is extremely at ease whilst airborne, being a very versatile aerial fighter.
**'''Ceremonial
**'''Anti-cleaver girl mop''': The mop is more specialized on widespread damage. The large energy attacks can bypass obstacles and buildings.
**'''Scythe from the ritual tools shrine''' ''(expansion)'': The scythe changes her playstyle completely. While her defense is still a bit low, Rika has much better physical traits, being much more efficient on ground with much faster and stronger dash and melee attacks at the expense on her aerial abilities. While her ranged attacks aren't that powerful anymore, they are very efficient for any range with good damage, giving her a very nice balance between melee and ranged options. Much like Rena, this weapon changes her personality, being much more serious and cynical about fate and life.
;{{Nihongo|[[Satoko Hōjō]]|北条 沙都子|Hōjō Satoko}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Mika Kanai|Mika Kanai]]}}
*Satoko is a very unpredictable melee character, dealing surprise attacks with a flexible pattern, though the damage is very weak. To compensate this handicap, she has various and different options for any range.
**'''Selected
**'''Satoko's Trap Lecture''': Her trap mode is unique since she has no range attacks in that mode, but she can set traps that does various kinds of damage to whoever on the opposing team that activates the traps.
**'''Homing fireworks set''' ''(expansion)'': This set of fireworks are much more powerful, giving her some solid options to deal huge damage. Consequently, the amount of ammo and the reload speed are fairly inferior to the first fireworks set. The missiles have a serious explosion attribute, which are better for the damage aspect, but can be a double edged weapon as she can hit her partner or even herself in the process.
;{{Nihongo|[[Jirō Tomitake]]|富竹 ジロウ|Tomitake Jirō}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Tōru Ōkawa|Tōru Ōkawa]]}}
*Tomitake is a strong melee character, with a moderate range and a good defense.
**'''Survival camera''': The survival camera is rather unusual, playing with the line of sight of the opponents regardless the range between him and his target(s), with weak but very fast ranged attacks. Tomitake can also blind his opponents.
**'''Spiritual camera''': The spiritual camera is a standard weapon, giving him a usual and direct approach in ranged damage.
**'''
;{{Nihongo|[[Miyo Takano]]|鷹野 三四|Takano Miyo}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Miki Ito|Miki Ito]]}}
*Takano is a support character, specialized in ranged damaging attacks. While she isn't exactly an autonomous ranged character, her support can be very effective, depending of her partner.
**'''Toxic
**'''Poisonous
**'''Reinforcement
;{{Nihongo|'''[[Kuraudo Ōishi]]'''|大石 蔵人|Ōishi Kuraudo}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Chafurin|Chafurin]]}}
*Ōishi is a very tough character, having a very high attack and defense power. Consequently, his ranged options and speed are compromised in exchange.
**'''Favorite
**'''Hyper arm''': This "weapon" makes Oishi specialized on brute force: he is able to grab his opponent and use him/her as a projectile. A very effective playstyle against tough melee characters, but it makes him completely helpless in term of mid and long range.
**'''The confiscatory''' ''(expansion)'': The confiscatory gives him the ability to randomly pick up a ranged weapon, which improves a lot his usually poor ranged abilities.
;{{Nihongo|[[Mamoru Akasaka]]|赤坂 衛|Akasaka Mamoru}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Takehito Koyasu|Takehito Koyasu]], [[w:Daisuke Ono|Daisuke Ono]] (PSP version)}}
*Akasaka is similar to Keiichi, being balanced in melee and ranged attacks. Of course, he doesn't have the range, nor the swiftness of his youth counterpart, but has a higher attack power and a slightly better defense.

;{{Nihongo|[[Kyōsuke Irie]]|入江 京介|Irie Kyōsuke}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Toshihiko Seki|Toshihiko Seki]]}}
*Irie is another support character, specialized in status ailment ranged attacks. Much like Takano, Irie isn't exactly effective as a stand-alone character, but his teamwork is very effective.
**'''Irie's deluxe medical treatment set''': This first set deals low damage, but has the unique ability to heal his partner, whenever they are either hit by the projectiles or standing on the healing circles. It isn't required to aim the partner to heal them, as even stray projectiles will heal them.
Line 105 ⟶ 104:
**'''Irie's deluxe support set''' ''(expansion)'': This third set deals average damage. Much like the two other sets, this one has a unique ability: boosting either the Attack or Defense power (or both) of your partner. The buffs duration can be extended, but the boost values are static.
;{{Nihongo|[[Rumiko Chie]]|知恵 留美子|Chie Rumiko}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Fumiko Orikasa|Fumiko Orikasa]]}}
*Chie is a fast and very agile character, having the largest combo moves set. Her movements resemble her model
**'''Lecture-use
**'''Lecture-use
**'''Lecture-use
;{{Nihongo|[[Akane Sonozaki]]|園崎 茜|Sonozaki Akane}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Kikuko Inoue|Kikuko Inoue]]}}
*Akane is a very fast melee character, dealing great damage without having trouble to get close to an enemy. She has however a low defense and the "lag" between each melee attack make her approach a risk.
**'''{{Nihongo|Mumei|無銘}}''': The Mumei is very efficient in ranged attacks, giving her a good ranged support for her melee moves.
**'''{{Nihongo|Tamahiki|玉弾き}}''': The Tamahiki plays much more on melee playstyle. While Akane cannot deal with characters from afar due the lack of projectiles, this weapon offers some support on her movements, making her approach easier. Much like how the name of the weapon suggests (''lit. Shell Repeller''), this weapon has the unique and innate ability to nullify any ranged attack if Akane hits the projectile with a good timing.
**'''[[w:Iaido|Iai]]
;{{Nihongo|[[Tatsuyoshi Kasai]]|葛西 辰由|Kasai Tatsuyoshi}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Fumihiko Tachiki|Fumihiko Tachiki]]}}
*Tatsuyoshi Kasai is a tough ranged character. Despite his stiff and slow movements, his defense and arsenal give him the ability to outlast any standard ranged characters.

;{{Nihongo|[[Hanyū]]|羽入}}
:{{animevoices|[[w:Yui Horie|Yui Horie]]}}
*Hanyū is a new character, added in the expansion, not available in the story mode. She is the character with the worst defense, which makes her extremely fragile against brutal characters and melee in general. However, her weapons are flexible enough to deal with her weakness.
**'''God's World''': This first power gives her the ability to reflect any projectile with magical barriers. She can also freeze her opponents briefly, which can stall them (especially their hypermode, since the freeze effect doesn't stop the hypermode drain). Her final ability is a complete Time stop, freezing everything except herself for several seconds; this move is actually a parody of the same abilities exhibited by two characters from ''[[w:JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', namely the character [[w:Dio Brando|Dio Brando]]; Hanyū even parodies one of his phrases when activating the technique. This weapon gives her the options to deal with both melee and ranged opponents and to support her partner as well.
**'''{{nihongo|[[Onigari no Ryūō]]|鬼狩柳桜}}''': This second power gives her the ability to use energy attacks. It sets her playstyle into a more direct but ranged aspect. Onigari no Ryūō has also a unique special trait: Any Hypermode will transform Hanyū into a serious and wrathful self and will reveal the true form of Onigari no Ryūō: a sacred demon banishing sword. This "wrath mode" also doubles the usual duration of the hypermode, optimizing the effect of this state. This "fury state" gives her new melee and ranged attacks moves set and drastically increases her melee and ranged attack power.
;{{Nihongo|[[Natsumi Kimiyoshi]]|公由 夏美|Kimiyoshi Natsumi}}
{{animevoices|[[w:Kaori Mizuhashi|Kaori Mizuhashi]]}}
*Natsumi is a new character, added in the expansion, not available in the story mode. She is a swift melee character, more balanced in regards of defense, while her speed doesn't completely match Shion's. She has however much more problem to deal with ranged characters, as her ranged options are inferior than most melee characters.
