Conception
In 2007, Takahiro was asked to do a manga for Square Enix magazine. He originally came up with the idea of an "all-female band of assassins, and the protagonist is a boy who is captured by them and has to work for them." After his editor approved the idea, he waited on serialization until his company had stabilized and had released two other titles, during which he developed the characters, story and world. In August 2009, following the release of Majikoi - Oh! Samurai Girls, Takahiro looked for an artist for the serialization, and recruited Tashiro Tetsuya to do the illustrations. He liked Tashiro's ability to draw fast-paced action scenes and that he can draw cute girls.Takahiro has written additional background information and profiles about some of the characters in the postscripts of the volume compilations, such as for the [|Three Beasts] and the [|Jaegers]. The Danger Beasts were conceived to be any creature that attacks the humans in the world and are similar to monsters seen in role-playing games with different classifications from Class 4 to Class 1, and Special and Super Class designations at the top for the legendary beasts.

When he tries to defend that girl from Night Raid, he soon discovers that the girl had actually tortured and killed his comrades, so he kills her and is recruited to join Night Raid, He accepts, as their actions of fighting corruption would eventually help his village. His primary weapon is a short sword, but he later inherits Bulat's Teigu "Demon Armor: Incursio", which was created from the still living flesh of an adaptive dragon Danger Beast called Tyrant. While normally a short sword, Incursio can form armor around the user and grant them powers such as invisibility and superhuman strength; in addition, the armor can evolve due to Tyrant's innate adaptive ability, improving itself to better protect the user. However, Tatsumi's continued use of Incursio takes a toll on his body, and his body and his humanity are consumed by Tyrant.

Her treason sparks an intense rivalry between fellow assassin and sibling Kurome, along with a mutual desire to be the one to end the other. In Night Raid, she assumes the cooking duties prior to Tatsumi joining the group. While she originally used the Shingu "Kiriichimonji", a sword capable of inflicting wounds that never heal, Akame acquired Gozuki's Imperial Arm "One Slice Kill: Murasame" whose poison blade instantly kills whoever it cuts. During the final battle with Esdeath, as a final resort due to the method of activation, Akame activates Murasame's Little War Horn Trump Card to permanently boost her physical abilities by increasing her density so she can kill Esdeath with her weapon destroyed in the process. Following the revolution, still an assassin, Akame leaves the empire to deal with those in neighboring nations that might take advantage of the weakened government.

However, his user will die after commanding him to use this move three times. This does not always happen, as Najenda uses it three times and continues to live; she states that this is possible because Susanoo chose to take his own life to spare Najenda's.

This allows her to get within arms reach of her targets where she uses acupuncture needles to stab them in vital locations. After ambushing and killing Bols, she tries to assassinate Kurome, but fails as Kurome survives the puncture inflicted by her needle. She is then killed by Kurome's corpse puppets. Her severed head is placed on a stake in the town square to hurt Night Raid's morale and the rest of her body devoured by Coro.

But what the Emperor did not know was that Honest had Dorothea alchemically modify Shikoutazer with a trump card only he can activate on command or as a deadman's switch: Purge Mode. In Purge Mode, Shikoutazer's armor breaks off to reveal its monstrous appearance while the emperor's mind is warped with bloodlust.

Esdeath then selected her Imperial Arm "Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract", the blood of a Danger Beast that she assimilated into her circulatory system to gain the power to create and manipulate ice. Esdeath later invented various ways to control her powers that include a Trump Card which allows her to momentarily freeze time. Esdeath used her abilities to conquer the Northern lands, encasing her enemies in ice, before being summoned back to the capital to deal with Night Raid as leader of the Jaegers after her Three Beasts fell against them.Although she is strong at fighting and enjoys torture, Esdeath found herself occupied with love and obsessed over Tatsumi after seeing him battle in a fighting tournament. With Esdeath unaware of his ties to Night Raid, Tatsumi tried talking her into joining the Revolutionary Army. Tatsumi eventually gives up upon learning Esdeath's life story and realizing she is beyond redemption. Esdeath learns of Tatsumi's ties to the Night Raid and attempts to offer him a pardon in exchange for his total submission to her. However, after Tatsumi's escape, Esdeath accepts her love for Tatsumi as one-sided while resolving to fight him to the death during the Revolutionary Army's siege on the Imperial capital. While Tatsumi deals with the Shikoutazer, Esdeath battles Akame and ends up amputating her own arm when it was exposed to Murasame's poison.

He assumed himself to be the most sadistic person in the Empire before meeting Esdeath, becoming her subordinate to learn under her.

He dislikes the current state of the Empire but embraces his role as an enforcer due to a debt owed to an unseen savior from when he was in the navy. Nevertheless, Wave tries befriending some of his fellow Jaegers, taking a liking to Bols and Kurome. His bond with Kurome as well his anger at atrocities caused by Wild Hunt cause him to act against them when Syura tries to violate Kurome.

He receives Akame's blessing as she and the others agree to make it appear the two died in battle with each other. Wave initially possesses the Teigu "Carnage Incarnate: Grand Chariot", a suit of armor modeled after Incursio that enhances his physical strength and grants flight. Takahiro describes him as something of a rival character to Tatsumi because their Teigus are similar. During Kurome's battle with Akame, Wave receives Run's Teigu "Thousands Miles Flight: Mastema", and is able to use it and Grand Chariot in perfect synch, becoming the first person capable of using two Teigu at once. However, this causes side effects that deteriorate his inner organs. Wave eventually comes to Tatsumi's aid against the Emperor, and together, they defeat him.Kurome

Seyru also received the Imperial Arm Hecatoncheir, nicknamed Coro, a biological Imperial Arm that appears as a small dog. Coro can increase his mass to become a ferocious monster with Berserk mode; he is able to regenerate as long as his core is intact. After Ogre's death, unaware that she crossed paths with his killer Tatsumi, Seryu confronts Mine and Sheele and kills the latter while losing her arms in the fight.. Sometime after, Seryu receives prosthetic arms that are compatible with the assortment of weapons called Judgment of the Ten Kings which Stylish developed. Nine of these weapons are stored in Coro's body while the tenth, a self-destruct bomb, is planted in her skull. She joins the Jaegers, though she was usually loose cannon due to her ideals. Seryu is eventually defeated by Mine when her body and Coro are cut in half by Pumpkin. This forces Seryu to trigger the self-destruct bomb in a final attempt on Mine's life.Dr. Stylish
Dr. Stylish is a man dressed in a lab coat and thick-rimmed glasses, who enjoys experimenting with humans, and is known for recruiting death row convicts as his guinea pigs. Wave describes his first impression of him as a nancy.

He can also create cyborg weapons that he gives to Seryu, as well as enhanced items that he outfits his subordinates with. Most of his subordinates are also biologically augmented, with names like Eyes, Ears, and Nose representing their respective modifications. He has some special attack methods: the first is delivering an odorless poison gas that weakens Night Raid, and the second is transforming himself into a large Danger Beast, consuming his subordinates for power. He is ultimately defeated by Night Raid's combined efforts.Run
Run is Esdeath's personal adviser and the Jaegers' butler. He is seen by Wave as the most "normal" member from the group due to his gentle personality. He is a former teacher of a peaceful village, whose students were murdered by Champ, who would later become a member of Wild Hunt. When the Empire decided to turn their backs on this incident to maintain the facade of a "peaceful village", Run was given a choice of joining either the Revolutionary Army or the Empire; he chose the latter in order to try to change the country from within. His Teigu, "Thousand Mile Flight: Mastema", is a pair of plates on his back that allow him to grow wings and attack using feathers as projectiles; its Trump Card is the ability to reflect any attack using the wings as barriers. Run eventually confronts Champ with Wave and Kurome, but suffers fatal wounds after more Wild Hunt members are involved. Kurome kills him with Yatsufusa, transforming Run into one of her corpse puppets so that he would never leave her. Before his death, Run managed to provide Esdeath with concrete evidence that Syura was the mastermind behind an ongoing humanoid Danger Beast crisis, enabling the disbandment of Wild Hunt. During Kurome's fight with Akame, Run transfers Mastema to Wave, allowing him to save both of them.Bols
Bols is one of the older members of the Jaegers; he typically wears a gas mask and leather straps styled as if he were involved in torture play. He came from the empire's incineration squad. Despite his cruel job and fearsome appearance, Bols has a gentle personality and is a family man. Because of this, Esdeath comes to him for romantic advice regarding Tatsumi. He also does housework such as cooking. His Teigu, "Invitation to Purgatory: Rubicante", is a flamethrower whose flames cannot be easily extinguished. After his Teigu is bitten off by Leone, he is forced to use his Teigu's self-destruct mechanism in order to escape, but is later assassinated by Chelsea in disguise. His wife and daughter are later raped and brutally murdered by Wild Hunt, under the guise of an "investigation".Bolic
Bolic is a high-ranking member of the Path of Peace, a religion that opposes the Empire. However, he is actually an agent working on behalf of the Prime Minister. Bolic is dispatched to kill the current high priest so that he will become the next leader and control it for the Empire's sake. Bolic uses his position and drugs to discreetly control the Path's members, turning them into his playthings. Esdeath, the Jaegers and the Four Rakshasa Demons were ordered to protect him, which resulted in intense battles when Night Raid came to kill him. These battle results in the deaths of Seryu and Susanoo. He is easily killed by Akame while Esdeath is occupied by Leone, Susanoo, Najenda and Tatsumi.Holimaca
Holimaca is Bolic's bodyguard who wields a lost Teigu that had been recovered. The Teigu is "The Mysterious: Adayusu", a scythe with unknown capabilities; even he himself does not fully know its capabilities. Akame was able to kill him so quickly that she never realized his weapon was a Teigu.Four Rakshasa Demons of the Imperial Fist Temple
Four Rakshasa Demons of the Imperial Fist Temple were four skilled soldiers in Honest's employ. All four were highly trained and able to manipulate their own bodies, with abilities such as extending their limbs, hardening their bodies, and contorting them out of harm's way, as well as possessing great combat abilities. They were strong enough to defeat Teigu users without using Teigu themselves, and have retrieved five of the artifacts for the Empire. The group consisted of Ibara, Sten, Mez, and Suzuka. The Four Rakshasa were sent to guard Bolic but after a battle with Night Raid, Suzuka was the only survivor.Suzuka
Suzuka is a masochistic woman whose training as one of the Four Rakshasas gave her vast durability and endurance along with bodily manipulation like extending her nails at high speed to pierce her foes. Her achievements speak to her combat skill, having retrieved five Imperial Arms from enemies in the past. After surviving her battle with Tatsumi during Night Raid's mission to assassinate Bolic, Suzuka provided the Empire information on his ties to Night Raid while assigned to Wild Hunt to replace Champ and Enshin. Soon after, Esdeath nearly disfigures her, which in turn incites Suzuka's lustful obsession with Esdeath. Suzuka was placed under Esdeath's command during the siege of the Capital. In the end, Suzuka survived and left the Capital with Esdeath's severed hand.Budo
Great General Budo was a Commander-in-chief of the Empire. He is regarded as stubborn and is known for speaking boldly to the Prime Minister. His faction is strong enough that Esdeath is hesitant to oppose it. He is loyal to the Empire as an ideal and desires to clean up the corruption within the Empire, but only after putting down the rebellion. This implies that he is antagonistic to both Night Raid and the Minister's corrupt ways. His Teigu is "Thunder God's Rage: Adramelech", a pair of piston-installed gauntlets, which allow him to generate electricity and lightning storms and to deliver devastating punches capable of breaching even Incursio's defense.When Budo battled Tatsumi after Incursio evolved, he notes Incursio's progress and realizes that his opponent may have done the impossible by fusing with his Teigu. Budo is killed by Mine during their rescue operation to save Tatsumi.
