| | Voice Actor | Character Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Taichi Kagohashi (籠橋 太一) | Shuhei Sakaguchi (阪口周平) | The protagonist. A loud, funny, and sharp-tongued Kansai native. His fast-paced, witty Kansai-ben and comebacks are central to the drama's humor. | | Dita (ディータ) | Hidenori Takahashi (高橋英則) | The masked serial killer. In stark contrast to his violent, low-voiced appearance, he develops an innocent, single-minded love for Taichi. This gap between his scary exterior and devoted actions is his main appeal. | | Reff (レフ) | Makoto Furukawa (古川慎) | A cannibalistic serial killer who is also a rival for Taichi's affection.
