Raimuiro Senkitan

A young girl who comes from a poor family, she leaves home to find work in a nearby city, and finally ends up joining the Raimu Unit instead. Momen calls Shintaro brother because of his similarities shared with her brother. She is very active and ready to do anything for Shintaro. Momen controls the red Raimu, "Yukimura" (wields a sword).

*Asa Katou:anime voices|Kaoru SasajimaA girl who grew up under her father as a military child and as such is a very commanding and tough person. She practices kendo and has shared a special bond with Lt. Commander Date, whom she loved as a brother. Asa controls the green Raimu, "Kiyomasa" (wields a staff).

*Sarasa Honda:anime voices|Tsubasa OtomiyaSarasa has a fascination with Western culture, which causes her to buy, wear, and use "western" products, but which are actually made mostly in Osaka. She acts overconfident, and often hides various things about herself which may make her appear weaker to other people, such as claiming people in the West make dolls instead of origami cranes as gifts because she can't make them herself. She also has a dog named Antionette Gandhi XIII, or Angie for short. Sarasa controls the blue Raimu, "Taiga" (wields a pole-arm/lance).

*Kinu Fukushima:anime voices|Sayaka AokiThe best friend with Asa but has a low self confidence which causes her to cry when Asa becomes forcefully verbal with her. She has special connections to the spiritual world which had enabled her to talk with spirits until Shintaro broke the bond. She also makes use of voodoo dolls quite frequently. Kinu controls the yellow/orange Raimu, "Masanori" (wields a gun).

*Rinzu Kuroda:anime voices|Yuka AimotoA very quiet girl, most likely from her tragic experiences early on in which her father kept her locked up like a bird in a cage after the rest of her family died. Shintaro helped Rinzu break free of her sorrow by revealing that her father had died trying to save her, instead of actually committing suicide. Rinzu controls the purple Raimu, "Nagamasa" (wields a bow, and is displayed as a centaur).
