The anime also unveiled visuals for all of the main characters.

Kōdai Sakai as Michio Sumiyoshi, a second-year rugby member at Kanagawa High School. His position is scrum-half. He continues playing rugby because it's fun for one reason or another. He lacks seriousness, but because he's a skillful player, he's the type that can do anything. Daiki Kobayashi as Yoshiki Hirano, a first-year rugby member of Kanagawa High School.

He thought his classmate Kitamichi was having a lot of fun, so he decided to join the rugby team. Daiki Hamano as Hirokuni Kasuga, a third-year rugby member of Kanagawa High School. His position is flanker. He has a tough personality and is fundamentally taciturn. Despite his scary face, he can be unexpectedly helpful, like an older brother.

Daichi Kanbara as Yūsaku Suwa, a second-year student who plays the wing position. He looks like an adult at first glance, but he has a scathing tongue.

The supporting cast also includes: Takuma Nagatsuka as Isao Kifune, a second-year who plays fullback. He is a hard worker viewed as a stable player.

He is a forgetful person who tends to worry. He is in the same class with Sekizan and sits in the back, so he often gets picked on. Tomohito Takatsuka as Taichi Ōhie, a third-year who plays prop. He is calm and easy-going, but his intellect allows him to handle his juniors without causing discord. He is actually very bright. Shun'ichi Maki as Eiichi Hirota, a third-year who plays prop. His massive size makes him the giant of the team, and he is always eating something. He looks soft, but his personality can be harsh. Fukushi Ochiai as Takeo Atsuta, a second-year who plays prop.

He is good friends with Gion, a fellow short person. Hiromichi Tezuka as Kōichirō Kashima, a third-year who plays lock. He has been picked on by Kamō for six years, and he won't try to stop it.
