The following article comprises a list of the characters appearing in the short story serialization Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas - Anecdotes, complementary to the manga Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas.
These characters appear only in the Anecdotes sidestories and not in the main serialization, ranging from common folk to criminal organizations and the like, although some are featured briefly in the main serialization. In addition, the vast majority of them were not created by Saint Seiya original author Masami Kurumada, except where otherwise noted, and therefore don't exist within the original Saint Seiya canonical universe. Most appear only in an specific chapter dedicated to a Gold Saint.
As most of the characters appear only in this derivative work and not in Masami Kurumada's original manga, and the events they participate in are set in a different continuity from that of Kurumada's Saint Seiya Next Dimension, which is the canonical narration of said events[1], they are not considered canonical within the Saint Seiya universe, rather, they are considered a separate alternate interpretation.
