Daichi (David)
Guardian / Team Sky (Team Air), Chore Boy
- Voice: KENN
The protagonist of the manga series. He portrayed himself as a very cool person though he's more to a loser. For a reason unknown to him, Daichi is being targeted by stray Blazers that are after his "power". He seems somewhat reckless but knows how to deal with difficult situations. He is a Blazer and so far most often uses an electric Mysticker given to him by his brother. He also possesses the Tamamayu Mysticker given to him by Shiroh that turns into an arm gauntlet. Tamamayu can also change into various forms, and mixed together with Daichi's electricity is very powerful. Daichi and Shiroh have become rivals after they first met and work together in some occasions. He uses a motorized, two-wheeled version of a skateboard, called a "ballboard", as his main transportation. It is later revealed that Daichi's 'power' is the ability to create unique mystickers. The Quilin are attempting to unlock his power so that they can use him to create mystickers with powers unmatched by any others.
Misora (Melissa)
Guardian / Team Sky, Leader
- Voice: Marina Inoue
A caring person who looks after the group. She's been kind of forcefully recruited into Kuroki's group in chapter 2 and seems to harbour romantic feelings toward Daichi. Initially, she was seen with no abilities, but is seen as someone with potential of becoming one by Melon. After training with Tenjik, Misora was finally able to awaken the power of a Blazer. She has a mysticker named "Tengoku", a mysticker that takes the form of a giant sentient book with an eye on it. It can eat and analyze Danji's bugs in their battle. When you open the book it shows pictures of something on one side and an empty panel on the other. To use Tengoku you have to steadily release your spiritual energy while drawing the same picture you see on the other side then sign your name and Tengoku will summon that creature. The closer you get to resembling the picture the more powerful the summoning will be, and vice versa. Misora was able to defeat Danji with Tengoku's help and then went to give Daichi Tamamayu but was to tired to help so she watched the battle between Daichi and Kaine.

He also seems to have a fear of dogs. He is good with Healing type stickers and is seen carrying around a huge sword which is also a mysticker called Necromancer. He uses an unnamed, one seat vehicle that looks like a modified modern sport/street motorcycle in which he doesn't use his hands to drive. He is seen to be able to use his sword necromancer to suck his opponent's evil spirit out of their bodies; Necromancer doesn't attack the body, it attacks the soul. He is also able to put a darkness mysticker on it to make it longer and it can split up into a bladed whip.

Ever since that day, Ginga has been resentful towards Daichi. Ginga is the original owner of the mysticker God Stand (Kandachi)but gives it to Daichi. He is referred as the "Genius" by Kuroki in terms of Blazers. It is revealed he really did care for his brother and protected him, including when a group of blazers wanted Daichi on their side.

She quickly went to battle with Yuyuka but Tenjik refused to fight her because she was a "sexy women". At first she had the upper hand against Yuyuka with her long nails and speed. But once Yuyuka activated a speed mysticker she was hurt which got her angry enough to activate her shape shifting mysticker which has three forms. Her first form she just grew a tail and ears, it increased her speed and nail strength and gives her cat attributes (this made her look even more sexier which made Tenjik even more opposed to fighting her). She then changed to her second form after overwhelming Yuyuka with speed and power (which made her even more sexy) in this state she grows black fur and around her body, her tail and ears turn black as well her nails also grow and become stronger. After a little fighting with Yuyuka and after her nails where broken by Yuyuka she changed into her final form. In this form she is a giant cat with very destructive powers. At this point she doesn't at all resemble a woman so this gives Tenjik the will to fight, he quickly defeats her with his explosive mysticker.
