Karakter & Staf — City Hunter: .357 Magnum

Ryou Saeba

Utama

Male

Ryou is a combat expert, having fought as a guerrilla in numerous conflicts alluded to throughout the series, and has a long history of working in the underground. He carries a Colt Python. His mysterious past starts with him being the only survivor of a plane crash in Central America as a toddler. The crash left him an orphan in a rebel village during a civil war, prompting him to learn to fight at a young age. As a result, he has very little information on his true parentage, or even his birthdate. (Later, Kaori Makimura unilaterally declared March 26 his birthday, as that was they day they first met). After the war he ended up in the United States, where he worked as a hired gun, but eventually he found his way to Tokyo, Japan. There he formed the "City Hunter" team with Hideyuki Makimura (Kaori's brother), and it's sometime after that where the manga/TV series' timeline begins.

Akira Kamiya

Kaori Makimura

Utama

Female

The other half of City Hunter, and Ryo Saeba's partner. She is primarily responsible for getting clients, and other managerial tasks. She also cooks and defends Ryo's female clients from his less honorable intentions. Though Kaori's combat skills don't even come close to her partner's, she can stop Ryo cold with one of her hammerspace weapons. Primarily she uses a hammer (usually weighing at least 100 tons), but she uses other objects as well. She also learned how to set traps and plant explosives from Umibozu. Her shooting skills are affected somewhat by Ryo's tampering wiith her gun, meant to ensure that she would always miss and therefore not be able to bloody her hands as Ryo has had to do.

Kazue Ikura

Hayato Ijuuin

Pendukung

Umibouzu (means "sea bonze", which is a ghost in Japanese mythology; real name: Hayato Ijuin), is a "sweeper" in the underground just like Ryou Saeba. With his giant body and his superb combat skills, he doesn't really need a partner. He is Saeba's equal in most things, and the two have somewhat of a rivalry going. Umibouzu fought against Ryou back in Central America and had his eyes damaged by Saeba. This should make them enemies, but both men shrug off the past since what happened in the war was not personal. That doesn't mean that they don't fight, though. They often find each other on the same case, but on different sides, and have dueled more than once.

Tesshou Genda

Saeko Nogami

Pendukung

Female

She is a pretty detective with the Tokyo police, who often uses the City Hunter team to do her job for her. She keeps promising to pay back Ryou with "mokkori" (sex), but always manages to get out of it. Despite her deceptive tendencies, she and Ryo have a considerable history together and were in a love triangle with Ryo and Hideyuki Makimura. Saeko's father is the chief of police, so she has some leeway in how she does her job. But off the job, her father puts pressure on her to get married. In the spin-off Angel Heart, Saeko was the chief of police who used to date Hideyuki Makimura and was implied to be waiting for Hideyuki's proposal. In later chapters, Saeko's hidden dream was to have a normal family with Ryo, implying her shift in romantic interest.
