Karakter & Staf — LIAR GAME

Nao Kanzaki

Utama

Female · Umur 18

Nao is a stupidly honest girl who sees herself trapped in the Liar Game after finding 100 million yen in a box along with a card. Now, she has to take care of the money for 30 days and try to steal another 100 million from his rival. Nao's father is in the hospital and none of her friends believe her so she contacts Akiyama Shinichi to help her.

Saya Hitomi

Shinichi Akiyama

Utama

Male

Formerly a graduate student majoring in psychology, he is a "genius swindler" who took down a giant MLM scam named Shuuei to avenge his mother. He helps Nao when he sees the honest nature she had, just like his mother. Although he is not invited into the Liar Game, he enters by substituting for another player in Round II. By Round III he is respected (and feared) enough by the LGT players to become unofficial leader of the Southern Country, though he tries to keep things equal in the group. Yokoya, however, knows Akiyama had been manipulating his team mates and mocks him for it.

Takeo Ootsuka

Yuuji Fukunaga

Utama

A trans woman who first appears in Round II, where she poses as a woman named Hitomi (Hitomi is her friend for whom she substitutes as player No. 3). Sly and calculating and also a 5th degree black belt, Fukunaga is a skilled manipulator whose greatest weakness appears to be her desire for money and her bad temper. She greatly hinders Nao and Akiyama during Round II and the Revival Round, but has never been able to outwit Akiyama. However, Fukunaga cooperates with them well during Round III and even when she finishes the round debt-free, she chooses to continue in the tournament. To avoid revealing her skills during the mock stimulation, she sends Nao in her place, matching Solario's expectations. Though Fukunaga seems fond of Nao in her own way, she doesn't think of her as competent.

One of the hosts of the Liar Game. He wears a suit, has dark hair, and an ornate mask covers his face.

His mask has a long moustache.

A lawyer that Nao first consulted when she she gets involved in the LGT. He gives her the idea of using a scam artist to win the game, and is the one to direct Nao to look up Akiyama. It isn't revealed until later that he is actually part of the LGT working to make sure players don't unexpectedly give the money from Round I to the police. After Round II, he shows up at Nao's home to tell her about Akiyama's past, and to manipulate her to return to the LGT in Revival Round. He is later seen monitoring Revival Round I with Leronira, and shows up at Nao's home again to inform her of Revival Round II.

Openly hostile to the LGT, he once accused them of being a scam, and later tells Nao the LGT is probably involved in human trafficking. He was one of the final contestants who was present when Fukunaga revealed his betrayal. Because he was tricked by Fukunaga, he is forced to participate in the Revival Round. When Fukunaga turns the other Revival Round participants against Nao, Miura is the only one who is nice to her. As a result, Nao chooses to save him and forces him to lose the Revival Round (although she gives him 200 million to cover his debt to the LGT).
