Panty (パンティ, Panti)
Voiced by: Arisa Ogasawara (Japanese); Jamie Marchi (first series),[5] Courtney Lin (second series)[6] (English)
The older Anarchy sister, Panty is a blonde-haired angel whose only interests are looking for men to have sex with and basking in the popularity of being an Anarchy sister. She does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as Stocking, preferring to fulfill her personal goal of having sex with 1,000 men on Earth before returning to Heaven. Her underwear transforms into a pistol called Backlace (バックレース, Bakkurēsu). She occasionally wields a second Backlace using Stocking's underwear, doubling her firepower and allowing her to combine them into more advanced firearms such as a submachine gun or sniper rifle. She can weaponize male underwear, though the weapon's size and usefulness depends on the size of the original wearer's penis.

Stocking (ストッキング, Sutokkingu)
Voiced by: Mariya Ise (Japanese); Monica Rial (first series),[5] Cristina Vee (second series)[6] (English)
The younger Anarchy sister, Stocking is a pink-and-violet-haired goth angel with a gluttonous appetite for sugary foods. While she does not have the same level of interest in sex as her older sister, Panty, she does show sexual urges and interests and is generally more interested in masochistic activities, such as bondage and electrocution. Her stockings transform into a pair of katana called Stripe I (ストライプI, Sutoraipu Wan) and Stripe II (ストライプII, Sutoraipu Tsū). She owns a stuffed cat doll called Honekoneko (ホネコネコ; lit. "Bone Kitten"), which changes its facial expressions in accordance with Stocking's mood.
Garterbelt (ガーターベルト, Gātāberuto)
Voiced by: Kōji Ishii (Japanese); Christopher Sabat (first series),[5] Daniel Walton (second series)[6] (English)
The reverend of Daten City, and the Anarchy sisters' guardian. Garterbelt is a large black man with a massive afro. He relays missions from Heaven to Panty and Stocking, practices bondage, and displays interest in young males, particularly Brief, disguising himself as a masked figure called "Master G" while undertaking such hobbies. He is cursed with immortality and forbidden from dying until he fulfills his given task.

Chuck (チャック, Chakku)
Voiced by: Takashi Nakamura (Japanese); Ian Sinclair (first series)[5] (English)
Panty and Stocking's sidekick, a green dog-like creature with zippers on his body who closely resembles the character GIR in his own dog disguise from the American animated series Invader Zim.[7] Chuck is often subject to mortal injuries. He can only be immobilized by opening the zippers on his head and releasing his brain, a 2-inch tall incubus who is romantically involved with Fastener's brain. He is used by Heaven as a mailbox of sorts, getting struck by lightning and spitting out a piece of paper containing a clue to a Ghost's whereabouts. He transforms into a Bull Ghost by turning himself inside-out.
Brief (ブリーフ, Burīfu)
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino (Japanese); Joel McDonald (first series),[5] Kieran Walton (second series) (English)
A self-proclaimed ghost hunter with an interest in science fiction and the supernatural, for which he is nicknamed "Geek Boy" by Panty and Stocking. Brief is enamored with Panty and tries acting as the voice of reason for the Anarchy sisters, but instead becomes the butt of many jokes in the series. His true identity is Briefers Rock (ブリーファス・ロック, Burīfasu Rokku), the handsome son of head of the Rock Foundation, a large corporation in Daten City. In the second season finale, he marries Panty and they have a child together called Junior.

Ghosts (ゴースト, Gōsuto)
The monsters of the week in the series, Ghosts are twisted aberrations born from the regrets or suffering of people who have died and become lost in limbo. Panty and Stocking are tasked with their destruction, which allows them to pass on to Heaven, leaving behind Heaven Coins. Although most Ghosts are savage or destructive, some are relatively harmless annoyances or even oppose their true nature and try to live peacefully. Ghosts are usually slain with angelic weapons, but there are other means of destroying them, such as Ghosts killing each other or peacefully accomplishing what they wanted to achieve in life. As a recurring joke, whenever Panty and Stocking defeat a Ghost with their angelic weapons, a styrofoam model of the Ghost is filmed being blown-up.
