John Brown is a nineteen year old (now 20) Caucasian catholic priest from Australia who learned to speak Japanese with a Kansai accent, thus giving his sentences a rather odd, humorous structure. Good-natured and helpful, he helps Mai and Naru however he can.John is the "cutest" male of the group, with the shortest height (of the guys) and an innocent demeanour. He is a Caucasian male of implied Australian birth, and speaks with a Kansai accent, having learned Japanese as his second language. He appears to be one of the most trusting members of the group, and also shows a great deal of empathy towards those affected by spirits. He also seems to be the most humble and is willing to work with Naru the day he meets him, despite not knowing him. Unlike many of the group, he does not appear quick to extreme reactions, making him one of the more easy-going members of the group. Because of this, he is often seen attempting to calm others down and break up disputes (though his attempts are oftentimes too soft to be effective).

Masako Hara (原 真砂子 Hara Masako) is a TV medium with a gift for seeing and channeling spirits, although it is questionable whether her powers come from possession or psychometry.Masako is a petite Japanese girl with neck-length black hair that is styled in a bob haircut with blunt square bangs and dark grey eyes. She is the shortest person in the group, standing at 5' 4". She is usually seen wearing a type of kimono called a kimon with patterns varying throughout the series, During the colder seasons, she wears an overcoat on top of it.Masako is a very calm, composed individual who does not often show her feelings. This composure is shown in Volume 2 to be partly because of shyness

Ayako Matsuzaki (松崎 綾子 Matsuzaki Ayako) is a Shinto priestess (in Japanese, miko) who performs exorcisms for SPR. However, her exorcisms often fail as her powers are reliant on a special connection to "live" trees.In the beginning, Ayako was shown to be a very "hot-blooded" person who is often teased by the group, and always responds with insults of her own (or, in Monk's case, physical retaliation). When Ayako arrives at the location of a haunting, she has a tendency to identify the cause of a case to be an earthbound spirit. While her confidence borders on haughtiness, her pride constantly gets shot down due to unsuccessful rituals and incorrect assumptions.

Houshou Takigawa (often called simply Monk, or Bou-san in Japanese) is a powerful Buddhist exorcist working for SPR. Before the series began, he was a monk at Mt. Koya. It is later revealed, however, that he only became a monk because his family owned the temple. His real job is as a studio musician; he plays bass.Monk is a very genial person who gets along well with most people, although he often provokes and bickers with Ayako. He is also very good with kids, monk is always seen in casual clothes and has long blond hair

Lin Koujo, originally from Hong Kong, is Kazuya Shibuya (Naru)'s assistant and guardian. He is considered taciturn and solemn, but he can rarely be friendly. He usually gets the most unpleasant jobs, working from day through night. It is said he dislikes the Japanese because of the past conflicts Japan has had with China.Lin has long black fringes that covers his blue right eye and he has a grey left eye. He is tall and is usually seen in suits and formal clothes.

He is known to be cold, solemn and reserved, but is seen by Mai that he is unusually friendly when conversing with Madoka Mori. Later, he reveals that he dislikes the Japanese people because of the past conflicts Japan has had with China.

Mai Taniyama is the main protagonist of Ghost Hunt and is the assistant to Kazuya Shibuya whom she nicknames 'Naru' (short for narcissist). At the end of Volume 1, she was hired to work part-time at Shibuya Psychic Research.

Mai is a petite young woman with short brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and thick lashes. She often dresses comfortably, preferring to leave her hair down most of the time. In later volumes, it's hinted that she has trouble clothes shopping due to high-prices. Through the course of the manga, her hair grows from a pixie cut to a short bob. In the anime, Mai's hair is a short bob. Mai often believes the best in people; when Naoko Kuroda and Chiaki Kasai are suspected, she sticks up for both of them, despite knowing neither very well. She is also very compassionate,

Kazuya Shibuya (Naru) is the owner of SPR (Shibuya Psychic Research). He is known to be moody, a narcissist, and very confident in what he does. He hires Mai Taniyama as his assistant after the events that occurred at the old schoolhouse next to her school. His reason behind hiring her (which he reveals to Mai in Vol. 12) is "empathy." The principal of Mai's school had told Naru that Mai was an orphan and has been in her situation at one point Naru decided to give her a job.

Very little about him is ever discussed or revealed until later in the manga, which reveals Naru's true identity is that of British researcher Oliver Davis, of the original SPR. Naru, in general, has a cold, narcissistic, analytical personality. He has little tolerance for weakness--his own or other people. However, he does show genuine respect for people's talents. He is shown as being very competitive,

The series follows the ghost hunting adventures of Mai Taniyama, a high school graduate who becomes involved with Shibuya Psychic Research (SPR) and its young manager, Kazuya Shibuya. Mai nicknames Kazuya Shibuya "Naru" because of his narcissistic (narushishisuto) attitude, and the nickname is generally adopted by all those who come to eventually work with SPR: Buddhist monk Houshou Takigawa; shrine maiden Ayako Matsuzaki; celebrity teen psychic Masako Hara; and Catholic priest John Brown.

The series explores the paranormal abilities of the characters, particularly focusing on Mai's "latent psychic abilities", demonstrated by her dreaming about information relevant to their cases. She is often joined in her dreams by someone whom she assumes to be Naru, who acts as a spirit guide, but who is later revealed to be Naru's dead twin brother who had died long before.
