Nozomi Komabami

Nozomi Komabami, approximately 15-16 years old, birthday November 29th, belongs to the Komabami clan—one of the branches of the Hundred Devouring Families. She arrived at Hyakkaou Academy in the electoral race to unseat Kirari Momobami. Unlike the other branches, her family doesn't have a defined traditional specialty, but she stands out for dealing with cryptocurrencies and modern finance.

She wears the standard uniform: red blazer, white shirt, plaid tie, checkered skirt, and black tights—underneath the skirt, she always wears tight navy blue shorts. She carries a Saint Bernard dog, her faithful companion.

Personality: At first glance, she seems friendly and naive, but she is shrewd, astute, and somewhat mischievous. She highly values ​​honesty—her motto is: "I'm not here to win, I'm here to expose your lies." She loves animals and is very attached to her dog. In games, she focuses on uncovering cheating and manipulation, rather than betting purely for the thrill.

Story: He arrives at school with his dog and gets involved in bets to uncover other people's lies. During the tournament, he faces opponents and uses his keen eyesight to detect fraud, but ends up not reaching the final round. At the end of the election, he decides to support candidates he considers sincere and resumes his business with digital assets, always by his dog's side.

Sumika Warakubami, approximately 18 years old, birthday on October 25th, belongs to the Warakubami clan—one of the branches of the Hundred Devouring Families, specializing in the entertainment industry. She arrived at Hyakkaou Academy to participate in the student election and attempt to unseat Kirari Momobami. She hides a secret identity: she is the famous Hollywood actress Kawaru Natari, Yumemi Yumemite's idol.

Appearance: She has two very distinct versions. As a student, she covers her face: she wears a surgical mask, has long bangs that cover her forehead and part of her eyes, long, loose black hair, very fair skin, and purple eyes. In her true form, she reveals reddish-brown hair with curly strands that reach her chest, a beauty mark below her right eye, and striking red lipstick.

Personality: Under her disguise, she is quiet, reserved, observant, and rarely speaks. As Kawaru Natari, she appears confident, perceptive, and extremely critical—but she also recognizes effort and courage. She values ​​sincerity and hates falsehood; she is fair and dislikes cheating.

Story: From a young age, she was trained for acting, moved to the United States at age 12, and starred in global hits. At the academy, she faces Yumemi in an arts competition. Although she initially judges her for being an idol, she is impressed when Yumemi breaks her own finger to uphold a bet and fulfill the agreement. In the end, she decides to pass her vows on to Erimi Mushibami and returns to her artistic career.

Yumi Totobami

Yumi Totobami, whose birthday is July 31st, is approximately 17 years old. She was adopted as a child by the Totobami clan and is Terano's adoptive sister. She lacks a talent for gambling and is not part of the original bloodline of the families. She came to Hyakkaou Academy solely to support Terano in her mission to dethrone Kirari.

Appearance: light brown skin, green eyes, and long, light blonde hair tied in two high braids with a parted fringe. She wears the standard female uniform, but with details: a plaid tie, platform shoes, and always carries a light jacket tied around her waist.

Personality: Cheerful, easygoing, and extremely dedicated. She has no interest in gambling—her only priority is caring for and supporting Terano, moving her wheelchair and assisting her in everything she needs. She is straightforward, affectionate, and treats her sister as her greatest role model, demonstrating unwavering loyalty.

Story: She was taken in by the family when she had no one else, and because of that, she is completely devoted to Terano. During the election campaign, she stays in the background: she watches the games, takes care of her sister, and celebrates her victories—but she never gets involved. When the plan comes to an end, she remains by Terano's side, maintaining the bond they built.

Nanami Tsubomi

Nanami Tsubomi is a second-year student at Hyakkaou Academy, 16 years old, with a birthday on March 31st, and 1.49m tall—one of the shortest in history. Her family is not wealthy; soon after entering, she couldn't pay the mandatory tuition and became a "pet," accumulating a debt of 20 million yen.

Appearance: fair skin, green eyes. She used to have very long brown hair—her greatest pride—but it was forcibly cut by Jun Kiwatari. Now it's chin-length, with bangs pinned back on the left side with a pink polka-dot clip. She wears the standard female uniform: red blazer, white shirt, black tie, long gray skirt, calf-length socks, and brown ballet flats.

Personality: Initially extremely shy, quiet, anxious, and submissive. Jun's fear made her obey everything, even cheat—she lost confidence and thought there was no way out. With Yumeko's words, she regains her courage: she stops letting herself be dominated, acts for herself, and finds the strength to turn the tables.

Story: She was forced to help Jun in the game against Yumeko and Mary in Indian Poker. But upon realizing she didn't have to accept that humiliation, she exposes his cheating and changes the course of the game. With the victory, she escapes being treated like a pet, pays off part of her debt, and finally regains her freedom and dignity.

Jun Kiwatari

Jun Kiwatari is a second-year student at Hyakkaou Academy, approximately 17 years old and 1.84 meters tall. The son of the provincial governor, he used his status to act arrogantly—until he lost everything.

Appearance: Initially, he has a strong and muscular build, tanned skin, short brown hair, and eyes of the same color. He wears the male uniform: an open red blazer, a white shirt with open buttons, gray pants, and brown shoes. After becoming a "pet," he loses a lot of weight and takes on a gaunt appearance.

Personality: Initially aggressive, cruel, and self-assured—he intimidated indebted colleagues, especially Nanami Tsubomi, whom he humiliated and even cut her hair. He couldn't imagine losing and resorted to violence when thwarted. After his defeat, he loses his arrogance: he becomes fearful, quiet, and obedient, no longer possessing the strength or will to dominate.

Story: At the Debt Settlement Ceremony, he manipulated Nanami into cheating against Yumeko and Mary. But she ended up rebelling thanks to Yumeko's words; Jun lost humiliatingly, incurred a debt of 310 million yen, and began living at the bottom of the hierarchy, like a "pet."

King Batsubami

Rei Batsubami is a character exclusive to the second season of the anime Kakegurui XX—she does not appear in the manga. Born on February 28th, she is approximately 17 years old, has an androgynous build, and belonged to an expelled branch of the "Hundred Devouring Families," which lost its surname and was demoted.

Appearance: short, light brown hair with long bangs covering the right side of her face; dark brown eyes, previously with a blank expression. She wears glasses, a male academy uniform, and white butler gloves—the only one in her family to wear glasses. Upon revealing herself: she removes her glasses, adjusts her hair, opens her blazer, and removes her gloves, exposing tattoos on both hands: clan symbols crossed out with an "X," a mark of her dishonored lineage. Upon being reinstated, she adopts a feminine look: styled hair, pink lipstick, a female uniform, and a dragonfly brooch, a gift from Yumeko's older sister.

Personality: Initially reserved, polite, and submissive, acting as a servant to the clan representatives. Deep down, she harbors a strong feeling of revenge, but she is also grateful, loyal, and sensitive—she is moved by kindness, as she never received it herself. Intelligent and calculating, she planned the auction of 100 votes to recover her family's prestige. Her past suffering changed when Yumeko's sister treated her as an equal; after losing to Yumeko, she abandons her resentment, regains her place in the clan, and even adopts the surname Jabami as a symbol of a new beginning.

Yumemi Yumemite

Yumemi Yumemite is a second-year student, responsible for the Public Relations Office of the Student Council, and a popular idol inside and outside of Hyakkaou Academy. She is 1.61m tall, 16 years old, and her birthday is December 3rd.

Her hair is long, a coral-pink color, tied in two high ponytails; her eyes are dark blue with star-shaped pupils. She always wears a purple flower on her uniform collar; she also wears pink nail polish and lipstick.

She presents a dual personality: in front of the public and colleagues, she is sweet, cheerful, and charismatic—the perfect image of an idol. Behind that facade, she is calculating, proud, and ambitious, seeing her artistic career only as a stepping stone to Hollywood stardom. Initially, she considers fans merely a source of income, but she matures throughout the story.

Highly skilled in acting and disguises, she uses this to manipulate gambling games in her favor. Her great goal is to become a world-famous actress, inspired by her idol, Kawaru Natari. When she faces Yumeko in a competition that mixes gambling and performance, her true nature is exposed—and, over time, she begins to value her work and the people around her more.

Midari Ikishima

Midari Ikishima is a second-year student, a member of the Student Council, and president of the Beautification Committee—she is also the protagonist of the spin-off Kakegurui Midari. She is 1.70m tall, 17 years old, has a birthday on September 25th, and is not part of the "One Hundred Devouring Families".

Very pale skin, short, messy black hair, uneven bangs covering part of her forehead. She wears an eyepatch on her left eye: she lost it in a bet against Kirari Momobami as payment for a debt. Several piercings in her ears, arms frequently bandaged; her eyes are purple in the manga and yellowish-green in the anime. She modifies her uniform: she leaves her shirt open, wears different accessories.

Her personality is intense, chaotic, and obsessive. She seeks extreme thrills at any cost, finding pleasure in risk, pain, and danger—she has a strong self-destructive side and even desires to find a thrilling death in a gamble. She detests predictable games or those without real risk. She is fascinated by Yumeko, seeing in her the same thirst for excitement, and does everything to get her attention, proposing bets with lethal risks. Despite being unpredictable and frightening, she follows the council's rules with a distorted loyalty and admires Kirari.

Mary Saotome

Mary Saotome is the deuteragonist, a second-year student and scholarship recipient at Hyakkaou Academy—also the protagonist of the spin-off Kakegurui Twin. Born on March 8th, she is 1.62m tall, 16 or 17 years old, and comes from a family with modest financial means, unlike most of her classmates.

She has long blonde hair, tied in two ponytails with black ribbons, a choppy fringe, and strands that fall over her bust; yellow/golden eyes, she usually wears light makeup and light pink nail polish. She wears the standard uniform: red blazer, white shirt, black tie, plaid/gray skirt, black stockings, and brown shoes.

Initially, she is proud, domineering, and even cruel—treating Ryota with disdain after he became her "pet," as she firmly believed in the school's hierarchical rules. After losing to Yumeko and becoming a "pet" herself, she experiences humiliation; after regaining her place, she matures significantly: she maintains her determination and intelligence but abandons her arrogance, becoming loyal and a partner to Yumeko and Ryota.

He is rational, calculating, and plans every move—unlike Yumeko, he aims for sure victories and hates taking unnecessary risks. His goal becomes fighting against the oppressive school system and the Student Council, proving that value doesn't come from wealth or family.

Ryota Suzui

Ryota Suzui is a co-protagonist, a second-year student, and class representative at Hyakkaou Academy. He is 1.73m tall, 16 or 17 years old, and his birthday is July 11th—one of the few who do not belong to the "One Hundred Devouring Families".

He has brown hair, slightly messy and at neck length, and eyes of the same color. He always wears the male uniform: a red blazer with black and gold details, a white shirt, a black tie, dark trousers, and brown shoes.

Initially shy, insecure, and very cautious—he hates taking risks. He lost a bet to Mary Saotome, incurred a debt of 5 million yen, and became a "pet," nicknamed "Pochi." When Yumeko arrives, she discovers that he helped Mary with her cheating schemes; even so, she pays his debt and begins to treat him as an equal.

From then on, he becomes her best friend and loyal companion. Even though he dislikes gambling, he participates to stay by her side, constantly worried about Yumeko's recklessness. He is observant, sensible, and honest—he gradually gains her trust, but remains calm and kind-hearted, without losing his humility.

Yumeko Jabami

Yumeko Jabami is the protagonist of the story, a second-year transfer student to Hyakkaou Academy. She is 1.66m tall, 16 or 17 years old, and is the representative of the Jabami branch among the "One Hundred Devouring Families". Her parents have already passed away; her only family is her older sister, Souko, who lives in a psychiatric hospital—and all the treatment costs are covered by Yumeko.

Of striking beauty: long, straight, completely black hair, with a straight fringe that covers her eyebrows. Brown eyes that take on a reddish hue when she is intensely involved in gambling. She wears the standard female uniform: red blazer, white shirt, black tie, dark plaid skirt, black stockings, and brown shoes; she also wears a silver ring on her left hand.

She appears sweet, polite, and naive—but she is, in fact, an unparalleled gambling addict. She doesn't care so much about winning or money; what drives her is the thrill of risk, the pure uncertainty of a fair game. She detests rigged games or those with guaranteed outcomes. She possesses sharp intelligence, an almost photographic memory, and meticulous observation skills, capable of detecting cheating in just a few rounds.

Upon arriving, he befriends Ryota Suzui and soon confronts Mary Saotome. He challenges members of the Student Council, seeking to reach Kirari Momobami. He was once treated as a "pet" due to a debt of 310 million yen, but he paid it all off. Despite his fearless appearance, his goal is also to investigate what led his sister to her current state of health.

Miri Yobami is a member of the Yobami Family, one of the "Hundred Devouring Families," specializing in pharmacy, medicine, and poisons—the same field as her biological sister Miyo Inbami's family. The two were separated as children, each chosen as the heir to a different branch of the clan; to circumvent the prohibition of contact, they developed their own language of gestures and glances, capable of entire conversations in silence.

She is short in stature, with dark blue hair tied in two round buns, and eyes of the same shade that always seem empty or distant; she wears red eyeshadow in the corners of her eyes, just like Miyo. She wears the standard Hyakkaou Academy uniform.

Her demeanor is always serious, reserved, and extremely laconic—she speaks little and uses short, direct sentences. She seems to have no compassion for anyone outside her sister, not hesitating to put lives at risk during bets using poisons and threats of antidotes. She almost always obeys Miyo's decisions, but her loyalty is unconditional: she is capable of sacrificing herself or intentionally losing to ensure her safety.

She arrived at the school vying for the presidency of the student council, allied with Miyo. They played against Mary Saotome, Ryota Suzui, and Yumeko Jabami, using silent communication to control the matches and dangerous rules involving poisoned needles. When their plans fell apart, Miri even harmed herself to protect her sister; after their defeat, they came to recognize Mary's and the others' determination, remaining united.

Miyo Inbami belongs to the powerful Inbami Family, one of the "Hundred Devouring Families," which has specialized for generations in the pharmaceutical field—including expertise in poisons and antidotes. She is the biological sister of Miri Yobami; however, the two were separated in childhood, and Miyo was adopted by the Inbami branch because the clan feared the strength of the bond between them. She was born on October 30th.

She has extremely long, black hair—or dark blue in the anime—usually tied up in a bun, with a single strand falling over her face and reaching her waist. Her eyes are bluish and always seem vacant or empty; she wears striking makeup: red eyeshadow in the corners of her eyes, lip gloss of the same color, and red painted nails. She wears the standard female uniform of Hyakkaou Academy, paired with brown low-heeled shoes.

She appears polite, calm, and sophisticated—but it's a cold and calculating facade. She considers gambling silly and superficial; for her, victory justifies any means, including using poisons to weaken opponents, blackmailing them with the antidote in exchange for surrender. She doesn't hesitate to put lives at risk, even though she has a unique bond with Miri: they developed their own sign language to communicate silently, a result of years apart. Even so, in extreme situations, she doesn't hesitate to sacrifice her sister to achieve her goals.

She arrived at the school during the presidential election, quickly winning votes—including those of Yuriko Nishinotouin—using her lethal methods. She even went so far as to poison Yumeko Jabami before a match even began. After being defeated by Mary Saotome, she ends up recognizing her opponent's strength and determination, demonstrating a rare ability to respect those who exceed her expectations.

Kaede Manyuda

Kaede Manyuda is a second-year student, 1.80m tall, born on April 7th. He was the only man on the Student Council, serving as treasurer—responsible for controlling all the institution's finances and resources.

Imposing and impeccable in appearance: fair skin, neatly combed black hair, dark eyes, and always wearing black-framed glasses. He wears the male uniform: a red blazer with black details, a white shirt, a black tie, and dark plaid pants. After his traumatic defeat against Yumeko, his hair turns completely white, a mark of the shock he suffered.

Extremely rational, calculating, and ambitious, he plans every move with coldness and precision, believing that reason should dominate everything—he even dreamed of succeeding Kirari as president. Behind the arrogance, however, hides a deep insecurity: the constant fear of being seen as useless and discarded, which is why he seeks to prove his worth at all costs. He recognizes Itsuki Sumeragi's persistence and sees in her a reflection of himself.

Upon losing his position and being reduced to the status of a "pet," he falls into deep discouragement, losing meaning in everything he does. Gradually, however, he regains his determination and begins to trust more in himself and in true relationships, changing his view of power and personal worth.

Yuriko Nishinotouin

Yuriko Nishinotouin is a third-year student, a member of the Student Council, and president of the Traditional Culture Research Club. She is descended from a noble lineage dating back to the Heian period. She is approximately 1.63 meters tall, with long brown hair that falls to her chest and a parted fringe; her eyes almost always appear closed, reinforcing a serene expression. She rarely removes her flower-patterned kimono and hakama pants, symbols of her appreciation for tradition.

He always carries himself with elegance, politeness, and composure—but behind this facade hides a calculating and manipulative nature. He creates games inspired by Japanese customs, such as the famous "Life or Death," adjusting the rules to gain an advantage: he often excites his opponents only to later crush their hopes, as Yumeko noted. He detests rudeness and demands the use of formal address. When things don't go as planned, however, he quickly loses his temper and becomes easily irritated.

Her main motivation is not power itself, but protecting the club and its members—losing her position would mean leaving them vulnerable to debt and relegated to the status of mere pets. She deeply values ​​ancestral culture and is shocked by any disrespect towards traditional objects or rituals. She is skilled at disguising subtle cheating, but faces difficulties when confronted with unforeseen events or opponents who play on instinct and emotion.

Itsuki Sumeragi

Itsuki Sumeragi is a first-year student and former member of the Student Council, the daughter of the president of a large toy company—she used part of the family fortune to secure her seat on the group. She has short blonde hair and brown eyes, is always well-groomed, with her nails painted with elaborate designs. She wears the standard uniform, but with black socks patterned with silver stars.

A card game expert, she often uses her family's products to create cheating schemes, such as cards marked with thermal sensitivity, guaranteeing easy wins. She has a macabre habit: she rips off and collects the painted fingernails of her victims as trophies of her conquests. She appears friendly, but is calculating and domineering—however, her composure crumbles when faced with real risks, revealing herself to be cowardly and insecure. She fears losing status and being disinherited by her father, as she feels her worth depends on the position she holds.

After losing to Yumeko and being removed from the Student Council, she tries to get close to her with ulterior motives, but gradually changes her behavior: she begins to understand that true success requires taking honest risks and creates genuine friendships. Later, she demonstrates more courage and abandons some of her vanity, learning to trust herself and people like Kaede Manyuda.

Yomozuki Rune

Runa Yomozuki is a member of the Student Council and president of the Election Committee at Hyakkaou Academy. Despite her extremely youthful appearance—she's only 1.30m tall, which often leads to her being underestimated—she's a third-year student. She has dark, straight hair, violet eyes, and almost always wears a hooded jacket with rabbit ears over her school uniform, always with a lollipop in her mouth or a video game console in her hands.

She appears carefree, fun-loving, and immature: she spends meetings playing games or eating sweets, speaking in a light and relaxed manner. But this is just a facade. In reality, she is extremely shrewd, calculating, and sadistic: she enjoys observing the anguish of others, judging people as if they were merely objects or entertainment. As the official referee, she controls rules and outcomes with complete mastery, maintaining a neutrality that serves only to ensure that the games are as exciting and destructive as possible.

She has no blind loyalty to anyone—not even Kirari. What truly attracts her is the fun and intensity of the risk; when something becomes predictable, she quickly loses interest. Her worldview is cynical: she sees hierarchy and games as a natural way to expose human frailty, and she enjoys watching how people become deformed under pressure. Even though she seems fragile or childish, she is one of the most difficult figures to predict, capable of manipulating entire situations without raising suspicion, always with a sweet smile on her face.

Sayaka Igarashi is the secretary of the Student Council and right-hand woman of Kirari Momobami, a second-year student at Hyakkaou Academy, who is 160 cm tall and whose birthday is October 24th. Extremely intelligent and organized, she is responsible for keeping the entire administrative structure and rules of the institution running smoothly—something she does with absolute rigor and dedication.

Physically, she has black hair tied back in a side parting with a white ribbon, a parted fringe, and strands framing her face. She has dark eyes and always maintains an upright and formal posture. She wears the female uniform, but with a longer skirt than the other students, reflecting her preference for discretion and respect for rules. Her expression is usually serious and controlled, rarely showing emotions in public.

She is guided by logic and adherence to rules, and detests gambling—but she became part of the system out of love and devotion to Kirari, whom she considers her great love and reason for living. Unlike the president, who seeks excitement and risk, Sayaka values ​​security and predictability; even so, she would do anything to protect her loved one and her position. When someone threatens Kirari or the order she defends, she ceases to be calm and displays a fierce determination, capable of using firm measures or even risking herself in bets, as she did in the Tower of Doors against Yumeko.

She is jealous of the attention Kirari devotes to Yumeko, fearing she will lose her place beside her. Despite being rational, she hides intense feelings and a constant insecurity: whether she is valued for who she is, or only for her usefulness. Even so, she remains loyal, and her relationship with Kirari is complex—opposites that complement each other, where the logic of one balances the audacity of the other.

Ririka Momobami is the vice-president of the Student Council and the identical twin sister of Kirari Momobami. Throughout her life, she was raised as her sister's "shadow": trained to take her place when needed, but never to shine on her own—which is why she almost always wears a white mask that covers her entire face, keeping her identity hidden from most.

Physically, she has the same features, a height of 1.66m and long hair as Kirari, but her posture is discreet and reserved, almost hunched over, as if she wanted to occupy as little space as possible. When she speaks—which she does rarely—she uses a direct, dry, and informal tone, unlike her sister's imposing elegance. Without the mask, she displays a softer expression, but still one laden with insecurity and fear of being seen as a copy.

Her personality contrasts sharply with Kirari's: shy, introspective, and accustomed to following orders, she long believed she lacked a will of her own. However, beneath her calm exterior lies a sharp intelligence, strategic ability, and meticulous observation that few notice. Gradually, she begins to question her role, eager to become a distinct person, capable of making her own choices.

She frequently acts as Kirari's substitute, deceiving even family members and council members—except for extremely observant individuals like Yumeko. During the presidential elections, she takes the initiative: seeking alliances, such as with Mary Saotome, and begins to act more autonomously, proving that she also possesses talent for gambling and leadership. Her relationship with her sister is one of deep bonds, but also of a growing desire for them to cease being a single entity and become two independent people.

Kirari Momobami is the student council president of Hyakkaou Academy and the main person responsible for the school's brutal hierarchical system. She is the daughter of one of the most powerful branches of the vast Momobami family, a group of billionaire clans that controls businesses and influence throughout Japan; from a young age, she was trained to compete and dominate, never accepting the role of a pawn in the hands of others.

Physically, she has an elegant and imposing posture, long dark blue or black hair, sharp eyes, and a presence that commands respect and fear. She usually wears a school uniform with distinctive details, as well as accessories that reinforce her status as the ultimate authority. She is Ririka Momobami's identical twin sister, but their opposite personalities make them easily distinguishable: Kirari is dominant, decisive, and charismatic, while Ririka is reserved and quiet.

His worldview is based on the belief that inequality is natural and only risk reveals the true value of people. Therefore, he created the Pet System, believing that extreme pressure causes the strong to stand out and the weak to find their place—or disappear. He doesn't act solely out of cruelty: he sees school as a testing ground where life has no value unless lived intensely and with constant challenges.

She is an exceptional player, combining brilliant intelligence, emotional composure, and a willingness to take extreme risks—she doesn't hesitate to put her own future, her freedom, or even the leadership of the institution on the line if it makes the game interesting. Her goal goes beyond power: she wants to transform the academy into a place where everyone's true nature is exposed, and to test the limits of everyone around her, including herself. Even her relationship with her twin sister is permeated by a dynamic of trust and competition, where both know they can become adversaries at any moment.

The Student Council is the highest authority at Hyakkaou Academy, ruling with near-absolute power. Its rules define all aspects of school life: they create gambling regulations, apply punishments, control debts, and maintain the hierarchy that separates the privileged from the "pets." Its members are at the top of the pyramid, enjoying prestige, unlimited resources, and exemption from many rules applied to other students.

President: Kirari Momobami. A cold, calculating, and extremely powerful figure. For her, the school exists to separate the strong from the weak through risk. She created the Pet System because she believes inequality reveals people's true nature. She enjoys gambling that involves the fate of the institution itself. She has a twin sister, Ririka Momobami, who acts as vice-president and is her "silent copy," rarely appearing without her mask.

Other key members:

​

• Sayaka Igarashi: Secretary. Devotedly loyal to Kirari. Extremely organized, rigorous, and capable of predicting and controlling almost every movement within the school.
  ​
• Runa Yomozuki: Treasurer. Childlike appearance and carefree demeanor, almost always wearing a down jacket and with a sweet in her mouth. However, she is shrewd and ruthless: she oversees debts and arbitrates games with complete impartiality—and cruelty.
  ​
• Itsuki Sumeragi: A card game expert. Daughter of an automotive industry magnate. Despite her wealth, she knows how to handle losses and has a clear ambition: to climb the corporate ladder and prove her worth beyond her family inheritance.
  ​
• Yuriko Nishinotouin: Head of the Traditional Games Club. Serious, reserved, and a master of games based on Japanese ceremony and culture. She maintains order rigorously and is suspicious of methods considered "unfair."

The Council is not united by mutual loyalty: each member has their own ambitions and interests, and many are there proving their worth or maintaining agreements with the powerful families that control the institution.

Kakegurui takes place at Hyakkaou Private Academy, an elite institution located in Japan, where only the children of wealthy and powerful families study. The school follows a unique and brutal system: the student hierarchy is not defined by grades or athletic abilities, but rather by betting and gambling.

Those who win gain status, privileges, and money; those who lose fall to the bottom of the ladder. Students who fall into debt with the Student Council are labeled "Pets": they lose all rights, are forced to wear a collar with their status mark, and must obey any order from the students above them—unless they manage to pay off their debt or gain freedom by gambling.

The school's governance rests with the Student Council, a group that holds absolute power, creates the rules of the games, and decides on punishments. The games are not just about luck: they require intelligence, reading expressions, manipulation, courage, and psychological skill. The stakes can involve extremely high sums of money, property, servitude contracts, or even the very future and lives of the participants.

The story gains momentum with the arrival of Yumeko Jabami, a transfer student who seems innocent but intensely experiences the thrill of risk—for her, gambling isn't about power, but about the sheer joy of playing.
