Karma Akabane

Karma akabane is a student in korosensei's class 3-e of kunugigaoka junior high school who had been suspended from school due to his violent behavior. He is also one of nagisa's closest friends. Karma has pale skin, short red hair, and pale sharp eyes that appear as either mercury or gold in color. Behind his usual innocent-looking smiling face hides a torturous and rather sadistic personality. He has a slender build and has also been shown to have exceptionally sharp canine teeth.

Among all the class 3-e students, he is the only one to wear a black blazer as opposed to the standard school-issue. In the anime, karma is considered to be the most physically attractive out of all the guys in class e by the girls. Seven years after graduation, karma has grown considerably taller and has swept-back hair. Karma had for a long time been a rebellious student with a problematic attitude. However, due to his good grades, his homeroom teacher had supported him and proclaimed that "As long as you are in the right, sensei will be on your side". One day he had found a senior from class e being bullied and had jumped to his rescue, severely injuring the main building's 3rd year in the process. Convinced that he was still in the 'right', he was shocked when his homeroom teacher told him that he was in the 'wrong'. The teacher then further elaborated that he had no right to protect a worthless piece of trash from class e and instead injured a fellow student with a bright future. The teacher then told him that starting his 3rd year he would be dropped to class e.

This caused the teacher's worth to 'die' in karma's eyes, also causing karma to stop caring about teachers in general and instead focused on doing what he wanted. In his first two years at kunigigaoka, karma had been friends with fellow classmate nagisa shiota. He first approached nagisa when he saw the latter reading an article about karma's favourite film director adapting a comic book, and invited nagisa to watch with him. For a short time the two hung out together, with karma being able to be less guarded with nagisa. One day at a fast food outlet though, karma was poked from behind by nagisa in trying to find him but felt as though he had been viciously stabbed with a sword. Karma sensed a mysterious but sinister feeling from nagisa, but as he realized that he does not know how to deal with this (having being used to beating his problems with his fists). As a result karma distanced himself from nagisa. By the time of his suspension, their relationship reverted back to being just classmates. Marksmanship: karma is ranked 3rd for marksmanship, boys' side (fourth in the class). Intelligence: karma is one of the smartest characters in the series, being capable of maintaining top grades with little effort. He assets his wit and guile to assassinations as well as other scenarios that may require it and is often the first person to notice any oddities that may occur around and within class e. Leadership: karma is capable of utilizing and leading his classmates, making use of their abilities in the most suitable way. He demonstrates this ability in bits and pieces throughout the series (e.G. Subduing itona at the natural pool), but only fully begin to demonstrate this in chapter 145, where he guided each of his teammates to positions best befitting them. Combat skills: besides his intelligence, karma also a knack for battle and enjoys it. He also has good physical abilities like mobility, fighting skills, and a good mind for pranks and foul play. He was also stated by kimura that no one could compare to karma at direct hand to hand combat. He is also the physically strongest student in class e as he has no trouble subduing terasaka who has the most muscular build in the class and it took both maehara and isogai struggling to physically restrain him before he could have injured nagisa. He is capable of fighting toe-to-toe with a full-fledged assassin (e.G. Grip), and his reflexes allow him to pinch down an enemy's attacks.

Tōka Yada

Tōka yada is a student in korosensei's class 3-e in kunugigaoka junior high school. Yada has dark brown hair (mid-brown in the anime) held up in a ponytail and presumably dark brown eyes (light purple in the anime). She also has the largest bust out of all the female students in class e.

She is the big sister of class 3-e and one of the most enthusiastic students about learning the art of infiltration from irina. She's been described as being adult-like and cool to the point that kayano admits that she's attracted to her despite her huge bust.

Knifework: she has the third best knifework on the girls side, along with hinano kurahashi and rinka hayami. Infiltration: as one of the more enthusiastic students in terms of irina's lessons, yada has gained notable skill in grifting as shown in chapter 66, when she successfully drove away two guys by pretending to be a mafia princess. Negotiation: thanks to irina's lessons, yada has become a skilled negotiator, and she's usually relied on by the class for the task.

Aguri Yukimura

Aguri yukimura is the former teacher of class 3-e and the late older sister of akari yukimura. Aguri has short black hair with bangs that go past her eyes, framing her face. She has a large bust as it was shown when her sister felt some jealousy of her genes. Aguri is known for her unusual fashion sense as it was noted by the original god of death and many other people including her students from class 3-e.

Aguri is shown to be cheerful, clear-minded, and passionate when it comes to teaching. As a teacher of class 3-e she is quite intelligent, being able to teach any subject in spite of chemistry being her first preference. She is also hard-working, having been essentially forced to work as a lab assistant to her abusive fiancé during night hours. Aguri is also very perceptive. When the original god of death wondered why his apprentice betrayed him, aguri replied that his apprentice might have wanted his master to "See him", a perception later proved to be tragically prophetic. She is known for her odd sense of fashion which often leaves others dumbfounded. Despite that she is remembered very highly by those who knew her and continues to make an impact in their lives.

Shiro

Shiro (real name kotarō yanagisawa) is a mysterious man and former caretaker of itona horibe. He is a recurring antagonist to class 3-e in the first half of the series, but later serves as the final antagonist. Shiro wears white robes and a mask over his face, all made from anti-sensei fibers. His actual appearance was unknown until he removed his mask in chapter 133, he is revealed to have short, wavy black hair and light eyes with his left eye being a prosthetic eye.

This chapter also revealed that he used voice changing technology to hide his identity from korosensei. During his first appearance, he seems funny and easygoing, and although he retains this attitude while he and itona attack korosensei, it soon becomes clear that he is conniving, manipulative, and ruthless in his ambitions.

Furthermore, he sees practically everyone other than himself as disposable. In his past as a researcher, he was revealed to be quite umempathetic; he was willing to use human guinea pigs for his research and took out his anger on his coworkers and subordinates, including his fiancee aguri yukimura, for getting in the way of his research. Because of his personality, koro-sensei exploited it twice for his advantage before he was completely defeated as he was abandoned by many country leaders after his defeat in the final battle between yanagisawa, god of death and koro-sensei.

Tomohito Sugino

Tomohito sugino is a student in korosensei's class 3-e of kunugigaoka junior high school and one of nagisa's best friends. Sugino has the generic short, spiked black hair for male shōnen characters and dark blue eyes. Out of all of the males in his class, he has the most normal design.

Sugino is an energetic boy with a love for baseball. He's a very happy and friendly person and gets along with his classmates well. Before he was transferred to class-e, sugino was a member of the school's baseball club. However, due to his relatively slow pitches frequently getting batted, he was removed from the regular line up of his club. Because he was moved down, he had no motivation to study and thus got moved to class-e.

Knifework: sugino is the third best for knifework on the boys' side (and class 3-e as a whole). Baseball: sugino admitted that he has a slow pitch and compared to professional baseball pitcher arita, his muscle configuration isn't so good. However, he has a very malleable wrist and elbow which allows him to change a ball's speed with various pitches. He uses this ability in combat by throwing rocks against craig houjou, in part of the class's hit-and-run tactics against the 'divine soldier'.

Itona Horibe

Itona horibe is the second assassin transfer student to arrive at class 3-e, following the previous assassin, ritsu. In his initial appearances, he didn't attend classes, but did reappear in a few chapters throughout the series until ultimately joining class e for good.

Itona has short, spiked platinum blond hair (light blue-tinted white in the anime) which as of chapter 87 he now wears a large bandanna over and sharp light blue eyes (yellow in the anime).He is short, but quite muscular.

Mechanics and engineering: itona has knack for gadgets and tinkering due to learning the basics of mechanical and technical engineering from his father's company. He often puts his skills to good use with not just assassinations, but also in spying and reconnaissance when needed. He is often tasked with using custom-made rc vehicles that he constructs for reconnaissance. Intelligence: itona was revealed to have a high level of intelligence that was hindered and couldn't be used due to his tentacles. Other skills: itona has incredible physical abilities that he possibly retained from his modification with shiro. This was shown during the climax of the athletic festival arc when he performed a six foot jump into the air after being catapulted by isogai (the average vertical jump for a 14-15 year old male is about 17 inches) and brought class a's pole to the ground.

Yukiko Kanzaki

Yukiko kanzaki is a student in class 3-e of kunugigaoka junior high school, taught by korosensei. Kanzaki is a graceful and refined girl who's also very diligent and reliable. She's kind and calm with an elegant demeanor, but at the same time has a lot of backbone and isn't afraid to stand up for herself and will retain her usual smile while doing so. She also shows she does have a rebellious side due to the expectations her father had of her and she is good at arcade games.

Her classmates mention she has bad luck with men, as she usually and unintentionally attracts men with her beauty and her seemingly passive personality, as shown in episodes 7 and 15. Marksmanship: yukiko is ranked 5th for the girls' side in marksmanship who is said to specialize in short-range weaponry. She scores 73/200 for this in june. Japanese literature: yukiko has a mastery over this subject and currently holds the second place spot for japanese literature in kunugigaoka.

Other skills: because she ignored her studies and went to arcades often, yukiko has become highly skilled at games, most notably danmaku and possibly dance dance revolution. Her mastery in online shooters (on a virtual battlefield) would become the basis of her assassination techniques, in particular striking at the enemy's strategic position by flanking from the side.

Manami Okuda

Manami okuda is a student in class 3-e of kunugigaoka junior high school, taught by korosensei.

Manami has black hair, styled into twin braids that reach just below her shoulder and brown eyes (lavender in the anime). She wears glasses and has a more petite frame than most of the girls in class 3-e. Seven years after graduating class 3-e, her hair is styled into a single braid, which rested over her left shoulder, instead of her usual twin braids.

Poison making/chemistry: despite the fact that she states that she isn't really good with surprise attacks and expressing things in language, okuda excels in chemistry and mathematics and is very capable of making even the most deadliest of poisons for various situations. Science: okuda has a talent with this subject and after learning to incorporate literature into it, she has become even better at it. This has proven useful as she is later able to decipher the complex technical jargon and translate it for the rest of the class to understand. She's also ranked first in the school for the subject.

Nagisa Shiota

Nagisa shiota is a student in korosensei's class 3-e of kunugigaoka junior high school and the protagonist and main narrator of assassination classroom. He is also the one who ultimately assassinated korosensei. Seven years later, he becomes the adviser of paradise high school class 3-5. Assassination: nagisa's physical abilities are mediocre, and it worthy to note that he is one of the weakest amongst the boys. If a comparison were to be made, nagisa's constitution and strength are more easily comparable to a female of his age. However, nagisa has an extraordinary amount of natural talent as an assassin as shown in his duels against takaoka. This inclination has also been made apparent numerous times during the span of the story.

He is described by korosensei to be a 'pure assassin'. Several other characters such as karma and maehara have noted that he is full of surprises - one can never know when or where nagisa will aim to strike. His talent in the art of assassination has garnered respect from even those who are not his peers, and there are times when others have commented on the potential nagisa possessed that could be fulfilled in the role of a professional hitman. In the end, though, nagisa does not pursue this path and decides to use his abilities to help others in the same way korosensei did. Bloodlust:nagisa possesses a frighteningly massive amount of hidden bloodlust despite his initial character, impression and appearance which can affect his opponents in varying ways; the most significant, powerful reaction involve immobilization and an inability to counterattack or to fight back, and this type of reaction affects even trained, jaded assassins. This is made very clearly evident for the first time during his mock assassination with takaoka, and another early event is the incident when two of nagisa's old classmates threatened him. This unique talent has sparked the interest of all three of class e's main faculty. When nagisa's bloodlust is released or directed at someone, it is metaphorically represented as a large, blood-soaked snake coiled around nagisa's target with its fangs bared and ready to strike at any moment. In later chapters, his bloodlust takes the form of a flaming aura around him in a way that either mimics or reflects that of the god of death. However, if nagisa were to lose control of his bloodlust due to emotional provocation, his inability to rein his bloodlust back under control is indicated in his eyes, which are illustrated as dull. Nagisa can grow reckless or lack foresight during combat while focusing on his target, and opponents with bloodlust that exceeds nagisa's own are not affected in the slightest.

People reading/discernment: nagisa developed the ability to read people's expressions and intentions with ease as a result of his past experience with his mother, hiromi shiota. There are occasions when he can detect if a person is lying or not being entirely truthful (e.G. Terasaka when he is plotting with shiro). After being placed on the receivingend of the god of death's improved clap stunner, this ability somehow later evolves into a sort of advanced ability that allows nagisa to analyze a person's state of mind simply by looking at them. This is illustrated and/or described as "Wavelengths" or "Wavelengths of consciousness" of people that represents their breathing, line of sight, facial expression, body language and more. This ability allows nagisa to find a person's "Gap in consciousness" or, in other words, openings where they let their guard down as well as their "Peak in consciousness", which is the state of mind I which a person is highly susceptible to outside stimuli such as the clap stunner, which he has made effective use of in different ways, from stunning enemies before attacking them to simple, almost trivial things such as being able to remove a size label from clothing without the person wearing it noticing. Marksmanship: in june, nagisa scored 84/200 in marksmanship, making him the fifth best among the boys and seventh overall amongst his class. Kiss of death: nagisa has shown some level of skill when using irina's "Kiss of death" technique, able to acquire 15 "Hits" off of kaede. Supposedly, unlike the others in his class, nagisa is quite excellent with a lot of potential for improvement in this particular skill. Irina has remarked that nagisa's training in indiscriminate french kisses have bestowed on him remarkable enough skill to exceed his classmates by a large margin. Such margins are represented numerically, as nagisa is supposedly capable of registering a total of 40 "Hits" if he were to place more effort into his kiss.

Irina Jelavić

Irina jelavić is the english teacher of class 3-e of kunugigaoka junior high school and a professional hitwoman hired by the government to assassinate korosensei. She is of serbian descent.

Irina is a tall, beautiful young woman. She has long blonde hair, big blue eyes, and fair skin. With an ample bust and a curvy physique, she has a very seductive body that she utilize to seduce and manipulate her assassination targets in order to achieve her goal. Irina is usually seen in high brands and fashionable clothing which emphasizes her flattering form. This often causes karasuma to reprimand her for wearing "Inappropriate" clothing for a teacher. After the events of the god of death arc, she switches to a much more conservative apparel, which consists in a turtleneck sweater and a long black skirt. Despite her life experiences and mature appearance she's revealed to be only 20 years old, much to the surprise of her students.

Infiltration: as an infiltration assassin, irina is considered second to none. She is able to charm her way into her target's inner circles, penetrating the highest security and killing them when they're alone at point-blank range with little difficulty. Irina is seen to be able to adopt different personalities in order to infiltrate into the various situations her missions put her through. Planning: after her seduction techniques, this is considered to be one of her greatest talents. She elaborates detailed plans completely on her own, with backups for any complication that might arise, thus giving her target no chance of survival. Linguistics: irina is extremely skilled in conversational abilities, being fluent in 10 different languages. Through these skills combined with her infiltration abilities, irina is able to extract information from her targets. Martial arts competence/weaponry master: being an assassin, irina shows considerable expertise with handling weapons such as firearms and melee weapons. She's also shown her abilities with setting up complex trigger traps when attempting to kill korosensei. She is shown to be skilled in martial arts but since she's an assassin and not a combatant, she's severely under-skilled when compared to more prominent fighters in the series, such as karasuma. Other abilities: irina has been shown to be able to play the piano at a concert-performer level with ease while still being able to draw people's attention through minuscule body movements. She is also an expert negotiator.
