Legendz (レジェンズ, Rejenzu?) is a role-playing game, an anime, a toy, card game, and manga series.
The Legendz manga is about a boy at Ryudo Elementary School (竜童学校 Ryūdō Gakkō) named Ken Kazaki, who along with his loyal Windragon Shiron battles other people who raise and train monsters. He later enters the Legendz Carnival competition, where he learns of an evil that threatens the world.
Characters in the manga
Ken Kazaki (風来ケン , Kazaki Ken?)
A normally aloof kid who takes Legendz seriously. His Legendz is the Windragon Shiron (シロン, Windragon Shiron ?). He is the Wind Saga. He's really been influenced by Eiji Yashiro, after he had been beaten twice by him and ruthlessly pressed Shiron into training. Ken has a way of forcing others to drink his green tonic (that his grandmother made) for him; once his grandmother accidentally stuffed it down Yuki's throat, and he had pushed Shiron into doing so.
Ririko Yasuhara (安原りり子 , Yasuhara Ririko?)
A girl talented at Legendz who has a Mermaid Tetty. She is the Saga of Water. The Water Saga's greatest gift is one of healing, which she used to the maximum when driven to do so. She likes Ken, and was shocked when learned that he was going to America.
Eiji Yashiro (八代英治 , Yashiro Eiji?)
The champion of the previous year's Legendz Carnival. His Legendz is a Dwarf named Kotaro. When Ken was in third grade, Eiji taught him to respect his Legendz because they are alive. He moved to America shortly after that. He liked to flick Ken's forehead and grin, "I sure like your forehead."
Hideaki Hiyama (檜山ヒデアキ, Hiyama Hideaki?)
A boy who loses to Ririko every time despite all of his research on the game.
Hosuke Dekai (出海砲輔 , Dekai Hōsuke?)
The school bully who thinks that he is the best at Legendz. Hosuke has a Troll named Banriki. He wants the Golden Soul Figure. He even tried cheating in the school Legendz tournament to acquire it. He was in the Ryudo Elementary Four, but it is unknown if he was kicked out. Ken calls him "troll."
Shunsuke Dekai (出海瞬輔, Dekai Shunsuke?)
Hosuke's younger brother who wants to win at Legendz. However, his neglection of his Werewolf Balthus prevents his victory. When Balthus is driven to attack him and Hosuke, Shunsuke refuses to attack back and instead defends himeself and Hosuke, remarking that "Balthus is my best friend." Yet, later on, he loses to Tetty and Ririko.
Leo Engokuin (炎獄院レオ , Engokuin Reo?)
The son of the president of DWC. He runs this year's Legendz Carnival competition. His Legendz is the Blazedragon Greedo. Leo is one of the two Fire Sagas. He had red eyes and fire came out of his hands, and had no friends as a child but his sister.
Kaoruko Goshika (御鹿カオルコ, Goshika Kaoruko?)
A contestant in the Legendz Carnival. She is the daughter of a Legendz researcher looking for crystals (her character background is very similar to Haruka's in the anime). Her Legendz is Bjork the Golem. She is the Earth Saga. Ken calls her "Miss Underwear," because in the Legendz Carnival, she wore bloomers that Ken thought at first were underwear.
Namio Afuro (阿風呂ナミオ, Afuro Namio?) / Namio Curly
Leo's assistant. His most prominent feature is his large Afro-style wig. He loves wigs, and tries them on when alone. He's been with Leo awhile.
Mio Engokuin (炎獄院ミオ, Engokuin Mio?)
Leo's older twin sister. Mio was kidnapped by Necrom, the Dark Kingdom. Mio is the other Fire Saga. She occasionally pulls on Leo's face, and once made him promise that he would be strong.
Meiko Kajiwara

Yuki Amagi (天城勇樹, Amagi Yūki?)
A sixth grader at Ken's school. Yuki offers Ken his Golden Soul Figure if Ken proves himself as worthy of the soul figure. Ken's reply? He stuffed it into Yuki's mouth. He is the leader of the Ryudo Four and wields the Yeti Gosetsu.
Maki Mitsui (三井真希 , Mitsui Maki?)
Another sixth grader who has a Kansai dialect. She is a member of the Ryudo Four. Her Legendz is Suzu, a Catsy. Both of them love meat buns.

Is a fire-type Legendz, he transforms into a rose which Dino takes around with him. Greedo is part of a three-Legendz team called G-W-Nicol. Despite his rebel appearance and tough personality he slowly grows to befriend Dino and is actually quite friendly. He is a stark contrast to Dino in many ways.
Wolfy the Werewolf (ウォルフィ, Wolfy the Werewolf ?)
* Voiced by: Yuto Nakano
Earth-type Legendz. A member of Greedo's group, G-W-Nicol. It is hinted he and Dandy Crocodile knew each other in the past, but this is mentioned briefly and never speculated upon.
Leo the Manticore (リーオン, Leo the Manticore ?)

Ranshiin (ランシーン, Ranshiin ?)
* Voiced by: Kazuhiko Inoue
A mysterious black-winged Windragon who seems to be the one in true control of DWC (he bullies and intimidates the President of the company constantly) and has an interest in Shiron. He seems to be rather easily annoyed by the lack of wind at where he's staying. Ranshiin is physically and mentally an antithesis to Shiron in every way. While he seems to be the story's main antagonist whose intention is to wipe out all humans from the Earth, there is very little background information on him and nothing at all is revealed about him even when the series ends. The idea of him being such a mysterious character stems from the fact that his bio always appears as a series of question marks in the opening theme. In addition, it seems he is prone to small fits of insanity, though why this happens is relatively unexplained as well.
Minor/miscellaneous characters in the anime
Goblin
Summoned by BB to attack Shu in the first episode so he will surrender the wind talispod. While at DWC, he seems to be a file clerk.
Big Goblin
Formed by multiple goblins merging together, Shiron's 1st opponent.
Storm Worm
Shiron's 2nd opponent. Does not put up much of a fight.
Giant Crab
Shiron's 3rd opponent. It only really wants to return to the sea.
Dandy the Devour Crocodile
First appears in episode 4. A water-type Legendz who is hired by DWC to negotiate with Shu for his Talispod, but is reformed and does good deeds. He calls Shiron his "aniki". Later in the series, Dandy opens up a bar for Legendz to hang out at called "Cafe Wani no Ana", meaning "Crocodile Cave Cafe". He snaps at people when he is called a crocodile. He apparently knows Salamander, as he mentions him by name in episode 4, but exactly how they met is unknown (their friendship is unusual in that they are both opposite elements). Voice Actor: Kouji Ishii
Anna the Harpy
First appears in episode 5. A caring, free-spirited wind-type Legendz who disguises herself as a young girl to steal Shu's Talispod. However, she realises that she cares for Shu.
Fire Giant
He belongs to Edo, the self proclaimed Fire Saga. Though he knows Edo isn't very reliable, he supports him as best he can.
Cait Sith
An intelligent cat Legendz working for DWC. However, his weakness is that he can behave very much like an ordinary cat (chasing mice, laying in sunlight, etc.) though that was due to Shu's constant attempts at proving he was literally a cat.
Hellhounds
Five dog Legendz that combine into one. They greatly endangered Meg's life.

Mysterious divine Legendz that appear near the end of the series, their only interest is in speaking to Shiron. The leader of these gods (a being cloaked in bright light so you can't make out his face) tends to go off subject and the others interrupt him before he goes off on a tangent.
Wind-Maker?/Kanerudo Windragon
An incredibly powerful Legendz of "legend" who had the power to wield all the elements. He was once the general of the army of Legendz and the heir to the throne of Tornado King Dragon. He nearly brought the world to ruin long ago and has not been heard from since, becoming no more than a legend. He is depicted in the removed and hidden final pages of the "Book of Legendz", along with many pages worth of undeciphered text.
