The son of a famous artist, his family recently moved to Hinamizawa after a violent incident event involving him in their hometown. His charisma and remarkable talent for rhetoric, which earns him the nickname "Magician of Words," allow him to easily make new friends and become popular in the village, not to mention winning some club activities. Early in the story, in the Onikakushi-hen arc, he is affected by paranoia and driven to commit murder, but the inner strength and unshaken belief in his friends he acquires in the other arcs are one of the keys to solve the case. Eventually, he is even able to recall some of the events of the past repetitions. Before fighting, he wields Satoshi's old baseball bat. It is later revealed in the story that before arriving there, he grew weary of school, due to his ostracism from having a genius level intelligence, and was the perpetrator of a series of crimes involving shooting children with a BB gun.
{{anime voices|Mai Nakahara|Mela Lee}} Played by: Airi Matsuyama (film), Minami Kato (TV series) One of Keiichi's friends and the main female protagonist of the question arcs. She is very kind and takes care of her friends, but is also naïve and usually subject to light teasing. She is distinguished by her obsession with things she perceives as adorable, calling them {{Nihongo|kāii|かぁいい||a slurred form of {{Nihongo|kawaii|かわいい}}, meaning "cute"}}, which are usually moekko characters or items she finds while scouring the local dump. Whenever she sees something that grabs her attention, she proclaims {{Nihongo|"I'm gonna take it home!"|お持ち帰り〜|Omochikaerī}} and proceeds to try and do so, becoming virtually unstoppable during these intervals. She also utters the phrase {{Nihongo|haū|はぅ〜}} when excited or flustered, and has a habit of repeating phrases at the ends of her sentences, most famously {{Nihongo|kana? kana?|かな? かな?||lit. "I wonder, I wonder?"}}. Her real name, {{Nihongo|Reina|礼奈}}, was used normally while living with her parents, one year before leaving Ibaraki Prefecture. She becomes upset with her divorced mother for attempting to marry Akihito and assaults three male students under the influence of the syndrome. Believing herself to be cursed by Oyashiro for leaving Hinamizawa, Reina and her father returned to the village with after the incident, and changed her name to "Rena". So as not to alarm Keiichi, Rena claims to be a relative newcomer of the village. Due to the incident, Rena is sensitive about the topic of Oyashiro, believing strongly in the existence of the deity and the curse, and becoming angry and unstable whenever anyone questions it. She wields a large machete borrowed from her tool shed.
{{anime voices|Satsuki Yukino|Megan Hollingshead}} Played by: Rin Asuka (film), Rika Nakai (TV series) One of Keiichi's friend's, Shion's twin sister and the leader of the after-school club. Her social skills are on par with Keiichi, whom she highly respects as a friend and rival (though it is later shown that she is in love with him). She acts like a tomboy, and calls herself oji-san (meaning old man), but has a hidden girlish side. She is next in line to be the head of the Sonozaki household, one of the Three Families holding tremendous influences. She is often seen with a holstered airsoft gun, even though she does not use. It was removed in the PS2 adaption of the game, but it was adept in the use of martial arts. She is notable as the only character that has never been driven to the extreme paranoia that causes the others to kill in the question arcs and the first two answer arcs. Her real name is actually Shion, as she was born second to the family, but due to sister swapping even at a young age, she was mistakenly taken as Mion and branded with the oni tattoo, ultimately causing her to stay as Mion. She organizes a variety of strategy-based games for the members to play with penalties for any losers. Penalties usually involve wearing embarrassing or frilly outfits on the way home. Each game she organizes involves bending the general rules or using questionable and crude methods to win such as playing cards with a marked deck or using feminine wiles to discourage opposition.
{{anime voices|Satsuki Yukino|Megan Hollingshead}} Played by: Rika Nakai Mion's twin sister living in Okinomiya. In spite of their externally different personalities, they often switch places and it can be difficult to distinguish between them. It is noted by Rena that, although externally the twins are very different on the inside, they are really the same. Their first switch took place when they were little. Right before tattooing the symbol of an demon, the sisters were born and are mistakenly identified. Since then, she switched their identities, which was only mentioned in the sound novel and manga. Shion abandons St. Lucia Academy and returns to the village. In spite of it, she and Mion maintain a close relationship. In most of the arcs, she is at a different school from the other characters, and therefore appears less frequently. Shion blames the Three Families, after Satoshi disappeared in Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen (the latter told from her point of view). In the anime, she is required to perform a "Distinction of Right and Wrong," a ritual of self-mutiliation to pluck out three fingernails in front of witnesses in order to purge her 'sin', believing that doing so will cause Satoshi to be spared, an event personally overseen by Mion, which drastically strains their relationship. This, along with a demonic alter-ego she manifested in her grief, eventually drives her to mass murder, which led her previously latent paranoid schizophrenia to eventually develop into a full-on psychosis. One of the last words that they exchanged before he disappeared was a promise to take care of Satoko. In Watanagashi-hen and, more explicitly, Meakashi-hen, her resentment toward Satoko for her role in his disappearance causes her to forget this promise and murder her. In Meakashi-hen, she inadvertently blames her family and friends about Satoshi's disappearance. She works as a waitress at the Angel-Mort Cafe and is the manager's assistant for the Hinamizawa Fighters little league team. Shion wears a yellow ribbon in her hair, and wields a taser for emergency situations and guns in Matsuribayashi-hen.
{{anime voices|Mika Kanai|Jennie Kwan}} Played by: Erena Ono (film), Reina Seiji (TV series) One of Keiichi's best friends, Satoshi's younger sister, and Teppei and Tamae's niece. She has a distinctive style of speech, ending all of her sentences with ~wa, and is known for her boastful laugh. In spite of her young age, she temporarily has an impressive strength, sometimes lure them with traps and likes to practice on Keiichi. Although her personality is quite energetic and mischievous during the events of the games, her past was full of trauma. In Matsuribayashi-hen, Irie learns that Satoko shoves her parents from the cliff to their deaths below the river. Satoko suffers with the syndrome at that time and though Takano wanted to dissect her alive for study, Irie fought to save her life. She is one of the few characters to ever recover from the fifth level, but has to take shots on a regular basis. Though she greatly misses Satoshi, and feels that by being strong he will return, she comes to regard Keiichi as her new {{nihongo|"nii-nii"|にーにー||a cute term for "older brother"}}, and once even regards Shion as {{nihongo|"nee-nee"|ねーねー||a cute term for "older sister"}}. She dislikes kabocha, and confuses cauliflower with broccoli.
{{anime voices|Yukari Tamura|Rebecca Forstadt}} Played by: Aika (film), Hinata Honma (TV series) The main character in Minagoroshi-hen and one of Keiichi's friends. She is in the same grade level as Satoko and they live together in the same house. She is revered by the villagers as the heir of the local shrine, and plays the role of a miko in the annual Watanagashi Festival. She becomes the head of her house surpassing her parents, but rarely attends town meetings at a young age. While she does speak in normal context, she likes to say nonsense words such as {{nihongo|mii|みぃ〜}} and {{nihongo|nipah|にぱ〜}} and often ends her sentences with {{nihongo|nano desu|〜なのです||lit. "it is so"}}, which inflame Rena's passion for cute things. She also likes to describe events using sound effects, such as "The cat was going 'nya nya' and 'scritch scritch'" or saying "Clap! Clap! Clap!" when clapping her hands. In reality, she is being reborn in a 'new world' at some random time before or during June 1983, and in most of the worlds she is the only one to remember the previous lives. She believes she has lived over 100 years by the time of Tsumihoroboshi-hen, but continues to act like a child in order not to alarm her friends. Prior to Matsuribayashi-hen, she befriends Hanyū beyond her imagination. Despite her young age, she sometimes drink wine and eat kimchi as silencing Hanyū. Their connections linked together, though it seems to be redundant by Matsuribayashi-hen, possibly because of Hanyū's arrival. It is later revealed that Rika's death would cause an outbreak in the village which everyone would go on a rampage of hysteria. Further on, she reasons with Takano.
{{anime voices|Yui Horie}} The mysterious "transfer student" in Matsuribayashi-hen. She has a pair of dark colored horns on her head, one of which is chipped slightly. In the original sound novels, they are mentioned by Keiichi, who mistook them for toys, but after noticing that Hanyū was sensitive about them, he apologizes and the club members assure her there is nothing wrong with them. However in the anime, nobody notices or mention them, except Takano calling her a "monster". She has appeared to Rika all her life, but only in Matsuribayashi-hen and Miotsukushi-hen did she gain the power to interact with others, posing as a distant relative of Rika's and given the name "Hanyū Furude." Like many of the characters, she can be frightening when angered, and with her spirit-like nature, her appearance can change with her mood until she takes a physical form. She is the one responsible for the eternally repeating June 1983, which she created in order to save Rika. She is also responsible for the "footstep you hear after you stop walking," "feeling of being watched as you sleep," and hearing "I'm sorry" when no one is around or says it, which causes the characters to have severe paranoia. She follows around the characters, repeatedly apologizing for not being able to change their fate. She is very meek and often makes the noise "Au au, au au…" when she is nervous or uncomfortable, or sometimes while trying to make a point. She tends to end her sentences with {{nihongo|nano desu|なのです||lit. "it is so"}}. She dislikes alcohol and kimchi, which Rika imbibes in large amounts as punishment when she finds Hanyu annoying (as Hanyu and Rika's senses are linked together until Hanyū takes physical form). She mentions that she is a "being above humans" after being sacrificed to atone for the sin of humans, while both Rika and Takano describe her as a kind of deity. Rika refers to her as "Oyashiro" when talking with others (evident from Shion's chat with Rika in Meakashi-hen) but does not personally think of her as Oyashiro; instead, she sees her as a close friend. In Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, Hanyū tells Rika that she was sacrificed to atone for the sins of the people of the village, and Hanyū asked {{Nihongo|Ōka Furude|古手 桜花|Furude Ōka}} (Hanyū's own daughter and Rika's ancestor, who appears physically almost identical to Rika) to kill her and then make the village a better place. In the DS-exclusive arc, Kotohogushi-hen, it was revealed that Hanyū's real name was {{Nihongo | Hainiryuun Ieasomuuru Jieda | ハイ{{=}}リューン・イェアソムール・ジェダ | }}, and that she had a child, Ōka, with the Shinto Priest Riku.

He disappears after Keiichi temporarily replaced him. In some arcs, he suffers with paranoia. He and Satoko cannot distinguish the differences between cauliflower and broccoli. He is referred to by her as nii-nii, a childish form of the Japanese word {{Nihongo|ani|兄||meaning older brother}}. According to the TIPS in Meakashi-hen, he boards the Shinkansen bound from Nagoya to Tokyo. It was revealed before Matsuribayashi-hen to be a result of him trying to abandon home for the abuse, but he change his mind a few moments later. In the anime series, Satoshi kills Tamae on the night of the festival, despite Shion's apology. Combined with the stress of taking care of Satoko and the murder, he succumbs to the Hinamizawa Syndrome. In Matsuribayashi-hen and Miotsukushi-hen, it is revealed that Irie put him under heavy sedation in the underground parts of the clinic.
The village's tutelary deity, also known as Oyashiro-sama. His sacred shrine is full of ancient torture equipment. Legend says that the curse brought peace between the villagers of Onigafuchi (Lit. Demon's abyss), the former name of the village, and the demons spouting from the Onigafuchi Marsh. His actual existence is something of debate, some can see him as the simple "perception" of a god. However, those who experience extreme paranoia refer to him as the "footsteps you hear when you stop walking" and felt like you were always "being watched". The curse turns out to be Hanyū, since some of the characters can hear her until Matsuribayashi-hen.
{{anime voices|Chafurin|John Snyder}} Played by: Tetta Sugimoto (film), Shinobu Tsuruta (TV series) A veteran police investigator learning to solve the case about the murders and avenge the first victim who he was friends with.

In the first six arcs, he commits suicide by clawing his throat out during the festival, triggering many different events. However, Miyo gives the H173 drug injection for him, produced in the process of developing a cure for the Hinamizawa Syndrome, but has the exact opposite effect.

Miyo reveals to be one who killed Rika, leaving her body and scattered organs out for the crows to eat. It is shown that after her parents died, Takano was sent to an orphanage as a child, where she and other children were regularly abused but they attempt to escape. Takano is rescued by her foster grandfather Doctor Hifumi. In the manga, they further detail what happens to her and her friends when they try to run away. She calls Hifumi, but is caught and she is forced to watch her friends undergo strange types of torture. They try to torture her, but Hifumi saves her. Her original name is {{Nihongo|Miyoko Tanashi|田無 美代子|Tanashi Miyoko}}, but she changed it when she was adopted by Hifumi. He teaches the path of medicine to her about the syndrome.

In the past, he has performed lobotomies without consent, which led to him being banished from the medical academic society in Tokyo.
