Amu Hinamori

Amu Hinamori (日奈森 あむ, Hinamori Amu^?)

Voiced by: Kanae Itō (speaking) Voiced by: Momoko Tsugunaga (singing)

• Height: 152 cm, Birthday: September 24, Blood type: O
• Guardian Chara: Ran, Miki, Suu

Protagonist. A student of Seiyo Elementary (fifth grade at start of story). Her charm point is her "×"-shape hair clip. During Chara Change and Chara Become her hair clip changes (Ran→Heart, Miki→Spade, Suu→Club) and the Chara Become forms are named: Ran→Amulet Heart, Miki→Amulet Spade, Suu→Amulet Clover. The characters Amu becomes are good at certain activities like Amulet Heart who is athletic, Amulet Spade who is good at Art and Crafts, and Amulet Clover who is good at cooking (all house-work in general).

Amu was seen as a cool and stylish girl and has become popular at school but what she really is is just a shy, gentle, docile and extremely normal girl. The main reason for this misunderstanding is the trendy punky clothing her mother buys for her. One night she wished she wasn't the type of person she currently was, and on the next morning, three Guardian Eggs appeared. She has a crush on Hotori Tadase, the King's Chair of Seiyo Elementary's Guardians. She confessed her feelings but was rejected.

At first, she rejected the offer to join the Guardians with the reason that she does not want to wear the royal cape. But on Tadase's sincere invitation, she joins the Guardians under a special position, the Joker. On joining the Guardians, she received the "Humpty Lock", a locket with a four leaf clover decoration. Nadeshiko stated that the last king left it and said 'entrust this to the joker whom comes with three Guardian Eggs'. Later on, it was explained to her that the Joker's duty to hunt X-Eggs.

It is seen that Amu might have a slight crush on Ikuto as whenever he touches her, she blushes. In volume 5, Amu goes on a date with Tadase, which shows a little bit more development of their relationship. She also was confronted by Ikuto, on her date, resulting to a confession from Ikuto saying the actual reason he bothers her is because he is interested in her.

Ami Hinamori (日奈森 あみ, Hinamori Ami^?)

Voiced by: Kurumi Mamiya

Amu's three-year-old sister. In chapter 4 of the manga, Ami thought Amu's Guardian Characters were dolls, so Amu left her Guardian Characters with Ami so Amu could deliver sweets to Tadase, only to soon find out that she delivered the wrong thing. In the Japanese version of the manga, Ami merely said shugoi, and the Guardian Characters thought she was mispronouncing "Shugo Chara". Unlike Amu, Ami is dressed in "Girly Lolita" clothing. She respects and looks up to both Utau and Amu. She loves to sing.

Voiced by: Reiko Takagi

• Birthday: March 29, Blood type: B, allergic to pollen
• Guardian Chara: Kiseki

The boy the same age as Amu who serves as the K-Chair (King's Chair). His alias is "Prince", and is Amu's love interest. Whenever he is called "Prince", his character changes into a violent, egotistical king who wishes to rule the world. Because of this, he does not do Chara Change with Kiseki unless it's absolutely necessary. Actually, he too is a shy person and is not a public speaker. So he wished to become stronger and become another character, much like Amu. He, along with the other guardians, tried to get Amu to join because of a prophecy about a girl who will appear with three Guardian Eggs. He lives in a traditional Japanese house. He had a precious dog named Betty (name learned in volume 2 of the manga) who died recently, and is still upset about it.

He claims to have a crush on Amulet Heart. He once also said that he loved Amu because Amulet Heart is her "self that she wants to be". At first he is about the same height as Amu, later on he grew taller. At one time he lost confidence as he can't seem to find the Embryo at all. At that time he was affected by the Black Diamonds CD, causing Kiseki to change to an X-Egg. Luckily Amu helped him out of this crisis and after that he is able to do Chara Become.

It was revealed later on in the manga that Nadeshiko is a boy and his real name is Nagihiko. It is the rule of the Fujisaki family that the males are trained to become oyama (male actors who plays female parts in kabuki). That is why Nagihiko wears female clothes and goes by a female name.

Ran (ラン, Ran^?)

Voiced by: Kana Asumi

She has a pink sun visor, a red themed cheerleader outfit, and wears a heart shaped hair clip. Dislikes silence. During Chara Change, Amu gains increased athletic abilities. Little wings appear at her wrists and ankles, which allows her to jump high and fly. Having a straight forward personality, Ran made Amu confess her crush to Tadase on their first Chara Change.

Amu becomes "Amulet Heart" on Chara Become with Ran. The clover decoration of her Humpty Lock changes to the color pink. Amu dons a pink themed cheerleader costume in this form. Her special move is "Spiral Heart" which is executed with the Heart Rod. When Amu does Chara Change with Ran, Ran says "Hop, Step, Jump". Ran was seen on Peach-Pit's website before the publication of Shugo Chara! volume 1.

Miki (ミキ, Miki^?)

Voiced by: Nanae Katō

A guardian chara with an artistic flair. A cool, quiet character. Her hairstyle is a short bob cut. She usually wears a pair of half-cut pants, a sky blue beret with a spade on it, and a blue themed outfit. Miki has shown an interest in both Tadase's Chara, Kiseki, and Ikuto's chara, Yoru. She comments that Yoru is cool and his tail is cute. This may imply the situation in Amu's heart.

The main ability after Chara Change is an increased artistic sense but that power is recklessly abused.

Amu becomes "Amulet Spade" on Chara Become with Miki. The clover decoration of her Humpty Lock changes to the color blue. Amu wears a white frilly blouse with a pair of hot pants, she also wears long, striped stockings and a garter belt; all in a blue themed costume. Her special move is "Colorful Canvas", where she paints with a giant paintbrush. Miki says "Drew, Draw, Drawn" during a Chara Change with Amu.

Suu (スゥ, Suu^?)

Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki

A guardian chara skilled in baking sweets and doing house work. A "my pace" character that is prone to silly mistakes. She has short hair with the sides grown long, curling inwards. She wears a bandanna on her head with a clover shaped hair clip and a green theme maid outfit. Dislikes caterpillars. Amu gains an improvement in cooking during Chara Change. Magical abilities like summoning large amounts of whip cream is also observed. In addition her speech and behavior becomes more lady-like.

Amu becomes "Amulet Clover" on Chara Become with Suu. The clover decoration of her Humpty Lock changes to the color green. She wears a green themed balloon skirt maid costume. Her special skill is "Remake Honey", a restoration type skill. Suu says "Chip, Syrup, Whip" during a Chara Change with Amu.

Ran's, Miki's and Suu's Chara Become all share another special skill, "Open Heart!". A skill that cleanse X Eggs and X Chara.

Dia (ダイヤ, Daiya^?) (official name unknown)

Dia is Amu's fourth Shugo Chara, with a musical flair. She became an X-Egg, and then hatched as an X-Character in Chapter 17, after being discovered by Utau. Shortly after this, the character that emerged Became Character with Utau, forming 'Dark Jewel', and made a reappearance in Chapter 25 in a fight against Amulet Devil. Her special move with Utau was 'Shining Black', in which a dark light attacks the opponent. This Become Character has a defect, however, as Utau is not Dia's true owner; the Become Character dissolves quickly after it forms.

As Amu does not know Dia's real name, and still does not, as of Chapter 26, she just calls her 'Dia', a shorter form of 'Diamond'.

Dia became an X-Egg because of the change in surroundings, like Kukai graduating and Nadeshiko studying abroad. Usually X-Eggs form because of 'problems in the owner's heart', which shows that Amu has changed throughout the series from her inapproachable self to someone who socializes easily.

In Chapter 25, Amu convinces Dia that she can change, and so the 'X-Mark' was lifted, sparking Become Character, and making both the lock and key react. At the beginning of Chapter 26, Amulet Diamond was formed. Amu wears a futuristic outfit, in the style of an idol with lots of pleats, and pigtails, with a white headband. The Humpty Lock shines yellow.

Dia's true form differs from her X-Form - her true self is portrayed as a rather giddy and excited character, much like an idol may appear, whereas her X-Self was often seen as inapproachable. Her outfit changes from a 60s style dress, to a two piece with white boots. Her hair, which was at first portrayed as a 60s-style ponytail, became pigtails - both hairstyles included incredibly long hair, much unlike Amu's other characters. She has red-hair and orange-eyes.

He is always trying to outshine Yoru. His bearing is that of typical "king's fashion", complete with crown and mantle. Kiseki also occasionally calls meetings that require all the Guardian Charas to gather. In volume one, Miki seems to have a crush on him, saying he is cool. Likes to give orders but does not like to obey. Suffers from pollen allergy like Tadase.

Kiseki can do Chara Change with Tadase. When this happens, Tadase gains a golden crown and king’s scepter. The only reason he usually character changes is to help Tadase become confident and if Tadase is called ‘prince’.
