Ryō Hibiki (響 リョウ, Hibiki Ryō)

Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto

The protagonist of the series. He is 16 years old, born on September 22, 2013. He is 177 cm tall, weighs 65 kg, and was born in Chiba. He is a passionate man with a strong sense of justice and loves motorcycles. He participated in the Borgman Project dreaming of becoming an astronaut, but the project was aborted when he was attacked by a demon, so he has been working as an apprentice Japanese language teacher at the CySonic Academy since then.

When fighting as Borgman, he wears a blue Baltector for speed and close combat and his weapon is a Battle Machine Gun. His artificial intelligence and self-aware motorcycle Road/Super Thunder is his exclusive machine and partner, and is his last resort special weapon.

In Borgman: The Last Battle, the de facto conclusion of the series, which was later released as an OVA, he went to the U.S. to fulfill his dream and became a staff member of NASA.

Chuck Sweager (チャック・スェーガー, Chakku Swēgā)

Voiced by: Kazuhiko Inoue, Shinya Ōtaki (episodes 24-26)

He is 17 years old, born in the U.S. on October 20, 2012. He is 185 cm tall and weighs 80 kg. His family consists of his parents and younger sister. He is a physical education teacher at CySonic Academy. Although he is often seen by others as a smug lady-killer, like Ryō, he also has a strong sense of justice and is a sincere and good-natured young man. He and Ryō have been best friends since they were trainees, and they are highly capable as a team. He possesses superhuman strength that does not match his slender frame, but he has a weakness: he hates natto.

When fighting as Borgman, he wears a green Baltector for wide-area attacks. His weapon of choice is a Battle Launcher. In his early years, he used to ride a modified buggy, but in his later years, he switches to a combat vehicle, Beaglehead, and also falls in love with Miki of Phantom Swat (see below).

In The Last Battle, he and Miki work for the Megalo City Police Department, where they investigate a number of mysterious incidents. In the sequel OVA Sonic Soldier Borgman II: New Century 2058, he is the director of the Katsura Research Institute, where he commands the second generation of Borgman who fight the revived demons.

Anise Pharm ((Anice Farm), アニス・ファーム, Anisu Fāmu)

Voiced by: Yoshino Takamori

She is 16 years old, born in the U.S. on February 5, 2014. She is 164 cm tall and weighs 47 kg. Her family consists of her parents and her brother Anton, who lives in Los Angeles. She is the lone woman of the Borgman trio and loves children. She is also the daughter of a major restaurant chain, but unlike Ryō and Chuck, she came to Japan as an aspiring singer and encountered a demon attack while touring the space block, and when she was mortally wounded, the Borgman system was urgently installed in her by Memory, saving her life (the Borgman system incorporated into her was not originally intended for her exclusive use, but was a miraculous match). As a result, her power is inferior to that of Ryō and Chuck. She is usually a music and math teacher at CySonic Academy.

When fighting as Borgman, she wears a red Baltector for electronic warfare. Her weapon of choice is a Battle Saucer. She often pilots Gun Warrior, a combat robot, to compensate for her lack of power, and either rides with the other two mechs or borrows Chuck's buggy for transportation.

In The Last Battle, she accompanies Ryō to the U.S., where she runs a cafe stand near the space center where he works, but a minor fight causes her to "run away" to Megalo City herself.

Voiced by: Masako Katsuki

She is 22 years old, born on November 19, 2007. She is the central figure in the Borgman Project and a female scientific genius. Her family consists of her parents back home and her older brother. She lost her younger brother Reminisce in an accident during an experiment.

She commands and supports Borgman in the state-of-the-art base she had built underground at the CySonic Academy in preparation for the battle against demons.

In the end, however, he was moved by Memory's determination, and in episode 4, he was fatally wounded defending her and the children of the school from the attack of Dust Gead, who directly attacked the CySonic Academy, and entrusted her with the data for the Sonic System as he drew his last breath.

An evil organization that worships the Demon King and seeks to rule the real world with the power of demons. It is composed of former human cadres enchanted by demons and demon warriors under their command. It has no particular army of low-ranking soldiers like combatants, and each operation is carried out by one of the cadres and the demons under their command.
