Dr. Stone Characters

A teenage science prodigy with a special love of astronomy and space, who breaks free of the stone in April 5738 after counting the time for nearly 3,700 years. He sets out to rebuild civilisation from nothing and revive everyone, which puts him at odds with Tsukasa almost at once. He can be arrogant and ruthless in his methods, but at heart he is generous and never abandons his friends. He wears Einstein's E = mc² as his trademark, and he becomes chief of Ishigami Village after winning its Grand Bout almost by accident.

Senku's best friend, a big-hearted high-school student with enormous strength and almost limitless stamina. He breaks free about six months after Senku, having held on through the petrification by thinking of the girl he meant to confess to, Yuzuriha. He is a pacifist who has never thrown a punch and would rather take a beating than hurt anyone. With Yuzuriha he spies inside Tsukasa's camp, and he later leads the Kingdom of Science's farming.

A kind and patient classmate from the handicrafts club who wants to become a fashion designer. Tsukasa takes her hostage to force the revival formula out of Senku. While she and Taiju live among Tsukasa's followers, she secretly pieces together the statues he has smashed so that they can be revived one day. Her sewing and craftwork go on to clothe the Kingdom of Science.

Famous before the petrification as "the Strongest Primate High Schooler", a mixed martial artist strong enough to kill a lion with one punch. Senku revives him first, and he soon reveals that he wants a new world for the young, smashing the statues of adults he sees as corrupt. He builds the Empire of Might and fights Senku until a truce over his younger sister, Mirai, who had been brain-dead since a car accident. Speared by Hyoga while shielding her, he is frozen to await a cure, and later joins the Kingdom of Science.

The strongest warrior of Ishigami Village and the first villager Senku meets, after he frees her from under a fallen tree. She is Ruri's younger sister, and once fought in the village tournament just to stop Magma marrying Ruri and becoming chief. Fast, fearless and quick-tempered, she is often teased as a gorilla or a lioness, and her eyesight is extraordinary. She becomes one of Senku's staunchest allies.

Ishigami Village's self-styled sorcerer, who had been discovering chemistry on his own with the rocks he collected, hoping to cure Ruri. Senku makes him his apprentice, and he becomes his partner in almost every project and one of the Five Wise Generals. Curious, loud and brave, he defies Tsukasa when captured, and later comes up with inventions such as the metal detector by himself.

A small girl from Ishigami Village who wears a watermelon on her head because she is short-sighted, and who adores Senku for not judging her. Once he fits lenses to her helmet, she becomes the Kingdom of Science's scout, rolling up inside the melon to slip past enemies. She is braver than anyone expects: during Hyoga's raid she lures his soldiers away from the village. Her biggest moment comes late in the story.

A mentalist and magician whom Tsukasa revives to find out whether Senku is really dead. Gen decides science is the winning side, tells Tsukasa that Senku is dead in return for a bottle of cola, and becomes the Kingdom of Science's negotiator and one of its Five Wise Generals. He likes to look shallow and avoids hard work wherever he can, but the lies he tells are almost always for his friends.

The heir to the Nanami conglomerate, greedy, flamboyant and supremely confident, and also a superb sailor. Senku revives him to captain the Perseus; he demands the oil field as his fee and promptly reinvents money. His greed takes in everyone around him, and he becomes one of the Five Wise Generals and the Kingdom's pilot.

Senku's adoptive father, a former teacher who became a JAXA astronaut and was aboard the International Space Station when Earth turned to stone. He and the other five astronauts came back to Earth and settled on an island, and Ishigami Village traces its founding back to them. He wrote the Hundred Tales to pass on what people would need, with a message hidden for Senku, and spent the rest of his life panning rivers for platinum to leave him.

A tall spearman revived by Tsukasa, who leads the first raids on Ishigami Village with Homura. He is an elitist who believes only the exceptional deserve to live. After Mirai is revived he betrays Tsukasa, and Senku and Tsukasa have to fight him together. He is kept prisoner for a long time before becoming an ally.

Dr. Xeno, a former NASA scientist who, before the petrification, answered a young Senku's emails and helped him build his first rocket. He broke free in America, where he armed his colony with machine guns, planes and a Haber–Bosch plant and meant to rule the new world with an iron fist. A genius on Senku's level, he becomes first his rival and then, uneasily, his partner.
