Here's a partial list of the River City: Tokyo Rumble characters:
- KUNIO – Kunio seeks to take back Tokyo from the massive Lion Alliance gang. Kunio is a thug with a heart of gold who looks out for his pals and fights for justice.
- RIKI - A misunderstanding with Kunio roped Riki into the fray. Riki fights for justice, but when he gets really mad, he snaps and goes berserk.
- MISAKO - Misako frowns on delinquents, but makes an exception for Kunio.
- SHINJI – Shinji went to school with Riki and is older, so he expects to be respected. He demands respect from his lowerclassmen, with fists if necessary!
- MISUZU - Physically huge, Misuzu intimidates people and has a tough personality to match. Treat this delicate flower like a lady, or she'll introduce you to her fists!
- RANDY - Returning from River City Ransom, twins Randy and Andy make up the Double Dragons!
- SABU - Gunning for revenge against Kunio, who previously humiliated the Sanwa Gang. Fans of Renegade should remember this bad guy!
- TEX - Usually easygoing, until something gets him riled. Then he turns nasty! Watch out for his spin attack!
- TIGER CLAW - The younger of the Double Tigers wrestling brothers!
