Protagonists
Naoto Azuma
Naoto Azuma (東ナオト, Azuma Naoto) / Tiger Mask (タイガーマスク, Taigā Masuku) is the main protagonist of the series. Born in 1995, then 21 years old during the series, Naoto formerly trained at the Zipangu Pro-Wrestling team, until rival team GWM (Global Wrestling Monopoly) destroyed the training gym. Angry, he decides to fight against the Tiger's Den group which is affiliated with GWM. He initially allies himself with the NJPW wrestlers, who eventually help them develop his signature technique, Tiger Drive. After losing during the War Games and watching Tiger the Dark being unmasked by The Third, he realizes his hated rival was in fact his friend Takuma. Naoto shares his identity with him and the two friends reconcile. Now even hungrier for revenge, Naoto desperately seeks a match with The Third, with Miss X binding Naoto to a contract to get him his match, in exchange of betraying the NJPW, which makes him sink to commit fouls and lose his reputation. Tiger Mask is however cruelly utilized as a sacrificial pawn for GWM's schemes, while leaving him with eroded trust by his NJPW peers. He eventually regains their trust after saving Nagata and reforms their alliance against the GWM. He's currently trying to develop a new killer move. He is the new bearer of the Tiger Mask persona (sharing a name with original Tiger Mask, Naoto Date). He is voiced by Taku Yashiro.
Takuma Fujii
Takuma Fujii (藤井タクマ, Fujii Takuma) / Tiger the Dark (タイガー・ザ・ダーク, Taigā Za Dāku) is the second protagonist of the series. Born in 1995, then also 21 years old during the series, Takuma is friends with Naoto. He is also affiliated with Zipangu Pro-Wrestling, his father worked at the gym and was injured during its destruction. Because of this he also yearns to defeat the Tiger's Den and GWM and begins to train to become a professional wrestler, taking the persona "Tiger the Dark." He plans to join the Tiger's Den to destroy them from the inside. He eventually got his chance at revenge during his title match against The Third, discovering he was his target all along. While Takuma almost managed to defeat The Third, the injuries inflicted by Naoto take their toll and sucumbs to The Third's Sacrifice, leaving him crippled. After being unmasked by The Third, Tiger Mask shares his identity with him and the two friends reconcile. Currently he is undergoing rehabilitation with Ruriko's help in order to return to wrestling and he is now training with Naoto again. He is basically this anime's version of the Black Tiger who has always been a rival of the Tiger Mask character. He is voiced by Yuichiro Umehara.

He dresses with a Hyottoko mask and common clothes, giving him a ridiculous appearance. Fukuwara Mask's focus is in providing laughs and serving as a comic-relief by deliberately acting like a fool in his matches, which the audience enjoys. Contrary to his buffoonery however, he's in fact a fairly competent fighter who can give even Tiger Mask a tough fight if he ever decides to fight seriously. He does at times provide commentary and shows to have extensive knowledge of wrestling techniques and is able to provide accurate information.

Now he is GWM heavyweight world champion and the rightful successor of Tiger's Den serving as the leader of its Four Heavenly Kings (also called 4 Tigers). He's strong enough to easily overpower a malfunctioning Blackout on his own, despite taking the joint-effort of Takuma, Kevin and Odin to even damage him. He was formerly trained by Fukuwara Mask, with each discovering the identity of the other during the War Games. As a result both use similar techniques as well. As Yellow Devil his specialties were the Devil's Tornado, a hand slash that uses body rotation and the Devil's Crush, a vicious piledriver performed from the ring's corner, this technique was used to cripple Daisuke.
