This is a list of characters from Jigoku Sensei Nūbē. It can be divided into several groups, each distinct from the others. The first group comprises the staff of Dōmori Elementary, consisting of teachers and other adults (mostly) who assist in the education and welfare of the students. It includes Nūbē, his "perverted obsession" Ritsuko Takahashi, other teachers, and the principal. The second group is the student body, with each student bringing a unique personality and set of experiences to their education, along with encounters with the supernatural. Most characters are students in Nūbē's class 5–3, but students in the fifth grade and other grades (such as Hiroshi's soccer teammates and Makoto's "girlfriend," Ai Shinozaki) are also included. The third group comprises the various yōkai encountered by Nūbē and the citizens of Dōmori. Many of these spirits appear only once, while some make cameo appearances later when various spirits reappear, to the advantage or disadvantage of Nūbē and others. Some, like the yōko Tamamo and the yuki onna Yukime, become intertwined in the events of Dōmori, either assisting or tormenting Nūbē as they see fit. The last group of characters consists of humans who do not quite fit into any of the other categories but are connected to the affairs of Nūbē or his students. This includes exorcists such as "itako girl" Izuna Hazuki, the crooked Buddhist priest Oshō, and even the parents of the 5 3 students.

The main characters are a group of fifth grade teachers at Doumori Elementary.

The administrative head of the elementary school, the principal diligently strives to maintain order and efficiency despite the numerous bizarre spiritual occurrences happening under his jurisdiction. Whether or not he was aware of Nūbē's dual roles as an exorcist and a teacher when he joined the school, he quickly recognizes it as a valuable asset to his staff and the overall well being of the institution.

Not much is known about this flat topped, glasses wearing administrator, aside from his role as an associate working alongside the principal to manage Doumori Elementary. He is often seen in the background with his boss and the other teachers and staff of the school.

One of the newer teachers at Doumori Elementary, Mami Kuroi (Kuroi Mami, 黒井 まみ), heads the first grade class of 1–3. However, unlike Nūbē's exorcisms, her interests and studies lie in the occult and witchcraft. She pursued her studies in a German university and across Europe to enhance her knowledge and skills in such areas. Despite her youthful appearance, she is actually 28 years old, several years older than the more experienced Nūbē. Nūbē disapproves of her obsession with the dark arts and often reprimands her for practicing them. The fact that her 1st grade classroom is located two floors below his 5th grade class occasionally exposes him to the influence of her magic unknowingly, until he intervenes to stop her antics. Some of her various magical skills include casting curses, summoning creatures, performing transformations, creating voodoo dolls, and even flying on her own little broomstick, not to mention wearing a flat top hat that transforms into a witch's hat whenever she performs her magic. Upon her arrival at the school, Kuroi sensei becomes infatuated with her male colleague and decides to use her magic to try and win him over, even going as far as sealing his Oni no Te inside a cute handmade glove. However, after repeatedly being scolded by Nūbē, and possibly observing the romantic pursuits of both Ritsuko sensei and Yukime, she resorts to summoning her own demonic love slave in the form of the "Western Devil" Beelzebub.

A quiet and studious member of class 5–3, Ayumi Kinoshita (Kinoshita Ayumi 木下あゆみ) possesses a unique spiritual ability that has enabled her to overcome her physical limitations. Originally bedridden due to illness, Ayumi was taught the "youshin jutsu" by Nūbē while she was still in college. This ability allows her to separate her spiritual body from her physical one, granting her the appearance of mobility and allowing her to attend school like any other student. Despite her condition, Ayumi joined Nūbē's class when she reached 5th grade. However, her youshin abilities are not fully developed, as they dissolve when she comes into contact with water. Ayumi's favorite pastime is reading, and she often immerses herself in books during class or leisure time, paying little attention to the activities of her classmates. Although she typically uses her youshin abilities to lead a normal school life, Ayumi can also utilize them to alter her physical form or clothing for various purposes. Additionally, she may harbor a small crush on Kaneda, possibly influenced by her newfound interest in literature, and he may be one of the few individuals, aside from Nūbē, who knows about her true nature.

The Oni within Nūbē are extremely powerful demon creatures that originate from the depths of hell to wreak havoc and destruction upon our world. Unlike many depictions of oni in popular Japanese culture, these oni are a hybrid combination of the classic horned loincloth wearing beings and Western devilish beasts, possessing claws, horns, immense strength, and demonic powers. All of the oni, particularly the Oni no Te and its connections, originate from an eight tiered hell, where various devils and demonic beings become more powerful the deeper one goes. The demon trio originates from the 6th tier of this hell, known as Shonetsu (焦熱, which translates to "scorching heat", but in the combination 焦熱地獄, shonetsu jigoku, can signify Inferno or Burning Hell). Each oni has ascended through the upper levels of hell until finding a passage into the human world, near a spinning sphere in the playground of Doumori Elementary.

The first and perhaps most powerful of the oni encountered is the being residing within Nūbē's left hand since the beginning of the series. Sealed under a black glove, this entity is unleashed whenever the teacher requires it, granting him access to a greater extent of his spiritual power through this demonic limb. Initially appearing under Nūbē's control, the Oni gradually starts asserting its own autonomy and unleashing its tremendous full power. Despite Nūbē's skills as an exorcist, he cannot control the oni on his own, risking being controlled and devoured by it. The key to this control lies within the oni itself, housing the spirit of his former teacher, Minako sensei, who sacrificed herself tragically to save her former student. She utilizes her spiritual power to restrain the Oni, enabling Nūbē to harness its power without being consumed. As she is crucial for keeping the beast at bay, Nūbē constantly seeks a dual solution: to finally control the Oni and free his former teacher from her imprisonment within the creature that has become his left hand. Later in the series, it is revealed that he is the eldest (and least intelligent) brother of a trio of oni siblings, still exceptionally powerful when left to his own devices. By the end of the series, he undergoes a transformation, embracing goodness after experiencing numerous positive deeds.

Minki (眠鬼) is the youngest but equally destructive—and annoying—female sibling of the oni family. Though she possesses power and abilities similar to her older brothers Baki and Zekki, the source of her (and possibly all the oni's) power lies in a pair of panties she wears. (According to legend, most of an oni's spiritual power comes from their underwear or loincloth) When she accidentally loses her panties in the human world, she is forced to cross over to get them back, even if it means making Class 5 3 nude in the process. Although she manages to retrieve them (they were being worn by the perverted Ishikawa sensei), Nūbē confiscates them and, in a peculiar move, enrolls the Oni girl in his class. He believes that beyond her panty powers, Minki is a quiet, nice girl who needs to learn a few things. Initially seeming strange, Minki eventually reveals a protective, kinder side, even defending her classmates like Nūbē does. However, upon retrieving her panties, Minki regains her full, demonic power and attitude, confronting her teacher and displaying particular animosity towards the male students. At the climax of her rampage, just as she prepares to destroy her teacher and the school, her panties fall off once again, causing her to abandon her attack and nearly destroying herself in the process. Despite this, Nūbē saves her, believing her to be different from the other Oni, and offers her a second chance in the human world. After nearly destroying the school and Nūbē, Minki becomes a valuable student and a key ally in his battle to protect his students and fight against intruding enemies and yōkai. Although she doesn't possess all of her Oni power as she did with her panties, she still has enough to occasionally play naughty tricks on her friends and classmates. While she slowly seems to accept them as friends, she struggles due to her own circumstances. Additionally, she assists her teacher in a valuable way: when he faces enemies that force the Oni no Te away from him, Minki can fuse with Nūbē, allowing him to utilize her Oni power. A significant difference between her and Baki's arrangement is that the teacher can use a fuller extent of Minki's power because theirs is a conscious partnership. Beyond battles, Minki views Nūbē not only as her teacher but also as her "big brother," as her 'real' big brother is sealed in his hand. This leads to some rather awkward situations regarding the meaning of being a human sibling versus being an Oni sibling. As a final note, Minki is the only member of the Oni siblings who does not have a full demonic form. Although she can exhibit an Oni appearance, such as her scantily clad appearance and demonic hands and feet, this form appears more human than either Zekki or Baki. This difference could possibly show an influence from the American comic series Witchblade. Just as peculiarly, two horn like protrusions that allow for the formation of her long pigtails remain visible in both her "human" and "Oni" forms.

Long known as prominent yōkai, the kitsune are a group of animal spirits typically associated with foxes. While any fox can be considered a kitsune, there are special foxes known as yōko, some of the most spiritually powerful beings in existence. Yōko possess various abilities, including the creation and manipulation of illusions and fire, as well as the use of a special "transformation jutsu" to blend in with humans, often causing chaos and mischief. Additionally, kitsune and yōko are linked with inari, playing an integral role in local harvest festivals in Japan.

Tsuwabukimaru( 石蕗丸) emerges when Tamamo falls seriously ill, reminding him of the imperative to master his "transformation jutsu" to avoid being reduced to ashes. He is a young kitsune who deeply admires Tamamo and is determined to prevent his demise. Lacking an understanding of Tamamo's evolving relationship with humans, Tsuwabukimaru initially seeks Hiroshi's skull and is only dissuaded at the last moment by Tamamo himself. He holds Nūbē responsible for Tamamo's decline into weakness and eventual deterioration, although he ultimately agrees to guide the teacher to the Nine Tailed Kitsune. Tsuwabukimaru adopts the attire and demeanor of a ninja, wielding two sharp blades affixed to his arms and moving with remarkable agility. Despite his masculine name, there are implications that the skull he uses to assume human form may belong to a female, as Nūbē teases Tamamo upon his arrival. While he possesses a straightforward and determined personality, Tsuwabukimaru also exhibits a degree of naivety and airheadedness.

In the northern Tohoku region of Japan, a myriad of yōkai is intertwined with the local elemental essences of rock, wind, snow, and ice. Overseeing these yōkai is a potent mountain deity whose spiritual decree reigns supreme, compelling obedience under the threat of dire consequences. Possessing a detached demeanor akin to the chilling winds of their domain, these beings lead an emotionless existence, merely coexisting with humanity while whimsically determining their fates. However, the relationship between these mountain yōkai and humans would be challenged by a yuki onna and the man she loves

While numerous yōkai make appearances in Nūbē, either as threats or aids to the class and the citizens of Doumori, some have multiple appearances and maintain a consistent connection with the series' characters.

Zashiki Warashi (座敷わらし) is a small, childlike yōkai known for bringing good luck to anyone in its vicinity. Merely being near it grants a bit of luck, but befriending it can result in extended periods of good fortune. Usually, it cannot be seen by ordinary people. Nūbē first encounters this yōkai after experiencing a particularly lucky streak at a pachinko parlor (though it's unclear if the yōkai caused his good fortune; it's suggested he may have been using his powers to win). After feeding it some senbei, it follows him back to school, where it brings good fortune to the students in his class one after another (even Hiroshi manages to score an 80 on his test, which is remarkable given his lack of academic prowess). Nūbē tries to convince the yōkai that they don't need its help, scaring it away, but it returns to save Hiroshi from a potentially fatal accident. In another incident, Zashiki Warashi demonstrates the power to reverse fortunes, causing the yuki onna Yukime to experience a series of disasters, the most notable of which is witnessing a date between Nūbē and Ritsuko sensei. Zashiki Warashi's last major appearance revealed that there was more to the yōkai than originally suggested. She was revealed to be the spirit of a poor young girl who had lived fifty years ago. Despite having little herself, the girl cared deeply for others and often helped them. She eventually fell ill with pneumonia and, even on her deathbed, wished for the health and happiness of those around her rather than for herself. In gratitude for all she had done, Nūbē and his class held a party to thank Zashiki Warashi and even arranged for her to see her mother one more time. However, Zashiki Warashi's work is never done.

The Kuchisake onna (口裂け女) is a legendary yōkai with mysterious origins, even within the world of Nūbē. According to some legends, she is the result of a gruesome dental surgery performed 80 years ago, leaving her with a gaping mouth and jagged teeth. She roams various towns wearing bandages to conceal her mouth, asking children if she is pretty before revealing her terrifying visage and frightening them away. However, in reality, the Kuchisake onna is the product of animal possession, stemming from an encounter with the vengeful spirit of an inugami, which bestowed upon her its demonic mouth. When the students of Nūbē's class encounter a Kuchisake onna after hearing the legend, they attempt to defend themselves using pomade to repel her. However, the teacher intervenes, using the Oni no Te to dispel the spirit and unveil the beautiful woman hidden beneath the monstrous facade. This particular Kuchisake onna, later identified as Honomi, is revealed to be the youngest of three Kuchisake sisters, who reside together and occasionally find themselves in trouble due to their notoriety and association with the legends surrounding their mouths.

The kudagitsune (くだ狐) are small, elongated animal yōkai native to the Tohoku region, often dwelling in tubes, and commonly associated with itako spiritualists like local spiritualist Izuna Hazuki. Invisible to average humans, they perform various tasks for their controllers, including gathering information, facilitating communication, and even entering human bodies to retrieve thoughts. While typically loyal to their birth or raising masters, they can be influenced by beings of greater power, such as Tamamo, who can control them due to their simpler nature compared to his. In Nūbē's world, most kudagitsune belong to Izuna, serving as both helpers and servants. Housed in her apartment in various shapes and sizes, they assist her with chores and upkeep until needed for other tasks. Izuna stores her duty bound kudagitsune in small lipstick vials, releasing them as required. Nūbē himself also employs a kudagitsune named Baco, created when the energies of a kudagitsune combined with those of the Oni no Te, resulting in a demonic looking yōkai that aids the teacher when not residing in a pen. Villainous Priest Kanran is another user, keeping several kudagitsune, including his most powerful one, in his left eye socket. The most legendary kudagitsune in the series is Gedo, a massive yet somewhat dim witted being with immense power potential. Born once every 300 years within a Tohoku mountain, Gedo holds the ability to unlock the "True Treasure" of one's greatest desire. Unexpectedly coming into Izuna's possession, she must protect Gedo from the nefarious Kanran, who seeks the treasure Gedo may unveil.

Although it initially appears as a small white fuzzball, Kesaran Pasaran (ケサランパサラン) is an immensely useful and lucky yōkai for anyone who encounters it. Its origin is unknown, though one legend suggests it may be a gift from angels. Kesaran Pasaran is renowned for bringing good luck and happiness to those who encounter it. Intriguingly, the number of fuzzballs can multiply rapidly if kept near face powder for a period: the more Kesaran Pasaran, the greater the good luck. The yōkai is first encountered by Miki during a Christmas party. She initially uses its luck abilities and multiplication trick to fulfill her desires but ultimately ends up saving her friends and bringing joy to the entire town in the process. Later, Kesaran Pasaran is revealed to be the "yōkai of ultimate good," rescuing both Dōmori and, ultimately, the world from the unleashed power of the ultimate evil yōkai: Yamato no Orochi.
