This is a list of characters for the manga series Dr. Stone.
Main characters
Senku Ishigami
is a teenage prodigy who excels in multiple fields of science, with a special love of astronomy and space exploration. After awakening in the "Stone World", he sets out to restore civilization by reinventing their lost technology and discovering a "cure" for the petrification. Though somewhat arrogant, he is actually very noble and kind-hearted as he considers science as a means to elevate all people and has unshakable faith in his friends. After faking his death to keep Tsukasa from hunting him, Senku befriends the residents of Ishigami Village and becomes their chief, finding out that he is a legend in the village's community at the same time thanks to the influence through one of the villagers' ancestors, who happens to be Senku's late adoptive father Byakuya, one of the original petrification survivors. Following Hyoga's defeat and Tsukasa entering cryosleep, Senku was able to get the remnants of the Empire of Might to merge with the Kingdom of Science where he leads the Five Wise Generals. He has Albert Einstein's formula (E = mc2) as his trademark.
Taiju Oki
is Senku's best friend, whom Senku refers to as a "big oaf" or "musclehead". He has incredible strength and seemingly limitless stamina but is a pacifist who's never thrown a punch in his life, preferring to turn the other cheek instead to prevent any assailants from hurting his friends. He is in love with Yuzuriha and will do anything to take care of her, especially when she's in danger. After Senku fakes his death to keep Tsukasa from hunting them, Taiju and Yuzuriha infiltrate the Tsukasa Empire to keep tabs on Tsukasa before rejoining Senku in Ishigami Village. As a member of the Power Team, Taiju leads its farming division while assisted by Yō and Magma.
Yuzuriha Ogawa
is Taiju's love interest, a cheerful and kindhearted young woman. She enrolled in her high school's handicrafts club to pursue her goal of becoming a fashion designer and is exceptionally talented at arts like stitching and clothwork. During the "Vs. Tsukasa" arc, Yuzuriha is taken captive by Tsukasa. Senku has her and Taiju join the Tsukasa Empire as part of his plan. During the "Age of Exploration" arc, Yuzuriha started a clothing store while becoming a member of the Craftsmanship and Development Team. She and Taiju got married at the end of the series.
Tsukasa Shishio
is a youth who rose to fame in mixed martial arts as "The Strongest Primate High Schooler", being physically powerful enough to kill a lion with one punch. He wears a red ghi and is always barefoot. After being reawakened by Senku to save him and Taiju from a lion pack, Tsukasa wears the pelt of the male lion he killed while hunting for Senku and Taiju. He resents adults due to his experience with one who prevented him from gathering seashells for his ill sister Mirai, viewing the current adults as avaricious corruption while seeking to create a new society in the "Stone World" by only reviving young people. Tsukasa serves as the primary antagonist of the early story arcs, appearing to kill Senku when he refuses to back down from restoring their civilization before proceeding to establish his Empire of Might. Through the revived Gen to confirm Senku's death, Tsukasa remained in the dark about his opposition's survival until he learned it from Hyoga. During the "Communications" arc, Tsukasa accepted a truce with Senku in exchange for the revival of his sister, after which Hyoga betrayed him. After Hyoga is defeated, the critical injuries Tsukasa suffered from the fight force him to be placed in cryosleep with his remaining forces absorbed into the Kingdom of Science. However, he does get to see Mirai get restored to good health beforehand. When Tsukasa is revived, he sides with Senku even after his sister is restored. He accompanied Senku on his trip to the United States of America while still striving for a morally pure world where the innocent will not be exploited.
Gen Asagiri
is another person from the "old world", Gen is a silver-tongued self-help guru who styles himself as a mentalist. Gen wears an overcoat over his yakuta and is always barefoot except in the winter. He was revived by Tsukasa who wanted an ally who could think like Senku and confirm his death. But being self-serving, Gen ends up defecting to the Kingdom of Science after witnessing Senku's accomplishments. When the Kingdom of Science and the remnants of the Empire of Might merge following the defeat of Hyoga and Tsukasa entering cryosleep, Gen becomes one of the Five Wise Generals.
