Chrome Dokuro (クローム 髑髏 Kurōmu Dokuro ), originally named Nagi (凪 ), is a 13-year-old Japanese girl who wears a Kokuyo school uniform. Mukuro Rokudo uses her as a vessel after he saved her life by creating illusionary organs for her when she lost her right eye and some of her organs in an accident. Chrome has been shown using two of Mukuro's six skills: creating illusions and summoning beasts that kill the enemy.[25] The Japanese rōmaji of her name, Kurōmu Dokuro, is an anagram of Mukuro Rokudō.Chrome is the named holder of the Mist Ring, and thus battles Mammon in the Vongola Tournament. When she is overwhelmed by Mammon's powers, Mukuro takes control and defeats him.[27] After being transferred into the future, her physical condition takes a turn for the worse as several of her internal organs begin to fail. However, under Adult Hibari's instructions, she uses the power of her Vongola Ring to sustain her organs via her own illusions, thus avoiding any immediate danger.[28][29] Afterwards she is given the Mist Vongola Box Weapon, the Demon Spade Evil Lens, which allows her to see through enemy illusions.

The Varia
Millefiore Family
Shimon Family
The Shimon Family is a Mafia group that has been allies with the Vongola since before Giotto, but had grown weak over the years. Seven of its members transfer into Namimori Middle School in order to attend Tsuna's inheritance ceremony. These members are Shitt P., Suzuki Adelheid, Kaoru Mizuno, Rōji Ōyama, Koyo Aoba, Julie Katō, and the tenth Shimon boss, Enma Kozato. Their true motive is to take revenge on the Vongola, who supposedly betrayed the Shimon Family during the first generations' time. Their power comes from the Shimon rings, which are fully activated by Vongola's Sin, a vial which is said to contain the blood of the first Shimon boss. Their rings use flames of the Earth as opposed to Vongola's flames of the sky. In the chapter titled "Overpowered", the Shimon destroyed 5 of the 7 Vongola Rings: Tsuna's, Ryohei's, Hibari's, Chrome's, and Gokudera's. Lambo was hiding in fear, and Yamamoto was in the hospital in Namimori.Other characters
Vongola Family
The Vongola Family (ボンゴレファミリー Bongore Famirī ) has long since been the most powerful Mafia family in all of Italy since its creation 400 years prior to the start of the series. They are considered to have a violent and bloody history,[36] and have had several other Mafia families and organizations serving them, including a few members from the infamous Arcobaleno.[8] Giotto a.k.a. Vongola I (Primo) is the founder of the Vongola Family. He was known to have had an unorthodox family; that is, he accepted anyone he liked, including kings, military men, rival Mafia members, and even religious people.[37] The organization has also been on the receiving end of secret black ops military technology, which has bolstered their strength over the years.[38] Those who inherit the Vongola bloodline have certain unique traits; some traits are consistent, with every Vongola in each generation possessing it like heightened intuition,[39] while sometimes it would skip either one or possibly even several generations. They also possess the Vongola Rings, seven invaluable rings which have been around since the founding of the Mafia underworld and are usually in possession of the main members known as the Vongola Guardians.[40] They are also rich in various traditions,[41][42] most notably the Vongola Tournament, a traditional battle in which two groups vie for the seven guardian positions.[43]Timoteo
Timoteo (ボンゴレ ) a.k.a. Vongola Nono (ボンゴレIX代目(ノーノ) Bongore Nono ) is the current head of the Vongola crime family. He uses a scepter as his primary weapon.[44] It is implied that he is becoming too weak to lead the family, and thus accepted Iemitsu's son, Tsuna, as the next head of the Vongola Family. However, Xanxus, his adopted son, deemed himself more worthy to become the next boss, so he kidnapped and replaced IX with a fake, who sanctioned the traditional Vongola Tournament. The real IX was placed within Gola Moska, gradually draining him of his life energy, though he is later saved by Tsuna. He appears in Tsuna's vision during the future story arc,[45] leading Tsuna to believe that he may be dead in the future.[34]Giotto
Giotto (ヂオト ) is a direct ancestor of Tsuna and the first Vongola boss, having the title of Vongola Primo (ヴォンゴレI世(プリーモ) vongore Purimo ). He appears various times during the Vongola's fight against the Millefiore, helping Tsuna to increase his powers upon recognizing him as the Vongola's 10th boss. His guardians; Alaude, Knuckle, G, Ugetsu Asari, Lampo, and Daemon Spade, all bare similar traits to Tsuna's guardians. In the anime, he is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa.
Giannini
Giannini is part of a family who has provided weapons' tuners for the Vongola for many years, but his own "modifications" actually make all the weapons far less useful.[46] He travels inside a round mechanical machine, but does not seem to do so anymore in the future, a time where his skills have greatly improved.[47]Talbot
Talbot is a mysterious old man working under the Vongola family. Noone knows just how old he is, but he is rumored to have served under Giotto. When the Vongola Rings are destroyed by the Shimon family, Talbot rebuilds them using the blood of Giotto, fusing them with the animal rings. Combined with the resolve of the Vongola family, they become the Version X Vongola Rings.[48]Arcobaleno
The Arcobaleno (which means "rainbow" in Italian) is the group of the seven strongest infants, who each possesses a pacifier colored as one of the colors of the rainbow,[49] with each color corresponding with their Dying Will Flame. Their pacifiers will glow when a member nears another Arcobaleno.[50] They were all transformed from adults into their current forms,[51] having sacrificed themselves in order to protect the ultimate power "7³" (Tri-Ni-Sette). Each of them gained their own "curse" and specific abilities, and are able to emit the Dying Will Flame throughout their entire body.[52]Colonnello, the holder of the Blue pacifier, is revealed to have not been part of the original seven, and had instead taken Lal Mirch's place during the day they were transformed.[51] In volume seven, the holder of the Green pacifier, Verde (ヴェルデ Verude ), tries to get Tsuna assassinated, but his henchmen fail to do so.[53] He is also known to be one of the developers of the special boxes.[54] The holder of the Orange pacifier was Uni's grandmother, Luce (ルーチェ Rūche ), who then passed it on to Aria, Uni's mother, and the holder of the Red pacifier is I-Pin's master, Fon (風 Fong). They all died in the future, but are revived thanks to Uni's sacrifice.
Reborn
Reborn (リボーン Ribōn ) is the holder of the Yellow pacifier of the Sun. The titular character, Reborn is an infant hitman belonging to the Vongola Family. As the Vongola IX's most trusted member, he becomes Tsuna's home tutor and trains him into becoming a Mafia boss.[8] Since he is an official Vongola member and is only there to train Tsuna, he is not allowed to directly interfere with most of Tsuna's battles,[55] though he is allowed to defend against attacks directed solely at him.[56] His "partner" is a shape-shifting chameleon named Leon (レオン Reon ), who usually sits on Reborn's fedora. The bullets used by Reborn are created inside Leon. When Reborn's student is gradually progressing, Leon's tail falls off, his shape-shifting abilities become unstable, and he is no longer able to create bullets.[57] After Leon creates special items for the student, he returns to normal.[58]No matter how strong the emotion, Reborn always keeps a straight face and handles many situations as calmly as possible.[59] Reborn often says "Ciaossu" (a mix of the Italian "ciao" and the Japanese "ossu", which is a casual male greeting). He randomly appears dressed as "another person" who no one except Tsuna recognizes, and seems to see nothing unusual in any of his own behavior.[60][61]
In the future, Reborn is mentioned to be dead, and in order to avoid the Negative Seven Rays which Byakuran unleashed in the atmosphere in order to slowly kill the Arcobaleno,[51] the past's Reborn remains in Tsuna's underground base and wears a special suit.[62] He is normally voiced by Neeko in the anime but in his short appearances as an adult, Ken Narita voices him.[63][64]
Colonnello
Colonnello (コロネロ Koronero ) is the holder of the Blue pacifier of the Rain. Though he is not part of the original seven Arcobaleno, he attained the blue pacifier after attempting to take Lal's place on the day that they were all turned into babies.[52] He is in charge of the training ground behind Mafia Land and was a former member of the COMSUBIN, thus he is not averse to using heavy artillery, using an anti-tank rifle as his primary weapon. His animal partner is a hawk that usually rests atop his head and it can help him fly to distant places. Colonnello also acts like a rival towards Reborn and vice-versa, but despite this, he shares many traits with Reborn, like being a merciless tutor, suddenly taking naps, and having a sharp tongue.[49][50] He trains Ryohei in preparation for the Vongola Tournament, and in the future, he is said to have died trying to protect Viper.[51] He is voiced by Daisuke Nakamura in the anime.[65]Skull
Skull (スカル Skaru ) is the holder of the Purple pacifier of the Cloud. Head of the combat forces of the Calcassa Family, Skull wears a full leather outfit and a motorcycle helmet, which is copied by all his subordinates. His pet is a giant armored octopus whose tentacles follow his hand and finger movements. He is implied to be not as powerful of an infant as Reborn and Colonnello, whom he calls his senpais, and is looked down upon and ridiculed by the two. Reborn considers Skull as always being someone's errand boy and Skull, to his dismay, does not deny the fact that the only person he was an errand boy to was Reborn.[49] He is said to have died in the future. He is voiced by Tetsuya Yanagihara in the anime.[66]Viper
Viper (バイパー Baipā ) is the holder of the Indigo pacifier of the Mist. He is a member of the elite assassination team, the Varia, under the name Mammon (マーモン Māmon ). Known as the Arcobaleno's best spellcaster,[25] Viper has the ability to cast illusions, as well as being able to locate any person by sneezing into a piece of paper (he carries a roll of paper with him); the spit or mucus that sticks to the paper shows a map leading to the desired person.[15] He also has a black frog named Fantasma that lies on top of his head. By turning into a yellow salamander and biting its tail (Similar to the oroborus a symbol of alchemy and magic), which forms into a "halo" above him, Fantasma can give Mammon the ability to fly in combat.[67] He claims to have been trying to break the Arcobaleno curse, and had sealed his pacifier so that other Arcobaleno cannot sense him.[25] He has also created a chain that conceals the power of the Arcobaleno pacifiers, as well as the Ring Flames . During the Vongola Tournament, he defeats Chrome,[25] however, he is defeated by Mukuro once the latter takes possession of Chrome's body.[27] He is said to be dead in the future, with Ginger Bread claiming that he took his own life after feeling there was no other way out.[68] He is voiced by Rumi Shishido in the anime.[69]Lal Mirch
Lal Mirch (ラル・ミルチ Raru Miruchi ) is the holder of a corrupted pacifier. She is a female member of the Arcobaleno who states that she cannot live up to the Arcobaleno name, considering herself to be one of its weakest members.[70] This is due to her curse being incomplete after Colonnello, her former subordinate in the COMSUBIN,[71] attempted to take her place. Her incomplete transformation clouded her pacifier, and caused her original rain energy to change into both the mist and cloud energies, as well as causing the scars on her face. Also, if she does not use her Arcobaleno powers, her curse would gradually disappear, which is why she eventually becomes an adult again.[51] However, upon using her Arcobaleno powers in the future, her pacifier glows blue, and she states that her pacifier was supposed to be the blue pacifier that Colonnello attained.[52] She is also part of the Vongola's CEDEF, or Outside Advisors.[72] According to Reborn, she shows her emotions easily and is very readable.[47] She is voiced by Masami Suzuki in the anime.[73]CEDEF
Members of the Consulenza Esterna Della Famiglia (Italian for "External Advisors of the Family") are unofficial members of the Vongola Family. They hold a very important position in the family's structure, in that, during times of crisis, the CEDEF leader becomes the family's second-in-command. They also have as much voting power as the Vongola boss when choosing the family's next boss, and if the two disagree on who the heir will be, the CEDEF leader has the power to split the Vongola Rings.[43]Iemitsu Sawada
Iemitsu Sawada (沢田 家光 Sawada Iemitsu ) is Tsuna's often absent father, who has supposedly been working abroad at oil fields for the past two years.[74] Tsuna believes him to be a loser father who has nothing to do with the Mafia, but Iemitsu is actually the "Outside Advisor", which is the second highest position in the Vongola Family, and is known as the Vongola's "Young Lion". After the fake Vongola IX chose Xanxus as his successor, Iemitsu, who wants Tsuna to become the next boss, protested and refused to give Xanxus the Vongola Rings, traveling around the world while he waited for the IX's reply. He returns to Japan with the real halves of the Vongola Rings, as well as a message from the IX sanctioning the Vongola Tournament.[43] He secretly watches over the training of Tsuna and his family,[75] and during the tournament, Iemitsu goes to Italy with his subordinates, and finds out that the IX that has been giving orders was a fake.[76] Iemitsu usually carries a pickaxe. He is voiced by Masami Iwasaki in the anime.[77]Basil
Basilicum, commonly known as simply "Basil" (バジル Bajiru ), is Iemitsu's young disciple and subordinate. He possesses the blue, rain attribute flame, and has the ability to go into Dying Will Mode when he consumes special pills made by Iemitsu.[78] Due to being strictly trained since early childhood, he is a very talented fighter. Unbeknownst to Basil, in order for Iemitsu to safely deliver the real halves of the Vongola rings to Japan, he was sent to deliver the fake Vongola Rings to Tsuna. During this, he encounters Superbi Squalo, and is subsequently beat. Despite being used as a decoy, he remains extremely loyal to Iemitsu,[79] and helps train Tsuna in order to help the latter control the Dying Will Flame.[78] The CEDEF later sends him into the future as support for the Vongola, and his box weapon is shown to release a dolphin, which he can telepathically communicate with. Basil also has a habit of speaking in an archaic manner; usually replacing 'I', 'me', and 'my', with 'thou', 'thee', and 'thy', and refers to Tsuna and the guardians with the suffix '-dono'. This unusual habit sometimes interferes in his way of modern speech. He is voiced by Yuka Terasaki in the anime.[80]Cervello
The Cervello (チェルベッロ Cheruberro ) is an organization whose representatives consist of masked women who all seem to look exactly the same and whose names are not known. When one member is beaten or killed, another member can immediately take their place. The organization also appears to possess illusionists.[81] They are proclaimed as the judges for the Vongola Tournament under the (fake) IX's direct orders.[82] In the future, they are working with or in conjunction with Shoichi Irie, and appear to be part of the Millefiore Family's White Spell squad.[83] During the Six Funeral Wreaths's battle against Tsuna's group, the Cervello are appointed as the judges.[edit] Foundation
The Foundation is an organization created by Kyoya Hibari in order to gather information on the "ultimate power".[54] Its members are former members of Namimori High's Disciplinary Committee,[84] most notably Tetsuya Kusakabe (草壁 哲矢 Kusakabe Tetsuya ), Hibari's subordinate and second-in-command, who always wears his hair in a pompadour.[29] Kusakabe is voiced by Takagi Shun in the anime.Others

When she takes the Dying Will Shot, her form is more quiet and polite.[85] Though she is not fully aware of how much Tsuna likes her, she thinks of him as a good friend.

Before, she was in love in her ex-boyfriend named Romeo, who looks very similar to Adult Lambo. Whenever Adult Lambo appears, Bianchi uses her Poison Cooking to destroy him therefore mistaking him for Romeo.

He is both a skilled doctor, albeit one that refuses to treat men, and a renowned assassin known as "Trident Shamal" who was even asked to join the Varia. His primary means of combat stem from the 666 pills he carries that contain trident mosquitoes, his own breed of genetically-altered mosquitoes named for their trident-shaped stingers that infect his enemies with deadly diseases. He claims to be infected with 666 diseases that have no effect on him due to the negating effects of each disease; if he has a disease that rapidly decreases body temperature, then he has another one that increases it, and so on.[102] Shamal also happens to be the one that introduced Hayato Gokudera to bombs when he used to work for Gokudera's family.

Her most destructive ability is the "Pinzu-Time Bomb", activated whenever I-Pin expresses extreme shyness. Pin-numbers (such as those used in mahjong) appear on her forehead, counting down until it turns her into a human bomb that can create a small crater with its destruction.[105] Due to her near-sightedness, she sees Lambo as the broccoli monster, and often beats him up.[106] She also has a crush on Kyoya Hibari, who bears a striking resemblance to her master, and often activates her Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion after seeing him.[107] She is voiced by Li-Mei Chiang in the anime.[103]Dino

Reborn's chameleon Leon created his main weapons, a whip and Enzo,[58] which is a turtle which grows in size and rampages when soaked in water. Like Tsuna, Dino, at first, was a klutz who did not want anything to do with the Mafia, but he became a suitable Mafia boss after Reborn became his home tutor. He came to be known as "Bucking-Horse Dino" (跳ね馬ディーノ Haneuma Dīno ) ("Bronco Dino" in Viz's translation) and fixed the Chiavorone's financial problems, turning them into the third most influential family. Dino, however, is so devoted to his family, that when none of his family members are around, his skills decrease dramatically, often accidentally hitting people with his whip and falling down the stairs.[108] Dino becomes Hibari's home tutor before the Vongola Tournament, and travels with him around the country in order to train him.[109] In the future, he advises Tsuna and the others on how to control their box weapons, and is shown to release a horse from his own box. He is first voiced by Kenta Kamakari, and then replaced by Kenn for episodes 34 onward.[110][111] FutaFuta (フゥ太 Fūta ) is a young boy who ranks people by their abilities in a book half his own height. He has an extremely wide range of knowledge on thousands of people and is considered to be a valuable informant for the Mafia, sometimes being paid insane amounts of money for a copy of certain rankings, but due to this, he is often chased by the Mafia. When he ranks people, gravity around him becomes distorted, making objects around him float, and images of stars and galaxies appear in his eyes. It is unknown how he actually gathers his information, some rumours say he talks to a ranking planet, and his rankings do become skewed when it rains.[112] He also has to be looking at the person to determine their rankings. He calls Tsuna his big brother, and starts living in his house.[113]
