The Japanese manga series One-Punch Man contains a number of fictional characters created by One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. The series follows a superhero named Saitama and his disciple Genos who join the Hero Association so they can be recognized as such when they fight various monsters and supervillains. The Hero Association ranks all of its members by a Class and a ranking within that class. The following characters listed are ones noted by the author in the manga profiles, ones that were highlighted in the anime character list, and ones that recur over several story arcs.

Main characters

Saitama

The title protagonist, Saitama (サイタマ, 埼玉), is a bald-headed 25-year-old man who is bored of fighting because he is able to effortlessly defeat enemies with a single punch. He lives in an apartment in City Z. Three years prior to the start of the series, when he still had hair, Saitama was job hunting when he defeated the powerful supervillain Crablante that attempted to kill a child with a butt-chin. Saitama says he became a hero "for the fun of it". His abilities mainly consist of physical abilities magnified to an immeasurable degree: strength is the true power of Saitama, with speed, stamina, and durability being mere side-effects. He attributes this to a daily training regimen like 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, a 10 km run, eating healthy food, and abstaining from use of the air conditioner or heater in order to reinforce his mental fortitude. He also mentions training even when his body was wounded and made strange cracking sounds. Three years of this spartan training pushed Saitama to his limits, making him evidently unbeatable. Early in the series, he picks up a disciple and roommate, Genos.

Though he had broken all the physical records in the Hero entrance exam by huge margins, Saitama enters the Hero Association with a score of 71, giving him one of the lowest ranks in the Hero Association. This is due to his miserable performance on the mental exam. He soon goes up the ranks by performing many deeds, although many of his efforts are not recognized because of collateral damage or higher-tiered superheroes receiving more credit. These include defeating the raging ninja supervillain/assassin known as Speed-o'-Sound Sonic (who became his unlikely rival) and destroying a meteor similar to Chicxulub, each with a single punch. As of the current arc of the webcomic by ONE, he is A-Class rank 39. Regardless of his rank, he does not mind giving others the credit, as demonstrated in his actions following the fight against the Deep Sea King. In the Dark Matter Thieves' story arc, he is unfazed by the telekinesis of a powerful esper, further displaying his resistance. This arc was also one of the only times he has used his "serious punch", defeating the world-conquering leader of the aliens, Lord Boros. It was also revealed that Saitama's power can continue to grow limitless as demonstrated during his fight with Cosmic Garo, with the latter leaving him behind on the power scaling through every blows exchanged. Through various circumstances, he forms friendships with Mumen Rider, Bang, King, Genos, and Blizzard. His superhero name in the association is Bald Cape (ハゲマント, Hagemanto, Anime: Caped Baldy).

Saitama is voiced by Makoto Furukawa in the original Japanese version and by Max Mittelman in the English dub.

Genos

Genos (ジェノス, Jenosu) is a 19-year-old cyborg who becomes Saitama’s disciple after bearing witness to Saitama’s easy victory over Mosquito Girl. Four years prior to the start of the storyline, his family was killed by a rampaging cyborg known as Mad Cyborg. Genos was nearly killed in the attack and his body was destroyed, so to keep him alive, a scientist named Dr. Kuseno took Genos in and modified his body to make him a cyborg with destructive capabilities. Ever since, Genos has been obsessively searching for traces of Mad Cyborg, vying vengeance. Immediately prior to the main story, Dr. Kuseno argues that Genos should move on from his obsession with Mad Cyborg, but Genos remains steadfastly convinced that justice demands the destruction of the cyborg. His perfect score on the entrance exam for the Hero Association places him in the highest class, S-Class, far above Saitama's placement in C-Class, but he still considers Saitama to be his master and goes with him whenever he is not summoned to other missions. Saitama often has to save him, as Genos's headstrong personality causes him to jump into action without thinking. He lives with Saitama after offering a sizable down payment for his share of the rent. His superhero name in the Hero Association is Demon Cyborg (鬼サイボーグ, Oni Saibōgu)

Genos is voiced by Kaito Ishikawa in the original Japanese version and by Zach Aguilar in the English dub.

Hero Association

The Hero Association (ヒーロー協会, Hīrō Kyōkai) is a superhero organization founded by the multi-millionaire Agoni in order to fight monsters, criminals, and various threats. It uses a Hero Registry to indicate which characters are recognized as professional heroes, with anyone who is not registered to be considered "a pervy freak who spouts irresponsible nonsense." Agoni created the association after his grandson was saved from the monster Crablante by an unknown bystander (who turns out to be Saitama). It is also financed by donations from citizens. The association is made up of four tiers from the lowest C-Class to the highest S-Class. The heroes within each class are ranked numerically, with the first ranked hero of each class being eligible to advance to the next tier if they so desire. The new heroes must take an exam in which 50% is a physical test, and the other 50% is a written exam and an essay. A passing grade would be 70% or higher and directly placed in a class from 70% being barely C-class to 100% being eligible for S-Class. They are then placed at the lowest ranking for that tier. Heroes can ascend or descend in their rankings depending on their deeds.

S-Class Heroes

S-Class is the highest hero rank in the Hero Association. Those who have gotten a perfect score on the entrance exam, as well as the top candidate from A-Class, are eligible to enter this class. Besides Genos, the S-Class heroes in the series are, in rank order:

Blast

Blast (ブラスト, Burasuto) is the top superhero in the Hero Association who can also use a teleportation suit. His whereabouts are currently unknown and it is said to make himself known when a threat to humanity arises. He is revealed to be part of a group of universal guardians who had for years been hunting down a series of mysterious God cubes which scattered across the universe including planet Earth, in order to prevent people from coming into contact with the cubes and becoming Mysterious Beings. Among the members Blast team-up with resembles one of Saitama's past foes, such as Boros and Beast King. The reason behind this ongoing hunt for the cubes is because of the betrayal of his partner, a would be ninja village founder at Saitama's world, Empty Void. Terrible Tornado and Sitch were some of the first people to know who he is and what he looks like. Blast once fought Centichoro, a powerful, giant centipede, and brought it to the brink of death. He fought his former partner Empty Void and rendered him comatose 15 years ago and, also, massacred most students who already being influenced by their masters in self-defense. He also saved Amai Mask and became his idol. He first met his fellow member and a would be brother in-law, Void when one of his disciple turned into a monster by the God's cube. After falling in love with Void's sister, Selenia Luna, Blast and Luna got married and gave a birth of a son named Blue. Suddenly, Luna died in a certain incident, and Void becomes a monster, leaving a widowed Blast raised Blue alone prior both father and son begun to have strain relationships at some point.

During the Hero Association's assault on the Monster Association's headquarters in the present, Blast finally appears to take one of God's cubes which Saitama found at a collapsing underground location where Saitama is trapped alongside Flashy Flash and a one-eyed female monster named Manako. Blast helps the two heroes and the small monster out of the rubble. When God attempts to corrupt Tornado by mimicking Blast's appearance, Tornado is able to resist it as the real Blast is nearby, which causes God to retreat. Because his mission hunting the cubes is very important, Blast had been rarely available during the Hero Association's tasks.

After Garo's redemption on the same day of the beginning of Neo Heroes' rises, he and Sitch are working to revert surviving monsterized humans back to normals while explaining to Saitama and his allies about his ongoing hunts for the cubes, starting from his former partner. Following reunion with his fallen friend, Void he soon realize that Void really cared for his late Luna and accuses Blast for not saving her.

His son, Blue also becomes a co-founder of Neo Heroes and wants to surpass his father.

Terrible Tornado (恐ろしい竜巻, Osoroshī Tatsumaki), at rank 2, is the top female superhero. She is a petite 28-year-old woman with emerald green hair that curls at the ends, whose youthful appearance and short stature leads others to confuse her for a lost little girl. As an esper, she can perform psychic maneuvers such as telekinesis and levitation. She has a younger sister named Fubuki. In the battle with the Dark Matter Thieves, she easily turns a multitude of shells shot from a large alien ship back onto itself, dealing tremendous damage. Other espers are generally dwarfed by her overpowering telekinesis, and she has an extremely short temper, often lashing out at people. Blast is the only individual who Tatsumaki sees in high regard and she awaits his return. She owed Blast for saving her life and renewed her motivation to protect her only family, Blizzard.

Inspired by his brother's fighting style, Bang abandoned the forbidden style and invented "Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock" (流水砕岩の拳, Ryūsui Saigan no Ken) with a similar caliber as the style Bomb uses, and joins Hero Association in the present prior to Saitama's registration to the organization. Thanks to Bomb, Bang becomes wise and displays a great deal of patience when compared to others in S-Class, and often scolds other heroes for being haughty or selfish, just as he was back in his youth. His sole student is Charanko, as he had a former disciple named Garo who beat down his other students including Sourface until they quit, and Bang was too late to stop Garo from learning his former fighting style. The incident of Garo walking a similar path as Bang had is a painful memory for the latter, and as a result, he constantly looks for new disciples to pass his martial arts on to, as Charanko is fairly incompetent. He is one of the first heroes to recognize Saitama's true power, witnessing him destroying a meteor that would otherwise destroy Z-City. After Future Garo sends Future Saitama to stop the former's past-self and successfully redeems him, Bang reconciles with his former student, and helps his rehabilitation while retiring from the association, at the same time that his dojo is also re-opened once again.
