Ninja Gum Kids
The Ninja Gum Kids are the main protagonists of the series. They are a group of 9 young rookie ninjas who are descendants of the lost ninja clans. Led by Reiana, they are extraordinary ninjas who chew Ninja-Gum to not only muster their strength, but also create powerful weapons to use (even though they often shout the phrase "Weapons ready" before they make their weapons). They also sing the series' opening theme, "Kickin' the Rules".
 * Reiana Smiley – The leader of the Ninja Gum Kids. She has a positive attitude and is a friendly girl with a strong sense of self, even if she can lose her temper and take things too seriously sometimes. Despite this, she never overestimates her own abilities or resorts to aggression, making her an influential leader. She is the only live-action character in the series, and she prefers the blue Ippon Katana as her primary weapon.
 * Van (voiced by Peter von Gomm) –A cheerful boy whose mother lives outside of Eagle City. After his parents were separated, his father's home was destroyed in a fire.Van became a Ninja Gum Kid when he discovered his father and he were descended from a ninja clan. He is an outgoing, upbeat individual, and his friends call him a natural talent. He mainly uses the SK8 Hammer.
 * Berecca (voiced by Kate Higgins) – A girl who followed her father's example and undertook scientific research. When she was working at the WNA Research Institute with Burton, she was rejuvenated after eating prototype ninja gum. She thus became a Ninja Gum Kid. Berecca cares for her friends and is unsure at first about being a child.Her personality is more relaxed, gracious, and indulgent, which differs from her personality in the animated CG short. She mainly uses the Ippon Katana.
 * Ron (voiced by Phil LaMarr) – A former WNA Research Institute researcher who created ninja gum. Ron speaks more frequently than he does in the game, but he is still very secretive. He was also a WNA intelligence officer, who was granted a top-secret order and went undercover to test the ninja gum research. After eating ninja gum rejuvenates him, he became a Ninja Gum Kid. He has a sharp mind, mostly devising strategies for the team to follow while in combat. He mainly uses the Ninja Yo-Yo.
 * Lucy (voiced by Erica Mendez) –A young girl who has concealed her talent in the ninja arts after locking herself away from the world for weeks due to a trauma. Upon her mother's request that she join the World Ninja Association Training School, she was thrust back into society and into her ninja kinship. Lucy's time in training school made her realize who she truly is once again, and she has taken steps to break out of her shell, and she often plays as a bit of a wild card. Initially, she appeared to be the most cheery and lively of the Ninja Gum Kids. After her supposed friends abandoned and betrayed her, she developed a chaotic, explosive, and bitter side of herself, which only comes out when she's pushed too far.
