• Sora Amamiya as the female lead, Elizabeth, is the princess who embarks on a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins to save her kingdom. Her soft-spoken character is brought to life beautifully by Sora.
• Tatsuhisa Suzuki provides the voice for Ban, the seemingly rough and powerful member of the group with a heart of gold. He portrays the character's strength and underlying gentleness expertly.
