This is a list of characters in the Splatoon manga.

Some of the characters' current English names are from fan translations. The official English translations from VIZ Media are used when available.

Team Blue


A group of low-level, described to be idiotic Inklings who are the main protagonists of the manga. They use a blue ink color. This team consists of four members:
 * Goggles, a Rank C- male Inkling who wears the Pilot Goggles, Armor Jacket Replica and Hero Runner Replicas. He takes on shooter weapons, having a Tentatek Splattershot set. He is the mascot of the manga.
 * Goggles is silly, immature, and quite naïve. It is even mentioned in issue 4 that Goggles mixes up toothpaste and wasabi. He tends to mostly ignore anyone else except for Bobble Hat, showing that she and Goggles have a special bond.
 * He often can be found pantsing other male Inklings, mainly Rider, and often gets naked in public.
 * A topic about Goggles from the squid profiles in the manga reads: "He can't hear his alarm clock very well, so he always leaves his house tired and disorientated. He also has a bad sleeping posture." This might mean that Goggles cannot hear well, which is why he sometimes ignores people.
 * Another topic states the lunch he brings to practice is usually pickled plums made by his grandmother.
 * He is shown to be the strongest member of the Team Blue, being able to carry Bike Helmet and Stripe from the Team Dark Green.
 * In the first issue, he wore the Pilot Goggles, Zink Layered LS, and Purple Hi-Horses; and used the Splattershot.
 * In one of the chapters, his Armor Jacket Replica rips, so he goes to the store to buy new clothes. One of the outfits included a Power Mask, Black LS and Red Sea Slugs, but he got caught stealing the Power Mask from another customer. Luckily, he did not get arrested. He switched back to Pilot Goggles for the next three outfits:
 * The Octoling Armor and Octoling Boots
 * The Carnivore Tee and Oyster Clogs
 * The Squid-Pattern Waistcoat and Clownfish Basics
 * The girls rejected all three of these.
 * His favorite food is Onigiri - Japanese rice balls, despite being known to eat pickled plums frequently.
 * In Chapters 8 and 9, he is assigned as Agent 3 and wears the default Agent 3 set, wielding the Hero Shot Replica, plus the Pilot Goggles for the secondary headgear.
 * In the Splatoon 2 manga, he wears the Eggplant Mountain Coat and drawstring cargo pants along with his Pilot Goggles and Hero Runner Replicas since his clothes burned up upon Super Jumping to his team from the top of Deca Tower and crashing into the Crust Bucket. He now uses the Splattershot.
 * In the Splatoon 3 manga, he wears the Tri-Squid Tee instead of the Eggplant Mountain Coat due to the coat being damaged on the way to the Splatlands through a truck (in an attempt to Super Jump to his team despite being near enough already) while passed out to the point he dried up. The Tri-Squid Tee's right side is covered with a tied black bandana for Goggles' wound to recover. His main weapon is still the Splattershot, but he switches the specific Splattershot from the one in Splatoon 2 to the one in Splatoon 3.
 * When all of Team Blue get their new gear, Goggles now wears the Lime Ski Jacket and keeps his Pilot Goggles, and Hero Runner Replicas. He also goes back to wearing the classic shorts.

 * In the first issue, she wore the Bobble Hat, Green Zip Hoodie, and Cream Hi-Tops; and used the Splat Roller.

Shadows
Shadows are copies of Inklings (and assumedly Octolings, though there are no confirmed Shadow Octolings) that are made of energy. They appear from the monitors of Deca Tower in Inkopolis Square, and describe themselves as "radio wave energy amplified by the passion of battles". Though they all are virtually identical from their original Inkling counterparts, there are numerous differences, including:


 * Having a permanent dark-gray ink color
 * Having a lightning-shaped marking on their forehead (except for Shadow Mask, whose lightning marking is on the forehead of the mask)
 * Being monochrome except for the lightning-shaped marking and their eye color (both of which are a light yellow color)
 * Having a personality opposite to that of their original counterpart
 * Ability to use radio waves to cause the legs of Inklings to tingle, causing them to be unable to move their legs (this ability is barely shown in the manga and may only affect those who lose against their respective Shadows in battle)
 * Ability to spectate matches from inside the Deca Tower (Team Shadow Blue is seen watching the Team Blue vs. Gloves match on the Reef in a flashback)
 * Inability to stay outside of the Deca Tower for prolonged periods of time due to running out of energy, they seem to recharge energy via allowing normal Inklings to battle

Apart from these differences, the Shadows and original Inkling counterparts are exactly the same, including skill-wise, with both having the same abilities.
