* Hideki Motosuwa: Hideki Motosuwa is a 19-year-old (in the anime, 18) repeat student (ronin) attempting to get into university by studying at Seki cram school, which his parents have sent him to. They have also severed his allowance, which means he has to work at My Pleasure, an izakaya, to make ends meet. One night, while walking home from work, he found a persocom lying in a pile of garbage. He took her home, and upon activating her, found that the only word she could utter was "Chi". Because of this, he gave her the name "Chi" (in the anime, "Chii") and took her into his care, doing his best to protect and teach her.
* Chitose Hibiya: Chitose Hibiya is the landlady at the apartment where Hideki is staying - or at least that is her current job. She was formerly the wife of the creator of the Chobits. In the manga, her husband, Ichiro "Icchan" Mihara, used the technology from the Angelic Layer project to create the Chobits to be her children, because she was unable to have children of her own. She also authored "A City With No People" to help Chi find the Person Just for Her.
* Hiromu Shinbo: Hiromu Shinbo, also spelled "Shimbo", is Hideki's best friend and is also studying at Seki cram school. In the anime, Shinbo lives in the same apartment complex as Hideki and is his next-door neighbor. Shinbo is usually the first person Hideki turns to for help with persocoms. Shortly after beginning school he becomes involved with his teacher Takako Shimizu after finding her in a park late at night because she had been unwittingly locked out of her house by her husband, who was too busy with his persocom. He later elopes with her and convinces her to marry him.
* Sumomo: Sumomo is a mobile persocom - which is the persocom equivalent of a laptop computer. She is programmed to be cute and tends to be quite hyperactive, for example her morning 'wakie wakie exercises'. Shinbo was the original owner of Sumomo, but left her with Hideki after leaving with Takako. He later transfers Sumomo's registration to Hideki, giving him permanent ownership. At the beginning of the series, Shinbo uses Sumomo in an attempt to analyze Chi, and Sumomo is nearly broken in the process, requiring new main memory, and in the manga, a new video card as well. Once Kotoko joined Hideki, she quickly came to the conclusion that Sumomo was mad, with her nonsensical ways.
* Chi: Chi is a Chobit (an extremely advanced persocom that possesses a very powerful processor and highly developed programming) that Hideki found in a pile of trash on his way home one night. When she was first activated, Chi was unable to communicate properly, only being able to say "Chi", which causes Hideki to name her that. Chi remembers nothing of her past life or how to do the simplest of things, so Hideki takes it upon himself to teach her and take care of her.
* Minoru Kokubunji: Minoru is a wealthy twelve-year old genius, whose specialty is persocoms. In particular, he has built a custom persocom named Yuzuki, designed to look like his late sister, and has given her self-teaching software, meaning that she can learn things on her own instead of having to have programs loaded into her like most persocoms.
* Yuzuki: Yuzuki is a persocom created by Minoru Kokubunji roughly two years before the start of the series. Yuzuki was created to resemble, physically and mentally, Minoru's late sister, Kaede, who had died from an illness two years earlier. Yuzuki was programmed with all of the data that Minoru could remember about his sister; what she liked, what she disliked, her habits and behaviors—everything. However, Minoru still realizes that no matter how realistic she may be, she is still only a persocom that is following her programming. Yuzuki, despite not having the same processing capacity as a persocom like Chi, also seems to possess an awareness of her own limitations.
* Takako Shimizu: Takako Shimizu is Hideki and Shinbo's teacher at the Seki cram school. Like Yumi, Shimizu has had a negative experience with persocoms: her husband bought a persocom and eventually she became unimportant to him compared to the persocom. He spent more and more time with his persocom until he forgot about his wife completely, locking her out of the house one night because he was so enamored with it. Because of this, Shimizu was no longer able to trust human men. Later, Shimizu elopes with Shinbo. In the end, she returns to the cram school, married to Shinbo.
* Yumi Omura: Yumi Omura is a 17 year old girl who works at the Japanese pub [My Pleasure] alongside Hideki. In the anime, she is the daughter of the club's owner, but in the manga, she is just an employee. It is initially implied that Yumi was interested in a relationship with Hideki, but as the series progresses it is revealed that she initially approached him because he also worked at Club Pleasure, and that she thinks of him as a big brother. Throughout most of the series Yumi has an inferiority complex toward persocoms, and becomes upset at any mention of a human-sized persocom.
* Freya: Freya was the first Chobit, who was created before Elda by Hibiya's husband, Ichiro Mihara. Freya was created to be Hibiya's daughter, because she was unable to bear children of her own. Freya's development was kept secret from Hibiya; she did not know of Freya's existence until she was called down to the lab one day, without explanation. In front of her, suspended from a number of wires and cables, was a persocom. Upon awakening for the very first time, she was given the name Freya by Hibiya. Freya's first word was "Mama".
* Hiroyasu Ueda: Hiroyasu Ueda is the owner of Chiroru, a local bakery which Yumi (and in the manga, Hideki) once worked in and which Chi ends up working at. He is 38 years old, although he looks as though he is only in his mid-20's, at one point noting jokingly that he has a "baby face".
* Yoshiyuki Kojima: Known in online circles as "Dragonfly", Yoshiyuki Kojima is a man of few scruples and another custom persocom-builder. Unlike Minoru Kokubunji, he is more obsessed with persocoms and even kidnaps Chi at one point. He tries to hack into Chi, using all of his persocoms in a massive parallel processing network. During this time, he makes an ill-advised attempt to inappropriately touch Chi, and Freya takes over, restraining him with all of the cords attached to her. She then attacks him with a concussion blast, blowing out the windows in his house and knocking him unconscious. Afterwards, to make amends for his actions, he lends his help to solving the mystery of Chi and the Chobits.
* Kotoko: Kotoko is another laptop persocom, like Sumomo, but was custom-built by Yoshiyuki and has much higher specifications than Sumomo. Kotoko originally belonged to Yoshiyuki, but following the kidnapping of Chi, he is forced by Hideki and Shinbo to transfer ownership of Kotoko to Hideki so that her memories of Yoshiyuki kidnapping Chi cannot be erased.
* Zima: Zima is one of two government persocoms who are looking for Chi. They do not want her to execute her final program, which they believe would destroy the person-recognition abilities of every persocom on the planet. It is believed that the program will execute when Chi finds the person just for her. Zima, however, believes that this may not necessarily be true, and genuinely wants Chi to find happiness. He lies to Dita about Chi's whereabouts and stalls as long as possible before finally going to stop her. In the manga, Zima physically restrains Dita from attacking Chi. Zima is also the Japanese government's national data bank, and during the course of the series an attempt is made by Yuzuki to hack into him to gain information on Chi.
* Dita: Dita is the second of the two persocoms looking for Chi. Her role is to protect Zima both physically and as an anti-cracker, hacking into any persocom who tries to hack into Zima and shutting it down (which happens to Yuzuki during her attempt to hack Zima). Dita appears to love Zima, but tries to deny it, believing the persocoms cannot or should not experience such feelings. In the manga, when Zima asked, "Do you love me?", she replied, "We're persocoms! Be serious!"
