List of 7 Seeds characters

The 7 Seeds manga series created by Yumi Tamura features a varied cast of diverse characters, each in different teams. There is no set main character. Instead, the story switches perspectives between each teams and different characters.

Every member of a team has a name containing a kigo, a poetic seasonal word, related to the team name — for example, all of the members of the Spring team have names traditionally associated with spring. Each team consists of seven members plus a guide trained in wilderness survival.

There are currently five teams living in the world of 7 Seeds. Summer Team B, Spring Team, Winter Team, and Fall Team were placed in cryogenics around the same time. Summer Team A was placed 17 years before them, while Mozu was frozen a few years after Team A. Every team resurfaced at different times. The five teams are listed in order of appearance in the series, which is different from the order in which they were revived from cryonic preservation in the series' chronology.

Summer Team B is created after the other four Japanese teams as a backup and consists of people who are healthy but rebellious or otherwise not well-adjusted to society. They emerge from cryonic preservation at the start of the series near an island in the East China Sea off the coast of Nagasaki Prefecture in western Kyūshū, and travel to the seed cache at the foot of Bungo Fuji in Ōita Prefecture.

The Spring Team emerges from cryonic preservation a few months after Summer Team B near an island off the coast of the Kantō region of central Honshu, and travel to Ogino Fuji in Kanagawa Prefecture, where they find a note from Natsu of Summer Team B. Later, Hana invites Takahiro, the surviving member of Winter Team, to join the Spring Team.

The Winter Team emerges from cryonic preservation in the Pacific Ocean off the southern coast of Hokkaidō about fifteen years before the start of the series. Three members die during the thawing process; on the way to the cache at Mt. Meakandake, they are attacked by a saber toothed tiger, killing their guide and Mutsuki. The remaining three, Mitsuru, Fubuki, and Takahiro, form a close relationship as they fight for survival.

The Fall Team emerges from cryonic preservation about three years before the start of the series in the Sea of Japan off the coast of the Kansai region of western Honshu, and travel to Kobe Fuji in Hyogo Prefecture. They are led by Akio and Ran, who overthrew the Team guide Ryoya and keep the rest of the members enslaved with tasks such as raising corn, tending livestock and weaving fabric. Months after they meet Arashi, Natsu, and Semimaru from Summer Team B, the sky starts to rain ashes, which makes their hideout, field and everything they have built useless and unlivable. The Fall Team sets out to visit other Fuji and to find a safe place to live in.

The members of Summer Team A were specially chosen for the Seven Seeds Project by the Japanese government. This project genetically engineered and conceived about 100 babies, born from carefully selected egg cells and sperms. Because of this, none of the members of Summer Team A have a family name. These babies are raised on an island and taught wilderness survival until they reach the age of 17. At that time, a last test is carried out to select the seven that are put in cryonic preservation.
