The Soul Eater manga and anime series features an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Atsushi Ōkubo. It is set in a fictional universe inhabited by various characters capable of using supernatural powers by channeling the wavelengths of their soul. Most of the characters in the series, including the main protagonists, are classified into two groups: humans who are born with the power to turn into weapons, called demon weapons, and the wielders of these weapons, called meisters. The main protagonists attend a school called Death Weapon Meister Academy—DWMA for short—located in the fictional Death City in Nevada, United States. DWMA is run by , the Grim Reaper, as a training facility for weapons and meisters to hone their powers, as well as an organization to preserve world order against anyone who threatens it, including witch, monster and evil demon god called kishin.

The main Soul Eater manga and its anime adaptation follow three meister/weapon partnerships— and her scythe ; and his shadow weapon ; and and his twin pistol, —who act as field agent for their school and reap the souls of evil humans to prevent them from turning into kishin. The spin-off prequel manga titled Soul Eater NOT!, also created by Ōkubo, follows the everyday lives of three other DWMA students—halberd and her two meister friends, and .

While creating Soul Eater, Atsushi Ōkubo was heavily influenced by the manga series Dr. Slump and wanted to create a story in which serious or intense action scenes would be defused or interrupted with comedic moments. The story element in which characters transform into weapons is an expansion on the idea of weapons being personified, which Ōkubo frequently saw in other fictional stories. Ōkubo decided to make the main protagonist of the series, , a female in response to other shōnen manga having male main characters, and paired her and the other main characters with those of the opposite sex to demonstrate an equal representation of gender. He also decided to use a scythe as Maka's weapon for its unique fighting style. He resisted drawing influence from other people for most of his characters, particularly the main protagonists, who he instead based on assets on his own personality—the arrogant is based on Ōkubo's narcissistic side, the neurotic based on his manic side, etc. However, he did base a few characters on people he was familiar with, such as , whose personality he based on his own father. He also designed supporting character to be black after noting a lack of African characters in other manga series. The names of several characters are based on the titles of other films as a form of tribute, such as being named after The Blair Witch Project and Kilik after Kirikou and the Sorceress.

is the main protagonist of Soul Eater. She is a young but dedicated student who takes after her mother, another prodigious meister. However, her relationship with her father is strained due to his constant flirtations with women, leading her parents to divorce. As such, Maka is obsessed with turning her weapon partner, Soul Eater, into a death scythe that will surpass her father. She collaborates well with Soul in battle, but is prone to nagging and violent outbursts whenever Soul does something foolish. When in danger, however, Maka does everything she can to keep Soul out of harm's way.
