Eng : Wolf's Rain takes place in a post-apocalyptic time when much of the world has been ecologically devastated in a form of fimbulwinter and most people live in poverty. A legend is told in the "Book of the Moon" that wolves are mystical beings who came to the world from a place called Rakuen (楽園? Paradise), at the dawn of time and will one day find a way to return to paradise. They must first seek out the Flower Maiden (花の少女 Hana no Shōjo?) (a being created from the essence of lunar flowers) to guide them to paradise. This legend is nearly forgotten because wolves were thought to have been hunted to extinction nearly two hundred years earlier. Some wolves, however, have found a way to survive by coexisting with humans and blending into society.
* Kiba (キバ, lit. "Fang"?) is a white wolf dedicated to finding the Lunar Flower and opening the way to Paradise. Kiba primarily acts on his instincts, which sometimes lead him to act rashly. Full of wolf pride, Kiba initially expresses disgust at wolves who use human disguises, but eventually realizes that it is necessary to survive.

* Tsume (ツメ, lit. "Claw"?) is a gray wolf with a scar across his chest. Rough and self-reliant, Tsume is portrayed as a strong fighter who keeps his true feelings to himself. He joins the others out of boredom and does not initially believe in Paradise. Though he frequently quarrels with Kiba over their journey, he eventually comes to believe as strongly as Kiba.

* Hige (ヒゲ, lit. "Whisker"?) is a tan wolf with a carefree attitude, who seems quite comfortable living in human societies. After meeting Kiba, he goes along with the idea of searching for Paradise without much argument, though he doesn't show the same passion as Kiba. Hige wears a collar around his neck that he doesn't remember how he got. He also has the strongest sense of smell in the group. Voiced by: Akio Suyama (Japanese), Joshua Seth (English)
* Toboe (トオボエ, Tōboe?, lit. "Howling") is a brown wolf and the youngest of the group. He is considered a cub by the others in the early part of the series. He was raised by an old woman who found him as a very small cub outside the city, and still wears the bracelets she gave him. Due to his raising, Toboe is friendly and protective towards most humans, though he will fight them to protect himself or another member of his pack.

* Cheza (チェザ, Cheza?) is also called the "Flower Maiden." The wolves need Cheza to find and open the gateway to Paradise. She was created via alchemy from a Lunar Flower. Originally asleep and under study in a lab in Freeze City, Cheza is eventually able to join the wolves, whom she loves. The spilling of a wolf's blood makes Cheza scream, and she has the ability to heal and put wolves into a restful sleep through her song and touch.

Русс : Краткое содержание:
«Когда придёт конец света, рай появится в этом мире... Только волки будут знать туда дорогу», - гласит древняя легенда. Очевидно, час для этого пророчества настанет, но только одна проблема: все эти звери истреблены ещё двести лет назад... или не все? Охотник по имени Куинт Яден не верит в их полное исчезновение, и его правоту подтверждает явление большого белого волка, бродящего по Северному городу, переживающему не лучшие времена. Теперь волки, прежде маскирующиеся под людей, выходят из тени, готовые отправиться в долгий путь к раю... если, конечно, Куинту Ядену не удастся их остановить.
