Yuki's ordinary diary becomes the , a diary capable of predicting future events happening around him from his point of view. While versatile in any situation, the diary does not state what happens to Yuki himself, and since it is written from his point of view, the entries may not always be accurate. Unlike most of the contestants, Yuki wishes for a simple, peaceful life. Because Deus considers him a personal favourite to win, he is mainly targeted by other Diary users. Knowing he is weak, cowardly and naïve, he quickly makes friends and allies. One of these is Yuno Gasai, an obsessive stalker who is madly in love with him and will kill to protect both of them. His goal is to not kill anyone; however this outlook has changed when his divorced parents are killed because of the game and Yuno convinces him that becoming the God of Space-Time can bring them back, becoming a ruthless and dishonest player. Eventually he learns of Yuno's true origins and intentions, finally stepping out of his role as a constant bystander to intervene in changing her future, including those of the other Diary owners that led terrible, unfortunate lives. When trapped by her in an illusionary utopia, he breaks free through his love and force of will to meet her again. A touched Yuno commits suicide to let him win the game.

Minene Uryū : Aru Akise : is the secondary male protagonist and the protagonist of the side-story manga, Future Diary: Paradox. One of Yuki's new friends at his new school, Aru is a genius with amazing investigation skills and wants to be a great detective. He becomes involved in the Diary Game to learn the mysteries surrounding it and protect Yuki. Aru has feelings for Yuki that are beyond that of friendship, which angers Yuno. As the games continue, Aru becomes suspicious of Yuno and tries to find out what secrets is she hiding from Yuki. He soon discovers Yuno's origins but also his own when he learns about his creation by Deus as an "observer" to keep on eye on the contestant. He receives the Detective Diary from the Eighth Diary user which can make predictions based on the predictions of the other diaries. It is nearly a perfect diary, except when accounting for Aru's feelings towards Yuki, meaning he can act against what would be a perfect outcome. It also cannot detect the difference between diaries from other universes, which Yuno exploits to defeat him. Despite losing to Yuno, he continues to help Yuki and gives him the clue on Yuno's identity before she decapitates him. In the Third World, Aru is seen alive and continues as Deus' observer, with Reisuke as his detective-in-training. Aru is the protagonist of Paradox, set in an alternate timeline after Murumuru accidentally kills Yuno and Yuki is mortally wounded by Takao Hiyama. Aru and Murumuru take their respective places as First and Second until Murumuru's alterations have been fixed. However, as the game progresses, Aru sees the horrors of it and decides to save everyone to stop the game. Altering the events of the incident with Tsubaki Kasugano, Aru is able to make allies with a majority of the diary owners. However, his attempt to stop Murumuru from erasing the timeline fails when he stumbles across Yuno and how she killed her Second World counterpart, before being cast back to the start of the survival game. He has many parallels with Bacchus, including being created from a god and gaining supernatural insight later in life. ==Diary Game contestants and judges==
