Plot
The series features Mondo Ooya and his girlfriend Rokuna Hiiragi, whose father Professor Ichiroubei Hiiragi invented a way to travel to Mon World (Roku Mon Sekai: the Six Gate World), where all sorts of magical creatures live. Together, they try to find six monster items which, when combined, could connect the Six Gate World with planet Earth for the better of both worlds. Rockna and Mondo form the Mon Colle Knights, and when chanting a phrase they can merge into monsters and control them into battle as well as aid with spells. Almost every episode, they battle Professor Hiiragi's rival Prince Eccentro (Count Collection in the Japanese version) and his two female lackeys Gluko and Batch who are after the same thing as the Mon Colle Knights, except that they intend to use the items to dominate both worlds.Mon Colle Knights
-
- One of the main protagonists of the series. Mondo is an adventurous young boy who seeks to gather the Mon items to bring together his world and Mon world for peace and friendship. Even though he has an outgoing and determined nature, Mondo has a little problem: he always flirts with pretty girls (Beginner, Kahimi and Lailai are the most notable). Note that the first Kanji in Mondo's given name; "," is the same that is used in the Mon Colle Knights title, . He has devices which he use for his peace sign attack.

- One of the main protagonists of the series. Rockna is Mondo's genius friend, whose intentions match Mondo's. She has a special telepathic ability to communicate with monsters. Now her boyfriend Mondo likes drooling over her, but gets jealous if Mondo flirts with other girls causing Rockna to attack him. The first Kanji in Rockna's given name; "," is the same that is used in the Mon Colle Knights title, . She has a baton like devices which she use for her string or ribbon attack.

- Rockna's father and a rather eccentric sort of mad scientist. He discovered Mon World and wants the human world to know about it so he can win lots of awards.
/ Lovestar
-
- Lovestar is a Zeechi that Rockna adopted. A pale pink hamster like monster with a red star marked on her back. In the Japanese version, his species is called "Lovestar" because the sounds the creatures make resemble the word "love-love" and the pattern on their backs make a star. Also in the Japanese version, Lovestar is called "Jāne," because, when Rockna was trying to say goodbye ("Jā ne") to him, Lovestar thought she was calling him by name.

/ Prince Ludwig Von Monsterstein Eccentro-
- One of the principle antagonists of the series. Prince Eccentro a young effeminate aristocrat from Europe who wants to take over Mon World. He was trained by Tanaka when his father wanted him to be a bad guy. Not much a threat due to his eccentric behavior and hysterical persona at times. However, he is the inventor of the hypnotic Skeitso Beam (whether on his Flying Lion aircraft or Teddyarenaut) which he uses to bend monsters to his will. Because of that, he tends to have his evil moments, though he really isn't as evil as he brags himself to be. Everytime Prince Eccentro fails, Tanaka would punish him with back-breaking exercises related to the episode's content. His dream is apparently to become a world famous belly-dancer.

- A bear
/ Batch
-
- Eccentro's tomboyish lackey. She unfortunately gets punished by Tanaka as well (except in two episodes). She and Eccentro argue a lot but she always obeys him.
/ Gluko
-
- Eccentro's busty, yet air-headed and friendly lackey. She tends to be spared by Tanaka when it's time for punishment and has a creepy amount of luck. She never seems to get hurt while the rest of her team and the Mon Colle Knights usually does. An english ongoing joke in the series is that during Eccentro's launch sequence in each episode, she asks a very long and logic based question which ends with Eccentro and Batch becoming bored and saying "Never mind, Gluko." In the Japanese version, Gluko speaks in a very polite and respectful dialect, whether she's talking to her teammates or her enemies. Gluko also carries around a book detaling about Mon World and his creatures. In a later episode, Gluko ends up adopting a Forest Imp named Impy.
/ Tanaka
-
- A short old man who serves as Eccentro's mentor under the orders of Eccentro's father. He usually punishes Eccentro for his screw ups (and/or lack of manly attitude) with back-breaking exercises related to the episode's content. He tends to pop up anywhere.
/ Impy

(Leprechaun) who is Gluko's pet. Gluko first found him in the forest near where Vipress was imprisoned. Impy doesn't talk very much -- he usually only utters short, inquisitive questions (such as "What this?"), or repeats cheerfully what Gluko says. He has psychic powers that allow him to telekinetically move things around, which comes in handy for some of Eccentro's schemes. Impy also has a habit of fiddling with buttons on the Flying Lion aircraft and more often than not causing it to explode and send him and his allies blasting off. Despite his apparent carefree and dimwitted personality, Impy does care a lot for Gluko.
- A cheerful young Forest Imp
Supporting cast
/ Naomi Loon-
- Mondo and Rockna's teacher, a rather nice lady who has a short temper and terrible luck with love. There is a monster card featuring her that is in Prince Eccentro's possession.
- A young girl which the Mon Colle Knights often encounter at random, while she travels the world carrying impossible amounts of little monsters in her coat. She gave Lovestar to Rokuna.
/ Kahimi
-
- An elfElfAn elf is a being of Germanic mythology. The elves were originally thought of as a race of divine beings endowed with magical powers, which they use both for the benefit and the injury of mankind...
maiden with very long hair, whose beauty incites Rockna's jealousy whenever Mondo compliments Kahimi (though Rockna holds nothing against Kahimi herself). She becomes a good friend and ally of the Mon Colle Knights, especially with her ability to make plants grow and control over the winds of Mon World.
- An elf
-
- A cute but accident-prone girl with a large appetite who is learning to become a summoner. While powerful, her aim is terrible, so she tends to hurt her allies by accident. As a running gag she has a habit of summoning a giant meteor that always ends destroying something. She is a friend of Mondo and Rockna. Her grandfather, Expert, runs the summoning school she attends. In the Japanese version, Beginner refers to Mondo and Rockna collectively as "Roku-Mon-chan," much to their annoyance.
-
- A friend of Beginner's who goes to the same summoning school as her. Luke has a poorly-disguised crush on Beginner, and seems to like Rockna somewhat, too. Luke is a summoning prodigy and considers Mondo his biggest rival as a monster summoner and for Beginner's heart. Around Beginner, Luke becomes so nervous he can summon only purple sheep, not to be confused with his own sheep friend, Lambda. Beginner, for her part, is oblivious to Luke's crush on her. Luke acts rather stingy and aloof towards strangers and he tends to be a bit of a crybaby when things don't go his way -- such as when someone, usually Mondo, interacts with Beginner or Lambda -- but he shows himself to quite brave in the face of danger, and his summoning abilities make him handy to have around. Prince Eccentro once lied to Luke telling him that Mondo is not a very good person causing Luke to summon Basailosaurus to attack Mondo with. Luke learned the truth when Prince Eccentro took over Basailosaurus.
-
- A purple sheep who is a friend of Luke's.
/ Gabriolis
-
- A former Light Angel. During a great war between good and evil, he was wounded and left behind by his friend Lark. He felt betrayed and abandoned, and embraced the darkness that Redda offered him. He plagued the Mon Colle Knighs on different occasions involving attacking Dopplefanger and casting a spell on 3 of Mondo's cards (Forester the Forest Giant, Flying Stego, Scorch the Fire Monster) until Spectra appeared and reversed the spell. When he was weakened by Vipress's attack during his fight with Mondo and Water Dragon, it was later revealed by the Angel of all Oceans that Lark in fact took his place in battle and died (in the original, he went to divert an approaching enemy flock), after which Gabriolis realized his error and reverted back to good, though maintaining his dark appearance. He also helped Mondo and Rockna defeat Dread Dragon and destroyed Redda in the final episode.
-
- / Lucca
-
- He is a small demonic creature who is Gabriolis' friend and partner. On one occasion, he had possession of an item that had to be won over in a Mon World Baseball tournament.
-
- One of the principal antagonists of the series. Redda is a fallen angel like Gabriolis/Zaha, who wants to use the six items to summon Oroboros. He is a powerful wizard, but not the strongest, so he prefers to avoid battle when not having a good advantage. In the dub, he wants to create a world of nothingness. In the original, he wants to create a formless world where all souls are the same and neither good nor evil will exist. In the final battle, he is killed by Gabriolis.
- N-Nouncer
- A man with a circle that has the letter N on it. He serves as the announcer of any tournaments in Mon World.
/ Spectra Angel
-
- Gabriolis' sister (Lark's sister and Zaha's fiance in the Japanese version), a light angel who comes to Gabriolis in his darkest hour to show him what really happened in the past so he may find redemption. She reappeared when Redda was chasing after her near the Fire Angel's castle and was rescued by the Mon Colle Knights.
