Brief Notes

 * Please spare some of your time reading this notes first, as it'll help you to understand the whole table below.


 * Bolded names with references are confirmed as official and all known sources are added as references (reference list below the table).
 * Official sources are English forms that are provided within the anime (e.g. HP bars, friend list, Kayaba's log out list, Monument of Life etc.) or given in English somewhere in the novel.
 * Italicized names are semi-official (sourced from official (Crunchy Roll version) anime subs, web novel, web novel illustrations etc.).
 * I do not regard anime subs as reliable, since they have been wrong several times.
 * Non-bolded or Italicized are names that aren't sourced at all and are just a version that the BT translators have chosen to use at some point until an official one is known.
 * LN translations are NOT official, unless the English form was given in the raw. This includes translated illustrations (e.g. ALO map).
 * Romaji forms are the romanized pronunciation forms of the kanji or katakana forms. They are usually not the official spelling of the names, aside from a few exceptions, like Kirito or Asuna.
 * The Japanese pronounce "L" as "R" or "Ru".
 * All names on the wiki follow the novel's naming standards. This means that we do not westernize Japanese names (we use Yuuki Asuna, not Asuna Yuuki), while non-Japanese characters (including native UW residents) follow the western naming convention of Given name Family name (e.g. Alice Schuberg, not Schuberg Alice).
 * For those who not aware, here's the list of some common abbreviation used:
 * SAO = Sword Art Online. Mainly about the story in Aincrad Arc.
 * ALO = Alfheim Online. Mainly about the story in Fairy Dance Arc.
 * GGO = Gun Gale Online. Mainly about the story in Phantom Bullet Arc.
 * PA = Project Alicization. Mainly about the story in Alicization Arc.
 * For those who have any details hidden within this page, it means that the information is containing some spoilers. Do not open the hidden details if you do not wish to be spoiled.
 * For the "Kanji" rows, although the header name is "Kanji", it may consist Katakana or Hiragana, as Katakana and Hiragana is also part of Japanese Kanji.
 * Characters included in this list is only those who have avatars or having differences between the "used" naming and their actual romanization. For location and guilds, all known location and guilds will be included.
