Umineko has 28 that appeared so far... not including Anju or the new "Johny Depp" guy.
And on the Higurashi wiki page I counted 28... but I'm pretty sure that there are still a few missing characters... like Nomura...
They're both pretty close, I guess it's just the different setting and story that makes it seem like Umineko has more. I think Umineko has more MAJOR characters than Higurashi did but it seems to have less minor characters.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though. D=
