Nin (人) is the counter that is used for people. People can't be counted with general counters, they require the proper counter.
1 person = hitori (一人)
2 people = futari (二人)
3 people = sannin (三人)
4 people = yonin (四人)
5 people = gonin (五人)
6 people = rokunin (六人)
7 people = shichinin (七人)
8 people = hachinin (八人)
9 people = kyuunin (九人)
10 people = juunin (十人)
The formal way to count people is useing the counter mei (名).
