History Characters / HiganbanaNoSakuYoruNi

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:

* HotTeacher: Well he is a CompleteMonster but a {{Bishonen}} nonetheless.
* IgnoredEpiphany: There are numerous points in the story where he realizes what he's doing is immoral. But because he thinks a CompleteMonster wouldn't realize what he's doing is wrong, he assures himself that he's far from being one himself.[[hottip:*:The omniscient narrator frequently points out that he is, in fact, a CompleteMonster.]]

Yoko is a girl who committed suicide after [[spoiler:being stalked by Takeshi]], dooming her ghost to an eternity of torment as the youkai's plaything. [[spoiler:In "The Spirit Camera," Higanbana gives her the chance to kill Takeshi out of revenge, but she decides not to. She reappears as the protagonist of "One Day for a Certain Girl," where she is given a day to take care of any unfinished business she had from when she was alive before going to Heaven.]]

* DrivenToSuicide
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Again, as a ghost.

* HeelRealization: She didn't realize how much she hurt Takeshi's feelings until [[spoiler:Higanbana brought her back from Hell to confront Takeshi over it. Instead of taking revenge, she offers to go back to Hell to make it up to him]].
* KillTheCutie
* PosthumousCharacter

* CorruptTheCutie: He actually started out as an [[WideEyedIdealist eager, naive, and fairly decent young chap]] before the unbearable stress of work and his unhealthy {{lolicon}} fetish twisted him into what he is now.

* HotTeacher: Well he is a CompleteMonster but a Bishonen nonetheless.

* PetTheDog: Letting [[spoiler:Youko]]'s ghost go to Heaven in "One Day for a Certain Girl". She's even stated to have done it on a whim.

* TheDragon: To the Principal.

Takeshi is a photographer and member of the school's journalism club. He was once framed by Youko Memata for breaking school equipment, leading him to become obsessed with finding "the truth" of all the pictures he takes. [[spoiler:He also stalked Youko out of revenge, leading her to commit suicide]]. He is the main protagonist of "The Spirit Camera."

* [[spoiler:LaserGuidedAmnesia]]: [[spoiler:Due to the Principal's power of erasing the memories of anyone he eats, Nonomiya forgot ever stalking Youko since her corpse was eaten.]]

** [[spoiler:FourEyesZeroSoul]]: [[spoiler:He used to be one, anyway]].
* NiceGuy: [[spoiler:After dealing with his DarkAndTroubledPast, he genuinely becomes one]].
* [[spoiler:StalkerWithoutACrush]]: [[spoiler:He used to take pictures of his classmate Youko from afar and left them everywhere for her to find (even going as far as to clutter her locker with them), all out of revenge for being framed for something he didn't commit. He promptly stopped after she killed herself]].

!!Youko Memata
Youko is a girl who committed suicide after [[spoiler:being stalked by Takeshi]], dooming her ghost to an eternity of torment as the youkai's plaything.

She reappears as the protagonist of "One Day for a Certain Girl," where she is given a day to take care of any unfinished business she had from when she was alive before going to Heaven.]]

* [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]]: The reason why Kanamori kills her is because she had threatened to expose his "supplementary lessons" with her.

* BadSamaritan: It's part of her nature as a youkai. She may seem to help people, but she really just wants to eat them in the end. The only real exception to this is Marie, especially after [[spoiler:she becomes a youkai]], though she openly states that she would've eaten Marie if she hadn't.

* PetTheDog: Letting [[spoiler:Youko]]'s ghost go to Heaven in "One Day for a Certain Girl." She's even stated to have done it on a whim.

The second ranked youkai, also known as "the Shinigami of the 13 Stairs." If a human steps on the 13th stair, he forces them into playing a game of tag each day, where if the human ever stops running, they are dumped straight into hell. Granted, if the human can last 49 days of this, they will be free but...

The fourth ranked youkai, also known as "Azami the Vengeful." Using her magical azamis, she can turn bullied kids into bullies themselves.

The fifth ranked youkai, also known as "Kyou of the Mirror."

The sixth ranked youkai, also known as "Renoir of the Art Room." He spends most of his time sleeping within portraits in the art room, but every once in a while awakens to eat. If a human breaks one of the rules regarding Renoir (borrowing a brush from Renoir, giving an incorrect answer as to the artist of one of the portraits in the room, or lying at all during a conversation with Renoir) they are sucked into a portrait where they are doomed to live forever.

The seventh ranked youkai, also known as "Sumire of the Dusk." She is the main antagonist of "Utopia," where [[spoiler:she disguises herself as a transfer student named Reiko]]. Really looks up to Azami, who she refers to as an older sister.

* [[spoiler:BalefulPolymorph: Turns both Hikaru and Higanbana into bunnies. He then tries to eat Higanbana, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath but...]]]]

* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath: Hameln, after cursing Higanbana into the form of a bunny, tries to eat her. Higanbana responds by biting onto his tongue and then eat it along with the rest of Hameln's insides.]]

* AGodAmI: Well, not necessarily a god, but he declares himself to be Mesomeso after [[spoiler:strangling Marie to death and pretending to be a youkai to ward off potential witnesses who came because of a ScareDare]].

* {{Blackmail}}: Kanamori always videotapes Marie while molesting her, and threatens to expose the tapes in order to keep her quiet. Eventually Marie tries to turn the tables on him by pointing out how much of a risk the tapes are for him. [[HeKnowsTooMuch It does not end well for]] [[KillTheCutie Marie]].

* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard]]: [[spoiler:He dies because he broke all the rules regarding the legend of Mesomeso-san. Mainly, he wasn't supposed to answer a question, figure out her identity and should've just run away.]]
** [[spoiler:This could also be because he assumed that the test was to see who could become a better youkai; Higanbana was actually trying to see who could be a better Mesomeso-san.]]

Hikaru is a very intelligent student who vents his frustrations with cram school by killing the rabbits kept on the school grounds. He is the main protagonist of "Hameln's Castanets."

* [[spoiler:AndIMustScream]]: [[spoiler: His eventual fate (see Karmic Transformation below) which left him screaming for Higanbana's mercy until he could no longer scream(as rabbits can't scream out in human language). And even afterward, he is described as attempting to scream for her mercy as she left...]]

Midori is a wealthy student who made a contract with the Tea Gentleman to become popular after months of being bullied. She is the main protagonist of "The Princess's Lie."

Aya is a girl who lost the will to live, but continued to do so because she didn't want anything other than a peaceful, sleep-like death. After hearing the rumors of the 13 steps, she tests it out and accidentally steps on the 13th step, forcing her to participate in Izanami's game. She is the main protagonist of "The Thirteenth Step's Shinigami."

Michiru is a girl with the ability to see spirits. She is the main protagonist of "The Tutelary Spirit's Shrine" and "My Best Friend."

Yukari is a girl who comes from a poor, dysfunctional family, for which she is quite cruelly bullied. She is the main protagonist of "Utopia."

* [[spoiler:AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's actually a bust sculpture that became a youkai. His capelet is symbolic of this, as they make Renoir look like he has no arms, just like a bust sculpture.]]

Besides these youkai, there are numerous other youkai who try to contend for spots in the hierarchy.
