* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: Fitting with his status as a DecoyProtagonist, he finds himself ending up in this role, where often times he first learns about important events well after they have happened, as the characters who where involved with the action fills him in via exposition. It is perhaps most pronounced in ''Wataganashi-hen'', he ends up being [[spoiler:an UnwittingPawn in Shion's scheme]], while Rena is ultimately turns out to be one amongst the kids who is actually the most on the ball about what is really going on.

* ItsAllMyFault: In ''Watanagashi-hen'', [[spoiler:Keiichi is quite convinced that the murders and disappearences are connected to the break-in at the shrine's storehouse he had a part in, and that some of disappearances are connected to him, as the culprit wants to torment him before killing him]]. As a result, he spends a lot of time agonizing himself over it and being afraid to talk about it because he fears he will condemn someone else to the same fate. [[spoiler:In reality, however, this is a major case of MotiveMisidentification on his behalf. For the longest time, he fails to consider the fact that the people disappearing are all members of the Three Families, as well as the crimes might be related to some kind of internal feud between them. Of course, Shion, who is the actual culprit, actively feeds his wrong conclusion, as she finds it a quite useful way to manipulate him for her own ends.]]



* JackOfAllStats: In ''Higurashi Daybreak'', he's this along with Nata Rena. He has decent running speed, plausible defence, great melee range and powerful range attacks that cover quite a distance. However, all three of his weapons lean slightly towards being a ranged moevest of varying styles, with the Baseball Bat being more BoringButPractical , the golf clubs going for more damage at expense of less control and the shovel has an emphasis on wide-spread keep-away tactics.

* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:She drinks wine when she's depressed, despite being underage. She notes that it's quite easy to get drunk with her small frame. She knows she's fated to die anyway, so what harm could it do?]]

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: [[spoiler:Due to still being physically a preteen, she cannot achieve complete mental maturity despite being mentally over a hundred years old, simply because certain changes in the brain that occur during puberty haven't occured for her yet. A line in the visual novel suggests she hasn't even gotten her first period yet.]]

A line in the visual novel suggests she hasn't even gotten her first period yet. As a result, she might be incredibly knowledgeable and expierenced, and basically having a sense of precognition, since she can pretty much predict what everyone else will do due to have seen the same basic patterns playing out several times. But as she is still mentally a child, she often lacks the perspective and patience to apply this knowledge in a rational manner to its fullest potential, which is the main reason why she always finds herself getting OutGambitted.]]

He manages to fall competely completely for Shion's scheme to frame Mion as the perperator of her crimes, and, most crucially, she manipulates him into be paranoid towards Mion and she makes him give feeding her quite a bit of crucial information that allows her to remain one step in front up of everyone else, including giving up the fact that Rika is the one working biggest treat against her.]]

* MaskOfSanity: Shion can act outwardly calm and composed for prolonged periods of time when the situation calls for it, but she is ''really'' messed up under the surface. Whenever she allows the mask to slip just a little bit, she quickly turns into a maniac, and when it entirely falls off she becomes LaughingMad.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:She spends most of ''Meakashi-hen'' (and by extension, ''[[PerspectiveFlip Watanagashi-hen]]'') seeking revenge on the Three Families for murdering Satoshi. It would be bad enough if they were merely innocent of his death, but it's worse than that- ''[[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated he's not even dead!]]'']]
