* BigBrotherWorship: Jiro and Saburo towards Ichiro. Especially Jiro.
** [[spoiler:As depicted in ''The Dirty Dawg'' manga, they used to hate Ichiro in the past they despised him and considered him an embarrassment to their family. In their defense, Ichiro was a different person as well, having bad blood with their ParentalSubstitute and unnknowingly working with the gangster who extorted their orphanage. Their admiration for him is rebuilt when he rescues them from a kidnapping.]]
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Averted. Even though they did spend a part of their childhood in the orphanage, their father, [[spoiler:Rei]], is alive and even [[spoiler:their mother is, [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated even though they thought different]]]].

* KidHero: Compared to other teams, their average age is the youngest, thus they are often considered as this.

* NumericalThemeNaming: Their names contain kanji of numbers (1, 2, 3) based on the order of their births.
** Doubles as FamilyThemeNaming, especially considering [[spoiler:Rei, whose name is the kanji for "zero"]].

* SharedUnusualTrait: All of them share heterochromia in their designs. One eye is green for all of them, but the other eye is typically of their motif color. Ichiro's is red, Jiro's is yellow, and Saburo's is blue.

** Also, "Icchan" by Kazusato.

* {{Hypocrite}}: According to Samatoki, at least.

* {{Otaku}}: Is an avid enjoyer of anime, manga and light novels. In the "Fight For Your Right" drama track, he delivers a passionate and overemotional speech about the necessity to buy Blu-rays with Jiro and getting emotional about all the anime that don't get a second season due to low sales.

** He also ownes various BlandNameProduct video game consoles, which are visible in his room.

Blowing minds with my flow and skill is my job"
** There's a line that refers to the main characters of ''Evangelion'' through wordplay in Japanese:
--->[[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionAsukaLangleySoryu Asu ga]] [[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionTheChildren rain]] demo nakama wo [[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionShinjiIkari shinji]]"[[note]]Even on rainy days, I keep close to those I hold dear[[/note]]
** Alludes to the Second Impact:
--->"Brace for the next impact, one hell of a show"

* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Samatoki. Also with Kuko and Kazusato, to a degree.

* EmbarrassingRingtone: Episode 2 of ''Rhyme Anima'' reveals his phone has one of these: it’s an instrumental version of “Mary had a little lamb” accompanied by bleating noises. To make matters worse, it goes off [[MoodWhiplash in the middle of a confrontation with a rival group.]]
** He has another one for Saburo in episode 6, and it’s just as bad: it’s accompanied by what sounds like a duck or a baby.

* TeenGenius: He is very knowledgeble, has good grades, with [[SmartPeoplePlayChess board and/or card games]] being his favorite pastime hobbies. He's also a [[PlayfulHacker very proficient hacker]].

* TookALevelInKindness: As seen in ''The Dirty Dawg'' manga, Ichiro had a rather sultry personality, being an infamous delinquent and an EvilDebtCollector, being even hated by his own brothers. As the story progresses, he shapes to be the NiceGuy he is in the present.

* TeensAreShort: Averted. The teenaged Yamada brothers are just as tall as the adult characters, with Ichiro ranking fourth tallest among the cast. Jiro is taller than all the members of Fling Posse, and even 14-year-old Saburo is taller than Ramuda, who is a decade his senior.

* ItOnlyWorksOnce: His Rap Ability "Rally" is a powerful one-time attack that uses a power of his teammates.

* {{Otaku}}: Picked up a taste for anime from Ichiro. He delivers a passionate speech about the Blu-rays together with Ichiro, leaving Saburo dumbfounded.

* SignatureHeadgear: Is rarely seen without his snapback in official artwork. In cases where he isn't seen with it, he's usually wearing a different hat instead (for example, the birthday 2020 outfit which has a bucket hat).
* StreetSmart: Has a lot of connections on the streets, most notably, a KnowledgeBroker Urumi.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: As lamented by Jiro, he used to be TheCutie during his early childhood. Saburo himself only finds it embrassing.

* BigBrotherWorship: Jiro and Saburo towards Ichiro. Especially, Jiro.

* AmazonChaser: In "Ohayo Ikebukuro", when being asked what type of girls do he likes, Ichiro answers that he likes strong girls. He even clarifies that by "strong" he means "can fight", prompting a shocked reaction from his brothers.

* BrokenPedestal: Used to look up to Samatoki a lot, but after [[spoiler:Chuohku forced them to fight by threatening their siblings]], Ichiro witnessed Samatoki's lack of empathy. As the result, his admiration turned into the burning hatred.

* TheHero: Buster Bros!!! is a whole fit this, but Ichiro is the most prominent, being the character usually front and center. They're even stated by cast members to be the "heroes" of the project.

* {{Otaku}}: Is an avid enjoyer of anime, manga and light novels. In the "Fight For Your Right" drama track, he delivers a passionate and overemotional speech about the necessity to buy the Blu-rays with Jiro, getting emotional about all the anime that don't get a second season, due to the low sales.
** ARB reveals two of his favorite light novels: ''Sword Destruction World'', an isekai psychological battle royale series, and his favourite, ''Boogiesquare Doesn't Let You Laugh'' of the SekaikeiGenre.

* KidHero: Compared to other teams, their average age is the youngest, thus often considered as this.

** Doubles as FamilyThemeNaming, especially considering [[spoiler:Rei, whose name is a kanji for "zero"]].

* RadioSong: "Ohayo Ikebukuro" is styled as a radio program, hosted by the Yamada brothers.

* BashBrothers: Used to be with Kuko, when Naughty Busters were a thing.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Being TheBabyOfTheBunch during The Dirty Dawg days, he was good friends with Samatoki, Ramuda and Jakurai, who are considerably older than him.

* StreetSmart: Has a lot of connections on the streets, most notably, KnowledgeBroker Urumi Asogi.

* IAmSong: "Ore ga Ichiro" ("I am Ichiro") is exactly this.

* NiceMeanandInBetween: Ichiro is Nice (a NiceGuy and an AllLovingHero), Saburo is Mean (a {{Jerkass}} and a {{DeadpanSnarker}}), while Jiro is In-Between, which befits him being a middle brother.

--->"Y to the A-M-A-D-A

--->"To sum it up, our DNA is l33t"

* ShoutOut: Being the resident {{Otaku}} of the series, he makes a few In Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion in ''Ore ga Ichiro'':

** More of a StealthPun, there's also a line that refers to the main characters of ''Evangelion'' through wordplay i Japanese:[[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionAsukaLangleySoryu Asu ga]] [[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionTheChildren rain]] demo nakama wo [[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionShinjiIkari shinji]]"[[note]]Even on rainy days, I keep close to those I hold dear[[/note]]
