* FamousLastWords: Says the above quote to Aikuro and Tsumugu even as a Kamui absorbed her completely.

->''"[[CatchPhrase There are two things you need to know.]]"''

* InexplicablyAwesome: Has no backstory whatsoever. Is awesome.

* CastOfSnowflakes: Effort was clearly taken to ensure some variety in the heights, builds, and faces of the rank-and-file during their first crowd shot. This stands in deliberate contrast to Satsuki's One-Stars and Ragyo's middle-managers, whom all look like copies of the same three people no matter how many are on screen.
* CoolShip: The [[spoiler:''Naked Sun'', Nudist Beach's flagship. It's a retractable aircraft carrier which also formed part of their Main/ElaborateUndergroundBase prior to be deployed in episode 20.]]

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Thanks to Tsumugu, they seemed like a credible threat at first. However, by the mid-point of the series, they became all but useless compared to monsters using 3 Star Uniforms, Kamuis, or [[spoiler:being [[HalfHumanHybrid Life Fiber hybrids]].]]

------

Appearing at first glance to be Ryuko's bumbling homeroom teacher, this mysterious man is an agent of Nudist Beach who has infiltrated the school to spy on Satsuki. Aikuro aids and protects Ryuko under the Student Council's radar, providing her with vital information on Senketsu and the Kiryuins, usually in the middle of an inexplicable strip tease.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Played with. He's fully prepared to snipe [[spoiler:Berserk!Ryuko]] with an Anti-Kamui bullet, even when told there's no guarantee [[spoiler:she'd survive.]] [[DefiedTrope However]], Mako's effective CooldownHug on [[spoiler:a berserk Ryuko]] spares him from [[spoiler:potentially killing his own student.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: If "犬Kあ3L" or "Suck your blood" start up when he's in the room, prepare for a strip tease:

* PermaStubble: Only in his "teacher disguise" though. When he gets serious, his face miraculously becomes clean shaven.

------

* CantCatchUp: His debut had him handing Ryuko her ass despite using Senketsu and evading Satsuki's forces. Once Nui shows up, however, he begins to fall behind as the rest of the cast gain powerful upgrades. By the time episode 20 rolls around, he's reduced to a punching bag.

** He can ask a teenage girl point blank to take her clothes off and then insist that he's not a pervert without a shred of irony. He also remains completely stone-faced in light of Mako's antics.

* TheWorfEffect: His supposedly all powerful DTR is completely ineffective against [[spoiler:Ryuko wearing Junketsu]], and is easily tossed around by her, and then Nui.

-----

------

* BigGood: He founded and fianaced Nudist Beach, and created the weapons needed to fight Ragyo. He's also the one who sent Ryuko on her quest. [[spoiler:He was also the one who inspired Satsuki to fight against her mother, everyone who took part in the battle against the life-fibers was in some way set in motion by him.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Flashbacks reveal he was present at the recruitment of Rei Hououmaru and active in the Life Fiber experimentation of his daughters. His total knowledge of the truth behind COVERS proves he was part of Ragyo's inner circle. However, it wasn't until his wife displayed zero affection for their daughters, [[EveryoneHasStandards that he finally turned on her]]. Even then, his actions seemed more directed towards ensuring the girls had freedom of choice and a future, than self preservation or an altruistic ideal of saving the world]].

* PosthumousCharacter: All that we know about him, including how he died, are gleaned from various characters' flashback.

----

* CoolSword: Another weapon what he gives to his {{Mooks}} are swords whose blades are made out of ''money''.

* {{Biseinen}}: A manly version, and transforms into one at will. Taken to ridiculous extremes as it's always accompanied by [[MrFanservice stripping and sparkles]].

* {{Biseinen}}: Can transform into one at will. Taken to ridiculous extremes as it's always accompanied by [[MrFanservice stripping and sparkles]].

->Voiced by: Makoto Awane (Japanese), Creator/BenDiskin (English)

* AceCustom: His [[MiniMecha Dotonb...]] [[InsistentTerminology er... DTR]] is notably different than the standard unit issued to Nudist Beach RedShirt/s; being bigger and having red leg wheels.

* PermaStubble: Only in his "teacher disguise" though, when he gets serious, his face miraculously becomes clean shaven.

* ClarkKentOutfit: Quite a bit more muscular than his clothing would suggest.

* CombiningMecha: His DTR can combine with Tsugumu's in order to form the "Ultimate Double Naked DTR"... [[CurbstompBattle which is instantly brushed off]] by Ragyo. [[spoiler:It's ultimately used to blow up the rocket which Ragyo would use to propel herself into space.]]

* CoolCar: His OneSceneWonder "Nude Shooting Star", which doubles as an AmphibiousAutomobile.

* BatmanGambit: Nui was sent by Ragyo to retrieve whatever he was working on and bring it back to the Kiryuins. By showing her the Rending Scissors and boldly touting them as his "life's work", Isshin managed to mislead Nui and prevent her from finding Senketsu, the Kamui he was developing, until it was too late.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He was killed with the very same weapon he created. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Nui Harime:

* TheLostLenore: For Aikuro, according to Word of God.

* YouWillBeAssimilated: Kinue was [[CruelandUnusualDeath absorbed wholly into a Kamui after it overpowered her.]]

* FullFrontalAssault: They turn this into a philosophy.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: Full-heartedly believed in this from what we know. Unfortunately, this blew up in her face when a Kamui [[DeconstructedTrope exploited this]] and absorbed her completely due to her lack of will against it.

* CoolShip: The [[spoiler: ''Naked Sun'', Nudist Beach's flagship. It's a retractable aircraft carrier which also formed part of their Main/ElaborateUndergroundBase prior to be deployed in episode 20.]]

* FullFrontalAssault: They turn this into a philosophy. See also the HandOrObjectUnderwear entry for how [[Creator/StudioTrigger Trigger]] [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar gets by with that.]]

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Thanks to Tsumugu, they seemed like a credible threat at first. However, by the mid-point of the series, they became all but useless compared to monsters using 3 Star Uniforms, Kamuis, or [[spoiler:being [[HalfHumanHybrid Life fiber hybrids]].]]

* BattleStrip: His clothes fall off of their own accord when he ditches his teacher disguise and things [[LetsGetDangerous get dangerous]]. [[spoiler:He also pilots a MiniMecha with nothing but a utility belt covering his privates]].

* ClarkKenting: His disguise amounts to messy hair, a pair of aviator glasses, stubble, and bad posture. In episode 15, [[spoiler:it's subverted, as we learn his disguise never fooled Satsuki.]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Right at the start of episode 1, Aikuro actually [[NonchalantDodge evades the reinforced metal door Gamagoori kicks at him]], unlike his poor students. Later that same episode, he follows Ryuko home and drops her through a trapdoor, before taking off his disguise for the first time. It's an indication that he's neither who he seems nor someone to be messed with. Retrospectively, the lecture he's giving in class (about Hitler's rise to power) also qualifies, since given his politics, it's likely that his excessive focus on it is a not-so-subtle dig at the school administration and REVOCS.

* GratuitousEnglish. Is prone to bouts of this when he's not in his teacher disguise.

* HotTeacher: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; he's not really a teacher, and he's only hot when he's not acting like one.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Played with. He's fully prepared to snipe [[spoiler:Berserk!Ryuko]] with an Anti-Kamui bullet, even when told there's no guarantee [[spoiler:she'd survive.]] [[DefiedTrope However]], Mako's effective CooldownHug on [[spoiler:a berserk Ryuko]] spares him from [[spoiler:potentially killing his own student.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: If "犬Kあ3L" or "Suck your blood" start up when he's in the room, prepare for a strip tease.

* MrFanservice: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. After he takes off his shades to reveal his good looks, he usually starts stripping and striking very erotic poses. Since resigning from the academy, he's butt naked more often than not. Also, if you look closely during some of the scenes where he's naked, you can see female characters' gazes [[FunnyBackgroundEvent drifting towards his crotch]], especially [[CovertPervert Sukuyo Mankanshoku]].

* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: While most Nudist Beach operatives treat nudity as protocol, Aikuro ''loves'' showing off, frequently posing erotically and removing his clothes for no reason. Lampshaded by Tsumugu.
-->'''Tsumugu''': You get undressed because you like to, and you know it!

** In episode 11, he gives Aikuro [[ChekhovsGun a bullet that is seemingly made out of Life Fibers.]]
* AceCustom: Like Mikisugi, he has a custom made DTR armed with [[MoreDakka Four Heavy Sewing Machineguns.]]

* CatchPhrase: "There are two things you need to know..." ("Let me tell you two useful pieces of information," in the Japanese version)

* CombiningMecha: During the finale, his DTR combines with Aikuro's in order to form the "Ultimate Double Naked DTR", which would have been seen using a minigun-like {{BFG}} if not for Ragyo [[CurbstompBattle instantly writing them off]].

* MrFanservice: Similarly to Gamagoori, he became a huge hit amongst bara fans, and the scene that had him completely naked and showed off his ass was ''freaking celebrated'' by tumblr.

* TheWorfEffect: Yea, his supposedly all powerful DTR is completely ineffective against [[spoiler: Ryuko wearing Junketsu]], and is easily tossed around by her, and then Nui.

* TheLostLenore: For Aikuro, according to WordOfGod.

* BigGood: He founded and fianaced Nudist Beach, and created the weapons needed to fight Ragyo. He's also the one who sent Ryuko on her quest.
** [[spoiler:He was also the one who inspired Satsuki to fight against her mother, everyone who took part in the battle against the life-fibers was in some way set in motion by him.]]
* CoolOldGuy: Just because he was killed, that doesn't mean he went down without a fight. Subverted when it's revealed that [[spoiler:he only looks old because he altered his appearance.]]

** Also, he founded Nudist Beach, so that might have double-subverted this.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Flashbacks reveal he was present at the recruitment of Rei Hououmaru and active in the Life Fiber experimentation of his daughters. His total knowledge of the truth behind COVERS proves he was part of Ragyo's inner circle. However, it wasn't until his wife displayed zero affection for their daughters, [[EvenEvilHasStandards that he finally turned on her]]. Even then, his actions seemed more directed towards ensuring the girls had freedom of choice and a future, than self preservation or an altruistic ideal of saving the world]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He was killed with the very same weapon he created. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Nui Harime:

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: His design appears to be a deliberate throwback to 1970s anime.

* ReedRichardsIsUseless: {{Averted|Trope}}. He used his patents to fund Nudist Beach.

* AbnormalAmmo: His {{Mooks}} use guns that fire ''money''.

* GoodAllAlong: He's obnoxious, but firmly on the side of good, as one the main backers of Nudist Beach. He even [[spoiler:sacrifices his remaining fortune to fund the Naked Sun.]]

* InkSuitActor: Mako's seiyuu, Aya Suzaki, mentioned on the radio show that she was shocked when she met Makoto Awane because his face so closely resembles Takarada's.

* JiveTurkey: This is how he sounds in the English dub.

* SpearCounterpart: Oddly enough, despite the two of them hating each other's guts, he is not entirely dissimilar to Satsuki herself. They are both the school council presidents of their respective schools. They are both scions of incredibly wealthy families who utilize their absurd amounts of money to achieve their goals (more blatantly in Takarada's case) and are essentially the supreme rulers of their respective cities thanks to their wealth. Both prefer to let their subordinates do the fighting for them, but are perfectly ready to step onto the battlefield personally when push comes to shove. On top of that, Takarada also displays a surprising degree of VillainousValor and defiance that is not unlike Satsuki's own. Even better, [[spoiler:they both have the same end goal - to defeat Kiryuin Ragyo and stop the Life Fiber invasion, and they [[GoodIsNotSoft are not above using unsavory things to achieve said goal]], which makes them appear villainous at first sight]]. Pretty much the only difference between the two is that Satsuki is disciplined, stoic, and prefers to [[TheSocialDarwinist rule through superior skill and force]], while Takarada is flamboyant and unrestrained, and is quite upfront with the fact that [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney his power is derived from money]].

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: To the point where it's tough to call him a villain at all. He'll use human wave tactics, expend vast amounts of resources, and even ''burn down his own city'' but since it keeps the Osakan economy running and its citizens paid, everyone's totally OK with it. This is especially true considering he was only defending his school and city against an (apparently) unprovoked attack.

* AntiHero: He opposes Satsuki's uniform-dominated world just as much as the other protagonists, but takes a gruff, no-nonsense approach to his work which sometimes has him clash with other heroic characters.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:He experimented on his daughters when they were both very young]]. While shook this off before his death, he was very cold towards Ryuko, [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou though he had his reasons]].
