History Characters / Kodocha

The boys that helped Akito and Gomi terrorize their classroom, including Sojuro Itami (the boy with the red flat-top hair), Yukihiro Yasuda (the boy who usually wears a brightly-colored baseball cap, nicknamed Yunchi), Ryota Kasuya (The boy with the bowl cut), and Shohei Kojima (the boy with the short dark hair). These boys all give Akito a high amount of praise and respect, but in reality, they all fear him.

%%[[/folder]]

Sana's biological mother, who gave birth to her and then gave her up when she was barely 14-years old. She fell in love with Sana's father at some point at a young age, and when it got too serious, she eventually found out she was pregnant and became too scared to tell anyone. She had the baby all on her own and was so scared that she decided to leave the baby out on a park bench. Eleven years later, now married with another daughter, she discovers that her all-but-forgotten first-born child is now one of the most iconic child actresses in Japan, and at least wants the chance to make things right.

%%[[folder:Yuko Mizukuchi]]

One of Akito's "pals" if you can call him that. Gomi was among the boys who answered to Akito and followed everything he did. Then Akito became a loner and left the group, which caused Gomi to resent and attempt to usurp him. Even now that Akito's been turned good, Gomi and a few of those followers, including [[RecurringExtra Kojima (the boy with the short dark hair), Itami (the boy with the red flat-top hair), and Yasuda (the boy with the baseball cap)]], still like to make fun of the other students in the class, particularly Sana, the other girls, and especially Tsuyoshi, only for Akito and Sana to take charge and show them who's boss.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Tsuyoshi's cute apple and chicken-loving little sister."'']]
-> '''Voiced by''': Miwa Matsumoto (Japanese), Creator/LuciChristian (English)
Tsuyoshi's little sister, is a tiny second grader who is as bubbly as her idol Sana. She believes that any old egg can turn into a baby chick, and Sana secretly takes Aono's egg she got from a store and sneaks a baby chick into Aono's bag, having her believe that it hatched from the egg just out of kindness. Meanwhile, her mother eventually divorces her father but is still far too young to properly understand what's going on around her.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: In the manga, her hair color is similar to Tsuyoshi's and is often colored dark. In the anime, she's a redhead despite neither of her parents having the same hair color.
* CheerfulChild: She's almost always happy and excited.

* TheDefroster: She single-handedly gave Akito a major attitude adjustment, which started by blackmailing him into behaving at school and then forcing his "crazy-stew" or "oyakudon" family into actually caring about him, loving each other, and acting like a real family. It was the best thing that she could have done for him.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cast_call.jpg]]

** She has a much more serious one [[spoiler:courtesy of the "mannequin disease" in the manga, which she contracts upon learning that Akito is going to be moving to America, specifically Los Angeles. It leaves her face expressionless, prevents her from eating, makes her forget bad memories and the people associated with them, including Akito at one point, and causes her to make very hasty decisions. It wasn't even the first time this had happened.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In the manga, [[spoiler:she has a habit of forgetting unpleasant memories (and the people they involve) when she suffers from the [[HeroicBSOD mannequin disease]]]].

* AboveTheInfluence: Subverted, [[spoiler:during Sana's illness from the mannequin disease, she undresses and invites Akito into their bed so they can "[[SexualEuphemism become adults]]". The spooked Akito knows something's wrong and sharply refuses, though it's clear that he's having trouble resisting. One nudge and a kiss from Sana later and he submits, sitting on her bed with her with his shirt off.]]

* ManlyTears: Often averted, as there are times when he looks like he's going to cry but doesn't, and even [[MenDontCry tries to force Tsuyoshi to do the same]]. [[spoiler: However, upon failing to convince Sana she's not well as a result of her "Mannequin Disease" and failing to do everything to break her out of it, he starts shouting at her for not even considering how lonely he was while she left to focus on her acting career and how lonely he'll be leaving for Los Angeles. He's left breaking down crying and actually pleading with Sana to snap out of it and smile.]]

* HeroicBSOD: Her reaction to [[spoiler:Akito announcing that he's dating Fuuka]] leaves her face expressionless from the shock.

* KiddieKid: Downplayed, especially in the anime, where her cheerful and energetic nature is cranked to the max. She acts mature when the time calls for it, but she's usually sillier and more childlike compared to her friends. Being born on March 7th, which is towards the end of the Japanese school year, she's also supposedly the youngest of her inner circle of similarly-aged friends (Gomi was hinted to have been born in May, Hisae and Tsuyoshi were born in July, Akito was born in October, Fuuka was born on Christmas Eve, and Naozumi and Aya were both born on January 10th).

** Not helping was the fact that Akito had [[spoiler:already kissed Fuuka back in kindergarten and thought nothing of it, which made her assume that he was just a kiss snatcher and she didn't want to risk making the same mistake that she made with Rei. She is still affected by it, however, because she can't stop thinking about Akito (including not realizing that he was "in love" with her even after ''two different timed kisses'', the second of which was unambiguously out of love) and she becomes jealous and brokenhearted when he starts dating Fuuka. She simply cannot explain why she feels that way at those moments. When Sana finally realizes she's in love with Akito, it's a big deal for her]].

* SelectiveObliviousness: Sana becomes ''very'' brokenhearted when [[spoiler: she hears that Akito is dating Fuuka. When someone explains the obvious, she tries to rationalize it away one last time]].
* ShockValueRelationship: To some extent with [[spoiler:Naozumi after the anime's New York arc. Once they come back from America, both of them claim that they are dating, which at first seems to be to keep the media from spreading more rumors and lies and for Sana to fill the void that Akito created once he started dating Fuuka. However, aside from a few hugs and despite their growing bond in New York, she doesn't treat him like a boyfriend and never refers to him as such, instead calling him a "working partner" and their situation being called "complicated". Once Sana is shown a "best couple" photo of Akito and Fuuka during their time at the amusement park, Akito and the others can sense that Sana is still not happy that she's not with Akito, even if she personally tells Akito that she's happy for him. And when Naozumi breaks up with her, she's shown to be in denial and claims she sees Akito more as a brother who shared the same suffering as her when in reality, that's just how she feels about Naozumi.]]

* AffectionateNickname: Fuuka's nickname for him was "Akki" when they were in kindergarten. [[spoiler: she frequently refers to him as such when they first start dating]]

** The Archie to Sana's Betty and Fuuka's Veronica.

* ChickMagnet: Sana and Fuuka aside, it's guaranteed that he'd be literally surrounded by fangirls if his attitude wasn't such a turn-off.

* CrazyJealousGuy: He gets this way any time Sana is with another boy or man. In fact, Tsuyoshi "joking" about asking Sana to marry him was enough to make Akito lose his cool. It becomes the catalyst for Tsuyoshi and eventually, Naozumi and Fuuka realizing that Akito and Sana needed each other more than they wanted to admit. It's also ultimately how Sana herself found out that Rei was only "playing along" with her as her "boyfriend".

** In the manga, [[spoiler: He slowly starts to revert to his more demonic elementary school attitude for a short time after a series of misfortunes occur, including getting suspended from school, being unable to take his karate exam as a result, having his mind stuck on a returning Sana and becoming increasingly bitter with her for being "spoiled" and leaving him lonely. It ends with Akito giving Fuuka a DeathGlare after she reprimands him for fighting with some punks at the arcade, and it's not until Sana meets up with him and tearfully comforts him that it becomes swiftly reversed.]]
** In the anime, the events after the arcade slightly differ and his regression is toned down drastically. [[spoiler:Fuuka is sent to a hospital after being temporarily blinded after the attack at the arcade and Akito blames himself for her getting hurt. However, upon hearing on the radio that Sana backed out of her new show because of Akito, she breaks up with him knowing that Sana and Akito still love each other. Akito is not convinced and brokenheartedly leaves to walk into the park, right near the gazebo where Sana pretended to be his mother. He worries Sana by giving her the same cruel look in his eyes that he made in his "boss-monkey" days.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: Zig-zagged. Most of the time, he's just cold, stoic, and brutally honest, and is not exactly a doormat with Sana or his other friends. However, he lets his sister regularly insult him (in early chapters), lets Gomi and a group of older middle school bullies beat him up and frame him without tattling (towards the end of the anime's first season), and lets Fuuka boss him around without any protest (during their brief relationship).

* LastNameBasis: Although many of their friends do call them by their given name, Akito and Sana keep referring to each other by their family names, even towards the end of the series (though in the English dub, Sana almost always calls him Akito, and Akito himself makes at least three exceptions throughout the dub). However, during the time she returns from filming ''The Mansion of Water'', it unnerves her that Akito starts referring to her as "Sana" all of a sudden, picking it up from Fuuka which implied that Akito and Fuuka were much closer than they were supposed to be.

* LovableSexManiac: Far more subdued than most examples, but he's shown to act this way [[SingleTargetSexuality exclusively around Sana]], not even doing the same to Fuuka when he started dating her. From kissing Sana out of nowhere three times in the anime to groping her because her chest was right in from of his face when bandaging his forehead, to flipping her skirt and potentially getting a peek at what's under just to ease the tension of Sana meeting her birth mother.

* NotSoAboveItAll: He's usually among the most normal of the characters, but has a few crazy antics himself. Also, he was among the kids who [[spoiler:bet Akito he couldn't kiss Fuuka]] when they were in kindergarten, and when Fuuka resurfaces he actually issues Akito with a ''death threat'' should he tell her what had happened

* SatelliteCharacter: Has it even worse than Aya, as she's only around just for Sana to have some friends at school. After Fuuka's introduction, her appearances become less frequent.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Immediately after the beginning of the anime's second season, Mami disappears from the series probably to make room for the new character Fuuka, as her main purpose in the story had long expired. [[BackForTheFinale She does come back for a few minor non-speaking appearances during the last two episodes]].

[[folder:Fuuka Matsui]]

The first friend Sana meets when she enters middle school, in the bathroom of all places. She previously lived in the Tokyo area before moving to Osaka, but then she moved back to start school. Although she shares a few the Osaka's stereotypes (the BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine and the Kansai accent), she coupled with the class perfectly. She and Sana became best friends fast because they share some similar traits (physical and emotional). During the first days of school, she finds out that an old kindergarten classmate of hers was in the same grade and school as her -- Akito Hayama, who was her FirstKiss. As soon as she starts to know him, she develops a special interest in him... Due to a miscommunication on Sana's end, Akito starts dating Fuuka when Sana was absent filming ''The Mansion of Water'', which all started with an innocent DoubleDate with Fuuka's OldFlame. They later break up, as Fuuka realizes how much Sana means to Akito and vice versa.

* TheAce: Athletic, smart, and popular, no one has to wonder why so many of her classmates look up to her. Even Sana gets a little jealous of that aspect of Fuuka.
* AdaptedOut: Downplayed, because the English dub never went past episode 51, Fuuka is never formally introduced in the Funimation release outside of cameos in the opening (which by default shows the second opening as the original was replaced due to Tokio's involvement), [[OnTheNext the post-ending sequence of the aforementioned episode]], and a passing mention in all but name when talking about Akito's first kiss in kindergarten.

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Her father doesn't like Akito, and in one of the later episodes where Akito and Fuuka are still dating, he blames him for Fuuka's accident while she is in the hospital.

** Fuuka is BookSmart and exceptionally athletic, Sana is BookDumb and minimally athletic.
** Fuuka is a normal (if brilliant) teenager who has never worked on TV, Sana is a famous actress, model, and idol.
** Fuuka has known Akito since kindergarten and was his FirstKiss, but they were never close (before they start dating). Sana met Akito later but has a much deeper connection with him and they share an UnresolvedSexualTension for the entire series.
** Fuuka is open about her feelings for Akito, while Sana is ObliviousToLove and doesn't realize Akito is in love with her for a long time.

* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Subverted. Fuuka lived in Osaka for a while, and she still has the Kansai accent, and while she is obnoxiously hyper (though not any less than Sana, whose personality and accent say "generic Tokyo area native character") and a bit boorish, she's quite clever, reliable, and more astute than Sana.

* ReplacementGoldfish: When Akito believed that Sana and Naozumi were together, he dated Fuuka because, by a strange coincidence, she resembled Sana in both looks and personality. This is lampshaded by Fuuka herself in the manga when she talks to Sana about how similar they both were. And then it's something she highlights to Akito when she wanted to understand him at the end.

* ResignedInDisgrace: In the anime, [[spoiler: He forces himself to resign from the school after it's revealed by Fuuka that he manipulated a lot of the events that almost led to Akito's expulsion.]]

* RomanticFalseLead: While Sana and Akito were always meant to be the OfficialCouple, he was clearly the most prominent out of Sana's other admirers and, at least for a while, an obstacle to Sana's RelationshipUpgrade with Akito along with Fuuka, especially in the anime. It doesn't help that he and Sana often end up playing on-screen couples due to their job.

* CoolBigSis: She's Sana's favorite actress, but had mixed feelings about her taking Rei from her. Once all of that gets cleared up, Sana starts looking up to Asako more, such as when they start filming ''The Mansion of Water''. Asako helps her realize her feelings towards Akito after she gets sentimentally hurt about him [[spoiler:dating Fuuka]] because Sana ''loves'' him.

The first friend Sana meets when she enters middle school, in the bathroom of all places. She previously lived in the Tokyo area before moving to Osaka, but then she moved back to start school.

She and Sana became best friends fast because they share some similar traits (physical and emotional).

They later break up, as Fuuka realizes how much Sana means to Akito and vice versa.

** Done badly in the Italian dub. In the original, she has a [[KansaiRegionalAccent Kansai accent]], while her Italian voice actress gives her a blatantly fake pseudo-English accent.

* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Subverted. Fuuka lived in Osaka for a while, and she still has the KansaiRegionalAccent, and while she is obnoxiously hyper (though not any less than Sana, whose personality and accent say "generic Tokyo area native character") and a bit boorish, she's quite clever, reliable, and more astute than Sana.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Like his namesake voice actor, he speaks in an Osaka dialect in the original Japanese release. In turn, the subtitles of the Funimation release give him a very distinct New York accent.

A not-so-old lady who's generally considered to be the disciplinarian of Jinbou Elementary School, despite being the principal's right-hand-woman. She keeps her eyes on Class 3, believing the class is made up of nothing but failures and troublemakers. She's also not particularly fond of either Sana or Akito, the former for frequently slipping through the cracks of the school's standards as the result of being a celebrity (being late for school if not skipping it outright along with low grades in math) and the latter as a result of his past behavior and general attitude (often calling her a wrinkled-old hag). In the anime, however, she becomes absolutely nuts about Zenjiro after the first time they meet and is almost always around when he is looking for a date, whether he likes it or not.

* ShockValueRelationship: To some extent with [[spoiler:Naozumi after the anime's New York arc. Once they come back from America, both of them claim that they are dating, which at first seems to be to keep the media from spreading more rumors and lies and for Sana to fill the void that Akito created once he started dating Fuuka.

And when Naozumi breaks up with her, she's shown to be in denial and claims she sees Akito more as a brother who shared the same suffering as her when in reality, that's just how she feels about Naozumi.]]

** During the filming of ''Water Palace'', she suffered a cracked leg courtesy of Naozumi's crazed fangirls trying to keep her away from him. Not only Sana decided to hide the extent of her injury and continue filming (partly out of sheer spite at her attackers, as she saw it as the perfect revenge), but it ended up ''improving the final scene'', as the pain slowed her down just that much she came out of the house on fire shortly before it collapsed, making the scene that much more awesome.

* OutOfTheInferno: While the house that "Water Palace" was being filmed was burning, and Sana was still weakened from her leg... she manages to make her [[UnflinchingWalk dramatic exit]] just in time (while the others were worried that Sana would die in there), and this ends up being the perfect scene of the movie.

* UnflinchingWalk: At the climax of the shooting of ''Water Palace'', Sana walks out of the burning building literally ''seconds'' before it collapses behind her, without batting an eyelid or breaking character at all.

* IGotBigger: Before Sana left for filming ''Water Palace'', Akito was barely an inch taller than her, and she could easily fit into his clothes with no problem. Once she comes back he's at least ''one foot'' taller than she is.

* LastNameBasis: Although many of their friends do call them by their given name, Akito and Sana keep referring to each other by their family names, even towards the end of the series (though in the English dub, Sana almost always calls him Akito, and Akito himself makes at least three exceptions throughout the dub). However, during the time she returns from filming ''Water Palace'', it unnerves her that Akito starts referring to her as "Sana" all of a sudden, picking it up from Fuuka which implied that Akito and Fuuka were much closer than they were supposed to be.

Asako helps her realize her feelings towards Akito after she gets sentimentally hurt about him [[spoiler:dating Fuuka]] because Sana ''loves'' him.
* DudeMagnet: As expected of a famous actress, she gets the attention of many men... be it her own castmates (as Kawai, on the film set of ''Water Palace'') or other celebrities (as shown in the anime, with [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Takuya Kimuchi]]).

* OverprotectiveDad: After the family issues are solved.

* AllLovingHero: While she's known to hold childish grudges towards troublemakers and tries to put them in their place, she's not above giving those same people a second chance or even a third chance.

* AccentAdaptation: Done badly in the Italian dub. In the original, she has a [[KansaiRegionalAccent Kansai accent]], while her Italian voice actress gives her a blatantly fake pseudo-English accent.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Akito, who went to kindergarten with her and was her FirstKiss. She was mildly interested in Akito, and after he showed her how a good friend he could be, that same interest grew up. They eventually start dating [[spoiler: after jumping to conclusions about the "Sana was dating Naozumi"'s rumors]]. Of course, it didn't last.

* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Subverted. Fuuka lived in Osaka for a while, and she still has the KansaiRegionalAccent, and while she is obnoxiously hyper (though not any less than Sana, whose personality and accent say "generic Tokyo area native character"), she's quite clever, reliable, and more astute than Sana.

* AsianBuckTeeth: His standout trait is that he has a very pronounced overbite, which is almost a rarity in anime.

* TraumaButton: In the anime, being alone with Akito turned into one, as he and the other boys were responsible for nearly drowning her after she called him a monster. Every time Sana tries to mention Akito to her she flees or changes the subject.

* TraumaButton: Being alone with Akito turned into one, as he and the other boys were responsible for nearly drowning her after she called him a monster.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sana is not somone you should underestimate. Already having Akito in hot water after she finds out he has two of the teachers blackmailed, Sana, trembling in anger, becomes visibly disturbed and ''very'' harshly calls Akito out after he and his goons [[DeadlyPrank nearly drowned her friend Mami]]. Just by flatly admitting that he doesn't care about either fact finally forces Sana to [[BitchSlap slap him]].

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the OVA, her hair is an unusually light strawberry-blonde, as opposed to the usual light mahogany.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Already having Akito in hot water after she finds out he has two of the teachers blackmailed, Sana, trembling in anger, becomes visibly disturbed and ''very'' harshly calls Akito out after he and his goons [[DeadlyPrank nearly drowned her friend Mami]]. Just by flatly admitting that he doesn't care about either fact finally forces Sana to [[BitchSlap slap him]].

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: While "gentle" might be pushing it, she's willing to do everything she can to help those around her, especially the brooding and stoic Akito, whom she put a lot of work into just to make his life pleasant.

* MotorMouth: '''Big Time'''. Often called this verbatim in-universe, Sana's fast speech, especially when she gets angry, can only be compared to [[Anime/ExcelSaga Excel]], where the subtitles can come in [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Rufus]]-styled ''paragraphs'' in a short amount of time. In fact, one of the reasons why Discotek delayed the second season's US release was because of how often Sana quickly talks and screams over everyone else.

* PervertRevengeMode: Sana's already got a hot temper, especially around Akito, so when he violates her without warning, he's practically asking for a beating.

* {{Troll}}: She really enjoys messing with people, especially her editor when a deadline is approaching.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Ms. Andoh falls madly in love with Zenjiro sometime after the Hula competition in episode 14. Sana even exploits this to get herself into middle school.
