History Characters / LUCKYSTAR

* {{Animeland}}: Her entire idea of Japan. Which the other otaku do nothing to discourage.

* FunnyForeigner: She's an American exchange student [[OccidentalOtaku who's also a big anime fan]], and much of the humor surrounding her relates to how skewed her ideas of Japan are thanks to all the anime and manga she's consumed. Konata and Hiyori, her fellow anime fans, do very little to discourage her views.

* FunnyForeigner: She's an American exchange student [[OccidentalOtaku who's also a big anime fan]], and much of the humor surrounding her relates to how skewed her ideas of Japan are thanks to all the anime and manga she's consumed.

* ResortToPouting: On one occasion, Konata tries to convince Miyuki to go to a "Festival" with her. Kagami arrives and pushes Konata down in her seat, warning Miyuki that the "Festival" is Comiket in Ariake. Konata pouts angrily at her desk, "I wasn't lying, though. I mean, a festival is a festival."

* OccidentalOtaku: Her knowledge in Japanese culture seemed to be limited to anime.

* AscendedExtra: Patty is an {{omake}}-only character in the early manga, only to be ascended to the main manga chapters later. Averted in the anime, where she was introduced in Episode 17 and remained prominent through to the end.

* GrumpyBear: She is this to the rest of the cast (Konata in particular) due to her comparatively mature, serious and somewhat standoffish personality.

* InUniverseNickname: In the main show, Konata nicknames him "Sebastian" as a reference to ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs''.

* OtakuSurrogate: In a series full of otakus, she stands out the most by virtue of having "male otaku" traits. Aside from a brief obsession with ''[[LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs MariMite]]'' and making a single reference to ''Manga/WeddingPeach'', she has no interest in [[ShoujoDemographic any series aimed at girls]] and is hugely into anime and games primarily aimed at a male audience. One strip [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this, saying she is only biologically female.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She acts tomboyish thanks to being [[RaisedByDudes primarily raised by her father]], rarely wears skirts or dresses aside from her school uniform and is [[OtakuSurrogate mainly into anime and games aimed at a male audience]], but she did once get hooked on ''[[LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs MariMite]]'' (which is a shoujo series) and can act the part of a stereotypical {{Ojou}} fairly well.

* VoiceChangeling: Konata is very skilled at imitating voices. She's able to do an accurate imitation of [[Manga/CrayonShinChan Shin-chan]], uses a very stereotypically feminine {{Ojou}}-style voice and speech patterns when she becomes hooked on ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'', and is able to perfectly imitate [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi Suzumiya's]] voice while cosplaying as her (though as a bonus, both she and Haruhi have the same voice actress in both Japanese and English).

* YuriFan: She watches ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'' and ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'', and bought some of Hiyori's Minami/Yutaka {{doujinshi}} at Comiket, although she's initially unaware that the latter ''was'' based on her otherwise innocent cousin.

* GirlishPigtails: For actually being cute and innocent.

* CuteOversizedSleeves: She's a CheerfulChild who wears sleeves that often go past her hands.

* TheCameo:
** Anisawa actually predates ''Lucky Star''; he was Animate's mascot for some time before.
** He made another cameo appearance in the first season of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''

** As well as during the credits for [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers Hetalia]] World Series: Fantasia.

* {{Cameo}}:

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He and his store's staff are all drawn in Kazuhiko Shimamoto's art style and have different color palette from the rest of the characters.

* TheFakeCutie: Appearance-wise, she's adorable and is good at acting the part, but personality-wise, she's really more of a [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight dried-up entertainer]] who takes out her frustrations on Shiraishi.

* ActorAllusion: In this anime, he looks and acts rather a lot like Itsuki Koizumi from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', who he also voices.

* {{Fangirl}}: While she's already a huge {{Otaku}} in general, in the anime she's an especially big fan of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''. She owns tons of ''Haruhi'' merchandise and gets especially excited when Patty bribes her with tickets to see Aya Hirano, Haruhi's voice actress (who, incidentally, is also Konata's ''[[CelebrityParadox own]]'' voice actress). That said, despite her fanaticism, she isn't exempt from criticizing the anime adaptation, as she does upon watching the episode "Someday in the Rain", being unimpressed by how the studio cut corners with the infamous long-winded shots of Nagato reading a book.

* VoiceChangeling: Konata is very skilled at imitating voices. She's able to do an accurate imitation of [[Manga/CrayonShinChan Shin-chan]], uses a very stereotypically feminine {{Ojou}}-style voice and speech patterns when she becomes hooked on ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'', and is able to perfectly imitate [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi Suzumiya's]] voice while cosplaying as her (though as a bonus, both she and Haruhi have the same voice actress in both Japanese and English).

A lead singer during "Performance of [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]]" in Episode 15.

* ImageSong: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wfdCE3Obcg Koi no Minoru Densetsu]]", which is a parody of "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu" from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''.

* NoSenseOfDirection: During the BeachEpisode, Konata thought she was

* OnlySaneWoman: She's the most sane and normal of the main cast and probably the most normal a ''Lucky Star'' character can get. While she does have interests that can be considered "nerdy", as she's fond of light novels and scrolling shooter games, she's not a hardcore {{Otaku}} like Konata, Hiyori or Patty (who all have their various quirks and frequently compare things in real life to anime and games).

** She accidentally invokes this on herself in an episode. After being annoyed at the "Kagamin" nickname one too many times, she tells Konata to start calling her "Kagami-sama/Kagami the Great", thinking Konata wouldn't actually do it. [[GoneHorriblyRight She does.]]

* OnlySaneWoman: She's the most sane and normal of the main cast and probably the most normal a ''Lucky Star'' character can get. While she does have interests that can be considered "nerdy" (as she's fond of light novels and scrolling shooter games), she's not a hardcore {{Otaku}} like Konata, Hiyori or Patty.

* OnlySaneWoman: She's the most sane and normal of the main cast and probably the most normal a ''Lucky Star'' character can get. And in addition, she is somewhat of an AuthorAvatar of the creator himself, if sharing his name didn't give it away.

* CuteClumsyGirl: In fact, her clumsiness is part of what makes Konata consider her so adorable. Miyuki lampshades her own clumsiness in the first episode by mentioning how she often accidentally does things like cutting herself while peeling potatoes, falling on her face while running to board a train, getting her bag stuck as the train's doors close, etc. This ''does not mean'' that Miyuki has some kind of neuro-disorder; the reason why she is so clumsy is that she is too much focused on intellectual matters that she ends up spacing out. She even out-Konata'd Konata on freaking hard-level ''Minesweeper''.

* YuriFan: She watches ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'' and ''LightNovel/StrawberryPanic'', and bought some of Hiyori's Minami/Yutaka {{doujinshi}} at Comiket, although she's initially unaware that the latter ''was'' based on her otherwise innocent cousin.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Especially in the last episode. We get hints of it early on, such as when she tries to call out Konata and Tsukasa for doing the whole "voice warbling in the fan" routine, only for her Dad to cheerfully point out that she'd been doing it before Konata arrived.
* OnlySaneWoman: WordOfGod -- She's the most sane and normal of the main cast and probably the most a ''Lucky Star'' character can get. And in addition, she is somewhat of a genderbend insert of the creator himself, if sharing his name didn't give it away.

* EmbarrassingNickname: Konata calls her "Kagamin". Although it's meant be [[AffectionateNickname endearing]] [[{{Troll}} (usually)]], Kagami doesn't always appreciate it.
** She accidentally invokes this on herself in an episode. After being annoyed at the "Kagamin" nickname one too many times, she tells Konata to start calling her "Kagami-sama/Kagami the Great", thinking she wouldn't. [[GoneHorriblyRight She does.]]

%%* CryCute: Oh so very much.
