[[folder:Professor Oka]]
An inventor with a poor reputation due to a previous failure with his Street Surfer. Completing his substory lets Ichiban and the party use Street Surfers for free.
----
* ButtMonkey: Boy howdy, is he ever. His substory even ends with a damaged Street Surfer exploding on him.
* {{Determinator}}: The man just refuses to give up on his Street Surfer, despite all the set backs - those being how often they blow up. Even after getting caught in the explosion of a damaged one, he just starts making notes to himself on what part was damaged and caused the explosion, planning to deal with that bug in the next model.
* FameThroughInfamy: Oka is mostly known through Hawaii because of his Street Surfer - and hated because of it, due to them blowing up when he first revealed them. His reputation is so bad that people actually attack him for it at the end of his substory.
* TheProfessor: A more classic example of this than Okita, who's more of a MadScientist. Oka's work is perfectly sound in concept and scope, the issue is that everything he builds tends to explode for one reason or another.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Ichiban actually ends up liking the Street Surfer a great deal after a trial run, and helps Oka out by both protecting him from punks, and finally telling him that his invention is indeed something amazing. Somewhat undercut by a damaged Street Surfer blowing up on him in the next moment.

[[folder:Raymond]]
A local lifeguard that Ichiban ends up helping in a string of substories on Aloha Beach.
----
* EmergencyServices: He's a lifeguard, so part of his job is rescue and emergency medical care.
* HeroismMotiveSpeech: Gives one to Ichiban explaining he started doing this job because he was inspired by a lifeguard who helped him as a child. By the end of his final substory, [[spoiler:Raymond ends up inspiring someone else the exact same way]].
* LargeHam: Almost to Shatner or Hasslehoff levels in the English dub - and considering his profession, the latter may have been an insperation. That said, despite his overly poetic speeches and boasting, he does take his job seriously and is otherwise not a terribly prideful person. He even makes sure to thank Ichiban for all his help every time he volenteers.
* TheRealHeroes: He's a lifeguard, and his profession is treated with a lot of respect. His substories even highlight the less glamorous parts of the job, like passing out water bottles to those who are showing signs of heat stroke. He takes these aspects of the job just as seriously as rescuing drowning victims, because it's still a way to save and protect lives.

Changed line(s) 533 (click to see context) from:
to:
[[folder:Nathan]]
A local TV director who runs a show interviewing Japanese tourists. A huge fan of Japanese culture, while comically not really understanding it beyond old samurai films.
----
* DualWielding: Breaks out two [[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]] to slash enemies when summoned as a poundmate.
* HumanNotepad: {{Played For Laughs}}. He has two tattoos on his arms of Japanese text, and clearly does not know what either actually means. The one on his left arm translates to "mosquito coil," and right arm to "parent teacher conference." A good indicator that Nathan doesn't really understand the culture he's so obsessed with.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He has nothing but love and respect for Japanese culture, but the way he envisions how Japanese people live is stereotypical at best and racist at worst, such as making Ichiban play darts with shuriken and expecting him to either commit {{Seppuku}} or [[{{Fingore}} yubitsube]] when he loses. He learns to see Japanese people as real individuals instead of fictional characters by the end of the substory.
* TheMovieBuff: A huge fan of old Japanese cimena, mainly samurai films. Name drops a few directors, even Creator/AkiraKurosawa.
* OccidentalOtaku: More due to a love for samurai cinema than anime, but he's very much of the same ilk.

[[folder:Bony Kashiwa]]
A Japanese action film director who's come to Hawaii to work on his latest film. Ichiban (unfortunately) acts as his stuntman for two substories.
----
* EccentricArtist: Kashiwa's stunt direction style is having stuntmen run through streets filled with explosions, cars, and massive trucks! It gets a great action scene, but he has also earned a poor reputation among stuntmen in the industry - and for good reason.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Ends up in one with a famous American director in his second substory, as the younger director is impressed by his practical stunt direction, and Kashiwa learns how CGI can compliment his directing style.
* ThePerfectionist: Kashiwa takes his directing very seriously, and god help anyone on staff who doesn't have the same insane drive for the perfect stunt that he has.
* PrimaDonnaDirector: Has quite a few shades of this, from his insane demands to his sudden switches from anger to joy. That said, he does seem to care about his crew, he just don't express it well - that and his demands are genuinely life threatening.
* StuffBlowingUp: Summoning him as a poundmate has him detonate explosions all over the area.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: It's never stated outright if Tony has a romantic crush, but [[spoiler:his entire lemonade stand business was so he could give a final goodbye gift to a woman who meant a lot to him before she leaves Hawaii with her fiance]].
* LemonadeStandPlot: Tony's story revolves around his lemonade stand and [[spoiler:the money he's trying to raise to get a woman he cares deeply for a goodbye present before she leaves Hawaii]].

[[folder:Kuroki]]
A photographer of so-called "sickos" who introduces Ichiban to the Sicko Snap game.
----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Kuroki is easily mistaken as one of the sickos he photographs due to how excited he gets about the prospect of taking shots, but he is a legitimately great photographer and is doing a public service by using his photography to help the police to locate and identify the perverts he snaps.
* CameraFiend: He's a professional photographer who spends most his time in Hawaii riding the tram to get pictures of sickos. He even shares his love of his craft with Ichiban.
* EccentricArtist: The man is passionate about his photography and the subject of said photography, to the point he gets mistaken for being a sicko himself.
* ThePeepingTom: Averted, but commonly mistaken as one for understandable reasons. He really, really likes snapping sickos.
