* SweetTooth: Sweets can be her BerserkButton. If you eat her sweets, you make her either mad or depressed.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Averted. She thought that Fujioka is a Banchou, who wants to challenge her, and she doesn't like him at first. Kana seems to realize that he's not a {{Delinquent}} and considers him more or less a friend. But in ''Tadaima'' episode 5, when Fujioka acts like he feels hot because he wants to get an invitation to eat noodles with Kana, she misinterprets his actions as {{Delinquent}}-like and becomes afraid of him, especially when it looks like that he's fighting with Akira, but Fujioka is just asking him for advice.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her voice is usually deeper than her sisters', but there are some situations where her voice becomes higher. When she's acting like a {{Bishoujo}} character similar to Haruka, she pitches her voice much higher to fit the character.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Especially with her boyish clothes, most people assume she's a boy. She comes with a large share of "swooning [[UnsettlingGenderReveal confused females]]" (and possibly some "outright SchoolgirlLesbians", too), as evident from episode 7 of ''Okawari''. Given that she wears the female school uniform, there is really not much room for doubt. Judging by the dialogue in that scene, it's apparently less that they don't know her gender and more that she is ''just that manly'', making this a weird mish-mash of EvenTheGuysWantHim and EvenTheGirlsWantHer. And Fujioka thinks, she's a boy.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSatou
Eldest of the Minami sisters in second-year high school, Haruka serves as the sisters' mother figure. While infinitely reliable, likewise she can also be incredibly lazy when by herself. Her refined, gentle personality also makes people act more decently around her, including the normally snarky Chiaki.
----

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue
The middle sister and a second-year junior high schoolgirl, Kana is energetic, lively, and prone to acting and/or talking before thinking.
----
* ACupAngst: In episode 9, the sisters try on each other's school uniforms. Haruka wears Kana's, and notes that it still fits, while Kana angrily tells her to just say that its tight around the chest. A moment later, Chiaki tries on Kana's uniform as well, and notes that skirt is a bit loose, while the area around the chest is a perfect fit. Kana doesn't take those comments too well.
* BigEater: She is often stuffing her face with food or snacks at home.
* ButtMonkey: Usually towards Chiaki, and occasionally Haruka.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: There are hints she's smarter than her ditzy facade would otherwise imply, given her ability to [[TheGadfly troll]] and/or [[ManipulativeBitch manipulate]] others and come up with [[InsaneTrollLogic outright outlandish explanations]]. And her poor grades obviously come from her never-ending slacking, as lampshaded by Keiko, who points out that Kana just ''won't'' study. Kana thinks all she needs to get better grades is to [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} simply borrow Keiko's glasses]].
* ObliviousToLove: Poor, poor Fujioka.
* OneOfTheKids: Of Chiaki's elementary school.

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: "Fujioka", a stuffed bear named after Kana's classmate, with whom she feels some kinship.
* GiverOfLameNames: She is asked by her classmates to give everyone nicknames, since she had done it for the teachers. However, every name she gives them is unimaginative and/or incredibly embarrassing.
* {{Jerkass}}: Again, not all the time, but sometimes to perhaps even greater levels than Kana, to whom she can be unnecessarily harsh.

The middle brother of the other Minami family, Natsuki was a delinquent until Hosaka recruited him into the Men's Volleyball team. After an incident where he accidentally hugged/groped Haruka (in the manga and anime, respectively) and got beaten up for it, he started showing signs of embarrassment and/or affection whenever they're in the same location.
----

A third-year and captain of the Men's Volleyball team, famous for fantasizing in the middle of a crowd while unbuttoning his shirt and exposing his well-sculpted figure. He always proposes for Haruka to become the manager of his team.
----
* {{Bishonen}}
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* TheComicallySerious
* HotBlooded
* InstantExpert: He is able to become a SupremeChef shortly after taking up cooking. In season 4, he also takes up knitting, and by merely watching a fellow classmate knit and glancing at the knitting instructions, he is able to deduce the basics of it and starts knitting.
* LargeHam
* MrFanservice
* MrImagination: Often has an ImagineSpot regarding Haruka.
* {{Narcissist}}: Mistaken for this by some onlookers.
* NiceGuy: Easy to overlook, given his general weirdness, but the fact is that he honestly believes Kana & Chiaki are Haruka's children and this does ''nothing'' to change how he feels about her.
* SempaiKohai: Haruka and her friends' senpai.
* ShirtlessScene: Rather often during his {{Imagine Spot}}s. [[MrFanservice Not that anybody]] [[EvenTheGuysWantHim is complaining]].
* SupremeChef: Is quite a skilled cooker, but feels his skills aren't good enough for Haruka.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: He often follows Haruka around, doing whatever she's doing, or at least assisting her indirectly, such as cooking at a sports festival, or helping to clean up in a neighborhood cleaning day, even though he apparently doesn't live in the same area as they do.

A third-year and de facto captain of the Women's Volleyball team. Cunning and mischievous, she has a hobby of messing around with Hosaka and Haruka, and at times tries to fool her juniors into drinking alcohol disguised as high-grade "juice".
----
* TheGadfly: Hosaka is her favorite toy, but she likes to mess with most of her friends' heads for fun.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
* SempaiKohai: Haruka and her friends' sempai.
* ShipperOnDeck: Tries to hook up Haruka and Hosaka together. But her plans are usually foiled by someone, or something.

!!Fujioka
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_fujioka_353.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' TetsuyaKakihara
Kana's popular classmate and a football player. Despite his affections for Kana, the latter instead sees him as a rival (thanks to Chiaki misinterpreting his letters of confession), earning the nickname "Banchou", a name he reluctantly accepts. As time passed he becomes one of the most welcome guests of the sisters, and even becomes a brother-figure for Chiaki.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: To an extent.
* CoolBigBro: Has grown into this role towards Chiaki.
* CrazyJealousGuy: When in an ImaginaryLoveTriangle with Kana and Akira.
* DoggedNiceGuy[=/=]HopelessSuitor: To Kana.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The only one who doesn't know Touma is actually a girl.
* LoveConfession: He writes several love letters to Kana, and at one time even outright tells her he likes her. However, due to Chiaki's creative misinterpretation of the letters, along with her apparent ObliviousToLove mentality, his feelings go right over her head, and she seems woefully ignorant of his interest in her.
* NiceGuy
* RedBaron: "Banchou" ("Boss"), given to him by Kana.

!!Keiko

An honor student and classmate of Kana, as well as, oddly enough, friend (or at least an outlet of Kana and Riko's insanity).
----
* ButtMonkey: Tends to get dragged into Kana's escapades.
* FramesOfReference: Her round glasses and gentle shyness contrast with the angular lenses and stoic, detached manner of Haruo.
* OddFriendship: With Kana. Really odd.
* OnlySaneMan
* ShipperOnDeck: For Kana/Fujioka. Probably at least partially in hope of driving Kana's insanity away from herself.
* TheSmartOne
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: One of two characters to wear glasses, and the only one noted for academic achievement.
!!Riko
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_riko_7950.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ao Takahashi
Another of Kana's classmates. She has a crush on Fujioka, and only befriended Kana, who she sees as a rival, just so she can have a shot at him. She also has the same erratic, domineering personality as Kana.
----
* AlphaBitch: Has some shades of this, especially in the beginning. Her method of forcing Keiko to introduce her to the circle and wanting to use Kana to get to Fujioka would qualify.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Is quite jealous of Kana's apparent close relationship to Fujioka, despite the fact that they aren't dating.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Well, almost always.
* HopelessSuitor: To Fujioka, even more than he is for Kana.
* NotSoDifferent: Shares Kana's bossy, random behavior.

->'''Voiced by:''' RikaMorinaga
Chiaki's classmate and the "idiotic child" of Class 5-2. Because Chiaki instantly hated him for helping Haruka, with whom he has a crush on, cook dinner, his only way to safely enter the sisters' home is, at Kana's suggestion, through crossdressing and taking the alias "Mako-chan". So far only Kana, Yuka and Touma know of this.
----
* TheChewToy: He's never gonna be able to stop being a trap.
* DisguisedInDrag: Due to Chiaki's hostility towards him, he can't visit Haruka unless he's dressed up like a girl, hence his alter-ego when going there. For all of Chiaki's perceptions, she is [[FailedASpotCheck unable to recognize him]] in drag.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Even as his male self he still looks quite effeminate. Which makes crossdressing easier for him.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide
* NoIndoorVoice: He always seem a bit loud and energetic when talking.
* PaperThinDisguise: All he needs are a hairclip, a dress, and a different hairstyle, and Chiaki is still none the wiser.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: During the first episode of season 2, while taking the girls and their friends out on a drive, Haruka apologizes for taking up his time. He says he doesn't mind it, until Kana mentions that he wouldn't have anything better to do anyway. He suddenly starts swerving on the road a lot, causing Kana to apologize for her earlier remark.
!!Masumi Fuyuki
->'''Voiced by:''' Miho Saiki
A young boy who moves next door to the Minami sisters in ''Okawari'' (season 2). He is an anime-only character, having never appeared in the manga.
----
* NiceGuy: He is extremely helpful to others, and never seems to turn down requests. The latter part annoys Chiaki as she notices that even though he may not want to help, he does it anyway.
* MegaNekko
* PutOnABus: He leaves the show after one season. He also leaves rather unceremoniously, [[spoiler:with his dad picking him up in the middle of his and Chiaki's sports day festival.]]
* TheScrappy: He's not too well liked by many fans, as he's not very energetic, and always seems reluctant to join in on any activities by the other characters.
* ShipTease: A slight one with Chiaki, but it never pans out much, largely as Chiaki seems rather cold towards him.

->'''Voiced by:''' Tatsuya Hayama
The youngest brother of the other Minami family in first-year junior high school, Akira tends to be ignored by his older brothers in a conversation due to their age gap. He also has a thing for long-haired girls, such as Riko.
----
* AloofBigBrother: ...Yeah. If only for Touma.
* [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]]: To Chiaki.
* JustAKid: How his older brothers treat him.
* OnlySaneMan: Between his two rather detached {{Aloof Big Brother}}s and uninterested younger sister, he seems to have a hold of all the common sense in the family. Ignored by everyone, of course.
* TemporalThemeNaming: Like Chiaki, his name contains the kanji for "autumn".
* WholesomeCrossdresser: As "Aki-chan" whenever he's with Fujioka inside the Minami sisters' household.

->'''Voiced by:''' DaisukeOno
A third-year and captain of the Men's Volleyball team, famous for fantasizing in the middle of a crowd while unbuttoning his shirt and exposing his well-sculpted figure. He always proposes for Haruka to become the manager of his team.
----
* {{Bishonen}}
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* TheComicallySerious
* HotBlooded
* InstantExpert: He is able to become a SupremeChef shortly after taking up cooking. In season 4, he also takes up knitting, and by merely watching a fellow classmate knit and glancing at the knitting instructions, he is able to deduce the basics of it and starts knitting.
* LargeHam
* MrFanservice
* MrImagination: Often has an ImagineSpot regarding Haruka.
* {{Narcissist}}: Mistaken for this by some onlookers.
* NiceGuy: Easy to overlook, given his general weirdness, but the fact is that he honestly believes Kana & Chiaki are Haruka's children and this does ''nothing'' to change how he feels about her.
* SempaiKohai: Haruka and her friends' senpai.
* ShirtlessScene: Rather often during his {{Imagine Spot}}s. [[MrFanservice Not that anybody]] [[EvenTheGuysWantHim is complaining]].
* SupremeChef: Is quite a skilled cooker, but feels his skills aren't good enough for Haruka.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: He often follows Haruka around, doing whatever she's doing, or at least assisting her indirectly, such as cooking at a sports festival, or helping to clean up in a neighborhood cleaning day, even though he apparently doesn't live in the same area as they do.

!!Hayami
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_hayami_882.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' SaekoChiba
A third-year and de facto captain of the Women's Volleyball team. Cunning and mischievous, she has a hobby of messing around with Hosaka and Haruka, and at times tries to fool her juniors into drinking alcohol disguised as high-grade "juice".
----
* TheGadfly: Hosaka is her favorite toy, but she likes to mess with most of her friends' heads for fun.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
* SempaiKohai: Haruka and her friends' sempai.
* ShipperOnDeck: Tries to hook up Haruka and Hosaka together. But her plans are usually foiled by someone, or something.

!!Fujioka
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_fujioka_353.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' TetsuyaKakihara
Kana's popular classmate and a football player. Despite his affections for Kana, the latter instead sees him as a rival (thanks to Chiaki misinterpreting his letters of confession), earning the nickname "Banchou", a name he reluctantly accepts. As time passed he becomes one of the most welcome guests of the sisters, and even becomes a brother-figure for Chiaki.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: To an extent.
* CoolBigBro: Has grown into this role towards Chiaki.
* CrazyJealousGuy: When in an ImaginaryLoveTriangle with Kana and Akira.
* DoggedNiceGuy[=/=]HopelessSuitor: To Kana.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The only one who doesn't know Touma is actually a girl.
* LoveConfession: He writes several love letters to Kana, and at one time even outright tells her he likes her. However, due to Chiaki's creative misinterpretation of the letters, along with her apparent ObliviousToLove mentality, his feelings go right over her head, and she seems woefully ignorant of his interest in her.
* NiceGuy
* RedBaron: "Banchou" ("Boss"), given to him by Kana.
* SempaiKouhai: To Akira.
!!Keiko
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_keiko_1475.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' SaoriGoto
An honor student and classmate of Kana, as well as, oddly enough, friend (or at least an outlet of Kana and Riko's insanity).
----
* ButtMonkey: Tends to get dragged into Kana's escapades.
* FramesOfReference: Her round glasses and gentle shyness contrast with the angular lenses and stoic, detached manner of Haruo.
* OddFriendship: With Kana. Really odd.
* OnlySaneMan
* ShipperOnDeck: For Kana/Fujioka. Probably at least partially in hope of driving Kana's insanity away from herself.
* TheSmartOne
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: One of two characters to wear glasses, and the only one noted for academic achievement.
!!Riko
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_riko_7950.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ao Takahashi
Another of Kana's classmates. She has a crush on Fujioka, and only befriended Kana, who she sees as a rival, just so she can have a shot at him. She also has the same erratic, domineering personality as Kana.
----
* AlphaBitch: Has some shades of this, especially in the beginning. Her method of forcing Keiko to introduce her to the circle and wanting to use Kana to get to Fujioka would qualify.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Is quite jealous of Kana's apparent close relationship to Fujioka, despite the fact that they aren't dating.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Well, almost always.
* HopelessSuitor: To Fujioka, even more than he is for Kana.
* NotSoDifferent: Shares Kana's bossy, random behavior.
* RapunzelHair

!!Makoto/"Mako-chan"
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_makoto_2145.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' RikaMorinaga
Chiaki's classmate and the "idiotic child" of Class 5-2. Because Chiaki instantly hated him for helping Haruka, with whom he has a crush on, cook dinner, his only way to safely enter the sisters' home is, at Kana's suggestion, through crossdressing and taking the alias "Mako-chan". So far only Kana, Yuka and Touma know of this.
----
* TheChewToy: He's never gonna be able to stop being a trap.
* DisguisedInDrag: Due to Chiaki's hostility towards him, he can't visit Haruka unless he's dressed up like a girl, hence his alter-ego when going there. For all of Chiaki's perceptions, she is [[FailedASpotCheck unable to recognize him]] in drag.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Even as his male self he still looks quite effeminate. Which makes crossdressing easier for him.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide
* NoIndoorVoice: He always seem a bit loud and energetic when talking.
* PaperThinDisguise: All he needs are a hairclip, a dress, and a different hairstyle, and Chiaki is still none the wiser.
* PrecociousCrush: On Haruka.
* RatedMForManly: What he ''really'' wanted to become.
* ShipTease: With Chiaki. When he plays Mako-chan, it takes the form of a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship.

!!Yoshino
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minami-ke_yoshino_3228.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkiToyosaki
The third member of Chiaki's clique, who's pretty level-headed for a kid of her age. May also be wise to Makoto's cross-dressing nature.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Maybe. Not knowing for sure really messes with Mako-chan's head.]]
* NiceGirl
* OnlySaneMan
* YamatoNadeshiko: At ''ten years old!''

!!Takeru
->'''Voiced by:''' ShintaroAsanuma
An older cousin of the Minami sisters who occasionally drops round. Has a very unlucky love life.
----
* ButtMonkey
* DrivesLikeCrazy: During the first episode of season 2, while taking the girls and their friends out on a drive, Haruka apologizes for taking up his time. He says he doesn't mind it, until Kana mentions that he wouldn't have anything better to do anyway. He suddenly starts swerving on the road a lot, causing Kana to apologize for her earlier remark.
!!Masumi Fuyuki
->'''Voiced by:''' Miho Saiki
A young boy who moves next door to the Minami sisters in ''Okawari'' (season 2). He is an anime-only character, having never appeared in the manga.
----
* NiceGuy: He is extremely helpful to others, and never seems to turn down requests. The latter part annoys Chiaki as she notices that even though he may not want to help, he does it anyway.
* MegaNekko
* PutOnABus: He leaves the show after one season. He also leaves rather unceremoniously, [[spoiler:with his dad picking him up in the middle of his and Chiaki's sports day festival.]]
* TheScrappy: He's not too well liked by many fans, as he's not very energetic, and always seems reluctant to join in on any activities by the other characters.
* ShipTease: A slight one with Chiaki, but it never pans out much, largely as Chiaki seems rather cold towards him.
