History Characters / NintamaRantarou

* CatSmile

* BerserkButton: Losing to Rantarou in running causes him to sulk and sad, yelling at others when they talk to him, and it's definitely NOT comedic either.

* {{Tsundere}}: Most of the time, he's the sweet type. He can be quite prideful, but he still appreciates compliments.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: He has long dark purple hair (black, in the manga) and pale skin. Played straightest when he's cross-dressing

* Crossdresser: Basically all the characters crossdress at some point, but Senzou is the most talented at it.

* FieryRedhead: PlayedWith. He has reddish hair and gets angry at times, though he seems to be rather mature in most of his appearances.

* FieryRedhead: He has reddish hair and gets angry at times.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Denshichi is so smart that his grades are higher and have good looks, something that other students are lacking a bit. While not to the extent as the upperclassmen, he still goes out of his way to show off these qualities to the main trio.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Not to the extent as the upperclassmen, but he goes out of his way to show off his intelligence towards the main trio mostly.

After more than twenty years of airing, Nintama Rantarou's cast is enormous.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: He's male yet he looks AND sounds like a female teenager. His physical appearance and voice said so.

* AlphaBitch: Played straight, but male version. He takes great pride to mock and look down on other students, particularly the main trio, though unlike most of the examples, he isn't cruel or malicious.

* NiceGuy: Out of all of his classmates, he's definitely the nicest person and unlike his friends, he isn't always showing off his pride that much.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: He has long yet silky dark purple hair (black, in the manga) and pale skin. Played straightest when he's cross-dressing

%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy

* TheChewToy: Poor dude never catch a break, unable to prevent himself from actually seeing Shinbei and Kisanta and is stuck with them. No wonder he didn't take this lightly.
%%* MadBomber: ^
* DemolitionsExpert: Senzou is not only talented with bombs, but he is skilled at making them too
* Crossdresser: Basically all the characters crossdress at some point, but Senzou is the most talented at it

* RedOniBlueOni: Typically the boastful and narcissistic Red to Kihachirou's quiet and chill Blue

* BreakTheCutie: Downplayed. There aren't any moments where he is traumatized nor emotionally broken in anyways. However, he does show his insecure and sad expression, to the point of lashing out and venting his frustration at others. This is rather blatant when he seems to be upset about losing to Rantarou in running and because of this, he sulks a lot and pushes others away. Despite this, his friends always cheer him up, including the dokutamas as well. Only one particular episode that plays with this trope. See BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor above.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Even though he comes off as a loud and proud person, he nonetheless has a heart of gold and forms friendships with other students, including Class Ha so far. In fact, unlike most of the leader bullies, who hurt others for no reason and tend to boss their own posse around, Denshichi is very empathetic, deeply cares for his posse and friends and even helping other students, like upperclassmen and teachers. In fact, he and his own posse have more hidden depths than those typical mean students who mercilessly bully others, making him one of the few genuinely good people and is far from being a bossy and toxic jerkass.

* Keet: He's more energetic than his two best friends, who can flip-flop between being energetic and serious.

* Keet: He's just like Shinbei, very happy and energetic.

* ButtMonkey: Even moreso than the trio. This boy always gets hurt, scared shitless, and cries a lot whenever he is involved into practical situations, for comedic purposes.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Even though he comes off as a loud and proud person, he nonetheless has a heart of gold and forms friendships with other students, including Class Ha so far. In fact, unlike most of the leader bullies, who hurt others for no reason and tend to treat their own posse like trash, Denshichi is very empathetic, deeply cares for his posse and friends and even helping other students, like upperclassmen and teachers.

* Didn'tThinkThisThrough: In season 11 episode 44, He wants to become as serious as possible since smiling doesn't make him a good ninja and ask Shadou-sensei to give advice and be a ninja role model for him. It did not go well as expected.
