* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She claims that the part of Joro she’s attracted to is the selfish “Hyde” persona he usually keeps hidden from others.

* HarmlessVillain: The only ManipulativeBastard in the cast that even Joro can outsmart easily.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: The reason she conscripts Joro into matchmaking Sun-chan and Pansy for her is that she thinks there’s a mutual attraction between them (it’s actually very one-sided) and that having a girlfriend would improve Sun-chan’s baseball performance, which means more attention for her. Her secret other agenda is that Sun-chan would get in the way between Pansy and Hose.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Tampopo thinks very highly of herself and has aspirations for even greater fame.

If they reject it (which they do), it becomes a roundabout way of being able to DumpThemAll without picking one over the other, which he knows would inevitably fracture the girls’ friendships with each other. In either case, he’s able to keep his promise of helping Pansy make some TrueCompanions.

KickTheDog: He has one in the OVA. Up until this point, he seems to be a fairly upbeat and likeable guy. He then asks to speak to Joro privately, and asks to modify their agreement. [[spoiler:He has an EvilAura around him, and says that whoever loses not only loses access to Pansy, but any of her friends as well. He then says he wants to destroy Joro and kick him while he's down while he's at it.]]
* GambitPileup
ManipulativeBastard: Hides behind a NiceGuy persona most of the time. But during the contest, he reveals his true nature to Joro, and turns out to be quite a JerkAss.
* GambitPileup: Tries to one up Joro by asking all of the girls attending the baseball game to give them their barrettes. Because he's normally a NiceGuy to them, they do it without knowing the motive.




* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Pansy and Himawari convinces her to let Hose know her true feelings for him, after revealing how they were in a similar situation with Joro.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: While she's obviously in love with Hose, she holds her feelings back since he's interested in Pansy.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: Joro deliberately does this to her in order to escape from her before she could call Hose. She hits him hard enough that he hits some recycle bins, knocking the cans down and forcing her to clean it up.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She gives one to Pansy, yelling about why he chose her, and how she can't move forward with him because of that.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Gives one to Hose after Pansy and Himawari relates their situation towards Joro and regretting not telling him how they felt sooner.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Like Cherry, she's also in love with Hose, but is holding back because she knows he likes Pansy. She even goes so far as to give her barrette to him, which would've ended the contest right there had both Hose and Joro not of been trying to OutGambit each other.
