* AlliterativeName: Kyosuke Kamijo

* ActorAllusion: For her English voice actress KarenStrassman, who played Sawako Yamanaka, the teacher/mentor of [[ChristineMarieCabanos Madoka]], [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Homura]], and Hitomi (Shelby Lindley) in [[{{Keion}} K-On!]].

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Masculine Girl to Tomohisa's Feminine Boy because she's corporate ladder climber and he's a great cook.

* OfficeLady: Averted. She's clearly devoted to a career ''not'' just meant to support her until she gets married and settles down ([[CareerVersusFamily as is still very common for Japanese women]]). In this way her behavior is much more in-line with the average {{Salaryman}}.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She and Kazuko are the grown-up version.

%%* HotDad

* BrutalHonesty: In regards to [[spoiler:Kamijo]].

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

* DisabledLoveInterest: Sayaka's 'courtship' consisted of visiting him int eh library and listening to musci that he couldn't play himself anymore.
* DisabledMeansHelpless: This is what drove his mental state pre-healing because his disability is a CareerEndingInjury.
* IllBoy: Helping him recover is what drove Sayaka to making her wish. Kyoko told her to exploit this instead and make him depedent on her.

* PetTheDog: The scene from the PSP game where he shows Sayaka how to hold a violin after his accident shows how someone like him could have [[spoiler:both]] Sayaka [[spoiler:and Hitomi]] fall for him, .

* IllBoy : Helping him recover is what drove Sayaka to making her wish. Kyoko told her to exploit this instead and make him depedent on her.

* AlcoholicParent

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

** Plus there's her conversation with Madoka in the second last episode, in which she sternly tells her daughter to look out for herself and not be selfish, but listens to Madoka's arguments [[spoiler: and eventually allows her to leave the shelter.]]

* HappilyMarried: To Tomohisa.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
* HotMom

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Masculine Girl to Tomohisa's Feminine Boy.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* HappilyMarried: To Junko.
* HotDad
* HouseHusband

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Feminine Boy to Junko's Masculine Girl.
* {{Megane}}
* NiceGuy
* SatelliteCharacter: In relation to the rest of his family. He does get one heart-to-heart talk with his daughter, concerning Junko.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Averted. He and Madoka seem to get along quite well, [[spoiler:and he's also one of two people to be able to remember Madoka after she wiped herself out of existence]].
* BlushSticker
* CheerfulChild
* ChildrenAreInnocent: [[spoiler:According WordOfGod, this is the reason why Tatsuya still knows Madoka. He sees her among his family and because he still doesn't understand why she isn't supposed to exist, the universal LaserGuidedAmnesia doesn't work on him. As he grows up, he will gradually forget about it.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* TaremeEyes
* [[spoiler: WalkingSpoiler]]: [[spoiler: His most prominent role is the fact that he remembers Madoka, despite her sacrifice. It doesn't help that a lot of fanart of him has Goddess Madoka in them]].

* ClassRepresentative

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DistressBall: In episode 4 she catches one, and [[spoiler:is one of the people who got a "Witch's Kiss" that drove them into a PsychicAssistedSuicide. Madoka and Sayaka save her and the others.]]
** The same thing happens to her in ''A Different Story'', with a twist: [[spoiler: she apparently tells Sayaka about her feelings for Kyousuke before getting possessed by a Witch; when Sayaka comes across her later, she walks away without attempting to help her. Luckily for Hitomi, Mami is still there to rescue her. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone And Sayaka later is NOT happy about it]].]]

* [[spoiler:LoveTriangle]]: [[spoiler:Like Sayaka, she loves Kamijo. She's also the one [[PluckyGirl who actually takes the active role]]: when Sayaka doesn't confess to him despite Hitomi urging her to do so, she does it.]]
* MuggleBestFriend: To Madoka and Sayaka.
* NiceGirl

* TakeAThirdOption: Attempted when [[spoiler: instead of either renouncing to Kamijou or talking to him behind Sayaka's back, Hitomi tells Sayaka to confess first and adds that ''she'' will do it if Sayaka refuses]]. Needless to say, [[spoiler: it goes FromBadToWorse]].
* TownGirls: The Femme to Madoka's Neither and Sayaka's Butch.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Because she confessed to Kyosuke, [[BreakTheCutie the already troubled]] Sayaka [[FallenHero goes off the deep end and becomes a witch]], which leads to Kyoko's TakingYouWithMe MercyKill HeroicSacrifice, which means Homura has no-one to fight with against [[HeroKiller Walpurgisnacht]]... Until Madoka [[TakesAThirdOption takes her third option]].]]

* YamatoNadeshiko: She seems to be a developing one, being polite and soft-spoken and taking Japanese dance and tea ceremony classes.

* YouHave48Hours: More exactly: [[spoiler: "I'm sorry, Sayaka-san, but if you don't confess your love to Kamijou-kun in 24 hours, '''I''' will confess."]] It does not end well.

* AlliterativeName
* BerserkButton: Hearing "music (he) can't play" is a sore spot for him, to the point at which he accuses Sayaka of wanting to torture him.
* {{Bishounen}}: Kyosuke is a fairly young example, in particular in the anime, where his voice is actually more fitting for a younger boy.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DisabledLoveInterest
* DisabledMeansHelpless: This is pretty much what drove his mental state pre-healing.
* IllBoy
* InnocentlyInsensitive: [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Kyousuke_Kamijou#Kamijou.27s_Feeling_Towards_Sayaka Confirmed by the staff.]] He did care for Sayaka, but considered their relationship as PlatonicLifePartners as much. The whole [[spoiler:not telling her about leaving the hospital]] was less {{Jerkass}} behavior and more genuine obliviousness.
* KickTheDog: In Sayaka's own route, however, he sees [[spoiler:her in state of live decomposition (due to the distance of her soul gem), panics and calls her a ''disgusting monster'', mentioning how Hitomi is "the only one for him". His {{Squick}} reaction is somewhat understandable, but adding the line about Hitomi?]]
* ObliviousToLove: Sayaka didn't have time to get his side of the story, but the fact that he didn't bother to tell her [[spoiler:that he left the hospital]] says a lot. [[spoiler:And Hitomi has to spell out her interest in him later.]]

* PetTheDog: Though he's not a villain, Kamijo can be quite unknowingly cruel. The scene from the PSP game where he shows Sayaka how to hold a violin after his accident shows just how someone like him could have [[spoiler:both]] Sayaka [[spoiler:and Hitomi]] fall for him, though.
* SatelliteCharacter: His relevance to the plot mainly revolves around being Sayaka's crush.

* StepfordSmiler: He pretended to be more or less fine at first, but in episode 3 we start to see how badly damaged he is in the mental sense. [[spoiler:Becomes a full-blown HeroicBSOD in episode 4.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:The fact that Sayaka will do anything for him makes this apparent by the StartOfDarkness story arc. She did heal his arm, after all, but since he cannot see her love when he plays the violin after his hand is healed, this only amplifies her sadness.]]

* ChristmasCake: Much to her own dismay, and her bemoaning this often comes up during her lessons. The fact that her long time friend Junko already has a daughter (Madoka) old enough to be her student isn't helping either.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* FirstNameBasis: With Junko.
* {{Meganekko}}
* OlderThanSheLooks: If she and Junko are not far apart in age, this means Kazuko is at ''very'' least in her late twenties / early thirties. Yet she looks like a college-student, while Junko still looks young but a little more grown up.

* {{Sensei-chan}}

* JapaneseChristian

* NoNameGiven: But the [[AllThereInTheManual third drama CD]] reveals that Kyoko's sister is named Momo.
* [[spoiler:PaterFamilicide]]
* [[spoiler:{{Posthumous Character}}s]]
* PureIsNotGood <- -> TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Kyouko describes Minister Sakura in these terms [[spoiler:before he went mad and commited his PaterFamilicide.]] Confirmed in the third Drama CD, where he's portrayed as basically a NiceGuy [[spoiler: ''also'' right before [[FromBadToWorse it got worse]].]]

** She advises Madoka when she's worried about [[spoiler: Sayaka]], notices if her daughter is unhappy, and is generally cool. **Plus there's her conversation with Madoka in the final episode, in which she sternly tells her daughter to look out for herself and not be selfish, but listens to Madoka's arguments [[spoiler: and eventually allows her to leave the shelter.]]

->Voiced by: YukoGoto (JP), CarrieSavage (EN)

** ValuesDissonance: The "[[DisabledMeansHelpless you're helpless and a load on others if you're physically or mentally disabled]]" mentality is ''much'' stronger in Japan than in America. See ''AngelicLayer'' and how [[spoiler: Misaki's wheelchair-bound mother sends her to live with her aunt because she feels like "a useless mother" and thinks Misaki will be bullied for it]] for another example. And not to mention, well, he's a semi professional violinist ''with an injured wrist'', meaning that he is now at a loss of how to live his whole life from now on.
** Episode 4 shows him in rehab. His hand wasn't the only part of his body injured, judging by how he has difficulty walking as well.

* [[GoodParents Good Mother]]: She advises Madoka when she's worried about [[spoiler: Sayaka]], notices if her daughter is unhappy, and is generally cool. Plus there's her conversation with Madoka in the final episode, in which she sternly tells her daughter to look out for herself and not be selfish, but listens to Madoka's arguments [[spoiler: and eventually allows her to leave the shelter.]]
** And don't forget how she's seen at the border of an HeroicBSOD when [[spoiler: Sayaka dies and Madoka is utterly depressed.]] Junko blames herself ''heavily'' for that, and Kazuko has to talk her out of it.

* OfficeLady: Dresses the part, but doesn't seem to actually fit the trope, given that she's clearly devoted to a career ''not'' just meant to support her until she gets married and settles down ([[CareerVersusFamily as is still very common for Japanese women]]).
** Her behavior is actually much more in-line with the average {{Salaryman}}.

* [[spoiler:RippleEffectProofMemory]]: [[spoiler:Aside from Homura, he is the only one of two who remembers Madoka: he draws her figure on the ground and happily says her name when he sees Homura wearing Madoka's hair ribbons. Junko and Tomohisa believe that "Madoka" is his ImaginaryFriend, though. The reason why he still remembers her is because he can still see her, but he's too innocent to understand that she shouldn't exist, so when he grows up this trope will be averted.]]

* BrutalHonesty: In regards to [[spoiler:Kamijo]]. Does NOT end well.

->Voiced by: BanjoGinga (Kyouko's father), KikukoInoue (Kyouko's mother), Mami Shitara (Momo)

* [[spoiler:RippleEffectProofMemory]]: [[spoiler:Aside from Homura, he is the only one of two who remembers Madoka: he draws her figure on the ground and happily says her name when he sees Homura wearing Madoka's hair ribbons. Junko and Tomohisa believe that "Madoka" is his ImaginaryFriend, though. The reason why he still remembers her is because he can still see her, but he's too innocent to understand that she shouldn't exist.]]

Sayaka's friend and her crush. A wrist injury he received in an accident left him unable to play his beloved violin, and he drudges through a barely-hidden depression as he rehabilitates at the hospital. [[spoiler:Sayaka's wish in her Magical Girl contract is to heal his wrist.]]

* ChildrenAreInnocent: [[spoiler: According WordOfGod, this is the reason why Tatsuya still knows Madoka. He sees her among his family and because he still doesn't understand why she isn't supposed to exist, the universal LaserGuidedAmnesia doesn't work on him. As he grows up, he will gradually forget about it.]]

* [[spoiler: LaserGuidedAmnesia]]: [[spoiler:Averted. Aside from Homura, he is the only one of two who remembers Madoka: he draws her figure on the ground and happily says her name when he sees Homura wearing Madoka's hair ribbons. Junko and Tomohisa believe that "Madoka" is his ImaginaryFriend, though. The reason why he still remembers her is because he can still see her, but he's too innocent to understand that she shouldn't exist.]]

* ScarsAreForever: We get to see his injured hand in the manga. [[ScarsAreForever It's]] [[NightmareFuel not]] pretty.

* [[spoiler:ChekhovsGunman]]: [[spoiler:His hand is the StartOfDarkness for the new character arc.]]

* GoodScarsEvilScars: We get to see his injured hand in the manga. [[ScarsAreForever It's]] [[NightmareFuel not]] pretty.

* BreakTheCutie: One of the first signs in the series. How much more redundant can you get with a violinist whose hand is broken?

** The same thing happens to her in ''A Different Story'', with a twist: [[spoiler: she apparently tells Sayaka about her feelings for Kyousuke before getting possessed by a Witch; when Sayaka comes across her later, she walks away without attempting to help her. Luckily for Hitomi, Mami is still there to rescue her.]]

** ValuesDissonance: The "[[DisabledMeansHelpless you're helpless and a load on others if you're physically or mentally disabled]]" mentality is ''much'' stronger in Japan than in America. See ''AngelicLayer'' and how [[spoiler: Misaki's wheelchair-bound mother sends her to live with her aunt because she feels like "a useless mother" and thinks Misaki will be bullied for it]] for another example. And not to mention, well, he's a violinist ''with an injured wrist''...

** The disability was less about being a burden and more about not being able to do his favorite thing again.

* PureIsNotGood <- -> TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Kyouko describes her father in these terms [[spoiler:before he went mad and commited his PaterFamilicide.]] Confirmed in the third Drama CD, where he's portrayed as basically a NiceGuy [[spoiler: ''also'' right before [[FromBadToWorse it got worse]].]]

* PetTheDog: Though he's not a villain, Kamijo can be quite unknowingly cruel. The scene from the PSP game where he shows Sayaka how to hold a violin after his accident shows just how someone like him could have [[spoiler:both Sayaka and Hitomi fall for him]], though.
