* CastHerd: Usagi and her class form a cast herd that gets a lot of focus early on, mostly Naru, Umino, and Haruna, with Yumiko, Kuri, and a bunch of background students to fill it out. Usagi, Naru, and Umino are a sub-herd in the form of TwoGuysAndAGirl. In later episodes, it was reduced to just Naru and Umino as ThoseTwoGuys and a minor OfficialCouple.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Gradually, everyone at this school except Usagi, Ami, and Makoto vanished. In Haruna's case, it's justified (see below), and many fans assume that Naru and Umino went to a different high school, but there's no explanation for what happened to students who didn't appear after the first season.
* DemotedToExtra: It's more noticeable in the '90s anime where Usagi's class appeared much more in early episodes, but they all started appearing less and less as the other Sailor Guardians joined Usagi. Naru and Umino made it to the fourth season, but only made sporadic appearances starting in the Black Moon arc.
* DesignatedVictim: In the early episodes, enemy plots tended to involved at least one person from Usagi's school, whether directly or indirectly.
* FourGirlEnsemble: Usagi and her non-Sailor girlfriends form one at the start of the series before her teammates show up. Usagi is the sweetly naïve one, Yumiko is the pretty, fashionable one, Kuri is the masculine one, and Naru is the wise and admirable one.
* FourManBand: The four (original) main characters in Usagi's class fit the roles pretty well during the first anime season.
** OnlySaneMan: Naru (levelheaded, serves as a foil to her class' antics).
** TheSmartGuy: Umino (KnowNothingKnowItAll nerd who flaunts his top grades).
** CasanovaWannabe: Haruna (obsessed with finding a husband).
** ButtMonkey: Usagi (clumsy and ditzy LoserProtagonist).
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Usagi and her girlfriends:
** Sanguine: Usagi (cheerful, energetic, fun-loving).
** Choleric: Yumiko (blunt and passionate).
** Melancholic: Kuri (studious and critical).
** Phlegmatic: Naru (kind, thoughtful, easy to get along with).
* JuniorHigh: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It says so in the name]]. The school covers grade seven though nine, the norm for Asian countries like Japan.
* {{Muggles}}: Three of the school's students are Sailor Guardians, but, other than three temporary students who only appeared in the '90s anime (Ail, An, and Ryo), the rest of the students and teachers have no magic powers at all.
* OutOfFocus: Around midway through the first season, the characters at Usagi's school were used less and less, despite how important Usagi's school life seemed to be to the story early on, and even despite the fact that two of her new teammates went to the same junior high.
* SailorFuku: The girl's uniform at this school. In fact, Sailor Moon's outfit is basically [[ColorCodedSecretIdentity a modified version of this particular sailor fuku's design]].
* SocialCircleFiller: Usagi's class mostly exists to show that she's got a lot of friends at the start of the series before the others show up. However, Naru, Umino, and Haruna were given a fair bit of focus and development in the original anime.
* TwoTeacherSchool: Haruna is Usagi's teacher and... that's all we ever see. Unless you count a one-shot first anime-exclusive home economics teacher.

'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Chieco Kawabe\\
'''Portrayed in the musicals by''': Yuka Yamauchi
Usagi's original friend from her junior high school who is friendly, sweet and always by Usagi's side. She is featured more in the [[SailorMoon/TropesTwo '90s anime]] than in the manga, given new character arcs that weren't in the manga, such as falling in love with Nephrite. She is also very popular in school with the students because her mother owns a jewellery shop, but her friendship with Usagi drifts away and becomes closer friends with Umino, before being written out of the story completely.
----
* AcademicAthlete: According to Usagi, she is smart (known to get above-average grades in school) and she also seems to have some athletic ability. The original anime shows playing tennis with her CoolBigSis Rui, but the albums say that volleyball is her sport of choice.
* AccentAdaptation: Her original English dub counterpart "Molly" has a thick New York accent.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The dynamic with Nephrite and Naru in TheNineties anime. Naru knows he isn't a good person and is aware that he has tried to use her, particularly since he tells her as much. Yet she admits to a worried Usagi that she can't help loving him. Then Nephrite turns out to not be a monster... [[RedemptionEqualsDeath only to die in her arms]].
* AscendedExtra: In the first season of the '90s anime and the live-action, she has a bigger role than in the manga.
* BadassNormal: Despite how often she gets targeted by the villains, Naru has quite a number of achievements listed in the "Moments of Awesome" page.
* BetaCouple: With [[spoiler:Umino]] during the first two seasons once they get together. After that, Haruka and Michiru displace them in the role as they get DemotedToExtra.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a very nice person, but she can be pushed too far when it comes to [[InnocentlyInsensitive Umino's thoughtlessness]]. Also, she has attempted to protect both of her love interests from enemy attacks.
* BigNo: Lets out a few of these when Nephrite dies.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The redhead to Usagi's blonde and Umino's brunet.
* BreakTheCutie: The deal with [[spoiler: Nephrite]] sends her into an HeroicBSOD and it takes her a while to get better.
* BridalCarry: In the first anime, the villain Nephrite does this with Naru after he rescues her from Zoisite, which is what starts his HeelFaceTurn.
* ButtMonkey: Of the DesignatedVictim variety. In her case, it's not played for laughs, especially considering how her storyline with Nephrite turned out.
* TheCameo: In the manga and ''Crystal'', after the end of the Dark Kingdom arc, her appearances tended to be minor cameos.
* CharacterDevelopment: Happens twice:
** She TookALevelInBadass to tell off the Senshi for not having faith in her belief in Nephrite's goodness, and managed to get him to reform voluntarily. Later, after grieving, she managed to [[spoiler:move on from him]].
** Naru starts dating Umino without the Nephrite angst and concludes on her own that Usagi is involved with the week's happenings. Instead of confronting Usagi about it, she reassures her they'll see each other at school the next day after a huge battle with the Black Moon clan.
* CosmicPlaything: In the original anime. Fans have theorized that she has some kind of innate ability to attract trouble. If it's not enough that she's the WeirdnessMagnet and the DesignatedVictim, right after she finds love with Nephrite, [[spoiler:he gets killed]]. Nephrite even concludes that she attracts youma because of her bond with Sailor Moon. And when the other girls show up, they gradually push Naru out of Usagi's life. In fact, the only reason she stops being a victim later on is that their longtime friendship is torn apart and keeps her out of the way. It's almost as if the universe was toying with her to get her away from Usagi.
* DamselInDistress: She needs to be saved from a MonsterOfTheWeek attack fairly regularly.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Although she is DemotedToExtra in the Black Moon arc, she does get two focus episodes later:
** The sixth episode of the third season focuses on Naru and Umino's relationship problems and has them enter and win a couples contest to prove their love for each other.
** In the fourth episode of the fourth season, Tiger's Eye targets Naru for her Dream Mirror and causes more problems in her relationship with Umino.
* DemotedToExtra: Ever since the end of the Alien arc of season R. And she and Umino were ''still'' luckier than Yumiko and Kuri, who never made it past the original series. Averted in the live-action; it's as if she knew that she was gonna be replaced as Usagi's BFF and struggled not to let that happen.
* DesignatedVictim: She '''always''' seems to attract a MonsterOfTheWeek within minutes of appearing on screen, probably because she is one of Usagi's only [[{{Muggles}} non-superpowered]] friends. The very first episode of ''Sailor Moon R'' even had Luna and Artemis BreakingTheFourthWall to comment on the frequency of her being attacked by monsters.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Lemons. Thanks to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums, she and Haruna are the only civilians who get the same level of AllThereInTheManual stats as the heroines.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names her Molly Baker.
* {{Expy}}: Of Hikaru from ''Manga/CodenameSailorV''. Both are the MuggleBestFriend of the main character.
* FieryRedhead: Subverted, she's more of TheCutie, though she ''did'' have two or three moments.
* FourGirlEnsemble: With Usagi, Yumiko and Kuri early on. She appears to be the wisest and most admirable one of the group.
* FromDressToDressing: After Nephrite is attacked in the '90s anime, she uses a piece of her pajamas to make a bandage for him. After [[spoiler:he dies and disappears]], she keeps the bandage until giving it to Umino, [[spoiler:symbolizing how she is moving on to him]].
* GenreSavvy: Poor Naru gets attacked so many times that by season two, she seems to have figured out that her role in the story is being the DesignatedVictim. She's actually wary when she gets invited to an audition. And rightfully so because she got attacked again.
* TheGhost: In the musicals. She did not appear at all in the musicals' original run, although she was mentioned in the first musical by Nephrite regarding his love for her. Finally averted as of 2018 when she finally appears onstage in the [=Nogizaka46=] musical.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's mostly the girly girl to Usagi's tomboy, but also has some tomboyish traits like playing tennis and occasional {{Tsundere}} moments.
* GoThroughMe: Usagi once tried to use her tiara attack against Nephrite but had to stop the attack when Naru put herself between them because of her love for him.
* HeroicBSOD: Goes through a bit of one in episode 22 because he shows her both affection and coldness and doesn't know whether or not his feelings are genuine.
* HeroicBystander: In both the first series and S, trying to get the energy-sucking plant out of [[spoiler:Nephrite]] despite being affected by them herself and then trying to protect [[spoiler:Umino]] from a MonsterOfTheWeek which was after his Pure Heart.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Usagi, before she gets {{demoted to extra}}.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: In the seventh episode of the original anime, she and Usagi sing the theme song, but are badly off-key.
* HumanShield: Tries to act like one for Nephrite when Sailor Moon tries to attack him.
* InSpiteOfANail: At the end of the first season after everything is reset, [[spoiler:Naru and Umino still became a couple without the Nephrite arc]].
* InvisibleParents: The only reason we know her father exists is that Naruru mentions using his credit card in "Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary".
* TheLancer: To Usagi at the start, since she is initially her closest friend and foil.
* LightningGlare: She and Usagi do this to each other in one episode of the original anime.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Doesn't know of Usagi's identity as Sailor Moon, though [[spoiler:she ''may'' have [[SecretKeeper become aware of it]] in the R season. At the very least, she knows she is part of something important and that Usagi doesn't want Naru to ask what. Which Naru accepts.]]
* MoralityPet: In the '90s anime, she becomes one for [[spoiler:Nephrite, triggering his RedemptionEqualsDeath.]]
* MuggleBestFriend: To Usagi. They have been best friends for some time before Usagi awakens as Sailor Moon, and Naru has no magic powers.
* NiceGirl: She is very sweet, kind and caring to all of her friends.
* OfficialCouple: In the '90s anime with [[spoiler:Umino]], once they get their RelationshipUpgrade.
* OnlySaneWoman: Seems to be the most normal and well-adjusted member of her social circle. It's not that hard to be this when your two closest friends are {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s.
* OrangeBlueContrast: Whether it's her orange hair contrasting against her eyes, bow and school uniform or her casual clothes with an orange top against a blue skirt and leggings, this is her color combination most of the time.
* OrWasItADream: At the end of the first episode, Naru tells Usagi all about the "dream" she had about being saved from a monster by a beautiful warrior.
* OutOfFocus: Pretty much all the civilian cast went this route, but Naru probably got hit the hardest. In the early episodes of the first anime, she was a semi-major character, as Usagi's best friend, but by the second season, she almost disappeared once Usagi started hanging out with the Sailor Guardians and she lost her importance.
* PajamaCladHero: In the episode "Naru's Tears: Nephrite Dies for Love" Naru/Molly is kidnapped at night while she was sleeping. For the remainder of the episode, she is stuck in her pajamas and barefoot. Once she is rescued by Nephrite, she notices his arm is injured. To help him, she rips off part of her pajama shirt and ties it around his arm.
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type AB. Like a lot of characters with this type, she's very rational and sociable, but her personality is a bit hard to pin down (though in her case it's partly because she's so out of focus and underdeveloped).
* PluckyGirl: Becomes one whenever things get serious about her friends, even if it means she might get hurt. And since Naru is a muggle, it's all the more epic when she does it. For example, she refuses to back down from her CoolBigSis Rui the tennis player when Rui's acting all aggressive and threatening from Nephrite's spell.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Worn as her casual clothes in the '90s anime.
* SayMyName: Cries out Nephrite's name as [[spoiler:he dies]] in episode 24 .
* SecondLove: For [[spoiler:Umino once he gets over his unrequited crush on Usagi]], who was also ''her'' second love after what happened to Nephrite.
* SecretKeeper: In ''Crystal'', it's all but stated that she knows it and the Sailor Senshi know she knows, as Mamoru tells them to deal with a Daimon in her presence.
* SecretSecretKeeper: It is heavily implied during R/the Black Moon arc that Naru had figured out Usagi's identity as Sailor Moon since she knows that Usagi is part of something unusual and important, but that Usagi doesn't want her to ask about it, so she complies as to not put pressure on her.
* SiblingYinYang: ''Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary'' introduces her elementary school sister Naruru, a flashy and tanned {{Cosplay Otaku|Girl}} GyaruGirl who's rather popular with boys. This is entirely in contrast with Naru, who's a rather plain girl and more conservatively dressed.
* SignatureHeadgear: Always wears her trademark hairbow.
* SignificantBirthDate: She was born on New Year's Day. Contrast Usagi who was born midway through the year.
* SocialCircleFiller: In the manga and ''Crystal'' mostly where she serves to give Usagi a best friend before the other Sailor Guardians come along. Less so in the '90s anime and the live-action where her role is increased and lengthened.
%% * SpoiledSweet: According to the first episode of ''Crystal'', Naru is intelligent, popular, and has wealthy parents, and she's nice and down to Earth.
* StraightMan: Often plays the sensible and serious one to balance out the goofy antics of Usagi and Umino.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Naru inherited a lot of her features, such as her hair and eye colors, from her mother.
* ThoseTwoGuys: She and Umino become this after the other Sailor Guardians start showing up.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Usagi's tomboy, despite Usagi not being ''that'' boyish.
* TooGoodToBeTrue: She says this in the first episode. Her mother is oddly into selling the store's expensive jewelry at high discounts. Good for business but odd. It turns out that Morga replaced her mother and the real jewels with clever fakes that steal the customers' energy.
* TownGirls: The neither to Kuri's butch and Yumiko's femme.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Stewed food, according to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums.
* TroubledFetalPosition: Naru is seen twice like this. The first time she's sitting on the bottom of a slide on such a position, as she and Usagi discuss Sanjoin/Nephrite's actions against Naru. The second, she's cutrling up in her bedroom after [[spoiler: Nephrite's RedemptionEqualsDeath]] as Usagi and Umino try to comfort her.
* TrueBlueFemininity: In the first anime, she is no more or less likely to wear blue than any average teen (she only wears it often because of her school uniform), but ''Crystal'' settled on a blue hairbow for her rather than switching colors all the time.
* {{Tsundere}}: Very light Type B, towards [[spoiler: Umino]] after they become a couple.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: With Usagi and Umino before Usagi stops hanging out with them.
* UnexplainedAccent: It's never clear why a girl who lives in Tokyo would have a New York accent.
* UnfazedEveryman: Being best friends with Sailor Moon and a victim or witness of so many attacks, she has become this regarding the Sailor Guardians and youma.
* WeirdnessMagnet: She is the victim of more enemy attacks than any other civilian.
* YankTheDogsChain: After being attacked so many times, Nephrite was the one good thing that came out of her being Sailor Moon's MuggleBestFriend, but [[spoiler:he gets killed]] shortly afterwards. At least her next relationship worked out much better.

[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/umino01.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:221:[[labelnote: Click to see him in the 90s anime]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/umino00.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KeiichiNanba (original series), Creator/DaikiYamashita (''Crystal'') (JP), Roland Parliament ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/BenDiskin (Viz) (EN), Isabel Wolmar (PT), Genaro Vásquez ([=LatAm=]\\
'''Portrayed in the musicals by''': Marina Tanoue
He's the tousle-haired [[TwoGirlsAndAGuy friend of Usagi and Naru]] who is a student at their junior high school. He is a bespectacled nerd who is a goofball and a clever student with excellent grades. He nursed a crush on Usagi at first, and tried several ways to impress her (such as memorably trying to be a bad boy), but then grew out of it much later.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** While still the short guy with SpikyHair and OpaqueNerdGlasses, his face shape and haircut look more akin to the standard character designs of the other characters than to the more cartoonish, round-faced [[MessyHair messy-haired]] kid he is in the manga and 90's anime.
** In the [=Nogizaka46=] Musical, Umino, as portrayed by Marina Tanoue, forgoes the OpaqueNerdGlasses for standard NerdGlasses and has a more EndearinglyDorky look to him compared to his drawn counterparts.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Both anime series give him brown hair. It's blonde in the manga.
* AdaptedOut: Does not appear in the live-action.
* AmusingInjuries: He receives a lot of these in the original anime. For example, after he insensitively brings up Naru's lost love, Usagi punches him in the head and knocks him right to the floor. He immediately gets up unscathed.
* AscendedExtra: Like Naru, his role is somewhat bigger in the '90s anime.
* BeautifulAllAlong: In the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] the Sailor Senshi wonder if this trope would apply to Umino if he removed his specs, complete with a {{Bishonen}} Umino ImagineSpot. [[WordOfGod According to]] Creator/NaokoTakeuchi, the trope does indeed apply to Umino too.
* BetaCouple: With [[spoiler:Naru]] during the first two seasons once they get together. After that, Haruka and Michiru displace them in the role as they get DemotedToExtra.
* TheBGrade: In the first episode/act, he reveals that he only got a 95 on a test, which to him is a big disappointment.
* {{Bishonen}}: [[WordOfGod Apparently]], Umino is a handsome young man when he takes off his glasses. You wouldn't believe he can remove them, seeming how it's like they're stuck to his face.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The brunet to Usagi's blonde and Naru's redhead.
* BookSmart: Despite his annoying and goofy personality, he gets excellent grades.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The second episode of the original anime had a youma disguised as a fortune teller cast a spell on him that makes him go crazy with love and do things even he wouldn't dare do.
* BrainyBrunette: Has brown hair in both anime series and is a brainy nerd.
* ButtMonkey: His friends and classmates tend to treat him this way in earlier episodes because they find him so annoying.
* TheCameo: In the manga and ''Crystal'', after the end of the Dark Kingdom arc, his appearances tended to be minor cameos.
* ChivalrousPervert: At least before he gets a girlfriend. He fantasizes about the women in his life, is not above hitting on them, but seems to genuinely care about them and wouldn't hurt them on purpose. The only time he ever crosses a line is the skirt-flipping incident with Haruna and that only happened while he was under an evil spell.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Is undoubtedly the strangest of Usagi's non-Sailor friends. He says and does some pretty odd things, like describing getting his hand caught in a leather purse as him being bitten by an alligator.
* CoatHatMask: His attempt at imitating Tuxedo Mask. It counts because his OpaqueNerdGlasses cover his eyes the same way as any mask would.
* CompositeCharacter:
** Possibly in the original English manga releases. Chibi-Usa's nerdy classmate Sorano was also called Melvin (they share the same given name in the Japanese version, but the translators likely didn't know that because he was only ever called Sorano in the manga itself). Aside from a difference in height, the two look almost identical in the manga, so it was easy enough to pass them off as the same character.
** With Motoki in the live-action. He didn't appear in that series, so his role as the awkward and comical friend was given to Motoki.
* CrazyJealousGuy: After he starts dating [[spoiler:Naru]], he acts this way about her to a mild extent.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He may act like a goofy {{Cloudcuckoolander}} in his everyday life, but when the chips are down, he will do anything to protect the one he loves.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Although he is DemotedToExtra in the Black Moon arc, he and Naru become the focus of one Death Busters episode where they enter a couples contest and he is targeted for his Pure Heart Crystal.
* DemotedToExtra: Along with Naru after the first season. They start as Usagi's closest friends, only to be sidelined and reduced to ThoseTwoGuys when the other Sailor Guardians show up.
* DistressedDude: Is one of the victims of the week in the third season targeted for his Pure Heart Crystal.
* DitzyGenius: Gets almost perfect grades in school without really trying, yet when it comes to anything outside of school, he rarely shows any common sense.
* DivingSave: Does this for Naru in episode 26 of the first season, then jumps in the way to protect her again in S (after which she gets in the way, trying to protect him).
* DoggedNiceGuy: For Usagi. By the time he falls for [[spoiler:Naru]] though, he [[CharacterDevelopment drops the most annoying traits.]]
* DraggedIntoDrag: Naru convinces him to wear a pink dress for their talent act in the seventh episode of the '90s anime.
* DrowningMySorrows: Parodied in ''Super S'', when he [[DrunkOnMilk attempts it with milkshakes]]. Chibi-Usa's grossed out face says all.
* DrunkOnMilk: When Naru gets manipulated into dating Tiger's Eye, he tries this with a bunch of milkshakes. Chibi-Usa is grossed out and lampshades the whole thing, even pointing out that typically, people drown their sorrows on sake.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names him Melvin Butlers.
* {{Expy}}: In the forerunner series, ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', Minako had an otaku pal named Amano who is identical to him, though Amano is much more proactive and able to aide Sailor V on several occasions.
** He has an in-universe example as he is the [[GenderFlip Gender-Flipped]] {{body double}} of Princess D.
* ExtravertedNerd: Indubitably a nerd, but very outgoing and talkative with shades of the CasanovaWannabe (although this aspect disappears after he gets a girlfriend).
* EveryoneHasStandards: He may hit on girls, but Umino is mortified to learn that he committed sexual harassment and vandalism when he was brainwashed.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Early on, the girls only tolerate his annoying ways, though they let him hang around with them anyway. In the '90s anime, they warm up to him a little once he starts dating [[spoiler:Naru]]. Played straight in the Manga and ''Crystal'', every time he shows up onscreen has at least one person getting angry at his mere presence.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: After Usagi sees how attractive Princess D is without her glasses, she wonders ([[spoiler:correctly]]) if the same would hold true for Umino.
* GossipyHens: Male version. He'll often gossip along with his female friends about new arrivals and events in town.
* HeroicBystander: In both the first series and ''S'', he tries to defend Naru from a MonsterOfTheWeek. The second time, the monster was specifically targeting ''him''.
* HeroicWannabe: Tries to emulate Tuxedo Mask by dressing like him and calling himself Tuxedo Umino Mask in order to protect Naru. While he's no match for the monster, you gotta admire his spirit about it.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: For example, when Usagi and Umino went to visit Naru [[spoiler:after Nephrite's death]], Umino casually said, "I thought you didn't go to school because you were sick, but I see it was just heartbreak," resulting in Usagi hitting him. Once they gone out, he didn't take (or didn't seem anyway) into consideration Naru's feelings. Later on, however, he hinted to have felt bad because of this trope. Thanks to CharacterDevelopment, he became a bit less of this trope later on. In the same scene, he tried to comfort Naru... by mentioning [[spoiler:Nephrite's disappearance.]]
* InSpiteOfANail: At the end of the first season after everything is reset, [[spoiler:Naru and Umino still became a couple without the Nephrite arc]].
* InsufferableGenius: One of the top students in his class, he isn't above flaunting his grades to his friends.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: A nerdy/bespectacled/non-athletic guy whose close friends all seem to be girls. He's into things like gossip, doesn't hide his romantic notions and at one point in the '90s anime he even dons a pink dress.
* {{Keet}}: He's pretty excitable in telling his buddies about stuff he's experienced, [[TheFriendNobodyLikes much to their annoyance]]. Even after he gets a RelationshipUpgrade with [[spoiler:Naru]], he still doesn't give up his excitable ways.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He is an academic genius, but he often acts like he also knows a lot more outside of school than he really does, and he tries to keep his friends up to date about things whether they want to hear it or not.
* LargeHam: His Viz dubs voice actor Ben Diskin is known for playing these.
* LastNameBasis: Umino is his surname, but that's what everyone calls him.
* MessyHair: Not like bedhead-messy, but his hair doesn't seem to lay down.
* MindControlEyes: Glowing yellow ones, from the first time he was a victim to the monster of the week.
* MrExposition: Early on, he would often be the one to talk about new events, people and places that would turn out to be related to the adventure of the week.
* MuggleBestFriend: To a lesser extent than Naru, but he does sometimes share this role with her for Usagi.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After being saved from being brainwashed in the second episode, he feels pretty bad about what he did while brainwashed, even though he wasn't in control of himself.
* MythologyGag:
** When Viz redubbed episode 7, while crossdressing, Umino talks like [=DiC=]'s "Molly", Brooklyn accent and all.
** In the ''other'' episode 7 (''Crystal''), when Umino tells Usagi, Ami, and Makoto that he was going to catch Sailor Moon, he's blacked out into a silhouette, leaving only his eyes and mouth glowing yellow. This is much like how Professor Souichi Tomoe appeared in the third season of the first Sailor Moon series.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: The time where he tries to protect Naru as Tuxedo Melvin, he gets tossed aside easily by the monster.
* NerdsAreSexy: Although he is a more stereotypical nerd, his glasses hide just how attractive he really is.
* NiceGuy: His InnocentlyInsensitive moments aside, Umino is generally a very decent guy.
* OfficialCouple: In the '90s anime with [[spoiler:Naru]], once they get their RelationshipUpgrade.
* TheOneGuy: Of Usagi's circle of friends at the start of the series.
* OneOfTheGirls: Umino practically always pals around with girls and is not a very masculine guy. The only male friend he is known to have is Kurume Suri, and he only appears in one of the specials/side stories.
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: His glasses look like a pair of large discs with spiral patterns that engulf the entire top-half of his face.
* {{Otaku}}: He's called this several times by other characters.
* PluckyComicRelief: Provides much of the humor in Usagi's everyday life due to his nerdiness, cloudcuckoolander tendencies and the way he annoys his friends, at least during the first season. Because he was DemotedToExtra, the role of comic relief later shifted more to characters like [[AdaptationalComicRelief Minako and Chibi-Usa]].
* PoorMansSubstitute: InUniverse in ''episode 32'' of season 1 when he misinterprets Usagi's advice and appears as "Tuxedo Umino Mask" to protect Naru from the youma. He is the least efficient "super hero" in the world and gets immediately be beaten up within seconds without accomplishing anything.
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: According to Umino in the Viz dub, Ami's IQ is [[Anime/DragonBallZ over 9000]].
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:For Naru]], who also was ''his'' second love, since Umino had a crush on Usagi at first.
* SecretKeeper: In ''Crystal'' it's all but stated that he knows who Sailor Senshi are and they know he knows, as Mamoru tells them to deal with a Daimon in his presence. How and when he found out remains unknown.
* ShooOutTheClowns: In the manga, the first few acts are a bit more humorous than the rest of the series. Umino, who provides much of the comic relief in the franchise, is practically nonexistent for the rest of the manga.
* TheSmartGuy: Of his group of friends. At least in terms of schoolwork where he's one of the top students in their class. Outside of school, though, [[KnowNothingKnowItAll he's a major subversion]].
* SocialCircleFiller: Like Naru, he ends up being this in the manga and ''Crystal'' to show that Usagi has friends even before she meets the other Guardians.
* SweetheartSipping: Usagi, his original crush, does this with him at one point in the first season.
* TeacherStudentRomance: The "hot for teacher" one-sided variant. He was under a spell at the time, but goes through a moment of this towards Haruna and even flips her skirt. Two episodes later, the photos he took at a gym suggest that it might hold true even when he isn't being brainwashed.
* TeenGenius: Fourteen years old at the start of the series, he gets amazing grades without even trying. In fact, when he only gets a 95 on a test, he's actually upset.
* ThoseTwoGuys: He and Naru become this after the other Sailor Guardians start showing up.
* TookALevelInKindness: He starts out as an InnocentlyInsensitive CasanovaWannabe, but gradually outgrew this after [[spoiler:Nephrite died and Naru started dating him]] and he became more thoughtful and less annoying toward others.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He especially loves fried shrimp.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: With Usagi and Naru before Usagi stops hanging out with them.
* UnfazedEveryman: To a somewhat lesser extent than Naru, but like she, he's gotten accustomed to Sailor Guardian-related weirdness.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With the girls in his class. He's a little InnocentlyInsensitive to them and they don't try to hide how annoying they think he is, but they still seem to consider each other friends.

!!Yumiko and Kuri
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yumikuri01.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:221:Yumiko on the left, Kuri on the right]]
->'''Yumiko voiced by''': Mayumi Seto and Chieko Nanba (original series), Hyang-Ri Kim (''Crystal'') (JP), Creator/StephanieMorgenstern ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/MichelleRuff (Viz) (EN)\\
'''Kuri voiced by''': Masami Kamiyama and Etsuko Nishimoto (original series), Yukiko Morashita (''Crystal'') (JP), Creator/KatieGriffin ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (Viz) (EN)
Two girls who are friends and classmates of Usagi and Naru. While the four often hang out at the start of the series, these two mainly serve as SocialCircleFiller until the debut of the Sailor Guardians. Yumiko fills her time with typical teen girl interests, while Kuri is more studious.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Downplayed, but in their first two incarnations, they were both just generically pretty girls, while ''Crystal'' plays up their attractiveness a little by simply putting more detail into their design.
* AdaptationDyeJob: In ''Crystal'', Kuri's hair is sort of purplish-brown.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Possibly in the live-action. Two girls named Kanami Abe and Momoko Kimura who don't appear in any other versions of the series occupy similar roles to Yumiko and Kuri. Based on their appearance, Kanami would be Yumiko and Momoko would be Kuri.
* AdaptedOut: In the live-action, unless you consider Kanami and Momoko the same characters renamed.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Like many other people, they assume that Ami is an InsufferableGenius, Rei is a freak to avoid and Makoto is a dangerous troublemaker before Usagi befriends them, and so take an initial dislike to them.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Yumiko in ''Crystal''. In Act 5, when the girls fantasize about being brides, there's an ImagineSpot that looks kind of like a wedding between her and Usagi. (Usagi is [[AmbiguouslyBi a different trope]].) In the manga, Yumiko shares Naru and Usagi's dreams of being a bride, but aside from [[TheFriendNobodyLikes a certain annoying nerd that she can't stand]], she spends all her times around other girls, so ''Crystal'' apparently [[AdaptationalSexuality rolled with this]].
* BarelyChangedDubName: In the original English releases, Yumiko's name is shorted to Yumi, and Kuri is changed to Kari.
* BitCharacter: Never featured majorly, never even got ADayInTheLimelight, so their roles are often limited to just one or two scenes.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Their act in a talent show in one episode of the original anime, with Yumiko as the boke (the funny one who says stupid things or makes bad jokes) and Kuri as the tsukkomi (the serious straight man).
* BoyishShortHair: Kuri has much shorter hair than her friends. ''Crystal'' makes her hairstyle look even more boyish than usual.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Even earlier than most other supporting characters. Though in ''Crystal'', they appear as late as the final Dark Kingdom episode.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: In ''Crystal'', Kuri's dull purple hair is the same color as her eyes.
* CuteBookworm: Kuri. When she's not hanging out with her friends for their typical girl activities, she's busy hitting the books and cramming for school.
* TheDividual: In TheNineties anime. While they ''can'' appear separately, they seem to only differ visually. Averted in the manga and ''Crystal'' where they are still ThoseTwoGuys but are treated as individuals with their own personalities.
* DubNameChange: The original English releases renamed them Yumi and Kari respectively.
* TheFashionista: Yumiko loves shopping for clothes or jewelry. When she sees a beautiful outfit for sale, she imagines herself wearing one like it, and she tends to dress better than her friends in her street clothes.
* FourGirlEnsemble: With Usagi and Naru early on. Kuri's the somewhat mannish one, while Yumiko's more traditionally pretty and feminine.
* GirlinessUpgrade: In TheNineties anime, Kuri got a slightly girlier look and virtually the same personality as Yumiko. ''Crystal'' gave her back her manga character.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Yumiko doesn't seem to mind playing sports with her classmates at recess.
* GossipyHens: Mainly Yumiko. Though in anime, Kuri has her moments.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With each other. They are best friends who spend most of their time together.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Not only do they assume that Ami, Rei and Makoto are terrible or troublesome people, they never once suspect the people who really are involved with the Dark Kingdom, so they end up falling for their evil plans.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: They are initially suspicious and unaccepting of the Sailor Guardians, but they genuinely believe the rumors about them and don't want their friends to have any trouble from them. They also only act this way until people get to know the Guardians.
* LonersAreFreaks: They seem to genuinely believe this, as they initially critical and suspicious of Ami, Rei and Makoto. Maybe this is why the two are [[ThoseTwoGuys rarely separated]].
* LongHairIsFeminine: Yumiko's well-below-shoulder-length hair shows this.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Yumiko is a mild example. She's a typical girly girl who is critical of people she is thinks are freaks or weirdos, although she does warm up to people easily, and she seems to be the dominant one of the pair.
* MsExposition: On occasions when Umino's not doling out info on anything new in town, one of them is likely to do it.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Possibly in the live-action. They never got official last names in any version, but their live-action counterparts did. Going by that, if you consider them [[AdaptationalNameChange the same characters with different names]] and take their surnames as canon, that would make them Yumiko Abe and Kuri Kimura.
* OnlyOneName: Their surnames are never given in the manga, either anime series or even the Materials Collection.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Yumiko in TheNineties anime. Her only appearance out of her school fuku is an all-pink outfit.
* TheSmartGuy: Kuri somewhat shares the role with Umino in their group, since she seems to care more about her grades than the other girls do.
* SocialCircleFiller: They hang out regularly with Usagi until the other Sailors show up and are then promptly forgotten.
* ThoseTwoGuys: To Usagi, Naru and Umino, before Naru and Umino became this themselves.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Yumiko has [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]], wears girly outfits, acts like a gossipy teen and dreams of being a bride. Kuri has BoyishShortHair, is more bookish and studious than Yumiko (she even goes to CramSchool with Ami) and dresses somewhat more boyishly when out of school uniform.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Kuri isn't ''that'' masculine, just more so than Naru or Yumiko, and she still shares their love for some girly things like sparkly jewelry.
* TookALevelInKindness: While they start out dismissive of Usagi's new friends, they do warm up them once they find out that the rumors about them aren't true. In episode 27, they're seen playing ball with Ami and Makoto.
* TownGirls: Kuri is the butch and Yumiko is the femme to Naru's neither.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Kuri in the first anime (as part of her GirlinessUpgrade), Yumiko in ''Crystal'' (to show she's the GirlyGirl of the two). Technically, their whole class wears blue because of the uniform (bright blue for the girls, dark blue for the boys), but here, it extends to their street clothes.

[[folder:Usagi's Fat Friend]]
!!"Usagi's Fat Friend"
->'''Voiced by''': Mayumi Seto (JP), Creator/KathleenLaskey ([=DiC=]), Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey (Viz) (EN), Belinda Martinez ([=LatAm=])
Another girl in Usagi's class. Distinguished by being chubbier than most girls in the series (hence why she's called Usagi's Fat Friend in the credits). Despite being a recurring character, the writers never gave her a name, apart from the original English dubs.
----
* BitCharacter: Even more so than Yumiko and Kuri. She doesn't even have a proper name! The credits listed her as "Usagi's Fat Friend".
* CanonForeigner: Created specifically for TheNineties anime.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: And it means she probably won’t every appear again because she was only created for the first adaptation. Though unlike Yumiko or Kuri, she wasn't ''quite'' limited to the first season; her last appearance is a brief crowd scene cameo in the second season premier.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: She's always referred to as "Usagi's Fat Friend" in the credits. Averted in the Canadian dub where she's named Loraine in the credits.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: She's Usagi's friend and she's fat.
* {{Gonk}}: Averted. She's chubby but not in any way ugly, being the more cute-looking variety of chubbiness.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Well, named by the dub to be precise. The original English dub named her "Loraine".
* NoNameGiven: Not even the credits give her one. Except in some dubs, Usagi's Fat Friend is all she is ever known as.
* OnlyOneFemaleMold: Averted in her case due to her being chubbier than the other girls, but other than her, there's very little difference in build for any of the other girls except height.
* SocialCircleFiller: Along with Yumiko and Kuri, she only serves as Usagi's friend until her teammates come along.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With a nameless friend and classmate of hers, Usagi's and Naru's (called Brandy in the [=DiC=] dubs) in a few appearances.
* WeightWoe: She's not that much fatter than the rest of the girls, but still noticeably so and is a bit insecure about it. She seems to have been designed that way because her debut episode revolved around this trope.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Usagi's Skinny Friend]]
!!"Usagi's Skinny Friend"
->'''Voiced by''': Naoko Nakamura (JP); Creator/StephanieMorgenstern ([=DiC=]), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (Viz) (EN)
Another friend of Usagi's at the start of the series. Made to be a counterpart to Usagi's Fat Friend (hence why she's called Usagi's Skinny Friend), she doesn't seem to do much beyond hanging out with her friends. She appears in only three episodes.
----
* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the manga.
* LivingProp: After her debut in the weight loss episode, she briefly reappears in episodes 17 and 36 but doesn't do much besides just standing there with the group, and we don't know anything about her, not even her name.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Like her friend "Loraine", she is Brandy in the [=DiC=] dub.
* NoNameGiven: Even worse than Usagi's fat friend, the series doesn't give fans anything to call her. She's just credited as "Female". "Usagi's skinny friend" comes from appearing with and contrasting "Usagi's fat friend".
* TheQuietOne: Proably the least talkative of Usagi's non-Senshi friends.
* SocialCircleFiller: Emphasis on the word filler. All she does is add another person to the group.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Usagi's fat friend. She never appears without her (although the latter can appear without this character).

[[folder:Rui Saionji]]
!!Rui Saionji:
->'''Voiced by''': Satoko Kitou (JP), Nadine Rabinovitch ([=DiC=]), Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey (Viz) (EN)
A famous tennis player and a childhood friend and an honorary big sister to Naru. She began the trend of enemies targeting a single individual for their wants.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: A flashback shows that she was always protective of Naru, who is a year younger than her, when other kids picked on her.
* CanonForeigner: Only appears in the 90s anime.
* CoolBigSis: To Naru. Naru calls Rui her "big sister", which confuses Usagi at first because Naru's mother didn't have any kids before Naru.
* ChildhoodFriend: She and Naru are childhood friends because their mothers are friends.
* DubNameChange: Katie Sandler in the [=DiC=] dub.
* LovableJock: Female example. She goes to the same school as Usagi and the girls, a grade above them, and is the star of the school tennis club.
* OneShotCharacter: Only appears in one episode and is never mentioned again.
* PassionateSportsGirl: She's a famous tennis player who is very enthusiastic about her career and even introduced Naru to the sport when Naru was little.
* TomboyishPonytail: A sporty girl who wears a ponytail.
* VictimOfTheWeek: She was effectively the first true example in the series. Before her, Jadeite would just attack random groups instead of targeting a specific person like Nephrite did starting with Rui.

[[folder:Ryo Urawa]]
!!Ryo Urawa
->'''Voiced by''': Shinichirou Ohta (JP), Eric Kimmel ([=DiC=]), Creator/VicMignogna (Viz) (EN), Creator/YamilAtala ([=LatAm=])
A temporary student at Juuban Municipal Junior High School and the only student known to beat Ami on a test. He has [[spoiler:precognition]], so he already knew that [[spoiler:he's the reincarnation of Bunbo, one of the Seven Great Youma]]. Although there was some romantic chemistry between him and Ami in their two episodes together, he always seems to end up leaving her.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Pulls this off despite being 14 already. He's very intelligent and still has a boyishly youthful look for his age.
* BigOlEyebrows: Most characters have very thin eyebrows, but his are quite thick by comparison.
* BoyOfTheWeek: He serves as a brief love interest to Ami in the two episodes he appears in, and they even go on at least one date, but he promptly vanishes before they become an official couple.
* BrainyBrunette: Has dark brown hair and is the only student known to score higher on a test than Ami.
* TheBusCameBack: In the anime, he only appears a couple of times in the first season before moving away, but he returns for ''Another Story''.
* CanonForeigner: Created specifically for TheNineties anime.
* DoggedNiceGuy: To Ami, though not as pushy as other examples of the trope. It's mainly because she's shy and has trouble with romance in general, though they do go on one date.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names him Greg.
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:Bunbo, one of the Seven Great Youma.]]
* TheFatalist: Mainly because [[spoiler:he can see into the future]]. If it makes him see something bad happening, he pretty much accepts it to be true.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: He gets to keep [[spoiler: his precognitive powers after he loses his Rainbow Crystal and turns back into a human]]. A lot of later problems could have been averted if the Sailor Guardians relied on his abilities more, but he's forgotten after his second episode.
* HeroicSuicide: Forewarned by his [[spoiler:precognitive visions that the Dark Kingdom is coming to extract the Yellow Rainbow Crystal from him and transform him into one of the Seven Great Youma]], he plans to die to keep that from happening. When Ami finds out about his plan, she's very displeased, and ultimately manages to talk him out of his plan.
* LastNameBasis: Often referred to as Urawa instead of Ryo.
* LivingMacGuffin: He turns out to be [[spoiler:Bunbo, one of the Seven Great Youma, and the carrier of the Yellow Rainbow Crystal]].
* LongLostUncleAesop: He shows up as a VictimOfTheWeek who learns not to be fatalistic or cheat on tests just because [[spoiler:he can see the future with perfect accuracy]]; he's one of the rare few to get a second appearance, but after that, he drops off the face of the earth.
* MilitaryBrat: He is implied to be one of these, hence why he's not around for very long. He moves around a lot because his father gets transferred often.
* PairTheSmartOnes: He's a top-grade student just like Ami.
* PsychicPowers: More exactly, [[spoiler: [[{{Seers}} Precognition]].]]
* PutOnABus: Or better said, on a train. He comes back in the Video Game, ''Sailor Moon Another Story''.
* {{Reincarnation}}: The reincarnation of [[spoiler:one of the Seven Great Youma]].
* SecretKeeper: One of the few people who know the Sailor Guardians' identities.
* ShrinkingViolet: Very shy and insecure.
* TemporaryLoveInterest: To Ami. There's a mutual attraction while he's around, and they go on at least one date, but he only lasts two episodes before moving away again. Ami doesn't seem bothered by his absence after that.
* TrainStationGoodbye: Ami says goodbye to Ryo this way when he leaves on a train.
* TwiceShy: When he meets the similarly shy genius Ami, only the intervention of Ami's friends (and her saving him from [[spoiler: his [[EnemyWithin inner great monster]]]]) gets them on a date in one episode.

[[caption-width-right:221:[[labelnote: Click to see her in the 90s anime]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sakurada00.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChiyokoKawashima (original series), Creator/AkemiKanda (''Crystal'') (JP), Nadine Rabinovitch ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (under Cricket Brown) (Viz) (EN), Creator/CristinaCavalinhos (PT), Creator/MonicaWard (IT)\\
'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Tomoko Otakara\\
'''Portrayed in the musicals by''': Kasumi Hyuuga, Kiho Seishi
The homeroom teacher of Usagi and her friends. She's reached the point in her life where [[ChristmasCake she feels that she needs to find a husband quickly]], which causes her to fall for the Dark Kingdom's schemes a number of times. Her behavior flips between mature and childish, often in the same episode: she does her job with precision, to the point of often cracking down on students like Usagi, but she also tries to preserve her youth by acting more like one of the teenage girls in her class.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: At the end of the radio episode, Usagi is writing a love letter to Tuxedo Mask -- which Naru snatches off her. Miss Haruna comes into the room and -- rather than scolding Usagi for doing it during class -- chases the two around the room, just as excited to read the latter as Naru. The English dub changes this to [[DubNameChange Serena]] lying that it's homework -- which Haruna is still excited to see as Serena's notoriously lazy.
* AdaptedOut: {{Averted|Trope}} in all adaptations. She even appears in the first two musicals, making her the only civilian to appear in every version of the series before Naru and Umino appeared in the [=Nogizaka46=] musical.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: While she's a stern rule-enforcer in all continuities, the '90s anime made her much more temperamental, whereas in other versions of the series, her attitude is more controlled.
* AscendedExtra: When you think about it, she had a much bigger role early in TheNineties anime than in the manga. Then after the Alien Arc of R, she was PutOnABus. She has a valid reason for disappearing once the girls moved on to 9th grade.
* BrainyBrunette: Light brown in the Crystal anime and she ''is'' a teacher, after all.
* ButtMonkey: Frequently laments her ChristmasCake status. And even beyond that, there's the incident where she thinks she is DefiledForever.
* ChristmasCake: And ''how''. She's in a hurry to find a husband, which makes her an easy target for the Dark Kingdom.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She has her moments in the live-action.
* CoolTeacher: She's this in the live-action series, albeit a bit downplayed; she is much more laid-back and friendly, but will assign AfterSchoolCleaningDuty if necessary.
* DamselInDistress: Like Naru, she was a frequent victim of attacks by the Dark Kingdom during the first season.
* DefiledForever: This is what she believes when the second episode of TheNineties anime had Umino (under a monster's influence) flip her skirt up revealing her smiley face panties. She started crying that she wouldn't be able to get married now.
* DesignatedVictim: A frequent youma victim alongside Naru. Her obsession with finding a husband made her an easy target.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Snapping turtle. Thanks to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums, she and Naru are the only civilians who get the same level of AllThereInTheManual stats as the heroines.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names him her Patricia Haruna. Yes, her original given name became her dub surname, possibly over confusion by her being called Haruna-sensei.
* FieryRedhead: Has auburn hair in the 90s anime with a temper to match.
* FirstNameBasis: Her students call her Haruna-sensei. The first English dub switched it to make Haruna her last name, though.
* GenkiGirl: A rare adult example, but she is a rather excitable woman when not lecturing her students.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: The above incident revealed a smiley face on it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Very strict and known to blow her top if her students do poorly or break rules, but cares for all of them and just wants them to succeed.
* KickTheDog: In the Season 2 premiere. Usagi was used to StandingInTheHall, and the bucket thing was something that was done in Japanese schools at the time, but she definitely thought her warning Ami away from her was pushing it.
* LargeHam: Whether she's acting overly strict with her students or behaving like an overgrown teenager, Haruna loves chewing the scenery. Her Viz voice actor takes full advantage of this.
* MarilynManeuver: In the second episode of the original anime, a brainwashed Umino magically lifts up her skirt from the back, and while she's pulls down the front, the back is raised and her pink panties with a smiley face on the rear are seen.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Ms. Haruna arrives late for class, tells the kids that they have a free period, and falls asleep. Naru and Umino note that it's very weird and they get worried after the ambulance comes.
* PersonalityBloodTypes: She's type O, fitting her desirous and determined nature (which manifests itself as a search for love), but also her aggressive temperament.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears pink pretty often, reflecting her vivid personality, romantic side and traditionally feminine vocation.
* SenseiChan: Frequently acts young for her age and engages in doing rather childish things.
* SkewedPriorities: Haruna nearly has a breakdown when a brainwashed Umino flips her skirt. She laments she won't be able to live it down. A more competent teacher would have kicked Umino out for the day.
* SternTeacher: Was very exigent towards Usagi, but genuinely cared for her and her friends.
* TemporalThemeNaming: Meta-example. Creator/NaokoTakeuchi's other series ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', ''Manga/TheCherryProject'' and ''P.Q. Angels'' have characters named Natsuna Sakurada, Akina Sakurada and Fuyuna Sakurada. Collectively, they are named after the four seasons.
* ToughLove: She's quite hard on Usagi most of the time, but that's only to help prepare Usagi for her future. Otherwise, she is on good terms with Usagi outside of school hours.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Peaches, according to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums.
* TwoTeacherSchool: She's basically the one teacher we get to meet during her run in the series.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The Materials Collection reveals that Haruna is afraid of snakes.
* {{Womanchild}}: As stated above, she is shown to be just as childish as Usagi, especially with her boy-crazy tendencies.

[[folder:Higure Akiyama]]
!!Higure Akiyama
->'''Voiced by''': Yuko Mita (JP), Maria Ricossa ([=DiC=]), G.K. Bowes (Viz) (EN)
Usagi, Ami, and Naru's home economics teacher. Though she is engaged to be married in her episode, she initially lacks the confidence to deal with it. After spending her episode as one of Nephrite's targets, she gets to have her happily ever after.
----
* BouquetToss: At her wedding, when she tosses a bouquet, Usagi, Rei, and Haruna all jump for it, but it bounces off all their hands and into the arms of Ami. Everyone is surprised by this.
* CanonForeigner: Only appears in the '90s anime.
* ChristmasCake: She is seen this way by other people, since it's pointed out that she's 34 years old and still unmarried. However, she gets married in the same episode.
* DubNameChange: Helen Lambert in the [=DiC=] dub.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Gets to wear one to her wedding.
* HappilyMarried: Marries her fiancé at the end of her episode.
* HotLibrarian: She's attractive, but because she lacks confidence, she always wears large glasses, dresses modestly, and keeps her hair up in a bun. When she tosses aside this behavior, it's the first hint that something's wrong with her.
* OneShotCharacter: Only appears in one episode of the anime.
* PrimAndProperBun: Usually wears her hair this way.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She has dark blue hair and is pretty timid, so she dresses rather modestly and intellectually.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She stands about a head taller than her short, stout fiancé.
* TwoTeacherSchool: She exists to show that Haruna Sakurada is not the only teacher working Juuban Municipal Junior High School, although she's still the only other teacher seen. She's Usagi, Naru, and Ami's home economics teacher.
* VictimOfTheWeek: She is Nephrite's target in her episode. This causes her to stop acting like her usual self, suddenly acting more assertive and dressing sexily with heavy makeup.

----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* AscendedExtra: At least for the first half of the first anime season compared to the manga. Since the anime took its time introducing the other Sailor Guardians, Usagi's school life and classmates was given more focus.
* CastHerd: Usagi and her class form a cast herd that gets a lot of focus early on, mostly Naru, Umino, and Haruna, with Yumiko, Kuri, and a bunch of background students to fill it out. Usagi, Naru, and Umino are a sub-herd in the form of TwoGuysAndAGirl. In later episodes, it was reduced to just Naru and Umino as ThoseTwoGuys and a minor OfficialCouple.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Gradually, everyone at this school except Usagi, Ami, and Makoto vanished. In Haruna's case, it's justified (see below), and many fans assume that Naru and Umino went to a different high school, but there's no explanation for what happened to students who didn't appear after the first season.
* DemotedToExtra: It's more noticeable in the '90s anime where Usagi's class appeared much more in early episodes, but they all started appearing less and less as the other Sailor Guardians joined Usagi. Naru and Umino made it to the fourth season, but only made sporadic appearances starting in the Black Moon arc.
* DesignatedVictim: In the early episodes, enemy plots tended to involved at least one person from Usagi's school, whether directly or indirectly.
* FourGirlEnsemble: Usagi and her non-Sailor girlfriends form one at the start of the series before her teammates show up. Usagi is the sweetly naïve one, Yumiko is the pretty, fashionable one, Kuri is the masculine one, and Naru is the wise and admirable one.
* FourManBand: The four (original) main characters in Usagi's class fit the roles pretty well during the first anime season.
** OnlySaneMan: Naru (levelheaded, serves as a foil to her class' antics).
** TheSmartGuy: Umino (KnowNothingKnowItAll nerd who flaunts his top grades).
** CasanovaWannabe: Haruna (obsessed with finding a husband).
** ButtMonkey: Usagi (clumsy and ditzy LoserProtagonist).
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Usagi and her girlfriends:
** Sanguine: Usagi (cheerful, energetic, fun-loving).
** Choleric: Yumiko (blunt and passionate).
** Melancholic: Kuri (studious and critical).
** Phlegmatic: Naru (kind, thoughtful, easy to get along with).
* JuniorHigh: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It says so in the name]]. The school covers grade seven though nine, the norm for Asian countries like Japan.
* {{Muggles}}: Three of the school's students are Sailor Guardians, but, other than three temporary students who only appeared in the '90s anime (Ail, An, and Ryo), the rest of the students and teachers have no magic powers at all.
* OutOfFocus: Around midway through the first season, the characters at Usagi's school were used less and less, despite how important Usagi's school life seemed to be to the story early on, and even despite the fact that two of her new teammates went to the same junior high.
* SailorFuku: The girl's uniform at this school. In fact, Sailor Moon's outfit is basically [[ColorCodedSecretIdentity a modified version of this particular sailor fuku's design]].
* SocialCircleFiller: Usagi's class mostly exists to show that she's got a lot of friends at the start of the series before the others show up. However, Naru, Umino, and Haruna were given a fair bit of focus and development in the original anime.
* TwoTeacherSchool: Haruna is Usagi's teacher and... that's all we ever see. Unless you count a one-shot first anime-exclusive home economics teacher.

'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Chieco Kawabe\\
'''Portrayed in the musicals by''': Yuka Yamauchi
Usagi's original friend from her junior high school who is friendly, sweet and always by Usagi's side. She is featured more in the [[SailorMoon/TropesTwo '90s anime]] than in the manga, given new character arcs that weren't in the manga, such as falling in love with Nephrite. She is also very popular in school with the students because her mother owns a jewellery shop, but her friendship with Usagi drifts away and becomes closer friends with Umino, before being written out of the story completely.
----
* AcademicAthlete: According to Usagi, she is smart (known to get above-average grades in school) and she also seems to have some athletic ability. The original anime shows playing tennis with her CoolBigSis Rui, but the albums say that volleyball is her sport of choice.
* AccentAdaptation: Her original English dub counterpart "Molly" has a thick New York accent.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The dynamic with Nephrite and Naru in TheNineties anime. Naru knows he isn't a good person and is aware that he has tried to use her, particularly since he tells her as much. Yet she admits to a worried Usagi that she can't help loving him. Then Nephrite turns out to not be a monster... [[RedemptionEqualsDeath only to die in her arms]].
* AscendedExtra: In the first season of the '90s anime and the live-action, she has a bigger role than in the manga.
* BadassNormal: Despite how often she gets targeted by the villains, Naru has quite a number of achievements listed in the "Moments of Awesome" page.
* BetaCouple: With [[spoiler:Umino]] during the first two seasons once they get together. After that, Haruka and Michiru displace them in the role as they get DemotedToExtra.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a very nice person, but she can be pushed too far when it comes to [[InnocentlyInsensitive Umino's thoughtlessness]]. Also, she has attempted to protect both of her love interests from enemy attacks.
* BigNo: Lets out a few of these when Nephrite dies.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The redhead to Usagi's blonde and Umino's brunet.
* BreakTheCutie: The deal with [[spoiler: Nephrite]] sends her into an HeroicBSOD and it takes her a while to get better.
* BridalCarry: In the first anime, the villain Nephrite does this with Naru after he rescues her from Zoisite, which is what starts his HeelFaceTurn.
* ButtMonkey: Of the DesignatedVictim variety. In her case, it's not played for laughs, especially considering how her storyline with Nephrite turned out.
* TheCameo: In the manga and ''Crystal'', after the end of the Dark Kingdom arc, her appearances tended to be minor cameos.
* CharacterDevelopment: Happens twice:
** She TookALevelInBadass to tell off the Senshi for not having faith in her belief in Nephrite's goodness, and managed to get him to reform voluntarily. Later, after grieving, she managed to [[spoiler:move on from him]].
** Naru starts dating Umino without the Nephrite angst and concludes on her own that Usagi is involved with the week's happenings. Instead of confronting Usagi about it, she reassures her they'll see each other at school the next day after a huge battle with the Black Moon clan.
* CosmicPlaything: In the original anime. Fans have theorized that she has some kind of innate ability to attract trouble. If it's not enough that she's the WeirdnessMagnet and the DesignatedVictim, right after she finds love with Nephrite, [[spoiler:he gets killed]]. Nephrite even concludes that she attracts youma because of her bond with Sailor Moon. And when the other girls show up, they gradually push Naru out of Usagi's life. In fact, the only reason she stops being a victim later on is that their longtime friendship is torn apart and keeps her out of the way. It's almost as if the universe was toying with her to get her away from Usagi.
* DamselInDistress: She needs to be saved from a MonsterOfTheWeek attack fairly regularly.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Although she is DemotedToExtra in the Black Moon arc, she does get two focus episodes later:
** The sixth episode of the third season focuses on Naru and Umino's relationship problems and has them enter and win a couples contest to prove their love for each other.
** In the fourth episode of the fourth season, Tiger's Eye targets Naru for her Dream Mirror and causes more problems in her relationship with Umino.
* DemotedToExtra: Ever since the end of the Alien arc of season R. And she and Umino were ''still'' luckier than Yumiko and Kuri, who never made it past the original series. Averted in the live-action; it's as if she knew that she was gonna be replaced as Usagi's BFF and struggled not to let that happen.
* DesignatedVictim: She '''always''' seems to attract a MonsterOfTheWeek within minutes of appearing on screen, probably because she is one of Usagi's only [[{{Muggles}} non-superpowered]] friends. The very first episode of ''Sailor Moon R'' even had Luna and Artemis BreakingTheFourthWall to comment on the frequency of her being attacked by monsters.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Lemons. Thanks to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums, she and Haruna are the only civilians who get the same level of AllThereInTheManual stats as the heroines.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names her Molly Baker.
* {{Expy}}: Of Hikaru from ''Manga/CodenameSailorV''. Both are the MuggleBestFriend of the main character.
* FieryRedhead: Subverted, she's more of TheCutie, though she ''did'' have two or three moments.
* FourGirlEnsemble: With Usagi, Yumiko and Kuri early on. She appears to be the wisest and most admirable one of the group.
* FromDressToDressing: After Nephrite is attacked in the '90s anime, she uses a piece of her pajamas to make a bandage for him. After [[spoiler:he dies and disappears]], she keeps the bandage until giving it to Umino, [[spoiler:symbolizing how she is moving on to him]].
* GenreSavvy: Poor Naru gets attacked so many times that by season two, she seems to have figured out that her role in the story is being the DesignatedVictim. She's actually wary when she gets invited to an audition. And rightfully so because she got attacked again.
* TheGhost: In the musicals. She did not appear at all in the musicals' original run, although she was mentioned in the first musical by Nephrite regarding his love for her. Finally averted as of 2018 when she finally appears onstage in the [=Nogizaka46=] musical.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's mostly the girly girl to Usagi's tomboy, but also has some tomboyish traits like playing tennis and occasional {{Tsundere}} moments.
* GoThroughMe: Usagi once tried to use her tiara attack against Nephrite but had to stop the attack when Naru put herself between them because of her love for him.
* HeroicBSOD: Goes through a bit of one in episode 22 because he shows her both affection and coldness and doesn't know whether or not his feelings are genuine.
* HeroicBystander: In both the first series and S, trying to get the energy-sucking plant out of [[spoiler:Nephrite]] despite being affected by them herself and then trying to protect [[spoiler:Umino]] from a MonsterOfTheWeek which was after his Pure Heart.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Usagi, before she gets {{demoted to extra}}.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: In the seventh episode of the original anime, she and Usagi sing the theme song, but are badly off-key.
* HumanShield: Tries to act like one for Nephrite when Sailor Moon tries to attack him.
* InSpiteOfANail: At the end of the first season after everything is reset, [[spoiler:Naru and Umino still became a couple without the Nephrite arc]].
* InvisibleParents: The only reason we know her father exists is that Naruru mentions using his credit card in "Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary".
* TheLancer: To Usagi at the start, since she is initially her closest friend and foil.
* LightningGlare: She and Usagi do this to each other in one episode of the original anime.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Doesn't know of Usagi's identity as Sailor Moon, though [[spoiler:she ''may'' have [[SecretKeeper become aware of it]] in the R season. At the very least, she knows she is part of something important and that Usagi doesn't want Naru to ask what. Which Naru accepts.]]
* MoralityPet: In the '90s anime, she becomes one for [[spoiler:Nephrite, triggering his RedemptionEqualsDeath.]]
* MuggleBestFriend: To Usagi. They have been best friends for some time before Usagi awakens as Sailor Moon, and Naru has no magic powers.
* NiceGirl: She is very sweet, kind and caring to all of her friends.
* OfficialCouple: In the '90s anime with [[spoiler:Umino]], once they get their RelationshipUpgrade.
* OnlySaneWoman: Seems to be the most normal and well-adjusted member of her social circle. It's not that hard to be this when your two closest friends are {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s.
* OrangeBlueContrast: Whether it's her orange hair contrasting against her eyes, bow and school uniform or her casual clothes with an orange top against a blue skirt and leggings, this is her color combination most of the time.
* OrWasItADream: At the end of the first episode, Naru tells Usagi all about the "dream" she had about being saved from a monster by a beautiful warrior.
* OutOfFocus: Pretty much all the civilian cast went this route, but Naru probably got hit the hardest. In the early episodes of the first anime, she was a semi-major character, as Usagi's best friend, but by the second season, she almost disappeared once Usagi started hanging out with the Sailor Guardians and she lost her importance.
* PajamaCladHero: In the episode "Naru's Tears: Nephrite Dies for Love" Naru/Molly is kidnapped at night while she was sleeping. For the remainder of the episode, she is stuck in her pajamas and barefoot. Once she is rescued by Nephrite, she notices his arm is injured. To help him, she rips off part of her pajama shirt and ties it around his arm.
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type AB. Like a lot of characters with this type, she's very rational and sociable, but her personality is a bit hard to pin down (though in her case it's partly because she's so out of focus and underdeveloped).
* PluckyGirl: Becomes one whenever things get serious about her friends, even if it means she might get hurt. And since Naru is a muggle, it's all the more epic when she does it. For example, she refuses to back down from her CoolBigSis Rui the tennis player when Rui's acting all aggressive and threatening from Nephrite's spell.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Worn as her casual clothes in the '90s anime.
* SayMyName: Cries out Nephrite's name as [[spoiler:he dies]] in episode 24 .
* SecondLove: For [[spoiler:Umino once he gets over his unrequited crush on Usagi]], who was also ''her'' second love after what happened to Nephrite.
* SecretKeeper: In ''Crystal'', it's all but stated that she knows it and the Sailor Senshi know she knows, as Mamoru tells them to deal with a Daimon in her presence.
* SecretSecretKeeper: It is heavily implied during R/the Black Moon arc that Naru had figured out Usagi's identity as Sailor Moon since she knows that Usagi is part of something unusual and important, but that Usagi doesn't want her to ask about it, so she complies as to not put pressure on her.
* SiblingYinYang: ''Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary'' introduces her elementary school sister Naruru, a flashy and tanned {{Cosplay Otaku|Girl}} GyaruGirl who's rather popular with boys. This is entirely in contrast with Naru, who's a rather plain girl and more conservatively dressed.
* SignatureHeadgear: Always wears her trademark hairbow.
* SignificantBirthDate: She was born on New Year's Day. Contrast Usagi who was born midway through the year.
* SocialCircleFiller: In the manga and ''Crystal'' mostly where she serves to give Usagi a best friend before the other Sailor Guardians come along. Less so in the '90s anime and the live-action where her role is increased and lengthened.
%% * SpoiledSweet: According to the first episode of ''Crystal'', Naru is intelligent, popular, and has wealthy parents, and she's nice and down to Earth.
* StraightMan: Often plays the sensible and serious one to balance out the goofy antics of Usagi and Umino.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Naru inherited a lot of her features, such as her hair and eye colors, from her mother.
* ThoseTwoGuys: She and Umino become this after the other Sailor Guardians start showing up.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Usagi's tomboy, despite Usagi not being ''that'' boyish.
* TooGoodToBeTrue: She says this in the first episode. Her mother is oddly into selling the store's expensive jewelry at high discounts. Good for business but odd. It turns out that Morga replaced her mother and the real jewels with clever fakes that steal the customers' energy.
* TownGirls: The neither to Kuri's butch and Yumiko's femme.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Stewed food, according to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums.
* TroubledFetalPosition: Naru is seen twice like this. The first time she's sitting on the bottom of a slide on such a position, as she and Usagi discuss Sanjoin/Nephrite's actions against Naru. The second, she's cutrling up in her bedroom after [[spoiler: Nephrite's RedemptionEqualsDeath]] as Usagi and Umino try to comfort her.
* TrueBlueFemininity: In the first anime, she is no more or less likely to wear blue than any average teen (she only wears it often because of her school uniform), but ''Crystal'' settled on a blue hairbow for her rather than switching colors all the time.
* {{Tsundere}}: Very light Type B, towards [[spoiler: Umino]] after they become a couple.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: With Usagi and Umino before Usagi stops hanging out with them.
* UnexplainedAccent: It's never clear why a girl who lives in Tokyo would have a New York accent.
* UnfazedEveryman: Being best friends with Sailor Moon and a victim or witness of so many attacks, she has become this regarding the Sailor Guardians and youma.
* WeirdnessMagnet: She is the victim of more enemy attacks than any other civilian.
* YankTheDogsChain: After being attacked so many times, Nephrite was the one good thing that came out of her being Sailor Moon's MuggleBestFriend, but [[spoiler:he gets killed]] shortly afterwards. At least her next relationship worked out much better.

[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/umino01.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:221:[[labelnote: Click to see him in the 90s anime]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/umino00.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KeiichiNanba (original series), Creator/DaikiYamashita (''Crystal'') (JP), Roland Parliament ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/BenDiskin (Viz) (EN), Isabel Wolmar (PT), Genaro Vásquez ([=LatAm=]\\
'''Portrayed in the musicals by''': Marina Tanoue
He's the tousle-haired [[TwoGirlsAndAGuy friend of Usagi and Naru]] who is a student at their junior high school. He is a bespectacled nerd who is a goofball and a clever student with excellent grades. He nursed a crush on Usagi at first, and tried several ways to impress her (such as memorably trying to be a bad boy), but then grew out of it much later.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** While still the short guy with SpikyHair and OpaqueNerdGlasses, his face shape and haircut look more akin to the standard character designs of the other characters than to the more cartoonish, round-faced [[MessyHair messy-haired]] kid he is in the manga and 90's anime.
** In the [=Nogizaka46=] Musical, Umino, as portrayed by Marina Tanoue, forgoes the OpaqueNerdGlasses for standard NerdGlasses and has a more EndearinglyDorky look to him compared to his drawn counterparts.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Both anime series give him brown hair. It's blonde in the manga.
* AdaptedOut: Does not appear in the live-action.
* AmusingInjuries: He receives a lot of these in the original anime. For example, after he insensitively brings up Naru's lost love, Usagi punches him in the head and knocks him right to the floor. He immediately gets up unscathed.
* AscendedExtra: Like Naru, his role is somewhat bigger in the '90s anime.
* BeautifulAllAlong: In the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] the Sailor Senshi wonder if this trope would apply to Umino if he removed his specs, complete with a {{Bishonen}} Umino ImagineSpot. [[WordOfGod According to]] Creator/NaokoTakeuchi, the trope does indeed apply to Umino too.
* BetaCouple: With [[spoiler:Naru]] during the first two seasons once they get together. After that, Haruka and Michiru displace them in the role as they get DemotedToExtra.
* TheBGrade: In the first episode/act, he reveals that he only got a 95 on a test, which to him is a big disappointment.
* {{Bishonen}}: [[WordOfGod Apparently]], Umino is a handsome young man when he takes off his glasses. You wouldn't believe he can remove them, seeming how it's like they're stuck to his face.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The brunet to Usagi's blonde and Naru's redhead.
* BookSmart: Despite his annoying and goofy personality, he gets excellent grades.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The second episode of the original anime had a youma disguised as a fortune teller cast a spell on him that makes him go crazy with love and do things even he wouldn't dare do.
* BrainyBrunette: Has brown hair in both anime series and is a brainy nerd.
* ButtMonkey: His friends and classmates tend to treat him this way in earlier episodes because they find him so annoying.
* TheCameo: In the manga and ''Crystal'', after the end of the Dark Kingdom arc, his appearances tended to be minor cameos.
* ChivalrousPervert: At least before he gets a girlfriend. He fantasizes about the women in his life, is not above hitting on them, but seems to genuinely care about them and wouldn't hurt them on purpose. The only time he ever crosses a line is the skirt-flipping incident with Haruna and that only happened while he was under an evil spell.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Is undoubtedly the strangest of Usagi's non-Sailor friends. He says and does some pretty odd things, like describing getting his hand caught in a leather purse as him being bitten by an alligator.
* CoatHatMask: His attempt at imitating Tuxedo Mask. It counts because his OpaqueNerdGlasses cover his eyes the same way as any mask would.
* CompositeCharacter:
** Possibly in the original English manga releases. Chibi-Usa's nerdy classmate Sorano was also called Melvin (they share the same given name in the Japanese version, but the translators likely didn't know that because he was only ever called Sorano in the manga itself). Aside from a difference in height, the two look almost identical in the manga, so it was easy enough to pass them off as the same character.
** With Motoki in the live-action. He didn't appear in that series, so his role as the awkward and comical friend was given to Motoki.
* CrazyJealousGuy: After he starts dating [[spoiler:Naru]], he acts this way about her to a mild extent.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He may act like a goofy {{Cloudcuckoolander}} in his everyday life, but when the chips are down, he will do anything to protect the one he loves.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Although he is DemotedToExtra in the Black Moon arc, he and Naru become the focus of one Death Busters episode where they enter a couples contest and he is targeted for his Pure Heart Crystal.
* DemotedToExtra: Along with Naru after the first season. They start as Usagi's closest friends, only to be sidelined and reduced to ThoseTwoGuys when the other Sailor Guardians show up.
* DistressedDude: Is one of the victims of the week in the third season targeted for his Pure Heart Crystal.
* DitzyGenius: Gets almost perfect grades in school without really trying, yet when it comes to anything outside of school, he rarely shows any common sense.
* DivingSave: Does this for Naru in episode 26 of the first season, then jumps in the way to protect her again in S (after which she gets in the way, trying to protect him).
* DoggedNiceGuy: For Usagi. By the time he falls for [[spoiler:Naru]] though, he [[CharacterDevelopment drops the most annoying traits.]]
* DraggedIntoDrag: Naru convinces him to wear a pink dress for their talent act in the seventh episode of the '90s anime.
* DrowningMySorrows: Parodied in ''Super S'', when he [[DrunkOnMilk attempts it with milkshakes]]. Chibi-Usa's grossed out face says all.
* DrunkOnMilk: When Naru gets manipulated into dating Tiger's Eye, he tries this with a bunch of milkshakes. Chibi-Usa is grossed out and lampshades the whole thing, even pointing out that typically, people drown their sorrows on sake.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names him Melvin Butlers.
* {{Expy}}: In the forerunner series, ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', Minako had an otaku pal named Amano who is identical to him, though Amano is much more proactive and able to aide Sailor V on several occasions.
** He has an in-universe example as he is the [[GenderFlip Gender-Flipped]] {{body double}} of Princess D.
* ExtravertedNerd: Indubitably a nerd, but very outgoing and talkative with shades of the CasanovaWannabe (although this aspect disappears after he gets a girlfriend).
* EveryoneHasStandards: He may hit on girls, but Umino is mortified to learn that he committed sexual harassment and vandalism when he was brainwashed.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Early on, the girls only tolerate his annoying ways, though they let him hang around with them anyway. In the '90s anime, they warm up to him a little once he starts dating [[spoiler:Naru]]. Played straight in the Manga and ''Crystal'', every time he shows up onscreen has at least one person getting angry at his mere presence.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: After Usagi sees how attractive Princess D is without her glasses, she wonders ([[spoiler:correctly]]) if the same would hold true for Umino.
* GossipyHens: Male version. He'll often gossip along with his female friends about new arrivals and events in town.
* HeroicBystander: In both the first series and ''S'', he tries to defend Naru from a MonsterOfTheWeek. The second time, the monster was specifically targeting ''him''.
* HeroicWannabe: Tries to emulate Tuxedo Mask by dressing like him and calling himself Tuxedo Umino Mask in order to protect Naru. While he's no match for the monster, you gotta admire his spirit about it.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: For example, when Usagi and Umino went to visit Naru [[spoiler:after Nephrite's death]], Umino casually said, "I thought you didn't go to school because you were sick, but I see it was just heartbreak," resulting in Usagi hitting him. Once they gone out, he didn't take (or didn't seem anyway) into consideration Naru's feelings. Later on, however, he hinted to have felt bad because of this trope. Thanks to CharacterDevelopment, he became a bit less of this trope later on. In the same scene, he tried to comfort Naru... by mentioning [[spoiler:Nephrite's disappearance.]]
* InSpiteOfANail: At the end of the first season after everything is reset, [[spoiler:Naru and Umino still became a couple without the Nephrite arc]].
* InsufferableGenius: One of the top students in his class, he isn't above flaunting his grades to his friends.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: A nerdy/bespectacled/non-athletic guy whose close friends all seem to be girls. He's into things like gossip, doesn't hide his romantic notions and at one point in the '90s anime he even dons a pink dress.
* {{Keet}}: He's pretty excitable in telling his buddies about stuff he's experienced, [[TheFriendNobodyLikes much to their annoyance]]. Even after he gets a RelationshipUpgrade with [[spoiler:Naru]], he still doesn't give up his excitable ways.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He is an academic genius, but he often acts like he also knows a lot more outside of school than he really does, and he tries to keep his friends up to date about things whether they want to hear it or not.
* LargeHam: His Viz dubs voice actor Ben Diskin is known for playing these.
* LastNameBasis: Umino is his surname, but that's what everyone calls him.
* MessyHair: Not like bedhead-messy, but his hair doesn't seem to lay down.
* MindControlEyes: Glowing yellow ones, from the first time he was a victim to the monster of the week.
* MrExposition: Early on, he would often be the one to talk about new events, people and places that would turn out to be related to the adventure of the week.
* MuggleBestFriend: To a lesser extent than Naru, but he does sometimes share this role with her for Usagi.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After being saved from being brainwashed in the second episode, he feels pretty bad about what he did while brainwashed, even though he wasn't in control of himself.
* MythologyGag:
** When Viz redubbed episode 7, while crossdressing, Umino talks like [=DiC=]'s "Molly", Brooklyn accent and all.
** In the ''other'' episode 7 (''Crystal''), when Umino tells Usagi, Ami, and Makoto that he was going to catch Sailor Moon, he's blacked out into a silhouette, leaving only his eyes and mouth glowing yellow. This is much like how Professor Souichi Tomoe appeared in the third season of the first Sailor Moon series.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: The time where he tries to protect Naru as Tuxedo Melvin, he gets tossed aside easily by the monster.
* NerdsAreSexy: Although he is a more stereotypical nerd, his glasses hide just how attractive he really is.
* NiceGuy: His InnocentlyInsensitive moments aside, Umino is generally a very decent guy.
* OfficialCouple: In the '90s anime with [[spoiler:Naru]], once they get their RelationshipUpgrade.
* TheOneGuy: Of Usagi's circle of friends at the start of the series.
* OneOfTheGirls: Umino practically always pals around with girls and is not a very masculine guy. The only male friend he is known to have is Kurume Suri, and he only appears in one of the specials/side stories.
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: His glasses look like a pair of large discs with spiral patterns that engulf the entire top-half of his face.
* {{Otaku}}: He's called this several times by other characters.
* PluckyComicRelief: Provides much of the humor in Usagi's everyday life due to his nerdiness, cloudcuckoolander tendencies and the way he annoys his friends, at least during the first season. Because he was DemotedToExtra, the role of comic relief later shifted more to characters like [[AdaptationalComicRelief Minako and Chibi-Usa]].
* PoorMansSubstitute: InUniverse in ''episode 32'' of season 1 when he misinterprets Usagi's advice and appears as "Tuxedo Umino Mask" to protect Naru from the youma. He is the least efficient "super hero" in the world and gets immediately be beaten up within seconds without accomplishing anything.
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: According to Umino in the Viz dub, Ami's IQ is [[Anime/DragonBallZ over 9000]].
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:For Naru]], who also was ''his'' second love, since Umino had a crush on Usagi at first.
* SecretKeeper: In ''Crystal'' it's all but stated that he knows who Sailor Senshi are and they know he knows, as Mamoru tells them to deal with a Daimon in his presence. How and when he found out remains unknown.
* ShooOutTheClowns: In the manga, the first few acts are a bit more humorous than the rest of the series. Umino, who provides much of the comic relief in the franchise, is practically nonexistent for the rest of the manga.
* TheSmartGuy: Of his group of friends. At least in terms of schoolwork where he's one of the top students in their class. Outside of school, though, [[KnowNothingKnowItAll he's a major subversion]].
* SocialCircleFiller: Like Naru, he ends up being this in the manga and ''Crystal'' to show that Usagi has friends even before she meets the other Guardians.
* SweetheartSipping: Usagi, his original crush, does this with him at one point in the first season.
* TeacherStudentRomance: The "hot for teacher" one-sided variant. He was under a spell at the time, but goes through a moment of this towards Haruna and even flips her skirt. Two episodes later, the photos he took at a gym suggest that it might hold true even when he isn't being brainwashed.
* TeenGenius: Fourteen years old at the start of the series, he gets amazing grades without even trying. In fact, when he only gets a 95 on a test, he's actually upset.
* ThoseTwoGuys: He and Naru become this after the other Sailor Guardians start showing up.
* TookALevelInKindness: He starts out as an InnocentlyInsensitive CasanovaWannabe, but gradually outgrew this after [[spoiler:Nephrite died and Naru started dating him]] and he became more thoughtful and less annoying toward others.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He especially loves fried shrimp.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: With Usagi and Naru before Usagi stops hanging out with them.
* UnfazedEveryman: To a somewhat lesser extent than Naru, but like she, he's gotten accustomed to Sailor Guardian-related weirdness.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With the girls in his class. He's a little InnocentlyInsensitive to them and they don't try to hide how annoying they think he is, but they still seem to consider each other friends.

[[folder:Yumiko and Kuri]]
!!Yumiko and Kuri
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yumikuri01.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:221:Yumiko on the left, Kuri on the right]]
->'''Yumiko voiced by''': Mayumi Seto and Chieko Nanba (original series), Hyang-Ri Kim (''Crystal'') (JP), Creator/StephanieMorgenstern ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/MichelleRuff (Viz) (EN)\\
'''Kuri voiced by''': Masami Kamiyama and Etsuko Nishimoto (original series), Yukiko Morashita (''Crystal'') (JP), Creator/KatieGriffin ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (Viz) (EN)
Two girls who are friends and classmates of Usagi and Naru. While the four often hang out at the start of the series, these two mainly serve as SocialCircleFiller until the debut of the Sailor Guardians. Yumiko fills her time with typical teen girl interests, while Kuri is more studious.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Downplayed, but in their first two incarnations, they were both just generically pretty girls, while ''Crystal'' plays up their attractiveness a little by simply putting more detail into their design.
* AdaptationDyeJob: In ''Crystal'', Kuri's hair is sort of purplish-brown.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Possibly in the live-action. Two girls named Kanami Abe and Momoko Kimura who don't appear in any other versions of the series occupy similar roles to Yumiko and Kuri. Based on their appearance, Kanami would be Yumiko and Momoko would be Kuri.
* AdaptedOut: In the live-action, unless you consider Kanami and Momoko the same characters renamed.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Like many other people, they assume that Ami is an InsufferableGenius, Rei is a freak to avoid and Makoto is a dangerous troublemaker before Usagi befriends them, and so take an initial dislike to them.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Yumiko in ''Crystal''. In Act 5, when the girls fantasize about being brides, there's an ImagineSpot that looks kind of like a wedding between her and Usagi. (Usagi is [[AmbiguouslyBi a different trope]].) In the manga, Yumiko shares Naru and Usagi's dreams of being a bride, but aside from [[TheFriendNobodyLikes a certain annoying nerd that she can't stand]], she spends all her times around other girls, so ''Crystal'' apparently [[AdaptationalSexuality rolled with this]].
* BarelyChangedDubName: In the original English releases, Yumiko's name is shorted to Yumi, and Kuri is changed to Kari.
* BitCharacter: Never featured majorly, never even got ADayInTheLimelight, so their roles are often limited to just one or two scenes.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Their act in a talent show in one episode of the original anime, with Yumiko as the boke (the funny one who says stupid things or makes bad jokes) and Kuri as the tsukkomi (the serious straight man).
* BoyishShortHair: Kuri has much shorter hair than her friends. ''Crystal'' makes her hairstyle look even more boyish than usual.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Even earlier than most other supporting characters. Though in ''Crystal'', they appear as late as the final Dark Kingdom episode.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: In ''Crystal'', Kuri's dull purple hair is the same color as her eyes.
* CuteBookworm: Kuri. When she's not hanging out with her friends for their typical girl activities, she's busy hitting the books and cramming for school.
* TheDividual: In TheNineties anime. While they ''can'' appear separately, they seem to only differ visually. Averted in the manga and ''Crystal'' where they are still ThoseTwoGuys but are treated as individuals with their own personalities.
* DubNameChange: The original English releases renamed them Yumi and Kari respectively.
* TheFashionista: Yumiko loves shopping for clothes or jewelry. When she sees a beautiful outfit for sale, she imagines herself wearing one like it, and she tends to dress better than her friends in her street clothes.
* FourGirlEnsemble: With Usagi and Naru early on. Kuri's the somewhat mannish one, while Yumiko's more traditionally pretty and feminine.
* GirlinessUpgrade: In TheNineties anime, Kuri got a slightly girlier look and virtually the same personality as Yumiko. ''Crystal'' gave her back her manga character.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Yumiko doesn't seem to mind playing sports with her classmates at recess.
* GossipyHens: Mainly Yumiko. Though in anime, Kuri has her moments.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With each other. They are best friends who spend most of their time together.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Not only do they assume that Ami, Rei and Makoto are terrible or troublesome people, they never once suspect the people who really are involved with the Dark Kingdom, so they end up falling for their evil plans.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: They are initially suspicious and unaccepting of the Sailor Guardians, but they genuinely believe the rumors about them and don't want their friends to have any trouble from them. They also only act this way until people get to know the Guardians.
* LonersAreFreaks: They seem to genuinely believe this, as they initially critical and suspicious of Ami, Rei and Makoto. Maybe this is why the two are [[ThoseTwoGuys rarely separated]].
* LongHairIsFeminine: Yumiko's well-below-shoulder-length hair shows this.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Yumiko is a mild example. She's a typical girly girl who is critical of people she is thinks are freaks or weirdos, although she does warm up to people easily, and she seems to be the dominant one of the pair.
* MsExposition: On occasions when Umino's not doling out info on anything new in town, one of them is likely to do it.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Possibly in the live-action. They never got official last names in any version, but their live-action counterparts did. Going by that, if you consider them [[AdaptationalNameChange the same characters with different names]] and take their surnames as canon, that would make them Yumiko Abe and Kuri Kimura.
* OnlyOneName: Their surnames are never given in the manga, either anime series or even the Materials Collection.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Yumiko in TheNineties anime. Her only appearance out of her school fuku is an all-pink outfit.
* TheSmartGuy: Kuri somewhat shares the role with Umino in their group, since she seems to care more about her grades than the other girls do.
* SocialCircleFiller: They hang out regularly with Usagi until the other Sailors show up and are then promptly forgotten.
* ThoseTwoGuys: To Usagi, Naru and Umino, before Naru and Umino became this themselves.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Yumiko has [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]], wears girly outfits, acts like a gossipy teen and dreams of being a bride. Kuri has BoyishShortHair, is more bookish and studious than Yumiko (she even goes to CramSchool with Ami) and dresses somewhat more boyishly when out of school uniform.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Kuri isn't ''that'' masculine, just more so than Naru or Yumiko, and she still shares their love for some girly things like sparkly jewelry.
* TookALevelInKindness: While they start out dismissive of Usagi's new friends, they do warm up them once they find out that the rumors about them aren't true. In episode 27, they're seen playing ball with Ami and Makoto.
* TownGirls: Kuri is the butch and Yumiko is the femme to Naru's neither.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Kuri in the first anime (as part of her GirlinessUpgrade), Yumiko in ''Crystal'' (to show she's the GirlyGirl of the two). Technically, their whole class wears blue because of the uniform (bright blue for the girls, dark blue for the boys), but here, it extends to their street clothes.

[[folder:Usagi's Fat Friend]]
!!"Usagi's Fat Friend"
->'''Voiced by''': Mayumi Seto (JP), Creator/KathleenLaskey ([=DiC=]), Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey (Viz) (EN), Belinda Martinez ([=LatAm=])
Another girl in Usagi's class. Distinguished by being chubbier than most girls in the series (hence why she's called Usagi's Fat Friend in the credits). Despite being a recurring character, the writers never gave her a name, apart from the original English dubs.
----
* BitCharacter: Even more so than Yumiko and Kuri. She doesn't even have a proper name! The credits listed her as "Usagi's Fat Friend".
* CanonForeigner: Created specifically for TheNineties anime.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: And it means she probably won’t every appear again because she was only created for the first adaptation. Though unlike Yumiko or Kuri, she wasn't ''quite'' limited to the first season; her last appearance is a brief crowd scene cameo in the second season premier.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: She's always referred to as "Usagi's Fat Friend" in the credits. Averted in the Canadian dub where she's named Loraine in the credits.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: She's Usagi's friend and she's fat.
* {{Gonk}}: Averted. She's chubby but not in any way ugly, being the more cute-looking variety of chubbiness.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Well, named by the dub to be precise. The original English dub named her "Loraine".
* NoNameGiven: Not even the credits give her one. Except in some dubs, Usagi's Fat Friend is all she is ever known as.
* OnlyOneFemaleMold: Averted in her case due to her being chubbier than the other girls, but other than her, there's very little difference in build for any of the other girls except height.
* SocialCircleFiller: Along with Yumiko and Kuri, she only serves as Usagi's friend until her teammates come along.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With a nameless friend and classmate of hers, Usagi's and Naru's (called Brandy in the [=DiC=] dubs) in a few appearances.
* WeightWoe: She's not that much fatter than the rest of the girls, but still noticeably so and is a bit insecure about it. She seems to have been designed that way because her debut episode revolved around this trope.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Usagi's Skinny Friend]]
!!"Usagi's Skinny Friend"
->'''Voiced by''': Naoko Nakamura (JP); Creator/StephanieMorgenstern ([=DiC=]), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (Viz) (EN)
Another friend of Usagi's at the start of the series. Made to be a counterpart to Usagi's Fat Friend (hence why she's called Usagi's Skinny Friend), she doesn't seem to do much beyond hanging out with her friends. She appears in only three episodes.
----
* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the manga.
* LivingProp: After her debut in the weight loss episode, she briefly reappears in episodes 17 and 36 but doesn't do much besides just standing there with the group, and we don't know anything about her, not even her name.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Like her friend "Loraine", she is Brandy in the [=DiC=] dub.
* NoNameGiven: Even worse than Usagi's fat friend, the series doesn't give fans anything to call her. She's just credited as "Female". "Usagi's skinny friend" comes from appearing with and contrasting "Usagi's fat friend".
* TheQuietOne: Proably the least talkative of Usagi's non-Senshi friends.
* SocialCircleFiller: Emphasis on the word filler. All she does is add another person to the group.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Usagi's fat friend. She never appears without her (although the latter can appear without this character).

[[folder:Rui Saionji]]
!!Rui Saionji:
->'''Voiced by''': Satoko Kitou (JP), Nadine Rabinovitch ([=DiC=]), Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey (Viz) (EN)
A famous tennis player and a childhood friend and an honorary big sister to Naru. She began the trend of enemies targeting a single individual for their wants.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: A flashback shows that she was always protective of Naru, who is a year younger than her, when other kids picked on her.
* CanonForeigner: Only appears in the 90s anime.
* CoolBigSis: To Naru. Naru calls Rui her "big sister", which confuses Usagi at first because Naru's mother didn't have any kids before Naru.
* ChildhoodFriend: She and Naru are childhood friends because their mothers are friends.
* DubNameChange: Katie Sandler in the [=DiC=] dub.
* LovableJock: Female example. She goes to the same school as Usagi and the girls, a grade above them, and is the star of the school tennis club.
* OneShotCharacter: Only appears in one episode and is never mentioned again.
* PassionateSportsGirl: She's a famous tennis player who is very enthusiastic about her career and even introduced Naru to the sport when Naru was little.
* TomboyishPonytail: A sporty girl who wears a ponytail.
* VictimOfTheWeek: She was effectively the first true example in the series. Before her, Jadeite would just attack random groups instead of targeting a specific person like Nephrite did starting with Rui.

[[folder:Ryo Urawa]]
!!Ryo Urawa
->'''Voiced by''': Shinichirou Ohta (JP), Eric Kimmel ([=DiC=]), Creator/VicMignogna (Viz) (EN), Creator/YamilAtala ([=LatAm=])
A temporary student at Juuban Municipal Junior High School and the only student known to beat Ami on a test. He has [[spoiler:precognition]], so he already knew that [[spoiler:he's the reincarnation of Bunbo, one of the Seven Great Youma]]. Although there was some romantic chemistry between him and Ami in their two episodes together, he always seems to end up leaving her.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Pulls this off despite being 14 already. He's very intelligent and still has a boyishly youthful look for his age.
* BigOlEyebrows: Most characters have very thin eyebrows, but his are quite thick by comparison.
* BoyOfTheWeek: He serves as a brief love interest to Ami in the two episodes he appears in, and they even go on at least one date, but he promptly vanishes before they become an official couple.
* BrainyBrunette: Has dark brown hair and is the only student known to score higher on a test than Ami.
* TheBusCameBack: In the anime, he only appears a couple of times in the first season before moving away, but he returns for ''Another Story''.
* CanonForeigner: Created specifically for TheNineties anime.
* DoggedNiceGuy: To Ami, though not as pushy as other examples of the trope. It's mainly because she's shy and has trouble with romance in general, though they do go on one date.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names him Greg.
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:Bunbo, one of the Seven Great Youma.]]
* TheFatalist: Mainly because [[spoiler:he can see into the future]]. If it makes him see something bad happening, he pretty much accepts it to be true.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: He gets to keep [[spoiler: his precognitive powers after he loses his Rainbow Crystal and turns back into a human]]. A lot of later problems could have been averted if the Sailor Guardians relied on his abilities more, but he's forgotten after his second episode.
* HeroicSuicide: Forewarned by his [[spoiler:precognitive visions that the Dark Kingdom is coming to extract the Yellow Rainbow Crystal from him and transform him into one of the Seven Great Youma]], he plans to die to keep that from happening. When Ami finds out about his plan, she's very displeased, and ultimately manages to talk him out of his plan.
* LastNameBasis: Often referred to as Urawa instead of Ryo.
* LivingMacGuffin: He turns out to be [[spoiler:Bunbo, one of the Seven Great Youma, and the carrier of the Yellow Rainbow Crystal]].
* LongLostUncleAesop: He shows up as a VictimOfTheWeek who learns not to be fatalistic or cheat on tests just because [[spoiler:he can see the future with perfect accuracy]]; he's one of the rare few to get a second appearance, but after that, he drops off the face of the earth.
* MilitaryBrat: He is implied to be one of these, hence why he's not around for very long. He moves around a lot because his father gets transferred often.
* PairTheSmartOnes: He's a top-grade student just like Ami.
* PsychicPowers: More exactly, [[spoiler: [[{{Seers}} Precognition]].]]
* PutOnABus: Or better said, on a train. He comes back in the Video Game, ''Sailor Moon Another Story''.
* {{Reincarnation}}: The reincarnation of [[spoiler:one of the Seven Great Youma]].
* SecretKeeper: One of the few people who know the Sailor Guardians' identities.
* ShrinkingViolet: Very shy and insecure.
* TemporaryLoveInterest: To Ami. There's a mutual attraction while he's around, and they go on at least one date, but he only lasts two episodes before moving away again. Ami doesn't seem bothered by his absence after that.
* TrainStationGoodbye: Ami says goodbye to Ryo this way when he leaves on a train.
* TwiceShy: When he meets the similarly shy genius Ami, only the intervention of Ami's friends (and her saving him from [[spoiler: his [[EnemyWithin inner great monster]]]]) gets them on a date in one episode.

[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sakurada01.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:221:[[labelnote: Click to see her in the 90s anime]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sakurada00.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChiyokoKawashima (original series), Creator/AkemiKanda (''Crystal'') (JP), Nadine Rabinovitch ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (under Cricket Brown) (Viz) (EN), Creator/CristinaCavalinhos (PT), Creator/MonicaWard (IT)\\
'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Tomoko Otakara\\
'''Portrayed in the musicals by''': Kasumi Hyuuga, Kiho Seishi
The homeroom teacher of Usagi and her friends. She's reached the point in her life where [[ChristmasCake she feels that she needs to find a husband quickly]], which causes her to fall for the Dark Kingdom's schemes a number of times. Her behavior flips between mature and childish, often in the same episode: she does her job with precision, to the point of often cracking down on students like Usagi, but she also tries to preserve her youth by acting more like one of the teenage girls in her class.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: At the end of the radio episode, Usagi is writing a love letter to Tuxedo Mask -- which Naru snatches off her. Miss Haruna comes into the room and -- rather than scolding Usagi for doing it during class -- chases the two around the room, just as excited to read the latter as Naru. The English dub changes this to [[DubNameChange Serena]] lying that it's homework -- which Haruna is still excited to see as Serena's notoriously lazy.
* AdaptedOut: {{Averted|Trope}} in all adaptations. She even appears in the first two musicals, making her the only civilian to appear in every version of the series before Naru and Umino appeared in the [=Nogizaka46=] musical.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: While she's a stern rule-enforcer in all continuities, the '90s anime made her much more temperamental, whereas in other versions of the series, her attitude is more controlled.
* AscendedExtra: When you think about it, she had a much bigger role early in TheNineties anime than in the manga. Then after the Alien Arc of R, she was PutOnABus. She has a valid reason for disappearing once the girls moved on to 9th grade.
* BrainyBrunette: Light brown in the Crystal anime and she ''is'' a teacher, after all.
* ButtMonkey: Frequently laments her ChristmasCake status. And even beyond that, there's the incident where she thinks she is DefiledForever.
* ChristmasCake: And ''how''. She's in a hurry to find a husband, which makes her an easy target for the Dark Kingdom.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She has her moments in the live-action.
* CoolTeacher: She's this in the live-action series, albeit a bit downplayed; she is much more laid-back and friendly, but will assign AfterSchoolCleaningDuty if necessary.
* DamselInDistress: Like Naru, she was a frequent victim of attacks by the Dark Kingdom during the first season.
* DefiledForever: This is what she believes when the second episode of TheNineties anime had Umino (under a monster's influence) flip her skirt up revealing her smiley face panties. She started crying that she wouldn't be able to get married now.
* DesignatedVictim: A frequent youma victim alongside Naru. Her obsession with finding a husband made her an easy target.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Snapping turtle. Thanks to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums, she and Naru are the only civilians who get the same level of AllThereInTheManual stats as the heroines.
* DubNameChange: The original English dub of the original anime names him her Patricia Haruna. Yes, her original given name became her dub surname, possibly over confusion by her being called Haruna-sensei.
* FieryRedhead: Has auburn hair in the 90s anime with a temper to match.
* FirstNameBasis: Her students call her Haruna-sensei. The first English dub switched it to make Haruna her last name, though.
* GenkiGirl: A rare adult example, but she is a rather excitable woman when not lecturing her students.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: The above incident revealed a smiley face on it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Very strict and known to blow her top if her students do poorly or break rules, but cares for all of them and just wants them to succeed.
* KickTheDog: In the Season 2 premiere. Usagi was used to StandingInTheHall, and the bucket thing was something that was done in Japanese schools at the time, but she definitely thought her warning Ami away from her was pushing it.
* LargeHam: Whether she's acting overly strict with her students or behaving like an overgrown teenager, Haruna loves chewing the scenery. Her Viz voice actor takes full advantage of this.
* MarilynManeuver: In the second episode of the original anime, a brainwashed Umino magically lifts up her skirt from the back, and while she's pulls down the front, the back is raised and her pink panties with a smiley face on the rear are seen.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Ms. Haruna arrives late for class, tells the kids that they have a free period, and falls asleep. Naru and Umino note that it's very weird and they get worried after the ambulance comes.
* PersonalityBloodTypes: She's type O, fitting her desirous and determined nature (which manifests itself as a search for love), but also her aggressive temperament.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears pink pretty often, reflecting her vivid personality, romantic side and traditionally feminine vocation.
* SenseiChan: Frequently acts young for her age and engages in doing rather childish things.
* SkewedPriorities: Haruna nearly has a breakdown when a brainwashed Umino flips her skirt. She laments she won't be able to live it down. A more competent teacher would have kicked Umino out for the day.
* SternTeacher: Was very exigent towards Usagi, but genuinely cared for her and her friends.
* TemporalThemeNaming: Meta-example. Creator/NaokoTakeuchi's other series ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', ''Manga/TheCherryProject'' and ''P.Q. Angels'' have characters named Natsuna Sakurada, Akina Sakurada and Fuyuna Sakurada. Collectively, they are named after the four seasons.
* ToughLove: She's quite hard on Usagi most of the time, but that's only to help prepare Usagi for her future. Otherwise, she is on good terms with Usagi outside of school hours.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Peaches, according to the Nakayoshi Anime Albums.
* TwoTeacherSchool: She's basically the one teacher we get to meet during her run in the series.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The Materials Collection reveals that Haruna is afraid of snakes.
* {{Womanchild}}: As stated above, she is shown to be just as childish as Usagi, especially with her boy-crazy tendencies.

[[folder:Higure Akiyama]]
!!Higure Akiyama
->'''Voiced by''': Yuko Mita (JP), Maria Ricossa ([=DiC=]), G.K. Bowes (Viz) (EN)
Usagi, Ami, and Naru's home economics teacher. Though she is engaged to be married in her episode, she initially lacks the confidence to deal with it. After spending her episode as one of Nephrite's targets, she gets to have her happily ever after.
----
* BouquetToss: At her wedding, when she tosses a bouquet, Usagi, Rei, and Haruna all jump for it, but it bounces off all their hands and into the arms of Ami. Everyone is surprised by this.
* CanonForeigner: Only appears in the '90s anime.
* ChristmasCake: She is seen this way by other people, since it's pointed out that she's 34 years old and still unmarried. However, she gets married in the same episode.
* DubNameChange: Helen Lambert in the [=DiC=] dub.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Gets to wear one to her wedding.
* HappilyMarried: Marries her fiancé at the end of her episode.
* HotLibrarian: She's attractive, but because she lacks confidence, she always wears large glasses, dresses modestly, and keeps her hair up in a bun. When she tosses aside this behavior, it's the first hint that something's wrong with her.
* OneShotCharacter: Only appears in one episode of the anime.
* PrimAndProperBun: Usually wears her hair this way.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She has dark blue hair and is pretty timid, so she dresses rather modestly and intellectually.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She stands about a head taller than her short, stout fiancé.
* TwoTeacherSchool: She exists to show that Haruna Sakurada is not the only teacher working Juuban Municipal Junior High School, although she's still the only other teacher seen. She's Usagi, Naru, and Ami's home economics teacher.
* VictimOfTheWeek: She is Nephrite's target in her episode. This causes her to stop acting like her usual self, suddenly acting more assertive and dressing sexily with heavy makeup.
