* FanBoy: They are both implied to be otaku.

** Mano tries to invoke this in Chapter 93 by acting friendly with Nishikata, hoping to make Nakai jealous and ask her to walk home together (since it's usually her asking him).

* TheReveal: As the manga goes on, more and more information is revealed about her and Hamaguchi. For example, Chapter 79 shows that they walk home together, Chapter 108 shows they walk together until their paths diverge (which Chapter 146 reveals is actually right next door to each other) and both Chapters 119 and 146 show that the two of them are close enough that Hojo doesn't feel the need to keep up her mature act around him.

* ChildhoodFriends: He and Chi first meet in Chapter 93 of ''(Moto) Takagi-san'' at a park as little kids, although he refuses to play with her at first. He remembers having played with her when they reunite as students, but Chi doesn't.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: In Chapter 93 of ''(Moto) Takagi-san'', he and Chi first met at a park when Chi is in kindergarten, where he refuses to play with her and later beats her in arm wrestling. When they reunite in middle school, it turns out she's forgotten their meeting whereas he hasn't; this is noteworthy, as it's pointed out he's bad at remembering old classmates and would likely only remember someone he likes (in this case, Chi).

* LoveConfession: [[spoiler:He confessed to Chi in chapter 296 of ''(Moto) Takagi-san'' because he's moving and he won't be able to meet her. They wouldn't meet again until middle school]].

* NoNameGiven: For most of ''(Moto) Takagi-san'' he remains unnamed, until the first chapter of ''Karakai Jouzu (?) no Nishikata-san'' reveals that his name is Ooshiro.

* MoralPragmatist: She's not a bully. The worst her schemes do is get Nishikata in trouble with their teacher. However, she's totally fine with lying or cheating to win a "game".

* ButtMonkey: Chi usually doesn't get her way with her mother and classmate no matter how hard she tries.

** The similarities become even more pronounced when Chi becomes a middle schooler herself, where the teasing routine is repeated with a boy. Unfortunately for Chi, she takes her father's place in these shenanigans.

Takagi and Nishikata's daughter. She is one of the main characters of ''Karakai Jōzu no (Moto) Takagi-san'', along with her mom.

[[folder:Chi's Classmate]]
!!Chi's Classmate

* NoNameGiven: He has made few appearances, so his name has yet to be revealed.
* SpearCounterpart: To Takagi in middle school. Chi, like her dad, tries to play games with her next-seat classmate, only to lose unexpectedly every time. However, unlike Takagi, Chi's Classmate is less playful nor he's as coy towards Chi as Takagi was towards Nishikata.

* BabiesEverAfter: In Chapter 285 of (Moto) Takagi-san, it's revealed that Mano is expecting.

* TranquilFury: Chapter 98 of ''(Moto) Takagi-san'' has her and Chi come home to find Nishikata just ate a limited edition pudding she'd waited in a very long line to get. She offers to forgive Nishikata if he beats her in an arm wrestling contest, making him think that this is her way to allow him save face in front of Chi. She then states that he can only use one finger. Once the match begins, she starts putting all her strength into her arm.
