----
* ActOfTrueLove: According to him, being able to tell the quintuplets apart is this, as one would have to be genuinely close to them in order to be willing to spend the time and effort to distinguish them through their mannerisms, interests, and habits. The quintuplets also share this sentiment, which is why [[spoiler:Miku is so delighted when Fuutarou manages to identify her as the fake Itsuki]].
* BeYourself: Realizing that he is responsible for the quintuplets suppressing their individuality whenever he is around, he tells Fuutarou pass a message to them, telling them to do this. The next time they visit him, they do so with their own individual styles, which seems to delight him.
* OldMaster: He can effortlessly tell the quintuplets apart, and Fuutarou treats him as this when seeking to learn how to do so as well.
* PapaWolf: Don't lay hands on any of his granddaughters if you know what's good for you, as Fuutarou found out the hard way when he grabbed Miku while demanding an explanation as to why she wanted to sever ties with him.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: A downplayed example, but when the quintuplets were children, Yotsuba decided to try distinguishing herself from her sisters by wearing a hair ribbon like the ones she commonly dons as a teenager. This caused the quintuplets' grandfather to falsely think that Yotsuba wanted to look different because she wasn't getting along with her sisters, eventually stressing him out and causing him to collapse. From that point on, the quintuplets took to dressing identically when in his presence, assuming Itsuki's appearance to do so.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka (Japanese), Creator/JoshGrelle (English)
The male lead of ''Go-Toubun no Hanayome''. With a sister and father in perpetual poverty, Uesugi takes up a tutoring job in order to bring in more money for his family. Despite his blunt and harsh way of interacting, he ends up being the Nakano sisters' personal tutor. At some point in the future, he marries one of the quintuplets, but even though she is clearly shown, because they are identical, it's unknown which one of the five it is.
----
* AccidentalPervert:
** The first time when he tried to retrieve his wallet he found Nino wearing her towel, thinking that Fuutarou is Miku.
** The second time when he entered the Nakano's household he found [[spoiler:Ichika]] in her towel, whose first reaction is to throw a bag at him to get out. [[spoiler:An unexpected event she uses to drive the plot of the zero-point score case]].
** A minor time is when he crashed into Miku's chest, who was disguised as Yotsuba at the time, when he was trying to match her with Sengoku trivia. Unlike the other times, it doesn't get discussed.
* BerserkButton: Imply that he's all talk. Miku doing so made him spend days learning everything about Sengoku Warlords just to show him up.
* TheBGrade: Fuutarou normally gets perfect scores, but gets annoyed during finals [[spoiler:that all the girls managed to pass]] that he didn't, which were still high, with the lowest being 87 out of 100.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Cares a lot for his sister Raiha. He even [[spoiler:willingly ditches a field trip he'd been excited about before after hearing that Raiha collapsed from a fever just so he could take care of her while their dad was out.]]
* BrutalHonesty: He lacks tact and loves saying things in the bluntest way possible.
* ClassRepresentative: In the third year thanks to Yotsuba volunteering him, and he becomes popular for being able to tell the sisters apart while doing the job.
* CoolBike: Rides a motorcycle (borrowed from his boss, a pastry chef) to retrieve Nino after she leaves to confront her father. He also reveals he got his license because he was doing delivery work at some point.
* CovertPervert: In the anime's first episode, Fuutarou's first meeting with Ichika has him initially [[MaleGaze lock his eyes on her chest]] for a good couple seconds before they move up to her face.
* DeadpanSnarker: The guy can be a sarcastic jerk to everyone except maybe Raiha every time he appears and opens his mouth.
* {{Determinator}}: He ''will'' make sure all five of the Nakano quintuplets pass their exams.
* FaceOfAThug: Has the look, but is anything but.
* FormerTeenRebel: In this case, more like Former ''Pre-Teen'' Rebel, since Fuutarou (as a second-year high-school student) is stated in Chapter 14 by his father, to have previously been "a wild-type", like himself. Later in that same chapter, it is shown [[spoiler:that Fuutarou originally sported a delinquent look, complete with dyed blond hair and scowl, in a photo from five years before.]]
* FriendlessBackground: Fuutarou starts off as one in school before meeting with the Nakanos, to the point that despite being on friendly terms with most of them, his phone contacts are comprised of just his father and sister. Ichika makes sure to order him to gather all the Nakanos' contacts after the Summer Festival arc is over.
* GoodWithNumbers: In the first episode alone, Fuutarou quickly calculates the menu prices in my head, being very fiscally minded.
* HonorBeforeReason: When he got his first paycheck from tutoring the Nakanos, his first reaction is to reject it since he felt undeserving due to not tutoring as much as he could (despite the fact that it wasn't his fault as the sisters actively rejected his attempts to tutor them).
* HopelessWithTech: Due to his poverty he initially doesn't know how to use the self-locking doors.
* IdiotHair: Fuutarou has two of these, but he's no idiot.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is very unfriendly before his interactions with the Nakanos, but shown to have some code of ethics that he abide.
* LethalChef: During his shift working in a cafe, he realizes that his cooking skills are almost as bad as Miku's.
* ObliviousToLove: Three out of the five quintuplets are actively in love with him, and he has no idea despite at least one of them giving off rather obvious clues. [[spoiler:Nino is the first of the quintuplets to properly convey her feelings towards Fuutarou.]]
* PerpetualPoverty: His family is poor and perpetually in debt. When he's served particularly good cooking, he can't even tell because he's grown up eating bland inexpensive food. This probably shapes his current personality, not willing to lose himself to temptations (like friends, hobbies and especially love) in order to have a secure future for his family. [[spoiler:FlashForwards to his wedding reveal that his financial standing hasn't improved all that much.]]
* PrivateTutor: For the sisters, though it is Deconstructed in that as he is in the same grade as them, they fight him about it, and he is often at his limit in dealing with tutoring them, keeping up with his own studies, and handling their emotional baggage.
* TeamDad: Acts as such for the Nakano sisters. He's usually the person who scolds the girls and gives them tough love during their study sessions, as well as being one of their centers of moral support. [[spoiler:It doesn't help that he looks a lot like their father, as well.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to Volume 3, it says he likes everything that's edible, but he prefers Raiha's cooking.

----
* AchillesHeel: The subjects where the girls got their lowest scores on are as follows:
** Ichika's weakest subject is Social Studies.
** Nino's weakest subject is also Social Studies.
** Miku's weakest subject is English.
** Yotsuba's weakest subject is Maths.
** Itsuki's weakest subject [[RuleOfThree is also]] Social Studies.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: At least as children, they wouldn't be the Nakano sisters if they weren't.
* BookDumb: As they were all nearly held back a year before transferring schools, leading their father to hire a private tutor out of desperation to help whip the five of them into shape; which is where Fuutarou comes in.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Their father believes that Fuutarou is turning them into this, as they become increasingly defiant towards him and apparently prioritize their relationship with Fuutarou over anything he tries to do for them.
* CharacterTic: When Fuutarou is faced with a case of the quintuplets tearing off the names of the zero point test papers, in Chapter 35, his experiences showed that:
** Ichika's sheet is crinkled due to her messiness and writes in cursive.
** Nino would neatly place her sheet in a file.
** Miku's Japanese spelling is good.
** Yotsuba's Kanji is bad.
** Itsuki would use an eraser to get rid of mistakes.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Take a look at the colored text next to the girls in the image to your right[[note]]Ichika and Itsuki's colors are switched, however[[/note]]:
** Ichika: Yellow
** Nino: Dark Purple
** Miku: Blue
** Yotsuba: Green
** Itsuki: Red
* CripplingOverspecialization: Downplayed as their best subjects are still not great compared to Fuutarou, revealed in Chapter 20, the girls individually passed:
** Ichika's strongest subject is Maths.
** Nino's strongest subject is English.
** Miku's strongest subject is Social Studies, due to her interest in historical generals from playing an online game.
** Yotsuba's strongest subject is Japanese, though she claims that she guessed some of the answers.
** Itsuki's strongest subject is Science. She also has an interest in watching biology films.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: As children, they all dressed identically and had the same hairstyle. The death of their mother was the impetus that led to each of them developing her own look and character traits.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Yotsuba (sanguine), Nino (choleric), Itsuki (eclectic), Miku (melancholic), and Ichika (phlegmatic).
* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: A by-product of PragmaticAdaptation on the anime's part, the [[spoiler:quintuplet that Fuutarou ultimately marries]] in the story's FlashForward scenes has her voice unheard by the audience. Instead, her lines are shown onscreen as subtitles. This is to prevent viewers from [[spoiler:identifying the bride via her voice]] as the quintuplets all have distinctive voices in the anime.
* HiveMind: Being quintuplets, they're capable of moving and speaking in perfect unison. However, at the series proper, the girls are already deviating from this, when them having their own distinct personalities and likes. In Chapter 70, Nino even explicitly says that they don't have TwinTelepathy.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Since the quintuplets facially look the same (along with their voices and bust size), the mangaka gives the girls various shades of pink hair in the color pages[[note]]InUniverse however, they're also supposed to share the same hair color[[/note]], as well as accessories, to better help identify them.
** Ichika has the shortest hair of the girls, and she has a piercing in her right ear.
** Nino wears butterflies-shaped ribbons on both sides of her hair.
** Miku has headphones she usually wears.
** Yotsuba wears a ribbon atop her head.
** Itsuki wears star-shaped hairclips, and has an ahoge.
* NewTransferStudent: The Nakanos transfer to Fuutarou's school in their second year, but only Itsuki is in the same class as him, at least initially. In their third year, all of them are put in the same class as Fuutarou.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Ichika, Miku, and Yotsuba (Nice), Nino (Mean), and Itsuki (In-Between).
* PullingTheThread: While their faces, voices, and figures are completely identical, their different hairstyles give them away should they get careless with their appearances whenever they pose as each other.
* RagsToRiches: [[spoiler:Chapter 41 reveals that, before they met Fuutarou, they were actually as poor as him and it was only until their mother remarried to their stepdad that they have money]].
* RichesToRags: [[spoiler:The end of the Seven Goodbyes' arc. In order to have Fuutarou teach them again, they willingly give up their luxurious lifestyle and live in a modest apartment]].
* SiblingYinYang: The sisters all contrast themselves in one form or another, so here are the more obvious ones:
** '''Ichika and Nino''': Ichika is a lazy slob, while Nino is hardworking when it comes to minding the house.
** '''Miku and Yotsuba''': Miku is rather reserved and introverted, while Yotsuba is more hyper and extroverted. The former is also the smartest out of the quintuplets, while the latter is the least intelligent.
** '''Nino and Itsuki''': Both are Type A {{Tsundere}}s, but Nino is somewhat more mature in her temperament than Itsuki (who is far more prone to childish sulking and pouting).
* ThemeTwinNaming: The Nakano quintuplets are [[NumericalThemeNaming named after the Japanese numbers for one to five]], presumably each in order of birth. From oldest to youngest: Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki.
* TwinSwitch: They're capable of posing as each other should the need arise. A few people are still able to tell them apart.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: While they're not ''completely'' unsympathetic, the Nakano quintuplets are primarily characterized as a group of lazy idiots who bring most of their problems upon themselves.

* BadBadActing: When she initially tries out acting (especially when attempting to smile naturally), thus having her career stalled until the Summer Festival starts. Still, she could perfectly imitate her sisters.
** [[spoiler:She still improves upon her craft and manages to impress Fuutarou by praising a pie made from Fuutarou (which is as badly made as anything Miku makes)]].

* GrewASpine: After her mom's death, she took on her role as a big sister too far to the point she is willing to work as hard as possible just to take care of her siblings when they moved out. The Scrambled Eggs arc, with a heart to heart from Yotsuba, decides to be selfish as she used to be as a child, ultimately not using the big sister excuse to step aside and let her sisters claim Fuutarou in the end. The chapter after the arc has her forcing her sisters to work in order to pay the rent.
* HiddenDepths: She started off playing the elder, seductive role in front of Fuutarou, but when she in love, she ended up being more flustered one compared to Miku.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She wants Miku to be happy with Fuutarou when she correctly deduces that Miku has fallen for him despite feeling the same way towards him.
* LockedInARoom: She finds herself in this situation with Fuutarou during their field trip.
* MatchmakerCrush: She initially ships Itsuki and Fuutarou together during the first few chapters, but after noticing Miku's growing affection towards him, eventually jumps ship to wholeheartedly support Miku instead. Of course, this becomes a problem for her when she herself gains a crush on Fuutarou despite genuinely [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy wanting Miku to be happy]].
* MoneyDearBoy: [[spoiler:To support their new living arrangements, she had to work in a lot of roles to help stay afloat]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She has this reaction when she learns just how significant the bonfire dance with Fuutarou was to Miku just as she was about to dance with him when they were accidentally locked in the storage room together during their field trip.]]
** She has another one in Chapter 59. [[spoiler:By (unintentionally) getting the highest average score out of the five of them, she inadvertently ruins Miku's plan of confessing to Fuutarou should she ever get the highest mark. To Ichika, who only wanted her sister happy by supporting her with her crush, her getting the highest score is something she feels is a betrayal to Miku since that would mean Miku's efforts to get the highest score were pointless.]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Sleeps in the nude, and subconsciously strips when she goes to sleep in pajamas.
* ShipperOnDeck: Supports the idea of Miku and Fuutarou getting together, despite ''also'' [[MatchmakerCrush having a crush on him]].
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Often dozing off at the most inopportune of times. To the point that having 8 hours of sleep (which is considered healthy) doesn't fully make her well-rested.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Unintentionally derails Miku's plans to confess to Fuutarou by getting a higher score than her in their final exams.]]
* TheTease: She wastes no time using her charms to playfully make fun of everybody.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Salted fish.
* TrashOfTheTitans: Her room is a disaster area, with shopping bags and other stuff just ''littered'' on the floor.
* TypeCasting: InUniverse. Ichika often gets cast as the first girl to die in low- to middle-budget {{Slasher Movie}}s. She doesn't attempt to branch out for a while because TypeCasting translate into steady income, [[spoiler:which becomes extremely important when the sisters leave their father's place after he bans Fuutarou from the premises.]]

%%[[caption-width-right:196:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyanaTaketatsu (Japanese), Creator/JillHarris (English)
The 2nd eldest daughter. Good at housework and very social. Resistant to Fuutarou due to thinking of her family and is the last to accept him as the quintuplets' official tutor.
----
* AlliterativeName: Both her first and last name start with "N" and end with "no".
* BigSisterBully: Downplayed, but occasionally acts like one to Miku by either bossing her around or teasing her with [[InnocentlyInsensitive harsh, scathing remarks directed at her]]. Unlike most examples though, Nino does sincerely apologize to her if she goes too far.
* BigSisterInstinct: Is aggressively protective of her sisters, serving as the primary fuel for most of her hostility towards Fuutarou.
* BlindWithoutEm: Wears contacts, and her vision is bad to the point where she thought Fuutarou is Miku without them.
* DeathGlare: [[https://i.imgur.com/aFqNHK9.png Has an absolutely TERRIFYING one]], as the track team captain finds out the hard way.
* FieryRedhead: She has the shortest temper of the quintuplets.
* TheGadfly: Subverted. She ''tries'' to be one to Miku for fun but so far, Miku's only reactions to her teasings have either been [[DeadpanSnarker comical apathy]] or near tears, instead of cute annoyance like Nino always expected.
* ImportantHaircut: After her heart to heart with Miku, she decides it is now the time for her to say goodbye to the past and prompts Miku to cut her hair.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Her very (unintentionally) harsh remarks about Miku's bad cooking skills were originally meant to be her way of playfully teasing Miku to get an angry reaction out of her as she expected, but she just wound up getting Miku teary-eyed and nearly crying instead, [[OhCrap prompting her to take it back the moment she sees her expression]].
** [[spoiler:Her comments to Ichika while asking her for love advice, especially her assertion that she'd prioritize her own love over someone who's loved her crush longer and her decision to try and kiss Fuutarou to get him to return her feelings, are unintentionally insensitive since Ichika ''also'' has a crush on Fuutarou.]]
* {{Irony}}:
** Despite hating Fuutarou, when she sees his picture from when he was younger, she immediately declares him to be her type under the misunderstanding that it's a picture of his cousin. Fuutarou just plays along with it.
** [[spoiler:She is both the last of the quintuplets to accept Fuutarou as their tutor and the first of them to give a LoveConfession to Fuutarou that sticks.]]
** [[spoiler:She once condescendingly told Fuutarou that there would probably be "at least one girl on this vast world" that will fall in love with a "[[BrutalHonesty guy with zero tact]]" like him, only to eventually end up falling for him herself. She even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]] during her LoveConfession in Chapter 60 by adding "Well, that's me! Too bad, huh."]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though still somewhat abrasive, she really does love her sisters and it shows, with most of her hostility towards Fuutarou being rooted in her deep-seated fear of him changing her sisters and taking them away from her. After some character development on her end, she becomes a lot nicer and a lot less apprehensive towards Fuutarou.
* LoveConfession: [[spoiler:''Twice'' in the span of two chapters. She initially confesses to Fuutarou at the end of Chapter 59, but the following chapter reveals that he really didn't hear her over the wind while they were riding on a motorcycle rather than just pretending to miss it. She was just about to leave it at that, but then she suddenly turns around and confesses properly and unambiguously. Fuutarou is left stunned into monosyllables.]]
* LoveEpiphany: She has a crush on "Kintarou" (which is just Fuutarou in a blond wig), but after she learns the truth, she struggles with the realization that she is in love with Fuutarou. [[spoiler:She comes to terms with her feelings in Chapter 59, [[LoveConfession outright telling him that she's in love with him]], and repeats it again in the following chapter upon realizing that he didn't hear the first confession.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She's gullible, but she's not stupid. After the second encounter with "Kintarou", she invites him over to her hotel room and pretends that she's too nervous to talk to him half the night, gives him the bracelet that the "Rena" returned to him, then calls down Fuutarou to the lobby to talk and offers him a drink. In that moment, she exposes Fuutarou's lie and then reveals she knew the whole night before leaving him in a spiked drink stupor.
* StealthPun: She wears two butterfly-shaped ribbons in her hair, and is quite successful at making friends compared to her sisters. You could say that she's quite the ''social butterfly''.
* SupremeChef: She is an excellent cook and baker, which contrasts with Miku and Fuutarou, who are awful at it. Sort of wasted on Fuutarou, however, as he has a bland sense of taste due to being raised in a poor family eating cheap food. [[spoiler:This trait ended up helping her when she and Miku compete for a job in a pastry shop where Fuutarou works and it is a cooking contest]].
* SweetTooth: Her preference for sweeter black tea gets her painted as one by Miku.
* TeamMom: The volume 3 extra showed that she has to become this since the other sisters are particularly bad at housework. Also, her initial resistance towards Fuutarou stems from not wanting to be separated from the sisters. Taking away the link from her sisters, Fuutarou is surprised to find out that they are able to communicate smoothly.
* ThroughHisStomach: While she initially invokes this ironically by challenging Miku to a cooking contest to distract her from studying with Fuutarou, she later utilizes this trope for real after [[spoiler:falling for him]].
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:Once she realizes that she's in love with Fuutaro and confesses to him, she becomes significantly nicer to him. She also becomes what Ichika refers to as a "Runaway Train of Love", applying her previous ruthlessness to her romantic pursuit of Fuutaro.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pancakes.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. Unlike Itsuki (who is also one), she never completely drops the act, even after accepting Fuutarou as a part of their group, although her attitude towards him does soften up considerably. [[spoiler:Once she confesses to Fuutarou however, she starts to show him more of her "dere" side.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Needles, to the point where she begs Fuutarou to help pierce her ears because she's too nervous to do it herself, and later has to be dragged away by the other quintuplets to get her vaccinations.

%%[[caption-width-right:189:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MikuItou (Japanese), Creator/FeleciaAngelle (English)
The middle daughter. The most quiet and submissive of the quintuplets. Loves studying history thanks to the games she plays and is the second to accept Fuutarou as the quintuplets' official tutor.
----
* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: At one point she tries to ask Fuutarou out, but in context, he understandably misinterprets it as part of a game of "House" they were playing with a girl they were baby-sitting. While Ichika knew that Miku was being serious, Miku lets Fuutarou think it's part of the game and drops it.
** [[spoiler:Her plan of confessing to Fuutarou after getting the highest score on the final exam out of the quintuplets is derailed at the last second when she realizes that [[SpannerInTheWorks Ichika actually scored higher than her]].]]
* CharacterDevelopment: She becomes more confident in herself after interacting with Fuutarou.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets pouty whenever another girl, especially one of her sisters, gets a little too close for comfort with Fuutarou. She even let out some killing intent when Yotsuba [[spoiler:[[AlmostKiss nearly gives him a smooch on his cheek]] because she was licking cream off his face]] in chapter 51.
* ClosetGeek: She loves Sengoku Warlords, and is rather embarrassed for anyone to find out about it.
* TheComicallySerious: A large source of comedy when it comes to her character comes from her being this, saying and doing funny things without ever changing her expression at all.
* CordonBleughChef: Particularly when compared with her SupremeChef of a sister, Nino. In Chapter 5, Miku's attempt at making omelet rice is a mess but gets subverted with Fuutarou liking the taste just as much as Nino's dish due to his really bad taste buds. However, it's played straight later on in Chapter 23; when after cooking horribly burnt croquettes, Miku then has Fuutarou eat more and more to get it right until he finally comes down with a stomachache.
* CovertPervert: Some of her actions and thoughts in later manga chapters suggest that she's this despite being a bit more innocent than her sisters when it comes to matters of love.
* DeadpanSnarker: Usually towards Nino.
* DeathGlare: She has one that can match Nino's at times, especially [[ClingyJealousGirl if another girl gets close to Fuutarou]] or if someone insinuates that she is in love with him.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: She initially refused to be tutored by Fuutarou, but he wins her over by running her ragged and proving that he is willing to look up enough history to [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame beat her at her own game]].
* DefrostingIceQueen: Like her sisters, she starts off as being frosty towards Fuutarou, but after he wins her over and she slowly falls for him she begins acting much, much nicer to him than before.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Downplayed, but she doesn't like it whenever Ichika forces herself to push Fuutarou towards her (Miku) since Miku believes that all of them deserve a fair shot at Fuutarou while also saying that she wants to win him over with her own efforts instead.
* ExactWords: Yotsuba describes Miku as the smartest of the quintuplets. It's really more of a case of [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative being the best out of the worst.]]
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Her wanting to "share" Fuutarou with her sisters as they all consider each other as "5 equal parts of a whole" conflicted her growing feelings for Fuutarou, at least, until chapter 30 where she realizes that she wants Fuutarou all to herself, knowing full well that she's doing this out of selfishness.
* GenreSavvy: Is aware that Ichika has feelings for Fuutarou and is forcing herself to pair him with Miku because she wants Miku to be happy instead of her. [[spoiler:As of chapter 56, she's beginning to suspect that Nino is starting to harbor feelings towards Fuutarou too.]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Despite being visibly unhappy about it since it derailed her plans of confessing to Fuutarou, she congratulates Ichika on scoring higher than her in their final exams, swearing to work even harder so that she wouldn't lose the next time.]]
* GrewASpine: Growing attached to and eventually falling for Fuutarou turned her into a more confident girl who's more forward with her feelings. Of the five quintuplets, Miku is the most honest and sure of her growing romantic feelings for Fuutarou, resolving to improve her grades so that she can graduate from being Fuutarou's student, to a woman he can see as an equal.
* HairColorDissonance: She initially has the same pink hair as her sisters, but later covers have her hair colored brown (and not even close to her sisters' color schemes).
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Miku is initially the most withdrawn of the quintuplets (and is implied to have been bullied at her old school), wearing some every time she appears (in fact, an extra has stated that nobody has seen her [[GogglesDoNothing properly use them]]). It's later subverted as she opens up to Fuutarou, and even lends her headphones to Itsuki.
* LethalChef: Bad to the point that some of the dishes she makes actually have ''skulls'' appearing on them, though she later improves after Nino teaches and helps her out.
* LoveEpiphany: Confesses to Ichika with all honesty that she loves Fuutarou in chapter 31.
* MasterOfDisguise: Given the right accessories for it (like a ribbon for Yotsuba and a short wig for Ichika) she can near effortlessly [[TwinSwitch pass off as any of her sisters]] at any given time of the day as she can perfectly mimic them right down to their demeanors and personalities (yes, including her [[PolarOppositeTwins polar opposite]] ''[[GenkiGirl Yotsuba]]''). She's noted for being especially good at it too despite how she usually looks.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Miku is (initially) the most withdrawn of the quintuplets.
* NiceGirl: While initially reluctant and resistant to Fuutarou's attempts to tutor her and her sisters, she becomes the second Nakano quintuplet after Yotsuba to accept him, while also becoming the first to openly fall for him. Her interactions with him after her first character arc have her either being wholeheartedly supportive of him, gentle with him, or worried for him. She's even seen helping an old woman cross the street in one chapter.
* PeekABangs: Hair covers her right eye.
* PerpetualFrowner: Her default expression will always be expressionless or gloomy.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Unlike her sisters that wear socks, Miku wears tights to go with her shy personality. Averted in one case when she takes them off because it is hot without a thought of Fuutarou being inches asway from her.
* TheQuietOne: She's the most withdrawn of the Nakano sisters, preferring to speak straightforwardly while uttering only a few words.
* TheStoic: She's the most reserved Nakano quintuplet and her expressions are mostly calm, if somewhat gloomy, though she ''can'' copy her sisters' expressions and mannerisms perfectly when she needs to, even [[GenkiGirl Yotsuba]]. [[NotSoStoic She does however]], get easily flustered whenever Fuutarou [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn catches her off-guard unknowingly]]. [[spoiler:And in the hot spring arc, when Fuutarou is able to figure out that she was the Fake Itsuki she gets happy and glomps him.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's quiet and seemingly inexpressive to strangers but is a total sweetheart when she opens up.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When she runs into Fuutarou in Chapter 61 near the grocery store that's closest to his home, she gives off this line:
-->"I-It's not like I was hoping to run into you that I decided to go to a farther away store based on my memory of the time we came to pick you up. I was just walking and happened to find myself here."
* TearsOfJoy: Sheds these at the [[spoiler:end of the Scrambled Eggs arc, when Fuutarou finally figures out that she is the fake Itsuki solely through her behavior and mannerisms, fulfilling what the quintuplets' grandfather defined as "love" by caring enough to learn how to differentiate them]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Matcha.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Her initial thoughts on love is that why people date the people they like, a statement that even Fuutarou found it surprising.
* WhenSheSmiles: She's usually inexpressive, but when she smiles, it's pretty adorable.

%%[[caption-width-right:169:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura (Japanese), Creator/BrynApprill (English)
The 2nd youngest daughter. A very helpful girl, but reluctant to really say what she wants. The first to accept Uesugi as a tutor, she does so without any problems.
----
* BlatantLies: Chapter 21 is all about her being particularly bad at lying, [[spoiler:though she did had a successful attempt at the end of the chapter, where she lied that she joins the studying session in the first place is because she likes Fuutarou]].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: She cannot say no to anyone who seems like they might need her help. Nino initially exploits this to lure her away from one of Fuutarou's sessions, by saying that the basketball team is short a player. The captain of the track team also tries to use this to guilt-trip her into staying in the club, forcing Nino to impersonate her in order to quit the club in her stead.
* ClassRepresentative: Come year 3 and she and Fuutarou and the sisters are in the same class, she volunteers to be it, and then volunteers Fuutarou to be the other one, much to his chagrin.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: While her sisters have their own quirks, she stands out for being the most eccentric and air-headed out of them while being really cheerful about it.
* CutenessProximity: Like Itsuki, she adores Fuutarou's kid sister Raiha.
* DelayedReaction: It can take a while for the implications of certain statements to sink in for her.
* TheDitz: Despite being the most enthusiastic in being taught be Fuutarou, she also gets the lowest grades out of her sisters; her test grade in Chapter 2? '''''Eight''''' out of one-hundred. Additionally in Chapter 20, not only she has the lowest overall grades out of her sisters again, her score in mathematics is '''''Nine''''' out of one-hundred.
* DumbJock: She's athletically skilled and talented enough in sports that both the basketball team and the track team wanted her to join them full time after they enlisted her in helping them out on two separate occasions. The track team captain even had to resort to guilt-tripping her just so she would stay permanently.
* ExtremeDoormat: She puts other first before herself and during Labour Day with Fuutarou, he pointed out that most of the dates consist of what she thought about the sister and never about herself.
* GenkiGirl: The most cheerful of the quintuplets.
* GreenThumb: Her room, which is not revealed until chapter 37, is filled with plants.
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:The real reason the Nakanos transferred out of their previous school wasn't because they all flunked their grades: it was because only Yotsuba did, and since her sisters refused to separate from her, they all decided to transfer out with her. Since then, Yotsuba believes that she's holding her sisters back and that if it hadn't been for her, they all would have stayed at their more prestigious school instead of their current one.]]
* NiceGirl: The first Nakano to open up to and welcome Fuutarou wholeheartedly without hesitation. She's arguably the nicest out of her sisters.
* TheNoseKnows: At one point is able to track down Nino solely by the scent of her perfume.
-->'''Nino:''' Are you a hound or something?!
* StepfordSmiler: There are hints here and there that she's this despite her cheerful demeanor. [[spoiler:It comes to a head in chapter 56 where she reveals to Fuutarou that she thinks she's holding her sisters back as her flunking her grades in her previous school was the very reason they all transferred in the first place. The guilt's been gnawing at her since.]]
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:One that's done out of relief and happiness and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments it was gratifying.]]]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mikan.
* TwinDesynch: As a child, she was the first quintuplet to try differentiating herself visually from her sisters, by wearing a ribbon like the one that has become her trademark HairDecoration. This caused their grandfather to collapse from worry, thinking that Yotsuba wanted to look different because she did not get along with her sisters. From that point on, the quintuplets took to looking identical when around him, deciding to don Itsuki's appearance.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: When the quintuplets try to think of a way to reward Fuutarou for tutoring them, all of them other than Yotsuba immediately think about kissing him. Yotsuba instead thinks about giving him a medal, and is highly confused about why the rest of the quintuplets are getting flustered.

%%[[caption-width-right:170:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/InoriMinase (Japanese), Creator/TiaBallard (English)
The youngest daughter. The most serious and straightforward of the quintuplets. She was the first sister to meet Fuutarou, though the two get off to a rough start, being the fourth to accept him as the quintuplets' official tutor. She aims to become a teacher.
----
* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:Delivers one to Nino in chapter 39 after the latter goes too far in her antagonism towards Fuutarou and to an extent, Miku. Nino ends up slapping her back in retaliation immediately after and their fight ultimately results in both of them temporarily leaving the household.]]
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of the quintuplets.
* BadBadActing: Noted to be the poorest of the quintuplets at imitating any of the others, largely because she dislikes deceiving others due to her honest nature. Though it's worth noting she does manage a decent impression of Fuutarou in chapter 49.
* BigEater: The girl LOVES to eat. In the first chapter alone, she orders a seven-course meal [[note]]''udon'' noodles, double shrimp tempura, sweet potato, grilled squid, ''kashiwa-ten'', and pudding for dessert[[/note]] costing over 1000 yen overall for a ''school lunch''. She's usually seen munching on something at least once per chapter, and it frequently gets played up for ButtMonkey gags in omake chapters (and occasionally the regular ones).
* CoolBigSis: Acts as one towards Raiha, who also adores her in turn.
* CutenessProximity: Towards Fuutarou's little sister, Raiha.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Absolutely terrified of all things related to horror (though she's still willing to sit through a zombie movie if Ichika is in it).
* HeroWorshipper: Chapter 57 reveals that she's one for her own mother. She looks up so strongly to her mother, she's willing to do anything to be like her as seen by her attempts to be the mother figure for her sisters despite being the youngest as well being wanting to be a teacher just because her mother was one.
* IdiotHair: Has has one of these. [[ExpressiveHair It acts up depending on her emotions; such as drooping when she is dismayed, and standing up when she is nervous.]]
* {{Meganekko}}: Wears glasses while in class and when studying. Her vision doesn't seem to be as bad as Nino's since she doesn't wear them otherwise, hinting that she's most likely just nearsighted and needs them to read print.
* ObliviousToLove: Probably as or more dense compared to Fuutarou, taking her until the Scrambled Eggs arc to know that Miku is in love with Fuutarou, from Miku herself.
* PrettyFreeloaders: After her fight with Nino, she ended up freeloading in Fuutarou's house for a while during the Seven Goodbyes arc.
* {{Pride}}: Fuutarou rejects her initial offer to tutor her (and insults her) before learning that he had been offered a high-paying job of tutoring her and her sisters. By the time he realizes his mistake, she has resolved to not accept his help and instead tries to study on her own for several chapters (despite poor results). They eventually make up and she accepts his help from then on.
* SecretKeeper: The only one who knows just how bad Fuutarou's financial situation is. At his request, she promises not to tell her sisters.
* TeamMom: She took it upon herself to serve as her sisters' mother figure after their actual mother died by trying to be the most level-headed and responsible of them as much as possible despite being the youngest of the quintuplets, though Ichika (the actual oldest sister and the one who takes their feelings into account the most) and Nino (the second born and the most home-oriented of the five) admittedly fit the bill better.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Meat.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. Unlike Nino (who is also one), once she gets more comfortable with Fuutarou she is more able to drop the act.
* WeightWoe: Implied in one of the omakes to be a fair bit heavier than the rest of her sisters (for obvious reasons, see BigEater above), something she is not happy about.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Like Nino, she's very afraid of needles, in addition to ghosts (as mentioned above).

Fuutarou's little sister. A kind and cheerful young girl adored by the rest of the cast.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: She's well aware of her family's financial state, and Fuutarou comments that she often holds back on asking for things she wants because of it. Fuutarou actually spends his first tutoring paycheck on taking her to an arcade simply so she can act like a child for once.
* BigBrotherWorship: Loves and respects her brother more than anything, though she doesn't deny that he can be a real jerk at times.
* CryCute: Doesn't hesitate one bit to use this to get Fuutarou or Itsuki to do what she wants. May or may not be CrocodileTears.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: During the flash-forwards to Fuutarou's wedding, Raiha (now a high-schooler herself) gets several comments on what a beauty she's become.
* ShipperOnDeck: Treats Itsuki like a big sister, and hints several times that she definitely wouldn't mind having her as her actual sister-in-law.
* SupremeChef: While not on Nino's level, she is a capable cook in her own right and does most of the cooking in the Uesugi household. It should be noted that she is this by necessity, as her father is [[WhenYouComingHomeDad often at work]] and her brother is terrible at cooking.

----
* BerserkButton: Child neglect seems to be this for him, as he rails into the quintuplets' father for the way he treats them. [[spoiler:Chapter 32 shows that this remains into Fuutarou's wedding, as Maruo initially neglects to show up.]]
* GoodParents: While often absent, he is generally depicted as a good father who cares about his children's well-being.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He appears to somehow be acquainted with Maruo Nakano, the quintuplets' stepfather though exactly how hasn't yet been revealed.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: He is frequently absent from home, having to work long hours to support his children as a single parent.

[[folder:Maruo Nakano]]
The Nakano quintuplets' stepfather, who married their mother and was left with custody of them after her death. He kickstarts the plot by hiring Fuutarou to tutor the quintuplets.
----
* ChekhovsGunman: He is revealed to be the doctor who did a checkup on Fuutarou at the hospital.
* TheChessmaster: He seems to have a degree of care towards his stepdaughters, and orchestrates things behind the scenes for their benefit without revealing his involvement. To wit, in the Scrambled Eggs arc, he faked contest winning tickets to a RyokanInn as an excuse to take the quintuplets on vacation to see their ailing grandfather, who is the innkeeper. When Fuutarou and the quintuplets move up to their third year in high school, he makes sure that they are all placed in the same class together.
* ForYourOwnGood: He frames his actions regarding the quintuplets in this manner, but they see him as overly domineering and controlling.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Until Chapter 53, he was always shown speaking to Fuutarou and his daughters while shadowed out.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He appears to be somehow acquainted with Isanari Uesugi, Fuutarou's father, though their exact relationship has not yet been revealed. Presumably, this may have something to do with why he hired Fuutarou to tutor his daughters.
* {{Tsundere}}: Isanari frames him as one who disguises his affection for his daughters behind a demeanor of aloofness and distance.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Like Isanari, he works long hours at his job and is often absent from home. Unlike Isanari, he is not particularly close to his stepchildren, who resent him for his attempts to impose order in their lives.

The male lead of ''Go-Toubun no Hanayome''. With a sister and father in perpetual poverty, Uesugi takes up a tutoring job in order to bring in more money for his family. Despite his blunt and harsh way of interacting, he ends up being the Nakano sisters' personal tutor. At some point in the future, he marries one of the quintuplets, but even though she is clearly shown, because they are identical, it's unknown which one of the five it is.

* AccidentalPervert:
** The first time when he tried to retrieve his wallet he found Nino wearing her towel, thinking that Fuutarou is Miku.
** The second time when he entered the Nakano's household he found [[spoiler:Ichika]] in her towel, whose first reaction is to throw a bag at him to get out. [[spoiler:An unexpected event she uses to drive the plot of the zero-point score case]].
** A minor time is when he crashed into Miku's chest, who was disguised as Yotsuba at the time, when he was trying to match her with Sengoku trivia. Unlike the other times, it doesn't get discussed.
* BerserkButton: Imply that he's all talk. Miku doing so made him spend days learning everything about Sengoku Warlords just to show him up.
* TheBGrade: Fuutarou normally gets perfect scores, but gets annoyed during finals [[spoiler:that all the girls managed to pass]] that he didn't, which were still high, with the lowest being 87 out of 100.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Cares a lot for his sister Raiha. He even [[spoiler:willingly ditches a field trip he'd been excited about before after hearing that Raiha collapsed from a fever just so he could take care of her while their dad was out.]]
* BrutalHonesty: He lacks tact and loves saying things in the bluntest way possible.
* ClassRepresentative: In the third year thanks to Yotsuba volunteering him, and he becomes popular for being able to tell the sisters apart while doing the job.
* CoolBike: Rides a motorcycle (borrowed from his boss, a pastry chef) to retrieve Nino after she leaves to confront her father. He also reveals he got his license because he was doing delivery work at some point.
* CovertPervert: In the anime's first episode, Fuutarou's first meeting with Ichika has him initially [[MaleGaze lock his eyes on her chest]] for a good couple seconds before they move up to her face.
* DeadpanSnarker: The guy can be a sarcastic jerk to everyone except maybe Raiha every time he appears and opens his mouth.
* {{Determinator}}: He ''will'' make sure all five of the Nakano quintuplets pass their exams.
* FaceOfAThug: Has the look, but is anything but.
* FormerTeenRebel: In this case, more like Former ''Pre-Teen'' Rebel, since Fuutarou (as a second-year high-school student) is stated in Chapter 14 by his father, to have previously been "a wild-type", like himself. Later in that same chapter, it is shown [[spoiler:that Fuutarou originally sported a delinquent look, complete with dyed blond hair and scowl, in a photo from five years before.]]
* FriendlessBackground: Fuutarou starts off as one in school before meeting with the Nakanos, to the point that despite being on friendly terms with most of them, his phone contacts are comprised of just his father and sister. Ichika makes sure to order him to gather all the Nakanos' contacts after the Summer Festival arc is over.
* GoodWithNumbers: In the first episode alone, Fuutarou quickly calculates the menu prices in my head, being very fiscally minded.
* HonorBeforeReason: When he got his first paycheck from tutoring the Nakanos, his first reaction is to reject it since he felt undeserving due to not tutoring as much as he could (despite the fact that it wasn't his fault as the sisters actively rejected his attempts to tutor them).
* HopelessWithTech: Due to his poverty he initially doesn't know how to use the self-locking doors.
* IdiotHair: Fuutarou has two of these, but he's no idiot.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is very unfriendly before his interactions with the Nakanos, but shown to have some code of ethics that he abide.
* LethalChef: During his shift working in a cafe, he realizes that his cooking skills are almost as bad as Miku's.
* ObliviousToLove: Three out of the five quintuplets are actively in love with him, and he has no idea despite at least one of them giving off rather obvious clues. [[spoiler:Nino is the first of the quintuplets to properly convey her feelings towards Fuutarou.]]
* PerpetualPoverty: His family is poor and perpetually in debt. When he's served particularly good cooking, he can't even tell because he's grown up eating bland inexpensive food. This probably shapes his current personality, not willing to lose himself to temptations (like friends, hobbies and especially love) in order to have a secure future for his family. [[spoiler:FlashForwards to his wedding reveal that his financial standing hasn't improved all that much.]]
* PrivateTutor: For the sisters, though it is Deconstructed in that as he is in the same grade as them, they fight him about it, and he is often at his limit in dealing with tutoring them, keeping up with his own studies, and handling their emotional baggage.
* TeamDad: Acts as such for the Nakano sisters. He's usually the person who scolds the girls and gives them tough love during their study sessions, as well as being one of their centers of moral support. [[spoiler:It doesn't help that he looks a lot like their father, as well.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to Volume 3, it says he likes everything that's edible, but he prefers Raiha's cooking.

----
* AchillesHeel: The subjects where the girls got their lowest scores on are as follows:
** Ichika's weakest subject is Social Studies.
** Nino's weakest subject is also Social Studies.
** Miku's weakest subject is English.
** Yotsuba's weakest subject is Maths.
** Itsuki's weakest subject [[RuleOfThree is also]] Social Studies.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: At least as children, they wouldn't be the Nakano sisters if they weren't.
* BookDumb: As they were all nearly held back a year before transferring schools, leading their father to hire a private tutor out of desperation to help whip the five of them into shape; which is where Fuutarou comes in.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Their father believes that Fuutarou is turning them into this, as they become increasingly defiant towards him and apparently prioritize their relationship with Fuutarou over anything he tries to do for them.
* CharacterTic: When Fuutarou is faced with a case of the quintuplets tearing off the names of the zero point test papers, in Chapter 35, his experiences showed that:
** Ichika's sheet is crinkled due to her messiness and writes in cursive.
** Nino would neatly place her sheet in a file.
** Miku's Japanese spelling is good.
** Yotsuba's Kanji is bad.
** Itsuki would use an eraser to get rid of mistakes.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Take a look at the colored text next to the girls in the image to your right[[note]]Ichika and Itsuki's colors are switched, however[[/note]]:
** Ichika: Yellow
** Nino: Dark Purple
** Miku: Blue
** Yotsuba: Green
** Itsuki: Red
* CripplingOverspecialization: Downplayed as their best subjects are still not great compared to Fuutarou, revealed in Chapter 20, the girls individually passed:
** Ichika's strongest subject is Maths.
** Nino's strongest subject is English.
** Miku's strongest subject is Social Studies, due to her interest in historical generals from playing an online game.
** Yotsuba's strongest subject is Japanese, though she claims that she guessed some of the answers.
** Itsuki's strongest subject is Science. She also has an interest in watching biology films.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: As children, they all dressed identically and had the same hairstyle. The death of their mother was the impetus that led to each of them developing her own look and character traits.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Yotsuba (sanguine), Nino (choleric), Itsuki (eclectic), Miku (melancholic), and Ichika (phlegmatic).
* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: A by-product of PragmaticAdaptation on the anime's part, the [[spoiler:quintuplet that Fuutarou ultimately marries]] in the story's FlashForward scenes has her voice unheard by the audience. Instead, her lines are shown onscreen as subtitles. This is to prevent viewers from [[spoiler:identifying the bride via her voice]] as the quintuplets all have distinctive voices in the anime.
* HiveMind: Being quintuplets, they're capable of moving and speaking in perfect unison. However, at the series proper, the girls are already deviating from this, when them having their own distinct personalities and likes. In Chapter 70, Nino even explicitly says that they don't have TwinTelepathy.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Since the quintuplets facially look the same (along with their voices and bust size), the mangaka gives the girls various shades of pink hair in the color pages[[note]]InUniverse however, they're also supposed to share the same hair color[[/note]], as well as accessories, to better help identify them.
** Ichika has the shortest hair of the girls, and she has a piercing in her right ear.
** Nino wears butterflies-shaped ribbons on both sides of her hair.
** Miku has headphones she usually wears.
** Yotsuba wears a ribbon atop her head.
** Itsuki wears star-shaped hairclips, and has an ahoge.
* NewTransferStudent: The Nakanos transfer to Fuutarou's school in their second year, but only Itsuki is in the same class as him, at least initially. In their third year, all of them are put in the same class as Fuutarou.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Ichika, Miku, and Yotsuba (Nice), Nino (Mean), and Itsuki (In-Between).
* PullingTheThread: While their faces, voices, and figures are completely identical, their different hairstyles give them away should they get careless with their appearances whenever they pose as each other.
* RagsToRiches: [[spoiler:Chapter 41 reveals that, before they met Fuutarou, they were actually as poor as him and it was only until their mother remarried to their stepdad that they have money]].
* RichesToRags: [[spoiler:The end of the Seven Goodbyes' arc. In order to have Fuutarou teach them again, they willingly give up their luxurious lifestyle and live in a modest apartment]].
* SiblingYinYang: The sisters all contrast themselves in one form or another, so here are the more obvious ones:
** '''Ichika and Nino''': Ichika is a lazy slob, while Nino is hardworking when it comes to minding the house.
** '''Miku and Yotsuba''': Miku is rather reserved and introverted, while Yotsuba is more hyper and extroverted. The former is also the smartest out of the quintuplets, while the latter is the least intelligent.
** '''Nino and Itsuki''': Both are Type A {{Tsundere}}s, but Nino is somewhat more mature in her temperament than Itsuki (who is far more prone to childish sulking and pouting).
* ThemeTwinNaming: The Nakano quintuplets are [[NumericalThemeNaming named after the Japanese numbers for one to five]], presumably each in order of birth. From oldest to youngest: Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki.
* TwinSwitch: They're capable of posing as each other should the need arise. A few people are still able to tell them apart.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: While they're not ''completely'' unsympathetic, the Nakano quintuplets are primarily characterized as a group of lazy idiots who bring most of their problems upon themselves.

%%[[caption-width-right:176:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaHanazawa (Japanese), Creator/LindsaySeidel (English)
The eldest daughter. She aims to become an actress. She tends to tease Fuutarou frequently and is the third to accept him as the quintuplets' official tutor.
----
* BadBadActing: When she initially tries out acting (especially when attempting to smile naturally), thus having her career stalled until the Summer Festival starts. Still, she could perfectly imitate her sisters.
** [[spoiler:She still improves upon her craft and manages to impress Fuutarou by praising a pie made from Fuutarou (which is as badly made as anything Miku makes)]].
* BigSisterInstinct: She's the most emotionally-grounded of her sisters and looks out for them the most. She's also the only one providing for them by working in a job.
* BoyishShortHair: Has the shortest hair out of her sisters.
* CoolBigSis: An invoked example to her sisters.
* DudeMagnet: She's really popular among the boys at school.
* ExactEavesdropping: [[spoiler:She ends up overhearing Nino's LoveConfession towards Fuutarou in Chapter 60, right when she herself was considering confessing as well.]]
* TheGadfly: She's fond of teasing both Fuutarou and her sisters out of amusement.
* GrewASpine: After her mom's death, she took on her role as a big sister too far to the point she is willing to work as hard as possible just to take care of her siblings when they moved out. The Scrambled Eggs arc, with a heart to heart from Yotsuba, decides to be selfish as she used to be as a child, ultimately not using the big sister excuse to step aside and let her sisters claim Fuutarou in the end. The chapter after the arc has her forcing her sisters to work in order to pay the rent.
* HiddenDepths: She started off playing the elder, seductive role in front of Fuutarou, but when she in love, she ended up being more flustered one compared to Miku.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She wants Miku to be happy with Fuutarou when she correctly deduces that Miku has fallen for him despite feeling the same way towards him.
* LockedInARoom: She finds herself in this situation with Fuutarou during their field trip.
* MatchmakerCrush: She initially ships Itsuki and Fuutarou together during the first few chapters, but after noticing Miku's growing affection towards him, eventually jumps ship to wholeheartedly support Miku instead. Of course, this becomes a problem for her when she herself gains a crush on Fuutarou despite genuinely [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy wanting Miku to be happy]].
* MoneyDearBoy: [[spoiler:To support their new living arrangements, she had to work in a lot of roles to help stay afloat]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She has this reaction when she learns just how significant the bonfire dance with Fuutarou was to Miku just as she was about to dance with him when they were accidentally locked in the storage room together during their field trip.]]
** She has another one in Chapter 59. [[spoiler:By (unintentionally) getting the highest average score out of the five of them, she inadvertently ruins Miku's plan of confessing to Fuutarou should she ever get the highest mark. To Ichika, who only wanted her sister happy by supporting her with her crush, her getting the highest score is something she feels is a betrayal to Miku since that would mean Miku's efforts to get the highest score were pointless.]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Sleeps in the nude, and subconsciously strips when she goes to sleep in pajamas.
* ShipperOnDeck: Supports the idea of Miku and Fuutarou getting together, despite ''also'' [[MatchmakerCrush having a crush on him]].
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Often dozing off at the most inopportune of times. To the point that having 8 hours of sleep (which is considered healthy) doesn't fully make her well-rested.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Unintentionally derails Miku's plans to confess to Fuutarou by getting a higher score than her in their final exams.]]
* TheTease: She wastes no time using her charms to playfully make fun of everybody.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Salted fish.
* TrashOfTheTitans: Her room is a disaster area, with shopping bags and other stuff just ''littered'' on the floor.
* TypeCasting: InUniverse. Ichika often gets cast as the first girl to die in low- to middle-budget {{Slasher Movie}}s. She doesn't attempt to branch out for a while because TypeCasting translate into steady income, [[spoiler:which becomes extremely important when the sisters leave their father's place after he bans Fuutarou from the premises.]]

%%[[caption-width-right:196:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyanaTaketatsu (Japanese), Creator/JillHarris (English)
The 2nd eldest daughter. Good at housework and very social. Resistant to Fuutarou due to thinking of her family and is the last to accept him as the quintuplets' official tutor.
----
* AlliterativeName: Both her first and last name start with "N" and end with "no".
* BigSisterBully: Downplayed, but occasionally acts like one to Miku by either bossing her around or teasing her with [[InnocentlyInsensitive harsh, scathing remarks directed at her]]. Unlike most examples though, Nino does sincerely apologize to her if she goes too far.
* BigSisterInstinct: Is aggressively protective of her sisters, serving as the primary fuel for most of her hostility towards Fuutarou.
* BlindWithoutEm: Wears contacts, and her vision is bad to the point where she thought Fuutarou is Miku without them.
* DeathGlare: [[https://i.imgur.com/aFqNHK9.png Has an absolutely TERRIFYING one]], as the track team captain finds out the hard way.
* FieryRedhead: She has the shortest temper of the quintuplets.
* TheGadfly: Subverted. She ''tries'' to be one to Miku for fun but so far, Miku's only reactions to her teasings have either been [[DeadpanSnarker comical apathy]] or near tears, instead of cute annoyance like Nino always expected.
* ImportantHaircut: After her heart to heart with Miku, she decides it is now the time for her to say goodbye to the past and prompts Miku to cut her hair.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Her very (unintentionally) harsh remarks about Miku's bad cooking skills were originally meant to be her way of playfully teasing Miku to get an angry reaction out of her as she expected, but she just wound up getting Miku teary-eyed and nearly crying instead, [[OhCrap prompting her to take it back the moment she sees her expression]].
** [[spoiler:Her comments to Ichika while asking her for love advice, especially her assertion that she'd prioritize her own love over someone who's loved her crush longer and her decision to try and kiss Fuutarou to get him to return her feelings, are unintentionally insensitive since Ichika ''also'' has a crush on Fuutarou.]]
* {{Irony}}:
** Despite hating Fuutarou, when she sees his picture from when he was younger, she immediately declares him to be her type under the misunderstanding that it's a picture of his cousin. Fuutarou just plays along with it.
** [[spoiler:She is both the last of the quintuplets to accept Fuutarou as their tutor and the first of them to give a LoveConfession to Fuutarou that sticks.]]
** [[spoiler:She once condescendingly told Fuutarou that there would probably be "at least one girl on this vast world" that will fall in love with a "[[BrutalHonesty guy with zero tact]]" like him, only to eventually end up falling for him herself. She even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]] during her LoveConfession in Chapter 60 by adding "Well, that's me! Too bad, huh."]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though still somewhat abrasive, she really does love her sisters and it shows, with most of her hostility towards Fuutarou being rooted in her deep-seated fear of him changing her sisters and taking them away from her. After some character development on her end, she becomes a lot nicer and a lot less apprehensive towards Fuutarou.
* LoveConfession: [[spoiler:''Twice'' in the span of two chapters. She initially confesses to Fuutarou at the end of Chapter 59, but the following chapter reveals that he really didn't hear her over the wind while they were riding on a motorcycle rather than just pretending to miss it. She was just about to leave it at that, but then she suddenly turns around and confesses properly and unambiguously. Fuutarou is left stunned into monosyllables.]]
* LoveEpiphany: She has a crush on "Kintarou" (which is just Fuutarou in a blond wig), but after she learns the truth, she struggles with the realization that she is in love with Fuutarou. [[spoiler:She comes to terms with her feelings in Chapter 59, [[LoveConfession outright telling him that she's in love with him]], and repeats it again in the following chapter upon realizing that he didn't hear the first confession.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She's gullible, but she's not stupid. After the second encounter with "Kintarou", she invites him over to her hotel room and pretends that she's too nervous to talk to him half the night, gives him the bracelet that the "Rena" returned to him, then calls down Fuutarou to the lobby to talk and offers him a drink. In that moment, she exposes Fuutarou's lie and then reveals she knew the whole night before leaving him in a spiked drink stupor.
* StealthPun: She wears two butterfly-shaped ribbons in her hair, and is quite successful at making friends compared to her sisters. You could say that she's quite the ''social butterfly''.
* SupremeChef: She is an excellent cook and baker, which contrasts with Miku and Fuutarou, who are awful at it. Sort of wasted on Fuutarou, however, as he has a bland sense of taste due to being raised in a poor family eating cheap food. [[spoiler:This trait ended up helping her when she and Miku compete for a job in a pastry shop where Fuutarou works and it is a cooking contest]].
* SweetTooth: Her preference for sweeter black tea gets her painted as one by Miku.
* TeamMom: The volume 3 extra showed that she has to become this since the other sisters are particularly bad at housework. Also, her initial resistance towards Fuutarou stems from not wanting to be separated from the sisters. Taking away the link from her sisters, Fuutarou is surprised to find out that they are able to communicate smoothly.
* ThroughHisStomach: While she initially invokes this ironically by challenging Miku to a cooking contest to distract her from studying with Fuutarou, she later utilizes this trope for real after [[spoiler:falling for him]].
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:Once she realizes that she's in love with Fuutaro and confesses to him, she becomes significantly nicer to him. She also becomes what Ichika refers to as a "Runaway Train of Love", applying her previous ruthlessness to her romantic pursuit of Fuutaro.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pancakes.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. Unlike Itsuki (who is also one), she never completely drops the act, even after accepting Fuutarou as a part of their group, although her attitude towards him does soften up considerably. [[spoiler:Once she confesses to Fuutarou however, she starts to show him more of her "dere" side.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Needles, to the point where she begs Fuutarou to help pierce her ears because she's too nervous to do it herself, and later has to be dragged away by the other quintuplets to get her vaccinations.

%%[[caption-width-right:189:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MikuItou (Japanese), Creator/FeleciaAngelle (English)
The middle daughter. The most quiet and submissive of the quintuplets. Loves studying history thanks to the games she plays and is the second to accept Fuutarou as the quintuplets' official tutor.
----
* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: At one point she tries to ask Fuutarou out, but in context, he understandably misinterprets it as part of a game of "House" they were playing with a girl they were baby-sitting. While Ichika knew that Miku was being serious, Miku lets Fuutarou think it's part of the game and drops it.
** [[spoiler:Her plan of confessing to Fuutarou after getting the highest score on the final exam out of the quintuplets is derailed at the last second when she realizes that [[SpannerInTheWorks Ichika actually scored higher than her]].]]
* CharacterDevelopment: She becomes more confident in herself after interacting with Fuutarou.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets pouty whenever another girl, especially one of her sisters, gets a little too close for comfort with Fuutarou. She even let out some killing intent when Yotsuba [[spoiler:[[AlmostKiss nearly gives him a smooch on his cheek]] because she was licking cream off his face]] in chapter 51.
* ClosetGeek: She loves Sengoku Warlords, and is rather embarrassed for anyone to find out about it.
* TheComicallySerious: A large source of comedy when it comes to her character comes from her being this, saying and doing funny things without ever changing her expression at all.
* CordonBleughChef: Particularly when compared with her SupremeChef of a sister, Nino. In Chapter 5, Miku's attempt at making omelet rice is a mess but gets subverted with Fuutarou liking the taste just as much as Nino's dish due to his really bad taste buds. However, it's played straight later on in Chapter 23; when after cooking horribly burnt croquettes, Miku then has Fuutarou eat more and more to get it right until he finally comes down with a stomachache.
* CovertPervert: Some of her actions and thoughts in later manga chapters suggest that she's this despite being a bit more innocent than her sisters when it comes to matters of love.
* DeadpanSnarker: Usually towards Nino.
* DeathGlare: She has one that can match Nino's at times, especially [[ClingyJealousGirl if another girl gets close to Fuutarou]] or if someone insinuates that she is in love with him.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: She initially refused to be tutored by Fuutarou, but he wins her over by running her ragged and proving that he is willing to look up enough history to [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame beat her at her own game]].
* DefrostingIceQueen: Like her sisters, she starts off as being frosty towards Fuutarou, but after he wins her over and she slowly falls for him she begins acting much, much nicer to him than before.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Downplayed, but she doesn't like it whenever Ichika forces herself to push Fuutarou towards her (Miku) since Miku believes that all of them deserve a fair shot at Fuutarou while also saying that she wants to win him over with her own efforts instead.
* ExactWords: Yotsuba describes Miku as the smartest of the quintuplets. It's really more of a case of [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative being the best out of the worst.]]
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Her wanting to "share" Fuutarou with her sisters as they all consider each other as "5 equal parts of a whole" conflicted her growing feelings for Fuutarou, at least, until chapter 30 where she realizes that she wants Fuutarou all to herself, knowing full well that she's doing this out of selfishness.
* GenreSavvy: Is aware that Ichika has feelings for Fuutarou and is forcing herself to pair him with Miku because she wants Miku to be happy instead of her. [[spoiler:As of chapter 56, she's beginning to suspect that Nino is starting to harbor feelings towards Fuutarou too.]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Despite being visibly unhappy about it since it derailed her plans of confessing to Fuutarou, she congratulates Ichika on scoring higher than her in their final exams, swearing to work even harder so that she wouldn't lose the next time.]]
* GrewASpine: Growing attached to and eventually falling for Fuutarou turned her into a more confident girl who's more forward with her feelings. Of the five quintuplets, Miku is the most honest and sure of her growing romantic feelings for Fuutarou, resolving to improve her grades so that she can graduate from being Fuutarou's student, to a woman he can see as an equal.
* HairColorDissonance: She initially has the same pink hair as her sisters, but later covers have her hair colored brown (and not even close to her sisters' color schemes).
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Miku is initially the most withdrawn of the quintuplets (and is implied to have been bullied at her old school), wearing some every time she appears (in fact, an extra has stated that nobody has seen her [[GogglesDoNothing properly use them]]). It's later subverted as she opens up to Fuutarou, and even lends her headphones to Itsuki.
* LethalChef: Bad to the point that some of the dishes she makes actually have ''skulls'' appearing on them, though she later improves after Nino teaches and helps her out.
* LoveEpiphany: Confesses to Ichika with all honesty that she loves Fuutarou in chapter 31.
* MasterOfDisguise: Given the right accessories for it (like a ribbon for Yotsuba and a short wig for Ichika) she can near effortlessly [[TwinSwitch pass off as any of her sisters]] at any given time of the day as she can perfectly mimic them right down to their demeanors and personalities (yes, including her [[PolarOppositeTwins polar opposite]] ''[[GenkiGirl Yotsuba]]''). She's noted for being especially good at it too despite how she usually looks.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Miku is (initially) the most withdrawn of the quintuplets.
* NiceGirl: While initially reluctant and resistant to Fuutarou's attempts to tutor her and her sisters, she becomes the second Nakano quintuplet after Yotsuba to accept him, while also becoming the first to openly fall for him. Her interactions with him after her first character arc have her either being wholeheartedly supportive of him, gentle with him, or worried for him. She's even seen helping an old woman cross the street in one chapter.
* PeekABangs: Hair covers her right eye.
* PerpetualFrowner: Her default expression will always be expressionless or gloomy.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Unlike her sisters that wear socks, Miku wears tights to go with her shy personality. Averted in one case when she takes them off because it is hot without a thought of Fuutarou being inches asway from her.
* TheQuietOne: She's the most withdrawn of the Nakano sisters, preferring to speak straightforwardly while uttering only a few words.
* TheStoic: She's the most reserved Nakano quintuplet and her expressions are mostly calm, if somewhat gloomy, though she ''can'' copy her sisters' expressions and mannerisms perfectly when she needs to, even [[GenkiGirl Yotsuba]]. [[NotSoStoic She does however]], get easily flustered whenever Fuutarou [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn catches her off-guard unknowingly]]. [[spoiler:And in the hot spring arc, when Fuutarou is able to figure out that she was the Fake Itsuki she gets happy and glomps him.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's quiet and seemingly inexpressive to strangers but is a total sweetheart when she opens up.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When she runs into Fuutarou in Chapter 61 near the grocery store that's closest to his home, she gives off this line:
-->"I-It's not like I was hoping to run into you that I decided to go to a farther away store based on my memory of the time we came to pick you up. I was just walking and happened to find myself here."
* TearsOfJoy: Sheds these at the [[spoiler:end of the Scrambled Eggs arc, when Fuutarou finally figures out that she is the fake Itsuki solely through her behavior and mannerisms, fulfilling what the quintuplets' grandfather defined as "love" by caring enough to learn how to differentiate them]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Matcha.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Her initial thoughts on love is that why people date the people they like, a statement that even Fuutarou found it surprising.
* WhenSheSmiles: She's usually inexpressive, but when she smiles, it's pretty adorable.

The 2nd youngest daughter. A very helpful girl, but reluctant to really say what she wants. The first to accept Uesugi as a tutor, she does so without any problems.
----
* BlatantLies: Chapter 21 is all about her being particularly bad at lying, [[spoiler:though she did had a successful attempt at the end of the chapter, where she lied that she joins the studying session in the first place is because she likes Fuutarou]].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: She cannot say no to anyone who seems like they might need her help. Nino initially exploits this to lure her away from one of Fuutarou's sessions, by saying that the basketball team is short a player. The captain of the track team also tries to use this to guilt-trip her into staying in the club, forcing Nino to impersonate her in order to quit the club in her stead.
* ClassRepresentative: Come year 3 and she and Fuutarou and the sisters are in the same class, she volunteers to be it, and then volunteers Fuutarou to be the other one, much to his chagrin.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: While her sisters have their own quirks, she stands out for being the most eccentric and air-headed out of them while being really cheerful about it.
* CutenessProximity: Like Itsuki, she adores Fuutarou's kid sister Raiha.
* DelayedReaction: It can take a while for the implications of certain statements to sink in for her.
* TheDitz: Despite being the most enthusiastic in being taught be Fuutarou, she also gets the lowest grades out of her sisters; her test grade in Chapter 2? '''''Eight''''' out of one-hundred. Additionally in Chapter 20, not only she has the lowest overall grades out of her sisters again, her score in mathematics is '''''Nine''''' out of one-hundred.
* DumbJock: She's athletically skilled and talented enough in sports that both the basketball team and the track team wanted her to join them full time after they enlisted her in helping them out on two separate occasions. The track team captain even had to resort to guilt-tripping her just so she would stay permanently.
* ExtremeDoormat: She puts other first before herself and during Labour Day with Fuutarou, he pointed out that most of the dates consist of what she thought about the sister and never about herself.
* GenkiGirl: The most cheerful of the quintuplets.
* GreenThumb: Her room, which is not revealed until chapter 37, is filled with plants.
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:The real reason the Nakanos transferred out of their previous school wasn't because they all flunked their grades: it was because only Yotsuba did, and since her sisters refused to separate from her, they all decided to transfer out with her. Since then, Yotsuba believes that she's holding her sisters back and that if it hadn't been for her, they all would have stayed at their more prestigious school instead of their current one.]]
* NiceGirl: The first Nakano to open up to and welcome Fuutarou wholeheartedly without hesitation. She's arguably the nicest out of her sisters.
* TheNoseKnows: At one point is able to track down Nino solely by the scent of her perfume.
-->'''Nino:''' Are you a hound or something?!
* StepfordSmiler: There are hints here and there that she's this despite her cheerful demeanor. [[spoiler:It comes to a head in chapter 56 where she reveals to Fuutarou that she thinks she's holding her sisters back as her flunking her grades in her previous school was the very reason they all transferred in the first place. The guilt's been gnawing at her since.]]
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:One that's done out of relief and happiness and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments it was gratifying.]]]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mikan.
* TwinDesynch: As a child, she was the first quintuplet to try differentiating herself visually from her sisters, by wearing a ribbon like the one that has become her trademark HairDecoration. This caused their grandfather to collapse from worry, thinking that Yotsuba wanted to look different because she did not get along with her sisters. From that point on, the quintuplets took to looking identical when around him, deciding to don Itsuki's appearance.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: When the quintuplets try to think of a way to reward Fuutarou for tutoring them, all of them other than Yotsuba immediately think about kissing him. Yotsuba instead thinks about giving him a medal, and is highly confused about why the rest of the quintuplets are getting flustered.

%%[[caption-width-right:170:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/InoriMinase (Japanese), Creator/TiaBallard (English)
The youngest daughter. The most serious and straightforward of the quintuplets. She was the first sister to meet Fuutarou, though the two get off to a rough start, being the fourth to accept him as the quintuplets' official tutor. She aims to become a teacher.
----
* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:Delivers one to Nino in chapter 39 after the latter goes too far in her antagonism towards Fuutarou and to an extent, Miku. Nino ends up slapping her back in retaliation immediately after and their fight ultimately results in both of them temporarily leaving the household.]]
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of the quintuplets.
* BadBadActing: Noted to be the poorest of the quintuplets at imitating any of the others, largely because she dislikes deceiving others due to her honest nature. Though it's worth noting she does manage a decent impression of Fuutarou in chapter 49.
* BigEater: The girl LOVES to eat. In the first chapter alone, she orders a seven-course meal [[note]]''udon'' noodles, double shrimp tempura, sweet potato, grilled squid, ''kashiwa-ten'', and pudding for dessert[[/note]] costing over 1000 yen overall for a ''school lunch''. She's usually seen munching on something at least once per chapter, and it frequently gets played up for ButtMonkey gags in omake chapters (and occasionally the regular ones).
* CoolBigSis: Acts as one towards Raiha, who also adores her in turn.
* CutenessProximity: Towards Fuutarou's little sister, Raiha.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Absolutely terrified of all things related to horror (though she's still willing to sit through a zombie movie if Ichika is in it).
* HeroWorshipper: Chapter 57 reveals that she's one for her own mother. She looks up so strongly to her mother, she's willing to do anything to be like her as seen by her attempts to be the mother figure for her sisters despite being the youngest as well being wanting to be a teacher just because her mother was one.
* IdiotHair: Has has one of these. [[ExpressiveHair It acts up depending on her emotions; such as drooping when she is dismayed, and standing up when she is nervous.]]
* {{Meganekko}}: Wears glasses while in class and when studying. Her vision doesn't seem to be as bad as Nino's since she doesn't wear them otherwise, hinting that she's most likely just nearsighted and needs them to read print.
* ObliviousToLove: Probably as or more dense compared to Fuutarou, taking her until the Scrambled Eggs arc to know that Miku is in love with Fuutarou, from Miku herself.
* PrettyFreeloaders: After her fight with Nino, she ended up freeloading in Fuutarou's house for a while during the Seven Goodbyes arc.
* {{Pride}}: Fuutarou rejects her initial offer to tutor her (and insults her) before learning that he had been offered a high-paying job of tutoring her and her sisters. By the time he realizes his mistake, she has resolved to not accept his help and instead tries to study on her own for several chapters (despite poor results). They eventually make up and she accepts his help from then on.
* SecretKeeper: The only one who knows just how bad Fuutarou's financial situation is. At his request, she promises not to tell her sisters.
* TeamMom: She took it upon herself to serve as her sisters' mother figure after their actual mother died by trying to be the most level-headed and responsible of them as much as possible despite being the youngest of the quintuplets, though Ichika (the actual oldest sister and the one who takes their feelings into account the most) and Nino (the second born and the most home-oriented of the five) admittedly fit the bill better.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Meat.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. Unlike Nino (who is also one), once she gets more comfortable with Fuutarou she is more able to drop the act.
* WeightWoe: Implied in one of the omakes to be a fair bit heavier than the rest of her sisters (for obvious reasons, see BigEater above), something she is not happy about.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Like Nino, she's very afraid of needles, in addition to ghosts (as mentioned above).

%%[[caption-width-right:223:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsumiTakamori (Japanese), Dani Chambers (English)
Fuutarou's little sister. A kind and cheerful young girl adored by the rest of the cast.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: She's well aware of her family's financial state, and Fuutarou comments that she often holds back on asking for things she wants because of it. Fuutarou actually spends his first tutoring paycheck on taking her to an arcade simply so she can act like a child for once.
* BigBrotherWorship: Loves and respects her brother more than anything, though she doesn't deny that he can be a real jerk at times.
* CryCute: Doesn't hesitate one bit to use this to get Fuutarou or Itsuki to do what she wants. May or may not be CrocodileTears.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: During the flash-forwards to Fuutarou's wedding, Raiha (now a high-schooler herself) gets several comments on what a beauty she's become.
* ShipperOnDeck: Treats Itsuki like a big sister, and hints several times that she definitely wouldn't mind having her as her actual sister-in-law.
* SupremeChef: While not on Nino's level, she is a capable cook in her own right and does most of the cooking in the Uesugi household. It should be noted that she is this by necessity, as her father is [[WhenYouComingHomeDad often at work]] and her brother is terrible at cooking.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hamburger.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Isanari Uesugi]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatoshiHino (Japanese), Jim Foronda (English)
Fuutarou and Raiha's father. He is often absent at home due to the fact that he needs to work long hours to support his children.
----
* BerserkButton: Child neglect seems to be this for him, as he rails into the quintuplets' father for the way he treats them. [[spoiler:Chapter 32 shows that this remains into Fuutarou's wedding, as Maruo initially neglects to show up.]]
* GoodParents: While often absent, he is generally depicted as a good father who cares about his children's well-being.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He appears to somehow be acquainted with Maruo Nakano, the quintuplets' stepfather though exactly how hasn't yet been revealed.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: He is frequently absent from home, having to work long hours to support his children as a single parent.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Maruo Nakano]]
The Nakano quintuplets' stepfather, who married their mother and was left with custody of them after her death. He kickstarts the plot by hiring Fuutarou to tutor the quintuplets.
----
* ChekhovsGunman: He is revealed to be the doctor who did a checkup on Fuutarou at the hospital.
* TheChessmaster: He seems to have a degree of care towards his stepdaughters, and orchestrates things behind the scenes for their benefit without revealing his involvement. To wit, in the Scrambled Eggs arc, he faked contest winning tickets to a RyokanInn as an excuse to take the quintuplets on vacation to see their ailing grandfather, who is the innkeeper. When Fuutarou and the quintuplets move up to their third year in high school, he makes sure that they are all placed in the same class together.
* ForYourOwnGood: He frames his actions regarding the quintuplets in this manner, but they see him as overly domineering and controlling.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Until Chapter 53, he was always shown speaking to Fuutarou and his daughters while shadowed out.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He appears to be somehow acquainted with Isanari Uesugi, Fuutarou's father, though their exact relationship has not yet been revealed. Presumably, this may have something to do with why he hired Fuutarou to tutor his daughters.
* {{Tsundere}}: Isanari frames him as one who disguises his affection for his daughters behind a demeanor of aloofness and distance.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Like Isanari, he works long hours at his job and is often absent from home. Unlike Isanari, he is not particularly close to his stepchildren, who resent him for his attempts to impose order in their lives.
