History Characters / UruseiYatsuraTomobiki

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Simply vanishes between episode 23 and episode 24, and is never mentioned again. Possibly, he was fired for his brutal teaching methods and inappropriate attraction to a teenager (along with the first Class 2-4 teacher from the second episode for the latter's failure to control his class which led to Kuribayashi being hired in the first place) and subsequently replaced by the more upstanding in comparison though incompetent and comically frustrated Onsen-Mark.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The 1981 anime initially has a completely different principal, with a different appearance and a far more emotional reaction to all the chaos and calamity going on at Tomobiki High. Eventually, he morphs into the manga version of the principal, who was far more stoic but also quite weird in his own right.

* VillainDecay: Was a rather menacing SadistTeacher in his debut, while later episodes made him more of a pathetic chewtoy with an underpaid job.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Simply vanishes between episode 23 and episode 24, and is never mentioned again.

* VocalDissonance: In the original anime, Sakura has a low and gruff voice that makes her sound like a middle-aged woman. The ''All-Stars'' anime does give her a voice that matches her age and beauty.

A 1981 anime-exclusive teacher for Class 2-4 who debuts in the 16th episode. He only appears for a brief span, vanishing after his final appearance in the 23rd episode. He is a tough, brutal, no-nonsense teacher who is hired by the anime's initial version of the principal to try and bring order to Class 2-4, "the cancer of Tomobiki High". He takes an immediate dislike to Ataru, and subjects him to what is blatantly bullying. He's also a pervert with a thing for beautiful women, falling in love with Lum, Mrs. Mendo and Lum's mother during his brief stay in the class.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Simply vanishes between episode 23 and episode 24, and is never mentioned again.

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Perm has alot of similarities with Kousuke including taking his role in almost all anime adaptations of stories where Kousuke plays the role and being the friendliest to Ataru among the Stormtroopers, but was thought to be a different character. However anime materials and model sheets confirm Perm is in-fact meant to be the same character and his real name is the same as Kousuke.

* FaceOfAThug: He has a brutish, hard-featured face, which meshes with his characterization as a stern, ruthless, even cruel and bullying man.
* LoliconAndShotacon: He develops a ''raging'' crush on Lum at first sight, to the point the anime even explains what a lolicon is. This causes him to become insanely jealous of Ataru, which in turn leads to Ataru to humiliate him by setting him up on a phony date with Lum to expose his unseemly feelings. Weirdly, in the very next mini-episode, he is shown swooning over the mature beauty and elegance of Shutaro and Lum's mothers.
* SadistTeacher: He calls Ataru ugly to his face and says that gives him all the justification he needs to bully Ataru, and repeatedly subjects him to physical abuse.

* AscendedExtra: In the manga, they only show up for the first few chapters then leave once Mendou appears, with their last appearance being in chapter 28. In the anime, however, the four are regulars, especially Megane.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They vanish from the manga shortly after Mendou shows up.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: They're never given names in the manga. Their only known names come from the anime and its supplementary materials.

* PervertAlliance: They're a band of four losers united by their mutual lust for the [[CuteMonsterGirl beautiful]] {{oni}} Lum and their mutual envy of Ataru. Each of them would happily stab the others in the back if they thought they could get Lum all to himself, but since she's loyal to Ataru, they're able to work together to try and break her relationship to him. They're even able to work ''with'' Ataru on the rare occasion when it seems like Mendo may be supplanting Ataru in Lum's affections.

** Subverted(?) with Benten and Kurama. Ryuunosuke ''immediately'' makes it known that she has no attraction to Kurama, and immediately tries to dissuade her from courting her by revealing her true gender, despite the crow goblins meddling. With Benten, whilst Benten seems amused and even flattered when she's told that Ryuunosuke is a boy with a crush on her, that information comes from Ryuunosuke's delusional father and Ryuunosuke never evidences any sign of attraction to the alien {{tomboy}} -- in fact, their first encounters revolve around Ryuunosuke's ''dislike'' of Benten for clashing with Ryuunosuke's idealized image of what girls are like.
** Whilst Nagisa's feelings for Ryuunosuke are undeniable from the start, the idea that she might come to return them does get teased in Nagisa's second appearance. In the second chapter, after a bedstricken Nagisa complains that he feels like he's going to disappear after being touched by Sakura's exorcism ofuda, she gets genuinely worried for a moment, and is legitimately upset when he seems to have vanished. After he beats her and then explains he took it easy because he doesn't want to hurt her due to liking her, she seems legitimately touched. Finally, when the heartbroken Nagisa is leaving, commenting on how Ryuunosuke hates him, she stops him and orders him to stay with her until she gets good enough to beat him in a fight.

* {{Lolicon}}: He develops a ''raging'' crush on Lum at first sight, to the point the anime even explains what a lolicon is. This causes him to become insanely jealous of Ataru, which in turn leads to Ataru to humiliate him by setting him up on a phony date with Lum to expose his unseemly feelings. Weirdly, in the very next mini-episode, he is shown swooning over the mature beauty and elegance of Shutaro and Lum's mothers.

* CharacterCatchphrase: One of the few characters where this isn't exaggerated by {{fanon}}. She is constantly spouting "I'm a chick, dammit!!!" (literally "I'm a girl" in the most ''masculine'' words in Japanese) when her idiot father calls her a boy or "his son".

* CatchPhrase: One of the few characters where this isn't exaggerated by {{fanon}}. She is constantly spouting "I'm a chick, dammit!!!" (literally "I'm a girl" in the most ''masculine'' words in Japanese) when her idiot father calls her a boy or "his son".

* OreOnna: She uses "ore", a hyper-masculine and rather rude personal pronoun. Her catchphrase is the [[IResembleThatRemark rather self-defeating]] "Ore wa onna da zo!" ("I'm a (woman/chick), dammit!"). Lampshaded and made more ridiculous by Ataru and Mendou trying to teach her to talk like a girl and showing themselves really proficient at it.

* AscendedExtra: In the manga, they only show up for the first few chapters then leave once Mendou appears. In the anime, however, the four are regulars, especially Megane.

->Voiced by: Creator/MayumiTanaka (JP, original series), Creator/AyahiTakagaki (JP, ''All-Stars''), Morgan Jarrett (EN, movies 3-5), Kimberli Wayman (EN, movie 2)

* TomboyishName: She has one of the most stereotypically masculine names that can exist in Japanese. To explain: As a rule, -suke is masculine, it's almost like -son (Jacobson, etc.) in English. Further, Ryu means dragon and is never a part of a girl's name (the homophone Ryu means "willow"). This is due to the fact her father is one of the most extreme examples of 'wanted a boy' in fiction - he forces her to act, talk, dress, and pretend to be a boy when she wants to be feminine… which she can't pull off because of her upbringing.

[[folder: Sanjuro Kuribayashi]]

[[folder: Hanawa]]

* AscendedExtra: Zigzagged in the anime; he debuts in episode 33, three episodes before Onsen Mark debuts, but he appears in fewer anime episodes than he does in comparable manga chapters, and only has three speaking appearances.

[[folder: Ryuunosuke Fujinami]]

[[folder: Kousuke Shirai]]

The bespectacled leader of the group, a manic Otaku who worships Lum and the only one to take the club seriously. The most focused of the group. His real name is officially "Satoshi".

A tall and thin teenager with a perm hairdo. More athletic then the other stormtroopers, Perm takes the club most casually of the Stormtroopers. Perm receives the second most focus of the Stormtroopers. His real name is officially "Kousuke", as he's supposed to be a modified version of that character from the anime.

A short teenager with buck teeth. A rather wimpy boy who collects models. His real name is officially "Akira".

A large, shy teenager with a crewcut. Kakugari is a close friend of Chibi and likes wrestling. His real name is officially "Hiroyuki".

* AllAmazonsWantHercules: When Sakura asks Ryuunosuke what she'd want in a boyfriend, after a few minutes thought, Ryuunosuke she wants somebody who is "tough and wild like the sea, and stronger than me".

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: She's the Masculine Girl to Nagisa's Feminine Boy. Ironically, she uses this trope as an excuse to dislike Nagisa all the more, since she ''wants'' to be normal, but Nagisa happily embraces his gender-blender nature.

* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Her father is a middle-aged man with unflattering looks, but Ryuunosuke is very attractive in a {{Bifauxnen}} way. Apparently, she takes after her mother, but it's impossible to know for sure because not even her father remembers how her mother looked like.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The principal has a very slow and proper way of talking and he has a tendency to spew out boring speeches about school spirit that never seem to go anywhere. In an early manga story, when he learns Ataru has been caught holding a secret vote on who is the most beautiful girl at Tomobiki in class, he decides to hold a schoolwide beauty contest... which promptly turns farcical by including an EatingContest and an unarmed brawl against wild animals donated by the local zoo.

* BigEater: In the manga's 5th volume, she partakes in a MegaMealChallenge, in which she consumes, in order: a plate of spaghetti, a 300g steak with buttered rice, rare bonito with fresh-cooked rice, a whole roast chicken, five-treasures fried noodles, a wild duck stuffed with vegetables, a cake, a roast leg of lamb, a whole roast turkey, a whole ''pig'', and finally '''a whole roast COW!''' ''And'' not only are these just the dishes shown on-page, of a meal that contains over 15 courses, but she ate all of this after consuming two "Mannon Rise" diet pills, just ''one'' of which magnifies the stomach's perception of its fullness by '''300 percent'''. ''And'' she was still peckish afterwards! A short essay on Sakura at the end of the first 2-in-1 English manga even notes that Sakura must have an exorbitant food bill to pay for such a monstrous appetite.

* FriendlessBackground: Due to being DelicateAndSickly as a child, she didn't have the opportunity to play or have friends, giving her a lonely childhood.

* {{Hypocrite}}: She repeatedly chides Cherry as a glutton and a mooch, but she herself is shown mooching food on more than one occasion.

* MeaningfulName: Sakura means "cherry blossoms".
* TheMedic: As both a nurse and a shrine maiden, characters tend to seek her out when they have some health problem, even if it's supernatural.
* MegaMealChallenge: She absolutely loves these as each time she does 'em it's a CurbStompBattle in her favour. In the Hell Course challenge at a beach hotel banquet, she continues long past Cherry and Ataru's losses and ends up eating the hotel out of everything except some dessert (a feat that no one has done before, and this after she had an appetite suppressant pill). For her these events are just an opportunity for free food.

* NeverGetsFat: She's actually the [[BigEater biggest eater]] in the cast (except maybe Rei), but her figure never changes no matter how much she eats. The closest that she comes to subverting this trope is when she tries to rest on a floating recliner after a MegaMealChallenge, only for it to sink under her newly increased yet invisible weight.

* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Her mother and uncle are {{Gonk}}y MiniatureSeniorCitizens, while Sakura is a bombshell.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Has the deepest voice amongst the female cast, and is quite dangerous herself.

* ContraltoOfDanger: In the anime, she has one of the deepest voices of any girl in the series.

->Voiced by: Creator/KappeiYamaguchi (JP, 2008 OVA), Shinya Takahashi (JP, ''All-Stars'')

->Voiced by: Creator/AkiraKamiya (JP, original series), Jun Inoue (JP, ''All-Stars'')

* OddFriendship: He is accompanied by the ghost cat Kotatsu-neko on almost every occasion.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: No one respects him, and is often abused or beaten up by Ataru or other students.

** When Ryuunosuke was taking lessons from Onsen to be a proper lady, her father, spread the slanderous rumor that Onsen was forcing her to date him.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being a very angry man, Mark really ''does'' have his students' best interests at heart, and is even one of the few adults to inquire about Fujinami's questionable parenting.

* FaceOfAThug: He has a brutish, hard-featured face

* SadistTeacher: He calls Ataru ugly to his face and says that gives him all the justification he needs to bully Ataru, and repeatedly abuses him by using him as a blackboard eraser, mop, baseball bat and trampoline.

* CatchPhrase: "I'm a chick, dammit!!!"
* ChickMagnet: {{Lampshaded}}. Ryuunosuke herself notes that she gets ''much'' larger hauls of Valentine's Day chocolates and love letters than Shutaro Mendo, who was ''the'' most popular guy in school before she arrived.

* IconicSequelCharacter: She doesn't appear until the 15th volume, but since her introduction she quickly becomes a fairly prominent character, usually hanging out with the core cast and getting a lot of focus and ADayInTheLimelight.

* HiddenDepths: Discussed in the manga's special chapter, where it's revealed that he's actually quite popular with the girls in school.

* SuckySchool: The teachers and Principal frequently run extremely dangerous competitions and resort to ruthless tactics to keep their rowdy students in line.

Megane, Perm, Chibi, and Kakugari. Four schoolboys from the same class as Ataru who are in love with Lum and have sworn to protect her from Ataru.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Megane and Chibi have darker hair colors in the ''All-Stars'' anime than they did in the first anime.

The bespectacled leader of the group, a manic Otaku who worships Lum and the only one to take the club seriously. The most focused of the group.

* {{Otaku}}: Megane is a caricature of a crazed, obsessed otaku taken to an extreme. The best hits are the battle armor he built for himself and the ability to identify on sight the exact variant of a tank-and operate it. The group are also fanboys of ''Franchise/StarWars'' in particular; the group are named after the villainous {{Mooks}} from that series and they collectively [[https://youtu.be/94L50k52Ekw?t=33 have a Star Wars-themed mental breakdown]] when Lum proclaims her body belongs to her Darling.

A tall and thin teenager with a perm hairdo. More athletic then the other stormtroopers, Perm takes the club most casually of the Stormtroopers. Perm receives the second most focus of the Stormtroopers.

A short teenager with buck teeth. A rather wimpy boy who collects models.

A large, shy teenager with a crewcut. Kakugari is a close friend of Chibi and likes wrestling.

* AscendedExtra: Even compared to the other four members, Megane is prominent in the 1981 anime. He gets so much screentime and character focus he is essentially a main character alongside Mendou.
