** When Erika starts getting friendly with Kimura, he ''breaks her phone in half'' and demands that she never speak to him again. (Keep in mind, this is ''before'' they're dating for real. Erika even pointedly reminds him of their fake relationship.)
** He acts like this when he sees Kusakabe carrying one of the chocolates Erika made for him. He acts rude to her when she tries giving him the rest of the chocolates and storms off, refusing to hear why she gave Kusakabe chocolate to begin with. This leads Takeru to point out that he's jealous of Erika giving chocolates to another guy. (In Japan, giving chocolates to someone is a big sign of romantic interest. However, "friend chocolates" are also a thing, which Takeru also reminds him of.) He dismisses this, however, although Takeru states how obvious his jealousy is.
** When Erika is going to go camping with friends, he is initially adamant about not going whatsoever. When he is reminded of boys who will possibly try to flirt with Erika, [[GilliganCut he's suddenly interested in going]]. When Erika asks what made him change his mind, he waves off the question.

** Two times he wanted Erika to quit her job under fear of her getting male attention. First was when she briefly worked at Takeru's family restaurant and he drops by to see her. Upon seeing her waitressing in a maid uniform being ''well'' appreciated by male customers, Kyouya is ''fuming''. He drags her outside and demands she quit on the spot. Even when Takeru defends Erika's hard work, he won't hear it; he does ''not'' want her working there. (This results in ''him'' taking over her role at work instead.) The second time is when she worked at a movie rental store and he learns her co-worker Terasaki is her former classmate who once [[LoveConfession confessed]] to her. He drops by the store "just wanting to rent a movie" and subtly intimidates him (as Erika thinks he is being friendly when he is actually being anything but). He drops the request, however, when seeing how much the job meant to her.

* JerkassHasAPoint: He sees through Kamiya's ploy to get him to be with multiple girls. In the anime, Kamiya tries to convince him that having multiple girls and flings is more fun than one serious relationship. In an attempt to prove this, Kamiya tells him that he has 500 girls phone numbers and therefore he is having "500x more fun than him". Kyouya easily counters the argument by saying that no matter "how much trash he picks up", all he has is "a pile of trash". Kamiya is absolutely stunned and is left questioning his lifestyle.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite treating her like dirt, he ''does'' care about Erika and does certain things that aren't necessary for the façade. As the storyline goes on, especially in the manga, he grows to become more and more loving and considerate towards her. He leans more towards having a simple "heart of Gold" after he and Erika got hitched.

* SentimentalDrunk: In the manga epilogue, which takes place after the two are married and have a daughter, Kyouya goes out drinking with his friends and comes home drunk. Erika is near giddy about this as she ''loves'' it when he's drunk because he becomes "more affectionate" with her. After confirming their daughter is sleeping, he begins kissing Erika and asks to "make a second one" before the scene...

* JerkassHasAPoint: He sees through Kamiya's ploy to get him to be with multiple girls. In the anime, Kamiya tries convincing him that having multiple girls and flings is more fun than one serious relationship. In an attempt to prove this, Kamiya tells him that he has 500 girls phone numbers and therefore he is having "500x more fun than him". Kyouya easily counters the argument by saying that no matter "how much trash he picks up", all he has is "a pile of trash". Kamiya is absolutely stunned and is left questioning his lifestyle.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaeIto
->'''Portrayed by:''' Fumi Nikaido

The female lead. She's a first-year high school girl who's determined to make friends. When trying to fit in with a pair of classmates, she starts lying to them about having a boyfriend. For the first two months, they believed her, but were starting to get suspicious when she refused to talk about him in detail and never showed a picture of him. She takes a picture of Kyouya, not realizing that he was a classmate of hers, and subsequently made him her fake boyfriend. In return for his favor, she's forced to do certain tasks for him.
-----
* {{Adorkable}}: When she tries to get closer to Kyouya. Obviously, she bombs horribly. But her sincere efforts in getting to know him can't help but leave you charmed by her.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: She confesses her feelings for Kyouya in episode 3, but he turns her down, believing that since she has never dated before and that they're a fake couple, saying that her feelings aren't real.
* BabiesEverAfter: In the epilogue of the manga, which takes place nearly a decade after the events of the main story, Erika is happily married to Kyouya and has a daughter named Yuina. [[spoiler: Takeru likes to tease Kyouya with the apparent fact that Erika became pregnant before their wedding, which is something he gets annoyed with being reminded of.]]
* BerserkButton: Don't insult Kyouya in front of her. Even if you're family (or even her own parent), she'll call you out for your harsh words and ''fight'' you for insulting the guy she loves. Needless to say, do ''not'' talk badly about him.
** Having her feelings being toyed with. This has led to her leaving Kyouya a few times when he says one too many rude things to her. If he takes it too far with his cold behavior, she will find a way to make him regret disrespecting her and apologize in some way. Also, this goes not just for Kyouya but ''anyone'' who makes her feel bad too often.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The brunette to Marin's blonde and Tazuka's redhead.
* BoyfriendBluff: This kick-started the whole premise of the series. She makes up a false boyfriend to fit in with more popular girls, but when she has no evidence to back it up, she becomes desperate.
* ClingyJealousGirl: As much as she wouldn't like to admit it, she becomes this later on to Kyouya. (To be fair, he becomes just as jealous with her and other guys once they become a real couple.)
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair and eyes.
* TheDeterminator: She refuses to give up on Kyouya, even after he rejects her. Her determination eventually pays off when he falls for her for real.
* DudeMagnet: She manages to attract plenty of {{Nice Guy}}s (and one not so good guy in the manga). However, she keeps her sight set on Kyouya no matter what he does. This, in which, she firmly states to all the guys that try to divert her affection away from him.
* ExtremeDoormat: She chooses to accept Kyouya's regular emotional abuse in order to fit in with her new friends. She takes ''quite'' a lot from him, but does have eventual limits with how far he can take it. By the end of the manga series, Kyouya becomes a much more considerate boyfriend with her emotional needs.
* HappilyMarried: With Kyouya in the epilogue.
* {{Housewife}}: Becomes one at the end of the manga. She's not one to rest on her laurels though, and does make a small business out of selling her glass crafts from her own home.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: The whole reason why she started lying in the first place.
* InSeriesNickname: "Wolf Girl" by San and Kyouya and "Poochie" primarily by Kyoua.
* IWishedYouWereDead: She angrily tells Kyouya that she wishes he would die after he mocks her for believing his fake confession. Thankfully, nothing bad happened to him and this was just her yelling at him in anger and frustration.
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever she's around Kyouya, her face turns red.
* {{Nosebleed}}: She has one when Kyouya uses her SexySpectacles tactic against her.
* OnlyFriend: San is her only real friend.
* OppositesAttract: She's openly sweet and is looking for romance while Kyouya is cold to the core and isn't interested in romance at all. However, she gradually brings out a more warmer and kind side to him throughout the course of their relationship.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: What she and Kyouya become over time.
* SingleTargetSexuality: At a certain point, her sights are set on Kyouya, and ''only'' Kyouya. It gets so bad after they graduate high school that she's little more than an affectionate puppy when she's around him.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. She's usually a very sweet and kind girl. However, when Kyouya does or says something that pushes her beyond her limits, she snaps at him and won't stand for mistreatment any longer.
* UnusualEars: Whenever she lies, she has wolf ears and a tail sprout.

After she explains the situation to him, he agrees, but only if he gets to tell her to do whatever he wants as "composation".
-----
* AllergicToLove: He says he has no reason to pursue romance.
* BastardBoyfriend: He forces Erika to do demeaning tasks and sends her to run errands for him.
* BerserkButton: He might be a jerk to Erika most of the time, but even ''he'' has limits. Mainly with other people hurting her - especially in the manga. While a stated pacifist, he resorts to violence on two occasions - both over a guy hurting Erika.
** The first is when Kimura makes her cry by saying he'd never date a girl as cheap as her. Kyouya punches him straight in the face when seeing how much the insult genuinely hurt Erika.
** The second time is when he sees Terasaki about to hit Erika, catching his hand in midair and ''already'' about to lose it for being ''about'' to hit her. When he sees the guy had already hit and bruised Erika's face, Kyouya snaps and ''violently'' punches him with clear visible rage. He then pins the guy on the ground and demands he never go near her again. After taking her away from the scene, he comforts her and gently caresses her bruised cheek.
** A more mild, but still significant example is when Kamiya is confused over Kyouya dating Erika. (At this point, the two are dating for real.) He asks if Erika is blackmailing him, has rich family or if he has some ulterior motive. At first, he simply shrugs the comments off. However, when Kamiya crudely asks if she "is really good in bed", Kyouya visibly snaps and aggressively grabs him by his shirt collar before warning him to "knock it off". Kamiya shuts up after this, realizing he is truly serious about Erika.
* BigLittleBrother: He's taller than his older sister.
* {{Bishonen}}: Don't let his good looks fool you, though.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acts like a gentleman in public, behaves like a twisted creep in private.
* ChickMagnet: He's so popular that he has a rabid fan club that attacks Erika after learning that they're "dating".
** The reason why Kimura pursued Erika was to get back at Kyouya for "stealing" his girlfriend away. He claims he never did anything and that she was drawn to him like any other girl.
* ChildHater: He's not too terribly fond of children. However, after he has Yuina and gets married (in that order), [[DotingParent he's made her the one exception]].
* CrazyJealousGuy: Even ''before'' they were a real couple.
** When Erika starts getting friendly with Kimura, he ''breaks her phone in half'' and demands that she never speak to him again.
** He acts like this when he sees Kusakabe carrying one of the chocolates Erika made for him. He acts rude to her when she tries giving him the rest of the chocolates and storms off, refusing to hear why she gave Kusakabe chocolate to begin with. This leads Takeru to point out he's jealous of Erika giving chocolates to another guy. (In Japan, giving chocolates to someone is a big sign of romantic interest. However, "friend chocolates" are also a thing, which Takeru reminds him of.)
** When Erika is going to go camping with friends, he is initially adamant about not going. When he is reminded of boys that will possibly try to flirt with Erika, he is suddenly ''very'' interested in going. When Erika asks what made him change his mind, he waves off the question.
** Two times he wanted Erika to quit her job under fear of her getting male attention. First was when she briefly worked at Takeru's family restaurant and he drops by to see her. Upon seeing her waitressing in a maid uniform being ''well'' appreciated by male customers, Kyouya is ''fuming''. He demands she quit on the spot. The second time is when she worked at a movie rental store and learns her co-worker Terasaki is her former classmate who once confessed to her. He drops by the store "just wanting to rent a movie" and subtly intimidates him (Erika thinks he is being friendly when he is being anything but). He does drop the request, however, when seeing how much the job meant to Erika.
* DefrostingIceKing: He starts off as cold and cruel, but spending time with Erika makes him increasingly kind towards others. By the end of the manga, he has gone from being alone and bitter to arguably nice and with friends (and close bonds with once distant family as well). He takes note that all of this is because of Erika, which he is grateful for.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Although he acts like this partially for the act, he feels this way towards Erika if another guy comes in between them. He even bluntly states that Erika "belongs" to him and no other guy shall ever have her as long as that is the case.
* FreudianExcuse: When he was younger, his parents got a divorce that left his family divided. While his sister was able to accept it and move on, he took it more seriously and swore to never fall in love. He came to believe romance and love don't truly exist and can't ever last. In addition to his divorced parents, he has a BigSisterBully who acts ''more'' twisted than he does. His father is also largely absent from his life due to constantly working. His sister takes note of this and comments how ironic it is that their father works himself to the bone for a family he never sees. It's not hard to see where Kyouya's cynical and bitter outlook on life comes from.
* HappilyMarried: In the small glimpse we get of his married life, he's living quite comfortably and has eased up on his teasing and cold behavior. Besides being a bit of a grump, he's has a genuinely loving relationship with Erika after the main story ends and is happy.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He sees through Kamiya's ploy to get him to be with multiple girls. In the anime, Kamiya tries convincing him that having multiple girls and flings is more fun than one serious relationship. In an attempt to prove this, Kamiya tells him that he has 500 girls phone numbers and therefore he is having "500x more fun than him". Kyouya easily counters the argument by saying that no matter "how much trash he picks up", all he has is "a pile of trash". Kamiya is absolutely stunned and is left questioning his own life.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite treating her like dirt, he does care about Erika and does certain things that aren't necessary for the façade. As the story line goes on, especially in the manga, he grows to become more and more loving and considerate towards her. He leans more towards having a simple "heart of Gold" after he and Erika got hitched.
* OhCrap: He has this reaction when he finds his older sister in town.
* OneHeadTaller: Than Erika.
* PetTheDog: A bit literal since he makes Erika his "dog".
** He does like dogs, despite giving a sadistic reason behind liking them.
* RealMenHateSugar: He doesn't like eating anything sweet. Erika jumps through hoops just to make him baked goods that he will like that aren't too sweet or sour. When she finally makes something she knows he will like, she is very proud of herself.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: They're used to indicate his dark or mischievous behavior.
* SentimentalDrunk: In the manga epilogue, which takes place after the two are married and have a daughter, Kyouya goes out drinking with his friends and comes home drunk. Erika is near giddy about this as she ''loves'' it when he's drunk because he becomes "more affectionate" with her. After confirming their daughter is sleeping, he begins kissing Erika and asks to "make a second one" with her before the scene turns to a dozen hearts all over the page - heavily implying that Kyouya indeed ''does'' becomes ''much more'' affectionate after drinking. Later on, when he makes an unusually loving comment towards Erika, she immediately asks if he's been drinking.
* SchoolIdol: Known as the "White Prince" in high school.
* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: He says this when Takeru labels them as a couple.
* TechnicalPacifist: He hates violence and states he has a preference for not resorting to fighting. However, he will let out a nasty punch if he deems the response necessary.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: He was a lot nicer when he was younger until his parents became divorced and killed his belief in love.
* WhenHeSmiles: He's primarily a PerpetualFrowner and a SmugSnake. Seeing him genuinely smile is truly beautiful.
* YourCheatingHeart: Averted. After learning of his relationship with Erika, Kamiya tries to get him to cheat by giving him hook-up chances with other women while on a school trip. Despite his attempts, Kyouya dismisses every girl and acts very bored with Kamiya's attempts. When Kamiya finally gets too forceful in getting him to cheat on Erika and return to his bachelor ways, Kyouya firmly tells him to back off and puts some distance between them. He immediately returns to Erika the first chance he gets on the school trip.
