History Characters / YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitchesTheMainCouple

* CatchPhrase: "Kiss me", "I want you to kiss me" or some variation of that. Used quite often, since he does want people to kiss him quite often.

* CatchPhrase: Similarly to Yamada, she says "kiss me" and "can we kiss?" a lot.

* SignatureHeadgear: While Shiraishi otherwise has a fairly generic design when it comes to her face and hair, she can always be distinguished on her red, X-shaped hairpins that have more or less become her trademark.

* {{Bishonen}}: While Yamada isn't as pretty looking as guys like Miyamura or Takuma, with how the author has evolved how she draws her characters now, there's no denying that Yamada actually looks pretty handsome in some scenes. This could also symbolize Yamada's maturity over the series from just a street punk to young man with ambition.

* TheHero: He ''is'' the main character, he is proactive, he often insists on helping and saving the witches, and he's something of a JackOfAllStats while the other characters tend to have more specific skills.

* AmnesiacLover: In chapter 212, it's revealed [[spoiler:Yamada and Shiraishi had started dating since their first year in high school, a year before when they thought they first met. They forgot each other because Shiraishi accepted the role of the "Original Witch" who enabled the witch powers at the school, so she could be with Yamada, at the cost of having everyone except for Yamada forget her and she would forget him when she leaves school during her senior year. Even after all the memory wipes, they find their way back to one and another.]]

* RedOniBlueOni: Yamada is a very classic HotBlooded red to Shiraishi's {{Stoic}} blue. Actually, they both have blue as their default mood, but Yamada is so easy to rile up that you barely notice it.

* AmnesiacLover: In chapter 212, it's revealed he has this relationship with [[spoiler:Shirashi. She was the one he first confessed to at the start of end of the first year. Even after all the memory wipes, they find their way back to one and another]].

* BookDumb: To a T. He's far from the best student and has trouble grasping complicated concepts, but he's surprisingly observant and intuitive. Later, it becomes more and more obvious that school simply doesn't motivate him, and when properly motivated, his brain works perfectly well.

* EnergeticAndSoftSpokenDuo: He yells a lot of his lines, and he usually expresses himself in a very brash and crude way, while his girlfriend Shiraishi is a lot quieter, hardly ever shouts and is generally more polite and well-mannered (though she also has a knack for BrutalHonesty at times).

* HairContrastDuo: He has dark blue hair in contrast to Shiraishi's blonde hair, and they form a RedOniBlueOni relationship.

* HappilyMarried: He has become this with Shiraishi by the end of the epilogue, clearly enjoying her company along with their kids.

* HighSchoolSweethearts: He meets Shiraishi in high school and starts dating her soon after. They're still together, married with kids, more than 10 years later.

* [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Mother, Like Son]]: His mom can be seen wearing a Shoba shirt in chapter 218, meaning that being a fan of the iconic yakisoba bread mascot is apparently something that runs in the family.

* TheOneGuy: [[spoiler:Was this in his first year when he hung out in the handicrafts club with Himekawa and Nancy.]]
* OneTrueLove: To Shiraishi. They truly love each other and have never loved anyone else, fate has them meet again and again despite any memory-wipes ([[spoiler:though actually, it's the wish Shiraishi made when she became the original witch that has them meet again as long as she goes to Suzaku]]), and they go from HighSchoolSweethearts to HappilyMarried with kids at the end.

* RedOniBlueOni: A very classic red to Shiraishi's blue. Actually, they both have blue as their default mood, but Yamada is so easy to rile up that you barely notice it.
* [[ReformedCriminal Reformed Delinquent]]: He was a fairly rough delinquent before high school, but he wanted to get his act together when starting high school, and [[spoiler: thanks to Himekawa and later Shiraishi]], he ended up as the witch-helping hero we know.
* {{Reluctant Fanservice G|irl}}uy: An in-universe example; he's awfully shy about girls seeing him naked, so to his misfortune any girl who ends up swapping bodies with him decides to check out his junk immediately after the swap.

* SecondYearProtagonist: The story begins shortly after he has started his second year. That's not to say [[spoiler: that his first year wasn't as interesting and eventful as his second one.]]. The story does follow him into his third year, but given that most of his third year is skipped, he's a second-year student for the majority of the series.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Romantically, he focuses solely on Shiraishi, to the utter disappointment of Odagiri, explaining his frequent bouts of [[CluelessChickMagnet cluelessness]]. Physically, he is able to be turned on by other girls and fantasize about them, especially before the RelationshipUpgrade, but it's still obvious that he is more attracted to Shiraishi than the others.

* TwiceShy: With Shiraishi. The reason they take a relatively long time to start dating is that they're both too awkward to talk about feelings for each other. Later on, shyness is also the main reason for any trouble in their relationship because they can't bring themselves to say it whenever something's bothering them.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Shiraishi, ever since the point where he fears that Itou's rumor has made her friends ditch her, so he switches bodies with Itou and goes through a lot of trouble to dismiss the rumor.

* UptightLovesWild: Yamada is a rough-and-tumble HotBlooded former delinquent. Shiraishi is an honor student. They are still each other's OneTrueLove, and in fact Shiraishi [[spoiler:originally fell in love with Yamada exactly because he called her out on being boring instead of admiring her stoic and studious attitude]].

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Airplanes]]: He hasn’t tried flying before, so he’s terrified the first time he gets on an airplane. He seems to get over it once he starts enjoying the view, though.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the manga, she's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold at her introduction, often acting rude and aloof because she's not used to being around people. It takes around 20 chapters before she grows into her [[NiceGirl trademark sweet demeanor]]. In the anime, she has her sweet demeanor from the very start, though she's still a bit more reserved in the first couple of episodes than later on.

* AmnesiacLover: In chapter 212, it's revealed she has this relationship with [[spoiler:Yamada. She was the one he first confessed to at the start of end of the first year. Even after all the memory wipes, they find their way back to one and another]].

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Being called "boring" makes her enraged to a degree never before seen in the series, though it's also a subversion. When Yamada, during their very first meeting, calls her boring, she flips out and yells at him, but afterwards she realizes that he was right and there's more to life than being an aloof honor student, after which she falls in love with him. The same happens again at the graduation.]]

* EnergeticAndSoftSpokenDuo: She is generally a quiet person who hardly ever shouts and is usually able to act polite and well-mannered (though she has a knack for BrutalHonesty at times). Compare to her boyfriend Yamada who yells a lot of his lines and usually expresses himself in a very brash and crude way.

* FirstGirlWins: She is the first female character introduced in the series, and the first new girl Yamada meets in the series. [[spoiler: Subverted in-universe: Yamada had a girlfriend before her. Double-subverted when that girlfriend turns out to be her anyways.]]

* GymClassHell: She is not athletic at all (except for when Yamada's in her body), and contrary to other subjects, she is quite comfortable with skipping gym class. The anime also indicates that she is always PickedLast.
* HairContrastDuo: She has blonde hair in contrast to Yamada's dark blue hair, and they form a RedOniBlueOni relationship.

* HappilyMarried: She has become this with Yamada by the end of the epilogue, clearly enjoying his company along with their kids.

* HighSchoolSweethearts: She meets Yamada in high school and starts dating him soon after. They're still together, married with kids, more than 10 years later.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Of Yamada’s two most serious suitors, she’s the light feminine to Odagiri’s dark feminine. She’s gentle, sweet and wholesomely beautiful, while Odagiri is more hysterical, has a better grab on feminine wiles and is sexy more than she’s outright beautiful.

* OneTrueLove: To Yamada. They truly love each other and have never loved anyone else, fate has them meet again and again despite any memory-wipes ([[spoiler:though actually, it's the wish Shiraishi made when she became the original witch that has them meet again as long as she goes to Suzaku]]), and they go from HighSchoolSweethearts to HappilyMarried with kids at the end.

* RedOniBlueOni: A very classic blue to Yamada's red. Defied in her friendship with Itou as even though Itou is also a red, Shiraishi is one of the few people she never argues with or criticizes.

* SecondLove: [[spoiler: Subverted. When Yamada finds out he dated a girl during his first year, he of course thinks it's not her since he assumed they met during his second year. But it ''is'' actually her.]]
* SecondYearProtagonist: The story begins shortly after she has started her second year, and it is here that her school life is seriously changed.

* ShutUpKiss: She tends to give Yamada these when he’s awkward or hesitant about using a witch power on her.

* SingleTargetSexuality: She is Yamada-sexual, never showing any sort of interest in other boys.

* TwiceShy: With Yamada. The reason they take a relatively long time to start dating is that they're both too awkward to talk about feelings for each other. Later on, shyness is also the main reason for any trouble in their relationship because they can't bring themselves to say it whenever something's bothering them.
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Yamada, doing everything she could to get him back to the club in case he lost his memories, and later promising to be by his side as much as she can.

* UptightLovesWild: Shiraishi is an honor student. Yamada is a rough-and-tumble HotBlooded former delinquent. They are still each other's OneTrueLove, and in fact Shiraishi [[spoiler:originally fell in love with Yamada exactly because he called her out on being boring instead of admiring her stoic and studious attitude]].

* SurroundedBySmartPeople: How he found himself when he started at Suzaku High. He struggled to make friends because all of his class mates were only interested in things such as reading literary classics, listening to English audiobooks and playing go, so he had to hang out with Ushio, whom he had otherwise cut ties with, because Ushio was the only one on the same intellectual level. Averted later on; while the majority of the friends may be more academically gifted than him, they are not necessarily smarter in other areas and don't generally have high-brow hobbies.

* BuxomIsBetter: One of the reasons she's seen as beautiful and perfect is that she has big breasts - she uses an E-cup.

* PerfectDisguiseTerribleActing: When body-swapping with Shiraishi. He doesn't just ''look like'' her - he literally gets her body - so it's a perfect disguise. However, he can't imitate her Shiraishi's stoic and quiet demeanor to save his life, instead acting like his loud, boisterous self. It becomes especially bad by how he also always fails to imitate feminine body language or speech mannerisms.

* PerfectDisguiseTerribleActing: When body-swapping with Shiraishi. He doesn't just ''look like'' her - he literally gets her body - so it's a perfect disguise. However, he can't imitate her Shiraishi's stoic and quiet demeanor to save his life, instead acting like his loud, boisterous self. It becomes especially bad by how he also always fails to imitate feminine body language or speech mannerisms.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: She gives Yamada a good slap to beat some sense into him when he refuses to help Odagiri. It hurts him, but it's comically deconstructed when she afterwards mentions that it also hurt her own hand.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is even-tempered almost all the time, but if you're Yamada, you don't want to make her angry. When Yamada refuses to help Odagiri because he hates her henchman Ushio, she outright ''[[ArmorPiercingSlap slaps]]'' him and tells him that he is mean because those things have nothing to do with each other. She's also unusually pissed and shouts at him when he leaves the school in her body (even though she was sick and was ordered to go home by the school nurse).

* AmbiguousDisorder: She has several of the classical traits (both the [[HollywoodAutism Hollywood ones]] and the more realistic ones) of UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome. She is a bit socially awkward and unaware of norms, but is still very intelligent as well as nice and caring. She is initially not good with people, and even later, she still seems to be introverted, preferring to be alone with her books at least some of the time. She suffers from BrutalHonesty and sometimes being InnocentlyInsensitive, and like many people with the syndrome, she has one thing she is strongly interested in - in her case, her studying. She may seem emotionless, but she is just as emotional as everybody else, just not too good at conveying it. She has also shown to understand metaphors and jokes literally a couple of times.

* WorkingClassHero: Originally he started out as a delinquent from a working-class family but over time he mellows out and becomes much closer to this trope.

%%* WorkingClassHero: Moreso later on.

* WorkingClassHero: Moreso later on.

* LowerClassLout: He comes from a working class family, and at the start of the series, he's a rude and maladjusted delinquent. He's a rare example of a lower-class lout attending a prestiged high school, though.

* CryCute: Usually, his crying is purely comical, but he has a few moments where it's actually touching, like [[spoiler:when his friends get their memories back after Ushio's memory wipe, and when he gets the letter from Shiraishi shortly before his graduation]].

* CryCute: She's not weepy at all, so the few times she cries out of emotion make it quite hard not to feel for her, the signature example being when she - in an amnesiac state - sees Yamada kissing Odagiri.

* NotSoStoic: While very calm, she is definitely not as unemotional as her facade would have you believe - it can be particularly when she becomes angry at Yamada in the first chapter or during the few scenes in which [[CryCute she cries]].

* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: It is bewildering how honestly worried she looks after Yamada refused to have sex with her, on the street, in the middle of winter, in front of a stranger, just because he asked to, [[UpToEleven while she's a virgin]].

* PantyShot: Whenever he fights in a girl's body, he will always do roundhouse kicks that show off said girl's panties.

-->Voiced by: Creator/RyotaOhsaka (Japanese), Creator/NewtonPittman (English), Alejandro Orozco (Latin American Spanish)

* AdjustingYourGlasses: Well, he doesn't wear glasses, but when he swapped bodies with Fukazawa who does, he adjusted them by the glasses themselves instead of the frame, showing that he is not used to wearing them.

[[quoteright:242:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yamada-yamada_824.jpg]]

* {{Meganekko}}: She wore glasses before she met Yamada - though while still cute-looking, they also made her look even more [[TheStoic stoic]].

* {{Diary}}: She started writing one about her relationship to Yamada [[spoiler: as a counter-measure so that she would be able to remember him if her memory of him was erased again. It works.]]

* SexyShirtSwitch: She wears some of Yamada's casual clothes ''before'' sex ([[spoiler:except they don't end up having sex after all]]), after she took a shower and hung all of her own clothes to dry as laundry.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has dark blue hair.
