9->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RumiOokubo
10
11A diminutive {{tsundere}} with long, blue hair. Harbors an intense crush on [[ChildhoodFriendLoveInterest Io Otonashi]]. Extremely cat-like.
12----
13%%* AcademicAthlete
14* TheAce: At the top of her class, insanely strong, and extremely skilled at video games.
15%%* ActionGirl
16* ACupAngst: Don't make fun of her modest bust size. Sakaki and Mayoi both learned this the hard way.
17* BadassAdorable: She is ''tiny'', but, as Mayoi can testify, she is insanely strong.
18* CannotSpitItOut: While her affections for Io [[EveryoneCanSeeIt can be seen from a mile away]], she still has trouble confessing to him properly.
19* CatGirl:
20** SproutingEars: A pair of cat ears pop up on her head quite frequently.
21** ExpressiveEars: The cat ears she manifests twitch according to her mood.
22* ChildhoodFriendLoveInterest: Io Otonashi
23* ClingyJealousGirl: Heavily emphasized in the manga.
24* TheComicallySerious: She keeps a completely straight face at all times, even during the most bizarre situations.
25* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are very closely colored.
26* DeadpanSnarker: Has her moments, such as in the B half of episode 1 of the anime
27-->'''Hime:''' Mayoi is so good with machines that I'm a little jealous of her.\
28'''Tsumiki:''' Yeah, you look like you'd have trouble even using a cell phone.
29* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: Tsumiki can occasionally display a rather poor grasp on her superhuman strength (compared to the other characters).
30* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Rumi Ookubo, her voice actress, does the the ending song as well as the opening with the main cast.
31* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Everyone except Io, apparently.
32* {{Expy}}: Of Konota of ''Manga/LuckyStar'', in character design if nothing else.
33* IdiotHair: A huge, [[ExpressiveHair expressive]] one that ''curls''.
34* {{Nosebleed}}[=/=]HighPressureBlood: Despite trying to have a SugarAndIcePersonality, she frequently erupts with nosebleeds.
35* TheQuietOne: She rarely talks from her side, and usually only utters snide remarks. Her friends usually have an easy time guessing what she's thinking, though.
36* SingleTargetSexuality: Io.
37* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The Straight Man to Mayoi's Wise Guy.
38* SuperStrength: Inexplicably, Tsumiki can lift a boulder of a snowball and hurl it with ease. In Io's dream, Tsumikitty destroys a giant castle wall with a single touch.
39* TokenMiniMoe: While Hime is nearly as adorable, Tsumiki is by far the shortest character in the series, at around 4'7".
40* TranquilFury: Her face rarely shows the rage she feels.
41* {{Tsundere}}: Flat-out stated as one. She actually manages to be ''both'' types at the same time.

44[[folder:Io Otonashi]]
45[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Io_3503.jpg]]
46->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto
47
48A caring, stoic young man with black hair and a penchant for twirling things. Tsumiki Miniwa's childhood friend.
49----
50%%* AcademicAthlete
51* TheAce: About on equal footing as Tsumiki. He's pretty much good at everything he touches.
52* BerserkButton: In the manga, when Sakaki says something stupid (normally perverted things). All-around hates mosquitoes.
53* BlindWithoutThem: Io cannot see without his glasses very well and needs to be close to others to make them out.
54* ChasteHero: In a series where cute things are happening left and right, Io just ''blushing'' is considered an oddity.
55* ChekhovsSkill: His pen-twirling schtick later allows him to [[SpinToDeflectStuff deflect snowballs]].
56* CluelessChickMagnet: The reason for his ChasteHero status.
57** IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn
58* FriendToAllLivingThings: But not mosquitoes.
59* TheHeart: To his confusion, everyone in the group looks up to and loves him.
60* HeavySleeper: Io once slept through Tsumiki fondling his head rather loudly.
61* HouseHusband: The man can cook, which is often in an EngagingConversation. He can also sew.
62%%* IdiotHair
63* ImprobableAimingSkills: He uses sticks to catch fish in the first cabin episode, thinking it's impossible. Cue the fishes floating dead in the water. He also took out mosquitoes with a toothpick.
64* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Part of his ParodySue shtick, Io is spotlessly clean.
65* LikeBrotherAndSister[=/=]PlatonicLifePartners: How Io views Miiko.
66* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Which is very unsurprising, since ''everyone'' knows Tsumiki's in love with him, and he never notices at all. Especially when people are being subtle about it
67%%* NerdsAreSexy
68* NotSoAboveItAll: Io will frequently get caught up in whatever competition Sakaki starts, assuming they aren't on the same side.
69* ObliviousToLove: More emphasized in Chapter 4 when he doesn't know what Miiko is talking about when she specifically says being an "Ally to a maiden in love". But finally seems to have caught on, during the end of Episode 11.
70* ParodySue: Io's particular character trait is being irresistible to girls (and [[ObliviousToLove clueless about it]]) and incredibly competent in everything the cast has to do (except technology which is Mayoi's field) but it's usually (and [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools effectively]]) PlayedForLaughs against Sakaki failing miserably.
71* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Sakaki's red.
72* [[SexySantaDress Sexy Santa Suit]]: The ladies sure didn't mind Io in a Santa suit during Episode 10.
73* SpiritedCompetitor: Io loves a good challenge.
74* TheStoic: He's this in the anime, full-blown.
75** NotSoStoic: Anytime he [[OoCIsSeriousBusiness shows any emotion is noted]]. More common in the manga.
76%%* SupremeChef
77* TouchOfDeath: Despite Sakaki's IronButtMonkey status, Io can disable him with a light tap. However, this may be due to MinorInjuryOverreaction by the former. This is explained by Mayoi as Io's attacks coming from his [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower heart]], thereby bypassing all defenses.
78* UnwantedHarem: Since he's completely ObliviousToLove in this regard, he wouldn't notice. And Tsumiki goes ClingyJealousGirl mode when girls are thinking about him, touching him, or considering going out with him.

81[[folder:Mayoi Katase]]
82[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Mayoi_2520.jpg]]
83->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiNabatame
84
85A chaotic GadgeteerGenius with orange odango hair.
86----
87* ActionGirl: But not to Tsumiki's level.
88* AmusingInjuries: Mayoi gets a lot of abuse, not that she doesn't deserve it.
89** TheChewToy: Full throttle.
90* BerserkButton: Don't mention her weight.
91* BirdsOfAFeather: She is suggested to get along well with Sakaki because of their similarly mischievous natures.
92* BunnyEarsLawyer: Has a field of technology, even making a snowball cannon and maker.
93* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mayoi seems to prioritize having fun over anything logical or practical. This often gets her in trouble with Tsumiki.
94* CrazyPrepared: She tends to have some kind of invention for every occasion, most of them end up being completely useless.
95* EyesOutOfSight: Her eyes are perpetually covered by her bangs.
96* TheGadfly: Most of what comes out of her mouth is deliberately trying to provoke a reaction out of someone, usually Tsumiki.
97* GadgeteerGenius: She's very good with machinery and even constructs a few gizmos.
98* GenkiGirl: She's always upbeat and positive, in stark contrast to Tsumiki.
99%%* HiddenBuxom
100%%* HotBlooded
101* IronButtMonkey: Mayoi had a ''frisbee thrown at her neck'' and manages to recover. As well as her face at the receiving end of a wall.
102* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: She's always wearing one.
103%%* LargeHam
104%%* LethalChef
105%%* MadScientist
106%%* PerpetualSmiler
107* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Tsumiki and Io.
108%%* SpiritedCompetitor
109* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The Wise Guy to Tsumiki's Straight Man.
110* VerbalTic: Despite the strength of Tsumiki's [[AnimalMotif cat traits]], in the anime ''Mayoi'' is the one who meows in every other sentence.
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:Sakaki Inui]]
114[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/587784_8881.jpg]]
115->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShintaroAsanuma
116
117The blond best friend of Io. Often perverse and chaotic like Mayoi.
118----
119* AlwaysSecondBest: Sakaki's dynamic with Io. He's the only character who actively tries to one-up the resident ParodyStu and they're actually shown to be evenly matched whenever Sakaki isn't getting horribly maimed.
120* AmusingInjuries: At least once per scene.
121** TheChewToy: Painful things kind of just happen to him all the time.
122* BestServedCold: In Episode 12, Sakaki finally gets his revenge on Mayoi for the frog chocolate incident.
123* BirdsOfAFeather: He is suggested to along well with Mayoi because of their similarly mischievous natures.
124* BromanticFoil: To Io.
125* BrownBagMask: Episode 10.
126* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His thought process is rather strange.
127* CluelessChickMagnet: Not at the same level as Io, but it's there in the manga.
128* HotBlooded: He screams wildly even when he's playing video games.
129* IronButtMonkey: Sakaki can take a considerable amount of punishment and be fine the next scene (or page).
130* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Prone to making nonsensical metaphors/analogies.
131* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Io's blue.
132* SpiritedCompetitor: Loves competing against Io, and actually puts up a good fight most of the time.
133[[/folder]]
134
135[[folder:Hime Haruno]]
136[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hime_3126.jpg]]
137->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriFukuhara
138
139A sweet, sometimes shy klutz with brown hair and a heart of gold.
140----
141* AudienceSurrogate: Hime's behavior is meant to be identical to the series' target audience's: sheer adoration of everything cute, but perhaps with a little less blood.
142* BerserkButton: Don't ever tease her about her weight.
143* ChekhovsGunman: One of their games in the manga involves a doll held by her team. Naturally, she gets captured by Sakaki and Mayoi's team. But, she's the reason why Io's team wins in Chapter 41.
144* CuteClumsyGirl: [[LampshadeHanging Hime kind of falls down a lot, doesn't she?]]
145* CutenessOverload: Frequently suffers nosebleeds when she witnesses something adorable.
146* TheDitz: It's so bad that she outright admits and accepts it.
147* TheEveryman: If you disregard the fact that she has [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank more erythrocyte reserves than a blood bank]], Hime is the closest thing this show has to a normal person.
148* ForgetfulJones: She is capable of remembering that it will rain, but will forget to bring an umbrella every time.
149* GracefulInTheirElement: A disaster on land. A natural on ice rinks.
150* HighPressureBlood: Has erupted more {{Nosebleed}}s than Tsumiki, and that's saying something.
151** She actually gets a nosebleed so powerful that it propels her like a jet while she's ice skating.
152* TheLoad: Acknowledges her role as this depending on games the group plays. She ends up being a valuable player in Mayoi and Sakaki's "Capture the Doll" game.
153* MeaningfulName: Interestingly enough, "Hime" is Japanese for "Princess", and considering she's PurityPersonified, this probably was intentional.
154* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: She's the only one who is always concerned by all the slapstick Sakaki and Mayoi get.
155* PurityPersonified: Hime does not have a mean bone in her body, and is the most innocent of the friends.
156* RunningGag: Passing out from blood loss.
157* WeightWoe: Rather insecure about her weight.

160[[folder:Kana Miyama]]
161[[quoteright:234:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/images_9679.jpeg]]
162->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiromiKonno
163
164One of the few friends the group interacts within the story
165----
166* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Quite blatantly air-headed. She seriously thought squirting onion juice into someone's eyes wouldn't hurt them.
167* GenkiGirl: Usually her default mode.
168* MadeOfIron: She effectively plows through a wooden trap made by Mayoi.
169* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]]: With Saki.
170[[/folder]]
171
172[[folder:Saki Sakimori]]
173[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/35_13.png]]

176* AlliterativeName[=/=]RepetitiveName: '''Saki''' '''Saki'''mori
177* AnimeHair: A portion of her hair forms vaguely cat ear-like shapes.
178* TheGadfly: Enjoys teasing her friends for fun, especially Kyouya.
179* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]]: With Kana.
180[[/folder]]
181
182[[folder:Kyouya Saibara]]
183[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyouya_saibara_38567.jpg]]
184->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TsubasaYonaga
185
186* ButtMonkey: Tends to be bullied by Saki.
187* PhraseCatcher: Some variation of "You're creepy" from Saki.
188* SatelliteCharacter: To Saki. Most of his tropes tend to revolve around her.
189* ShipTease: It's suggested Kyouya has a crush on Saki, though he adamantly denies it.
190* {{Tsundere}}: A very mild Type B. He's usually a swell guy until anything involving Saki is involved.
191[[/folder]]
192
193[[folder:Kikue Sakuragawa]]
194[[quoteright:301:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/77615d07fda9a5f7c37565bf1eeeac726252defc3c10533f64f7ff9f912d513d_thumb.jpeg]]

201[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_m9nbzqd5qd1qz7kjeo1_1280.jpeg]]
202->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoMinaguchi
203
204Sakaki's older sister who owns a cake store, the Hatch Potch.
205----
206%%* CoolBigSis
207%%* EyesAlwaysShut
208%%* LikeBrotherAndSister: How Io views her
209* PerpetualSmiler: She's always smiling. When Io tries to imagine her [[ItMakesSenseInContext being scared by a bear on a sled moving at the speed of sound]], all he can come up with is her saying, "Ara ara." while smiling at the bear.
210* ShipperOnDeck: Her line towards Tsumiki calling herself an "ally to a maiden in love" suggests this.
211%%* YamatoNadeshiko: A textbook example.
212[[/folder]]
