4	The protagonist, and a red card battler. He's crazy for seasoned rice and Battle Spirits. His parents created the battle system to fulfill his dream of meeting the spirits.
5	* AnimeHair: A pretty impossible hairdo. He manages to have a point of hair that stands straight up.

8	* FlungClothing: His clothes come off as he's sliding, starting with his shirt.
9	* MrFanservice: His ShirtlessScene in episode 12. His chest is given lots of focus for that minute and hes 13! Clearly the animators were having a good time at this.

19	* AttentionWhore: She likes to be the center of everyone's attention. How else can she accomplish world domination?
20	* BitchInSheepsClothing: She borders on this at times, such as in the election episode, where she pretends to be the sweet and innocent victim. However, other times she'll have hidden niceness under her behavior.
21	* PetTheDog: Does this with [[StalkerWithACrush Tameru]] of all people. [[spoiler: She allows him to keep calling her princess, even after he lost a battle where the terms would permanently stop him from doing so.]]

23

40	* InstantFanclub: The Chihiro Elite Guard
