7!!Hana Adachi
8[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/40785_3786.jpg]]
9The female protagonist and StudentCouncilPresident.
10----
11* BadassAdorable: Feared as one tough S.O.B. during middle school but is also a really [[NiceGuy nice girl]].
12* BeautifulAllAlong: [[TheGlassesComeOff When the glasses are off]], it's equal amounts of badass & pretty.
13%%* TheBigGal
14* BookDumb: Though in fairness, she's very hardworking and can kick some serious butt.
15* CloudCuckooLander: Thanks to NoSocialSkills and extreme ditzyness.
16* CovertPervert: When looking for a male student with a mole in his chest, she was extremely quick and eager to open the shirts of Shinagawa, Izumi, and Chiba. It's even lampshaded:
17--> ''Didn't she just want to "fwap" our shirts open?!''
18%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
19* {{Delinquent}}: She was this in junior high.
20* TheDitz: Hana Adachi can be described as a Ditz at best and an idiot at worst, despite what she looks like.
21* DumberThanTheyLook: With her braided hair and spectacles, Adachi sure looks like a bookish class rep, but she is totally intellectually inept, with her grades even lower than [[{{Delinquent}} Shinagawa's]].
22* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: She wants to participate in everything the high school experience has to offer, because she used to be a {{delinquent}} and never participated in activities in junior high. She enthusiastically (to the point of lunacy) participates in every student activity, becoming the ClassRep and then later the StudentCouncilPresident.
23%%* GenkiGirl
24%%* IdiotHair
25%%* {{Idiot Hero}}ine
26* MysteriousPast: We know she had some kind of complicated home life with parents that had very strict standards for her, which is why she ran away from home, but we get no direct information on what "complicated home life" and "strict standards" entail. There ''are'' quite a few indications that she's the heiress of one of Japan's most powerful yakuza families (with how she was raised to be absurdly strong, how Yoh talks about they should "take over the country", and how she saves Shinagawa and Nerima early on by giving orders to some black-suited thugs), but the story [[RiddleForTheAges purposely never confirms it]].
27* PurelyAestheticGlasses: She wears glasses (and braided pigtails) only to appear more bookish, while actually having perfect eyesight. It goes so far as swimming ''with the glasses on''.
28* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Abruptly disappears around chapter 190, and does not appear until the very end, after a four year timeskip. It's not made clear what happened to her in between.]]
29* ShooOutTheClowns: Of course, it's still a comedy series through and through, but when the series goes from just being a bunch of really silly misadventures to being slightly more serious, coherent and arc-based, her role and screen-time decrease (and Shinagawa's role and screen-time increase).
30* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Inverted; it's easy to assume she's bookish due to her glasses, but [[PurelyAestheticGlasses she doesn't actually need to wear them]] and her grades are in fact worse than Shinagawa's.
31* StockShonenHero: One of the rare female examples. She's extremely strong, not very bright, and loves food. Though she occasionally shows a comically selfish side by dragging Shinagawa and co. into her idiotic ideas, her heart is in the right place and she'll go above and beyond to help her friends and students in need. And finally, she's very determined to reach her goal, in her case to become a model ClassRepresentative.
32%%* StudentCouncilPresident
33* TeacherStudentRomance: [[spoiler: Four years later, she abruptly reappears and enrolls in Monshiro High as a student again, with Daichi now being her teacher.]]
34%%* TooDumbToFool
35----
36
37!!Daichi Shinagawa
38[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/80629_488.jpg]]
39Our male protagonist and Student Council Co-Vice President.
40-----
41* ChickMagnet: Complete with a TokenMiniMoe. This dude has had ''every'' named female character, save one or two, fall for him.
42* {{Delinquent}}: The titular "Yankee-kun".
43* TheDragAlong: Much of the fun in earlier volumes comes from Shinagawa reluctantly complying with Hana and co.'s shenaningans.
44* FailedASpotCheck: Completely unable to recognize Hana as the girl he fell in love with at the entry exam ''and'' the one who [[spoiler:gave him his scar]].
45* GeniusBruiser: See the ObfuscatingStupidity entry below.
46%%* TheHero
47* IdiotHero: Subverted in his backstory. [[spoiler:It's revealed that he was formerly one of the top two students at Japan's top Junior High. And the subversion continues as Shinagawa gets into Japan's top university.]]
48* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Actually a nice guy underneath the rough exterior, especially towards Hana though he goes ''{{tsun|dere}}tsun'' most times with her.
49* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:Chapter 209, his graduation speech.]]
50* ObfuscatingStupidity: It's implied that Shinagawa was actually a brilliant student in the Bonus strip. In [[{{Flashback}} chapters 150 and 151]], [[spoiler:these implications are more or less confirmed when his backstory is explored. Before he became a delinquent in junior high, he was one of the top students at his school, complete with natural-colored hair and glasses. And not just any junior high, but the top school in the ''country'']].
51* TeacherStudentRomance: [[spoiler: Four years later, he graduates from Tono University, and he chose to work at Monshiro High as a teacher instead. Hana then abruptly reappears and becomes his student.]]
52* {{Tsundere}}: Interesting in that he relatively quickly admits that he is fond of Hana and the Student Council.
53
54----
55
56!!Seiya Chiba
57[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/105980_7407.jpg]]
58Student Council Treasurer. Used to be a major {{hikikomori}} before Shinagawa and Adachi convinced him to come back to school to keep his grades up. Since then he stayed with them and is grateful that they consider him a friend. Although he's often thought to be a delinquent because of his eyes he's actually just a very shy young man that wants to make some ordinary friends.
59----
60* BetaCouple: [[spoiler:With Makoto.]]
61* CovertPervert: Most of the time he's the StraightMan, until you bait him with series of big boobs. Happens again with the [[HotSpringsEpisode Hot Spring]] scene.
62* FaceOfAThug: His normal expression apparently looks like an angry glare to most people, who naturally assume him to be a {{Delinquent}}.
63%%* {{Hikikomori}}
64%%* OnlySaneMan
65%%* TheSmartGuy
66* StoicSpectacles: Complete with long hair!
67----
68
69!!Rinka Himeji
70[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/82330_3728.jpg]]
71Student Council Secretary. Used to be Adachi's "right hand man" in middle school and nicknamed 'The Bloody Pantheress.'
72----
73* {{Chickification}}: She was introduced as Adachi's former right-hand-woman, who had a fairly strong reputation as a fighter. By Chapter 55, she doesn't even seem capable of taking on a couple of {{Mooks}}. She gets more and more girly; always cleaning some mess with her broom, interested in makeup and clothes and generally coming as the weakest member of the gang, even behind Chiba, since nobody is taking her seriously. Jokingly acknowledged in chapter 119 when she attempts to invoke an ExpositoryHairstyleChange.
74%%* {{Delinquent}}
75* DemotedToExtra: Subverted. She transfers from Monshiro High to the Aosuji Academy after resolving her family situation, which would seem to drastically lessen her role, but very soon after, the story changes its focus from Monshiro High to the Nanahoshi cram school that all five main characters attend -- which means that her screentime is essentially the same as before. (Though this change of focus results in ''other'' Monshiro High students becoming demoted to extras)
76* InformedAbility: Despite her position and nickname, she's never actually seen fighting.
77* LargeHam: Though she quiets down after a few chapters.
78* {{Moe}}: In-universe. She seems to have a CuteClumsyGirl reputation. Her small size does not help either. She even got a chapter cover as a clumsy {{Meido}}.
79* MysteriousPast: She mentions shortly after her introduction that she's adopted, but we don't know anything of her life before being adopted, i.e. whether her parents died or if she was given up for adoption.
80----
81
82!!Gaku Izumi
83[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/105981_9315.jpg]]
84Student Council Co-Vice President. Second highest grades and second strongest fighter.
85----
86%%* BadassBookworm
87* JackOfAllStats: No matter how hard he tries he's always second to Chiba in grade and Hana in strength.
88* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Appears cold on the outside and frequently squabbles with Shinagawa but he once quit the Student Council so that they wouldn't have to get caught up in his mess.
89%%* TheLancer
90* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: ''Anything'' he writes.
91[[/folder]]
92
93[[folder:Previous Monshiro Student Council]]
94
95!!Hikaru Akita
96One year older than the main cast, Akita is the former president of the Student Council. He's usually an easygoing, peaceful and laid back person. Just never ever call him a [[BerserkButton girl]], or simply [[TwistingTheWords say the word when he's around]].
97----
98* AxCrazy: Would attack ''anyone'' in berserk mode, [[spoiler:save for Hana]].
99* BerserkButton: Being called a girl. [[TwistingTheWords Or believing someone called him a girl]].
100* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: You would never believe he can effortlessly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] Shinagawa and Izumi ''both at the same time''.
101* TheDreaded: For Shinagawa and Izumi. He's probably the sole person they're genuinely scared of. [[spoiler: Which sucks for Izumi, who had been determined to fight the boyfriend of the girl he was crushing on, only to find out it was Akita. And it also sucks for Shinagawa, because the person Akita is dating is ''his'' sister.]]
102* DoggedNiceGuy: [[spoiler: To Kairi. Lucky for him, it worked.]]
103* EyesAlwaysShut: However, when you push his BerserkButton...
104* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Evil eyes when in berserk mode.
105* GroinAttack: The usual way to put him back to his normal self. Has to be performed by a girl to actually work. Hmmm...
106* IconicItem: Akita is rarely seen without a fan (he actually collects them). [[OhCrap When he drops it]], you'd better flee.
107* NiceGuy: Akita is the nicest guy in the world most of the time.
108* NotAMorningPerson: He was so often late at school that it almost made him double his 3rd year.
109* SlasherSmile: When you pushed his BerserkButton.
110* StudentCouncilPresident: Before Hana.
111* TwistingTheWords: More than once, he went berserk while the conversation was really about a girl and not at all about him.
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Next Monshiro Student Council]]
115
116!!Itsuki Kagawa
117The next Monshiro Student Council President after Hana, he's a former biker underling of Izumi's.
118----
119* AxCrazy: Was depicted this way in the posters meant to slander him during the election.
120* CloudCuckooLander: The reason why he transferred into Monshiro and decided to run for the Student Council is because he thinks ''they are a bozoku''. To be fair, the portrayals of the Student Council he's seen so far doesn't convince people otherwise.
121* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: He doesn't mind strolling around completely naked in front of Anna when she enters the guys' locker room during the sports festival, only seeming a bit puzzled about what she's doing in there.
122%%* {{Sleepyhead}}
123----
124
125!!Akira Kitami
126Monshiro Student Council Vice-President. He's also a delinquent, and lives extremely close to Monshiro.
127----
128* IJustWantToHaveFriends: It surprised a lot of people when Shinagawa figured out he's this.
129----
130
131!!Anna Ichinomiya
132The other Vice-President, she's a former cheerleader and the only first-year student on the Student Council.
133----
134* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When the opposition hung up posters portraying her as a slut in order to slander her during the election, she was furious because they photoshopped her face onto a girl who only has C-cup boobs when ''hers'' are '''clearly''' D-cup.
135* GyaruGirl: She puts on lots of makeup, styles her hair, wears a school uniform with a super short skirt, loose socks, and an unbuttoned shirt that reveals some of her cleavage.
136* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She comes off as an incredibly disrespectful and selfish ValleyGirl when Shinagawa first meets her, but soon shows that she is also considerate when she buys him lunch.
137* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves ice-cream, and visits the ice-cream parlour everyday after school.
138[[/folder]]
139
140[[folder: The Shinagawa Family]]
141
142* BadassFamily: There's Shinagawa himself, his father who can kick his ass with little effort and is a world-class surgeon, his mother the international lawyer, his sister who scares the crap outta him sometimes, his sister's boyfriend [[spoiler: ''Akita'', one of the top three fighters in the '''entire series''']], and sorta [[spoiler: adopted son Yoh Adachi, who is ''another'' of the top three fighters in the entire series.]] You really wouldn't want to mess with them.
143
144!!Chuuta Shinagawa
145A world-class surgeon and Shinagawa Daichi's father. He recently returned to Japan after staying abroad for three years.
146----
147%%* BadassBookworm
148----
149
150!!Kairi Shinagawa
151Shinagawa's sister, she attended a top-ranked girls' school before going to an Ivy League university. When she learns [[spoiler: Shinagawa is aiming for Tono-U, Japan's top university,]] she makes plans to transfer to the same school. [[spoiler: Akita's girlfriend, rather surprisingly. Izumi also has a crush on her.]]
152----
