| 6 | Also note that there are '''unmarked spoilers for the novel series''' as of this writing[[note]]for your information, the anime and TheMovie completely cover the first four volumes and a few side stories from later volumes[[/note]], so if you've only watched the anime, you might still be getting spoilers for future seasons. |

| 18 | * FullNameBasis: Anyone with a full name is almost always supernatural in some way. The rest have either NoFullNameGiven, or NoNameGiven at all. The exceptions are Fujiwara, the time traveler who refuses to give his real name and just picks an obvious pseudonym; Sasaki, a girl and old friend of Kyon who can create closed space of her own and has espers of her own; Miyoko Yoshimura, Kyon's sister's friend, nicknamed Miyokichi, who has not manifested any supernatural powers; Nakagawa, Kyon's former classmate and tight end for his high school's American football club, who had the ability to perceive the Data Overmind by looking at one of its interfaces, but mistook it for love when he set eyes upon Yuki; and certain members of the Agency who have not yet manifested supernatural powers but have full names given. |
| 19 | * InvisibleParents: |
| 20 | ** No one seems to have parents, although this is justified in the case of Mikuru and the Humanoid Interfaces. Kyon's mother is mentioned, but she never appears on-screen (although both of his parents are on the first page of the manga). |
| 21 | ** Taniguchi's dad is mentioned in Disappearance. |
| 22 | ** Haruhi's parents are also mentioned (Melancholy V and the preview for book 10), we just never get to meet them. |
| 23 | ** Also understandable with Itsuki because he IS a transfer student. |
| 24 | ** Tsuruya mentions her father several times in Intuition. |
| 25 | * SecretIdentity: Four out of five SOS Brigade members, as well as all the other Aliens, Time Travelers, and Espers out there. |

| 33 | [[folder:Ryoko Asakura]] |
| 34 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryouko_asakura.png]] |
| 35 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/NatsukoKuwatani (JP), Creator/BridgetHoffman (EN) |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Ryoko Asakura is the ClassRepresentative of Kyon's class. She's described as a model student -- hardworking, beautiful and smart, until she gets revealed as another alien data interface, the same as Yuki. She's gotten tired of sitting around and observing until Haruhi acts, and so she decides to act... by stabbing Kyon and seeing how Haruhi will react. Kyon is saved by Yuki, who then proceeds to shut down Ryoko. This convinces Kyon that Yuki is an actual alien. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | In the AlternateUniverse stemming from ''Disappearance'', she is a normal student and still the ClassRepresentative of Kyon's class. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Interestingly, she has a [[EvilTwin good twin]] in ''Manga/TheDisappearanceOfNagatoYukiChan''; a dimension where she ''is'' Yuki's best friend and genuinely tries to help her be with Kyon. Although she is just a little bit jealous ([[LesYay of Kyon]]), she tries to hide that. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ---- |
| 44 | * BigOlEyebrows: Among the largest of the cast, male and female. |
| 45 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: It can kind of be argued either way; on the one hand, when dealing with the vast majority of people, she seems to be legitimately, actually nice and to even enjoy it, doubly so in ''Disapperance's'' AlternateUniverse and its related spinoff (which, given the nature of TheVerse, [[MindScrew may or may not count, depending]]). Her interactions with Kyon, however, run the gamut; she starts out nice, then there's the big stabbing incident, then a lot of her lines with him in ''Disapperance'' straddle the line between "good-natured ribbing about Yuki" and "passive-aggressive bitchiness", [[spoiler:then she stabs him ''for real'']], and '''then''' [[spoiler:in Book 10, she saves his life ''while holding a knife to his throat at the same time'']]. Perhaps it's most accurate to say that if she has an Inner Bitch, Kyon brings it out, and since [[UnreliableNarrator he's our narrator]], we may get a disproportionate view of it. Granted, [[spoiler:she also seems to bitch out Kimidori a bit, but by Book 10 she has nearly as much of a legitimate axe to grind with the Data Overmind as Yuki does at this point, so it comes across as less "self-righteous bitchiness" and more "you really don't have any room to tell me what I should and shouldn't be, Nagato understands that".]] |
| 46 | %%* BoxedCrook: [[spoiler:In the 10th novel, ''Surprise'', but she can only appear in certain circumstances.]] |
| 47 | %% -->'''Ryoko''': [[spoiler:I'm afraid it's about time for my temporary deployment to come to an end. Call me again any time. I'll be ready and waiting. As long as Little Miss Scary over there doesn't step in to intervene, of course.]] |
| 48 | * ClassRep: Popular and the class president. |
| 49 | * CombatTentacles: Those glowing appendages she forms are described as such at least by Kyon. |
| 50 | %%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow |
| 51 | * CuteAndPsycho: She smiles happily while trying to stab a guy to death. [[spoiler:Even after coming back from Yuki's deletion. Her kernel must be built around stabbing people or something.]] |
| 52 | * TheDreaded: She is easily the person who scares Kyon the most, due in no small part to being the only character who tried to kill him specifically (and came pretty damn close, too). ''Disappearance'' does an excellent job of underlying just how pants-wettingly '''terrified''' he is when she walks through the door. |
| 53 | * EvilCounterpart: To Yuki: in ''Disappearance'', Kyon outright calls her Yuki's "shadow" [[spoiler:after Asakura stabs him, and in the 10th novel, she even claims that she'll exist so long as Yuki does.]] |
| 54 | * EvilerThanThou: |
| 55 | ** [[spoiler:Kuyo Suo of "the Anti-SOS Brigade" is even ''more'' deranged than Ryoko.]] |
| 56 | ** [[spoiler:Also, her human counterpart from "Disappearance" is much worse than normal Ryoko. Normal Ryoko's attempt to kill Kyon was motivated out of psychotic pragmatism and there was no real malice behind it. The alternate Ryoko, on the other hand, was motivated by emotional spite, and she came much closer to killing him than normal Ryoko did.]] |
| 57 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Admittedly she's more BlueAndOrangeMorality than [[CardCarryingVillain out-and-out evil]], but certainly her cheerful personality is only skin-deep. |
| 58 | * FlirtyVoicePloy: Ryoko uses a flirty tone when asking Kyon to be the go between for Haruhi and the class. |
| 59 | --> '''Ryoko: '''Pretty please. |
| 60 | * GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Truly insane and dangerous weapons. |
| 61 | * GirlyBruiser: She's a bubbly girly girl who is a very skillful fighter and almost killed Kyon. |
| 62 | * GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's very girly, being a Valley Girl in her school, but she also fights and isn't fazed with blood. |
| 63 | * GoKartingWithBowser: When she isn't stabbing people, she's legitimately kind, empathic and helpful (even if she rags on Kyon sometimes). Kyon even sits down to an extended dinner with her in ''Disappearance'' (partially at Yuki's insistence), and rather manages to enjoy himself despite his paranoia about being knifed out of the blue. The fact that she appears in ''Disappearance'' at all is telling. [[spoiler:Yuki temporarily stole Haruhi's [[RealityWarper Reality Warping]] powers, which means that she very easily could have fabricated a universe where Ryoko didn't exist at all; in fact, she would ''have'' to know how negatively Kyon views her, and this was all done for his sake. That Yuki brought Ryoko back ''regardless'' really suggests that Yuki must see ''something'' redeeming in her.]] |
| 64 | * GracefulLoser: At her final moments while shutting down, she smiles and tells Kyon to enjoy life with Haruhi. |
| 65 | * HimeCut: Straight hair with two sidelocks and somewhat even bangs. She likely added this to her Inferface's appearance to give herself a respectable air as the ClassRep. |
| 66 | * HomoeroticSubtext: Starting in Disappearance she starts showing a weird fixation on Yuki, though some of it may be a result of [[spoiler:Yuki restructuring the world]]. It's really hard to interpret her behavior properly considering how, well, ''alien'' she is. Perhaps it's a mix of IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer and IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy. |
| 67 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: A subversion of this. She uses a mundane weapon, which is pretty odd if you think about it. In the anime she uses a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_knife survival knife]](note the top serrations, it's not detailed as much in the novels). This knife is primarily intended as a tool rather than a weapon. In short, she uses an improbably mundane weapon. |
| 68 | * LetsGetDangerous: [[spoiler:"Shifting to Termination Mode."]] |
| 69 | * MaskOfSanity: Seems like a nice popular girl, but truly insane. |
| 70 | * NominalHero: [[spoiler:As of Book 10. She's still the same Asakura, she just happens to be fighting on the same side as the Brigade now.]] |
| 71 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:''Twice.'']] |
| 72 | * PsychopathicWomanChild: Insane with a girly voice. |
| 73 | * RefusedByTheCall: Near the beginning, Haruhi asks for aliens, among others, to join her. Ryoko, being in Haruhi's class and hearing Haruhi's request, seemed perfect for Haruhi, being an alien and quite willing to engage and befriend Haruhi. However much Ryoko tries to join Haruhi, though, Haruhi doesn't even acknowledge Ryoko's existence until Ryoko "transfers out" to Canada. Haruhi rejects Ryoko in favor of Yuki, despite Yuki not being in the same class and apparently not even making any attempt to contact Haruhi directly. Kyon lampshades this fact in ''Surprise''. |
| 74 | * SummonMagic: Invoked by Ryoko in Surprise when she tells Kyon that he can call her at any time and she will appear, after just saving his life in like fashion--only, Kyon doesn't remember ever summoning her. |
| 75 | * TokenEvilTeammate: [[spoiler:Fills Haruhi's shoes in that role, although Haruhi was actually more antagonistic than evil until her HeelFaceTurn in ''Sigh'' left a void that Asakura would eventually fill in ''Surprise Vol. 1''.]] |
| 76 | * TomboyandGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Haruhi's, Yuki's, and Tsuruya's tomboys. |
| 77 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: With ''Kyon'', of all people. Especially given the... ''imagery'' involved. [[spoiler:He really, ''really'' tries to avoid acknowledging this in the 10th novel, straight down to refusing to ''look'' at her... because he doesn't want to admit to himself that she's attractive and that looking at her might allow him to begin to forgive her, a trap he fell into already in "Disappearance."]] |
| 78 | * VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:Saves Kyon from Kuyo in the 10th novel.]] |
| 79 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: All Ryoko wants to do is to break the status quo and incite some reaction from the titular character. Her method happens to be trying to murder the narrator, and major love interest, Kyon. [[spoiler:When she returns in the tenth novel as a Boxed Crook, she still wants to kill Kyon because she still believes that her actions were justified. Still, she protects him, because she wants to be the one to kill him.]] |

| 92 | * FemmeFatale: More obvious than her younger version. |
| 93 | * FieryRedhead: Inverted; she has red hair like her present-day self, but while she's become more competent and self-confident, she's also very calm most of the time. |
| 94 | * FutureBadass: Maybe not badass, but Mikuru's future self [[PluckyGirl is rather competent and self-confident]], compared to her younger self. On the downside, she's [[ManipulativeBastard a lot less morally clear.]] |
| 95 | * GrewASpine: The once shy and fragile girl is shown to be very self-confident in the future. |
| 96 | * TheHandler: Her role in ''Intrigues'', to the point that ''Intrigues'' reads much like a spy novel. The differing layers of classification (after all, not even the younger Mikuru knows that her own future self is her direct superior) and the overall atmosphere of secrecy gives the time travelers' faction the feel of an espionage agency, and as their field representative Adult Mikuru is responsible for much of that atmosphere. |

| 102 | * {{Transhuman}}: In ''Disappearance'' she reveals that she has a non-physical computer integrated with her brain, and that her time-travel device is likewise a part of her. |

| 109 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YukiMatsuoka (JP), Creator/KariWahlgren (EN) |
| 110 | |
| 111 | No one really knows what's up with Tsuruya-san, Mikuru's classmate, ersatz SOS Brigade member and something of a SixthRanger. She's got the (ankle length) green hair one would expect from a Humanoid Interface, but seems to be totally normal, if just as much of a GenkiGirl as Haruhi. She's also notable for her {{Cute Little Fang|s}}, BigFancyHouse, [[TheHyena tendency to point and laugh (very loudly)]], and for inspiring the {{Fan Webcomic|s}} and MemeticMutation Sensation, [[Manga/HaruhiChan Churuya]]. She also seems unusually aware of the SOS Brigade's oddities for a {{Muggle}}, but seems content to enjoy the show rather than disrupt the Brigade's attempts to keep Haruhi under control. |
| 112 | ------ |
| 113 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: She is, needless to say, quite distractable (and hyper). |
| 114 | * BigFancyHouse: A traditional Japanese home that takes up an entire ''block''. Then there's their ski house, which is slightly more sane, but still huge. |
| 115 | * CoolBigSis: In age and attitude; she dotes on her younger friends as if she ''is'' their big sister. |
| 116 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Although she isn't "special" enough to be an official member, she is well aware of the abnormalities around the SOS Brigade. She can quickly grasp the situation while at the same time be tactful enough to keep Haruhi and herself out of the loop. |
| 117 | * CuteLittleFangs: One at a time, but it flips from one side of her mouth to the other depending on the scene. |
| 118 | * DissonantLaughter: She laughs at all times--even during ''The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya'' when [[spoiler:Mikuru is drunk]]. That scene was treated like something out of a horror movie, except for Tsuruya's laughter. But even she shuts up when [[spoiler:Kyon tries to punch Haruhi.]] |
| 119 | * ForHappiness: Tsuruya states that this is her purpose, to ensure the happiness of others while remaining out of the spotlight. |
| 120 | * GenkiGirl: She manages to out-genki ''Haruhi''. |
| 121 | * GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Tends to do this when she laughs. |
| 122 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Itsuki implies that she's off having her own adventures; her family is "very influential" in the Esper community, even though she's not one. |
| 123 | * TheHyena: Once she finds something funny, it's hard to make her stop laughing. She's not big on subtlety either. She won't just laugh, she'll ''point'' and laugh. There's ''one'' single occasion where she gets serious. Since it's Tsuruya, this only helps to increase the drama and tension. |
| 124 | * MotorMouth: She generally enters a scene by asking a million questions, then hopping off to ask someone else a million questions, all before waiting for a single answer. |
| 125 | * NiceGirl: Will be friends with anyone, unless they hurt Mikuru. |
| 126 | * NoFullNameGiven: Only her family name is known. |
| 127 | * {{Ojou}}: She doesn't act like it, but she's ''filthy'' rich. [[spoiler:Her family is one of the backers for Itsuki's Organization.]] |
| 128 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When she's not laughing when Haruhi abuses Mikuru during "The Sigh". |
| 129 | * SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Her VerbalTic of "nyoro" is essentially this, as it means "tilde", which is often used in Japanese text as an extension of a syllable to give a drawn-out or playful pronunciation. |
| 130 | * ShipTease: [[spoiler:With Kunikida in Book 11]]. Kyon notes that [[spoiler:she'd probably like the kind of guy who would strive to become as smart as her just to be able to go to the same school.]] |
| 131 | * TheTease: She likes "suggesting" things to Kyon. Like recommending he stay overnight at her guest house with Mikuru. Of course, she's only kidding, and Kyon doesn't fall for it. |
| 132 | * TokenRichStudent: She's from a ''very'' rich family, but she still goes to a high school that's mentioned to be rather average in regards to academics and seems to be largely made up of students from middle-class backgrounds. |
| 133 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Mikuru's Girly Girl. Shares this status with Haruhi. |
| 134 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Athletic and bold like Haruhi, but way more hyper. A tomboy proud of her long hair and doesn't mind a maid outfit. |
| 135 | * VerbalTic: "Nyoro[[note]]Japanese for [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud tilde (~)]][[/note]]" though she only says it very rarely (once in the anime). The anime also adds "megas"; though it's used only once in the actual anime it appears in her {{Image Song}}s. |

| 142 | |
| 143 | Emiri Kimidori is a mysterious student in North High and a MysteriousWatcher to the Brigade. She is revealed to be a humanoid interface just like Yuki, but does very little, save for a couple of minor plots and being an ally to the StudentCouncilPresident. |
| 144 | ------ |
| 145 | * AdaptationInducedPlotHole: More regarding characterization. The {{Image Song}}s for the anime's first season were released prior to the tenth volume of the light novels; building off the fact that she's an interface, Kimidori's song "fixed mind" portrays her as someone reaching for humanity and wanting to participate in the fun everyone else has but being unable to. The tenth volume, however, reveals that [[spoiler:she doesn't give a damn about anything that interferes with what the Entity wants, not even Yuki's personal safety.]] |
| 146 | * AllPowerfulBystander: [[spoiler:Of the first and last variety at the same time: she hasn't been ordered to help out Nagato when she gets sick in the tenth novel, and she doesn't care enough about her to do so either. Thus, she just continues to watch.]] |
| 147 | %%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow |
| 148 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: According to her ImageSong. [[spoiler:However, in the novels this turns out to be a case of CanonMarchesOn, since she appears to actually be largely indifferent to humans and is strictly loyal to the Entity.]] |
| 149 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:She says it's not her place to look after Yuki when she's in trouble, and generally has little care whether Yuki lives or dies.]] |

| 160 | |
| 161 | ---- |
| 162 | * BreakoutCharacter: To some extent. Enough to get his own image songs in season 2, at least. And he gets alot of scenes extended or added to the movie. |
| 163 | * CasanovaWannabe: Oh boy. [[SexinessScore Rates all the girls in school on an A-F scale meticulously]], and flirts with them a lot too. Accumulates years worth of experience with a success rate of zero. |
| 164 | * ChekhovsGunman: In ''Disappearance'', he mentions he's looking for girls from Kouyouen Academy, and in ''Intrigues'' it's implied that he got together with one and that she broke up with him. [[spoiler:That girl was [[ArtificialHuman Kuyou]] [[StarfishAliens Suou]], who mistook him for Kyon.]] |
| 165 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Taniguchi briefly tasted Haruhi's shortest relationship, listed one alien as a top pick, then dated another one for four months. Fortunately for his sanity, he's LockedOutOfTheLoop and just a RomanticFalseLead. |
| 166 | * GenkiGirl: Or rather, Genki Boy, as he is very energetic, as [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] by Kyon asking him to 'rub some of his energy onto me (Kyon) sometime' |

| 197 | |
| 198 | Kyon's Little Sister, [[NoNameGiven known only as]] [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Imouto-chan]], is a [[CheerfulChild chipper little kid]] who occasionally [[TagalongKid tags along on her brother's sort-of-adventures]], being a bit [[GenkiGirl hyper]] but still better-mannered than most {{Annoying Younger Sibling}}s. Since [[AdultsAreUseless their parents seem to leave them to their own devices]], she forms the core of Kyon's family life in the novels, and as Kyon's home life doesn't get much attention she is mostly seen with her brother outside the house. |
| 199 | ---- |
| 200 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Kyon, sometimes. As is often so in real life, not a view held by anyone else. |
| 201 | * CaptainObvious: "Kyon-kun, your phone". |
| 202 | * CheerfulChild: She's generally an innocent, happy-go-lucky girl. She often acts younger than her age, cares more about having fun with things than actually learning to do them properly (like the time Kyon notes that she seems to be enjoying herself trying to ski even though she’s falling down every five seconds), and is liable to spontaneously start singing to herself or the cat at completely random moments. The only thing that ever seems to upset her is being left behind when Kyon goes on a trip. |
| 203 | * CutenessProximity: Turns to mush around Shamisen, always wanting to pet him and play with him and sing little songs to him. May also explain why she enjoys being around the girls in the SOS Brigade too, especially Mikuru. |
| 204 | * GenkiGirl: A milder version than Haruhi and Tsuruya, but she definitely qualifies. She’s very energetic, especially when she’s excited about something, she’s full of confidence and determination (though usually without the talent to back it up), and she loves to talk. Kyon notes that her outbursts of hyperactivity often end with him carrying her because she’s worn herself out and fallen asleep. |
| 205 | * LittleStowaway: She tries to hide in Kyon's duffel bag when he's packing for the Brigade's Remote Island trip, but he quickly discovers her when he picks up the bag and notices it's much heavier than it should be. In the book he makes her stay home, but in the anime she's allowed to come along anyway. |
| 206 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: While she tags along with the SOS Brigade from time to time, she doesn't know anything about the members' true natures and she's managed to avoid getting caught up in any of their more serious adventures. Kyon is happy to keep it that way. |
| 207 | * TheNicknamer: "Kyon-kun" for Kyon, "Shami" for Shamisen, "Miyokichi" for her friend Miyoko Yoshimura, and "Haru-nyan" for Haruhi. She's the only other person besides Kyon and Tsuruya who ever addresses Haruhi informally, and while she didn't invent the nickname "Kyon" for her brother, she ''is'' the one responsible for spreading it around to everyone else. |
| 208 | * NoNameGiven: Kyon and all of his friends never call her anything except Imouto-chan (Little Sister). |
| 209 | * SixthRanger: She is one of the people who joins in Brigade activities from time to time when they need more hands on deck. Lampshaded by Kyon in "Snowy Mountain Syndrome," when he notes that she's basically a junior Brigade member as far as Haruhi is concerned. |
| 210 | * SuperStrongChild: Played for laughs in the anime, and especially the movie version of ''Disappearance''. She isn't strong enough to hit a baseball more than five feet without the help of Nagato's magic baseball bat, but she has no trouble physically hauling her 16-year-old brother out of bed and dumping him on the floor every morning to wake him up. |
| 211 | * TagalongKid: |
| 212 | ** Invoked in "The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya" – Kyon doesn't want the SOS Brigade to win their baseball game, so he deliberately brings his little sister along to play with them because he knows she's a terrible player and [[TheLoad is more likely to hurt their their chances of winning than help]]. |
| 213 | ** Subverted in the "Remote Island Syndrome" short story. She tries to tag along on the trip, but Kyon catches her and sends her home. |
| 214 | ** Defied in the "Remote Island Syndrome" anime adaptation and in "Snowy Mountain Syndrome." She is allowed to tag along on the trips, but both times she has other people babysitting her and keeping her safely out of the way when the SOS Brigade get caught up in the real adventure. |
| 215 | ** Lampshaded by Haruhi in "Where Did The Cat Go?" during the game of ''fukuwarai''. Kyon's sister was again an uninvited tag-along, but Haruhi says that she knew she would join them, and pulls out another game sheet that she drew for her before they left. |
| 216 | * TokenMiniMoe: Downplayed; while she's a cute little girl who's the youngest member of the cast, she isn't sexualized in any way, appears only sparingly (though she tends to appear with the main cast more often in the anime's merchandising), never [[SpotlightStealingSquad steals the spotlight]] when she does appear, and [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling annoys the hero]] because she acts her age. |

| 222 | ->'''Voiced by''': Nobuyuki Kobushi (JP), Creator/DaveWittenberg (EN) |
| 223 | |
| 224 | A nameless character who is the president of the Computer Society. His role in the plot is essentially TheChewToy, being the subject of several of Haruhi's antics -- being blackmailed into giving away computers to the SOS Brigade, getting taken over by a cricket-like Data Entity, etc. He declares himself and his club to be rivals to the SOS Brigade and challenges them to a game of their own creation, but they lose and become "vassals" to the SOS Brigade. Emiri Kimidori also pretended to be his girlfriend. [[ButtMonkey It must suck to be him.]] |

| 229 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: After getting "subjugated", the Computer Club has been on good terms with the SOS Brigade and sometimes gives support in the Brigade's activities. He even wishes [[PhysicalGod Yuki]] to become his successor. |
| 230 | * DynamicEntry: The receiver of it once he declares the Computer Society to be the SOS Brigade's rivals. |
| 231 | * LargeHam |
| 232 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After he and his boys try to cheat their way to victory in their game against the SOS Brigade, Yuki manages to one-up them by hijacking the code to their game so as to prevent them from cheating. |
| 233 | * NoNameGiven: The anime at least, plays with this by making Kimidori say his name, only to get cut off by the meowing of a cat. |

| 241 | Another character with NoNameGiven, he is the school's StudentCouncilPresident introduced in ''The Indignation of Haruhi Suzumiya'' by Koizumi to give Haruhi an antagonist and to keep her from getting bored. He acts like FourEyesZeroSoul in his role as the president, but he is secretly laughing at how ridiculous his job is. Later on, it seems that Haruhi's influence is making him take his job more seriously. |
| 242 | ----- |
| 243 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: Delivers one to Haruhi in ''Indignation''. Kyon notes that few people have that ability. |
| 244 | -->'''Student Council President''': If I had something to be proud of, it would be that I am in this position as the result of a fair election. And so, how did you come to be sitting on that seat? Oh, honorable Brigade Chief? |
| 245 | * BecomingTheMask: He comments that he slips back into his mask every now and then, even when Haruhi isn't around. He seems unconcerned, but is warned against this trope by mask master Koizumi himself. |
| 246 | * CorruptPolitician: Both as a facade and in reality, albeit on a high school scale. To the SOS Brigade, he is a bully abusing his authority to destroy the Brigade. In reality, he kicked out all other members of the Student Council except Kimidori and intends to use the Student Council fund for his own interests. |
| 247 | * FullNameBasis: Or a Japanese variant thereon: he always addresses female students with the honorific "-kun," which is typically used for boys and young men. As Website/ThatOtherWiki notes, there are two exceptions to that practice, "in business settings, young female employees may also be addressed as -kun by older males of senior status," and "in the Diet of Japan (Legislature), chairpersons use -kun when addressing diet members and ministers." Either way, he's being pretentious. |

| 259 | Formally introduced in ''Surprise'' (having made her first nameless appearance in ''Dissociation''), Yasumi Watahashi is one of the new first years at North High participating in Haruhi's rigorous SOS Brigade entrance tests. Kyon notices her among the other first years as the only one interested in Haruhi's lecture on the history of the SOS Brigade. |

| 262 | %%* ChekhovsGunman |
| 263 | * DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:Literally, she was created by Haruhi's subconcious precisely in order to handily solve the plot.]] |
| 264 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Mikuru certainly does. |
| 265 | * HaveWeMetYet: Kyon recognizes her from ''somewhere'', but cannot for the life of him remember where. [[spoiler:In the Beta timeline, she runs into him in the clubroom and notes that she hadn't met that version yet]]. |
| 266 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Loads. |
| 267 | ** She greets Kyon on the phone with "It's me, ME." This is him mishearing her name; "Watahashi" sounds a lot like "watashi." So she was actually saying "It's me, Watahashi." [[spoiler:Kyon notes that only Haruhi could get away with "It's me;" she ''is'' Haruhi]]. |
| 268 | *** The official English translation of ''Dissociation'' manages to preserve this: rather than having her emphasize "watashi," Yasumi instead ''spells out'' the word "me" ("It's M-E, me") — said out loud, it sounds like the tail end of her first name, Yas''umi'', which keeps the sense that Kyon was mishearing her. |
| 269 | ** She manages to keep up with Haruhi in a marathon, which should be literally impossible. [[spoiler:Because she is Haruhi]]. |
| 270 | ** Every single member of the club instantly loves her, even Yuki. [[spoiler:While for the others it was likely unconscious, Yuki was almost certainly well aware of who and what she was]]. |
| 271 | ** After being told that Kyon made the SOS Brigade website and that she should fix it, she goes into a rant about what a horrible job he did, and that she'd expect a middle-schooler to do better. [[spoiler:Sounds exactly like the kind of thing Haruhi would say]]. |

| 278 | * SixthRanger: [[spoiler:[[AvertedTrope Albeit briefly]].]] |
| 279 | * StalkerWithACrush: To Kyon. She calls him before they ever meet, and shows up at his house completely unannounced to play with his sister. He's disturbed, despite her being quite blase and low-key about it, and doesn't understand why she doesn't see it as a big deal. [[spoiler:Actually, she was helping keep the timelines synched by performing Sasaki's actions from the Beta timeline in the Alpha. She does appear once in the Beta timeline by "accident," apparently just to see how he's doing.]] |

| 289 | * IHaveManyNames: Aside from her real name, she is known as "T" to her classmates and is called "Lie" by Tsuruya. |
| 290 | * TheNicknamer: She has trouble pronouncing Japanese names, so she tends to give people nicknames, such as calling Kyon "Kyam," Haruhi "Haru," and Koizumi "Ikki." |
| 291 | * {{Ojou}}: Like Tsuruya, she is from a rich family. |
| 292 | * OnlyKnownByInitials: Sort of. T isn't so much an initial but rather a nickname that came from her first name. |

| 300 | Shamisen is an everyday alley cat (or maybe not...) who becomes a [[TouchedByVorlons Touched By Haruhi]] TalkingAnimal for a while when playing Yuki's familiar in the ''Adventures of Mikuru Asahina'' student film. He's actually quite ThePhilosopher when he can speak. He loses this ability after the film is finished and the weirdness starts to wear off, but he becomes [[TeamPet involved in a few other adventures]] after Kyon and his sister adopt him. He is also a male calico. |
| 301 | ---- |
| 302 | * ContemplateOurNavels: He's awfully philosophical, at times when he can speak. |
| 303 | * MeaningfulName: Shamisen (the instruments) use cat skin in their construction. |
| 304 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: He's a ''male calico cat''. Kyon mentally comments on this. This ''is'' possible (though very rare) in real life, due to males with the XXY chromosome set. However, this also probably means that Shamisen is sterile. |

Sasaki is intelligent and analytical... but chooses not to do anything to change her environment. She knows about aliens, time-travelers and espers, which are interesting, but she's not going to change her daily routine over it. She's somewhat of TheSpock and wishes to keep out of the God-business all the organizations have. |

| 371 | * AntiVillain: Seemingly a Type I [[spoiler:but really a Type IV.]] |
| 372 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Yare yare", at least in the past. Yes, ''she's'' the one Kyon picked that up from. |
| 373 | * ChekhovsGunman: She was mentioned offhand multiple times as Kyon's precedent for liking weird girls (even before most of the characters were introduced), and [[EarlyBirdCameo her name appears in Kyon's phone in the Disappearance movie]] ([[http://imgh.us/Sasaki_EarlyBirdCameo_1.png screenshots]] [[http://imgh.us/Sasaki_EarlyBirdCameo_2.png here]]); she doesn't actually appear until the ninth novel. |

| 415 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Does not understand morality. All she knows is that she wants to communicate, but doesn't know what it actually means to communicate or to fully grasp what other entities are. Since she goes about it in such incomprehensible ways, it leaves her extremely dangerous. |

| 420 | * EvilerThanThou: She's worse than Ryoko Asakura AND Emiri Kimidori, although her definition of evil might be difficult. |
| 421 | * HumanoidAbomination: She has the appearance of a human girl, but everything about her behavior is described as being very alien and unnatural. The only thing that can be discerned from her actions is that she wants to communicate, but her [[BlueAndOrangeMorality alien morality]] means she has no idea how. |
| 422 | * KillTheGod: Serves as an accomplice to an attempted one. |
| 423 | * MementoMacGuffin: The only mildly humanizing element to her character is the fact that she kept the watch [[spoiler:Taniguchi]] gave her, and even thanks him for it when she sees him again. |

| 426 | * ShadowArchetype: To Yuki; she's essentially what Yuki would be like if she had even fewer social skills and absolutely no idea how regular humans interact or behave, and as a result she's even more unsettling and alien than Yuki could ever be. |
| 427 | * StarfishLanguage: Implied at first, and then subverted. The reason why she doesn't know how to communicate with humans is because the Canopy Domain did not, in fact, really know what communication even was, meaning they ''had'' no language. |

| 442 | * KillTheGod: Goes out of his way to [[spoiler:make a ''very'' serious attempt on Haruhi's life]] at the climax of ''Surprise Vol. 2''. |
| 443 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Apparently by Itsuki in the 11th book. They fight, an explosion is seen, and then the way people speak of Fujiwara afterward seem to indicate that he's long gone.

| 448 | * SmugSmiler: His perpetual expression is described as "an evil version of Koizumi's smile." |
