66	* ItsAllAboutMe: Sometimes she comes off as only caring about herself. Episodes like "Hungry Yumi" (where she forces a sleep-deprived Ami to get her a Pink Palace cheeseburger and ends up resorting to stealing someone else's burger) and "Movie Madness" (where she hogs the credit and stardom of being in a movie and doesn't give Ami her due credit) would be the best examples of her selfishness.

87
88	* ButtMonkey: He suffers a lot, especially when he has to put up with Jang Keng and Tekirai.

95	* {{Jerkass}}: Most of the time, he ropes Ami and Yumi into cheapstake solutions with bad consequences to small problems, bad situations caused by his own greed or get-rich-quick schemes with little regard for how they feel about his decisions and the inconveniences his plans give them.
96	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, deep down, he does care about the girls and is even viewed as a father figure to them, despite betraying them at times. He isn't really a bad guy if you think about it.
97	* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: He's an old man and Ami and Yumi both dwarf him.
98	* MoneyFetish: He's obsessed with money to the point that he's always coming up with new ways he can make Ami and Yumi more profitable.

206
207	* BrokenPedestal: To Ami and Yumi, but mostly the former. They competed against each other in the Stu-Pi-Doh! card game in order to win his affections.

218
219	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Considering his belief that he's a superhero and tendency to act like he has super powers, it goes without saying that he's rather odd.
