16->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RyoHirohashi (JP [Drama CD[=/=]NDS game]), Creator/AyaHirano (JP [Anime[=/PS2=] game]) and Creator/WendeeLee (EN)
17
18A diminutive high schooler who's much more interested in video games, anime and manga than doing actual schoolwork. Her interest in popular culture is truly staggering.
19----
20* AffectionateNickname: Tsukasa calls her "Kona-chan".
21* [[invoked]] AmbiguouslyBi: She's quick to comment on other girls' cuteness and {{Moe}} traits (especially in regards to [[{{Tsundere}} Kagami]] and [[CuteClumsyGirl Miyuki]]) and plays a lot of [[HGame H-Games]] aimed at straight men. However, she has stated she's not into real-life lesbian relationships, so it's not clear how much she really is attracted to girls outside of fiction. She also occasionally shows interest in getting a boyfriend.
22-->'''Konata''': Well, yeah, that's true, but for now, I have no interest in being a lesbian in real life. It just all happened this way.
23* BadassBookworm: Despite her generally [[OtakuSurrogate sedentary lifestyle]], Konata is always praised for athleticism. The only reason why she never wanted to be an athlete, she told Tsukasa, because she would not have time for anime. And when it comes to playing quiz games, ''she is Miyuki-level'', though her flaw is being too lazy, and Kagami even commented that if Konata used that willpower into studying she would be a high-achiever. She also knows Martial Arts, but only because her father sent her to the lessons.
24* BlueWithShock: For all the times she leaves Kagami like this, she's not immune to it herself, such as when they go to the beach and chooses to ride with Ms. Kuroi because her cousin Yui DrivesLikeCrazy when sent into road rage, only for Ms. Kuroi to get completely lost.
25--> '''Konata''': I messed up big time! I didn't expect them both to fail!
26* BrilliantButLazy: While Konata is usually a slacker, she's actually quite smart and can get high grades when she's motivated enough; it's telling that despite her typical laziness, the top-achiever Miyuki Takara became one of her best friends. Kagami frequently lampshades how Konata could easily be a high achiever if she channelled all the passion she has for anime and video games into studying. In a Volume 6 strip, Kagami isn't surprised at the prospect of Konata getting into ''Tokyo University'' just because it's ''close to Akihabara'' (of course, she doesn't get into so prestigious a university as Tokyo U).
27* CharacterizationMarchesOn: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Yoshimizu himself at the end of Volume 1. At the onset Konata was supposedly a cool GamerChick who [[ObfuscatingStupidity plays dumb]], only to turn into a down-to-earth, full-blown OtakuSurrogate. OrwellianRetcon was applied in the published volumes to make her image consistent.
28* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her connection to reality outside games and anime is tenuous at best. She frequently makes comparisons between real life situations and anime or games, and the references she makes often confuse her friends.
29%%* CoolBigSis: To Yutaka. They may be cousins, but Yutaka views Konata as a second sister.
30* CosplayOtakuGirl: A more downplayed example, as while she's definitely a huge {{Otaku}} she's really only ever seen cosplaying for her job at a CosplayCafe. She doesn't see cosplay as a hobby since according to her, it feels too much like work.
31* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally, like when her father tearfully made her promise him not to die before him, she just replied "Okay, I wasn't really planning on it or anything."
32* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Konata will sometimes do this in conjecture with her short stature, to fool others into thinking she's a child, allowing her to get cheaper movie tickets.
33* DirtyOldMan: Even though she is neither "old" or a "man", Kagami thinks she is one anyway with how she deliberately [[InnocentInnuendo misreads some things as innuendos]] [[{{Troll}} for laughs]] and has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace.
34* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Konata is always drawn with half-lidded eyes, as she is a laid-back slacker.
35* EmbarrassingNickname: Misao calls her "Chibikko/Chibi" in the original Japanese and "Bite Size" or "Midget" in the dub.
36* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Anime Tenchou and his group only know her as "Legendary Girl 'A'" since [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome they have no realistic way of learning her name]] and are obsessed with getting her to buy their stuff.
37* [[invoked]] EveryoneHasStandards: She may be a huge {{Otaku}} who frequently talks about other girls' {{Moe}} traits and has a questionable grasp on reality, but she's still put off by her otaku father's [[ComedicLolicon fixation on underage girls]] and often worries he'll get arrested.
38* {{Fangirl}}: While she's already a huge {{Otaku}} in general, in the anime she's an especially big fan of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya''. She owns tons of ''Haruhi'' merchandise and gets especially excited when Patty bribes her with tickets to see Aya Hirano, Haruhi's voice actress (who, incidentally, is also Konata's ''[[CelebrityParadox own]]'' voice actress). That said, despite her fanaticism, she isn't exempt from criticizing the anime adaptation, as she does upon watching the episode "Someday in the Rain", being unimpressed by how the studio cut corners with the infamous long-winded shots of Nagato reading a book.
39* FunSize: She's seventeen, later eighteen years old, but stands at only 142cm (4'8").
40* TheGadfly: She has a tendency to push people's buttons just for the fun of it, ''especially'' Kagami's. After a certain amount of watching one can only wonder if Kagami would be a {{Tsundere}} at all if Konata didn't constantly mess with her.
41* GamerChick: She has dedicated large portions of her life to excessive gaming of every genre, and she can easily beat Kagami no matter what kind of game they play.
42* GenreSavvy: Only some of the time. [[WrongGenreSavvy The rest of the time]], she thinks she's in an HGame.
43* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has a fox plush among various manga volumes near her bed, and a big penguin plush located on one of her bedroom's shelves.
44* HeightAngst: Downplayed; she'll sometimes be frustrated by how short she is and is annoyed whenever Kagami teases her about her height, but at the same time she's not above using her short stature and youthful looks to her advantage.
45* HollywoodToneDeaf: Zigzagged; the end credits for the first half of the anime show that Konata can be ''very'' off-key when singing upbeat, passionate theme songs from anime and TV shows (such as when she sings "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' in Episode 5), but she's a much better singer when she's singing calmer and slower-paced songs (like "Sore ga, Ai deshou?" from ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu'').
46* IdiotHair: She has a noticeable strand of hair that always sticks up. While she's more BrilliantButLazy than an idiot, her grasp on reality can be [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} questionable]] at times due to how much of an {{Otaku}} she is. In at least one strip the Hiiragi twins couldn't recognize Konata aside from her idiot hair.
47* LonersAreFreaks: Kagami has that kind of mentality towards her, even if she's far from a recluse. She's rather outgoing but is definitely weird and eccentric.
48* MeaningfulName: Konata's name means "here". Her late mother Kanata's name means "there". Or "this person" and "that person" respectively.
49* MissingMom: Her mom died of an illness when she was still a baby, and as such, she can't remember her brief times with her.
50* NoPeriodsPeriod: In the anime, during a discussion on women's periods, Kagami insinuates that Konata doesn't undergo one. Konata doesn't say anything on the subject.
51* NiceGirl: Despite her mischievous streak and eccentric nature, she's good-natured and friendly.
52* OlderThanTheyLook: She's seventeen (later eighteen) years of age, but she's short and flat-chested enough to get mistaken for a prepubescent child. Her immature, childish nature doesn't help either. She's not usually bothered by this, since she sometimes uses her youthful appearance to her advantage.
53* OnlySaneMan: Despite being quirky and eccentric, she can be this sometimes when she's the calm one around an angry Kagami.
54* OtakuSurrogate: In a series full of otakus, she stands out the most by virtue of having "male otaku" traits. Aside from a brief obsession with ''[[Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs MariMite]]'' and making a single reference to ''Manga/WeddingPeach'', she has no interest in [[ShoujoDemographic any series aimed at girls]] and is hugely into anime and games primarily aimed at a male audience. One strip [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this, saying she is only biologically female.
55* PerpetualSmiler: Downplayed; her default expression is a PlayfulCatSmile, but she does openly show other emotions as well.
56* PetitePride: She ''used'' to [[ACupAngst feel bad about being flat-chested]], until she played [[VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}} a game]] which had flatness as a desirable status, which bolstered her confidence completely.
57* PlayfulCatSmile: Her default expression, which is fitting with her playful nature and her tendency to be TheGadfly (especially towards Kagami).
58* ProudToBeAGeek: Konata holds absolutely no reservations about her {{Otaku}} hobbies.
59* RaisedByDudes: Due to her mother passing away when she was very young, her father raised her mostly by himself. In fact, that's a good part of the reason why she's such an otaku; her father brought her along to Comiket and other conventions ever since she was around five.
60* RidiculousProcrastinator: We often get to see how much she procrastinates, yet her last-minute study can be amusingly effective at times.
61* TheRival: To Misao, over which of them "owns" Kagami, and to Kou (albeit one-sided on the latter's part), over arcade fighting games.
62* TheShameless: Konata will talk all day long without reservation about her otaku hobbies, including the erotic dating sims she plays. The only things that seem to faze her are people [[HeightAngst making fun of her short stature]] or threatening to cut her off from being able to copy Kagami's homework.
63* SharedFamilyQuirks: Thanks to being primarily raised by her {{Otaku}} father Soujirou after her mother Kanata died early on, she shares Soujirou's [[ProudToBeAGeek shameless love of anime and video games]], as well as a fondness for dropping references into regular conversations. Ironically, her mother had hoped that she ''wouldn't'' inherit her father's geeky personality.
64* {{Sleepyhead}}: Even if her daytime drowsiness partly stems from her late-night anime watching and gaming, she belongs to the hardworking subtype of the trope.
65* StillBelievesInSanta: It's revealed that Konata still believes in Santa Claus when Tsukasa asks her when she stopped believing in him. Turns out Konata's father told her that the Christmas presents he gave to Konata every year were from Santa Claus himself.
66* StrongFamilyResemblance: Nearly a clone of her mom Kanata -- down to [[OlderThanTheyLook her lack of growth spurt]] -- except with her dad's skin tone and mole, an IdiotHair on her head that Kanata lacks, and being one centimeter shorter than the latter.
67* TerribleArtist: Drawing isn't exactly her forte, so to speak. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yPU0S_oUBw Her drawings of her friends]] look like they were drawn by a five-year old.
68* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to the rest of the main cast's Girly Girls and to her cousin, Yutaka's Girly Girl.
69* TomboyishPonytail: Occasionally has a ponytail which fits her boyish, athletic character.
70* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She acts tomboyish thanks to being [[RaisedByDudes primarily raised by her father]], almost always wears pants or shorts outside of school and is [[OtakuSurrogate mainly into anime and games aimed at a male audience]], but she did once get hooked on ''[[Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs MariMite]]'' (which is a shoujo series) and can act the part of a stereotypical {{Ojou}} fairly well.
71* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate cornets, which she's very often seen eating for lunch at school.
72* VitriolicBestBuds:
73** Her relationship with Kagami is this. They may argue but they're genuinely best friends.
74** She also this relationship with her teacher Nanako. She constantly drives her teacher mad with her shenanigans, and she often dreads Nanako catching her slacking off and punishing her for it, yet outside class she is friendly with her, sharing various hobbies with her and being in the same MMORPG party.
75* VoiceChangeling: Konata is very skilled at imitating voices. She's able to do an accurate imitation of [[Manga/CrayonShinChan Shin-chan]], uses a very stereotypically feminine {{Ojou}}-style voice and speech patterns when she becomes hooked on ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'', and is able to perfectly imitate [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi Suzumiya's]] voice while cosplaying as her (though as a bonus, both she and Haruhi have the same voice actress in both Japanese and English).
76* WrongGenreSavvy: Konata often talks about tripping {{Event Flags}} like she's in a DatingSim, even though she's actually in a SliceOfLife comedy.
77* YuriFan: She watches ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'' and ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'', and bought some of Hiyori's Minami/Yutaka {{doujinshi}} at Comiket, although she's initially unaware that the latter ''was'' based on her otherwise innocent cousin.

82[[caption-width-right:247:A little peek wouldn't hurt.]]
83->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AmiKoshimizu (JP [Drama CD[=/=]NDS game]), Creator/EmiriKatou (JP [Anime[=/PS2=] game) and Creator/KariWahlgren (EN)
84
85Konata's closest friend and Tsukasa's older twin sister. She is easily angered by some of Konata's more..."playful" antics, but always seems to be the one who understands her hobbies. While she's nowhere near Konata's level of geekiness, she does enjoy scrolling shooter games and {{light novels}}.
86----
87%%* BlueWithShock: Her standard reaction to Konata's quips.
88* BookSmart: She gets really good grades due to putting a lot of effort into studying, especially compared to Konata and Tsukasa who aren't as hardworking.
89* ChallengeGamer: Lampshaded in one episode, where she sees Misao having fun playing a fighting game despite not being very skilled at it, and is frustrated at herself for playing so seriously. This is quite similar to her ''tsun'' side in life.
90* CharacterCatchphrase: "Mattaku..." ("Seriously/Really..."), whenever she's annoyed.
91* ClassRepresentative: Starts at Grade 10 in the manga, and Grades 11-12 in the anime.
92* DeadpanSnarker: In the dub at least, she's usually annoyed when she snarks, but sometimes she's deadpan.
93* EmbarrassingNickname:
94** Konata sometimes calls her "Kagamin". Although it's meant be [[AffectionateNickname endearing]] [[{{Troll}} (usually)]], Kagami doesn't always appreciate it.
95** She accidentally invokes this on herself in an episode. After being annoyed by Konata trying to give her the nickname "Kyou-chan" (which is based on an AlternateCharacterReading of her real name), she tells Konata to start calling her "Kagami-sama/Kagami the Great" instead, thinking Konata wouldn't actually do it. [[GoneHorriblyRight She does.]]
96* FirstNameBasis: It says a lot about how often Kagami comes over to Konata, Tsukasa, and Miyuki's class that all of their classmates casually refer to her by her first name, while everyone in her class still calls her by her last name. There's even a scene that [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.
97* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: In terms of personality, Kagami is the [[StraightMan Straight Woman]] responsible sibling to Tsukasa's foolish, being smarter and a harder worker.
98* GamerChick: Downplayed; while she's not as big of a gamer as Konata, she's still shown to enjoy playing scrolling shooters and occasionally fighting games.
99* GenericCuteness: Konata said Kagami would look forgettable should she cut off her [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]] in the manga. In the anime, she instead says Kagami needed to keep them since she's a {{tsundere}}.
100* GirlishPigtails: She wears her long hair in pigtails, which hints at her [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak girlier side]] and fits her {{tsundere}} attitude. When Konata tries to imagine her without them, she decides that it's impossible since a tsundere ''has'' to have twintails.
101* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She doesn't love them as much as her sister, but she still owns a [[Literature/FullMetalPanic Bonta plush]].
102* GoodIsNotNice: {{Downplayed|Trope}}; she can be a bit grumpy and aggressive, even towards her own sister Tsukasa, but there are moments that show she still cares about her sister and her friends.
103* HatesBeingAlone: Kagami would be too proud to ever admit it, but Konata suggests the former suffers from this. In fact, she feels sad and depressed when alone and needs her friends very much.
104* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kagami is a little cranky, brash and aggressive, and can be a bit egotistical at times. Still, she's a good person and cares for her friends, and she's ultimately quite kind despite her harshness. Then, would she ever be a jerk at all if it wasn't for Konata's mischief?
105* TheLancer: Of the main cast. She's a {{Foil}} to TheHero Konata, after all.
106* LethalChef: Konata likes to [[{{Flanderization}} flanderize]] her as one, but she's just not as good as Tsukasa.
107* LuminescentBlush: Naturally, during her deredere moments. Displayed a full body blush during her defining Comiket scene (her whole face and even her hands turned red).
108* MeaningfulName: The four Hiiragi sisters all have ThemeNaming going on with reference to the Shinto Religion. In Kagami's case, her name refers to mirrors, a sacred object in Shinto and part of the Imperial regalia.
109* {{Miko}}: She works as a part-time miko along with Tsukasa and their older sisters, since their father is the local shrine's priest.
110* {{Moe}}: InUniverse -- her [[{{Tsundere}} attitude]] is deemed adorable by Konata, which leads to ''lots'' of teasing. Cue Yuri Fanfics.
111* {{Muggle}}: She plays this role in terms of otaku culture, although her prejudice in that is relatively minor. Her criticism is more concentrated in Konata's DirtyOldMan antics, irresponsible spending, laziness in studies, and the lack of a real-life goal.
112* NotSoAboveItAll: Especially in the last episode. We get hints of it early on, such as when she tries to call out Konata and Tsukasa for doing the whole FunnyFanVoice routine, only for her dad to cheerfully point out that she'd been doing it before Konata arrived.
113* OnlySaneMan: She's the most sane and normal of the main cast and probably the most normal a ''Lucky Star'' character can get. While she does have interests that can be considered "nerdy", as she's fond of light novels and scrolling shooter games, she's much more grounded in reality than the hardcore {{Otaku}} characters like Konata, Hiyori or Patty (who all have their various quirks and frequently compare things in real life to anime and games).
114* PolarOppositeTwins: With Tsukasa, being the smart and responsible StraightMan compared to Tsukasa's ditzy, forgetful nature.
115* RedOniBlueOni: Kagami can either be Konata's blue or Tsukasa's red. Konata is playful and airheaded, while Kagami is serious and realistic; that said, Kagami is also quick to temper while Tsukasa is a ShrinkingViolet.
116* StraightMan: She's the most normal of the protagonists, and often calls out her friends and sister about their antics.
117* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Tsukasa's Girly Girl but Girly Girl to Konata's Tomboy.
118* TomboyishPonytail: Seen with a ponytail once with Konata and Tsukasa. She didn't look good in it, being ungirlish.
119* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Though she's not very good at housework and frequently uses masculine language (especially when she's angry), she also has a soft, sensitive girly side and wears her long hair in GirlishPigtails.
120* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pocky
121* {{Tsundere}}: A more platonic Harsh type, especially towards Konata. While she's often referred to as a tsundere even InUniverse, she's not the stereotypical "brutalize the protagonist" tsundere, since she's generally pretty kind. Her deredere side doesn't focus on romantic feelings but more on her loneliness in general, since she's more attached to her friends than she cares to admit and is secretly disappointed that she's never in the same homeroom class as Tsukasa and the others. Her {{Image Song}}s also focus on this -- one is fast and upbeat, the other a bit slow and has lyrics hinting at her loneliness. Episode 10's "Lucky Channel" discusses at length whether "tsundere" is the right word to describe her.
122* TsurimeEyes: The most significant feature to distinguish her from Tsukasa, and to highlight her smart and serious nature. She currently provides the page image.
123* VitriolicBestBuds: With Konata. Konata often exchanges snarky remarks, while Kagami displays exasperation and frustration with Konata's lazy and hardcore {{Otaku}} nature.
124* WeightWoe: She's very insecure about her weight and will always despair whenever she gains a few pounds, though it doesn't help that she's fond of snacks like Pocky. Even Konata gets annoyed by her fixation on her weight.
125-->'''Konata''': ''(Sigh)'' This is one of the reasons why girls are so...\
126'''Kagami''': [[HypocriticalHumor Hello. You're supposed to be a girl, too, aren't you?]]
127* YaoiFangirl: Subverted. When she sees a [[{{Filth}} a pretty graphic doujin]] of Gauron and Sousuke from ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'' at Comiket, she takes a peek out of curiosity, but this results in a LuminescentBlush and a speedy exit since it was "too intense" for her.

131[[quoteright:142:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsukasa_588.png]]
132->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MaiNakahara (JP [Drama CD[=/=]NDS game]), Creator/KaoriFukuhara (JP [Anime[=/PS2=] game]) and Creator/MichelleRuff (EN)
133
134Kagami's cheerful and very airheaded younger twin sister. She's actually very good at home chores and cooking, although she sometimes has to ask for Kagami's help because she forgets things easily.
135----
136* BeautifulDreamer: [[http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/Yumi-Kimi-hime/Lucky%20Star%20icons/thls111icon.gif Awwwww.]] Granted, it's ''Kagami'' who discovers her sleeping, and there's no romantic intentions.
137%%* BlankWhiteEyes: Her standard reaction to Konata's quips.
138* BookDumb: She doesn't have very good grades, unlike Kagami. Episode 2 has her try to fix this by planning out her study time during Golden Week, but she ends up forgetting to follow the plan.
139* ButtMonkey: A lot of jokes that revolve around Tsukasa tend to happen at her own expense, due to how [[TheDitz ditzy]] and forgetful she is. Both Konata and her own sister Kagami tend to comment on [[BookDumb how low her grades are]], much to her embarrassment.
140* CaptainErsatz: Of Akari Kamigishi of ''VisualNovel/ToHeart'', at least when it comes to character designs. Lampshaded at least twice in the anime -- when Konata gives her a school uniform for a birthday gift (Kagami is instantly reminded of ''VisualNovel/ToHeart''), and when she was noticed by some otakus who take pictures of her because of the resemblance and ask her to say "Hiroyuki-chan".
141* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Downplayed; she can come off as a bit odd sometimes (like when she remarks that strawberries smell like strawberry shortcake, forgetting that strawberry shortcake is ''made'' from strawberries), but this is more out of innocence and [[TheDitz ditziness]] than actually being weird, and she's nowhere near as eccentric as [[{{Otaku}} Konata]]. There's also a minor RunningGag about her fixation on the word "balsamic vinegar", which she seems to think is an [[InherentlyFunnyWords Inherently Funny Word]].
142* TheDitz: She's very sweet and innocent, but also airheaded, forgetful and BookDumb; even the most mundane tasks like studying, reading a newspaper or ''finding her own cellphone number'' prove to be very challenging for her. Ironically, her issue occasionally seems to be ''over''thinking something. Prime examples of this are in the anime's second episode, where we see that she spent more time scheduling her studying rather than actually studying, and when she was in the hurdle race of the school's sports festival and was thinking so much about Miyuki's advice on counting her steps that she slammed into ''every single hurdle''.
143* ExpressiveAccessory: Her yellow hair bow tends to droop when she's sad or worried, or spike up when she's shocked.
144* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's more feminine than her {{Tsundere}} twin sister Kagami and OtakuSurrogate Konata, and one of the very few things she's good at is cooking.
145* {{Foil}}: She often serves as this to Konata and Kagami. Highlighted in the anime when Konata asks the twins their favorite colors (white for Tsukasa, black for Kagami[[note]]in the manga it's violet[[/note]]) and when Kagami asks the other two how they reacted to a particular manga scene (Konata laughed, Tsukasa cried; however both answer "Manga/SgtFrog" when asked about their favorite manga, prompting Kagami to wonder: "Are you the same or different?").
146* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Tsukasa is the foolish to Kagami's responsible, being [[TheDitz ditzier]] and more forgetful.
147* GirlishPigtails: Her [[TwinSwitch switch]] with Kagami. Also fits her cute personality.
148* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has her whole bed decorated with tiny stuffed plushies and has been seen sleeping with two white bear plushies on the ends of her bed.
149* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's generally girlier than her more tomboyish and outspoken twin sister Kagami, being soft-spoken and enjoying traditionally feminine activities like sewing and [[FeminineWomenCanCook cooking]]. However, she has much shorter hair than Kagami does and often reads {{shonen|Demographic}} manga in her spare time, with her favourite being ''Manga/SgtFrog'' (though it's likely that she just finds the frog characters cute).
150* HeavySleeper: She wakes up at noon, sometimes ''later'', and still thinks it's morning until someone points it out to her.
151* IdiotsCannotCatchColds: Kagami says she always seems to be fine when everyone else is laid up, which Konata calls "inconspicuous"...
152* TheIngenue: A lesser degree of this trope when compared to Yutaka below, but she is rather innocent on top of already being BookDumb.
153* LongHairIsFeminine: Inverted; she has the shortest hair of the main four girls, but she's girlier than Kagami and Konata, who both have much longer hair.
154* MeaningfulName: The four Hiiragi sisters all have ThemeNaming going on with reference to the Shinto Religion. In Tsukasa's case, her name refers to shinto priests.
155* {{Miko}}: She works as a part-time miko along with Kagami and their older sisters, since their father is a Shinto priest.
156* NiceGirl: [[AllThereInTheManual The official guide]] lists "Good Person" as her highest stat. One strip also shows that her idea of an April Fool's joke is lying about lying.
157* PhoneaholicTeenager: Downplayed; while she's not completely obsessed with her cellphone, she briefly becomes addicted to texting after she gets the hang of it. It's to the point where she constantly texts Kagami (even though they're twin sisters who spend most of their time together) with at least one of her texts having an entire wall of emojis tacked to the end, and the Hiiragi household's phone bill skyrocketed because of her texting habits alone.
158* PolarOppositeTwins: With Kagami, being the forgetful, BookDumb ditz compared to her smarter and more responsible twin sister.
159* SignatureHeadgear: She's rarely seen without her trademark yellow hair bow, which doubles as an ExpressiveAccessory at times.
160* ShrinkingViolet: She has purple hair and can be timid around strangers, so she tend to hide behind her sister.
161* {{Sleepyhead}}: Classic example of the hardworking subtype.
162* TaremeEyes: To highlight her niceness and kindhearted nature, and to differentiate her from Kagami. She currently provides the page image.
163* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to her tomboy twin, Kagami.
164* VerbalTic: "Balsamic vinegar", which she seems to consider an InherentlyFunnyWord.

170
171The "[[TheSmartGuy smart girl]]" of the main quartet and embodiment of many stereotypical BespectacledCutie traits, including a very polite manner of speech (even amongst her friends).
172----
173* TheAce: Konata praises her for her high grades, and Nanako Kuroi seems to make Miyuki always the class representative because, as Konata mentioned, Nanako herself has less work to do (Konata gets slammed for it). And in [[{{Otaku}} Konata and Hiyori]]'s point of view, they regard all of Miyuki's faults as "Moe points".
174* AffectionateNickname: Tsukasa calls her "Yuki-chan", as opposed to Konata and Kagami who address her more formally as "Miyuki-san".
175* AfraidOfDoctors: Miyuki is afraid of going to the dentist, and often tries avoiding dentist appointments even when she knows she should go.
176* BespectacledCutie: A typical smart, sweet-natured girl who wears glasses. Despite her high intelligence and various skills, her glasses give her a hint of vulnerability and cuteness, which Konata even lampshades.
177* BewareTheNiceOnes: Occasionally; one Volume 4 strip has Konata telling her that she and the other girls won't blindly follow orders. When she replies with a smile that she'll entertain other opinions, even Kuroi-sensei freaks out, implying she's willing to pretend to hear them out so long as ultimately she calls the shots. She's that assertive... she's just too polite to be blunt about it.
178* BlindWithoutEm: Without her glasses, Miyuki has a 20/200 vision.
179* BoobBasedGag: Konata and Minami thought Miyuki, though unable to swim, can at least float ''because'' of her breasts. She even gets a [[AnimalMotifs cow joke]] from Konata at one point and wins a race [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh solely by being able to break the ribbon earlier]].
180* BookSmart: She gets the highest grades out of all of the main characters, thanks to her generally good work ethic and her love of learning.
181* CharmPoint: Her glasses, which Konata says give her major moe points.
182* ClassRepresentative: Kept doing this, even if, personality-wise, she subverts the type. Even Konata mocks Nanako for having Miyuki as the Class Rep everytime so that she herself has less work to do.
183* CoolBigSis: To Minami. When talking to Konata about her, Miyuki downright said that she's like a little sister, and in the manga, Minami even starts to call her "onee-chan" (big sister), albeit originally by accident.
184* CuteClumsyGirl: In fact, her clumsiness is part of what makes Konata consider her so adorable. Miyuki lampshades her own clumsiness in the first episode by mentioning how she often accidentally does things like cutting herself while peeling potatoes, falling on her face while running to board a train, getting her bag stuck as the train's doors close, etc. This is because she spends so much time thinking about various things that she doesn't pay as much attention to her surroundings as she should.
185* DisappearedDad: Her dad is mentioned once or twice, but never seen in the series.
186* DitzyGenius: She [[BookSmart gets excellent grades in school]], is capable of all kinds of tasks, has a wealth of knowledge on a wide variety of subjects and often comes up with the best ideas out of the group when they're faced with a problem. However, she's also quite clumsy and prone to spacing out. The implication is that she's so busy thinking about things that she pays less attention to the world around her than she should be, leading to her clumsy moments.
187* FormalCharactersUseKeigo: Her Japanese speech patterns are always very polite, reflecting her wealthy upbringing. When Konata gets hooked on ''Marimite'' and starts talking like a stereotypical {{Ojou}}, Miyuki seamlessly plays along with it.
188* HotTeacher: As of manga volume 8, [[spoiler:she's doing work as a home-tutor.]]
189* HugeSchoolgirl: She isn't ''huge'', but still quite tall for a Japanese girl -- although she's only slightly taller than the Hiiragis and is slightly shorter than Patty. However, she spends a lot of time with the diminutive Konata, and compared to the latter she ''is'' huge.
190* InformedAttractiveness: She's considered very pretty, to the point that Konata, Kagami and Tsukasa wonder why boys don't try to ask her out. In terms of design, she has the same GenericCuteness as everyone else, with only her height and bust making her stand out.
191* LongHairIsFeminine: The most feminine in the group, and she has long, wavy pink hair.
192* {{Moe}}: She's considered as this in-universe by Konata on account of her talents, adorable flaws, and her shapely figure, to the point of even ''deifying'' her.
193-->'''Konata''': She's a walking shrine of Moe!
194* MsExposition: The go-to character for any and all explanations, leading to [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} her fan nickname]].
195* NiceGirl: She's as much of a sweetheart in personality as she is in looks.
196* {{Ojou}}: Wealthy, kind, cute, polite, smart, and respected by pretty much all of her friends.
197* OnlySaneWoman: When Konata pranks an angry Kagami and Tsukasa being rather [[TheDitz ditzy]].
198* OutOfFocus: Towards the latter half of the anime. {{Lampshaded}} by the mangaka in the {{omake}} -- which is sort of unfortunate as Yoshimizu apparently has a BespectacledCutie fetish.
199* ParodySue: Mercilessly lampshaded by Konata as ''"The Perfect Superwoman" and ''"The personification of Moe itself."''
200* PinkMeansFeminine: She has pink hair and quite a feminine personality as she is polite and very sweet.
201* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She's very polite and proper, and she always wears tights with her uniform, even during summer.
202* RoseHairedSweetie: She has salmon pink hair, and despite being an {{Ojou}} she's very kind.
203* TheSmartGirl: She tends to have the highest grades of her class, sometimes by far. Tsukasa even notes there's no way they can compete with her to see who has the highest grades. In the OVA she comes up with a way to split three biscuits among the four of them by separating the top and bottom halves, giving one to each person, then splitting the remaining two in half and distributing them evenly.
204* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She wears glasses and is the most intelligent of the group, having the highest grades and often knowing facts that the other three don't.
205* SpoiledSweet: She's a smart, polite, well-mannered and friendly girl who comes from a wealthy family .
206* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks almost exactly like her mother, only with longer hair and glasses. What she ''didn't'' inherit from her mother, luckily, is the latter's [[{{Manchild}} childish]] [[TheDitz ditziness]]. However, Miyuki also said she was ''forced'' to be more competent or else the family [[TooDumbToLive won't be able to function]].
207* SurpassedTheTeacher: Much to the envy of Nanako, Kagami, Tsukasa, and Konata prefer to rely on her knowledge when they have questions about the topics she teaches in the school.
208* TokenRichStudent: While Minami is implied to be from a rich family as well (since she and Miyuki live on the same street), Miyuki is the only character whose wealthy background is focused on, and yet she still goes to the same public school as her middle-class friends.
209* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of the dentist.
210* YoungerThanSheLooks: She mentions that she's sometimes mistaken for an office lady when she goes out in her casual clothes. This has become her primary annoyance and woe; her maturity compared to [[{{Manchild}} Yukari]] sometimes make her appear ''older'' than her mother.

215[[folder:Yutaka Kobayakawa]]
216[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yutakakobayakawaeyui.png]]
217->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AiShimizu (JP [Drama CD[=/=]NDS game]), Creator/ShizukaHasegawa (JP [Anime[=/PS2=] game]) and Creator/HyndenWalch (EN)
218
219Konata's cousin and Yui's younger sister, who comes to live with the Izumi family after she's accepted into Konata's high school. She's a [[DelicateAndSickly frail]] but [[CheerfulChild cheerful]] girl who, like her cousin, [[OlderThanTheyLook looks much younger than she really is]]. Her friendship with Minami often falls into PseudoRomanticFriendship territory.
220----
221* AffectionateNickname: Konata and Soujirou both call her "Yu-chan".
222* BrokenBird: Averted. In Volume 4 Chapter 118, it was revealed that Yui's [[ThePowerOfLove sisterly love]] helped her avert problems in social interactions resulting from the years of constantly falling ill.
223* CaptainErsatz: Of Chiyo Mihama of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh''. This was {{lampshade}}d when she introduced herself in front of the class, and ''further'' lampshaded when she found she unwittingly [[ShoutOut shouted out]] to Chiyo, because "[Konata]'s geekiness is rubbing off on me!"
224* CheerfulChild: She's actually a teenager, but [[OlderThanTheyLook her short height, youthful looks]] and [[TheIngenue innocence]] still makes her come across as this trope.
225* CuteClumsyGirl: Konata observed she has that same "cute shortcoming" as Miyuki.
226* CuteOversizedSleeves: She's a sweet girl who wears sleeves that often go past her hands, due to [[OlderThanTheyLook how small she is for her age]].
227* CutesyDwarf: In-universe assumption of some of her classmates towards her, which is not particularly surprising in light of her associated tropes. She isn't really comfortable about this.
228* {{Foil}}: To the more dirty-minded Konata who's brash and a prankster.
229* DelicateAndSickly: While she's never had any dangerous disease, her weak constitution makes her succumb to common ailments ''very'' easily. She's not happy about this, since she hates making people worry every time she gets sick and her poor health has often forced her to miss out on socializing with others.
230* TheDitz: Of a much lesser magnitude compared to Tsukasa though.
231* DontYouDarePityMe: She has moments of this, mainly because [[IJustWantToBeNormal she doesn't like how frail she is]]. For example, in a Volume 7 strip where, [[spoiler:hearing that Minami has been helping her to the latter's detriment in PE, she harshly asked Minami to ''not'' help in a ''long-distance running match'']].
232* FamilyThemeNaming: She and her older sister's names both start with "Yu".
233* GenderBlenderName: "Yutaka" is technically a unisex name, but it's given much more often to boys than to girls.
234* GirlishPigtails: She wears her hair in short pigtails, which highlight her cute and innocent personality.
235* HeightAngst: She's not happy about how short she is for her age, and since her cousin Konata is similarly short, she laments that she doesn't have much hope of growing any taller.
236* IJustWantToBeNormal: She has streaks of this, which acts as a {{deconstruction}} of some of her tropes -- her [[OlderThanTheyLook growth deficiencies]] and [[DelicateAndSickly poor health]], considered as her major {{Charm Point}}s, clearly brought her social issues and she clearly likes neither. Also see DontYouDarePityMe.
237* TheIngenue: She's ''too'' innocent for the Izumis to discuss porn in front of her. Figures.
238--> '''Yutaka''': Oh Tamura-saaaaaan! What does 'yaoi' mean?
239* LittleSisterHeroine: At least Konata thinks she is.
240* {{Moe}}: She's viewed as this in-universe by her cousin [[OtakuSurrogate Konata]] on account of her ''cute flimsy legs'', along with other moe points such as DelicateAndSickly, {{UsefulNotes/Kawaisa}} and TheIngenue.
241* NiceGirl: One of the kindest and most innocent people in the series.
242* NotGrowingUpSucks: Even at ''tenth'' grade she found that it ''sucks'' being too short to find a boyfriend. Missing many of her classmates' social activities due to [[DelicateAndSickly constant illnesses]] doesn't help, either.
243* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite being fifteen years old, she's even shorter than Konata at 138cm (4'6").
244* PseudoRomanticFriendship: As much as Hiyori [[ShipperOnDeck likes to imagine her and Minami in romantic situations]], they're not actually a couple, though their relationship still falls into this trope; they become very close over the course of their friendship, and Yutaka even blushes when meeting Minami for the first time.
245* ShrinkingViolet: She's very shy and timid, especially when meeting new people.
246* SiblingYinYang: She has low stamina due to being DelicateAndSickly, while her older sister Yui is a GenkiGirl who's always full of energy.

250[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minamiiwasakihed.png]]
251->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MiyuMatsuki (JP [Drama CD[=/=]NDS game]), Creator/MinoriChihara (JP [Anime[=/PS2=] game]) and Creator/MichelleRuff (EN)
252
253Entering the story by [[ReturningTheHandkerchief returning Yutaka's handkerchief]] in the beginning of what can be seen as a PseudoRomanticFriendship, Minami is a quiet, expressionless girl often misunderstood by others to be creepy. Good at most subjects, and is childhood friends with neighbour Miyuki since both of them love reading.
254----
255* ACupAngst: She is completely flat-chested -- at least Konata and Yutaka have very small ones. Her angsting over this is close to OnceAnEpisode frequency.
256* BadassBookworm: Has the tendency in unanimated manga, coupled with her ChronicHeroSyndrome.
257* {{Bifauxnen}}: Despite being short-haired, flat-chested and taller than most of her friends, she doesn't normally qualify for this trope until Episode 24, when Hiyori has her dress up in a princely outfit for their homeroom's [[Creator/TakarazukaRevue Takarazuka]]-themed cafe for the cultural festival.
258* ChronicHeroSyndrome: She appears to always be ready to help people.
259* HiddenEyes: Happens often when she gets into an embarrasing situation.
260* HugeSchoolgirl: At 163cm, she's not ''that'' tall. The assumption, however, frequently stems from her association with the ''extremely'' diminutive Yutaka.
261* InnerMonologue: As she's [[TheQuietOne not that much of a talker]], she has a lot of this.
262* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Many of her classmates think she wants to be alone, but she's really just a shy and sweet girl.
263* NiceGirl: Though she does tend to scare the class because she looks cool and aloof, she's actually a very nice girl.
264* PseudoRomanticFriendship: As much as Hiyori [[ShipperOnDeck likes to imagine her and Yutaka in romantic situations]], they're not actually a couple, though their relationship still falls into this trope; despite how quiet and aloof she is at first, she clearly develops a soft spot for Yutaka and they develop a very close friendship.
265* TheQuietOne: Part of what makes the class consider her somewhat creepy is how quiet she usually is.
266* ReiAyanamiExpy: An AffectionateParody and {{subverted|trope}}. Minami is a young girl with short mint green hair and blue eyes who is considered creepy by her peers because of her reserved personality. It turns out she's just a regular ShrinkingViolet whose shyness is frequently mistaken for her being eerie, and the most angst she has is over her [[ACupAngst flat chest]].
267* SecretlyWealthy: Implied. She lives in the same block as Miyuki.
268* ShrinkingViolet: She may seem aloof and intimidating, but she's really very shy and awkward around others.
269* TsurimeEyes: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Minami's almond-shaped eyes are one of the characteristics that make her come off as an intimidating character. Her personality is really shy and meek.

275
276Yutaka and Minami's classmate, member of the Animation Research Club, and a budding {{doujinshi}} {{yonkoma}} artist with a habit of shipping anime and game characters, as well as [[ShipperOnDeck her friends Minami and Yutaka]].
277----
278* AffectionateNickname: Konata and Patty sometimes refer to her as "Hiyorin".
279* AmbiguouslyBi: Her frequent fantasies about her friends indicate this or an overactive imagination. There's also the fact that she's both a YaoiFangirl ''and'' a YuriFan (though there's more emphasis on the latter).
280* AnimalsHateHim: Or at least Minami's dog. She has a dog herself, so this is a subversion.
281* BlueWithShock: Her reaction when Yutaka asks her [[TheIngenue what yaoi means]].
282* TheChewToy: Almost as if Yoshimizu is punishing her for her perversions, she is the regular victim of AmusingInjuries, {{Freudian Slip}}s, accidents and other misfortunes.
283* CovertPervert: Draws erotic manga and fantasizes about her friends in romantic situations rather more than is probably healthy, much to her own consternation. Though given what a rotten job she does of hiding it, "covert" is debatable.
284%%* ForeheadOfDoom
285* FreudianSlip: At one point she mistook dodgeball positions as {{Seme}} and {{Uke}}. Language note: Attacker at dodgeball is still {{seme}}; it was {{uke}} that she made the slip -- the correct term is ''mamori''. [[{{Woolseyism}} Expertly handled]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzzqsInGaBQ in the dub.]]
286-->'''Hiyori''': And you're okay with her trying to nail you? Yeah I bet you ar--
287* ImagineSpot: Often falls into this when she fantasizes Minami and Yutaka as lesbians.
288** Strips in Volume 4/5 show her making different {{yaoi}}/{{yuri}} fantasies about [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHolidays Setsubun]], not to mention another about Konata kissing Miyuki, after the former said that tooth decay can be transmitted by kissing.
289** Another notable one is when Izumi begs Yutaka not to reveal her [[ClosetGeek geek identity]]. Hiyori proceeds to imagine [[SexualExtortion how a less-than-honorable guy would stereotypically react in Yutaka's place]]. [[spoiler:Izumi [[ImagineSpotting notices Hiyori's reaction]].]]
290* {{Joshikousei}}: One of her {{Image Song}}s revolves around this.
291* NerdGlasses: She wears large, round glasses and is almost as much of an {{otaku}} as Konata, particularly when it comes to drawing {{doujinshi}}.
292* {{Otaku}}: While she's not quite as fanatical about it as Konata, she's definitely an otaku herself, as she loves anime and video games and draws {{doujinshi}} that she sells at Comiket.
293* PhraseCatcher: "She's Strong..." Said by Minami and Yutaka on many occasions.
294* ScaryShinyGlasses: Goes that at a plot-bunny-dissecting mode.
295%%* SequentialArtist
296* ShipperOnDeck: She frequently sees Minami and Yutaka as more than just an OddFriendship. In the manga she implied that she befriended them simply to find chances at shipping them. Also, it is also implied that if they knew the way she shipped them, they would be ''angry''.
297* YaoiFangirl: She draws both yaoi and yuri doujinshi, sometimes leading to embarassment when her manga is brought up. Though there's more focus on her YuriFan tendencies, she does use the terms "{{seme}}" and "{{uke}}" when describing positions in dodgeball and is mortified when she realizes what she just said.
298* YuriFan: She draws yuri doujinshi and often has {{Imagine Spot}}s where she ships Minami and Yutaka together, much to her own embarassment.

304
305[[OccidentalOtaku American Otaku]] in Yutaka's class, and the most [[GenkiGirl genki]] of otakus of this series.
306-----
307* AffectionateParody: Of American otaku.
308* AnimeAccentAbsence: Completely absent in the anime, only absent in hobby-related things in the manga. The dub version has a slight twang compared to her Japanese schoolmates.
309* AscendedExtra: Patty is an {{omake}}-only character in the early manga, only to be ascended to the main manga chapters later. Averted in the anime, where she's introduced in Episode 16 and remains prominent through to the end.
310* BubblyWaitress: She's generally cheerful and upbeat, and she works at the same CosplayCafe as Konata while still retaining her cheerful demeanor.
311%%*CuteButCacophonic: Has quite the shrill of a voice.
312* ForeignExchangeStudent: She's an American exchange student and otaku who came to Japan to learn Japanese culture. However, most of what she knows about Japan [[{{Animeland}} is based on manga and anime]], which doesn't always match the reality.
313* FunnyForeigner: She's an American exchange student [[OccidentalOtaku who's also a big anime fan]], and much of the humor surrounding her relates to how skewed her ideas of Japan are thanks to all the anime and manga she's consumed, essentially viewing Japan as an {{Animeland}}. Konata and Hiyori, her fellow anime fans, do very little to discourage her views.
314* GenkiGirl: Incredibly energetic and willing to participate it anything fun.
315* GorgeousGaijin: She's an American, and has the second largest breast size of the entire cast.
316* HugeSchoolgirl: She's around average height for an American schoolgirl, but she's living in Japan where [[JustifiedTrope people are naturally shorter]], and many of her friends are small even by Japanese standards.
317%%* LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision
318* OccidentalOtaku: She's an American girl who's also a big anime fan, and her knowledge of Japanese culture seemed to be limited to anime.
319* PhenotypeStereotype: She's blonde and fits many traits of a stereotypical blonde.
320* ProudToBeAGeek: She's very open about being an OccidentalOtaku, claiming that otaku are the pride of Japanese culture and that she wants to absorb everything she can about otaku culture and take it back with her to America so she can distribute it to the people. Who else would openly say she wants to have a {{Meido}} -- not a housekeeper -- in front of Kagami, of all people?
321* {{Retcon}}: In the manga, she made a few appearance in the omakes and was already known by everybody in the cast. Come Vol.7, she is introduced at the main storyline as a new face among the cast.
322* TokenWhite: Being the caucasian American exchange student in a Japanese school.
323* YaoiFangirl: She said she is one, but we have yet to see more evidence of that.

329
330Kagami and Ayano's classmate for five consecutive years, Misao is the latter's childhood friend and, as defined by the former, an unorganized "lazy ass". A recurring theme in post-anime strips is her rivalry with Konata -- for Kagami, even Misao considered Kagami as being cold-hearted.
331----
332* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair went from black to brown.
333%%* ChildhoodFriends: With Ayano.
334* CuteLittleFangs: Not only do they look adorable, they complement her tomboyish image.
335* DumbIsGood: Quite evident when we compare her and [[ChallengeGamer Kagami's gaming style]].
336* TechnicianVersusPerformer: In Episode 23, Misao is revealed to be the Performer to Kagami's Technician, as Misao plays games for fun, while Kagami plays them to score high.
337%%* ThoseTwoGirls: With Ayano.
338* {{Tomboy}}: She's pretty much the stereotypical tomboy of the show and written to represent that; she has short hair, prefers outdoor activities over studying, and doesn't wear skirts or dresses outside of school.
339* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Ayano's Girly Girl.

347
348Misao's "[[TheCaretaker caretaker]]" (in Kagami's words) for years to the level that when Kagami was fed up with Misao or vice versa, Ayano is their go-between. She is the only teen in the series with a boyfriend.
349----
350* BerserkButton: Misao experienced this hidden side of Ayano when she spilled coffee on her stuffed raccoon in the manga, though we never got to see the full extent of Ayano's anger...
351* BewareTheNiceOnes: In the manga, she has a very scary moment of this after Misao dream-talked about... something sexy between Ayano and Misao's brother. While Misao does lampshade her status as this in episode 23 of the anime, it comes off as an InformedAttribute since she never actually shows her scarier side.
352-->'''Misao (in the English dub)''': She may act all sweet and mellow, but if you piss her off she'll cut you, man.
353* TheCaretaker: Very nurturing and motherly around her friends, particularly Misao.
354%%* ChildhoodFriends: With Misao.
355* DemotedToExtra: She's one of the girls who have barely any lines in the {{OVA}}.
356* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's very feminine and quite skilled at cooking and baking. However, her family runs a cooking school, so there may be non-gender-role justification.
357* ForeheadOfDoom: Wears her hair like this because her boyfriend likes it.
358* GirlyBruiser: Just because she's girly doesn't mean she's a pushover - she gets angry when pushed around.
359* GirlyGirl: Very feminine, gentle, nurturing in personality and what she's known for.
360* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Although she's mostly girly, she has quite a "scary" temper.
361* InformedAttribute: The fact that she has a boyfriend, as said boyfriend [[TheGhost never actually appears]]. Her [[BewareTheNiceOnes scarier side]] is also this in the anime, since Misao mentions it but Ayano herself never actually shows it.
362* LongHairIsFeminine: A very girly character with long orange hair.
363* SatelliteCharacter: She's defined almost entirely by her friendships with Misao and Kagami.
364* ShrinkingViolet: Volume 8 mentioned that she was like that when she was younger.
365%%* TaremeEyes: Matches with her girlishness.
366%%* ThoseTwoGirls: With Misao
367* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Misao's Tomboy.
368* YamatoNadeshiko: Passive, likes taking care of others, and a good cook. To complete the image, [[InformedAttribute sort of]], she has a boyfriend. However, she is no pushover.

376-----
377* ChallengeGamer: One of the running joke about her is her trying to beat Konata on arcade fighting games.
378* GamerChick: Her otaku tendencies are mainly in gaming and less on manga -- that doesn't mean she does not care about manga anyway.
379%%* TsurimeEyes: has them.

395
396ClassRepresentative of Hiyori's class who appears in Volume 7. She is also an otaku, but tries to hide it as she is an upper-class girl who is class president. However, she runs into Hiyori on one of her shopping trips to Comiket, who discovers her secret. She is good at home economics, but is bad at art. She likes "cute" things and likes sweets, as well as coffee and milk.
397----
398* BookDumb: Izumi completely flounders academically. At one point she even filled in the same letter for every question on a multiple choice test and ''still'' got them all wrong.
399* ClassRepresentative: Grades aside, she's a model student who as class rep keeps her fellow students on track and is very attuned to their needs. She personally carried Hiyori to the nurse's office after being the only one to notice she was having a fainting spell.
400* ClosetGeek: Unlike the other otaku characters, who are [[ProudToBeAGeek very open about their hobbies]], she tries to hide her otaku interests and freaks out whenever she thinks she's been discovered.
401* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Konata first found out Izumi's an otaku after she overheard Izumi using the term "twintails" when most normal people would say "pigtails".

424->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MasumiAsano (JP [Drama CD[=/=]NDS game]), Konomi Maeda (JP [Anime[=/PS2=] game]) and Creator/KateHiggins (EN)
425
426Konata, Tsukasa and Miyuki's homeroom teacher, and world history teacher for all the seniors. [[MustHaveLotsOfFreeTime Has lots of free time]] to play video games and watch baseball games. Still believes in the power of corporal punishment.
427----
428* AccentAdaptation: In the English dub, her [[UnexplainedAccent inexplicable Kansai dialect]] is reflected by Creator/KateHiggins giving her voice a slight Southern twang.
429* CorporalPunishment: Frequently delivers rather aggressive {{Dope Slap}}s to {{Vitriolic Best Bud|s}} Konata. For example, when Konata commented that Miyuki is always selected as Class Representative as an excuse so that Nanako herself would have less work to do.
430* CuteLittleFangs: She has a visible fang whenever she opens her mouth, which fits with her fun-loving personality.
431* GamerChick: She's in the same party in the MMORPG Konata also plays. As a matter of fact, she is probably the #2 gamer chick in the series.
432* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Downplayed since she's not often shown doing it, but she's fond of drinking as a part of her WorkHardPlayHard attitude. In episode 6 of the anime, she even has a {{Beergasm}} that almost perfectly imitates [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Misato Katsuragi's]] famous beergasm frame-for-frame.
433* HotTeacher: A beautiful young teacher with CuteLittleFangs and a fun-loving personality. Though she's, to her dismay, still single.
434* MustHaveLotsOfFreeTime: Seems like Miyuki instead does most of the work as Class Representative. Konata wonders if that's the reason that she's still single; she didn't have that much of a social life.
435* NoSenseOfDirection: During the BeachEpisode, she frequently makes wrong turns when trying to get to the beach, at one point even ending up in the middle of a soccer field.
436* OldMaid: She's 27 years old and is secretly rather insecure about still being single. She incorrectly assumes that Yui is also single, even though Yui is actually HappilyMarried, and attempts to bond with her over it.
437* OneOfTheKids: Just because she's a young woman doesn't mean she's much more mature or less fun-loving than her students. She's also in the same party as Konata in the MMORPG they both play (though she'll still remind Konata to study even when they're both online), and in the OVA she plays alongside the Hiiragi twins as well.
438* ParentalHypocrisy: She plays the same online game as Konata, and has been into MMORPG's since before she was Konata's age, but she tells Konata off for doing that very thing, and ''uses in-game chat to remind her to do her homework''. When Konata calls her out on this, she remarks that, as a teacher, she has a duty to uphold, which Konata accepts as understandable, but still...
439* SenseiChan: A teacher who's young, attractive, secretly [[OldMaid insecure about still being single]], close to her students (especially Konata, with whom she often plays [=MMORPG=]s), and sometimes not much more mature than her students are (though she is at least wise enough to not sacrifice sleep for gaming time).
440* SternTeacher: She takes her duties as a teacher seriously, which is exemplified by her relationship with Konata, her most problematic student; she's always quick to chastise the small otaku for various misdemeanors such as being late, making up lame excuses, falling asleep in class or playing an MMO instead of studying and/or resting during schooldays, sometimes using corporal punishment to set her straight. Despite this, she does care about her students getting a good education and is generally on friendly terms with the main characters, even with Konata.
441* {{Tomboy}}: Grown up version who's pretty manly for a woman. She has her hair in [[TomboyishPonytail a low ponytail]], wears pants more often than skirts, and is a major GamerChick and a big fan of professional baseball.
442%%* TsurimeEyes
443* UnexplainedAccent: She speaks with a Kansai dialect (which the English dub [[AccentAdaptation reflects by giving her a slight Southern accent]]), despite not actually being from the Kansai region and the series taking place in a Tokyo suburb. In the manga, it's implied that she fakes the accent for unknown reasons.
444* VitriolicBestBuds: She has this relationship with her troublesome student Konata. She is constantly frustrated by Konata's slacker habits and harshly reprimands her whenever she falls asleep in class, neglects her homework or plays around instead of studying or waking up early, yet outside class she is friendly with her, sharing various hobbies with her and being in the same MMORPG party.
445* WorkHardPlayHard: Yes, in class she seems to be strict and always dope-slapping Konata for irresponsibility. Yet she is also a Konata-level GamerChick.
446* WouldHurtAChild: She's not above slapping her students or smacking them in the head for falling asleep, with her admitting it with utter joy. This is surprisingly PlayedForLaughs. She's lucky that her students think she's ''amazing'' for that, instead of reporting her by filling a complaint for child abuse.

451->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChiwaSaito (JP [Drama CD[=/=]NDS game]), Saori Nishihara (JP [Anime[=/PS2=] game]) and Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (EN)
452
453Konata's cousin and Yutaka's older sister. She works as a traffic cop, but even Konata wonders how can she keep at that position, considering how fun-loving and goofy she is. Despite her flightiness, she shows real care towards her younger sister. Has an offscreen husband.
454-----
455* BerserkButton: Only pass her while she's behind the wheel if you're prepared for an ''Manga/InitialD''-like race.
456* BespectacledCutie: A cute, kind and fun-loving young woman with glasses.
457* BunnyEarsLawyer: You usually don't want your police officers to be nonsensical goofballs. This is frequently [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Konata, who often wonders how Yui has managed to keep her job with a personality like hers.
458* DrivesLikeCrazy: Her driving skills are truly awe-inspiring, and she does it while ''still driving under the limit''.
459* FamilyThemeNaming: She and her younger sister Yutaka's names both start with "Yu".
460* GenkiGirl: So much so that even her default method of entering a room is slamming the door open, flailing her arms about and happily and loudly announcing herself.
461* HappilyMarried: Her husband is almost always out of town for work, but she loves him very much and is always delighted when she learns he's coming home.
462* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Usually crashes at the Izumi household when she's too drunk to drive home.
463* {{Hypocrite}}:
464** Yui at one point jokes about how lame cops are... despite being one herself.
465** When driving the Hiiragi sisters to the beach, she mentions how she knows everything there is to know about safe driving. Then a guy passes her. She gets pissed, and starts racing him. Kagami even lampshades it.
466* IdiotHair: While it doesn't stand out as much as Konata's, she still has a strand of hair that always sticks up. It fits with her goofy, flighty personality.
467* LongDistanceRelationship: She is in a commuter marriage with her husband, who's almost always out of town for work; in the anime, her husband never appears in person and is [[TheVoice only ever heard once over the phone]]. Because of this, Nanako assumes that Yui is single like she is and attempts to bond with her over it.
468* OneOfTheKids: Cheerful, energetic, and despite being a young woman, sometimes less mature than her teenage sister and cousin. She often comes over to hang out with Konata, and the only other adults she ever interacts with are Nanako and Soujirou.
469* PlayfulCatSmile: Her default expression, to go with her [[GenkiGirl energetic]] and playful personality.
470* SiblingYinYang: With Yutaka. She's outgoing and full of energy, while Yutaka is calmer and doesn't have much stamina due to being DelicateAndSickly.

475->'''Voiced by''': Hirokazu Hiramatsu (JP) and Creator/TonyOliver (EN)
476
477Konata's father and fellow {{otaku}}. Works as a freelance writer at home but surprisingly, he writes more serious, completely non-otaku topics. He raised his young daughter on his own after the death of his wife Kanata.
478-----
479* AudienceSurrogate: For the older male readers/audience, being a huge {{Otaku}} who's also very into cute young girls (to the point of being a ComedicLolicon).
480* BumblingDad: He's certainly not stupid or lazy, yet the entire Izumi-Kobayakawa household ''thinks'' so.
481* CassandraTruth: ''Nobody'' believes that he is actually a hardworking writer who can write wholesome, non-otaku-related topics, has quite a bit of book smarts, has had a relationship with Kanata that was far beyond {{comedic lolicon}}, so on and so forth.
482* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Kanata.
483* ComedicLolicon:
484** He buys [[HGame H-Games]] for his underage daughter, takes pictures of nubile girls at other schools' sports festivals, and the opening theme shows him watching a pair of schoolgirls while hiding behind a pole. Konata frequently gets fed up with this and fears for his arrest, even though he's portrayed as mostly harmless otherwise.
485** In later volumes of the manga this aspect of his gets subdued. One Volume 7 strip has Yutaka catching him [[spoiler:looking between the legs of figurines]] -- which horrified the innocent girl to no end. This ends up becoming a running gag.
486* DemotedToExtra: Didn't appear in the OVA.
487* DotingParent: Someone's got to give the guy credit for being an attentive and loving father who raised a happy and emotionally well-adjusted daughter to adulthood... eccentricities notwithstanding.
488* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He's not exactly "huge" per se, it's just his wife that was so short he towered above her.
489* KimonoIsTraditional: He typically wears a kimono and a haori, which references the Japanese stereotype of writers only ever wearing traditional clothing.
490* MeaningfulAppearance: He has a mole near the outer corner of his left eye. Such a mark customarily symbolizes sadness, which is appropriate for him; he really ''misses'' his late wife Kanata.
491* NiceGuy: Despite his eccentricities and sometimes-unhealthy levels of indulgence in his hobbies, he's overall a kindhearted man who loves his family.
492%%* OneOfTheKids
493* {{Otaku}}: He's hugely into anime, manga and video games. Konata clearly inherited many of her own nerdy interests from him.
494* PermaStubble: He has some noticeable stubble on his chin that he's never seen without, aside from flashbacks to when he was more clean-shaven.
495* PervertDad: With the bulk of his perviness oriented towards young girls, especially his daughter and younger niece. Konata puts up with most of his clinginess towards her, though she's quick to call him out whenever he makes perverted comments.
496* ProudToBeAGeek: Like Konata, he has absolutely no shame about his otaku hobbies and interests. He's especially proud of having watched every single ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' series since the franchise first started.
497* YoungerThanHeLooks: Even as a teenager he looked way older than Kanata, who turns out to be a bit ''older'' than him.
498* WholeEpisodeFlashback: The latter half of episode 22, when he recalled his life with his late wife Kanata.

525
526The eldest of the Hiiragi sisters.
527----
528 * MeaningfulName: The four Hiiragi sisters all have ThemeNaming going on with reference to the Shinto Religion. In Inori's case, her name literally means "prayer" in the sense of "an entreaty to the gods".
529* {{Miko}}: She works as a part-time miko along with her sisters. In episode 2, it's mentioned that she was helping her father with a ground-breaking ceremony.
530* TheMomVoice: When Matsuri, Kagami and Tsukasa's older sister, unfairly tears into the twins for not picking up some ingredients she wanted for dinner, Kagami storms out of the house to grab the stuff. The eldest sister, Inori, looks at Matsuri and pulls a "Mom" voice, scolding the middle child by saying, "Well, you could have handled that better!" Matsuri can only shamefully agree.

540* MeaningfulName: The four Hiiragi sisters all have ThemeNaming going on with reference to the Shinto Religion. In Matsuri's case, her name refers to festivals, many of which were originally celebrated in honor of Shinto kami.

546->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TomokazuSeki (JP) and Creator/LexLang (EN)
547
548An anime-only character, he is the manager of the Animate store Konata frequents. He reveres Konata as "Legendary Girl A", and frequently tries (and fails) to get her to buy merchandise from his store.
549
550He is actually the mascot for the Animate chain as ''Captain Animate'', created by Shimamoto Kazuhiko in the late 90s; but the one who made him known in Japan was none other than Creator/HideakiAnno who directed a short OriginalVideoAnimation for the character, a Radio Show was also made. Anisawa was made to help boost the sales and pick interest of the general public into buying anime merchandise, not just for Animate stores.
551----
552* AssKickingPose: Episode 12, when he lectured a salesman about the value of leftover merchandise.
553* BerserkButton: Never insult anime merchandise featuring side characters or [[SeriousBusiness he will punch you in the face]].
554* CrossOver: Anisawa actually predates ''Lucky Star''; he was Animate's mascot for some time before, and thus his appearances in the anime count as this. While he's best remembered for being in ''Lucky Star'', he's gone on to make cameos in other works as well:
555** He made a cameo appearance in the first season of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''.
556** He also has a cameo in ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten Disgaea 4]]'' of all places.
557** As well as during the credits for ''[[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers Hetalia]] World Series: Fantasia''.
558* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Trying to get "Legendary Girl A" to buy ''one thing'' proves about as successful as [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Wile E. Coyote getting the Road Runner to stand still, let alone eat it]].
559* HotBlooded: To a ridiculous extent, though [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam it's not hard to imagine why.]] His every appearance is typically accompanied by spontaneous combustion.
560%%* HotbloodedSideburns
561* LargeHam: He takes his job ''really'' seriously, especially when Legendary Girl A (Konata) is involved.
562* ManlyTears: When he ''finally'' gets Konata to pick up an item, he sheds these. [[YankTheDogsChain Then he lets out]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3-4_NgXwF0 the best scream ever]] when she puts it back.
563* MundaneMadeAwesome: ''Every'' attempt at selling something to "Legendary Girl A" (AKA Konata).
564* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Since he was created long before ''Lucky Star'' existed, he and his store's staff are all drawn in Kazuhiko Shimamoto's art style and have a different color palette from the rest of the characters.
565* ProductPlacement: He's not a character original to the series, but the mascot of Animate, a chain of stores selling anime and manga-related goods. The Animate chain does have commercial links with this series, judging from the existence of some of its strips from its in-store magazine.
566* PunnyName: His real name in Japanese order is Anisawa Meito. Take the first part of his family name and his given name, put it together and you get ''Animeito'', as in Animate, the chain of stores he's the mascot for.
567* ShoutOut: In one episode, he pulls a freaking ''[[Anime/CodeGeass Geass]]'' from out of nowhere. ''[[CompellingVoice Lelouch's Geass.]]'' He uses it on Konata to get her to ''finally'' buy something in his store... only for it to turn out that she doesn't have enough money.
568* {{Transplant}}: He isn't from the manga nor original to the anime, and in fact predates the series as a whole.

577-----
578* BewareTheNiceOnes: In the Volume 2 [[BonusMaterial Omake]], a "WhatIf Soujiro was Miyuki's father" strip showed Yukari sneaking up on him with a hammer and a very disturbing expression after he fondled Miyuki...
579* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She once talked with a telemarketer for over an hour. Out of boredom.
580* CuteClumsyGirl: Like mother, like daughter.
581* TheDitz: Perhaps even more than Tsukasa: the {{manga}}'s character sketch for Yukari stated that she was "good at nothing," whereas Tsukasa at least is an excellent cook.
582* EyesAlwaysShut: Default expression.
583* MumLooksLikeASister: Due to her looking just as adorable as her daughter, they are often mistaken for sisters. More often than not mistaken for Miyuki's ''little sister''.

585* RoseHairedSweetie: Just as sweet as her daughter.

600Konata's late mother, whom Konata [[StrongFamilyResemblance inherited most of her looks from]]. Despite a bit wary about Soujirou's {{comedic lolicon}} tendencies, she still considers him to be actually caring for her -- [[CassandraTruth something nobody else will associate with Soujirou]].
601-----
602* AscendedExtra: Although we know her name and how she looked by Volume 2 of the {{manga}}, she was only substantially characterized in the {{anime}}.
603* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She and Soujirou were childhood friends.
604* CuteGhostGirl: Any of her present-day appearances has her as this or as an angel.
605* DelicateAndSickly: According to Sojirou, Kanata was a very weak person when she was alive, much like her niece Yutaka. She passed away from an unknown illness when Konata was still very young.
606* DiedHappilyEverAfter: She is revealed to occasionally return as a ghost to check on her family with her presence being for the most unknown.
607* FunSize: Konata inherited her tiny height, much to her dismay.
608* GirlyGirl: During her lifetime, she was shown wearing feminine dresses, gets interested in cooking for her husband and wanting to become a mother.
609* HappilyMarried: Despite their differences, she had a nice relationship with Soujiro until she passed away.
610* HeightAngst: It's implied that she had this during her lifetime, since during a flashback to when Konata was born, she openly states to Soujiro that she doesn't want Konata to inherit her short height.
611* {{Housewife}}: Acted as a one when she was alive and became independent with her partner, cooking for Soujiro and doing the chores of the house while he was working writing his novels on a computer.
612* MumLooksLikeASister: The Hiiragi twins mistook one of her photo's appearances, believing she was a younger Konata.
613* NoAccountingForTaste: At least Konata thought so in choosing her father.
614* OlderThanTheyLook: Something Konata inherited from her; she's always looked very youthful, to the point that when Kagami sees an old photo of Kanata with Soujirou, she mistakes Kanata for her own daughter. She's one reason Konata starts to wonder if Soujirou is a {{comedic lolicon}}. Ironically, she turns out to be slightly ''older'' than Soujirou.
615* PosthumousCharacter: She passed away long before the story takes place, though her spirit appears in one episode.
616* PunnyName: Kanata means "there". Now think about the translation of her ImageSong.
617* SpookyPhotographs: She unintentionally caused one of these while trying to get a family picture with her husband and daughter. The sight of her ghostly figure in the photo causes Konata and Soujirou to freak out.
618* StrongFamilyResemblance: It's pretty obvious where Konata got her looks from. Kagami actually mistook an old photo of her for Konata.

665
666The elder of an impoverished pair of sisters. She is the reason for their poverty, as she spends too much money on manga and {{doujinshi}}--while just working as a bookstore staff.
667-----
668* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: In contrast to her younger sister Hikage, who's very aware of their issues with money and tries to save as much as possible, Hinata keeps blowing her paycheck on otaku merchandise.
669* MeaningfulName: Her name means "in the sun". Her sister's name means "shade".
670* MoneyDumb: She frequently spends her paycheck on otaku merchandise instead of more essential things, which is the main reason why she and her sister are in poverty.
671* NerdGlasses: Wears a small pair of glasses, and she's largely defined by being a huge {{otaku}}.
672* {{Otaku}}: She works at an Animate store, and she's already a huge fan of anime, manga and games. Unfortunately, she has poor impulse control when it comes to buying otaku merchandise, which is why she and her sister struggle with poverty.
673%%* ParentalAbandonment
674* PerpetualPoverty: On account of her excessive manga/doujinshi binges.
675* PromotionToParent: It's unknown why their parents aren't around anymore, but she's the main parental figure towards Hikage as well as the breadwinner. That said, while she's doting to Hikage, she's ''not'' the most financially responsible person around.

682
683The younger of an impoverished pair of sisters. An elementary schooler, and thus the youngest ''Lucky Star'' character.
684-----
685* BerserkButton:
686** She hates when Hinata spends money on frivolous things, as it deprives her to buy food.
687** People mass-buying affordable food due to it suddenly trending, as it deprives her of one of the only ways she can consume food daily. When the bean sprouts became unavailable due to a TV special advertising them as being good for the health, she got mad at her own teacher [[InnocentlyInsensitive due to him telling her that he recently ate some with pork belly after being influenced by the special.]]
688* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: In contrast to her older sister, who has poor impulse control when it comes to buying anime merchandise, Hikage is often seen up giving up her material desires and making an effort to manage the economics of the apartment they're living.
689* GaveUpTooSoon: When playing lottery, Hikage tries to play different numbers instead of the ones she usually is allowed to play, or is forced to give it up due to her lack of funds. Unfortunately for her, those numbers are winning ones.
690* MatureYoungerSibling: She is a nine-year-old girl who is economically responsible and avoids wasting money by giving up her desires to survive in poverty in contrast to her older sister, an otaku girl who spends the majority of her paycheck in otaku stuff and is the main reason why the duo is struggling in poverty.
691* MeaningfulName: Her name means "shade". Her sister's name means "in the sun".

694* PerpetualPoverty: On account of her older sister's excessive manga/doujinshi binges.

The first time she tried a burger, she attempted to take advantage of a promotion by claiming it wasn't delicious and get a refund, but found herself unable to lie due to finding the burger very delicious.
696* TokenMiniMoe: There's Yutaka, but as a grade-schooler she's the youngest character in the series.

737
738An IdolSinger in the ''Lucky Star'' universe and "navigator" of ''Lucky Channel''. She's fourteen -- younger than most of the cast -- but has eleven years of acting experience. In ''Comptiq'', she's the face of the magazine's reader column, where her name would be used to reply to readers' mail.
739----
740* AdaptationalJerkass: Akira is ''not'' a BitchInSheepsClothing (or at least not nearly as much) in the original manga, but the anime portrays her as a cynical jerk with hardly any redeeming qualities besides her cute looks.
741%%* AnimatedActor: Her rant in Episode 6's Lucky Channel.
742* BerserkButton: Anything that threatens to steal her spotlight or jeopardize her popularity as an idol can easily set her off.
743* BitchInSheepsClothing: She puts on an act of being happy and adorable for her fans, but she's really a cynical {{Jerkass}}.
744* CharacterExaggeration: The beginning of the anime centers her more on the joke of being an adolescent WhiteDwarfStarlet (that is, the humor of a cute 14-year-old idol acting like a [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight jaded veteran of the industry]]), and so while she's still surly she tends to be rather calm and subdued. At first her segments are more centered on her giving jaded, resigned rants about her career (and the occasional good, if bitter, advice) while Minoru looks on in confusion, rather than outright hostility. However, the ComedicSociopathy in her relationship with Minoru quickly takes over the segment, and she becomes increasingly explosive and cruel until her tendency to snap on a moment's notice become the segment's primary joke. It's implied that she becomes more temperamental because she's [[GreenEyedMonster jealous of Minoru getting more appearances in the main show than her]].
745* CurseCutShort: In the dub of episode 16, she cuts ''herself'' off when she's about to swear during a furious rant but then immediately starts singing like she's supposed to.
746-->'''Akira''': I'M A PROFESSIONAL YOU FU-
747* CuteAndPsycho: She's adorable and she knows it, but her real personality is a cynical {{Jerkass}} and she eventually becomes outright abusive towards Shiraishi. It's a bad idea to piss her off, too, unless you really want her "psycho" side to come out.
748* CuteOversizedSleeves: She wears "cute" oversized sleeves as part of her DeliberatelyCuteChild persona, although she's really a total {{bitch|InSheepsClothing}} in the anime.
749* DeliberatelyCuteChild: She knows she's a cute young girl, and has been using that to her advantage to gain viewers ever since she was four.
750* DudeWheresMyRespect: At least, from her point of view. A RunningGag in ''Lucky Channel'' is her increasingly desperate desire to get a role in the main ''Lucky Star'' show, which she thinks she's entitled to because she's a popular idol. Every attempt fails, for which she's quick to blame the producers and Minoru (who gets more appearances than her), even though it's implied that the reason she gets no appearances is because nobody can stand her.
751* EvilSoundsDeep: While calling her "evil" may be a stretch, she's easily the meanest character in the anime. She [[TheFakeCutie pretends to be a cute, cheerful girl with a high-pitched voice]] for her fans, but as soon as something angers her, she reverts to her borderline psychotic, abusive real self with a husky contralto. This is implied to be an effect of her chain-smoking (yes, at the tender age of ''fourteen''), as in a blink-or-you'll-miss-it moment, she chucks an ashtray full of cigarette butts at Minoru's head.
752* TheFakeCutie: Appearance-wise, she's adorable and is good at acting the part, but this is all a calculated act to gain fans and she's really more of a [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight cynical, dried-up entertainer]] who takes out her frustrations on Shiraishi.
753* FinancialAbuse: Implied in the anime. She did mention that her mother did have some ''very'' nice purses, some of which weren't there the previous day...
754* GenkiGirl: Subverted; she often acts cheerful and full of energy, but it's just part of her on-screen persona. Her real personality is much more surly and cynical, though she's also prone to angry outbursts if her {{Berserk Button}}s are pushed.
755* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Or at least {{Jerkass}} Eyes. She has big, round TaremeEyes when she's putting on her cutesy GenkiGirl act, but her eyes become smaller and beadier when she's showing her true personality as a cynical jerk. She has a tendency to switch back and forth several times in a given episode.
756* GreenEyedMonster: As the anime goes on, Shiraishi gets more and more lines and appearances in the main show. This frustrates Akira to no end since she can never get any actual appearances on the show herself, so she takes out her anger on Shiraishi more often.
757* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Her real personality in the anime; [[TheFakeCutie beneath her cute facade]], she has the attitude of a dried-up entertainer who's very cynical about her job and show business in general. Despite her cynicism, she still loves the attention she gets as an idol and admits that she wouldn't be where she is today without her otaku fanbase.
758%%* IdiotHair: It wouldn't be smart to call her an idiot, though.
759* IdolSinger: She's a professional idol, though [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything we don't see her do any idol work]] aside from her "live concert" in episode 16 (which is really just her singing karaoke, much to her chagrin). Her [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight cynical]] and [[BitchInSheepsClothing two-faced]] personality is likely a TakeThat to how an idol's popularity is constantly threatened by the next cutest thing on the block.
760* ImprobableAge: Repeat: she's a ''fourteen''-year old IdolSinger with ''eleven'' years of experience in the media.
761* ItsAllAboutMe: In the anime, she really only cares about herself and her career. Even her advice towards Shiraishi in early episodes comes off more as her rubbing in how much more experienced she is in the entertainment industry, rather than actually trying to help him.
762%%* {{Kawaiiko}}: Her "on-screen" personality.
763* LaserGuidedKarma: One of the punchlines in her aforementioned quest to get a role on ''Lucky Star''. The one time she ''does'' get a planned appearance, the episode before has her acting even nastier than usual to Minoru in an attempt to rub it in his face. The next episode reveals that she inexplicably caught the flu right before the show and didn't appear in person (as usual), and to add insult to injury they easily replaced her with a cardboard standee.
764* MoodSwinger: Played with. Her actual mood doesn't really change, but Akira's insanely good at going into character the moment she needs to: [[TheFakeCutie she can snap into the cutesy idol act]] ''instantly,'' no matter what she was doing or whether she was in the middle of a furious rant a literal split second earlier. Her sheer unpredictability--even if she's just acting--makes for her biggest RunningGag.
765* NiceCharacterMeanActor: This should be obvious considering how she's also a BitchInSheepsClothing and TheFakeCutie; when hosting the ''Lucky Channel'' segments, she acts like an adorable GenkiGirl who's very enthusiastic about greeting the audience, but in reality she's a {{Jerkass}} who's [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight very cynical about her job]].
766* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: She's supposedly an IdolSinger and talks quite a bit about her career, but she's never actually seen doing any of it. In the anime, she doesn't even get to actually perform onscreen aside from singing karaoke in episode 16, which was all the staff of ''Lucky Channel'' could afford. In the last episode she finally gets a chance to perform in the main show, only for Shiraishi to [[TheDogBitesBack cut her off since it was just a "mic check"]].
767* PlayfulCatSmile: She has one whenever she's playing up her adorable GenkiGirl persona, but it disappears when she shows her true colours.
768* ProfessionalVoiceDissonance: In the anime, she affects a cute, high-pitched voice when hosting the [[ShowWithinAShow Lucky Channel]] segments, which is meant to sell her image as a cutesy IdolSinger. Whenever she gets annoyed or angry, however, she breaks character and starts speaking in a husky contralto, showing how she's really a BitchInSheepsClothing who's [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight very cynical about the entertainment industry despite loving the attention she gets]].
769* PsychoPink: PlayedForLaughs, as she's a pink-haired BitchInSheepsClothing who shows her true colors (no pun intended) whenever something angers or annoys her.
770* RoseHairedSweetie: Subverted; she has pink hair and seems to fit the "cheery and optimistic" subtype at first, but her real personality isn't sweet at all.
771%%* {{Tsundere}}: Inverted. May seem Type B, but actually a rare Type A who fakes kindness.
772* WhiteDwarfStarlet: In the {{anime}}, it's strongly implied that she's on the brink of being a has-been; in the {{manga}} universe she's still at the peak of her career.

779Creator/MinoruShiraishi is not only an actor, voice actor, singer, songwriter and radio personality in real life, but an anime-exclusive character with two roles: a random student in Konata's class, and Akira's henpecked assistant in ''Lucky Channel''.
780----
781* AscendedMeme: "Wa-wa-wa-wasuremono~" Upgraded to an ending in Episode 13, and a full song when the album came out.
782* BeleagueredAssistant: He's meant to be Akira's assistant in hosting ''Lucky Channel'', but many of the ''Lucky Channel'' segments consist of him being berated and belittled by Akira, who [[TheFakeCutie drops her cute facade]] whenever he accidentally says something that annoys her.
783* BewareTheNiceOnes: He earnestly tries to do his best as Akira's assistant on the show and takes an astounding nineteen episodes' worth of physical and emotional abuse from her, but when he finally snaps, [[TheDogBitesBack the results are epic]].
784* ButtMonkey: The poor guy gets a lot of abuse from Akira, to the point that he eventually reaches his RageBreakingPoint following the Mount Fuji incident.
785* CanonForeigner: He's a character who's exclusive to the anime adaptation, which isn't surprising considering how he's meant to be an animated version of his voice actor.
786* CharacterAsHimself: That's Minoru Shiraishi playing Minoru Shiraishi.
787* DudeWheresMyRespect: He's abused pretty badly throughout the run of Lucky Channel, until he snaps...
788* TheDogBitesBack: [[https://youtu.be/eyOBr5tKvGw?t=230 His epic breakdown]] in Episode 21's ''Lucky Channel'' for being ditched at Mount Fuji back in episode 19, only for Akira to complain about the water he worked so hard to get for her.
789* EnsembleDarkhorse: InUniverse -- he notes how his popularity is beginning to far outstrip [[WhiteDwarfStarlet Akira's]]. In Episode 8's ''Lucky Channel'' he even boasts his own fan letters.
790* EyesAlwaysShut: His eyes are almost always closed. They only open when he's surprised, and when he finally [[RageBreakingPoint snaps]] in episode 21. He also opens them a few times in the final episode, where his eyes suddenly become green.
791* ImageSong: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wfdCE3Obcg Koi no Minoru Densetsu]]", which is a parody of "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu" from ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya''.
792* InUniverseNickname: In the main show, Konata nicknames him "Sebastian" as a reference to ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs''.
793* InkSuitActor: The resemblance between [[TheDanza Minoru]] and [[Creator/MinoruShiraishi Minoru]] is quite notable.
794* RageBreakingPoint: He puts up with 19 straight episodes of abuse from Akira until the Mount Fuji incident. After being forced to get water for Akira with the producer and director's help, he's left for dead by them all and replaced [[SomethingWeForgot until he suddenly comes back with water in hand all by himself]]. [[YankTheDogsChain She proceeds to spit it out and complain how it's too warm]], and it's only then when he ''finally'' snaps.
795* SomethingWeForgot: After being forced to go to Mount Fuji to get water with the producer and director in ep 19, episode 20 reveals that they ditched him and left him for dead, having replaced him with Daisuke Ono. He comes back worse for wear with the water that Akira asked for in episode 21, [[YankTheDogsChain who proceeds to spit it out and complain about it]]. [[BewareTheNiceOnes It's then when he finally snaps]].

801
802Creator/DaisukeOno is a voice actor and singer in real life. In episodes 20 and 21, he replaces Minoru as Akira's assistant in ''Lucky Channel''.
803----
804* ActorAllusion: In this anime, he looks and acts rather a lot like Itsuki Koizumi from ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', who he also voices.
805* AdamWesting: Since he was known for playing suave {{Bishonen}} characters at the time the anime aired (though he's branched out more since then), he voices a version of himself who's over-exaggeratedly pretty and constantly carries a rose around. He's also rather dismissive of Shiraishi due to being a more successful voice actor than the latter.
806* InkSuitActor: Like Shiraishi, the similarities between [[TheDanza Daisuke]] and [[Creator/DaisukeOno Daisuke]] is undeniable.
807* SomethingAboutARose: He carries a rose around for no apparent reason.

817%%* BadassBiker: A nod to her real-life enthusiasm for biker culture.
