[[folder:Makoto Konno]]
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makoto_3.png]]
->Voiced by: Riisa Naka (JP), Emily Hirst (EN), Jocelyn Robles (LA), Creator/PatriziaMottola (IT)

Makoto is a regular high school student who spends her time playing baseball with her two best friends, Chiaki and Kousuke. She hopes to be friends with them forever and to stay like this, but after almost getting killed in a train crossing accident, Makoto develops an ability to "time leap." She initially uses it for her personal benefit, but as Makoto realizes the extent of the past she is changing and how it affects others, she must try to fix the error of her ways before any permanent--or even ''fatal''--wrongs occur.
----
* BookDumb: One of her self-proclaimed "unlucky" moments consists of failing a test. So, naturally one of the things she time leaps for is to ace said test.
* BoyishShortHair: Has much shorter hair than the rest of the female cast and she’s very athletic.
* CannotSpitItOut: Her feelings for Chiaki. [[spoiler:She manages to tell Yuri, but never has the chance to tell Chiaki himself.]]
* CelibateHeroine: Makoto is generally not interested in dating or romance... at least at first.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Black hair and black eyes.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She tends to trip and fall. She tries to fix her mistakes as best as possible.
* DidNotGetTheGuy: [[spoiler:While Makoto knows of Chiaki's feelings for her and eventually reciprocates these feelings, it is likely too late for them to get together because we don't know how far in the future Chiaki's era is, or if Makoto can reach him through waiting for his time or using another time-related device.]]
* DudeMagnet: Both [[FieryRedhead Chiaki]] and [[NiceGuy Kousuke]] had feelings for her. [[spoiler:For the former, she returns his feelings, but doesn't know of the latter's and he ends up with someone else.]]
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The {{UST}} between her and Chiaki.
* GenerationXerox: It's implied in the movie and confirmed in the manga that [[spoiler:her aunt is Kazuko Yoshiyama, who like Makoto gained the ability to time leap when she was younger and fell in love with a man who came from the future.]]
* GenkiGirl: She’s a very excitable girl. When she discovers the ability to time travel, she’s more than happy to use it.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: Makoto slowly realizes her feelings for Chiaki [[spoiler:once Chiaki starts dating Yuri]].
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: Her reason for avoiding Chiaki's feelings. It goes poorly for her, as her avoidance ends up damaging their friendship even worse and eventually causes Chiaki to [[spoiler:turn his attention toward Yuri instead]].
* InelegantBlubbering: It may be a little {{Narm}}y, but it doubles as a {{Tearjerker}} because every time Makoto cries, there's a heartbreaking reason for it.
* IWillFindYou: [[spoiler:When Chiaki tells he will wait for her in the future, Makoto responds "I won't be long... I'll come running."]]
* JustFriends: This is how she sees Chiaki and Kousuke [[spoiler:until she realizes her feelings for Chiaki]].
* LargeHam: If she’s excited, she gets loud.
* LateForSchool: A usual habit of hers, that is constantly lampshaded by Kousuke.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Makoto ends up confusing the hell out of poor Chiaki, partly thanks to her lack of understanding of her own feelings for him, and in large part thanks to her use of time-leaping to undo his attempt to ask her out, after which she begins avoiding him even though from his perspective he hasn't ''done'' anything.
* TheMatchmaker: Manages to match-make Kousuke and Kaho together [[spoiler:though it takes a while for her, from getting them to have a MeetCute moment to attempting to prevent their deaths when they are killed by a train crossing accident]].
* MistakenForSuicidal: Makoto tries to test her new time leaping power by jumping out of the window of her bedroom. Her little sister happens to see her, freaks out thinking Makoto is trying to kill herself and desperately stops her from jumping.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Many of Makoto's time leaps are for her own personal gain, and the changes she creates in the time line begin to have an effect with her relationships with Chiaki and Kousuke--''especially'' Chiaki. Not to mention affecting the sanity of one of her classmates.
* ObliviousToLove: Claims to only see Chiaki and Kousuke as friends, is blindsided when Chiaki asks her out, and seems unaware of any feelings Kousuke has for her--not to mention being slow to realize her own feelings for Chiaki.
* OneOfTheBoys: She hangs out more with her male best friends, Chiaki and Kousuke than her female friends.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: At least at first and to most of her peers, she’s this.
* PoorCommunicationKills: And Makoto has to learn this the hard way.
* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:With Chiaki.]]
* TaremeEyes: It shows her innocence in a sense.
%%* ThrowTheDogABone
* TimeTravelRomance: [[spoiler:With Chiaki.]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Makoto is the Tomboy to Yuri's Girly Girl.
* {{Tsundere}}: PlayedForDrama. After she finds out about Chiaki's feelings for her, Makoto refuses to face her own feelings and starts giving him the silent treatment, avoiding him and yelling at him when he gets close to her. At the end, this only makes her regret not being honest about her feelings because [[spoiler:not only Chiaki ends up dating someone else, but he has to go back to his own era before they can get together]].
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Chiaki.

[[folder:Chiaki Mamiya]]
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chiaki_18155833_249_356.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Takuya Ishida (JP), Creator/AndrewFrancis (EN), Miguel Ángel Ruiz (LA)

One of Makoto's two best friends. Chiaki is easygoing and laidback. He transferred to Makoto's school in the spring and quickly became fast friends with Makoto and Kousuke, forming a steadfast trio between the three. Chiaki has feelings for Makoto.
----
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: From defending Makoto from insults to [[spoiler:stepping into the way so she won't get hit by a fire extinguisher]] to [[spoiler:using his final remaining time leap so she isn't crying in pain (and so Kousuke and Kaho won't die from a train crossing accident).]]
* BookDumb: Not the brightest bulb. [[spoiler: Or so it seems.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Kousuke's Brains.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:At the end of the movie, he has to go back to the future because he let someone from the past know about time-leaping.]]
* CannotSpitItOut: He has a hard time admitting his feelings for Makoto. [[spoiler:He tries valiantly, but Makoto keeps time-leaping to prevent him from succeeding.]]
* {{Delinquent}}: Showed signs of this from his confrontation with Takase and in a flashback, where it is shown he got into a fight.
* DoggedNiceGuy: He asks Makoto out early in the film, but Makoto uses time-leaping to avoid it several times. Even though Chiaki has no idea why Makoto suddenly is avoiding him, he does everything he can to get close to her.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The {{UST}} between him and Makoto.
* FieryRedhead: A redheaded young man that tends to get hyper quick.
* FirstNameBasis: In a flashback of when Chiaki transfers into Makoto's class and the friendship between Makoto, Chiaki, and Kousuke develops, Kousuke lampshades it when Chiaki first calls Makoto by her first name. This is interesting because [[spoiler:when Chiaki starts to date Yuri, he still calls her "Hayakawa-san", unlike Yuri, who calls Chiaki, "Chiaki-kun". He only calls Yuri "Yuri-chan" once while talking about going to a nighters game with her to Makoto and Kousuke, though it was more to tease Makoto than really changing to FirstNameBasis.]] Makoto seems to be the only girl Chiaki is really informal with, though the reason as to why is quite obvious.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:He admits that he is fascinated with the current era, because in the future he comes from there are not so wonderful things like rivers, a blue sky, so many people in one place and baseball.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Kousuke.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Chiaki uses his final remaining time leap to prevent the deaths of Kousuke and Kaho at the train crossing and so Makoto isn't in pain trying to stop them, knowing full well that by doing so will cause him to disappear.]]
* HotBlooded: He’s very quick to the point and gets annoyed pretty easily.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: He may call Makoto an idiot all the time, but if anyone else calls her that Chiaki won't forgive them. When Makoto calls him out on it, Chiaki says he calls her an idiot as an InsultOfEndearment.
* IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler:Before he goes back to his own era, he tells Makoto he will be waiting for her in the future.]]
* LateForSchool: A bit of a RunningGag in the movie.
* MaliciousSlander: [[spoiler:After Chiaki "transfers" out of school (unknowing to everyone else but Makoto as to why), many nasty rumors start about why he left.]]
* NewTransferStudent: Transferred into Makoto's class in the spring.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: At first, he only seems like Makoto's laidback and not so smart friend, but [[spoiler:turns out he knew everything about time-leaping and figured out Makoto was doing it on his own.]]
* ObliviousToLove: Initially oblivious to Yuri's feelings for him [[spoiler:and by the end of the film is still oblivious to her feelings because of the recent time leaps]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Kousuke's Blue Oni.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Chiaki is from the future and the original user of the device that allowed Makoto to time leap. He came from an era where some kind of catastrophe may have decimated mankind, and the only reason Chiaki came to Makoto's time is to see a painting that was destroyed in his era and is currently being restored in hers. However, as time grew on, Chiaki began to love the present time in spite of the dwindling moments he had of remaining there.]]
* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:With Makoto.]]
* TimeTravelRomance: [[spoiler:With Makoto.]]
* TomatoSurprise: [[spoiler:Chiaki is a time traveler from the future.]]
* TroubledButCute: [[spoiler: Has a boatload of issues, but he’s still fairly nice.]]
* TsurimeEyes: Has these as opposed to Makoto’s Tareme to foreshadow [[spoiler: that he’s much more knowledgeable than he lets on.]]
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Makoto.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Gender-flipped. While they're not a couple, but you DO NOT want to insult Makoto in front of Chiaki.

[[folder:Kousuke Tsuda]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kosuke_infobox.png]]
->Voiced by: Mitsutaka Itakura (JP), Creator/AlexZahara (EN), Héctor Rocha (LA)

One of Makoto's two best friends. Kousuke is smart and level-headed. He is the voice of reason between the three friends. Kousuke wants to go into a medical profession and constantly thinks about studying, but finds time to play baseball and hang out with Makoto and Chiaki.
----
* BetaCouple: With Kaho.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Chiaki's Brawn.
* CrashIntoHello: With Kaho.
* {{Foil}}: To Chiaki.
* NiceGuy: Kousuke is the most mature and sensitive of his friends.
* ObliviousToLove: Is (probably) partly oblivious to his ''own'' subtle feelings for Makoto, and initially oblivious to Kaho's feelings for him.
%%* PowerTrio: With Chiaki and Makoto.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Chiaki's Red Oni.

[[folder:Yuri Hayakawa]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/The_Girl_who_Leapt_Through_Time_200_8519.jpg]]

----
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Matching light brown eyes and hair.
* DoggedNiceGirl: She has feelings for Chiaki and tries to get him to love her back.
* HopelessSuitor: She subtly has feelings for Chiaki, but he doesn't really notice her [[spoiler:until Makoto starts avoiding Chiaki following several time leaps to avoid him asking her out. Because of this, Chiaki goes out with Yuri instead. But when the timeline is brought back to the beginning of the film, Makoto finally makes it known to Yuri of her own feelings for Chiaki, and Yuri--having already suspected it--understands.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Yuri is well aware that Chiaki is more interested in Makoto and that Makoto's feelings for him probably run deeper than Makoto herself realizes, and she's clearly reluctant to get in the way of the happiness of both her friend and the guy that she likes. It's only when Makoto begins avoiding Chiaki that Yuri ends up pursuing her own interest in him, and at the end of the film she gracefully accepts it when Makoto admits that she does in fact like Chiaki.]]
* RomanticFalseLead: Arguably.
* TaremeEyes: She has these like Makoto.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Yuri is the Girly Girl to Makoto's Tomboy.

[[folder:Auntie Witch]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap-6077860_7675.png]]
->Voiced by: Sachie Hara (JP), Creator/SaffronHenderson (EN)

Makoto's aunt, who Makoto tends to call "Auntie Witch." She is currently restoring a painting at the museum. Makoto often goes to her aunt for advice on time leaping.
----
* AlternateCharacterReading: Her name is a pun for the Japanese word "majo," which means "witch." (The English localization simply has her called "Auntie Witch" without explanation, since the pun doesn't easily translate.)
* CloserToEarth: In contrast to Makoto, she’s this.
* CoolAunt: To Makoto.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Like her niece, she has matching dark brown hair and eyes.
* MaidenAunt: She has yet to get married.
* MentorArchetype: To Makoto. She understands time leaping and knows so much about it because [[spoiler:she also had the ability to time leap when she was Makoto's age and is implied to be Kazuko Yoshiyama, the protagonist of the novel ''The Girl Who Leapt Through Time'' was adapted from.]]
* TheOneThatGotAway: When she was in high school she fell in love with a man, but he had to go away promising to return to her someday. Years passed and he never returned. She tells Makoto to not be like her and go find her beloved.
* TaremeEyes: Just like her niece, she has this to show her kindness and advice.
