Chitose Hitotose
Chitose Hitotose
Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (Japanese), Josh Meyer (English)
- Chick Magnet: Basically any female that he meets is bound to fall in love with him at some point.
- Childhood Friend: To Kanna.
- Conveniently an Orphan: His orphan-ness kicks of the entire premise of the plot.
- Delinquent: In the backstory, stage two of the premise of the plot.
- Ear Cleaning: During a "best mother" competition, Chitose endures a particularly horrifying version when Kisaragi straps him down to a table and tests his pain tolerance, resulting in a punctured ear drum when she goes too far.
- Exiled to the Couch: Non-couple example: Chitose has to sleep on the couch because all the mothers occupy all the bedrooms and, apparently, each wanting their own rooms.
- Hikiko Mori: Chitose starts out as this.
- Kids Are Cruel: In the beginning of the series, there were two guys who were making fun of him because he has no parents. Real classy. Unfortunately for them, they were Bullying a Dragon since Chitose is very good at fighting, as seen when he beats up the two guys.
- Loony Friends Improve Your Personality: The plot kicks off when Chitose's teachers decide that what he really needs are five mothers running his life. He discovers, much to everyone's surprise, that he does become a more well-adjusted person because of them.
- Made of Iron: He appears to be OK even after being subjected to various physical abuse, and can apparently hold back Nagatsuki (by dodging her attacks and tiring her out) even though he doesn't seem to know any martial arts.
- Marshmallow Hell: Satsuki's favorite submission hold, her technique she made spending time with Chitose, "The Booby Trap". It's a headlock with the victim facing away from the perpetrator while lodged firmly in the cleavage. Later copied by Kisaragi in episode 11 of the tv series.
- Not Blood Siblings: With Minazuki and Hazuki.
- Oblivious to Love: He's quite oblivious to Fumitsuki's deep crush on him.
- Ordinary High-School Student: More or less.
- Parental Abandonment: Both his parents are dead.
- Pretty Freeloader: Subverted. The mothers actively help with the house chores and cooking, have jobs and apparently pay the food bill. So, really, Chitose is the freeloader (but as pointed out early in the first TV season, he does actually own the house).
- The Rival: To Nagatsuki.
- Unwanted Harem: Deconstructed and subverted, as all the mothers aren't actually vying for the lead's love except Mutsuki, as it turns out so much as them making him a good person (see Delinquent). His sisters keep a strictly brother-sister relationship. Nagatsuki is more of The Rival than anything. Really, the only person that's actively out for his attention is Fumitsuki and Kanna (who barely counts due to being as socially inept as Sousuke Sagara).
- And then, it's all played straight in the very final episode, at the end of Season 3, when all five of his mothers unanimously decide that now that he's already fully-grown, what he now needs are not mothers, but wives. Cue instant Marry Them All via Relationship Upgrade as they all instantaneously change into bridal gowns and marry him together on the spot.
- We Want Our Jerk Back!: In one episode, Chitose gets fed up with his "mothers'" shenanigans and kicks them out of his house, but then realizes that he is reverting to his old habits; by the end, he relents and returns the copies of his house keys that he'd confiscated.

Hazuki is a sub-instructor of this style who has achieved the top level and the title of Obakyu. (Ep. 4) Based on the costume that seems to come with this title, (seen in Chitose's flashback.) this may be a cameo reference to Little Ghost Q-Taro.
