History Characters / TokimekiMemorial1

%%* {{Bokukko}}

* NintendoHard: Renowned for being the hardest character in the entire series to get the ending of. Especially notable in the Super Famicom version of the original game because love is not enough. You can get all love events with her and she still won't take you if your stats aren't good enough. This point has became a SeriousBusiness for Creator/{{Konami}}, who went as far as the [[http://www.courts.go.jp/hanrei/pdf/js_20100319120634660117.pdf Supreme Court of Japan]] to obtain an injunction against a company that sold save files to allow the player to ''most certainly'' to get Shiori.

* {{Bishonen}}: Her big brother Jim is one. He could also qualify for a DudeLooksLikeALady.

A 1st-year student at Kirameki High, member of the Soccer Club. [[TheAce Is a talented forward and considered a genius]], his talent allows him to get a place among the regulars, to the detriment of the protagonist who’s rather pissed off (part because the protagonist worked hard to get his place and [[DudeWheresMyRespect hasn’t seen his efforts recompensed]], part because Sawatari got through the SenpaiKohai logic). Has a thing for Minori Akiho, but she considers him merely as a classmate.

A [[SenpaiKohai Kohai]] of Minori by a year (meaning she's a Kohai by two years of Saki and the protagonist), she entered the club solely because she's in love with Kirameki soccer club ace Sawatari, and thus doesn't enjoy at first the chores and responsibilities behind the job of club manager. However, thanks to Minori's patient guiding, she later develops a genuine interest in soccer and in her job as a manager.

%%* PeekaBangs

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Both her father and her brother speak Japanese with this accent. She herself suddenly speaks fluently and in this accent when she's in UnstoppableRage mode.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Ayako's seiyuu, Masayo Kawaguchi, has lived for years with her family in USA, so she knows English fairly well. There are a few instances where Ayako's English sentences sound strange, but overall she's fluent.

* OverprotectiveDad: To the point that, in battle mode, her special attack invokes her father, who proceeds to slice the enemies with [[KatanasAreJustBetter his katana]]. It's arguably the most damaging in the game. [[spoiler: Her ending mentions that the main character is a bit afraid and ill at ease with her father due to his over-protectiveness of her]].

[[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent A teenager with average abilities]], who managed somehow to enter the rather high-ranked Private High School Kirameki. He did this mainly because he’s in love with his enstranged childhood friend Shiori Fujisaki, and sets himself on a quest of improving himself so Shiori will think higher of him and thus win her heart and get her confession under the famed [[WorldTree Legendary Tree]], said to grant eternal love to couples bonding on Graduation Day through the love confession of the girl.

* GirlsHaveCooties: Part of [[StartOfDarkness the reason why he and Shiori became estranged]], according to ''Tabidachi no Uta'', is that [[spoiler: in their childhood, days after the main protagonist offered a ring to Shiori, she was so pleased with it and with his attention for her, she wanted to offer him a robot toy in return. Unfortunately, as she held out the present box to him, bad kids from the neighbourhood teased the main protagonist for playing with a girl, and embarrassed, he refused her present and hastily left, [[TearJerker leaving her alone all sad with her present in her arms.]]]]

* BuxomIsBetter: She's the bustiest character in the entire series, starting the game with 90 cm and ending it, three years later, with 93 cm. This, and her looks, help her gain her massive fanclub as well as her reputation in the school for being the most attractive girl along with Shiori, [[spoiler:further her RevengeOfTheNerd plan, and become a model after graduation]].

* BuxomIsBetter: Reaching 91 cm in 3rd year, she has the 3rd biggest cup size in the entire series, tied with ''Tokimeki Memorial 3'''s Mari Oda. For some players, this is part of her appeal.

* GorgeousGaijin: {{Moe}}, BuxomIsBetter, {{Eagleland}}er. Do the math.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:She delivers one of these to the protagonist when she's tired of him being [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to how much she loves him]].]]

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Her fear of water is ''extremely'' famous. She skips swimming lessons at school whenever possible, will panic if you force her to go swimming at the beach, and she has a hilarious BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine with resident swimming lover, Nozomi. However, unlike her {{Expy}} Lesley of '' [[VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight Mitsumete]] '' ''[[SpiritualSuccessor Knight]]'', the reasons behind this fear were never explained.

[[spoiler:Rei's actually a SecretCharacter and a girl. She pretends to be a boy, due to a family tradition.]]

* HugeSchoolgirl: [[spoiler:Forget Nozomi (163 cm) or even Mira (167 cm) and Patricia (168 cm), Rei is by far the tallest girl in the cast, with her 172 cm!]]

* LettingHerHairDown: Rei's hair is normally kept in a ponytail [[spoiler: to maintain her boyish look. She lets it down during her day of confession.]]

* SecretCharacter: [[spoiler:As it turns out, Rei is a girl, who actually has an ending of her own. Her ending is somehow simultaneously obscure, but also quite simple to achieve. You need to call her 70 times to unlock it.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:As one can probably plainly tell from the tropes and the spoilers, due to Rei being a girl crossdressing as a boy it becomes hard to dicuss anything about her character in any detail without giving away her true identity.]]

A classmate of the main protagonist. Just like Yoshio, Rei appears on the first day of school. Rei's the grandson of Kirameki High's school headmaster, and heir of the ultra-rich Ijuin Family, which runs lots of wealthy local and international businesses. Flamboyant, arrogant, and caustic, Rei never misses an opportunity to mock the protagonist and Yoshio. In contrast, Rei's ''extremely'' popular with the girls and [[AttentionWhore he’s fully aware of it]].

[[spoiler: Rei's actually a SecretCharacter and a girl.]]

* EasierThanEasy: [[spoiler:Rei is actually the easiest character to get the ending of in the original game. Just spam her with phone calls each weekend and you're good to go; you don't even have to work on your stats.]]

* SecretCharacter

* CuteSportsClubManager: Can become one if her starting parameters set her as a member of the Soccer or Base-Ball Clubs.

* CuteSportsClubManager: The DatingSim UrExample.

* NiceHat: She wears one in the “Kaze to isshoni yukou” Music Video, in ''Tokimeki Memorial Selection: Fujisaki Shiori''.

* NiceHat: Her Autumn date clothes include a nice cap.

* NiceHat: She wears a beret-like hat with her Autumn Date clothes.

* NiceHat: Wears two of them, on Spring and Winter.

* BlindingBangs: Due to being a Player Avatar. However, the Drama [=CDs=] illustrations (which are quite rare) show him with eyes and a full face.

* CuteAndPsycho: Not to the point of being murderous of course, this is ''[[TastesLikeDiabetes Tokimeki Memorial]]'' here.

* IllGirl: Two instances in the Classic Kirameki saga. The first is in the original game, if you choose to go with her on the school trip. [[spoiler: She falls ill on the third day and you must take care of her, so you get to skip out on the battle minigame that normally happen here]]. The second one occurs in ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', [[spoiler: after she waited all the day under the rain for the protagonist, believing that he would definitely come to the shrine, despite him wanting to give up soccer after the misunderstanding between them. He indeed came, and she slumped against him, down with a fever. The protagonist takes her to her home, and stays at her bedside for a while, where, in her delirium, she eventually starts ([[CannotSpitItOut but doesn't finish]]) confessing her feelings for him.]]

[[ShrinkingViolet A shy]] and gentle {{Meganekko}} bookworm girl [[IllGirl with a weak body]], suffering from anemia, and thus often passing out. Because of this, she can’t do sports (not like she likes sports to start with), or have violent emotions, and thus prefer going out to calm and peaceful places on dates.

%%* BespectacledCutie: In ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', she explains she became one because she loves books and read them since she was little, to the point that back then, at night, she often put herself under her blankets and used a lamptorch so she could fool her parents in believing she was sleeping and thus be able to continue reading.%%Needs to focus more on the glasses and her personality.
* CuteBookworm
* IllGirl: Who's prone to {{Fainting}}.

* TheGlassesGottaGo: In a date at the cinema, after she removed her glasses so she could wipe her teary eyes due to a romantic scene, you get the option to tell her she looks pretty without her glasses, which will prompt her to change to contacts at the end. This is optional though, as you can also tell her she's fine with them, and she'll wear them in the end.
