* TheLoad: All she does whenever she is on duty is either get scared and cry, get in trouble and have Kumi and Kasumi rescue her, or both.

* OneSidedRivalry: Over the course of the second half of the series, it becomes increasingly obvious that Kumi is fluctuating between protectiveness and a crush towards Yuri.

Masumoto doesn't know a thing about Kumi's feelings.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Hisakawa's intention was to use them as a tougher enemy to get the girls better adjusted to fighting aliens. What she got out of them was more than she expected; while two of them came out alright, Yuri only ended up more traumatized and killed all of the Party's Borgs.

* DamselInDistress: There's not a day that goes by where Yuri isn't helpless in some way. Whether she gets taken by aliens, people using aliens, or just plain attacked, there's always some trouble she'll need rescuing from.



* {{Deuteragonist}}: Yuri is cited as the lead heroine in ''Alien 9'', but it wouldn't be a stretch to say that Kumi shares that role too. Many plot points in both the main and extra chapters center around Kumi's growth as a person and the people she knows. Even her "actor" commented that the role of Kumi is meant to be support but has shades of a leading part.



* GotVolunteered: Yet another thing he shares with Yuri. There are two reasons why he decided to share the class president role with Kumi: because [[spoiler:he has a crush on her]], and because the class keeps voting him into the position and he's too shy to decline.
