** The specific anime, manga, and games she likes are obscure ones Satou (a game designer) doesn't recognize, but they're close enough to ones he knows he thinks she's just messing up the lyrics or references. [[spoiler: This is because she comes from a different Japan than Satou; they weren't obscure in her world, they were household names.]]

** [[spoiler: Technically speaking, Satou is a King from as early as Chapter 1, having inherited the King of the Dragon Valley position (and, in the Light Novel, the title) [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt after wiping out everything else around.]] This comes up later when interfacing with various City Cores, who innately recognize him as being royalty because of it. [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription However, he continues to insist that he's merely an "honorary knight" during those exchanges despite MULTIPLE City Cores addressing him as "O King of a Superior Territory."]] ]]

* YoungerThanTheyLook: He was a 14-year-old high school student transported into a 23-year-old body.

** [[spoiler: In Volume 20 of the LN, shortly after Hayato Masaki returns to Japan he meets [[AlternateSelf another version of Hikaru]], named "Kouhai Mitsumi," who identifies herself as Satou's [[ChildhoodFriends Childhood Friend]] who is native to Hayato's home Earth. Her personality is very similar to the Hikaru of the Fantasy world (including her use of "Hikaru" as a [[DoNotCallMePaul preferred name]] ), although there is a significant age difference between her and Hayato's world's version of Satou ("Kouhai Mitsumi" is in middle school, while Satou had disappeared some time ago during his time in college). Hayato later witnesses this version of Hikaru getting possessed by the Dragon God, who [[ItMakesSenseInContext instructs him to build a dog house]] ]].

* {{Salaryman}}: His original occupation on Earth was a Japanese Software Engineer working for a mobile gaming company. His polite, patient, businesslike manner is mistaken for proper nobility by most of the residents of the new world.
* SpiderSense: His [Crisis Perception] ability allows him to immediately detect a threat and [[SuperReflexes avoid]] it.

* SupremeChef: His Cooking LV.10 food is to die for, with nobles from various parts of the kingdom making sure to visit whenever he prepares the meals for certain events. It gets to the point that several fancy parties have Satou, arguably the highest ranking noble there, cooking for everyone else.

* DoesNotLikeMen: At first

%%* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: From which Satou learns the [Etiquette] skill
%%* {{Fangirl}}

Satou is an almost-30-year-old man who prefers [[BuxomBeautyStandard voluptuous older women]] who's transferred into the body of a teenager, and has a party consisting of mostly young and/or flat-chested girls. Hayato is a teenager who prefers young girls (although he'll accept flat-chests in lieu of lolis) who's transferred into the body of an older 20-something, and has a party consisting of buxom older women.

* BattleHarem: The girls he trains and travels with.

* KavorkaMan: While he's not ugly, he's often described as "not handsome" in other characters' POV chapters. Many of them still [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan fall for him anyway]].

* LikesOlderWomen: It can't be helped he likes women who are (a little) older than him since he's a 28 year-old man in his 15 year-old body. Especially when they have [[BuxomBeautyStandard larger breasts]].

-->'''Liza:''' "I do not intend to form a pair with someone weaker than me. Come back after you're at least able to defeat a greater demon."

* TheLancer: Satou's trusted vanguard party member and backup leader, alongside Nana (who is more of a tank). Bonus points for using a polearm as her main weapon.

* {{Ojou}}: Very much a wealthy, high class nobleman's daughter.

* LovableSexManiac: Well, she was a [[ChristmasCake virgin]] in her previous life, so she might as well find a partner (i.e. Satou) in her current one.

She ''refuses'' to accept this.

* ChristmasCake: Was an unmarried 40-something woman in her previous life.

* [[MrExposition Ms. Expositon]]: Being from Japan like Satou, but reincarnated into the new world, she is familiar enough with both worlds to explain to Satou how things work.

Satou's {{childhood friend}} and co-worker, who disappeared at the beginning of the story, forcing him to go on his programming death march in the first place. She was actually summoned to the fantasy world [[spoiler:and arrived centuries earlier than Satou as a Hero of the goddess Parion. She eventually rose to become the ancient hero king who defeated the Golden Boar Demon Lord and founded the Shiga Kingdom, Yamato.]] After receiving a revelation from the Gods she'd only be able to see Satou (who [[ChildhoodFriendRomance she's been trying to get into a relationship with since they were kids]]) again if she remained in the fantasy world, she [[HumanPopsicle froze herself]] to wait for his arrival. After Satou finally does show up, she gets unfrozen and involves herself in various minor character's stories while looking for her old friend.
