** By ''Ensemble Stars!!'', it was initially implied offscreen that their relationship was improving until Madara’s 3 star sub-story featuring Kanata was released, which showed a significant change their dynamic. While Kanata is still Tsundere in his interactions with Madara, he veers far more on the ''dere dere'' side than before. He even tells Madara to come to him if he ever needs help, as he’s a hero now. This is a stark contrast to their [[AllTakeAndNoGive original relationship dynamic]].

Heroes burning with passion ☆
In the first game, RYUSEITAI is a superhero unit who won't let any evils go unpunished! The curious members apparently have come together under the banner of justice...?!
In the second game, RYUSEITAI is a squadron that fights for justice, affiliated with Star Maker Production. :ed by Chiaki Morisawa, their fanservice is laden with the quirkiness of their varied personalities. When doing work in media, they participate in anything that best utilizes the character of their unit. Thus, they focus on work involving sports variety programs, gourmet reports, and acting as main characters of children's programs. They continue to do volunteer work and hold hero shows regularly, and have continued to do so since their time as units.
Their theme colors are the [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience five colors of each member's role]], which are based off of super sentai roles.
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* {{Catchphrase}}: Each RYUSEITAI member has a catchphrase to go along with their hero personality.
-->'''Chiaki''': [[RedIsHeroic Red flames are the mark of justice!]] The life-giving sun, burning bright red! Ryusei Red, Chiaki Morisawa!
-->'''Kanata''': Blue flames are the mark of mystery! I have come from the blue sea! Ryusei Blue, Kanata Shinkai. [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud Sparkle☆]]
-->'''Tetora''': Black flames are the mark of great endeavor! The burning fighting spirit, stained with the soil of the earth! Ryusei Black, Tetora Nagumo!
-->'''Shinobu''': Yellow flames are the mark of hope! A single miracle shining into the darkness! Ryusei Yellow, Shinobu Sengoku!
-->'''Midori''': The infinitely growing Great Nature. Green flames are the mark of compassion. Ryusei Green, Midori Takamine.
** Among these, Midori is the only one who never says his catchphrase correctly and diverges from the original line.
-->'''Midori''': Green flames are the mark of compassion... Healing everyone with things like mascot characters... My name is "Midori (green)" therefore, Ryusei Green... Midori Takamine...
* ColorCodedCharacters: As per the unit's tradition, each RYUSEITAI member has a color associated with them.
** Chiaki: Red
** Kanata: Blue
** Midori: Green
** Shinobu: Yellow
** Tetora: Black
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Played with. As one of the veteran, historical units in Yumenosaki, they've fallen out of spotlight after Eichi/fine's reign. However, the Supernova event also reveals RYUSEITAI has actually long rotted before that, becoming an empty shell after the first generation, and that it's only now RYUSEITAI truly gathers with five people, allowing them to return to their GloryDays.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: RYUSEITAI is comprised of members who either have no motivation (Midori) or have a reputation for being so strange no other unit would accept them (Shinobu and Kanata). As Tetora points out once, they have such hard time gathering because they're mainly people Chiaki had to pull into joining. That said, the members do come to develop a bond, and they live up to their name as a veteran unit.
* {{Sentai}}: Their motif is very much owed to this very specific flavor of superheroes, a la Super Sentai or Power Rangers.
[[/folder]]
!Current members
[[folder:Chiaki Morisawa]]
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chiaki_morisawa_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"I'm Chiaki Morisawa with the burning heart! Count on me whenever you're in trouble!"''
--> '''Voiced by''': Yuichi Jose (Japanese), Aaron Campbell (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Ryou Saeki (stage play)
High-spirited enough to make certain low-spirited underclassmen's days waaay too exciting, Chiaki makes up the 50% in the 150% of RYUSEITAI's enthusiasm. He's a good-natured upperclassman who loves being relied on and is eager to undertake just about anything. All in all, as Ryusei Red, he wears the traditional {{Sentai}} implications of the color pretty well.
While it may come as a shock, he admires superheroes a lot, and much like them, thinks teamwork is the best thing since sliced and diced crispy fries, as well as introductory lines, which every member has due to him. Despite his good reflexes, he often gets injured and has to be taken care of by the school doctor, Jin Sagami.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: His stifling attention to his juniors, be it the ones in RYUSEITAI or Basketball Club, is proof of his affection towards them. As far as he's concerned, they're his children.
* BecomingTheMask: It's implied he was meek and maybe even bullied when he was younger. It's only recently that he started acting more like the heroes he admires.
* {{Bookworm}}: In the Sweet Halloween event story, Chiaki states that he has a habit of reading something before he sleeps. In some of his dialogue, it is shown that he borrows books from the library at times.
* BrokenPedestal: Completely averted, as he still idolizes the former vice-captain of Ryuseitai, Madara Mikejima. Everyone, especially Kanata recognizes that Madara is a horrible role model, and ''Madara himself'' wishes this trope was invoked because he does not want Chiaki to look up to him or find his actions "heroic".
** However, played straight when it comes to fine - Chiaki was a huge fan of old fine, so when the war happened, he really believed they were heroes of justice taking down terrible villains. However, when he got to know Kanata, he realised that those 'villains' where just ordinary people themselves, and became ashamed of how much he had supported fine. However, though he recognises what they did was wrong, he still has something of the fanboy in him, and at one point in ''Saga pt 2'' refers to Eichi as a friend. (Eichi, for his part, merely remarks that the word 'friend' still sounds weird to him.)
* CallingYourAttacks: In the yonkoma manga, he tries to enforce this on the Basketball Club members. None of them are too happy about it.
* FriendToAllChildren: Emphasized in the School Festival event story.
-->'''Chiaki:''' Yeah, I love kids! I was this close to hugging the kid just now, but I held it in!
* IdiotsCannotCatchColds: Brought up in the Hero Show scout story, where he actually ''[[SubvertedTrope does]]'' end up catching a cold, resulting in this exchange:
-->'''Shinobu''': Do you not understand? Taichou-dono was wandering around in the rain, searching for Tetora-kun, and thus has caught a cold!
-->'''Tetora''': Eh?! That person can't catch a cold, can he?
* KindheartedCatLover: Implied in one of his Sub Stories.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Will hug anyone without caring that they don't like to be touched.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's sometimes noted to be more calculative and insightful than his appearance suggests.
* PassingTheTorch: He eventually passes the title of RYUSEI Red to Tetora.
* RedIsHeroic: He ''is'' RYUSEI Red, and fittingly is TheLeader and the one who admires superheroes the most.
* TheLeader: The Headstrong type: a natural-born leader who fully believes ThePowerOfFriendship and TeamSpirit, loves being relied on and overall acts like a superhero. He's also the captain of the Basketball Club.
* TrademarkHatedFood: Eggplants.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes?: Usually, Chiaki is shown to have a brave persona, but when [[spoiler: anything horror-related]] comes into the situation...
** He tries his best to hide this fear, but sometimes, his acting or his reactions become a bit too [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] that his fear becomes obvious, which is seen a lot in the event story Sweet Halloween.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tetora Nagumo]]
[[quoteright:254:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tetora_nagumo_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"My hobby is weight training! My dream is to become a man among men!"''
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YoshikiNakajima (Japanese), Creator/KyleIgneczi (English)
--> '''Portrayed by''': Seiya Konishi (stage play)
Serious but energetic, Tetora's the sort of (guy's) guy who can only focus on one thing at a time. He's a hard worker, but his enthusiasm usually doesn't pay off the way he hopes it will--or really, most of the time around the third year karate club captain Kuro Kiryu, who he admires very much, and affectionately refers to as "boss." Nonetheless, he always puts his all into being Ryusei Black of RYUUSETAI.
He claims to be a good cook, but actually has no sense of taste, and tying into his single-mindedness, he can't do detailed tasks because he's not very good with his hands. He is good friends with his classmates Tomoya Mashiro and Hajime Shino, with the latter often helping him with his studies.
----
* AffectionateNickname : Kuro calls him "Tetsu".
* AnimalMotifs: Tetora seems to have tigers as motif. [[MeaningfulName His first name means "Iron Tiger"]], his autograph (which is only the kanji that means "tiger") is stylized so that the kanji's last stroke looks like a tiger's tail, and apparently [[http://d2528trfm6abyv.cloudfront.net/sp/events/17/img/emiohrqk_n.png his cellphone case]] is tiger-themed.
* BecomingTheMask:
** A mild example. Tetora initially wanted to join Akatsuki out of his admiration for Kuro, but upon failing the test, he had no choice but to opt for RYUSEITAI instead. At first, Tetora still held hopes for RYUSEITAI, but he was let down to learn all they ever do is play heroes. However, with the passage of time, he is shown to grow comfortable to his position in RYUSEITAI, making good friends with his fellow first years Midori and Shinobu.
** In Christmas Live, he also admits to be dissatisfied with being Black, wanting to be Red instead. But when Chiaki offers to let him wear Red for that one time, he refuses saying he's grown comfortable with being Black, and will hold off on becoming Red until Chiaki graduates.
* BigBrotherWorship: Really admires Akatsuki's Kuro, though they are not actually related by blood. He also has a similar admiration for [[CoolBigSis Anzu]].
* CuteLittleFangs: Sports these, if you pay attention to his cards.
* FriendlyRivals: In the sequel, Hiiro joins the karate club and becomes a common sparring partner with Tetora.
* {{Keet}}: Small, cute and often excited.
* IWantToBecomeARealMan: His primary motivation. Initially, he looks up to Kuro because he's physically tough and manly, but Kuro pushes him towards RYUSEITAI in the belief that Chiaki would be a better role model. Over the course of the year, Tetora learns that being a good man is much more than just being strong, and Kuro learns that he himself isn't such a bad big brother figure, either.
* LethalChef: Thinks he cooks good food, but his handling of fire is very poor and he often burns down what he meant to cook. The Cooking gacha story reveals that it's because of a past trauma where he fell ill from undercooked meat, so he overcooks food out of reflex.
* ObliviousToLove: Or oblivious to flirting, anyway - no matter how much Hinata teases him (he's very fond of the newlywed's three-choice), Tetora never seems to notice.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Towards Kuro and Anzu, he's enthusiastic and respectful. Towards his fellow first years, he's warm, amiable and helpful. Towards Chiaki though... he's no less cold and hurtful than Midori. That said, he ''does'' respect him somewhere in his heart, [[{{Tsundere}} even if he'll never really admit it]].
* TrademarkHatedFood: Carrots.
* VerbalTic: Ends his sentences with "-ssu".
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Enthusiastically crossdresses in the ''Beasts'' gacha story, though he was tricked into doing it by Arashi.

[[folder:Kanata Shinkai]]
[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanata_shinkai_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"Fish... ♪ Sea turtles... ♪ Drowned bodies... ♪"''
--> '''Voiced by''': ''Creator/KotaroNishiyama'' (Japanese), Brandon [=McInnis=] (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Yuki Isshi (2017), Kaito Hori (2018-present)
Mild-mannered and mysterious, Kanata is Ryusei Blue, and one of the "Three Oddballs." The teachers often keep a close eye on him since his eccentric behavior stands out a lot--for example, all those times he installed a giant fish tank and other enigmatic apparatuses in the academy, with the Marine Bio Club as his excuse.
He's usually calm and takes it easy, but gets excessively excited when it comes to marine life. He seems obsessed with eating his food with soy sauce. He loves soaking in water and watching the ocean despite the fact that he cannot swim. Occasionally, he accompanies fellow RYUSEITAI member, Midori Takamine, to watch the sea.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: The ''Aquarium'' chapter is dedicated to him, his family issues, his ObfuscatingStupidity and his exact relationship with Madara.
* AGodIAmNot: Because he's the heir of the Shinkai household, he's treated as a living god and is worshipped. Kanata hates the responsability and attention and wishes he could be a normal person. It's implied in ''Aquarium'' that he acts like an oddball to spite his household.
-->''I wish to become a “friend” known as “Kanata Shinkai,” who has no “relation” to my home. That is what I have “wished” for since the start, after all.''
* AbusiveParents: Kanata resents his strict upbringing and his household, who worship him for being the heir to his family. Because of this, Kanata resents his parents and thus dislikes calling Madara "Mama".
** He does end up calling Madara " Mama " several times near the end of '' Aquariums'' story after seemingly making amends with him, however.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: His relationship with Madara in the past, as he highlights in ''Aquarium''.
-->'''Kanata''' to himself: ''I have always been so “horrible” to him, too....I have never once given anything “back” to him, so why is he always this “nice” to me?''
* BewareTheSillyOnes : He might look like an innocent, silly {{CloudcuckooLander}}, but if you piss him off, he won't hesitate to do things like shove your head underwater or karate chop your head, as poor Souma has experienced first hand.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Puka, puka....♪"/"Bubble, bubble....♪"
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: In early stories he was portrayed as much more genuinely innocent and child-like - in the first Starfes, he's genuinely scared of Eichi, and changes his mind immediately once Anzu tells him that he's a good guy now. Later stories show him to be much more powerful, strong-willed, and ''not'' someone you'd want to piss off, as shown in one story where Kanata more than holds his own against Eichi, making his continued displeasure towards him very clear without ever losing his signature smile.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Madara. In fact, he was his OnlyFriend before meeting Chiaki and joining RYUSEITAI. Not that Kanata considers him a friend anyway.
* {{CloudcuckooLander}}: May be the biggest one in the series. Heck, even his fellow Oddball, Rei (who, remember, claims to be a ''vampire''), [[EveryoneHasStandards calls him an alien at one point]]. He speaks in a dreamy, lilting tone of voice and frequently does things like lying in the fountain with his clothes on, using fish as an ingredient in everything he cooks, or installing a giant fish tank in the school.
* CordonBleughChef: Loves cooking fish, and ''will'' insert fish into anything else he cooks - even chocolate. His naming sense doesn't help, as in the RYUSEITAI Chocofes he cooks a chocolate flavoured and coloured with seaweed and names it the even worse-sounding 'green bug chocolate'.
* DissonantSerenity: It seems that he still has a smile on his face sometimes when he gets angry or when he does things like shoving Souma's head into the water fountain.
* TheGadfly: Only in a mild way, but there are hints that he's more aware of how outrageous some of his behaviours are than he lets on. There's also a short substory in which he encounters Souma cooking fish and immediately expresses distress at the poor fishy, only to admit that he doesn't have any problem with eating fish and just finds it kinda funny when Souma gets all up in a rush. (Though he then praises Souma's cooking and pats his head, so it's clearly affectionate.)
* GrowingUpSucks: Since he's revered as a living god by his household, he's forced to act aloof and not do anything improper. Kanata resents his family for this and thus avoids chores and responsibilities at school.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Downplayed. Kanata assumes Madara stayed by his side because the latter's father (who's a policeman) was sent to keep watch on Kanata's household (who're implied to be in obscure business). And he's annoyed with Madara's attempts for Kanata to call him "Mama", since his own parents are strict. In reality, Madara stayed close to Kanata because he was genuinely worried about him and considered him a friend. He finally realizes this in ''Aquarium'' and thanks Madara for caring about him.
* FirstNameBasis: Refers to almost everyone by their first name, without using any honorifics. The exceptions are Anzu (whom he calls "Anzu-san"), Madara ([[AllTakeAndNoGive whom he calls "Rogue"]]), Natsume ([[AffectionateNickname whom he calls either "Nacchan" or "Magician-san"]]), and Eichi ([[InSeriesNickname whom he calls "Emperor"]]).
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In ''Deep Sea Mystery'', when Kaoru explains him how to play baton pass, Kanata gets anxious about doing so many things at the same time and tries to run away from the competition to feed his sea creatures because it puts him at ease. And in ''Supernova'', he's terrified about acting as a senior for the young RYUSEITAI members. This is a hint to his dislike for responsibility....and later events explain [[AGodIAmNot why he hates it so much.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Is this with any kind of sea creature. He's even the president of the school's marine life club. ''Aquarium'' reveals [[ItRunsInTheFamily his ancestors were capable of communicating with sea creatures as well]].
* FriendlessBackground: According to Madara, he had no friends before the Five Oddballs incident and becoming a member of Ryuseitai.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: The ''Aquarium'' chapter makes it clear that his quirky personality is just a facade to cope with his strict household. He also talks normally in his inner thoughts.
* IdiotHair: Has one, though he's more of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} than a idiot.
* {{Irony}}: He loves the sea and anything to do with it, and he's the president of the marine life club, but he can't swim at all.
* JerkassToOne: Two slightly different examples - he's openly cold and irritable with Madara in a way he isn't to anyone else (due to Madara's connection to his family), and while he calls Souma his friend and generally treats him fine he's also outright uncharacteristically mean to him at times (likely due to lingering resentment over [[spoiler:Souma returning to Akatsuki after failing to protect him in ''RYUSEI Hanabi'']]).
-->'''Shinobu:''' No fa~ir. Shinkai-dono, you should be kind to your juniors in your club, shouldn't you!?
-->'''Kanata:''' I am... always "kind," you know~ "Clubs" and "unites" are... different and all, aren't they? If I had the same "attitude" in them, that itself would be "strange," wouldn't it?
* OddFriendship: With Kaoru. In spite of Kaoru's disinterest in anything other than women, he and Kanata get along rather swimmingly.
** Souma as well, given that Kanata is so relaxed and laid-back and doesn't care for normal rules, while Souma is so hot-blooded and emotional and concerned with tradition. They get along extremely well however, with Souma highly admiring him despite their differences.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In "Purple Wisterias of May" he's shown crying, much to Souma's surprise.
* The Protectorate: Each of Madara, Chiaki, and Souma have all endeavoured to protect him and keep him from harm. Unfortunately, not even one out of the three of them was able to stop him from being sabotaged as one of the Five Oddballs.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Zigzagged. Kanata is kind and supportive to everyone except Madara, and only Madara. However, the events of ''Aquarium'' imply that he may change his tune in the future after realizing that Madara cared about him all along.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Surprisingly for someone who spends so much time in water, Kanata can't swim for the life of him.
* SuperStrength: Kanata has this to some degree. Such as pushing Souma's head underwater, carry Anzu on his shoulders with ease or karate chopping Madara.
* StepfordSmiler: Type A. He might be a silly {{CloudcuckooLander}} with an obsession for sea creatures, the ''Aquarium'' chapter shows that he's conflicted about his family heritage and his strict household and acts as a quirky oddball as a way to cope.
* {{Tsundere}}: In a way, but ''only'' to Madara. Several of their interactions involve him getting annoyed at Madara only to lighten up and apologize or be nicer to him moments later. In the event " Purple Wisteria Of May " he says that while he felt that Madara's presence was unwelcome and that he found him annoying when they were kids, he didn't quite mind being invited to play with him, hinting that they've always had that kind of relationship dynamic.
* VerbalTic: His in-game lines are written in all hiragana, probably to show how slowly he speaks.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: His face is usually in a thin-lipped or goofy smile expression, but in his Sweet Words confession to Anzu, his blushing face is noted as the most adorable he could possibly look.

[[folder:Shinobu Sengoku]]
[[quoteright:204:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shinobu_sengoku_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"I'm the only member of my Ninja Association!"''
--> '''Voiced by''': Anjyu Nitta (Japanese), Christopher Llewyn Ramirez (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Taiga Fukazawa (stage play)
Shinobu has chuunibyou and admires ninjas, establishing a ninja association all by himself and spending his days training alone. Although he's ambitious and loud-mouthed especially to himself, he's often shy around others, and being a bit naive, can fall for tricks.
Since he tends to cause small fires during his training, the teachers are keeping an eye on him. He loves high places and attics. While athletic, Shinobu doesn't quite make the best use of his own potential, but still seems to have a good time as a part of the Broadcast Committee, and as Ryusei Yellow of RYUUSETAI.
----
* ButtMonkey: Even though he practically worships the ground Anzu walks on ([[StopWorshippingMe or maybe ''because'' of]]), the poor kid is always at the subject of her teasing and is the only first year she acts cold towards. The abuse includes Anzu ignoring his cries for help when he couldn't climb down from a tree. Midori reasons it's [[{{Tsundere}} just how she expresses her love]].
-->'''Anzu''': (''to Shinobu asking if she has any plans on weekend'') [[BlatantLies I might catch a cold that day]].
** It's also been mentioned a couple of times that it's tempting to tease/mess with him, which is part of why Midori believes the above reasoning.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: He constantly puts on an act of being a cool and powerful ninja, even going so far as to use old-fashioned speech patterns typically associated with ninja from the Sengoku period.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Frequently. While talking to Midori about the above incident, he says this:
-->'''Shinobu''': She alllways turns me down...? That she can predict when she will catch a cold, Anzu-dono is amazing, [[VerbalTic de gozaru!]]
* CrocodileTears: Surprisingly enough, there's one instance where he tries this on Anzu, [[https://twitter.com/okano_myuz/status/730998038085259264 as shown in this tweet]].
-->'''Shinobu''': I beg of you, Transfer student-dono~! Are you just going to leave me to cry~? (''sniff'') Kuh, so the Persuasion by Tears technique doesn't work on you... You truly are a tough nut to crack!
* FanOfUnderdog: Towards Mao, sort-of. Mao isn't so much an underdog as he lacks pride and will gladly prostrate himself before someone (with a smile) if that would solve the problem, and ''Shinobu thinks that's cool''.
* FriendlessBackground: On days RYUSEITAI has no activity, he mostly passes the whole day without interacting with anybody. That is, until he befriends Yuuta.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: With Mao. Shinobu admires and respects Mao as a person and finds it wondrous why Mao would bother interacting with someone like himself.
* PeekABangs: His left eye is covered by his bangs. Yuta tried to see what's under his bang once before Shinobu called him out for "sexual harrassment".
* ShrinkingViolet: Shinobu is very timid and doesn't do well in front of strangers.
* VerbalTic: He fundamentally speaks like a sengoku period ninja, with the first person pronoun "sessha" and ending his sentences with "de gozaru"... even when he's using modern slang, onomatopoeia and GratuitousEnglish.

[[folder:Midori Takamine]]
[[quoteright:261:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/midori_takamine_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"Sigh, I'm so depressed. I want to die..."''
--> '''Voiced by''': Takumi Watanabe (Japanese), Creator/JasonLiebrecht (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Shoichi Murakawa (2017-2018), Ryu Ichinose (2019-present)
The tallest among the first years, Midori is blessed with good looks and physique, but has no confidence, falls into a funk really easily, and is a bit timid. He often makes inappropriate remarks and rants, and formal and honorific speech are practically his enemy. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he's bad with horror and thrill rides. He's the son of the greengrocer in the shopping district beside the academy, and thought it'd be easiest to attend high school there, but...
Somehow, although he'd never meant to become an idol, he entered the "idol course" by mistake, and has now been saddled with the weight and moniker of Ryusei Green of RYUUSEITAI. The unit's excitability has time and again proved too much for him, Chiaki Morisawa in particular, but at least when he's depressed, he can go see the ocean with his fellow group-mate, Kanata Shinkai.
----
* BecomingTheMask: He is reluctant to get involved in anything idol related when he is initially forced into being an idol without meaning to but slowly, he is starting to enjoy being an idol and also being a part of RYUSEITAI.
* BerserkButton: Played with and implied. He has this whenever [[spoiler: someone teases him about Chiaki, as seen in the dialogue from Sweet Halloween below. In the event story Orihime and Hikoboshi, Mao tried to invoke this as a joke in order to "cheer" Midori up, which doesn't work.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Tetora:''' Oh? Could it be that you’re feeling lonely~? Cuz he’s not paying attention to you~♪\\
'''Midori:''' ...\\
'''Shinobu:''' Wha—What are you going to do with that hammer, Midori-kun?! You could kill someone with that, you know?!\\
'''Midori:''' Ah--…… Sorry, I just had this sudden urge to kill… Wow, I’ve seen it before in movies, but… your mind really does go completely blank…]]
* ButtMonkey: Always caught with whatever Chiaki is doing. Poor guy.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem : Towards Chiaki, whom he found very tiring to be with. In the Strawberry Picking scout story, he became even more depressed than before thanks to Chiaki graduating, and when Shinobu mentions that he and Midori would meet with Chiaki later, he's happy enough to smile despite the depression.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "It's so depressing, I want to die..."
* CutenessProximity: To cute mascots. Though his idea of cute can be rather... let's call it strange. Sometimes. He loves cute things so much that in Pirates, he immediately recovers from his depression after seeing Anzu wearing a mascot character costume, and asks her to go on a date with him ''wearing the costume''.
* {{Dismotivation}}: He's this concerning his school activities. Somewhat understandable since he did not want to be an idol at first, and is only in the idol course by mistake. Despite all this, he does continue to participate in idol activities, even though he is still reluctant.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: It's common for other characters, particularly other first years, to comment that he's very attractive.
-->'''Hajime:''' ... Ummm, what is it? I feel weird being stared at - you're good looking so it strangely makes my heart beat fast.
* IJustWantToBeNormal : He actually doesn't want to be an idol, and wishes to be a normal person instead. [[spoiler: In the supernova event, he got jealous when seeing one of his former classmates leading a normal life, thinking that he would've been happier with a life like that. Fortunately, he got better.]]
* ImYourBiggestFan: To Yuzuru, whom he calls Master Painter or any other similar title.
** Although he doesn't say that he's exactly the ''biggest'' fan, he acts like it, as he frequently asks Yuzuru for his autograph or a drawing. This trope is even more emphasized if we remember that Yuzuru is considered a [[TerribleArtist bad artist]], which means that no one is really competing with him for the number one fan spot.
* InformedAttractiveness: Tends to be often described by other characters as good-looking, even though naturally all the characters look pretty good in this art style. (Maybe it's the height?) However, if he was unusually attractive, that would help explain why he's viewed as being so fit to be an idol despite his total lack of motivation.
* TheDragAlong: For starters, he didn't even want to be an idol; he just enrolled that course by mistake, and only entered the school itself because it was close to his house. He was also recruited into the Basketball Club because of his height, and doesn't seem all too happy about it either.
* TheEeyore: Mostly because he's often pushed around to do things he doesn't want to do, he looks depressed all the time. Note how in the game's Producer course, his chibi avatar is the only one always looking distressed, even when he's smiling.
* HeightAngst: Being so tall bothers him since it usually leads to people asking him to do physical labor jobs or become their ally, as well as being hard to find clothes and shoes that'll fit him.
* LovableCoward: He finds nearly everything scary and dislikes standing out, [[SourSupporter though he'll do it anyway, even if he complains while doing it]].
* WhenHeSmiles: He earns quite a few shrill shrieks from little girls when he smiles at them in the Strawberry-picking scout. Shinobu admits even ''his'' heart skips a beat when he sees Midori’s smile.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Kuro once states Midori reminds him of younger Chiaki. Midori contemplates suing him for defamation.

Heroes burning with passion ☆
In the first game, RYUSEITAI is a superhero unit who won't let any evils go unpunished! The curious members apparently have come together under the banner of justice...?!
In the second game, RYUSEITAI is a squadron that fights for justice, affiliated with Star Maker Production. :ed by Chiaki Morisawa, their fanservice is laden with the quirkiness of their varied personalities. When doing work in media, they participate in anything that best utilizes the character of their unit. Thus, they focus on work involving sports variety programs, gourmet reports, and acting as main characters of children's programs. They continue to do volunteer work and hold hero shows regularly, and have continued to do so since their time as units.
Their theme colors are the [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience five colors of each member's role]], which are based off of super sentai roles.
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* {{Catchphrase}}: Each RYUSEITAI member has a catchphrase to go along with their hero personality.
-->'''Chiaki''': [[RedIsHeroic Red flames are the mark of justice!]] The life-giving sun, burning bright red! Ryusei Red, Chiaki Morisawa!
-->'''Kanata''': Blue flames are the mark of mystery! I have come from the blue sea! Ryusei Blue, Kanata Shinkai. [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud Sparkle☆]]
-->'''Tetora''': Black flames are the mark of great endeavor! The burning fighting spirit, stained with the soil of the earth! Ryusei Black, Tetora Nagumo!
-->'''Shinobu''': Yellow flames are the mark of hope! A single miracle shining into the darkness! Ryusei Yellow, Shinobu Sengoku!
-->'''Midori''': The infinitely growing Great Nature. Green flames are the mark of compassion. Ryusei Green, Midori Takamine.
** Among these, Midori is the only one who never says his catchphrase correctly and diverges from the original line.
-->'''Midori''': Green flames are the mark of compassion... Healing everyone with things like mascot characters... My name is "Midori (green)" therefore, Ryusei Green... Midori Takamine...
* ColorCodedCharacters: As per the unit's tradition, each RYUSEITAI member has a color associated with them.
** Chiaki: Red
** Kanata: Blue
** Midori: Green
** Shinobu: Yellow
** Tetora: Black
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Played with. As one of the veteran, historical units in Yumenosaki, they've fallen out of spotlight after Eichi/fine's reign. However, the Supernova event also reveals RYUSEITAI has actually long rotted before that, becoming an empty shell after the first generation, and that it's only now RYUSEITAI truly gathers with five people, allowing them to return to their GloryDays.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: RYUSEITAI is comprised of members who either have no motivation (Midori) or have a reputation for being so strange no other unit would accept them (Shinobu and Kanata). As Tetora points out once, they have such hard time gathering because they're mainly people Chiaki had to pull into joining. That said, the members do come to develop a bond, and they live up to their name as a veteran unit.
* {{Sentai}}: Their motif is very much owed to this very specific flavor of superheroes, a la Super Sentai or Power Rangers.
[[/folder]]
!Current members
[[folder:Chiaki Morisawa]]
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chiaki_morisawa_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"I'm Chiaki Morisawa with the burning heart! Count on me whenever you're in trouble!"''
--> '''Voiced by''': Yuichi Jose (Japanese), Aaron Campbell (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Ryou Saeki (stage play)
High-spirited enough to make certain low-spirited underclassmen's days waaay too exciting, Chiaki makes up the 50% in the 150% of RYUSEITAI's enthusiasm. He's a good-natured upperclassman who loves being relied on and is eager to undertake just about anything. All in all, as Ryusei Red, he wears the traditional {{Sentai}} implications of the color pretty well.
While it may come as a shock, he admires superheroes a lot, and much like them, thinks teamwork is the best thing since sliced and diced crispy fries, as well as introductory lines, which every member has due to him. Despite his good reflexes, he often gets injured and has to be taken care of by the school doctor, Jin Sagami.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: His stifling attention to his juniors, be it the ones in RYUSEITAI or Basketball Club, is proof of his affection towards them. As far as he's concerned, they're his children.
* BecomingTheMask: It's implied he was meek and maybe even bullied when he was younger. It's only recently that he started acting more like the heroes he admires.
* {{Bookworm}}: In the Sweet Halloween event story, Chiaki states that he has a habit of reading something before he sleeps. In some of his dialogue, it is shown that he borrows books from the library at times.
* BrokenPedestal: Completely averted, as he still idolizes the former vice-captain of Ryuseitai, Madara Mikejima. Everyone, especially Kanata recognizes that Madara is a horrible role model, and ''Madara himself'' wishes this trope was invoked because he does not want Chiaki to look up to him or find his actions "heroic".
** However, played straight when it comes to fine - Chiaki was a huge fan of old fine, so when the war happened, he really believed they were heroes of justice taking down terrible villains. However, when he got to know Kanata, he realised that those 'villains' where just ordinary people themselves, and became ashamed of how much he had supported fine. However, though he recognises what they did was wrong, he still has something of the fanboy in him, and at one point in ''Saga pt 2'' refers to Eichi as a friend. (Eichi, for his part, merely remarks that the word 'friend' still sounds weird to him.)
* CallingYourAttacks: In the yonkoma manga, he tries to enforce this on the Basketball Club members. None of them are too happy about it.
* FriendToAllChildren: Emphasized in the School Festival event story.
-->'''Chiaki:''' Yeah, I love kids! I was this close to hugging the kid just now, but I held it in!
* IdiotsCannotCatchColds: Brought up in the Hero Show scout story, where he actually ''[[SubvertedTrope does]]'' end up catching a cold, resulting in this exchange:
-->'''Shinobu''': Do you not understand? Taichou-dono was wandering around in the rain, searching for Tetora-kun, and thus has caught a cold!
-->'''Tetora''': Eh?! That person can't catch a cold, can he?
* KindheartedCatLover: Implied in one of his Sub Stories.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Will hug anyone without caring that they don't like to be touched.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's sometimes noted to be more calculative and insightful than his appearance suggests.
* PassingTheTorch: He eventually passes the title of RYUSEI Red to Tetora.
* RedIsHeroic: He ''is'' RYUSEI Red, and fittingly is TheLeader and the one who admires superheroes the most.
* TheLeader: The Headstrong type: a natural-born leader who fully believes ThePowerOfFriendship and TeamSpirit, loves being relied on and overall acts like a superhero. He's also the captain of the Basketball Club.
* TrademarkHatedFood: Eggplants.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes?: Usually, Chiaki is shown to have a brave persona, but when [[spoiler: anything horror-related]] comes into the situation...
** He tries his best to hide this fear, but sometimes, his acting or his reactions become a bit too [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] that his fear becomes obvious, which is seen a lot in the event story Sweet Halloween.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tetora Nagumo]]
[[quoteright:254:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tetora_nagumo_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"My hobby is weight training! My dream is to become a man among men!"''
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YoshikiNakajima (Japanese), Creator/KyleIgneczi (English)
--> '''Portrayed by''': Seiya Konishi (stage play)
Serious but energetic, Tetora's the sort of (guy's) guy who can only focus on one thing at a time. He's a hard worker, but his enthusiasm usually doesn't pay off the way he hopes it will--or really, most of the time around the third year karate club captain Kuro Kiryu, who he admires very much, and affectionately refers to as "boss." Nonetheless, he always puts his all into being Ryusei Black of RYUUSETAI.
He claims to be a good cook, but actually has no sense of taste, and tying into his single-mindedness, he can't do detailed tasks because he's not very good with his hands. He is good friends with his classmates Tomoya Mashiro and Hajime Shino, with the latter often helping him with his studies.
----
* AffectionateNickname : Kuro calls him "Tetsu".
* AnimalMotifs: Tetora seems to have tigers as motif. [[MeaningfulName His first name means "Iron Tiger"]], his autograph (which is only the kanji that means "tiger") is stylized so that the kanji's last stroke looks like a tiger's tail, and apparently [[http://d2528trfm6abyv.cloudfront.net/sp/events/17/img/emiohrqk_n.png his cellphone case]] is tiger-themed.
* BecomingTheMask:
** A mild example. Tetora initially wanted to join Akatsuki out of his admiration for Kuro, but upon failing the test, he had no choice but to opt for RYUSEITAI instead. At first, Tetora still held hopes for RYUSEITAI, but he was let down to learn all they ever do is play heroes. However, with the passage of time, he is shown to grow comfortable to his position in RYUSEITAI, making good friends with his fellow first years Midori and Shinobu.
** In Christmas Live, he also admits to be dissatisfied with being Black, wanting to be Red instead. But when Chiaki offers to let him wear Red for that one time, he refuses saying he's grown comfortable with being Black, and will hold off on becoming Red until Chiaki graduates.
* BigBrotherWorship: Really admires Akatsuki's Kuro, though they are not actually related by blood. He also has a similar admiration for [[CoolBigSis Anzu]].
* CuteLittleFangs: Sports these, if you pay attention to his cards.
* FriendlyRivals: In the sequel, Hiiro joins the karate club and becomes a common sparring partner with Tetora.
* {{Keet}}: Small, cute and often excited.
* IWantToBecomeARealMan: His primary motivation. Initially, he looks up to Kuro because he's physically tough and manly, but Kuro pushes him towards RYUSEITAI in the belief that Chiaki would be a better role model. Over the course of the year, Tetora learns that being a good man is much more than just being strong, and Kuro learns that he himself isn't such a bad big brother figure, either.
* LethalChef: Thinks he cooks good food, but his handling of fire is very poor and he often burns down what he meant to cook. The Cooking gacha story reveals that it's because of a past trauma where he fell ill from undercooked meat, so he overcooks food out of reflex.
* ObliviousToLove: Or oblivious to flirting, anyway - no matter how much Hinata teases him (he's very fond of the newlywed's three-choice), Tetora never seems to notice.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Towards Kuro and Anzu, he's enthusiastic and respectful. Towards his fellow first years, he's warm, amiable and helpful. Towards Chiaki though... he's no less cold and hurtful than Midori. That said, he ''does'' respect him somewhere in his heart, [[{{Tsundere}} even if he'll never really admit it]].
* TrademarkHatedFood: Carrots.
* VerbalTic: Ends his sentences with "-ssu".
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Enthusiastically crossdresses in the ''Beasts'' gacha story, though he was tricked into doing it by Arashi.

[[folder:Kanata Shinkai]]
[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanata_shinkai_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"Fish... ♪ Sea turtles... ♪ Drowned bodies... ♪"''
--> '''Voiced by''': ''Creator/KotaroNishiyama'' (Japanese), Brandon [=McInnis=] (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Yuki Isshi (2017), Kaito Hori (2018-present)
Mild-mannered and mysterious, Kanata is Ryusei Blue, and one of the "Three Oddballs." The teachers often keep a close eye on him since his eccentric behavior stands out a lot--for example, all those times he installed a giant fish tank and other enigmatic apparatuses in the academy, with the Marine Bio Club as his excuse.
He's usually calm and takes it easy, but gets excessively excited when it comes to marine life. He seems obsessed with eating his food with soy sauce. He loves soaking in water and watching the ocean despite the fact that he cannot swim. Occasionally, he accompanies fellow RYUSEITAI member, Midori Takamine, to watch the sea.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: The ''Aquarium'' chapter is dedicated to him, his family issues, his ObfuscatingStupidity and his exact relationship with Madara.
* AGodIAmNot: Because he's the heir of the Shinkai household, he's treated as a living god and is worshipped. Kanata hates the responsability and attention and wishes he could be a normal person. It's implied in ''Aquarium'' that he acts like an oddball to spite his household.
-->''I wish to become a “friend” known as “Kanata Shinkai,” who has no “relation” to my home. That is what I have “wished” for since the start, after all.''
* AbusiveParents: Kanata resents his strict upbringing and his household, who worship him for being the heir to his family. Because of this, Kanata resents his parents and thus dislikes calling Madara "Mama".
** He does end up calling Madara " Mama " several times near the end of '' Aquariums'' story after seemingly making amends with him, however.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: His relationship with Madara in the past, as he highlights in ''Aquarium''.
-->'''Kanata''' to himself: ''I have always been so “horrible” to him, too....I have never once given anything “back” to him, so why is he always this “nice” to me?''
* BewareTheSillyOnes : He might look like an innocent, silly {{CloudcuckooLander}}, but if you piss him off, he won't hesitate to do things like shove your head underwater or karate chop your head, as poor Souma has experienced first hand.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Puka, puka....♪"/"Bubble, bubble....♪"
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: In early stories he was portrayed as much more genuinely innocent and child-like - in the first Starfes, he's genuinely scared of Eichi, and changes his mind immediately once Anzu tells him that he's a good guy now. Later stories show him to be much more powerful, strong-willed, and ''not'' someone you'd want to piss off, as shown in one story where Kanata more than holds his own against Eichi, making his continued displeasure towards him very clear without ever losing his signature smile.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Madara. In fact, he was his OnlyFriend before meeting Chiaki and joining RYUSEITAI. Not that Kanata considers him a friend anyway.
* {{CloudcuckooLander}}: May be the biggest one in the series. Heck, even his fellow Oddball, Rei (who, remember, claims to be a ''vampire''), [[EveryoneHasStandards calls him an alien at one point]]. He speaks in a dreamy, lilting tone of voice and frequently does things like lying in the fountain with his clothes on, using fish as an ingredient in everything he cooks, or installing a giant fish tank in the school.
* CordonBleughChef: Loves cooking fish, and ''will'' insert fish into anything else he cooks - even chocolate. His naming sense doesn't help, as in the RYUSEITAI Chocofes he cooks a chocolate flavoured and coloured with seaweed and names it the even worse-sounding 'green bug chocolate'.
* DissonantSerenity: It seems that he still has a smile on his face sometimes when he gets angry or when he does things like shoving Souma's head into the water fountain.
* TheGadfly: Only in a mild way, but there are hints that he's more aware of how outrageous some of his behaviours are than he lets on. There's also a short substory in which he encounters Souma cooking fish and immediately expresses distress at the poor fishy, only to admit that he doesn't have any problem with eating fish and just finds it kinda funny when Souma gets all up in a rush. (Though he then praises Souma's cooking and pats his head, so it's clearly affectionate.)
* GrowingUpSucks: Since he's revered as a living god by his household, he's forced to act aloof and not do anything improper. Kanata resents his family for this and thus avoids chores and responsibilities at school.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Downplayed. Kanata assumes Madara stayed by his side because the latter's father (who's a policeman) was sent to keep watch on Kanata's household (who're implied to be in obscure business). And he's annoyed with Madara's attempts for Kanata to call him "Mama", since his own parents are strict. In reality, Madara stayed close to Kanata because he was genuinely worried about him and considered him a friend. He finally realizes this in ''Aquarium'' and thanks Madara for caring about him.
* FirstNameBasis: Refers to almost everyone by their first name, without using any honorifics. The exceptions are Anzu (whom he calls "Anzu-san"), Madara ([[AllTakeAndNoGive whom he calls "Rogue"]]), Natsume ([[AffectionateNickname whom he calls either "Nacchan" or "Magician-san"]]), and Eichi ([[InSeriesNickname whom he calls "Emperor"]]).
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In ''Deep Sea Mystery'', when Kaoru explains him how to play baton pass, Kanata gets anxious about doing so many things at the same time and tries to run away from the competition to feed his sea creatures because it puts him at ease. And in ''Supernova'', he's terrified about acting as a senior for the young RYUSEITAI members. This is a hint to his dislike for responsibility....and later events explain [[AGodIAmNot why he hates it so much.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Is this with any kind of sea creature. He's even the president of the school's marine life club. ''Aquarium'' reveals [[ItRunsInTheFamily his ancestors were capable of communicating with sea creatures as well]].
* FriendlessBackground: According to Madara, he had no friends before the Five Oddballs incident and becoming a member of Ryuseitai.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: The ''Aquarium'' chapter makes it clear that his quirky personality is just a facade to cope with his strict household. He also talks normally in his inner thoughts.
* IdiotHair: Has one, though he's more of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} than a idiot.
* {{Irony}}: He loves the sea and anything to do with it, and he's the president of the marine life club, but he can't swim at all.
* JerkassToOne: Two slightly different examples - he's openly cold and irritable with Madara in a way he isn't to anyone else (due to Madara's connection to his family), and while he calls Souma his friend and generally treats him fine he's also outright uncharacteristically mean to him at times (likely due to lingering resentment over [[spoiler:Souma returning to Akatsuki after failing to protect him in ''RYUSEI Hanabi'']]).
-->'''Shinobu:''' No fa~ir. Shinkai-dono, you should be kind to your juniors in your club, shouldn't you!?
-->'''Kanata:''' I am... always "kind," you know~ "Clubs" and "unites" are... different and all, aren't they? If I had the same "attitude" in them, that itself would be "strange," wouldn't it?
* OddFriendship: With Kaoru. In spite of Kaoru's disinterest in anything other than women, he and Kanata get along rather swimmingly.
** Souma as well, given that Kanata is so relaxed and laid-back and doesn't care for normal rules, while Souma is so hot-blooded and emotional and concerned with tradition. They get along extremely well however, with Souma highly admiring him despite their differences.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In "Purple Wisterias of May" he's shown crying, much to Souma's surprise.
* The Protectorate: Each of Madara, Chiaki, and Souma have all endeavoured to protect him and keep him from harm. Unfortunately, not even one out of the three of them was able to stop him from being sabotaged as one of the Five Oddballs.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Zigzagged. Kanata is kind and supportive to everyone except Madara, and only Madara. However, the events of ''Aquarium'' imply that he may change his tune in the future after realizing that Madara cared about him all along.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Surprisingly for someone who spends so much time in water, Kanata can't swim for the life of him.
* SuperStrength: Kanata has this to some degree. Such as pushing Souma's head underwater, carry Anzu on his shoulders with ease or karate chopping Madara.
* StepfordSmiler: Type A. He might be a silly {{CloudcuckooLander}} with an obsession for sea creatures, the ''Aquarium'' chapter shows that he's conflicted about his family heritage and his strict household and acts as a quirky oddball as a way to cope.
* {{Tsundere}}: In a way, but ''only'' to Madara. Several of their interactions involve him getting annoyed at Madara only to lighten up and apologize or be nicer to him moments later. In the event " Purple Wisteria Of May " he says that while he felt that Madara's presence was unwelcome and that he found him annoying when they were kids, he didn't quite mind being invited to play with him, hinting that they've always had that kind of relationship dynamic.
* VerbalTic: His in-game lines are written in all hiragana, probably to show how slowly he speaks.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: His face is usually in a thin-lipped or goofy smile expression, but in his Sweet Words confession to Anzu, his blushing face is noted as the most adorable he could possibly look.

[[folder:Shinobu Sengoku]]
[[quoteright:204:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shinobu_sengoku_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"I'm the only member of my Ninja Association!"''
--> '''Voiced by''': Anjyu Nitta (Japanese), Christopher Llewyn Ramirez (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Taiga Fukazawa (stage play)
Shinobu has chuunibyou and admires ninjas, establishing a ninja association all by himself and spending his days training alone. Although he's ambitious and loud-mouthed especially to himself, he's often shy around others, and being a bit naive, can fall for tricks.
Since he tends to cause small fires during his training, the teachers are keeping an eye on him. He loves high places and attics. While athletic, Shinobu doesn't quite make the best use of his own potential, but still seems to have a good time as a part of the Broadcast Committee, and as Ryusei Yellow of RYUUSETAI.
----
* ButtMonkey: Even though he practically worships the ground Anzu walks on ([[StopWorshippingMe or maybe ''because'' of]]), the poor kid is always at the subject of her teasing and is the only first year she acts cold towards. The abuse includes Anzu ignoring his cries for help when he couldn't climb down from a tree. Midori reasons it's [[{{Tsundere}} just how she expresses her love]].
-->'''Anzu''': (''to Shinobu asking if she has any plans on weekend'') [[BlatantLies I might catch a cold that day]].
** It's also been mentioned a couple of times that it's tempting to tease/mess with him, which is part of why Midori believes the above reasoning.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: He constantly puts on an act of being a cool and powerful ninja, even going so far as to use old-fashioned speech patterns typically associated with ninja from the Sengoku period.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Frequently. While talking to Midori about the above incident, he says this:
-->'''Shinobu''': She alllways turns me down...? That she can predict when she will catch a cold, Anzu-dono is amazing, [[VerbalTic de gozaru!]]
* CrocodileTears: Surprisingly enough, there's one instance where he tries this on Anzu, [[https://twitter.com/okano_myuz/status/730998038085259264 as shown in this tweet]].
-->'''Shinobu''': I beg of you, Transfer student-dono~! Are you just going to leave me to cry~? (''sniff'') Kuh, so the Persuasion by Tears technique doesn't work on you... You truly are a tough nut to crack!
* FanOfUnderdog: Towards Mao, sort-of. Mao isn't so much an underdog as he lacks pride and will gladly prostrate himself before someone (with a smile) if that would solve the problem, and ''Shinobu thinks that's cool''.
* FriendlessBackground: On days RYUSEITAI has no activity, he mostly passes the whole day without interacting with anybody. That is, until he befriends Yuuta.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: With Mao. Shinobu admires and respects Mao as a person and finds it wondrous why Mao would bother interacting with someone like himself.
* PeekABangs: His left eye is covered by his bangs. Yuta tried to see what's under his bang once before Shinobu called him out for "sexual harrassment".
* ShrinkingViolet: Shinobu is very timid and doesn't do well in front of strangers.
* VerbalTic: He fundamentally speaks like a sengoku period ninja, with the first person pronoun "sessha" and ending his sentences with "de gozaru"... even when he's using modern slang, onomatopoeia and GratuitousEnglish.

[[folder:Midori Takamine]]
[[quoteright:261:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/midori_takamine_school_dialogue_render.png]]
->''"Sigh, I'm so depressed. I want to die..."''
--> '''Voiced by''': Takumi Watanabe (Japanese), Creator/JasonLiebrecht (English)
--> '''Portrayed by:''' Shoichi Murakawa (2017-2018), Ryu Ichinose (2019-present)
The tallest among the first years, Midori is blessed with good looks and physique, but has no confidence, falls into a funk really easily, and is a bit timid. He often makes inappropriate remarks and rants, and formal and honorific speech are practically his enemy. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he's bad with horror and thrill rides. He's the son of the greengrocer in the shopping district beside the academy, and thought it'd be easiest to attend high school there, but...
Somehow, although he'd never meant to become an idol, he entered the "idol course" by mistake, and has now been saddled with the weight and moniker of Ryusei Green of RYUUSEITAI. The unit's excitability has time and again proved too much for him, Chiaki Morisawa in particular, but at least when he's depressed, he can go see the ocean with his fellow group-mate, Kanata Shinkai.
----
* BecomingTheMask: He is reluctant to get involved in anything idol related when he is initially forced into being an idol without meaning to but slowly, he is starting to enjoy being an idol and also being a part of RYUSEITAI.
* BerserkButton: Played with and implied. He has this whenever [[spoiler: someone teases him about Chiaki, as seen in the dialogue from Sweet Halloween below. In the event story Orihime and Hikoboshi, Mao tried to invoke this as a joke in order to "cheer" Midori up, which doesn't work.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Tetora:''' Oh? Could it be that you’re feeling lonely~? Cuz he’s not paying attention to you~♪\\
'''Midori:''' ...\\
'''Shinobu:''' Wha—What are you going to do with that hammer, Midori-kun?! You could kill someone with that, you know?!\\
'''Midori:''' Ah--…… Sorry, I just had this sudden urge to kill… Wow, I’ve seen it before in movies, but… your mind really does go completely blank…]]
* ButtMonkey: Always caught with whatever Chiaki is doing. Poor guy.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem : Towards Chiaki, whom he found very tiring to be with. In the Strawberry Picking scout story, he became even more depressed than before thanks to Chiaki graduating, and when Shinobu mentions that he and Midori would meet with Chiaki later, he's happy enough to smile despite the depression.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "It's so depressing, I want to die..."
* CutenessProximity: To cute mascots. Though his idea of cute can be rather... let's call it strange. Sometimes. He loves cute things so much that in Pirates, he immediately recovers from his depression after seeing Anzu wearing a mascot character costume, and asks her to go on a date with him ''wearing the costume''.
* {{Dismotivation}}: He's this concerning his school activities. Somewhat understandable since he did not want to be an idol at first, and is only in the idol course by mistake. Despite all this, he does continue to participate in idol activities, even though he is still reluctant.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: It's common for other characters, particularly other first years, to comment that he's very attractive.
-->'''Hajime:''' ... Ummm, what is it? I feel weird being stared at - you're good looking so it strangely makes my heart beat fast.
* IJustWantToBeNormal : He actually doesn't want to be an idol, and wishes to be a normal person instead. [[spoiler: In the supernova event, he got jealous when seeing one of his former classmates leading a normal life, thinking that he would've been happier with a life like that. Fortunately, he got better.]]
* ImYourBiggestFan: To Yuzuru, whom he calls Master Painter or any other similar title.
** Although he doesn't say that he's exactly the ''biggest'' fan, he acts like it, as he frequently asks Yuzuru for his autograph or a drawing. This trope is even more emphasized if we remember that Yuzuru is considered a [[TerribleArtist bad artist]], which means that no one is really competing with him for the number one fan spot.
* InformedAttractiveness: Tends to be often described by other characters as good-looking, even though naturally all the characters look pretty good in this art style. (Maybe it's the height?) However, if he was unusually attractive, that would help explain why he's viewed as being so fit to be an idol despite his total lack of motivation.
* TheDragAlong: For starters, he didn't even want to be an idol; he just enrolled that course by mistake, and only entered the school itself because it was close to his house. He was also recruited into the Basketball Club because of his height, and doesn't seem all too happy about it either.
* TheEeyore: Mostly because he's often pushed around to do things he doesn't want to do, he looks depressed all the time. Note how in the game's Producer course, his chibi avatar is the only one always looking distressed, even when he's smiling.
* HeightAngst: Being so tall bothers him since it usually leads to people asking him to do physical labor jobs or become their ally, as well as being hard to find clothes and shoes that'll fit him.
* LovableCoward: He finds nearly everything scary and dislikes standing out, [[SourSupporter though he'll do it anyway, even if he complains while doing it]].
* WhenHeSmiles: He earns quite a few shrill shrieks from little girls when he smiles at them in the Strawberry-picking scout. Shinobu admits even ''his'' heart skips a beat when he sees Midori’s smile.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Kuro once states Midori reminds him of younger Chiaki. Midori contemplates suing him for defamation.
