History Characters / GakuenBabysitters

* WomenAreWiser: She is notably more eloquent and mature than her peers, or at least tries to be. Her speech is the most developed out of all the kids, she's the only one who can carry juice without falling over at their cafe (to be fair everyone's costumes made it really hard for them to walk), and she's the first to know how to write. This can be justified by the fact that she's the oldest of the daycare kids, so her development is ahead of everyone else's.

* DisappearedDad: Both Kamitani brothers are estranged from their father ever since he and Shizuka divorced. Though emotionally distant, they are still physically close, since Hebihara is one of the teachers in the school.Nevertheless, Hebihara treats Kamitani like other students and doesn't allow him to address him as his father during work hours, and he (initially) avoids contact with Taka who is oblivious.

* AnimalThemeNaming: Keeping up with the rest of the cast, his name "Usaida" contains the kanji for rabbit.

* ButtMonkey: Out of the three baby-sitters, Usaida gets the least respect from the kids who aren't above insulting or tackling him amongst other things. Given his lazy personality, probably not unwarranted.

* DisappearedDad: Both Kamitani brothers are estranged from their father ever since he and Shizuka divorced. Though emotionally distant, they are still physically close, since Hebihara is one of the teachers in the school. Nevertheless, Hebihara treats Kamitani like other students and doesn't allow him to address him as his father during work hours, and he (initially) avoids contact with Taka who is oblivious.

* CreepyChild: Her intimidating cat eyes and unfriendly personality disturbs everyone but Kotarō. When she's shy, she crawls under the table where [[ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes only her eyes are visible]]. The one word she can say in her BabyTalk is somewhat recognizable as threatening, and she directs it at anyone she doesn't like.

* {{Keigo}}: Her speech patterns are very polite and eloquent despite how young she is, though this is offset by her [[BabyTalk childish speech impediments]].

* NotGoodWithPeople: Little children, to be exact. When she goes to the daycare for the first time, she tells Ryūichi that she is not good with kids due to her being harassed by them in the past. She grows out of it later on, as she spends more time with them.

* NeverMyFault: Inui often blurts out that the does not considers the girls in his class cute, right in front of them. In response, the girls responded by throwing things at him. Inui only replies what did he do wrong, not realizing that he had provoked others.

* GagBoobs: Most of the kids happily point out Ushimaru's ample bust, unaware that it causes her distress.

* RageBreakingPoint: There are a lot of things that set her off. But it's best shown in Episode 5 when Ryuuchi points out that the books she got to help Kirin prove the existence of witches have a very dark and violent history surrounding it, Inomata snaps and has a huge meltdown as a result before she storms out.

* JustTheWayYouAre: In one extra chapter Yukari assures Yutaka that no matter what he looks like, he will beautiful to her and vice versa, after Midori started crying when she couldn't recognize his new, clean-shaven look.

* AnimalThemeNaming: Nekota has the kanji for cat. Fittingly, she fights a lot with Inui, who's name means dog.

* BigBrotherWorship: One of the first things Tamako says when she gets better at communicating is call Nekota her "nee-nee" (big sister).

* AnimalThemeNaming: Nekota has the kanji for cat.

* BabyTalk: She is still figuring out words and only says one phrase ("Uunjajoba!") that sounds ominous.

* ClingyJealousGirl: She quickly latches onto Kotarō and vaguely expresses hostility to anyone who comes close to him, including Ryūichi.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Kamitani is grumpy by default, and has a habit of hitting Taka on the head whenever he acts out of control. But when he crosses the line by defacing his [[NumberOneDime autographed baseball]], Kamitani doesn't react by hitting him much harder. In fact, he ''ignores'' him for almost the entire day, and before Ryūichi talks to him, is in a state of TranquilFury.

* MoralityPet: To his father Hebihara. He is a hardass with everyone else and does not seem even seem to care all that much about his elder son Hayato, but he seems to have a soft spot for the kid, automatically calling for first aid when Taka trips during a sports meet, and Kamitani reveals he sends anonymous gifts every Christmas to Taka, something he figured out a long time ago. When he learns of Kamitani and Taka's fallout over a baseball, he instantly sides with Taka and berates the elder brother.

* GirlyGirl: Something that often causes tension in the daycare is how different her interests are from the rest of the boys’ (while Midori is still too young to share interests with). She likes to play house, but boys rarely go along with it, specially Taka. This causes her to feel isolated sometimes, up until she meets Kyōko, who befriends her and starts visiting the daycare.

* MoralityPet: To his father Hebihara. He is a hardass with everyone else, even to his older son Kamitani he doesn't show to care all that much, but he seems to have a soft spot for the kid, automatically calling for first aid when Taka trips during a sports meet, and Kamitani reveals he sends anonymous gifts every Christmas to Taka, something he figured out a long time ago. When he learns of Kamitani and Taka's fallout over a baseball, he instantly sides with Taka and berates the elder brother.

* FamilyThemeNaming: All of his brothers share the kanji for "kichi", which means "luck".

* GirlyGirl: Something that often causes tension in the daycare is how different are her interests to the rest of the boys (while Midori is still too young to share interests with). She likes to play house, but boys rarely go along with it, specially Taka. This causes her to feel isolated sometimes, up until she meets Kyōko, who befriends her and starts visiting the daycare.

** A few chapters focus on her coping with being away from her mother whenever she has drama or other school commitments, with two of them focusing on her staying over with the Kashima brothers. The firs time this happens, she and Ryuuichi set up a play with the daycare kids for her mother.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapters 88 and 98 have the focus more on Kōsuke. The former focuses dominantly him trying intervene with the twins fighting over stuff and Kotarō, while the latter is a flashback to his high-school days, howe he met Umi, and how he became inspired to pursue an acting career.

* BigBrotherInstinct: The twins are rather protective of their younger sister and any of the toddlers whenever Yagi is around. Of course, still being children themselves, they usually just end up diverting his attention towards ''them'' instead, more so given that seeing then when they were toddlers is what started then-grade-schooler Yagi's... tendencies.

* NiceGuy: His attempts to save Kousuke face for the children are admirable, and he respects him very much. He's also friendly with the children, eager to accompany them in activities and lets them have a proper goodbye with his colleague's dog they come to love.

* PrinciplesZealot: Downplayed. Whenever she makes an appearance, expect someone to be scolded for acting unruly in any way, with Inomara pointing out what infractions they're committing. She'd even scold others just for standing on the hallway or right in front of the door. It's why she has a reputation of being a wet blanket.

* AnimalThemeNaming: The family name means "mouse", and like mice, they are a rather large family.

* AllMenArePerverts: Satoru believes that any male that is not himself who is associated with [[OverprotectiveDad his daughter]] is a beast with ulterior motives. It doesn't help that he often says to girls, "If I were ''x'' years younger, I would ask for your hand."

* OverprotectiveDad: Satoru goes berserk whenever he thinks boys are interested in his daughter. This is taken to a comedic extreme due to the fact said boys are, well, toddlers. Yayoi has enough foresight to ask the babysitters to dress up as girls, but Usaida's disguise isn't enough to fool him, prompting him to question the motives of the male babysitters and accuse the young boys of being "beasts" that are after his daughter.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapters 88 and 89 have the focus more on Kōsuke. The former focuses dominantly him trying intervene with the twins fighting over stuff and Kotarō, while the latter is a flashback to his high-school days, howe he met Umi, and how he became inspired to pursue an acting career.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Unusually quiet for his age group, and when he does speak, it's very little and in broken sentences. Either A) his vocabulary isn't fully developed yet, B) he is a really quiet child, or C) he has selective mutism. He's been strangely quiet ever since he was a baby, which made Ryūichi worry at the time.
