* BreakThemByTalking: Although unintentionally, he did to Gentaro by making fun of his old-fashioned attire.
* CharmPerson: His Rap Ability "Enchant" gives him a temporary control over his opponent, making them use their attacks against their own allies.
* ChickMagnet: He very much is one, which can be quite unfortunate, due to his fear of women. Not to mention that [[AbhorrentAdmirer not all women he attracts]] [[{{Yandere}} are well-intentioned.]]

* SecurityBlanket: His jacket. Before applying to the host club, Hifumi managed to convince himself that when he puts on a suit, he becomes a charismatic womanizer. And it worked. And resulted in him developing a SplitPersonality.

* SplitPersonality: When he puts on a host jacket, he becomes practically a different person, becoming TheCasanova, free of his fear of women. Jakurai theorized that it could be not a personality disorder, but rather a case of an extreme self-suggestion, as Hifumi forced himself to think that when he dons a jacket, he becomes someone different.

* {{Bishonen}}: Although it's a given in the series with the CastFullOfPrettyBoys, Hifumi is an exceptional example, being the No.1 host in Shinjuku and a cerified ChickMagnet. He puts much more care in his appearance and skin routine than any other character from the main cast.
