[[folder: Furan Takaki]]
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/furan_takaki.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiharuKitaoka (Japanese), Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English)
A third year student and the Academy's {{student council president}}, which also makes her the head of their security division by proxy. She's known for her strict no-nonsense attitude and is a stickler for enforcing proper discipline at the school. Because [[TheCaptain her position is administrative]], it's rare to see her participate in battle. Therefore, she often delegates responsibility to Haruko. Nonetheless, she's one of their highest ranked ability users and possesses Habaya: another of the original 8 Maken. Which is also one of the only two that were originally owned by Himegami's mother.
----
* TheArcher:
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Lampshaded by Takaki, herself, when she finally unseals Habaya near the end of chapter 48:
-->'''Takaki: (with Habaya)''' "I am Tenbi Academy's StudentCouncilPresident... Takaki Furan! It is not my duty "to be protected by others". [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/48/20/ My duty is to protect the students of Tenbi Academy!"]]
* BadassGay: To wit: she's an '''S rank''' ability user, wielder of one of the 8 original Maken, and was recognized by Kamigari for her talents while she was only a second year student. And if you need further convincing, see the next entry...
* BigGood: By default, since Minori and the rest of the faculty have left the affairs of the school to the student council. Making it Takaki's responsibility to enforce discipline at Tenbi and protect its students from outside forces, such as Kamigari.
* ButtMonkey: With emphasis on [[PantyShot her butt]] (see the GoofyPrintUnderwear entry).
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: Takaki implied Haruko had sex with her in her sleep[[note]]see the related entry in Haruko's section[[/note]], further implicated by the accompanying flashback and Haruko's subsequent reaction. Though it was never confirmed whether or not they did.
* DoesNotLikeMen: {{Justified}}, as chapter 48 revealed she was traumatized after she [[spoiler: would've been raped by Ouken]], which [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/16.html left her androphobic.]] She became a lesbian as a result.
* FirstKiss: By accident, between her and Azuki (noted in her example section).
* FirstNameBasis: She and Yuuka refer to each other by their given names, with the addition of honorifics (i.e. "Yuuka-san").
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Takaki secretly wears animal print panties. At least, it ''would be'' a secret if Yuuka [[RunningGag didn't keep flipping up her skirt]], to show everyone what she's wearing underneath.
* HomoeroticSubtext: Between her and Yuuka (refer to the related section [[Radar/MakenKi on the radar page.]])
* LadyOfWar: When forced to fight, she'll let down her hair and remove her glasses before [[TranquilFury calmly]] drawing Habaya - an enchanted bow which fires [[LightEmUp light arrows.]]
* [[StraightGay Lesbian]]: The manga established her fear of men early on. Still, you'd have never known she was into other girls because of it, had it not been for Otohime outing her.
* LettingHerHairDown: Done near the end of chapter 48, when she [[GlassesPull removes her glasses]] and undoes her braid just before unsealing her Maken.
* LightEmUp: Habaya fires arrows of light that will relentlessly pursue the target, so long as they've touched any of the crystals created by the bow. However, it cannot be used continuously, due to the vast amount of Element it requires.
* LovelyAngels: With Yuuka, who's said to be her partner.
* {{Meganekko}}: It's readily apparent by her ruby-rimmed specs that she's the [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c006/8.html no-nonsense]], [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c012/6.html intellectual type.]] And as an honors student on top of being the student council president, she expects the others to perform up to standards.
* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: {{Inverted}} in episode 13. While the other girls were shyly mortified by Haruko molesting them in her sleep, as was Haruko [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone once she realized what she'd done]], Takaki was content to lay back and enjoy it.
* NotSoAboveItAll: So long as it's away from the school, that is. Like the time she got plastered along with everyone else at the beach party, in the first OVA episode.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield:
* RapeAsBackstory: {{Zigzagged}}. In chapter 48, Otohime reveals Takaki's fear of men stems from when she had been scouted by Kamigari for her talents. But when she refused to join them, Ouken [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/14.html thought she was too prideful]] and intended to punish her by taking her as one of his mistresses. [[spoiler: Yuuka saved Takaki by taking her place]].
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Kimi convinced Takaki to cosplay for her at the previous Manga Con, which she reluctantly went along with, until a male attendee [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/15.html got too close for comfort.]] He tried to take photos under her skirt, [[DudeNotFunny causing her to]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/16.html stomp on him]], due to her phobia. Even though Aki and the others were able to calm her down, she's refused to ever attend the convention again.
* StudentCouncilPresident: As noted in her character summation.
* SupportingLeader: As part of the supporting cast, she doesn't get as much screentime, or action, as the others. {{Justified}} since her position at the school and [[BigGood her role in the story]] doesn't allow for it.
* TranquilFury: Seen only when she's forced to unseal her Maken.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yuuka Amado]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuka_amato.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsumiTakamori (Japanese), Creator/JamieMarchi (English)
A third year student, like Takaki, and her close personal friend. Yuuka also serves as a member of the security division, where she keeps tabs on their budget, and with incidents requiring their attention around the school. In short, she's the head of Intel, a task befitting her skills as [[{{ninja}} a ninja.]] But when she isn't busy, she spends her time pushing Takaki's buttons, which only ''she'' can get away with.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay:There's been subtle indications that she may have feelings for Furan (assuming they're not already involved), such as when she agreed with Uruchi, in chapter 37, while the girls were discussing the kinds of guys they like:
-->'''Uruchi:''' ''(while drunk)'' "I think real love isn't restricted to just having relationships ''[[SchoolgirlLesbians with]]'' '''''[[DoesNotLikeMen MEN!!]]'''''"
-->'''Yuuka:''' ''(also drunk)'' [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c037/9.html "Yep! I feel the same way!"]]
* BadassInDistress: She gets captured by Otohime, at the end of chapter 69. She was expecting Tenbi to try to find her new lair and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c069/22.html set a trap in advance.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Would you believe that ditzy girl who smiles all the time possesses one of the original 8 Maken? Because she does, and it has [[DeathIsCheap one of the most broken abilities]] in the series.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Delivered during her fight commentary of the pool battle in episode 9:
-->'''Yuuka: (over the mic)''' "Ms. Aki just took out [[BitCharacter some random guy.]] But he's not a main character, [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass so who cares?"]]
* DeathIsCheap: Makaru is one of the original 8 Maken and allows its user to [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c057/ call a soul back from the Underworld.]] It can also heal injuries, allowing the user's mind and body to replenish as needed. Seen when she uses it to bring [[spoiler: Himegami]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c058/7.html back to life.]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Seen during the flashback in chapter 48, when Yuuka trades places with Takaki.
-->'''Yuuka: (soothingly)''' "Don't worry... it's okay. I'm protecting you because [[HomoeroticSubtext you're my important person]], [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/17.html Furan."]]
* {{Dominatrix}}: It seems to be part of her ninja training, since [[spoiler: her older sister, Tomika, is one too]].
** Near the end of episode 2 (season 2), Azuki defeats the thief who'd stolen Haruko's Maken and her memories. Yuuka shows up at that point and tells Azuki she'll take it from there. The camera pans up her body to show she's in [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1599752 a leather outfit, armed with a whip.]] Followed by a montage sequence of Yuuka [[ATasteOfTheLash punishing the thief]], [[LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt making her moan in ecstasy]] and beg for more.
** She wears the same outfit during the second stage of Uruchi's "special training" (episode 6, season 2). Yuuka puts her through different bondage devices, until Uruchi [[spoiler: has her first orgasm]].
* EyesAlwaysShut: It's habit for her, along with [[PerpetualSmiler her perpetual smile]] and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/15.html steepling her fingers]], which creates the impression that she's always [[TheGadfly planning mischief.]] Among the few times she'll open them is either [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c057/5.html during dire situations]], or [[spoiler: when she's alone with Furan]].
* FingerTenting: Almost always, as previously noted.
* FirstNameBasis: She and Yuuka refer to each other by their given names, albeit with the addition of honorifics. Yuuka reserves it for whenever they're alone. Around the others, she addresses her as either "President", or "Takaki-san".
* TheGadfly: She's made a hobby of trolling her friends, which [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/17.html Akaya]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/35.html and Takaki]] both noted during the pool hockey incident.
** Minori arranged for Maken-ki's trip to the island by using their club's expense. Except Yuuka turned the tables on her by revealing she'd had the funds withdrawn from ''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c028/10.html Minori's account.]]''
** And she let Takeru pour his heart out over [[spoiler: Himegami]]'s sacrifice... even though she already used Makaru to bring her back to life. When he asks why she didn't tell him, she said [[ItAmusedMe she just wanted to see]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c058/8.html how he'd react.]]
-->'''Takeru: (with [[OcularGushers waterfall tears]])''' "A {{sadist}}... this person is '''[[{{troll}} A SADIST...]]'''"
* GadgeteerGenius: Guess who set all the anti-pervert traps around the dorm Takeru, Haruko, Inaho, and Himegami are sharing? And in chapter 33, she does it again by foiling Takeru and Usui's attempts to peek on the girls, while they were bathing outdoors.
* HairAntennae: She has two strands of hair the curve forward near the front of her head.
* HeroicSacrifice: After Otohime lies, to make it sound as if Yuuka had abandoned Takaki[[note]]see the RapeAsBackstory entry in Takaki's section[[/note]] in order to save herself, it's shown that Yuuka saved Takaki, by taking her place as Ouken's mistress.
* HomoeroticSubtext: Between her and Takaki.
* IntimateHealing: At the start of chapter 57, there's a brief flashback of her using Makaru to heal Takaki, with Yuuka's hand [[spoiler: [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c057/ between her legs]]]]. Takaki's back is arched, while blushing and [[LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt biting down on her finger]], [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything as light radiates from where Yuuka is touching her.]]
* LovelyAngels: With Takaki, who's said to be her partner.
* {{Ninja}}: During chapter 33, Haruko explains that the women of the Amado Family have served the Rikojous for generations, as their private oniwaban. Yuuka is good quieting meetings with a few well aimed kunai, and she's capable [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c054/10.html as an advanced scout.]]
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield:
* PerpetualSmiler: You can literally count the times that she ''isn't smiling'' on one hand.
* RapeAsBackstory: {{Played straight}}, when she took Tataki's place as [[spoiler: Ouken]]'s mistress, in order to save her. It's a wonder how she recovered from it and remains smiling afterward.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Seen during the OVA, when Haruko unintentionally shoves Takeru onto Takaki, causing him to accidentally kiss her cheek. The upper half of Yuuka's face becomes [[FaceFramedInShadow cast in shadow]] so only a single glowing red eye can be seen, along with [[SlasherSmile her smile]], as she and Takaki synchronize and deck him together. Making it [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness the only time she's ever become angry]], possibly as a sign of jealousy.
* SayItWithHearts: Seen when Takaki briefly overcame her phobia to defend her classmates. Yuuka smiles and blushes:
-->'''Yuuka:''' ''(at Takaki)'' "President... [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/20.html you're so cool!]] ♥"
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Seen only when she's [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c069/20.html in ninja garb.]]
* SuperSpeed: As a ninja and an advanced scout, it's to be expected. In chapter 54, her speed was great enough that she was able to catch up to Takaki, Azuki, and Inaho in seconds, despite their group having a significant headstart by minutes. And in chapter 69, she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c069/19.html demonstrated her speed again]] while shadowing Otohime's group.
* {{Troll}}: Noted in the [[TheGadfly Gadfly]] entry.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Hers is indigo.

[[folder:Kengo Usui]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kengo.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatoshiTsuruoka (Japanese), Creator/ScottFreeman in season 1, Creator/AnthonyBowling in season 2 (English)
Another first year student, who enrolled at Tenbi for the same reason as Takeru: the girls. Because they're like-minded, they hit it off as friends almost immediately, with Usui often acting as "the brain" in their schemes to see the girls naked. In the manga, he developes a crush on Himegami shortly after meeting her. Whereas in the anime, he isn't partial to anyone in particular. For him, any girl will do.
----
* ADateWithRosiePalms: If there were any doubts about how badly [[LustObject he wants Himegami]], the end of the 61.5 and especially the 66.5 omake chapter, put 'em to rest.
* AllMenArePerverts: Usui's every waking thought is about how to ogle the girls at Tenbi, or take pictures of them for [[PornStash his private stash.]] He was even the one to push for Co-Ed swimming classes and drew up the proposal, just so he could see them in their swimsuits.
* BadassBystander: Usui's sensible enough to know when he's outmatched and knows that his Maken's usage is situational at best. So he leaves the fighting to his friends, but it doesn't stop him from pulling a couple of last minute saves.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Same as Takeru, but to a much lesser extent.
* BromanticFoil: To Takeru (see ThoseTwoGuys and WhatTheHellHero).
* ButtMonkey: Between his inability to get with any of the girls, to repeatedly being punt-kicked or blasted through windows. In one episode during season 2, he and Takeru parody [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket's]] CatchPhrase!
* ChivalrousPervert: {{Played for laughs}} and lampshaded in chapter 56, where he happily takes a punch from [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]] for the sake of [[YouMustBeCold covering Himegami with his shirt!]]
-->'''Usui: (not caring that he's about to be hit)''' [[WorthIt "I have no regrets.]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c056/2.html It's for the sake of you being nude underneath my shirt."]]
* CoolLoser: There's really nothing wrong with him, minus the fact he's a pervert with a one-track mind. Otherwise, Usui's reasonably [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/50/8/ good-looking]], fairly intelligent, and not that bad a guy. So he can't help wondering how Takeru always lucks out with the girls, when he's nearly the exact opposite[[note]]Takeru is just as perverted, but [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy average looking]] and BookDumb[[/note]].
* EroticDream: Usui has two, each time involving Himegami:
** In the 61.5 omake chapter, he dreams of being principal at Tenbi and the changes he'd make to fulfil his sexual fantasies. It ends with him being punished by Himegami, who turns out to be the real principal. She's shown seated on his back, while dressed in fetish garb.
** The one he has in 66.5 has him being the director of a hospital with Himegami as his secretary. While Aki and Love Espada are also featured, the chapter mainly focuses on his lust for Himegami and ends with him [[spoiler: masturbating]] again.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Anytime he comes up with a plan, expect it to fail. The closest he comes to succeeding was when the boys won the pool battle in chapter 10[[note]]anime episode 9[[/note]], except the girls asked Usuya to use his invisibility Maken to deny them their spoils.
* GreenEyedMonster: It's hard to blame him, since Takeru gets all the girls. Usui's only solace is knowing Himegami isn't one of them.
* HopelessSuitor: Ironically, despite his fixation with large breasts, the one he falls for ends up being Himegami. But her attitude towards him ranges from indifference, to sociable at best. Finally {{subverted}} near the end of chapter 65 (see the ShipTease entry).
* NonActionGuy: Aside from one or two scenes, he doesn't get to do much.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Kengo gets the least amount of screentime among the main cast, with most of it being spent contrasting Takeru's [[ChickMagnet endless good fortune]], with Kengo's [[CasanovaWannabe lack thereof.]]
* SexGod: Only [[Funny/MakenKi in his dreams]], as the 66.5 omake chapter has him dream of having Haruko, Aki, and Himegami [[NaughtyNurseOutfit as his nurses aides.]] Usui seduces all three of them at once, then takes his leave after [[ButNowIMustGo a job well-done.]]
* ShipTease: After more than 60 chapters, Himegami finally provides Usui with [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c065/22.html a faint glimmer of hope]] that he just might have a chance with her after all.
-->'''Usui: (groaning)''' "Uuun... So it's no good to take it to the romantic level. But, I'm glad."
-->'''Himegami:''' "Well, I am thankful of you having helped me. The possibility ''[[WillTheyOrWontThey might not]]'' be zero."
-->'''Himegami: (smiles warmly)''' [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c065/23.html "Build your character as a man, Kengo."]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Takeru, as noted in his example section.
* TomatoInTheMirror: In a surprise twist, Hai tells Usui that he's also a [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/65/9/ clone.]] Whether there's any truth to it remains to be seen, but he at least tells Himegami about it, because of his feelings for her.
* WhatTheHellHero: He gives Takeru an earful ''and a knuckle sandwich'' to go with it, when he thought Takeru was responsible for making Inaho cry. The manga version is {{justified}}, due to Takeru treating Inaho callously after finding out she [[spoiler: knew his father]]. [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c007/20.html Kengo sets him straight.]]

[[quoteright:261:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/azuki_shinatsu_large.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MisuzuTogashi (Japanese), Creator/MorganGarrett (English)
A second year student and another member of Maken-ki. Azuki's a tomboy, known for her immense physical strength and indomitable spirit. Plus, she's classified as an '''A rank''' ability user, making her one of the strongest students at the academy. Unbeknownst to her friends, she has a secret obsession with stuffed animals and works at the Macaroon maid cafe, after school hours.
----
* ActionGirl:
* AcademicAthlete: At first, you might assume she's just [[DumbJock a jock]], but she's [[GeniusBruiser an honors student.]]
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: In the chapter 37 bonus story, Kimi asks the girls what kind of guys they like. Azuki and Chacha both say they prefer strong ones. Except compared to the two of them, most guys would be considered "weak". Meaning, the guys at Tenbi are shit out of luck as far as getting with either of them.
* AmazonianBeauty: She's one of the tallest, girls at the academy, with her toned physique displaying her athleticism. It's half the reason Kai Kuragasa [[AmazonChaser has the hots for her.]]
* BestHerToBedHer: While it's one of the general rules at Tenbi, in regard to dating its female students, Azuki is the only one anyone's ever tried it with. And after [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c003/32.html Kai's loss]], no one's tried it again.
* [[IndifferentBeauty Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: She's not overly concerned with her bust size and has said she finds it troublesome (chapter 4), since they hinder her ability to fight. Though in her thought bubble, she admitted it also made it hard to find cute bras in her size.
* TheBigGuy: Due to her natural athleticism, she's physically the strongest among the main cast. She was able to hold her own against Kai, without her Maken, despite his massive size advantage being augmented by ''his Maken''. In terms of raw power and physical strength, Azuki is only surpassed by the likes of Hoshii and Minori -- [[SingleStrokeBattle who dropped Kai in a single blow.]]
* BoobsOfSteel: She's an '''F-Cup'''. As for the power, see the preceding entry.
* BoyishShortHair: Hers is cut short in a slightly mussed hairdo.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: See the GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals entry.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Azuki is physically strong enough to take on most opponents ''without'' her Maken, can punch with enough force to cause craters on impact, and is just as resilient. The girl is a powerhouse.
* CloseRangeCombatant: She's the academy's unarmed combat specialist and one of the few martial artists in the series, which made her a natural fit for her Maken, "Hawk" (see the LightningBruiser entry).
* CuteBruiser: Azuki is considered to be one of the hottest girls at the school. The only reason she doesn't have any takers (except Kai), is because [[BestHerToBedHer they'd have to be able to defeat her first]], and they know there's virtually no chance of it happening.
* DefeatMeansRespect: Despite winning her match with Yan-Min, Azuki admitted it was only because Yan-Min [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/7.html had held back.]] So Azuki demanded she revisit Tenbi so they could have [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/8.html a proper rematch.]]
* DontYouDarePityMe: Lampshaded between chapters 26 and 27 when Takeru and the other Maken-ki members try to raise money so Azuki can come with them on their summer training trip. Himegami tries to tell them that Azuki wouldn't want the money, if she thought they were doing it out of pity. So they convince her to [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c027/22.html take it]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c027/23.html by making it a loan.]]
* FingerlessGloves: She always wears a pair of fight gloves with her school uniform.
* FirstKiss: By accident (episode 9, season 2), when she slipped on the hem of Takaki's [[spoiler: wedding dress]]. She grabbed onto Takaki's shoulders to regain her balance, and wound up planting one on her, on the lips; causing Takaki to [[LuminescentBlush swoon]] [[{{fainting}} and pass out.]]
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: So much, that her introductory scene had her duelling against Kinua [[SeriousBusiness over a teddy bear!]] Kinua loses, so she spites Azuki by casually letting it slip that Azuki [[http://makenki.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ep_278032_1.jpg cuddles in bed with it.]]
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: In episode 9 (season 2) she ends up [[CrashIntoHello running into Takaki]], after a fight with a bunch of thugs. Then panics when she sees who she knocked over. So she pulls [[CommissarCap her cap]][[note]]taken from one of the thugs, along with his jacket since it was raining[[/note]] down over her eyes so Takaki wouldn't recognize her, and apologizes. Except it worked ''[[GoneHorriblyRight too well]]'', causing Takaki to think Azuki was a guy and fall in love with her!
* IllKillYou: Takeru was already on thin ice for having interfered in her match with Kai. So catching her working at the Macaroon only made it worse. Azuki told him that if he breathed a word to anyone else, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c005/17.html she'd end him.]]
* KickChick: Kicks are her primary means of attack and they're powerful enough to knock Kai unconscious ''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c010/28.html without]]'' her Maken. During her battle against Yan-Min, they were [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c016/9.html near equally]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c016/11.html matched]] in proficiency, until Yan-Min released her Jingu and activated "Reilii" to gain the upperhand. And in chapter 48, she was able to hold her own [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/9.html against Otohime's mind slaves.]]
* LightningBruiser: She's already formidable to begin with, but once she activates Hawk, her attack power, durability, and her speed all increase dramatically.
* {{Meido}}: After school, she works at the Macaroon maid cafe, where she serves as one of their waitresses. It's one of her guilty pleasures, [[RuleOfFunny which guaranteed that her friends showed up]] [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin during one of her shifts.]]
* NotSoDifferent: She and Himegami have the same fixation with stuffed animals and cute cuddly objects. But she has more in common with Yan-Min... not that either of them will admit it.
* OneOfTheBoys: She's well-known for being [[AmazonianBeauty one of the toughest girls]] at the academy, so it came as a surprise to everyone that she secretly liked stuffed animals, and worked at the Macaroon. Takeru and Usui also cracked on her in chapter 10, when they found out that she sews too:
-->'''Usui: ([[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]])''' "Azuki sempai... are ''you'' sewing...?"
-->'''Takeru: (snidely)''' "Once again, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c010/5.html trying to be a 'girl'."]]
-->'''Azuki: (offended)''' [[WhatTheHellHero "You have a problem!?]] What do you mean, being "like" a girl!!"
* PerpetualPoverty: {{Downplayed}}. Since she lives on campus, Azuki sends most of her income back home to support her kid brother and their mom, who suffers from an unspecified illness.
* PointlessBandAid: Azuki always has one across the bridge of her nose for... whatever reason.
* RedheadedHero: Hers is crimson.
* TheRival: To both Kinua Garret and [[Anime/ChineseGirl Yan-Min.]]
** During their duel in the first episode, Kinua accuses Azuki of stealing her stuffed bear from her. Azuki replies that she won it fair and square, just before defeating Kinua again. But Kinua gets even with her at the introduction ceremony by telling everyone about Azuki's prized possession.
** It didn't take long for tensions to flare between her and Yan-Min either, due to the latter insulting Maken-ki by calling them weak. They nearly come to blows, prompting Chacha and Kimi to joke that those weren't [[BelligerentSexualTension the only sparks flying.]]
-->'''Chacha: (cheerfully)''' "Wow! Azuki's already made [[TheRival a new mortal enemy!"]]
-->'''Kimi: (dreamily, eyes sparkling)''' "Yes, and maybe they'll discover [[SchoolgirlLesbians forbidden love."]]
-->'''Azuki and Yan-Min: (in unison)''' "Uh... no we WON'T!!"
** In chapter 9 of the manga, they [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c009/6.html take turns outdoing each other]] in gym class, ending with the three of them [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c009/7.html staring each other down]] while emitting dark aura.
** Their rivalry comes to a head in chapter 15. Because they were so closely matched in proficiency, it ultimately became a battle of attrition spanning two chapters. Azuki wins, but later admits that it was only because Yan-Min had been holding back on her.
* SuperSpeed: With Hawk activated, her speed is greatly enhanced. In season 2, it's shown that she can sprint across the sky, as though it were solid ground, and can cover large distances in seconds.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's tough as nails and excels at unarmed combat, but she secretly likes stuffed animals and enjoys working at [[{{meido}} the Macaroon]], where she uses [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c005/16.html a girlish flirt pose]] to greet customers.
* WhyWontYouDie: Yan-Min was surprised Azuki regained consciousness so soon after their fight and could still talk. Which made her wonder how it was even possible.
-->'''Yan-Min: (bemused)''' "Are you some kind of monster? [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c018/5.html It's like there's nothing that can kill you, ne..."]]
* TheWorfEffect: In order to establish Hoshii as a powerhouse, she [[OneHitKO one-shots Azuki]] during the pole toppling contest - along with the following caption:
-->'''page caption:''' [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c066/25.html "This power... a strong enemy is confirmed!!"]]
* WorthyOpponent: She was openly acknowledged as such by Yan-Min, near the end of their match.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Only while she's at work, where her maid uniform includes a pair of white thigh-highs. Making her a '''Class A''' example.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Misato}} (Japanese), Creator/AlexisTipton (English)
The shy darkhaired girl, who loves to read manga and write fanfiction. Despite her youthful appearance, she's a part of the student council and serves as their secretary. She's also best friends with Chacha Akaza, whom she looks up to as a big sister figure, so they're almost always in each other's company.
----
* ACupAngst: Not nearly to the same extent as Himegami, but being reminded of Haruko's, Minori's, and Ms. Aki's [[GagBoobs massive endowments]] was enough to send both of them into [[CornerOfWoe a fit of depression.]]
* AmbiguouslyGay: She's heavy into [[YaoiFangirl yaoi]] and [[YuriGenre yuri manga]], and admitted to secretly practicing bondage techniques to use on other girls (chapter 33).
* BadassAdorable: A shy girl whose power is limited only by her imagination, based on her love of manga.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Chacha was initially drawn to Kimi out curiosity over why she was sitting by herself. But when she noticed the manga Kimi was reading, Chacha recognized as one of her favorites. Kimi was surprised to meet [[{{otaku}} a fellow otaku]] and the two of them bonded over their mutual interest.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After she and the others finally learn the truth about Himegami's past and her fated showdown with [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]], Kimi literally sums up the shounen genre:
-->'''Kimi: (teary eyed smile)''' "Boo hoo... The young girl who awaits a ruthless fate: to face [[PowerLevels an overpowered enemy.]] And [[TrueCompanions comrades who come together]]... It's a development worthy of [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/60/10/ a classic shonen manga."]]
* CompanionCube: You will NEVER see her without some sort of manga, not even at the beach.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: She cosplays as [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/14.html Alena]] from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'', during the manga convention in chapter 60. And she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c070/22.html wore a witch's costume]] for the Magical School Quiz! match in chapters 70-73.
* CovertPervert: It turns out Kimi is secretly into bondage and has even practiced a few of the techniques. The one she's most interested in trying is the "tortoise shell", which she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c033/7.html demonstrates on Takaki and Inaho]], by binding both of them in seconds flat.
* TheCutie: A shy soft-spoken spoken girl, who's short and looks young enough to be someone's kid sister? Yep.
* GamerChick: It turns out she's a pro at online quizes, when Hai tells her player ranking places her in the Top 2 at Tenbi and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c070/20.html in the Top 10 nationwide.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: More like purplish blue, but close enough.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Comic Star allows Kimi to [[RealityWarper alter whatever she writes, or draws on, in any way she desires.]] Such as during the cosplay disaster, where she drew speed lines around Chacha's body; simultaneously giving her [[PowerOfFlight powers of flight]] and [[SuperSpeed enhanced speed.]] Which enabled Chacha to avoid gattling gun fire. Then wrote the words "rock hard" to turn Chacha's boxing glove into a giant block of cement, so she could dispense justice. Put simply: Comic Star gives her the creative powers of a mangaka!
* {{Otaku}}: A rare female version. Kimi loves manga so much that her Maken ability ([[RealityWarper "Comic Star"]]) is based on it! In addition: she also likes anime, writes fanfiction in her spare time, and is also into cosplaying.
* PeekABangs: Kimi's hair is always styled so her left eye is concealed.
* RealityWarper: Which is what Comic Star effectively amounts to, as previously noted above.
* ShrinkingViolet: Prior to meeting Chacha, Kimi was too shy to make friends, so she spent her time reading alone. Since then, she's become open about her interests.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The subs can't seem to decide whether it's "Kimi," or "Kimmy".
* YaoiFangirl: Kimi seems to favor same sex pairings of both persuasions. In the manga, BL novels and manga are her favorite reading material. While in the anime, she sounded hopeful that Azuki and Yan-Min's rivalry would develop into [[YuriFan girls love.]]
* ZettaiRyouiki: She always wears a pair of purple and lavender striped thigh-high stockings with her school uniform; making her a '''Class A''' example.

----
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: See the related entry in Azuki's section.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She immediately stands out from the rest of the cast, due to her smooth caramel complexion, {{green eyes}}, and white hair which she keeps fashioned in a sidetail. But all that's known, is she's [[ForeignExchangeStudent a foreigner.]]
* BestFriend: She and Kimi are close enough that they may as well be sisters, with Chacha being [[CoolBigSis the elder one.]]
* BirdsOfAFeather: See the related entry in Kimi's section.
* BoobsOfSteel: She ties with Haruko as an '''H-Cup''' and yes, she's definitely got the power that comes with 'em.
* CharlesAtlasSuperPower: Noted under the CuteBruiser entry.
* CoolBigSis: To Kimi, who looks up her. Likewise, Chacha looks out for her and always has Kimi's best interest at heart. They get along so well that they're virtually inseparable.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: She's as passionate about cosplay as Kimi is about manga. Chacha gets to strut her stuff, during the manga convention in chapter 60, where she [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/60/19/ cosplays as Manya]] from ''Dragon Quest IV''.
* CuteBruiser: Strong enough to effortlessly split a table in half during an arm wrestling match versus an opponent twice her own size. And in chapter 44, she was able to leap over 10ft. in the air while hefting a giant can of Red Bell that'd been filled with boulders!
* DarkskinnedBlond: Noted in the AmbiguouslyBrown entry.
* DoubleEntendre: While they were part-timing at the Macaroon, she told Takeru that if he wanted milk he could get it from Haruko - by groping her, then [[spoiler: pulling her blouse open]]!
* FeminineWomenCanCook: It turns out, she's a talented seamstress. which she uses to create her own cosplay costumes. She also designed Kimi's costume for the Tenbi Cosplay Convention.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: Confirmed to be a foreigner, but it's never specified from which country.
* FunPersonified:

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Seen at the beach party in episode 13. When the girls started getting tipsy and asked for another round, Chacha [[HammerSpace whips out a bunch of bottles at once]] and starts handing 'em out.
* NoNudityTaboo: She's no exhibitionist, but she's not overly concerned about anyone seeing her naked either.
* {{Otaku}}: She enjoys cosplay, but says she doesn't get to do it often, since there aren't many characters she can cosplay as.
* PerpetualSmiler: Even [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c044/8.html in the middle of a life-and-death struggle]] (chapter 44), when she and the others were rallying to protect Takaki from Gouken Yamato.
* SkinshipGrope: Chacha seems to [[FunPersonified get a kick]] out of groping Haruko, which she's done during chapter 26 (noted in the DoubleEntendre entry) and did it again while they were bathing in chapter 33, causing Uruchi's nostrils to spurt blood.

[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uruchi_minaya.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaFuruya (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)
A first year student at Tenbi. She's a fledgling member of the academy's security division and aspires to gain acceptance onto the student council, in order to be with her secret crush: Haruko Amaya. So she tends to take any task she's been given far too seriously, believing she has to fulfill them on her own. Also, because of her feelings for Haruko, she harbors jealousy towards Takeru for being too close to her.
----
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The flashback in chapter 6 shows she used to be bullied, until Haruko came to her defense. Uruchi was so awestruck by Haruko, [[RescueRomance that she became smitten with her]] and decided to become just like her. So she joined the school's disciplinary committee, as part of their junior division.
* CharacterDevelopment: Episode 6 (season 2). After being tasked with observing Haruko for a day, she finally realized Haruko was in love with Takeru, and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy reluctantly accepted it.]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: Usually, she only has eyes for Haruko. But the sight of [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Love Espada]] bending over onstage, in a PlayboyBunny [[FetishFuel costume]], was too provocative ''even for her'' to ignore. Uruchi got a nosebleed and had to be snapped out of it.
* {{Fangirl}}: Uruchi's admiration of Haruko goes beyond fangirling, she openly ''[[EvenTheGirlsWantHer fan-]]'''''''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/18.html GASMS]]''''' over her.
* GreenEyedMonster: She doesn't ''hate'' Takeru, and even gains a bit of respect for him after their first assignment together. She just doesn't like the fact that he's so close to her crush.
* HopelessSuitor: Haruko has no idea that Uruchi is in love with her, because she only has eyes for Takeru.
* ImagineSpot: In episode 6 (season 2) she has several, ranging from Haruko licking a speck of cream off her cheek, to imagining Haruko naked with her arms outstretched, encouraging her to leap into them.
* ImmodestOrgasm: Courtesy of Yuuka's "special training". She strapped Uruchi down in front of a brush studded spinning wheel, with her arms bound behind her back and her legs spread eagle. After a few minutes in, she hit the big "O".
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Noted in the CharacterDevelopment entry.
* [[StraightGay Lesbian]]: Like Takaki, she's neither butch, or overly feminine. But the series makes it clear that she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c044/5.html has a lady boner for Haruko.]]
-->'''Uruchi: (at''' [[spoiler: Gouken]]''')''' "You son of a bitch! How '''[[ThisIsUnforgivable DARE]]''' you rip off Haruko-sempai's clothes?! '''THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO [[LustObject RIP OFF HER CLOTHES]], [[SchoolgirlLesbians IS ME!!"]]'''
-->'''Haruko: (from just off-panel)''' "Huh??"
* {{Nosebleed}}: It happens to her several times:
** The first time being during the hot springs trip in chapter 4, when Himegami lifted the top of Haruko's bikini. Which gave Uruchi an eyeful of her gargantuan rack, up close. In the [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c004/20.html bottom-right panel]], you can see she's covering her nose.
** She gets another one in chapter 29, when she hears about [[ThanksForTheMammary what Haruko does]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c029/8.html in her sleep.]]
** Her nose spurted from watching [[SkinshipGrope Chacha grope Haruko]] right in front of her, [[HotSpringsEpisode while they were bathing]], near the end of chapter 33.
** And in chapter 70, her nose started trickling while staring at Love Espada's [[ShesGotLegs fishnet covered legs]] and camel toe.
* SayItWithHearts: Except in Uruchi's case, it was more like shouting it while [[JizzedInMyPants practically jizzing herself:]]
-->'''Uruchi:''' ''([[WingdingEyes with heart-shaped eyes]])'' "She's strong enough to handle one of the Eight Original Maken... You're so amazing, Haruko-sempai ♥!! So BEAUTIFUL! [[LustObject So SEXY!!]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/18.html I LOVE YOU!!"]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Yuuka knew Uruchi was using her feelings for Haruko as her impetus for enduring her training, and knew [[HopelessSuitor nothing good would come of it.]] So she gives Uruchi a final test, by having her follow and observe Haruko for an entire day without being seen. During which, Uruchi saw how much Haruko was in love with Takeru; which made her realize she'd been projecting her own feelings onto her. When she reports back to Takaki and Yuuka, she tearfully admits she wasn't mature enough to become one of them. Takaki and Yuuka smile and tell her that she's passed, [[CharacterDevelopment having come to the realization on her own.]]
* SempaiKohai: She's Haruko's junior classman.
* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: Quite literally, after hearing about how Haruko groped the other girls in her sleep, and [[DidTheyOrDidntThey the incident with Takaki.]] Uruchi was the lone exception, so she was disappointed that Haruko excluded her[[note]]This differs from the manga's version of the scene (chapter 29), which showed she was more than [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c029/8.html happy to imagine what had happened]]; while having [[{{nosebleed}} a nosebleed]][[/note]]:
-->'''Uruchi: (sadly)''' "I feel really left out. I didn't get groped, molested, ''or fondled''."
-->'''Haruko: (smiles sheepishly)''' "Is there any way we can talk about something else?"
* TearsOfJoy: Seen when Takaki tells her owning up to her immaturity was the first sign that she'd begun to grow up and said she had passed the first phase of her training.
* TookALevelInBadass: By the conclusion of the Okino Island arc, she's gone from an ineffectual junior classman, to being willing to help fight [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Directed towards Himegami in chapter 60, for thinking she had to face [[spoiler: her uncle]] on her own, in order to protect her friends. Uruchi openly [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/8.html objects by calling Himegami selfish]] for trying to exclude them, and tells her that it was no longer just her fight.

A third year student and the Academy's {{student council president}}, which also makes her the head of their security division by proxy. She's known for her strict no-nonsense attitude and is a stickler for enforcing proper discipline at the school. Because [[TheCaptain her position is administrative]], it's rare to see her participate in battle. Therefore, she often delegates responsibility to Haruko.

* ButtMonkey: With emphasis on [[PantyShot her butt]] (see the GoofyPrintUnderwear entry).
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: Takaki implied Haruko had sex with her in her sleep[[note]]see the related entry in Haruko's section[[/note]], further implicated by the accompanying flashback and Haruko's subsequent reaction. Though it was never confirmed whether or not they did.
* DoesNotLikeMen: {{Justified}}, as chapter 48 revealed she was traumatized after she [[spoiler: would've been raped by Ouken]], which [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/16.html left her androphobic.]] She became a lesbian as a result.
* FirstKiss: By accident, between her and Azuki (noted in her example section).
* FirstNameBasis: She and Yuuka refer to each other by their given names, with the addition of honorifics (i.e. "Yuuka-san").
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Takaki secretly wears animal print panties. At least, it ''would be'' a secret if Yuuka [[RunningGag didn't keep flipping up her skirt]], to show everyone what she's wearing underneath.
* HomoeroticSubtext: Between her and Yuuka (refer to the related section [[Radar/MakenKi on the radar page.]])
* LadyOfWar: When forced to fight, she'll let down her hair and remove her glasses before [[TranquilFury calmly]] drawing Habaya - an enchanted bow which fires [[LightEmUp light arrows.]]
* [[StraightGay Lesbian]]: The manga established her fear of men early on. Still, you'd have never known she was into other girls because of it, had it not been for Otohime outing her.
* LettingHerHairDown: Done near the end of chapter 48, when she [[GlassesPull removes her glasses]] and undoes her braid just before unsealing her Maken.
* LightEmUp: Habaya fires arrows of light that will relentlessly pursue the target, so long as they've touched any of the crystals created by the bow. However, it cannot be used continuously, due to the vast amount of Element it requires.
* LovelyAngels: With Yuuka, who's said to be her partner.
* {{Meganekko}}: It's readily apparent by her ruby-rimmed specs that she's the [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c006/8.html no-nonsense]], [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c012/6.html intellectual type.]] And as an honors student on top of being the student council president, she expects the others to perform up to standards.
* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: {{Inverted}} in episode 13. While the other girls were shyly mortified by Haruko molesting them in her sleep, as was Haruko [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone once she realized what she'd done]], Takaki was content to lay back and enjoy it.
* NotSoAboveItAll: So long as it's away from the school, that is. Like the time she got plastered along with everyone else at the beach party, in the first OVA episode.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield:
* RapeAsBackstory: {{Zigzagged}}. In chapter 48, Otohime reveals Takaki's fear of men stems from when she had been scouted by Kamigari for her talents. But when she refused to join them, Ouken [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/14.html thought she was too prideful]] and intended to punish her by taking her as one of his mistresses. [[spoiler: Yuuka saved Takaki by taking her place]].
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Kimi convinced Takaki to cosplay for her at the previous Manga Con, which she reluctantly went along with, until a male attendee [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/15.html got too close for comfort.]] He tried to take photos under her skirt, [[DudeNotFunny causing her to]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/16.html stomp on him]], due to her phobia. Even though Aki and the others were able to calm her down, she's refused to ever attend the convention again.
* StudentCouncilPresident: As noted in her character summation.
* SupportingLeader: As part of the supporting cast, she doesn't get as much screentime, or action, as the others. {{Justified}} since her position at the school and [[BigGood her role in the story]] doesn't allow for it.
* TranquilFury: Seen only when she's forced to unseal her Maken.

[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuka_amato.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsumiTakamori (Japanese), Creator/JamieMarchi (English)
A third year student, like Takaki, and her close personal friend. Yuuka also serves as a member of the security division, where she keeps tabs on their budget, and with incidents requiring their attention around the school. In short, she's the head of Intel, a task befitting her skills as [[{{ninja}} a ninja.]] But when she isn't busy, she spends her time pushing Takaki's buttons, which only ''she'' can get away with.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay:There's been subtle indications that she may have feelings for Furan (assuming they're not already involved), such as when she agreed with Uruchi, in chapter 37, while the girls were discussing the kinds of guys they like:
-->'''Uruchi:''' ''(while drunk)'' "I think real love isn't restricted to just having relationships ''[[SchoolgirlLesbians with]]'' '''''[[DoesNotLikeMen MEN!!]]'''''"
-->'''Yuuka:''' ''(also drunk)'' [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c037/9.html "Yep! I feel the same way!"]]
* BadassInDistress: She gets captured by Otohime, at the end of chapter 69. She was expecting Tenbi to try to find her new lair and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c069/22.html set a trap in advance.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Would you believe that ditzy girl who smiles all the time possesses one of the original 8 Maken? Because she does, and it has [[DeathIsCheap one of the most broken abilities]] in the series.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Delivered during her fight commentary of the pool battle in episode 9:
-->'''Yuuka: (over the mic)''' "Ms. Aki just took out [[BitCharacter some random guy.]] But he's not a main character, [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass so who cares?"]]
* DeathIsCheap: Makaru is one of the original 8 Maken and allows its user to [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c057/ call a soul back from the Underworld.]] It can also heal injuries, allowing the user's mind and body to replenish as needed. Seen when she uses it to bring [[spoiler: Himegami]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c058/7.html back to life.]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Seen during the flashback in chapter 48, when Yuuka trades places with Takaki.
-->'''Yuuka: (soothingly)''' "Don't worry... it's okay. I'm protecting you because [[HomoeroticSubtext you're my important person]], [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/17.html Furan."]]
* {{Dominatrix}}: It seems to be part of her ninja training, since [[spoiler: her older sister, Tomika, is one too]].
** Near the end of episode 2 (season 2), Azuki defeats the thief who'd stolen Haruko's Maken and her memories. Yuuka shows up at that point and tells Azuki she'll take it from there. The camera pans up her body to show she's in [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1599752 a leather outfit, armed with a whip.]] Followed by a montage sequence of Yuuka [[ATasteOfTheLash punishing the thief]], [[LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt making her moan in ecstasy]] and beg for more.
** She wears the same outfit during the second stage of Uruchi's "special training" (episode 6, season 2). Yuuka puts her through different bondage devices, until Uruchi [[spoiler: has her first orgasm]].
* EyesAlwaysShut: It's habit for her, along with [[PerpetualSmiler her perpetual smile]] and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/15.html steepling her fingers]], which creates the impression that she's always [[TheGadfly planning mischief.]] Among the few times she'll open them is either [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c057/5.html during dire situations]], or [[spoiler: when she's alone with Furan]].
* FingerTenting: Almost always, as previously noted.
* FirstNameBasis: She and Yuuka refer to each other by their given names, albeit with the addition of honorifics. Yuuka reserves it for whenever they're alone. Around the others, she addresses her as either "President", or "Takaki-san".
* TheGadfly: She's made a hobby of trolling her friends, which [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/17.html Akaya]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/35.html and Takaki]] both noted during the pool hockey incident.
** Minori arranged for Maken-ki's trip to the island by using their club's expense. Except Yuuka turned the tables on her by revealing she'd had the funds withdrawn from ''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c028/10.html Minori's account.]]''
** And she let Takeru pour his heart out over [[spoiler: Himegami]]'s sacrifice... even though she already used Makaru to bring her back to life. When he asks why she didn't tell him, she said [[ItAmusedMe she just wanted to see]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c058/8.html how he'd react.]]
-->'''Takeru: (with [[OcularGushers waterfall tears]])''' "A {{sadist}}... this person is '''[[{{troll}} A SADIST...]]'''"
* GadgeteerGenius: Guess who set all the anti-pervert traps around the dorm Takeru, Haruko, Inaho, and Himegami are sharing? And in chapter 33, she does it again by foiling Takeru and Usui's attempts to peek on the girls, while they were bathing outdoors.
* HairAntennae: She has two strands of hair the curve forward near the front of her head.
* HeroicSacrifice: After Otohime lies, to make it sound as if Yuuka had abandoned Takaki[[note]]see the RapeAsBackstory entry in Takaki's section[[/note]] in order to save herself, it's shown that Yuuka saved Takaki, by taking her place as Ouken's mistress.
* HomoeroticSubtext: Between her and Takaki.
* IntimateHealing: At the start of chapter 57, there's a brief flashback of her using Makaru to heal Takaki, with Yuuka's hand [[spoiler: [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c057/ between her legs]]]]. Takaki's back is arched, while blushing and [[LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt biting down on her finger]], [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything as light radiates from where Yuuka is touching her.]]
* LovelyAngels: With Takaki, who's said to be her partner.
* {{Ninja}}: During chapter 33, Haruko explains that the women of the Amado Family have served the Rikojous for generations, as their private oniwaban. Yuuka is good quieting meetings with a few well aimed kunai, and she's capable [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c054/10.html as an advanced scout.]]
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield:
* PerpetualSmiler: You can literally count the times that she ''isn't smiling'' on one hand.
* RapeAsBackstory: {{Played straight}}, when she took Tataki's place as [[spoiler: Ouken]]'s mistress, in order to save her. It's a wonder how she recovered from it and remains smiling afterward.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Seen during the OVA, when Haruko unintentionally shoves Takeru onto Takaki, causing him to accidentally kiss her cheek. The upper half of Yuuka's face becomes [[FaceFramedInShadow cast in shadow]] so only a single glowing red eye can be seen, along with [[SlasherSmile her smile]], as she and Takaki synchronize and deck him together. Making it [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness the only time she's ever become angry]], possibly as a sign of jealousy.
* SayItWithHearts: Seen when Takaki briefly overcame her phobia to defend her classmates. Yuuka smiles and blushes:
-->'''Yuuka:''' ''(at Takaki)'' "President... [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/20.html you're so cool!]] ♥"
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Seen only when she's [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c069/20.html in ninja garb.]]
* SuperSpeed: As a ninja and an advanced scout, it's to be expected. In chapter 54, her speed was great enough that she was able to catch up to Takaki, Azuki, and Inaho in seconds, despite their group having a significant headstart by minutes. And in chapter 69, she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c069/19.html demonstrated her speed again]] while shadowing Otohime's group.
* {{Troll}}: Noted in the [[TheGadfly Gadfly]] entry.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Hers is indigo.

[[folder:Kengo Usui]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kengo.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatoshiTsuruoka (Japanese), Creator/ScottFreeman in season 1, Creator/AnthonyBowling in season 2 (English)
Another first year student, who enrolled at Tenbi for the same reason as Takeru: the girls. Because they're like-minded, they hit it off as friends almost immediately, with Usui often acting as "the brain" in their schemes to see the girls naked. In the manga, he developes a crush on Himegami shortly after meeting her. Whereas in the anime, he isn't partial to anyone in particular. For him, any girl will do.
----
* ADateWithRosiePalms: If there were any doubts about how badly [[LustObject he wants Himegami]], the end of the 61.5 and especially the 66.5 omake chapter, put 'em to rest.
* AllMenArePerverts: Usui's every waking thought is about how to ogle the girls at Tenbi, or take pictures of them for [[PornStash his private stash.]] He was even the one to push for Co-Ed swimming classes and drew up the proposal, just so he could see them in their swimsuits.
* BadassBystander: Usui's sensible enough to know when he's outmatched and knows that his Maken's usage is situational at best. So he leaves the fighting to his friends, but it doesn't stop him from pulling a couple of last minute saves.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Same as Takeru, but to a much lesser extent.
* BromanticFoil: To Takeru (see ThoseTwoGuys and WhatTheHellHero).
* ButtMonkey: Between his inability to get with any of the girls, to repeatedly being punt-kicked or blasted through windows. In one episode during season 2, he and Takeru parody [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket's]] CatchPhrase!
* ChivalrousPervert: {{Played for laughs}} and lampshaded in chapter 56, where he happily takes a punch from [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]] for the sake of [[YouMustBeCold covering Himegami with his shirt!]]
-->'''Usui: (not caring that he's about to be hit)''' [[WorthIt "I have no regrets.]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c056/2.html It's for the sake of you being nude underneath my shirt."]]
* CoolLoser: There's really nothing wrong with him, minus the fact he's a pervert with a one-track mind. Otherwise, Usui's reasonably [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/50/8/ good-looking]], fairly intelligent, and not that bad a guy. So he can't help wondering how Takeru always lucks out with the girls, when he's nearly the exact opposite[[note]]Takeru is just as perverted, but [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy average looking]] and BookDumb[[/note]].
* EroticDream: Usui has two, each time involving Himegami:
** In the 61.5 omake chapter, he dreams of being principal at Tenbi and the changes he'd make to fulfil his sexual fantasies. It ends with him being punished by Himegami, who turns out to be the real principal. She's shown seated on his back, while dressed in fetish garb.
** The one he has in 66.5 has him being the director of a hospital with Himegami as his secretary. While Aki and Love Espada are also featured, the chapter mainly focuses on his lust for Himegami and ends with him [[spoiler: masturbating]] again.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Anytime he comes up with a plan, expect it to fail. The closest he comes to succeeding was when the boys won the pool battle in chapter 10[[note]]anime episode 9[[/note]], except the girls asked Usuya to use his invisibility Maken to deny them their spoils.
* GreenEyedMonster: It's hard to blame him, since Takeru gets all the girls. Usui's only solace is knowing Himegami isn't one of them.
* HopelessSuitor: Ironically, despite his fixation with large breasts, the one he falls for ends up being Himegami. But her attitude towards him ranges from indifference, to sociable at best. Finally {{subverted}} near the end of chapter 65 (see the ShipTease entry).
* NonActionGuy: Aside from one or two scenes, he doesn't get to do much.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Kengo gets the least amount of screentime among the main cast, with most of it being spent contrasting Takeru's [[ChickMagnet endless good fortune]], with Kengo's [[CasanovaWannabe lack thereof.]]
* SexGod: Only [[Funny/MakenKi in his dreams]], as the 66.5 omake chapter has him dream of having Haruko, Aki, and Himegami [[NaughtyNurseOutfit as his nurses aides.]] Usui seduces all three of them at once, then takes his leave after [[ButNowIMustGo a job well-done.]]
* ShipTease: After more than 60 chapters, Himegami finally provides Usui with [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c065/22.html a faint glimmer of hope]] that he just might have a chance with her after all.
-->'''Usui: (groaning)''' "Uuun... So it's no good to take it to the romantic level. But, I'm glad."
-->'''Himegami:''' "Well, I am thankful of you having helped me. The possibility ''[[WillTheyOrWontThey might not]]'' be zero."
-->'''Himegami: (smiles warmly)''' [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c065/23.html "Build your character as a man, Kengo."]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Takeru, as noted in his example section.
* TomatoInTheMirror: In a surprise twist, Hai tells Usui that he's also a [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/65/9/ clone.]] Whether there's any truth to it remains to be seen, but he at least tells Himegami about it, because of his feelings for her.
* WhatTheHellHero: He gives Takeru an earful ''and a knuckle sandwich'' to go with it, when he thought Takeru was responsible for making Inaho cry. The manga version is {{justified}}, due to Takeru treating Inaho callously after finding out she [[spoiler: knew his father]]. [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c007/20.html Kengo sets him straight.]]

[[folder:Azuki Shinatsu]]
[[quoteright:261:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/azuki_shinatsu_large.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MisuzuTogashi (Japanese), Creator/MorganGarrett (English)
A second year student and another member of Maken-ki. Azuki's a tomboy, known for her immense physical strength and indomitable spirit. Plus, she's classified as an '''A rank''' ability user, making her one of the strongest students at the academy. Unbeknownst to her friends, she has a secret obsession with stuffed animals and works at the Macaroon maid cafe, after school hours.
----
* ActionGirl:
* AcademicAthlete: At first, you might assume she's just [[DumbJock a jock]], but she's [[GeniusBruiser an honors student.]]
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: In the chapter 37 bonus story, Kimi asks the girls what kind of guys they like. Azuki and Chacha both say they prefer strong ones. Except compared to the two of them, most guys would be considered "weak". Meaning, the guys at Tenbi are shit out of luck as far as getting with either of them.
* AmazonianBeauty: She's one of the tallest, girls at the academy, with her toned physique displaying her athleticism. It's half the reason Kai Kuragasa [[AmazonChaser has the hots for her.]]
* BestHerToBedHer: While it's one of the general rules at Tenbi, in regard to dating its female students, Azuki is the only one anyone's ever tried it with. And after [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c003/32.html Kai's loss]], no one's tried it again.
* [[IndifferentBeauty Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: She's not overly concerned with her bust size and has said she finds it troublesome (chapter 4), since they hinder her ability to fight. Though in her thought bubble, she admitted it also made it hard to find cute bras in her size.
* TheBigGuy: Due to her natural athleticism, she's physically the strongest among the main cast. She was able to hold her own against Kai, without her Maken, despite his massive size advantage being augmented by ''his Maken''. In terms of raw power and physical strength, Azuki is only surpassed by the likes of Hoshii and Minori -- [[SingleStrokeBattle who dropped Kai in a single blow.]]
* BoobsOfSteel: She's an '''F-Cup'''. As for the power, see the preceding entry.
* BoyishShortHair: Hers is cut short in a slightly mussed hairdo.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: See the GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals entry.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Azuki is physically strong enough to take on most opponents ''without'' her Maken, can punch with enough force to cause craters on impact, and is just as resilient. The girl is a powerhouse.
* CloseRangeCombatant: She's the academy's unarmed combat specialist and one of the few martial artists in the series, which made her a natural fit for her Maken, "Hawk" (see the LightningBruiser entry).
* CuteBruiser: Azuki is considered to be one of the hottest girls at the school. The only reason she doesn't have any takers (except Kai), is because [[BestHerToBedHer they'd have to be able to defeat her first]], and they know there's virtually no chance of it happening.
* DefeatMeansRespect: Despite winning her match with Yan-Min, Azuki admitted it was only because Yan-Min [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/7.html had held back.]] So Azuki demanded she revisit Tenbi so they could have [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/8.html a proper rematch.]]
* DontYouDarePityMe: Lampshaded between chapters 26 and 27 when Takeru and the other Maken-ki members try to raise money so Azuki can come with them on their summer training trip. Himegami tries to tell them that Azuki wouldn't want the money, if she thought they were doing it out of pity. So they convince her to [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c027/22.html take it]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c027/23.html by making it a loan.]]
* FingerlessGloves: She always wears a pair of fight gloves with her school uniform.
* FirstKiss: By accident (episode 9, season 2), when she slipped on the hem of Takaki's [[spoiler: wedding dress]]. She grabbed onto Takaki's shoulders to regain her balance, and wound up planting one on her, on the lips; causing Takaki to [[LuminescentBlush swoon]] [[{{fainting}} and pass out.]]
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: So much, that her introductory scene had her duelling against Kinua [[SeriousBusiness over a teddy bear!]] Kinua loses, so she spites Azuki by casually letting it slip that Azuki [[http://makenki.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ep_278032_1.jpg cuddles in bed with it.]]
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: In episode 9 (season 2) she ends up [[CrashIntoHello running into Takaki]], after a fight with a bunch of thugs. Then panics when she sees who she knocked over. So she pulls [[CommissarCap her cap]][[note]]taken from one of the thugs, along with his jacket since it was raining[[/note]] down over her eyes so Takaki wouldn't recognize her, and apologizes. Except it worked ''[[GoneHorriblyRight too well]]'', causing Takaki to think Azuki was a guy and fall in love with her!
* IllKillYou: Takeru was already on thin ice for having interfered in her match with Kai. So catching her working at the Macaroon only made it worse. Azuki told him that if he breathed a word to anyone else, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c005/17.html she'd end him.]]
* KickChick: Kicks are her primary means of attack and they're powerful enough to knock Kai unconscious ''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c010/28.html without]]'' her Maken. During her battle against Yan-Min, they were [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c016/9.html near equally]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c016/11.html matched]] in proficiency, until Yan-Min released her Jingu and activated "Reilii" to gain the upperhand. And in chapter 48, she was able to hold her own [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/9.html against Otohime's mind slaves.]]
* LightningBruiser: She's already formidable to begin with, but once she activates Hawk, her attack power, durability, and her speed all increase dramatically.
* {{Meido}}: After school, she works at the Macaroon maid cafe, where she serves as one of their waitresses. It's one of her guilty pleasures, [[RuleOfFunny which guaranteed that her friends showed up]] [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin during one of her shifts.]]
* NotSoDifferent: She and Himegami have the same fixation with stuffed animals and cute cuddly objects. But she has more in common with Yan-Min... not that either of them will admit it.
* OneOfTheBoys: She's well-known for being [[AmazonianBeauty one of the toughest girls]] at the academy, so it came as a surprise to everyone that she secretly liked stuffed animals, and worked at the Macaroon. Takeru and Usui also cracked on her in chapter 10, when they found out that she sews too:
-->'''Usui: ([[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]])''' "Azuki sempai... are ''you'' sewing...?"
-->'''Takeru: (snidely)''' "Once again, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c010/5.html trying to be a 'girl'."]]
-->'''Azuki: (offended)''' [[WhatTheHellHero "You have a problem!?]] What do you mean, being "like" a girl!!"
* PerpetualPoverty: {{Downplayed}}. Since she lives on campus, Azuki sends most of her income back home to support her kid brother and their mom, who suffers from an unspecified illness.
* PointlessBandAid: Azuki always has one across the bridge of her nose for... whatever reason.
* RedheadedHero: Hers is crimson.
* TheRival: To both Kinua Garret and [[Anime/ChineseGirl Yan-Min.]]
** During their duel in the first episode, Kinua accuses Azuki of stealing her stuffed bear from her. Azuki replies that she won it fair and square, just before defeating Kinua again. But Kinua gets even with her at the introduction ceremony by telling everyone about Azuki's prized possession.
** It didn't take long for tensions to flare between her and Yan-Min either, due to the latter insulting Maken-ki by calling them weak. They nearly come to blows, prompting Chacha and Kimi to joke that those weren't [[BelligerentSexualTension the only sparks flying.]]
-->'''Chacha: (cheerfully)''' "Wow! Azuki's already made [[TheRival a new mortal enemy!"]]
-->'''Kimi: (dreamily, eyes sparkling)''' "Yes, and maybe they'll discover [[SchoolgirlLesbians forbidden love."]]
-->'''Azuki and Yan-Min: (in unison)''' "Uh... no we WON'T!!"
** In chapter 9 of the manga, they [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c009/6.html take turns outdoing each other]] in gym class, ending with the three of them [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c009/7.html staring each other down]] while emitting dark aura.
** Their rivalry comes to a head in chapter 15. Because they were so closely matched in proficiency, it ultimately became a battle of attrition spanning two chapters. Azuki wins, but later admits that it was only because Yan-Min had been holding back on her.
* SuperSpeed: With Hawk activated, her speed is greatly enhanced. In season 2, it's shown that she can sprint across the sky, as though it were solid ground, and can cover large distances in seconds.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's tough as nails and excels at unarmed combat, but she secretly likes stuffed animals and enjoys working at [[{{meido}} the Macaroon]], where she uses [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c005/16.html a girlish flirt pose]] to greet customers.
* WhyWontYouDie: Yan-Min was surprised Azuki regained consciousness so soon after their fight and could still talk. Which made her wonder how it was even possible.
-->'''Yan-Min: (bemused)''' "Are you some kind of monster? [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c018/5.html It's like there's nothing that can kill you, ne..."]]
* TheWorfEffect: In order to establish Hoshii as a powerhouse, she [[OneHitKO one-shots Azuki]] during the pole toppling contest - along with the following caption:
-->'''page caption:''' [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c066/25.html "This power... a strong enemy is confirmed!!"]]
* WorthyOpponent: She was openly acknowledged as such by Yan-Min, near the end of their match.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Only while she's at work, where her maid uniform includes a pair of white thigh-highs. Making her a '''Class A''' example.

The shy darkhaired girl, who loves to read manga and write fanfiction. Despite her youthful appearance, she's a part of the student council and serves as their secretary. She's also best friends with Chacha Akaza, whom she looks up to as a big sister figure, so they're almost always in each other's company.
----
* ACupAngst: Not nearly to the same extent as Himegami, but being reminded of Haruko's, Minori's, and Ms. Aki's [[GagBoobs massive endowments]] was enough to send both of them into [[CornerOfWoe a fit of depression.]]
* AmbiguouslyGay: She's heavy into [[YaoiFangirl yaoi]] and [[YuriGenre yuri manga]], and admitted to secretly practicing bondage techniques to use on other girls (chapter 33).
* BadassAdorable: A shy girl whose power is limited only by her imagination, based on her love of manga.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Chacha was initially drawn to Kimi out curiosity over why she was sitting by herself. But when she noticed the manga Kimi was reading, Chacha recognized as one of her favorites. Kimi was surprised to meet [[{{otaku}} a fellow otaku]] and the two of them bonded over their mutual interest.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After she and the others finally learn the truth about Himegami's past and her fated showdown with [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]], Kimi literally sums up the shounen genre:
-->'''Kimi: (teary eyed smile)''' "Boo hoo... The young girl who awaits a ruthless fate: to face [[PowerLevels an overpowered enemy.]] And [[TrueCompanions comrades who come together]]... It's a development worthy of [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/60/10/ a classic shonen manga."]]
* CompanionCube: You will NEVER see her without some sort of manga, not even at the beach.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: She cosplays as [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/14.html Alena]] from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'', during the manga convention in chapter 60. And she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c070/22.html wore a witch's costume]] for the Magical School Quiz! match in chapters 70-73.
* CovertPervert: It turns out Kimi is secretly into bondage and has even practiced a few of the techniques. The one she's most interested in trying is the "tortoise shell", which she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c033/7.html demonstrates on Takaki and Inaho]], by binding both of them in seconds flat.
* TheCutie: A shy soft-spoken spoken girl, who's short and looks young enough to be someone's kid sister? Yep.
* GamerChick: It turns out she's a pro at online quizes, when Hai tells her player ranking places her in the Top 2 at Tenbi and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c070/20.html in the Top 10 nationwide.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: More like purplish blue, but close enough.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Comic Star allows Kimi to [[RealityWarper alter whatever she writes, or draws on, in any way she desires.]] Such as during the cosplay disaster, where she drew speed lines around Chacha's body; simultaneously giving her [[PowerOfFlight powers of flight]] and [[SuperSpeed enhanced speed.]] Which enabled Chacha to avoid gattling gun fire. Then wrote the words "rock hard" to turn Chacha's boxing glove into a giant block of cement, so she could dispense justice. Put simply: Comic Star gives her the creative powers of a mangaka!
* {{Otaku}}: A rare female version. Kimi loves manga so much that her Maken ability ([[RealityWarper "Comic Star"]]) is based on it! In addition: she also likes anime, writes fanfiction in her spare time, and is also into cosplaying.
* PeekABangs: Kimi's hair is always styled so her left eye is concealed.
* RealityWarper: Which is what Comic Star effectively amounts to, as previously noted above.
* ShrinkingViolet: Prior to meeting Chacha, Kimi was too shy to make friends, so she spent her time reading alone. Since then, she's become open about her interests.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The subs can't seem to decide whether it's "Kimi," or "Kimmy".
* YaoiFangirl: Kimi seems to favor same sex pairings of both persuasions. In the manga, BL novels and manga are her favorite reading material. While in the anime, she sounded hopeful that Azuki and Yan-Min's rivalry would develop into [[YuriFan girls love.]]
* ZettaiRyouiki: She always wears a pair of purple and lavender striped thigh-high stockings with her school uniform; making her a '''Class A''' example.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaekoZougou (Japanese), Creator/TrinaNishimura (English)
A foreign exchange student, though it's never said where she hails from. At the series' outset, she's on her second year at Tenbi and is a part of Maken-ki. She's best friends with Kimi Sato, largely due to their mutual love for manga and cosplaying. Little else is known about her.
----
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: See the related entry in Azuki's section.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She immediately stands out from the rest of the cast, due to her smooth caramel complexion, {{green eyes}}, and white hair which she keeps fashioned in a sidetail. But all that's known, is she's [[ForeignExchangeStudent a foreigner.]]
* BestFriend: She and Kimi are close enough that they may as well be sisters, with Chacha being [[CoolBigSis the elder one.]]
* BirdsOfAFeather: See the related entry in Kimi's section.
* BoobsOfSteel: She ties with Haruko as an '''H-Cup''' and yes, she's definitely got the power that comes with 'em.
* CharlesAtlasSuperPower: Noted under the CuteBruiser entry.
* CoolBigSis: To Kimi, who looks up her. Likewise, Chacha looks out for her and always has Kimi's best interest at heart. They get along so well that they're virtually inseparable.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: She's as passionate about cosplay as Kimi is about manga. Chacha gets to strut her stuff, during the manga convention in chapter 60, where she [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/60/19/ cosplays as Manya]] from ''Dragon Quest IV''.
* CuteBruiser: Strong enough to effortlessly split a table in half during an arm wrestling match versus an opponent twice her own size. And in chapter 44, she was able to leap over 10ft. in the air while hefting a giant can of Red Bell that'd been filled with boulders!
* DarkskinnedBlond: Noted in the AmbiguouslyBrown entry.
* DoubleEntendre: While they were part-timing at the Macaroon, she told Takeru that if he wanted milk he could get it from Haruko - by groping her, then [[spoiler: pulling her blouse open]]!
* FeminineWomenCanCook: It turns out, she's a talented seamstress. which she uses to create her own cosplay costumes. She also designed Kimi's costume for the Tenbi Cosplay Convention.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: Confirmed to be a foreigner, but it's never specified from which country.
* FunPersonified:
* GreenEyes: In colored manga scans, they appear sea green.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Seen at the beach party in episode 13. When the girls started getting tipsy and asked for another round, Chacha [[HammerSpace whips out a bunch of bottles at once]] and starts handing 'em out.
* NoNudityTaboo: She's no exhibitionist, but she's not overly concerned about anyone seeing her naked either.
* {{Otaku}}: She enjoys cosplay, but says she doesn't get to do it often, since there aren't many characters she can cosplay as.
* PerpetualSmiler: Even [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c044/8.html in the middle of a life-and-death struggle]] (chapter 44), when she and the others were rallying to protect Takaki from Gouken Yamato.
* SkinshipGrope: Chacha seems to [[FunPersonified get a kick]] out of groping Haruko, which she's done during chapter 26 (noted in the DoubleEntendre entry) and did it again while they were bathing in chapter 33, causing Uruchi's nostrils to spurt blood.

[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uruchi_minaya.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaFuruya (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)
A first year student at Tenbi. She's a fledgling member of the academy's security division and aspires to gain acceptance onto the student council, in order to be with her secret crush: Haruko Amaya. So she tends to take any task she's been given far too seriously, believing she has to fulfill them on her own. Also, because of her feelings for Haruko, she harbors jealousy towards Takeru for being too close to her.
----
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The flashback in chapter 6 shows she used to be bullied, until Haruko came to her defense. Uruchi was so awestruck by Haruko, [[RescueRomance that she became smitten with her]] and decided to become just like her. So she joined the school's disciplinary committee, as part of their junior division.
* CharacterDevelopment: Episode 6 (season 2). After being tasked with observing Haruko for a day, she finally realized Haruko was in love with Takeru, and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy reluctantly accepted it.]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: Usually, she only has eyes for Haruko. But the sight of [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Love Espada]] bending over onstage, in a PlayboyBunny [[FetishFuel costume]], was too provocative ''even for her'' to ignore. Uruchi got a nosebleed and had to be snapped out of it.
* {{Fangirl}}: Uruchi's admiration of Haruko goes beyond fangirling, she openly ''[[EvenTheGirlsWantHer fan-]]'''''''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/18.html GASMS]]''''' over her.
* GreenEyedMonster: She doesn't ''hate'' Takeru, and even gains a bit of respect for him after their first assignment together. She just doesn't like the fact that he's so close to her crush.
* HopelessSuitor: Haruko has no idea that Uruchi is in love with her, because she only has eyes for Takeru.
* ImagineSpot: In episode 6 (season 2) she has several, ranging from Haruko licking a speck of cream off her cheek, to imagining Haruko naked with her arms outstretched, encouraging her to leap into them.
* ImmodestOrgasm: Courtesy of Yuuka's "special training". She strapped Uruchi down in front of a brush studded spinning wheel, with her arms bound behind her back and her legs spread eagle. After a few minutes in, she hit the big "O".
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Noted in the CharacterDevelopment entry.
* [[StraightGay Lesbian]]: Like Takaki, she's neither butch, or overly feminine. But the series makes it clear that she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c044/5.html has a lady boner for Haruko.]]
-->'''Uruchi: (at''' [[spoiler: Gouken]]''')''' "You son of a bitch! How '''[[ThisIsUnforgivable DARE]]''' you rip off Haruko-sempai's clothes?! '''THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO [[LustObject RIP OFF HER CLOTHES]], [[SchoolgirlLesbians IS ME!!"]]'''
-->'''Haruko: (from just off-panel)''' "Huh??"
* {{Nosebleed}}: It happens to her several times:
** The first time being during the hot springs trip in chapter 4, when Himegami lifted the top of Haruko's bikini. Which gave Uruchi an eyeful of her gargantuan rack, up close. In the [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c004/20.html bottom-right panel]], you can see she's covering her nose.
** She gets another one in chapter 29, when she hears about [[ThanksForTheMammary what Haruko does]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c029/8.html in her sleep.]]
** Her nose spurted from watching [[SkinshipGrope Chacha grope Haruko]] right in front of her, [[HotSpringsEpisode while they were bathing]], near the end of chapter 33.
** And in chapter 70, her nose started trickling while staring at Love Espada's [[ShesGotLegs fishnet covered legs]] and camel toe.
* SayItWithHearts: Except in Uruchi's case, it was more like shouting it while [[JizzedInMyPants practically jizzing herself:]]
-->'''Uruchi:''' ''([[WingdingEyes with heart-shaped eyes]])'' "She's strong enough to handle one of the Eight Original Maken... You're so amazing, Haruko-sempai ♥!! So BEAUTIFUL! [[LustObject So SEXY!!]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/18.html I LOVE YOU!!"]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Yuuka knew Uruchi was using her feelings for Haruko as her impetus for enduring her training, and knew [[HopelessSuitor nothing good would come of it.]] So she gives Uruchi a final test, by having her follow and observe Haruko for an entire day without being seen. During which, Uruchi saw how much Haruko was in love with Takeru; which made her realize she'd been projecting her own feelings onto her. When she reports back to Takaki and Yuuka, she tearfully admits she wasn't mature enough to become one of them. Takaki and Yuuka smile and tell her that she's passed, [[CharacterDevelopment having come to the realization on her own.]]
* SempaiKohai: She's Haruko's junior classman.
* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: Quite literally, after hearing about how Haruko groped the other girls in her sleep, and [[DidTheyOrDidntThey the incident with Takaki.]] Uruchi was the lone exception, so she was disappointed that Haruko excluded her[[note]]This differs from the manga's version of the scene (chapter 29), which showed she was more than [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c029/8.html happy to imagine what had happened]]; while having [[{{nosebleed}} a nosebleed]][[/note]]:
-->'''Uruchi: (sadly)''' "I feel really left out. I didn't get groped, molested, ''or fondled''."
-->'''Haruko: (smiles sheepishly)''' "Is there any way we can talk about something else?"
* TearsOfJoy: Seen when Takaki tells her owning up to her immaturity was the first sign that she'd begun to grow up and said she had passed the first phase of her training.
* TookALevelInBadass: By the conclusion of the Okino Island arc, she's gone from an ineffectual junior classman, to being willing to help fight [[spoiler: Takeru Yamato]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Directed towards Himegami in chapter 60, for thinking she had to face [[spoiler: her uncle]] on her own, in order to protect her friends. Uruchi openly [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/8.html objects by calling Himegami selfish]] for trying to exclude them, and tells her that it was no longer just her fight.
