The main protagonist of the series. Mai Machiko is a 24 year old college graduate who works as a science teacher at Arama Middle School. Despite her qualifications, she frequently finds herself on the receiving end of perversion from students and staff alike. Yet she always tries to be the best she can be for her young students.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Good luck finding a single person who doesn't like her. Although this does tend to work against her as it attracts many unwanted suitors.
* TheAce: Machiko is not just a teacher. She can act, dance, sing, fight, swim, pick up any random skill on a dime and is otherwise perfect aside from her inability to keep dressed.
* ActionGirl: Machiko is a [[IKnowKungFu martial artist]] who can [[http://archive.fo/Bvv6B beat down packs of dogs]], and several men larger than herself at once.
* AdaptationDyeJob: [[http://archive.fo/vYMc5 Machiko was blonde in the original manga]]. In the anime, she's a brunette.

* BathtubBonding: [[FuroScene She did it with Mr. Yamagata's elderly mother]] in one episode. Somehow she still ended up getting touched in a way she didn't want to.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[ActionGirl She can throw down when she needs to.]]
** One example being when she saves her uncle from a guest that was taking a friendly duel too far.
** Special mention goes to the final episode, where in response to a particularly cruel and mean-spirited prank Kenta played on a new student, Miss Machiko delivered a devastating slap that [[MegatonPunch sent him flying nearly ten feet away]].
* BrainyBrunette: She is a science teacher.
* ButtMonkey: If you consider constantly being constantly sexually harassed and stripped by minors to be in line with this. Although she does partake in Slapstick every once in a while.
* BuxomIsBetter: She is specifically noted as having large and attractive breasts.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "I give up! / shame!". And it comes with a cute pose.
* TheChewToy: Since most of her misfortunes are played for Fanservice, she counts.
* [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]]: Gains the affection of over five one shot characters, and her students and fellow teachers are constantly competing for her heart.
* ClothingDamage: [[http://archive.fo/DslEn This happens to her a lot.]] Depending on [[RuleOfFunny which would be funnier at the time]], her clothes range from being durable enough to be physically suspended from, to being torn like rice paper by her own movement.
* CosmicPlaything: The universe itself must like seeing her out of her clothes, because she will end up nude by ''random happenstance'' if no one else gets to her first. This can range from her skirt getting torn off by a tree branch to being [[http://archive.vn/HdJ5a intentionally molested by various wildlife.]]
* DitzyGenius: Miss Machiko has shades of this.
** [[ObliviousToLove She doesn't always catch on that some characters want her.]] And while they usually catch her off guard, Miss Machiko can't always see what's obviously a ploy for Kenta to get in a touch.
** Miss Machiko can even behave in a clueless manner when involving non pervy stuff. She can be easily distracted by someone telling her [[LookBehindYou there's a UFO in another direction.]] And one time she almost left the house [[ModestyTowel wearing nothing but a towel]].
* TheDogBitesBack: Machiko will occasionally try and stick it back to those naughty kids.
** Episode 73 has Machiko set Kenta up to be spanked in front of an audience of people.
* GirlyBruiser: She has knocked out men much larger than her with standard effort.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She loves and participates in ''all'' kinds of sports, knows martial arts, and generally [[http://archive.fo/Sb6hH keeps herself extremely fit.]] She also has no problem at all appearing in extremely feminine outfits or generally acting in traditionally feminine roles.
* GoingCommando: She always wears panties, but she only ever wears a bra half of the time.
* GuileHero: She's not above using trickery to solve a problem. Such as when she gives a mad scientist a supposed [[FountainOfYouth youth potion]] that is actually a bottle of soda. Then there's how she deals with Kenta.
* HartmanHips: She has large ones. Kenta claims that she sways them back and fourth when she walks.
* InstantExpert: She picked up skateboarding quickly after falling once.
* ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself more often then not when her students misbehave.
* MsFanservice: This woman can probably check off over 90% of the fanservice tropes on this site. And she [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl isn't even trying to]].
* HotTeacher: Everyone is attracted to her at least a little bit, which is why no one stops her students' pranks. That, and [[CosmicPlaything the very universe conspires to have her denuded]], so any such efforts would be futile.
* LustObject: She tends to be this for [[AllMenArePerverts every single man in the franchise]].
* ModestyTowel: Although they fall off nine out of ten times she wears one.
* NakedFreakOut: Whenever Miss Machiko is stripped bare in public, this is her reaction.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: With the ludicrous methods in which she loses her clothing, it's hard for it not to be.
* NiceGirl: Absolutely. She never holds a grudge against anyone who wrongs her, and always tries to see the best in people.

* PluckyGirl: Fits since she's also the NiceGirl.
* RedGreenContrast: Red and green are the colors of Machiko's primary outfit, and Machiko herself is passionate and levelheaded.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She constantly loses her clothing in the [[HowIsThatEvenPossible most blatantly ridiculous ways imaginable.]] She doesn't ''intend'' for any of this to happen - [[LustObject half of the people around her]] and the [[CosmicPlaything universe]] [[ContrivedCoincidence itself]] all [[ForegoneConclusion want her disrobed.]][[note]]It's [[ImpliedTrope implied]] that she may ''not'' be [[CovertPervert entirely reluctant]]. In fact, she openly states in the first episode that she [[http://archive.fo/jehSH "doesn't mind hanky-panky pranks"]], and in such moments she occasionally gives a [[http://archive.fo/ueZmI very brief smile.]][[/note]]
* SingingInTheShower: She likes to do this. She even does this in her [[ThemeTune theme song]].
* ShowerOfAwkward: She's been walked in on while showering too many times to count.

* SympathyForTheDevil: She is empathetic towards a depressed man who kidnapps her, and helps him get back on his feet.
* ToplessnessFromTheBack: She tries to inflict this after Kenta asks her to take a nude photo for a contest. It didn't last.
* WardrobeMalfunction: How could this not happen?
* WideEyedIdealist: Some characters, especially the [[OnlySaneMan Vice Principal]] believe Miss Machiko's idealistic beliefs get in the way of her properly disciplining her students. She insists Kenta and his friends are nice boys even though their other victims say otherwise.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She is ''[[http://archive.fo/y8ldu absolutely terrified]]'' of cats.
* YoureCuteWhenYoureAngry: She is. The end credits song says so.

[[folder: Kenta]]
!!Kenta Ikegami
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kenta_3.jpg]]
The Deuteragonist of the series, and the primary initiator of perversion against Miss Machiko. Although there may be some kindness within him underneath all that shamelessness.
----
* BrilliantButLazy: If he put half as much effort into his schoolwork as he does his plans to disrobe Miss Machiko, he might get higher than a zero on tests.
* CallingYourAttacks: Not an attack, but he usually shouts "Touch!" whenever he puts his hands on Miss Machiko.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Whenever one of his pranks works successfully, he and occasionally his other friends, and Machiko in some instances, will all say ''Daiseiko'', which is roughly translated to great or huge success.
* CardCarryingJerkass: When Tenko accuses Kenta of touching her, Kenta states that if he did, he wouldn't try and hide it. He then [[RefugeInAudacity proves these claims]] by [[ThanksForTheMammary using Miss Machiko as an example.]]
* ClassClown: He's the one causing mischief.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop this boy from sexually harassing Miss Machiko. ''Nothing''.
* DirtyKid: All of the boys fit this trope but particularly Kenta, who is often the ringleader of the boys and works out several plots to grope, disrobe, or otherwise act pervy to Miss Machiko (or his female classmates). While his comrades have some standards, Kenta lives just to sexually harass every cute female in the show with Machiko as primary objective. He's basically a young Ataru with Goku's voice.
* EasilyForgiven: Miss Machiko sees his attempts to humiliate her as a sign of affection, and only very rarely takes any punitive action against him. That said, even a NiceGirl like Machiko [[BewareTheNiceOnes has a limit to what she will tolerate]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: Kenta draws the line at blackmail. He also doesn't physically abuse anyone for his own amusement unlike Genchiki.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kenta ''very'' occasionally demonstrates that he has the potential to be a good boy. Such as when the vice principal was getting ready to transfer to a different school, and Kenta was the primary force trying to prevent it by behaving like a proper student.
* KarmaHoudini
* LovableSexManiac: He certainly fits the trope. If he finds a girl attractive, he'll definitely show it by molesting her in some way.
* ManipulativeBastard: He has a knack for playing people right into his hands. He's talked Miss Machiko into stripping for a nude photo, and he even tricked Mr. Kagoshima into lighting a cigarette to [[ImprovisedWeapon ignite an improvised bomb]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Kenta will feel regret for his actions when his pranks go too far. Most of the time anyway.
* {{Narcissist}}: He's pretty self obsessed.
* ThePeepingTom: Shamelessly so. Wherever you can find women disrobed, Kenta probably isn't very far away.
* PrecociousCrush: Guess who it's on.
* {{Schemer}}: He is the creator of many elaborate plans, all for the sake of violating his poor teacher.
* SkinshipGrope: He takes a bath with Miss Machiko in episode 68, and wastes no time putting his hands on her breasts as the chance came.

* LastNameBasis: Also counts as OnlyKnownByTheirNickname, as people refer to him by a shortened iteration of his last name.
* MarshmallowHell: Machiko accidentally did this to him when she was flustered. He didn't mind.
* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: He's the shortest of Kenta's friends and indeed wears spectacles.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed. He's usually just as eager as Kenta to harass their teacher, though there was one time where he didn't want Kenta to return Madoka's lost item because he knew he would try and take advantage of the situation. And judging by their report cards, Kame get's higher grades than Kenta more often.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Kenta. He occasionally insults Kenta, and the two strike each other from time to time. But they always put their differences aside for the sake of humiliating Miss Machiko.

When Kenta's extending grabber accidentally grasps her chest,[[note]](he was actually trying to steal the book she was carrying)[[/note]] she smiles in relief... and then [[PervertRevengeMode cries out as loud as she can.]]

One of the girls in Miss Machiko's class. She has a crush on Kenta.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She has it for Kenta despite his pranking and perversion.
* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe?: A RunningGag is that she wants Kenta to harass her as she does the other girls, but he usually passes on her. Not every time though.
* FanDisservice: In-universe, the boys don't find her attractive.
* HairTriggerTemper: All it takes is a comment against Maruko's weight to get her after you.
* MoodSwinger: In episode 51, Maruko was relieved and brought to tears at first when she learned that Kenta only faked an illness so he could partner up with Miss Machiko instead of her. She then became angry and chased him across the field. After they won the relay race, she celebrated with Kenta, then went right back to chasing him.
* NiceGirl: She's quicker to anger than the other girls, but she's also quicker to forgive the boys or apologize to them if she messed up.
* NoIndoorVoice: Hers is loud and raspy.
* StoutStrength: Despite her proportions, she's stronger than Kinzo, and can smash straight through track obstacles.

* NiceGuy: After his CharacterDevelopment, he's one of the nicest boys in the class.
* NotSoAboveItAll: There are several episodes where Hiroshi takes part in Kenta's pranks. An early example being when Hiroshi made Miss Machiko a leotard that was designed to tear itself apart at the highest setting, then gave the remote to [[DirtyKid Kenta.]] When Machiko was inevitably stripped bare, Hiroshi shone a strobe light on her as she was begging him to stop, which left her open to get touched by Kenta. All of this took place in front of a large audience of people. Hiroshi doesn't pull his punches.

----
* {{Bishonen}}: He's tall with long hair with more light reflecting in his eyes.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Tres Bien!" Also counts as GratuitousFrench.
* CoolCar: A nice red one, in contrast to [[TheAllegedCar Mr. Yamagata's]]
* {{Foil}}: To Mr. Yamagata. Both are in love with Miss Machiko, but Yamagata is far more eccentric with his advances, always being clear with his intentions, while Kagoshima is more restrained and subtle. Both have the potential for perversion, but Kagoshima won't cross most lines that Yamagata would. And both are teachers, but Kagoshima is tall, economically secure and respected by his students, while Yamagata is short, lives in a single room apartment, and gets no respect from anyone, except [[NiceGirl Machiko]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Mr. Fukuoka, the teacher he replaced.

* HotTeacher: He is this for the girls, who have each expressed their attraction towards him.

* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her Barkeep]]: She's only referred to as "Aichi" once or twice in the entire series.
* GenreSavvy: She's one of the few characters who [[OnlySaneMan actually seems aware]] of Machiko's tendency to [[CosmicPlaything magically lose her clothing]]. It get's to the point where she ''almost'' [[SeenItAll stops freaking out about Machiko's inevitable moments of indecency.]] At one point, she quite nonchalantly informs her [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn that her top has fallen open]].
--> "Miss Machiko. You'll catch cold."
* [[OnlySaneMan OnlySaneWoman]]: One of the only characters who contests the ridiculousness of the show's common plots. Though no one usually listens to her. Not even the principle.

The main protagonist of the series. Mai Machiko is a 24 year old college graduate who works as a science teacher at Arama Middle School. Despite her qualifications, she frequently finds herself on the receiving end of perversion from students and staff alike. Yet she always tries to be the best she can be for her young students.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Good luck finding a single person who doesn't like her. Although this does tend to work against her as it attracts many unwanted suitors.
* TheAce: Machiko is not just a teacher. She can act, dance, sing, fight, swim, pick up any random skill on a dime and is otherwise perfect aside from her inability to keep dressed.
* ActionGirl: Machiko is a [[IKnowKungFu martial artist]] who can [[http://archive.fo/Bvv6B beat down packs of dogs]], and several men larger than herself at once.
* AdaptationDyeJob: [[http://archive.fo/vYMc5 Machiko was blonde in the original manga]]. In the anime, she's a brunette. This has become RetCanon, as the Manga's original creator [[http://archive.fo/X3e9f drew her this way]] for a collaboration with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobage Mobage game.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original Manga, Machiko was none too happy with her students' rowdy behavior, to the point where she would ([[PervertRevengeMode quite justifiably]]) [[http://archive.fo/Rwzub fly into rages]] and [[http://archive.fo/XWMO4 beat the stuffings out of them]] - especially Kenta. By contrast, in the anime adaptation, she makes it [[http://archive.fo/jehSH explicitly clear]] that she ''doesn't'' at all mind "hanky-panky pranks and rowdy behavior".[[note]]raising questions as to whether or not she has some [[DownplayedTrope very mild]] [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl exhibitionist leanings]]. Some episodes indicate that [[http://archive.is/GBdy4 she does]].[[/note]] In the third episode, when she ends up with an unintentional case of AbsoluteCleavage on the school's internal communications TV, she responds with a [[http://archive.is/OdZDw cute smile and a pose]], like it's no big thing.
* BathingBeauty: Machiko enjoys it when she takes a shower. [[LustObject So do the other characters]].
* BathtubBonding: [[FuroScene She did it with Mr. Yamagata's elderly mother]] in one episode. Somehow she still ended up getting touched in a way she didn't want to.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[ActionGirl She can throw down when she needs to.]]
** One example being when she saves her uncle from a guest that was taking a friendly duel too far.
** Special mention goes to the final episode, where in response to a particularly cruel and mean-spirited prank Kenta played on a new student, Miss Machiko delivered a devastating slap that [[MegatonPunch sent him flying nearly ten feet away]].
* BrainyBrunette: She is a science teacher.
* ButtMonkey: If you consider constantly being constantly sexually harassed and stripped by minors to be in line with this. Although she does partake in Slapstick every once in a while.
* BuxomIsBetter: She is specifically noted as having large and attractive breasts.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "I give up! / shame!". And it comes with a cute pose.
* TheChewToy: Since most of her misfortunes are played for Fanservice, she counts.
* [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]]: Gains the affection of over five one shot characters, and her students and fellow teachers are constantly competing for her heart.
* ClothingDamage: [[http://archive.fo/DslEn This happens to her a lot.]] Depending on [[RuleOfFunny which would be funnier at the time]], her clothes range from being durable enough to be physically suspended from, to being torn like rice paper by her own movement.
* CosmicPlaything: The universe itself must like seeing her out of her clothes, because she will end up nude by ''random happenstance'' if no one else gets to her first. This can range from her skirt getting torn off by a tree branch to being [[http://archive.vn/HdJ5a intentionally molested by various wildlife.]]
* DitzyGenius: Miss Machiko has shades of this.
** [[ObliviousToLove She doesn't always catch on that some characters want her.]] And while they usually catch her off guard, Miss Machiko can't always see what's obviously a ploy for Kenta to get in a touch.
** Miss Machiko can even behave in a clueless manner when involving non pervy stuff. She can be easily distracted by someone telling her [[LookBehindYou there's a UFO in another direction.]] And one time she almost left the house [[ModestyTowel wearing nothing but a towel]].
* TheDogBitesBack: Machiko will occasionally try and stick it back to those naughty kids.
** Episode 73 has Machiko set Kenta up to be spanked in front of an audience of people.
* GirlyBruiser: She has knocked out men much larger than her with standard effort.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She loves and participates in ''all'' kinds of sports, knows martial arts, and generally [[http://archive.fo/Sb6hH keeps herself extremely fit.]] She also has no problem at all appearing in extremely feminine outfits or generally acting in traditionally feminine roles.
* GoingCommando: She always wears panties, but she only ever wears a bra half of the time.
* GuileHero: She's not above using trickery to solve a problem. Such as when she gives a mad scientist a supposed [[FountainOfYouth youth potion]] that is actually a bottle of soda. Then there's how she deals with Kenta.
* HartmanHips: She has large ones. Kenta claims that she sways them back and fourth when she walks.
* InstantExpert: She picked up skateboarding quickly after falling once.
* ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself more often then not when her students misbehave.
* MsFanservice: This woman can probably check off over 90% of the fanservice tropes on this site. And she [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl isn't even trying to]].
* HotTeacher: Everyone is attracted to her at least a little bit, which is why no one stops her students' pranks. That, and [[CosmicPlaything the very universe conspires to have her denuded]], so any such efforts would be futile.
* LustObject: She tends to be this for [[AllMenArePerverts every single man in the franchise]].
* ModestyTowel: Although they fall off nine out of ten times she wears one.

* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: She repelled an entire pack of dogs single-handedly .

* PluckyGirl: Fits since she's also the NiceGirl.
* RedGreenContrast: Red and green are the colors of Machiko's primary outfit, and Machiko herself is passionate and levelheaded.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She constantly loses her clothing in the [[HowIsThatEvenPossible most blatantly ridiculous ways imaginable.]] She doesn't ''intend'' for any of this to happen - [[LustObject half of the people around her]] and the [[CosmicPlaything universe]] [[ContrivedCoincidence itself]] all [[ForegoneConclusion want her disrobed.]][[note]]It's [[ImpliedTrope implied]] that she may ''not'' be [[CovertPervert entirely reluctant]]. In fact, she openly states in the first episode that she [[http://archive.fo/jehSH "doesn't mind hanky-panky pranks"]], and in such moments she occasionally gives a [[http://archive.fo/ueZmI very brief smile.]][[/note]]
* SingingInTheShower: She likes to do this. She even does this in her [[ThemeTune theme song]].
* ShowerOfAwkward: She's been walked in on while showering too many times to count.
* SkinnyDipping: She does this alongside Maruko in episode 94. And of course, Kenta takes advantage of the situation.
* SympathyForTheDevil: She is empathetic towards a depressed man who kidnapps her, and helps him get back on his feet.
* ToplessnessFromTheBack: She tries to inflict this after Kenta asks her to take a nude photo for a contest. It didn't last.
* WardrobeMalfunction: How could this not happen?
* WideEyedIdealist: Some characters, especially the [[OnlySaneMan Vice Principal]] believe Miss Machiko's idealistic beliefs get in the way of her properly disciplining her students. She insists Kenta and his friends are nice boys even though their other victims say otherwise.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She is ''[[http://archive.fo/y8ldu absolutely terrified]]'' of cats.
* YoureCuteWhenYoureAngry: She is. The end credits song says so.

[[folder: Kenta]]
!!Kenta Ikegami
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kenta_3.jpg]]
The Deuteragonist of the series, and the primary initiator of perversion against Miss Machiko. Although there may be some kindness within him underneath all that shamelessness.
----
* BrilliantButLazy: If he put half as much effort into his schoolwork as he does his plans to disrobe Miss Machiko, he might get higher than a zero on tests.
* CallingYourAttacks: Not an attack, but he usually shouts "Touch!" whenever he puts his hands on Miss Machiko.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Whenever one of his pranks works successfully, he and occasionally his other friends, and Machiko in some instances, will all say ''Daiseiko'', which is roughly translated to great or huge success.
* CardCarryingJerkass: When Tenko accuses Kenta of touching her, Kenta states that if he did, he wouldn't try and hide it. He then [[RefugeInAudacity proves these claims]] by [[ThanksForTheMammary using Miss Machiko as an example.]]
* ClassClown: He's the one causing mischief.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop this boy from sexually harassing Miss Machiko. ''Nothing''.
* DirtyKid: All of the boys fit this trope but particularly Kenta, who is often the ringleader of the boys and works out several plots to grope, disrobe, or otherwise act pervy to Miss Machiko (or his female classmates). While his comrades have some standards, Kenta lives just to sexually harass every cute female in the show with Machiko as primary objective. He's basically a young Ataru with Goku's voice.
* EasilyForgiven: Miss Machiko sees his attempts to humiliate her as a sign of affection, and only very rarely takes any punitive action against him. That said, even a NiceGirl like Machiko [[BewareTheNiceOnes has a limit to what she will tolerate]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: Kenta draws the line at blackmail. He also doesn't physically abuse anyone for his own amusement unlike Genchiki.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kenta ''very'' occasionally demonstrates that he has the potential to be a good boy. Such as when the vice principal was getting ready to transfer to a different school, and Kenta was the primary force trying to prevent it by behaving like a proper student.
* KarmaHoudini
* LovableSexManiac: He certainly fits the trope. If he finds a girl attractive, he'll definitely show it by molesting her in some way.
* ManipulativeBastard: He has a knack for playing people right into his hands. He's talked Miss Machiko into stripping for a nude photo, and he even tricked Mr. Kagoshima into lighting a cigarette to [[ImprovisedWeapon ignite an improvised bomb]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Kenta will feel regret for his actions when his pranks go too far. Most of the time anyway.
* {{Narcissist}}: He's pretty self obsessed.
* ThePeepingTom: Shamelessly so. Wherever you can find women disrobed, Kenta probably isn't very far away.
* PrecociousCrush: Guess who it's on.
* {{Schemer}}: He is the creator of many elaborate plans, all for the sake of violating his poor teacher.
* SkinshipGrope: He takes a bath with Miss Machiko in episode 68, and wastes no time putting his hands on her breasts as the chance came.

* HiddenDepths: He can sow.
* TheLancer: He is Kenta's.
* LastNameBasis: Also counts as OnlyKnownByTheirNickname, as people refer to him by a shortened iteration of his last name.
* MarshmallowHell: Machiko accidentally did this to him when she was flustered. He didn't mind.
* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: He's the shortest of Kenta's friends and indeed wears spectacles.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed. He's usually just as eager as Kenta to harass their teacher, though there was one time where he didn't want Kenta to return Madoka's lost item because he knew he would try and take advantage of the situation. And judging by their report cards, Kame get's higher grades than Kenta more often.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Kenta. He occasionally insults Kenta, and the two strike each other from time to time. But they always put their differences aside for the sake of humiliating Miss Machiko.

* {{Hypocrite}}: She's actually severely disappointed with the fact that an unknown {{Chikan}} ''doesn't'' [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe grope her on the bus]] - he's always going for someone else instead [[ACupAngst because her bust is so small]]. When Kenta's extending grabber accidentally grasps her chest,[[note]](he was actually trying to steal the book she was carrying)[[/note]] she smiles in relief... and then [[PervertRevengeMode cries out as loud as she can.]]

One of the girls in Miss Machiko's class. She has a crush on Kenta.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She has it for Kenta despite his pranking and perversion.
* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe?: A RunningGag is that she wants Kenta to harass her as she does the other girls, but he usually passes on her. Not every time though.
* FanDisservice: In-universe, the boys don't find her attractive.
* HairTriggerTemper: All it takes is a comment against Maruko's weight to get her after you.
* MoodSwinger: In episode 51, Maruko was relieved and brought to tears at first when she learned that Kenta only faked an illness so he could partner up with Miss Machiko instead of her. She then became angry and chased him across the field. After they won the relay race, she celebrated with Kenta, then went right back to chasing him.
* NiceGirl: She's quicker to anger than the other girls, but she's also quicker to forgive the boys or apologize to them if she messed up.
* NoIndoorVoice: Hers is loud and raspy.
* StoutStrength: Despite her proportions, she's stronger than Kinzo, and can smash straight through track obstacles.

* NiceGuy: After his CharacterDevelopment, he's one of the nicest boys in the class.
* NotSoAboveItAll: There are several episodes where Hiroshi takes part in Kenta's pranks. An early example being when Hiroshi made Miss Machiko a leotard that was designed to tear itself apart at the highest setting, then gave the remote to [[DirtyKid Kenta.]] When Machiko was inevitably stripped bare, Hiroshi shone a strobe light on her as she was begging him to stop, which left her open to get touched by Kenta. All of this took place in front of a large audience of people. Hiroshi doesn't pull his punches.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Hiroshi is one of the tallest boys in the class.
* WouldHitAGirl: Tenko felt his wrath after she made the mistake of taking his book during a Sumo wrestling tournament.

Both have the potential for perversion, but Kagoshima won't cross most lines that Yamagata would. And both are teachers, but Kagoshima is tall, economically secure and respected by his students, while Yamagata is short, lives in a single room apartment, and gets no respect from anyone, except [[NiceGirl Machiko]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Mr. Fukuoka, the teacher he replaced.

* HotTeacher: He is this for the girls, who have each expressed their attraction towards him.

* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her Barkeep]]: She's only referred to as "Aichi" once or twice in the entire series.
* GenreSavvy: She's one of the few characters who [[OnlySaneMan actually seems aware]] of Machiko's tendency to [[CosmicPlaything magically lose her clothing]]. It get's to the point where she ''almost'' [[SeenItAll stops freaking out about Machiko's inevitable moments of indecency.]] At one point, she quite nonchalantly informs her [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn that her top has fallen open]].
--> "Miss Machiko. You'll catch cold."
* [[OnlySaneMan OnlySaneWoman]]: One of the only characters who contests the ridiculousness of the show's common plots. Though no one usually listens to her. Not even the principle.
