->'''Voiced by:''' Youko Tamaoki (Japanese), Lathryn Taylor Rose (English)

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: After Misato dound out about the fake love letter, Mihoshi decided to double down and pretend she intentionally gave Sasahara her own love letter in order to make Misato more honest about her feelings. All it did was make her even more delusional.

->'''Voiced by:''' Mariko Honda (Japanese), Creator/MorganGarrett (English)

* OlderThanTheyLook: Not normally, but in the TimeSkip chapters. Even after the girls became young women, but Izumi looks the same as ever, which Mai lampshades.

* BadassAdorable: Not quite on Mio's level, but she still counts.

%% * GirlishPigtails

%%* BreathWeapon:

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Chapter 137 reveals that Tanaka's huge hair is just a wig, and he has perfectly normal hair underneath it. He wears his hair normally in the final volumes.]]

* IDoNotSpeakNonVerbal: The first ''Helvetica Standard'' skit has him asking what "KY"[[note]]"Kuuki Yomenai", the inability to read social situations, translated as Clueless in some fansubs[[/note]] refers to. His captain answers "You."

* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: The trio has some of this going on. Yuko rarely messes with anyone on purpose, being a by-and-by nice GenkiGirl who's left to react to a lot of madcap antics (seen in how sweetly she reacts to an alleged love confession by a female friend, despite not being ready to hear it). Her feminine-looking and quiet friend Mai, on the other hand, takes being a HeroicComedicSociopath into the next level, ''especially'' [[TheGadfly around her]]...and likewise, their feminine-looking friend Mio ''will'' occasionally go all out pulling wrestler moves on 6 people and a goat just to avoid having to explain her...[[BoysLove very sexy artwork based on no one she's into IRL]].

* AbusiveParents: Downplayed and PlayedForLaughs, but her mother isn't above {{Dope Slap}}ping her, and doesn't seem to believe her daughter is too smart.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Nothing in Yukko's response to Mai's "confession" said that she wasn't receptive to going out with a girl, only that she was either blindsided by the confession or not ready to date.

** She's dazzled out of her wits when she learns that Nano is actually a robot and becomes enraptured by everything Professor makes her do as if she were a little kid. Even the simple act of pouring a cup of tea out of Nano's removable wrist.

* FacePalm: One evening, as she just got better from a cold, she remembers that she has two exams the next day. She tries to focus on English, but gets lost in her thoughts and ends up writing a poem. She promptly face palms after she realizes it.

* GoalInLife: Has twice now been shown to have no decided goal yet.

* ImagineSpot: Frequently daydreams in class about far-fetched scenarios[[note]]on an airship[[/note]] explaining how Mio got her hair-ties, her twin tails, and ''[[SequelEscalation her very person]]''.

* TheJinx: Inverted, if Episode 26 is any indication. She's apparently sort of a karma sink. She herself is jinxed, but spreads good fortune to everyone around her.

* {{Motif}}: Watermelons. Her favourite kind of soda is melon flavoured, she attempts to reinvent her image by wearing a pair of watermelon clip-ons in her hair, and one segment involved her eating melon bread, realising that she ate the expiration date, and then nervously chewing.

* WaveMotionGun: When in enough pain, her screams let out these. One of them even ''pierced through all the planets of the solar system'' ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And]] [[PlutoIsExpendable Pluto]])!
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: KEEPS stumbling into the most mindblowing scenarios she knows no one will believe she saw, like the extremely old principal being spry enough to fight to the near-death with a deer who seems to have it out for him.

* CovertPervert: To the extent that she [[BerserkButton beat up Yukko, a police officer, an old man, and a goat]] all in the name of preventing people from finding out she draws Yaoi.

* FreakOut: Loses it over her yaoi drawing being discovered and ripped apart.

* ImagineSpot: At one point created an entire romantic scenario between Nano & Sasahara when Yuuko convinced her they were a couple.

* MoustacheDePlume: She writes her yaoi manga under the masculine pen name "Daisuke Naganohara".

* SignatureHairDecs: She wears two wooden cubes in her hair which is her most identifiable feature. And aside from being kind of an odd choice for hair decorations, they're completely ordinary. [[MindScrew Or are they?]]
* SpectacularSpinning: Hit Yoshino with a corkscrew and attacked Yukko and Sasahara's goat with a Dragon Screw.
* StraightMan: Most frequently of the cast.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Her preferred method of knocking out people is wrestling moves, like the Dragon Screw.
* YaoiFangirl: Has a not-so-secret hobby of drawing yaoi doujinshi. And for your own safety, [[SeriousBusiness she does not want you to read it]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: And nobody seems to care for it.

Rounding off the protagonist trio with Yukko and Mio is Mai, a quiet [[{{Meganekko}} bespectacled]] girl with a fondness for [[ItAmusedMe screwing with people just to see how they'll respond]]. Makes up the "[[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine Boke]]" side of her relationship with Yukko. Also has a thing for whittled Buddha statues.

* EmotionlessGirl: She shows little to no emotions in almost every situations.

* FriendToAllChildren: Whielwe only get to see her interacting with one child throughout the story, it seems she's fond of them. [[spoiler:Eventually, she becomes an elementary school teacher after she graduates high school.]]

* MindScrew: At one point she takes off her hair revealing it to be a wig. She later revealed her baldness to be a wig (a bald cap) as well.
** Of course, it may have just been [[AllJustADream Yukko's imagination]].

* BornAsAnAdult: Etcsay on adult since she's a teenager but she stated to be one year old since she was made.

* FearOfThunder: She's scared of lightning, [[FridgeBrilliance which makes sense, considering she's a robot]].

* PinocchioSyndrome: She wants to look as normal as possible, because she fears what could happen if people found out she was a robot.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Her screw is the only clue (or rather, dead giveaway) that she's a robot. Take it off, and nobody would guess. (Hell, even with it, Mio wasn't convinced Nano was a robot right away).

* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: In addition to her [[ArmCannon pellet guns]], Chapter 178 reveals she also possesses SuperStrength, [[{{Jetpack}} Rocket Feet]], [[SuperSenses Super Hearing]] and some kind of [[DeflectorShields Energy Shield]].

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Because Izumi is often clumsy, Makoto has to pick up her slack at home. However, their family in general flips between being foolish and responsible on a daily basis. Chapter 154 reveals that his behavior was born ou of a need to look more mature.

A black cat living with Nano and the Professor. He is able to talk due to a scarf the Professor created. [[spoiler:He was originally Nakamura-sensei's cat, named Taisho.]]

* FreudianSlip: When trying to act cool with Izumi he flat out asks her if she has a boyfriend. When he later tries to talk to Makoto, Izumi's younger brother, [[LastNameBasis he asks him]] the same thing. [[LargeHam Both instances end predictably.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He is nowhere to be seen in the final chapter taking place 10 years later, [[spoiler:he can be assumed to have died some time in between Nano's first year of high school and then. Even so, it's not unrealistic; he was already an adult cat by the time he met Nano and the Professor.]]

* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Among the BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine cast, there is a main trio. In it, the tomboy Yuko rarely messes with anyone on purpose, being a by-and-by nice GenkiGirl who's left to react to a lot of madcap antics (seen in how sweetly she reacts to an alleged love confession by a female friend, despite not being ready to hear it). Her feminine-looking and quiet friend Mai, on the other hand, takes being a HeroicComedicSociopath into the next level, ''especially'' [[TheGadfly around her]]...and likewise, their feminine-looking friend Mio ''will'' occasionally go all out pulling wrestler moves on 6 people and a goat just to avoid having to explain her...[[BoysLove very sexy artwork based on no one she's into IRL]].

* OnlySaneMan: In comparison to most of the cast, ''especially'' in comparison to [[{{LargeHam}} 3/5ths]] of the Go-Soccer Club.

** BeadyEyedLoser: Become more prominent after [[spoiler:he loses his hair]]

* DelinquentHair: Subverted; despite having a mohawk, he's not a delinquent at all and is very down-to-earth (though Weboshi thinks he ''is'' a delinquent and [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys likes him because of it]]). In fact, he didn't even style his hair that way; it grew like that naturally. [[spoiler:Later on, he loses his hair.]]

* FollishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Because Izumi is often clumsy, Makoto has to pick up her slack at home. However, their family in general flips between being foolish and responsible on a daily basis.

* CelebrityResemblance: Yuuko is once mistaken for a famous author by two middle school girls. When we actually see the author in Chapter 148, they're pretty much Yuuko down to the hairstyle and choice of hoodie, but with a chiseled and exhausted face.
