History Characters / SayonaraZetsubouSensei

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Her (pen) name sounds similar to Creator/FranzKafka. Also, speculation has it that her real name, based on several hints throughout the series, is "An Akagi", referring to ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'' (Japanese title ''Akage no An'', "Red-haired Anne").

* CatchPhrase: Most common is...

* DespairEventHorizon: He passes it at the drop of a hat, to the point where announcing he has is his {{Catchphrase}}.

* CatchPhrase:

* CatchPhrase: "Don't open it."

* CatchPhrase:

'''Nami:''' [[CatchPhrase Don't say 'normal'!]]

* CatchPhrase:

* CatholicSchoolGirlsRule: Wears a more westernized school uniform with a plaid skirt, jacket, and long socks.

* CustomUniform: She wears a blazer uniform with a plaid skirt instead of a SailorFuku like the other female students.

* ApologizesALot: So much so that’s it’s her ''CatchPhrase''.
* CatchPhrase:

* ShoutOut: Creator/KikukoInoue herself appears in one segment of ''Zoku'', complete with her trademark "I'm eternally 17!" CatchPhrase.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: "Dark and troubled" doesn't even begin to describe it - first her parents betrothed her to someone, then her mother was possessed by a spirit and had Kafuka MercyKill her. This left Kafuka alone to face the brunt of her severely mentally-ill father's antics, [[spoiler:which culminated in Kafuka's father taking out a life insurance policy on her before murdering her by pushing her in front of a speeding car before disappearing.]] Youch.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: For starters, she was forced to kill her mother when she became possessed.

* TheBigGirl: She often has to restrain Chiri during her violent outbursts, has BoobsOfSteel, and is much taller than most of her classmates.

* BoobsOfSteel: Harumi appears to be amongst the bustiest (though not the very most) in a class full of some very curvy women (the fact that the animation seems to regularly focus on her breasts helps quite a bit), and is also phenomenally strong.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Due to being inside 99% of the time, she's always barefoot.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Wearing socks and/or shoes gives her vertigo.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: For hundreds of chapters at a time, she'll get no dialogue. After Chapter 170, when Itoshiki became less present, Kafuka became more constantly present, and the art gradually began to shift to its old style: she still appears once every 30 or so chapters. After a certain chapter early in the manga's run, she didn't even appear in the background to moon unlucky pedestrians. And this is just Kaere--references to Kaede turn up only a scant handful of times out of those few appearances.

%%* LonelyRichKid: Coupled with an OverprotectiveDad.

* KnightTemplarParent: He even gives Nozomu a mean hook for (unintentionally) making her cry when he notes how she doesn't have a voice actress.
* OverprotectiveDad: Frequently attacks Nozomu over any perceived slights towards Meru, and talking about how people who harassed Meru over the years were [[DeadlyEuphemism "dealt with"]].

* HoneyTrap: Her method of extracting information. Too bad the Japanese government was smart enough to confer its secrets to a bunch of {{otaku}} with absolutely no interest in 3-D women and Chinese ripoffs of ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' and ''Manga/LuckyStar''.

* TriangRelations: Type 5. Marui likes him, but he likes Kaga, while Kaga is either too shy or too oblivious with the affection even though there are several times Kino actively shows it.

* BareYourMidriff: While all of the girls (and a few male characters) get this because of the costume designs, this happens to Kafuka a lot.

* ChristmasCake: A male example. His family is constantly trying to marry him off before his 25th birthday.

* PunnyName: ''Four'' alternate readings, to be exact. Her full name (in Japanese order) can be read as きっちり -- "kicchiri" ("precise"), referring to her SuperOCD. Her given name can be compressed to form the first kanji of 埋める -- "umeru" ("to bury"), which explains her [[ShovelStrike spade]], or used as the first two kanji for 千里眼 -- "senrigan" ("clairvoyance"), explaining her ThirdEye. Finally, her given name can be an onomatopeia, "chirichiri" ("frizzy"), as her hair is actually frizzy, and she has to frequently iron it out to give it a perfectly straight look.

%%* SuperOCD: And ''how!''

* WeaponOfChoice: Primarily, a [[ShovelStrike spade]]; sometimes, [[FlechetteStorm a bunch of throwing knives]].

* WeaponOfChoice: [[BatterUp A baseball bat]], which she uses more often in ''Zan''.
