History Characters / Shimoneta

The protagonists, who openly oppose the Public Morals Act in order to re-educate Japan's citizens about basic sex education, and for the simple right to engage in lewd humor again. They've been branded by the media as "obscenity terrorists" for their actions and soon become the Nishikinomiyas main opposition.

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: More like "your terrorists are our sex educators" since their goal is to spread awareness on sex and sexuality to Japan's youth in a time when anything that can be considered as lewd or indecent is illegal.

The son of a "obscenity terrorist", who admires the pure and beautiful Anna Nishikinomiya and joins her school for that reason. However, he rapidly joins Ayame in her quest to free dirty speech.

A list of characters that appear in the ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}'' series.

** To Anna. Ayame is one of the few people her age knowledgeable about sex and consent and is pro-sexuality in general. [[spoiler:However, she herself hasn't gone beyond making dirty jokes and gestures, or (it's implied) [[ADateWithRosiePalms stimulated]] herself, even becoming a bit of a prude about it (though she'll happily encourage ''boys'' to do so).]] Anna on the other hand claims to despise all things dirty yet doesn't really understand sexual matters. [[spoiler:And she turns out to be a nymphomaniac who mistakes her lust for Tanukichi for pure love, and attempts to express it through what would be considered sex crimes in real life.]]

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Her hormones cause her to quickly shed any sense of feminine modesty - from sending Tanukichi envelopes of her vaginal secretions, to [[ADateWithRosiePalms grinding the edge of a desk]] in front of him and Ayame, at school. She's made it clear that she wants Tanukichi [[DoYouWantToCopulate inside her]] in no uncertain terms.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Hyouka is the only one to immediately see through Kosuri's [[BitchInSheepsClothing feigned innocence]], and is able to deduce that her mannerism was rehearsed to manipulate her victims. Kosuri promptly drops the act.
** [[https://youtu.be/UelSm5w0LMI As seen here]] she’s quickly able to deduce a terrorist attempting to hijack the bus she’s on is holding a toy gun by noticing how loose her grip on it is compared to what it’s normal weight would be and being able to clearly see the plastic inside the barrel.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Their government has denied them proper sex education and has limited social interaction between men and women[[note]]in episode 9, Oboro explained that he's not allowed to have contact with Anna unless he's dressed and behaves as a female and, at the end of episode 12, he deemed it necessary to blow up a cable car ''[[JustFollowingOrders simply because]]'' it had been used by a male and female passenger[[/note]], so Hyouka has no sense of feminine modesty. She sees nothing wrong with speaking with Tanukichi from beneath his desk and doesn't mind if he sees her nude. She's even invited him to have sex with her purely out of scientific interest.

** [[https://youtu.be/UelSm5w0LMI This is how she figures out that one of the Gathered Fabric minions is holding a fake gun just by judging the hijacker's muscle tone, gun design, how too easily the gun swings around and that the plastic is clearly visible.]]

* SignificantSketchbook: She always has her sketchbook with her to hide her lewd drawings.

--->'''Ayame:''' ''"I can't change who I am, so I decided to change the world instead."''

* IfICantHaveYou: In episode 8, she sneaks into Tanukichi's apartment and stands over him and Kosuri with a kitchen knife when she sees them [[InnocentCohabitation lying in bed together]]. His saving grace was she stood there ''for hours'' waiting for him to wake up. If he hadn't come up with an explanation on the spot, Anna implies she might've killed (or [[FreudianThreat castrated]]) him:

* SempaiKohai: She's a junior prefect being trained under Oboro, which isn't revealed until episode 12. It's short-lived, as noted in the preceding entry.

** This is how she figures out that one of the Gathered Fabric minions is holding a fake gun just by judging the hijacker's muscle tone, gun design, and how too easily the gun swings around.

* ShesGotLegs: Seen throughout the latter half of episode 12 and accentuated by black nylons, making it a rare instance where the trope applies to ''a guy''.

* FunWithAcronyms: '''S'''ex happens most '''O'''ften on '''X'''-Mas. Doubles as a MeaningfulName since circles are used for censorship in Japan, so SOX can be a censored version of the word sex.

* BreakoutCharacter: The series largely went unnoticed until after people saw Anna's now infamous "cookie" scene, which quickly gained meme status. ''Shimoneta'' became a sleeper hit as a result, with Anna and her "Love Nectar" being one of, if not ''the'' main draw of the series.

* BrainBleach: The sight of him [[spoiler:wearing his little sister's underwear]] is enough to make everyone who sees it puke.

** Further proven during the end credits of episode 9, which [[FreezeFrameBonus briefly shows him]] fully nude. Oboro is shown to have a swimsuit model's figure, including what appear to be B-cup sized breasts. He's even seen with his arms crossed over them, the same as a woman does to preserve their modesty.

** Further proven during the end credits of episode 9, which [[FreezeFrameBonus briefly shows him]] fully nude. Oboro appears to have B-cup breasts and is seen with his arms crossed over them just as a woman does when topless.
** In episode 12, he [[OfCorsetsSexy changes clothes]] in the womens room with Binkan-chan present, without alarming her. Base Black and the others[[note]]Tanukichi and Ayame are the only two, besides Matsukage, who know Oboro is a male[[/note]] also fail to realize Oboro is a male, despite his bulge, because he's shown to have [[HeadTurningBeauty a woman's figure.]]

* LadyInAPowerSuit: She and her husband are the driving force behind Japan's [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad ever increasing legislation]] [[MoralGuardians against indecency]], and she's never seen in anything less than a full pants suit.

* {{Meganekko}}: Wears glasses at school, though she doesn't seem to need them other than purely for a {{Clark Kent|ing}}-style disguise.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has green hair.

* IAteWhat: He ate some cookies containing Anna's "love nectar." He then promptly washes his mouth with water.

* NotSoStoic: When Oboro tries to confiscate her yaoi collection in episode 8, Hyouka becomes visibly distressed to the point that begs Tanukichi to convince Oboro to let her keep it.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: She stated she has a thing for Anna, though she seems to lose interest for her after joining SOX and discovering her penchant for erotic drawings.

* NotSoDifferent: Near the end of Chapter 10, he arranges a meeting with SOX where he tries to convince Ayame that both their factions are fighting for the same cause, and suggests joining forces. But Ayame turns down the offer, recognizing that White Peak only cares about indulging his fetish for women's underwear.

* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: The manga version shows she's [[AllWomenArePrudes put-off by the idea]] of anything happening between her and of Tanukichi. Simply being alone with him in only her bra and panties makes her self-conscious around him.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She's fully aware of Kosuri's girl-crush on her, but she isn't interested in girls (not in boys actually, aside from Tanukichi) or Kosuri, in general, whom she thinks of as "a loli".

* TheLeader: She's SOX's founding member and its chief decision-maker, though she accepts input from Tanukichi. And while he may [[SarcasticDevotee gripe about most of her plans]], he still goes along with them.

* NonIndicativeName: There's nothing blue in Blue Snow, as even the sole two items she wears are white. However, it is actually a StealthPun.

* OhCrap: Even Ayame knows better than to try to face ''[[TheJuggernaut Anna]]'' [[HopelessBossFight directly in a fight]]. The one time she was forced to results in Ayame being curbstomped offscreen and nearly ended with her being unmasked.

* SeriesMascot: She's featured prominently on the cover of anime's box art,[[note]]which is used as the page image[[/note]] and she's the main one used for the series' promotional art; usually in her Blue Snow disguise.
* SexIsGood: She strongly believes this and whenever Tanukichi has something bad to say, she describes in detail the greatness of two bodies desiring each other and that he should finally admit to be charmed by this magic too.

** Despite all her "P in V"[[note]]slang for "penis in vagina"[[/note]] and masturbation jokes, [[BlueWithShock she panicks]] and doesn't know what to do when she finally sees an actual penis. This causes her to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere run out of the room screaming]].

* SecretIdentity: His still unnamed SOX persona. It's ater upgraded to "Sentimental Bomber".

-->'''Tanukichi:''' ''(blushing)'' "Kajou-san... who do you mean by "the real me?"
-->'''Ayame:''' ''(smiles and points)'' "That's something you shouldn't have to hear from someone else."

* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: He worshiped Anna from afar when he thought she was unattainable. But after seeing the other side of her, along with [[TheJuggernaut how freakishly strong]] she is, [[spoiler:not to mention nearly getting raped by her]] he's not just turned off, ''he's justifiably terrified''.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: As Still Undecided. He does carry a green sweater, but wears them as a makeshift short cape.

* NoodleIncident: She casually mentions the fact that she's been banned from ''all medical establishments'' in the city while visiting Tanukichi in the hospital in episode 4. It is implied that this has something to do with her quest to find out how babies are made, but how it actually happened is not elaborated:
