History Characters / TokimekiMemorial2

* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: ''Very'' likely to become [[HeroesWantRedheads Hikari's]], unlike Naoto with Shiori. He can also become this to other characters depending on if he met them in his childhood days, and scores them in the end. Among those characters are [[spoiler: Akane, Homura, Mei, Miho, and Miyuki]].

* BonusBoss: Of the ThatOneBoss variety. He's considered one of the hardest battles ''in the whole franchise'', even harder than the local JapaneseDelinquents' boss of this game, who's already no slouch. It's not uncommon to see players restart their playthrough when Jun tells the protagonist he loves a specific girl in the cast, at around mid-game: if this girl is the same you're targeting, you'll have to fight him near the end of the game to determine who will have the right to pursue the relationship with the girl.

%%* {{Bokukko}}

* BagOfKidnapping: [[spoiler:

In the FunnyBackgroundEvent of the last shot of Akane's Happy Ending.]]

* [[spoiler: AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Her Happy Ending, as she feels she and the protagonist will be separated from each other like when they were young after Graduation, and she doesn't want to live that ever again.]]

* [[spoiler: SnowedIn: Happens in one of her last major events before her love confession, during a date at the ski slopes in the winter season. A sudden blizzard occurs, stopping the train service between the mountain and Hibikino City, and forcing Hikari and the protagonist to take shelter in the ski resort's train station and wait until the lines work again for a whole night.]]

* [[spoiler: TryingNotToCry: Played utterly straight in her Ending, as part of her AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. The scene is emotionally powerful thanks to Creator/JunkoNoda's superb performance, and that you can see Hikari's eyes progressively welling up with tears as she speaks.]]

* [[spoiler: ExpositoryHairstyleChange: During one of her story paths in ''Memories Ringing On'', she shows the protagonist a picture of her and Hikari from middleschool where she had short hair while Hikari had long hair. Quite interesting that their hair lengths are switched in the present.]]

* [[spoiler: EarnYourHappyEnding]]: Particulary in ''Memories Ringing On'', as [[spoiler: Kaedeko's father is firmly opposed to the idea that Kaedeko goes at Hibikino University after her High School time at Daimon High is over, thus needing her to take a lodging at Hibikino and live alone. It'll take much convincing from Kaedeko and one of her relatives, and much patience and determination from the protagonist to make him relent]].

* [[spoiler:PassionateSportsGirl]]: She was this before the event that made her a BrokenBird, and was so passionate it's part of the reason why things spiralled down like that for her. [[spoiler:She turns back to a slightly more reserved one after her ShesBack event]].

* [[spoiler: AttractiveBentGender / WholesomeCrossdresser: During one event in the game involving a school play, the lead actress ends up sick, and he somehow stands in for her and does the job well!]]

%%* [[spoiler:KnightTemplarBigBrother: To Akane.]]
* [[spoiler:MegatonPunch: He is often on the receiving end of his younger sister Akane's punch for interfering in her private life.]]
* [[spoiler:MySisterIsOffLimits: He is very protective of his younger sister Akane.]]

* [[spoiler: [[BoundAndGagged Put In A Sack And Gagged]]: In the FunnyBackgroundEvent of the last shot of Akane's Happy Ending.]]

* [[spoiler: RelationshipSabotage: He constantly tries to do this between Akane and the protagonist, but fails each time.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: Reaching 92 cm in 3rd year, she has the biggest bust size amongst the Hibikino Saga characters; and she's definitely the strongest female in the game.

* BuxomIsBetter: Reaching 90 cm in 3rd year, she has the fifth (ex aequo with ''Tokimeki Memorial 3'''s Emi Tachibana) biggest cup size in the series , behind [[spoiler: fellow model]] Mira, as well as Akane, Patricia and Mari. Her breast size is one of the few ways to see who is Miho and who is Maho in their TwinSwitch game (Maho has the biggest cup size), and she makes good use of them in two special Events, wearing a bold bikini at the beach and a sexy FortuneTeller outfit at the School Festival to please the protagonist, and this works so well it also attracts all male attention around her in the process. Plus, [[spoiler: she becomes a model after graduating]].

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: She ''loves'' penguins, to the point of wearing a penguin suit at one point of the game.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: She loves to delivers these to the protagonist [[TheMatchmaker every time she feels]] [[MatchmakerCrush he neglected her best friend Hikari]]. [[spoiler: It culminates to SlapSlapKiss territory (although the slap slap is delivered by her alone, and she hugs you instead of kissing), complete with Baka callings, in her Ending where both her and Hikari are in love with the protagonist, and you ultimately choose Kotoko.]]
** She even go as far as slapping [[spoiler: her own teacher, Kasumi]], in ''Memories Ringing On'', although for a radically different reason: [[spoiler:[[WronglyAccused She was suspected of having punctured one of the tyres of Kasumi's car, with whom she was in bad terms, out of spite, when in fact it was Bakuretsuzan and Homura who accidentally did it by playing with Pachinko balls nearby]]]].

* WhatTheHellHero: She justly {{Armor Piercing Slap}}s and chews out a new one on Shunta after his [[spoiler: dangerous rooftop stunt]]:

* ShrinkingViolet

Her scenario and personnality led her to become ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'''s [[EnsembleDarkhorse favourite character in the fandom]], to the point of getting her own [[{{Novelization}} novel]] (out of two released for this game, the first having Hikari as its heroine), ''Anata o Shinjiteru'' (''"I Believe In You"''), as well as a lot of merchandise centered around her.

* OfficialCouple: In the [[{{Novelization}} novel]] ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', with main protagonist Shunta Torigoe.
* OneeSama: Her appearance near the very end of the game, when wearing her special Winter street clothes, exudes of this feeling. [[spoiler: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since she's actually one year older than the protagonist, and has matured after recovering from her HeroicBSOD]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the protagonist on New Year's day of 3rd Year.
* [[spoiler:PassionateSportsGirl]]: She was this before the event that made her a BrokenBird, and was so passionate it's part of the reason why things spiralled down like that for her. [[spoiler:She turns back to a slightly more reserved one after her [[ShesBack She's Back]] event]].

[[WMG:'''Rumi Kanbe''']]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/ReikoTakagi

A track runner from Kirameki Highschool in ''Memories Ringing On'', and self proclamed rival to Hikari Hinomoto. [[spoiler: She is frustrated that Hikari doesn't take her challenges to a sprint race seriously because of her history of injuries in turn complicated by Hikari's belief in handicapping, as well as Hikari not going to a college recommended for track runners.]]

She also happens to be Takumi Sakaki's childhood friend, to the surprise of Jun Hokari and the protagonist, who then speculate whether or not she is also Takumi's LoveInterest.
----
Tropes associated with Rumi Kanbe:
* [[spoiler: DontYouDarePityMe]]

* {{Keet}}

* ClassRepresentative

* ThisIsADrill: Her WeaponOfChoice, coming from her favourite Mecha anime, [[ShowWithinAShow Go-Driller]].

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: She's a redhead, and her skin is unusually darker in comparison to the other girls.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Not ''that'' dark-skinned, but her skin tone is still the darkest of the cast along with Homura's; there's also further subversion of the trope in that she's a full-blooded Japanese girl.

* TheFourGods: Among the Four Heaven Kings, he's [[TurtlePower Genbu]]. He wears a iron turtle shell on his back at all times, and a picture in the ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Illustrations'' book parodies the Genbu legend, with him carrying on his back the whole cast of the game.

A cheerful and hard-working member of Hibikino's Volley-Ball Club, extremely open and friendly to others, he actually was an IllBoy forced to stay at his home most of the time until the start of his High School time. He's now healthy enough to have a normal school life and practice sports, but he still is a bit fragile, and is also prone to volley-ball accidents: it's how he progressively gets closer to Kaori, who's sometimes on call at the infirmary. He's childhood friends with Sayo Tsukimura, but they bicker often and he considers her more as a big sister.

* IllBoy

* TheIngenue

* FieryRedhead
* KickChick
* [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Granddaughter]]: In ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Leaping School Festival'', we get to discover that she's the spitting image of her grandmother. [[spoiler: It also explains why Headmaster Bakuretsuzan is so friendly with Homura, as he was in love with her grandmother and Homura reminds him of her, AND had a friendly rivalry over her with her grandfather, who also was (and still is, which says a lot of how a NiceGuy he is!) his best friend]].

* [[KingIncognito Lady Incognito]]: She liked to do this in her childhood, [[spoiler: and this is how she meets the protagonist in the Childhood part of the game]].

* [[HesBack She's Back]]: Pulls this after the mandatory Event to get her Ending, where, thanks to ThePowerOfLove, she finds the courage to overcome her wounds, and decides to enter the Volley-Ball Club again. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by one of the Official Guidebooks about this Event: "''The original Yae-san has come back''".

** DeliberatelyCuteChild
* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than He Looks]]

* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Him Sou-Bancho]]: His actual name is [[spoiler:Kaoru Ichimonji (the brother of Akane)]] but everyone addresses him by his title.

* {{Qipao}}: [[spoiler:In her 3rd year Christmas Event, one of those attracts her eye.

She tries to protest at first due to the cost, but he convinces her by saying he was saving money for this moment and purpose.]]

* [[spoiler: ExpositoryHairstyleChange: During one of her story paths in ''Memories Ringing On'', she shows the protagonist a picture of her and Hikari from middleschool where she had short hair while Hikari had [[RapunzelHair long hair]].
