| 11 | [[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tadakuni1_2805.jpg]] |
| 12 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyuIrino |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ->"My name is Tadakuni. I live a normal life, attending a normal school, in a normal town." |
| 15 | |
| 16 | A completely normal eleventh-grade schoolboy (so he describes himself) living a completely normal life in a completely ordinary town and studying in an [[OneGenderSchool all boys']] HighSchool. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * AttractiveBentGender: Looks surprisingly good in a skirt, a fact that many ''many'' artists at Website/{{Pixiv}} seem to agree with. This was being lampshaded In-Universe; Yoshitake commented he has no signs of the male hormone when crossdressed. |
| 19 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: With him as the tsukkomi and Hidenori and Yoshitake as a pair of bokes. |
| 20 | * BookDumb: Judging the way he did the test papers, he is this in TheMovie. |
| 21 | * ButtMonkey: Forced to play along with a love simulation, tricked into crossdressing, got punched out by the Literature Girl, went OutOfFocus for several episodes, has yet to be given a surname... poor boy. |
| 22 | * CovertPervert: Yoshitake is stunned when he notices that, like Hidenori, Tadakuni is wearing his sister's underwear under his uniform. |
| 23 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Shows off a surprising amount of parkour and stealth skill when spying on (who he thinks are) Hidenori and Yoshitake. Compared to his usual blandness this is quite surprising. [[spoiler: He was also Rubber Shooter at one point.]] |
| 24 | * DeadpanSnarker: When he isn't screaming at his friends, he's snarking at them. |
| 25 | * DecoyProtagonist: He leads the opening segment but starts to fall seriously OutOfFocus after the first volume of the manga and the fifth episode of the anime. It gets so bad that he occasionally doesn't even appear at all. |
| 26 | * TheGadfly: While he's generally the one getting egged on, he takes on this role towards Nago while working at the pizza parlor. |
| 27 | * TheGenericGuy: Compared to his two friends, he's quite plain. It reaches a point where even his DistaffCounterpart has more character than he does. PlayedWith a bit as he occasionally worries that his friends will lose interest in him since he's not as wacky as they are. |
| 28 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Hidenori and Yoshitake, but to a lesser degree than they are with each other. |
| 29 | * IconicOutfit: His one off stunt at putting on a skirt during "High School Boys and Skirts" has become his most memorable outfit (and [[LimitedWardrobe not without reason, of course]]). |
| 30 | * TheKlutz: At least in the unanimated ''High School Boys and Classroom Cleaning'', he broke anything he put his hand on. |
| 31 | * NoFullNameGiven: Unlike Hidenori and Yoshitake, he (and Mei) has yet to be given a surname. The final chapter implies that Tadakuni may ''be'' his surname and that we don't actually know his first name. |
| 32 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Try as hard as he may to resist, he's just as perverted and bumbling as his buddies. |
| 33 | * OnlySaneMan: It seems almost as if his whole life is a BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine. |
| 34 | -->''"My everyday life with my idiotic, hopeless and self-conscious friends still continues!" |
| 35 | -->'''''Tadakuni''', in the anime's BookEnds skit'' |
| 36 | * OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Compared to the rest of the cast, Tadakuni doesn't have much in the way of quirks. He's a bit of a slacker and has a perverted streak, but both of those are pretty typical high school boy attributes. |
| 37 | * OutOfFocus: He slipped out from presence in the latter half of the anime--he had ''zero'' presence in episode 9, ''one'' scene when he choked on mochi in episode 10 (outside of his ChewingTheScenery), and one {{eyecatch}} in episode 11. Episode 10's intro suggested that was because he is a RidiculouslyAverageGuy, but can also be justified by his part-time job at the pizzeria. |
| 38 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Both of his friends seem to have almost savant-like intelligence along with larger than life personalities, while Tadakuni is painfully average and uninteresting. |
| 39 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Lampshaded in the intro to Episode 10, where the other boys conclude that he doesn't get much time on the screen because he's too normal and uninteresting. In the following sponsor message and next episode preview, [[ChewingTheScenery Tadakuni tries really hard to be interesting, by talking in as loud a voice as he can]]. It's reached a point where it's gone full circle and his complete lack of interesting traits has become an interesting trait in and of itself and has made him quite popular with the fandom. |
| 40 | * StraightMan: To Hidenori and Yoshitake. |
| 41 | * {{Tsundere}}: Spends most of his time hanging out with Hidenori and Yoshitake yelling at them but becomes incredibly distressed whenever he thinks they've moved past him. |
| 42 | * UnluckyEverydude |
| 43 | * WholesomeCrossdresser: While the first few occasions he dressed in drag were due to Hidenori's meddling, he willingly wears his sister's underwear. |

| 47 | !Hidenori Tabata |
| 48 | [[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hidenori1_3956.jpg]] |
| 49 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomokazuSugita (teenager) and Creator/YukoSanpei (Grade 5) |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ->"That's it, Tadakuni! Run! Run, Tadakuni! Leave behind your {{Tsundere}} [[PatientChildhoodLoveInterest childhood friend!]] Throw out your little sister who's [[NotBloodRelated unrelated by blood!]] Run past that [[MysteriousWaif beautiful, mysterious]] [[NewTransferStudent transfer student]] until she fades into the distance! Hold on to that hand, and just, just... '''keep running!'''" |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Tadakuni's classmate who looks stoic and emotionless. Despite his calm appearance, he is actually a stubborn LargeHam with an odd sense of humor. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * TheAce: To a degree. He is the only guy who ever manages to attract any ladies, is shown to be an incredible athlete, impressively intelligent and shockingly perceptive. At the same time, he's a spastic weirdo who suffers from severe social anxiety. |
| 56 | * BreakoutCharacter: Tadakuni is supposedly the main character, but Hidenori quickly took the center stage. |
| 57 | ** TheProtagonist: After Tadakuni falls OutOfFocus, Hidenori more or less becomes the de facto main character. |
| 58 | * ChickMagnet: He's the only male character apart from Karasawa that females ever crush on, such as the Literature Girl and Emi. |
| 59 | * ChivalrousPervert: He likes to start conversations about girls. Subverted in that he shows outright annoyance whenever an actual girl shows interest in him. |
| 60 | * CloudCuckooLander: Usually he just looks like a relatively normal, fun-loving teen, but sometimes he can be very weird. Two examples from episode 8: |
| 61 | ** ''High School Boys and Balconies'': After getting jealous over a conversation he saw over opposing balconies, he attempted to reenact it that night, by climbing to his neighbour's balcony... |
| 62 | ** ''High School Boys and Cakes'': On his birthday Yoshitake asks him what does he wanted to do for the day. He not only forgot it was his birthday, but his answer also {{squick}}ed Tadakuni InUniverse: Piss in his pants. |
| 63 | * CluelessChickMagnet: Shows a combination of terror, confusion and annoyance whenever a girl actually expresses interest in him, mostly because he never did anything to attract them in the first place. |
| 64 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's surprisingly capable physically. |
| 65 | * TheGadfly: A lot of his antics are simply done to get a reaction out of people, generally Tadakuni. The occasions where we get to hear his InternalMonologue show him to be a relatively normal, if very socially-conscious, teen. |
| 66 | * GenreSavvy: Very aware of anime, manga and gaming tropes. |
| 67 | * GreenEyedMonster: Becomes incredibly jealous whenever he sees someone with a life like a manga character. Just seeing a guy getting yelled at by his {{Tsundere}} ChildhoodFriend is enough to send him into a rage. |
| 68 | * HeManWomanHater: Not nearly to the extent of Yanagin's [[DoesNotLikeMen hatred of men]], but he generally comes off as moderately annoyed whenever interacting with girls. |
| 69 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yoshitake and to a lesser extent Tadakuni. |
| 70 | * HotBlooded: ''Very''. Though he seems to save it for his InternalMonologue or when he's around close friends. When in front of strangers he dials it back considerably. |
| 71 | * InnerMonologue: If he is the focus of a skit, expect extensive examples of this, especially his scenes with the Literature Girl. |
| 72 | * InSeriesNickname: His father calls him "{{Megane}}"--despite his brother Yuusuke wearing glasses as well. |
| 73 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Implied by his fantasies, his tendency to become extremely jealous whenever he sees anyone with a life similar to a cliched manga character and his fixation on his encounter with Rubber Shooter as a kid. At one point he even admits to Yoshitake that he feels anxious because almost all manga protagonists are around his age and yet nothing interesting ever happens to him. When asked by his dad what he wants to do with his life, he says he wants to "go overseas and help people.". |
| 74 | * {{Jerkass}}: A mild case. He likes to give Tadakuni a hard time and can be outright cruel to other people, but a lot of this stems from his social ineptness rather than outright malice. |
| 75 | * LargeHam: Despite what first impressions may suggest, he's hands down the hammiest character in the series. He tends to keep it in his head when he's not around friends though. |
| 76 | * TheLeader: If we see the main trio as a ComicTrio, he would be this. He also tends to lead the male students whenever the Student Council President isn't around or is too lazy to do it himself. |
| 77 | * MrImagination: Most "plots" are kicked off by him fantasizing while bored. |
| 78 | * NonActionGuy: At least he claims to be this in ''High School Boys and Killer Shoot''. This is quickly subverted, as he proceeds to effortlessly block every shot kicked at him, including the ones with ''Manga/DragonBallZ'' level powers. |
| 79 | * NoSocialSkills: He likes to talk to himself, says some ''very'' strange things and frequently finds himself in uncomfortable social situations that he only makes worse. |
| 80 | * PurelyAestheticGlasses: has 40/20 vision ''without''. |
| 81 | * RunningGag[=/=]SayMyName |
| 82 | -->'''LITTLE SISTER/IMOUTOOO!''' |
| 83 | * SeriousBusiness: Hidenori tends to take things way more seriously than he needs to. |
| 84 | * SmallTownBoredom: Implied to be dissatisfied with his adolescence due to a lifetime of reading manga and anime featuring high schoolers going on fantastical adventures, and pulls the majority of his stunts as a way of compensating for the resulting emptiness. The occasions where he actually vocalizes these thoughts are actually fairly depressing. |
| 85 | * StoicSpectacles: Subverted as he just ''looks'' stoic. [[spoiler:And he doesn't need them for vision purposes either.]] |
| 86 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Several skits have Tadakuni trying to kick him and Yoshitake out of his house while the two completely ignore him and continue to do whatever weird thing they're doing. |
| 87 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Spends an entire segment detailing every single thing about Yoshitake that annoys him. It goes on for so long that he ends up listing ''all of Yoshitake's defining character traits'', but ends with him tearing up after remembering all of the times Yoshitake has been an amazing friend to him. |
| 88 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The mochi skit begins with him but while Yoshitake and Tadakuni are saved by their siblings at the end Hidenori isn't mentioned again... |
| 89 | * WrongGenreSavvy: At least once. In Episode 1's intro, he believed Creator/SquareEnix and Creator/{{Sunrise}}'s involvement in [[BreakingTheFourthWall their show]] would suddenly infuse it with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam mecha]] and/or [[VideoGame/DragonQuest RPG]] elements. [[ChekhovsGag And in a way, he's right]] -- in ''High School Boys and Indoor Adventure'' the trio took to roleplaying after playing ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'', and he is the most excited about it, impersonating various stock RPG characters. |

| 93 | !Yoshitake Tanaka |
| 94 | [[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoshitake_3913.jpg]] |
| 95 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenichiSuzumura |
| 96 | |
| 97 | ->"A friend is... [[AllMenArePerverts someone who walks with them even if they follow a different path]]! Someone who can bear the burden of their [[PantyThief sins]]! Isn't that what it means to be a [[TrueCompanions true friend]]!?" |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Tadakuni's other friend, who looks more friendly and easygoing than Hidenori is... yet is an idiot who shares Hidenori's odd sense of humor. |
| 100 | ---- |
| 101 | * ArtShift: His face has a tendency to become hyper realistic and detailed when he's being TheComicallySerious. While this happens to other characters, Yoshitake is the most frequent offender. |
| 102 | * ButtMonkey: Back in his childhood, but any memory of his mishaps are now attributed to [[CosmicPlaything Mitsuo]]. |
| 103 | * CatchPhrase: "It's surreal." |
| 104 | * CloudCuckoolander: To a similar degree as Hidenori, though his tendency to be TheQuietOne makes him even more of this. |
| 105 | * TheComicallySerious: ''High School Boys and Annoyances'' shows more than a few examples of this. |
| 106 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:He was Rubber Shooter at one point, and is suggested to have been the one who saved Hidenori and fought Habara.]] |
| 107 | * CustomUniform: While all of the guys tend to be pretty lax with their dress code, Yoshitake never wears a tie with his uniform and always has the top buttons of his shirt down. |
| 108 | * CutHimselfShaving: Except he was shaving his ''nipple'' hair. The audience doesn't get to see, but apparently the accident left him with [[{{Squick}} only one nipple]]. |
| 109 | * DelinquentHair: Similar to Hidenori's glasses, his (presumably) bleached blonde spiky hair stands out quite a bit, though it isn't really indicative of his personality. |
| 110 | * TheDitz: To a degree. He certainly comes off as the dumbest of the three, and while he's definitely slow on the uptake, his InternalMonologue shows him to be smarter than he looks but bad at expressing himself. |
| 111 | * DumbBlonde: See TheDitz. He's more of a goofball than outright dumb though. |
| 112 | * TheFool: If we see the main trio as a ComicTrio, he'd be in this position. |
| 113 | * TheGadfly: Towards Tadakuni, though he tends to only follow Hidenori's example. He also occasionally turns the tables and plays one to Hidenori as well, such as when he deliberately responds to his banter as bluntly as possible to make the situation more awkward than funny. |
| 114 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Fits to a T in all senses of the trope. |
| 115 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Hidenori. And Tadakuni, to a lesser extent. |
| 116 | * HiddenDepths: He's surprisingly noble and rather heroic. He's also ''more'' socially aware than Hidenori is, and has a large social circle outside of the regular cast, but generally prefers playing the fool for laughs. |
| 117 | * HiddenEyes: His equivalent of {{Scary Shiny Glasses}}. |
| 118 | * HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Very subtly implied. His relationship with his sister is by far the worst of the main three with their siblings (for reference, Tadakuni only speaks with his sister once a ''month'') to the point where he refuses to even call her by name or address her as his sister, and the occasions where he references his parents always have him speak of them disdainfully in a tone dripping with contempt. This, combined with his odd fixation on friendship and the concept of TrueCompanions, suggests that his home life isn't very good. |
| 119 | * HonorBeforeReason: Yoshitake is a surprisingly loyal friend, which comes back to bite him more often than not. |
| 120 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Motoharu asked him a bunch of Internet neologisms in ''High School Boys and Lies'', and he made up the answer for every one except MMORPG. |
| 121 | * TheLancer: Essentially serves as lancer to both Tadakuni and Hidenori, being (usually) the more bizarre and reckless of the three, but also providing back up whenever they need it. He also rarely instigates the plot, and instead follows along with whatever is currently happening. |
| 122 | * NiceGuy: Compared to the more unpredictable Hidenori, Yoshitake is both a very good friend and polite to strangers. |
| 123 | * TheQuietOne: The least verbal of the three, often making his sudden bizarre actions all the weirder. |
| 124 | * TheStoic: While he's hardly emotionless, he's much less loud than Hidenori is which, combined with his status as TheQuietOne, gives him quite the poker face. |
| 125 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Several skits have Tadakuni trying to kick him and Hidenori out of his house while the two completely ignore him and continue to do whatever weird thing they're doing. |
| 126 | * TrueCompanions: Amongst the trio, he subscribes to this philosophy the most. |
| 127 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Certainly not above getting into all out fist fights with Hidenori should he piss him off enough, but puts friendship above his own happiness. |
| 128 | * WildCard: While he generally follows along with whatever stunt Hidenori is currently pulling, he's known to go off script and throw things completely off the rails. |
| 129 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: After a touching monologue about how he'll walk down the same path as his friends, even as panty thieves, he immediately gets sold out to Mei by Tadakuni and Hidenori, and rats them out in return. |
| 130 | * YesMan: To Hidenori, for the most part. |

| 138 | |
| 139 | The handsome President of Sanada North High's Student Council, who does little actual work and is often absent from the Student Council room. |
| 140 | ---- |
| 141 | * BelligerentSexualTension: With Ringo. |
| 142 | * BoisterousWeakling: He starts a fight against Ringo only to get [[CurbstompBattle his ass kicked]] without landing a single punch. |
| 143 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: His brief and far-between speeches are impressive, but aside from that, he's a LazyBum incompetent who still somehow holds onto his title as president. |
| 144 | * CuteLittleFangs: Which hint at his true LazyBum {{Jerkass}} nature hidden beneath his good looks. |
| 145 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep |
| 146 | * HandsomeLech: Tends to be flirty with every girl he meets. |
| 147 | * HiddenDepths: The one time we hear his InternalMonologue he complains about feeling unnecessary, suggesting that he's more invested in the student council than he lets on. |
| 148 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not too bad of a guy, but he's a lazy jerk most of the time, especially in comparison to the rest of the student council, who are all reliable nice guys. |
| 149 | * LazyBum: He spends most of his time playing video games meanwhile the rest of the Student Council handle actual agendas. |
| 150 | * TheLoad: Pretty much completely useless and generally acts like a jerk as well. Thankfully all of the other members of the student council are [[HyperCompetentSidekick Hyper Competent Sidekicks]]. At one point he even outright says "There's no reason for me to be here!". |
| 151 | * MrFanservice: During Episode 4, where Ringo caught him wearing his underwear inside the horror house. |
| 152 | * NonActionGuy: He's a terrible fighter. |
| 153 | * PaperTiger: ''Looking'' cool is pretty much the only thing he's good at. |
| 154 | * PointyHairedBoss: Completely incompetent at pretty much everything and is more interested in goofing off than doing any work. |
| 155 | * StealthHiBye: Almost always reveals himself to have been in the room the whole time without anyone noticing whenever he appears. |
| 156 | * StudentCouncilPresident |
| 157 | * TeamDad: This is why he's still seen with respect despite doing none of the work. |
| 158 | * WouldntHitAGirl: Parodied in his fight with Ringo. He says he doesn't hit girls... ''after'' he misses a punch and gets locked in a chokehold. |

| 166 | The Vice-President of the Student Council. Despite his scary appearance, he's well-mannered and polite. |
| 167 | ---- |
| 168 | |
| 169 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: He always tries to do the right thing, the problem is that he doesn't ''look'' like a hero. |
| 170 | * CrossPoppingVeins: ''Always''. |
| 171 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep |
| 172 | * FaceOfAThug: He lampshaded that in ''High School Boys and Wiring''. |
| 173 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Despite every superficial detail about him suggesting otherwise, The Vice-President is actually a genuinely sweet guy. |
| 174 | * HypercompetentSidekick: Pretty much the ''real'' student council president. |
| 175 | * JapaneseDelinquents: Subverted, though he claims to have [[HeelFaceTurn been one before]]. |
| 176 | * NiceGuy: Despite his tough looks. |
| 177 | * PerpetualFrowner |
| 178 | * ReformedCriminal: Apparently actually ''was'' a delinquent before he was offered a seat in the student council. |

| 185 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeNamikawa |
| 186 | |
| 187 | Tadakuni's classmate and a member of the Student Council. Despite his notoriety as a delinquent, he only really looks the part, and is one of the main group's friends. |
| 188 | ---- |
| 189 | * BadassDecay: {{Invoked}} A weird example of this happening from the very first time he appears. He's introduced as a fearsome delinquent only to come off as an oblivious loser only a minute later. All of his following appearances tend to feature him getting humiliated by Hidenori or his sister and her friends. |
| 190 | * BigLittleBrother: He's one head taller than his older sister. |
| 191 | * BrickJoke: In ''High School Boys and Seniority'' some girls shave off his PermaStubble. For the rest of the episode, his chin remains shaved with some bandages on it. |
| 192 | * ButtMonkey: To his sister Mino and her friends who walk all over him. |
| 193 | * CasanovaWannabe: Viewed as a pillar of romantic guidance by all of the other guys at Sanada North High, despite being equally as clueless as they are. Girls actually ''turn away at the sight of him'' at the beach. |
| 194 | * CustomUniform: Fitting his image, he never buttons up his shirt, let alone wear the tie. |
| 195 | * DeadpanSnarker: The most sarcastic one among his friends. |
| 196 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: When he's introduced, he's portrayed as a feared and respected delinquent. When he's revealed to be as big of a ButtMonkey as everyone else, and the show stops playing up his status as a delinquent, however, he stops slicking his hair back and looks more like a normal student. |
| 197 | * ExtremeDoormat: Loses any backbone when dealing with his sister. Justified somewhat in that the one time we see him try to stand up to her ends with him getting his beard forcibly shaved off. |
| 198 | * FaceOfAThug: Though he actually puts a sort of token effort in to act tough. |
| 199 | * GoodHairEvilHair: Motoharu will occasionally appear with his hair slicked back, giving him a more thuggish look. |
| 200 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Karasawa appear to be this. |
| 201 | * InSeriesNickname: "The Delinquent." |
| 202 | * IronicNickname: Despite his nickname being "The Delinquent", he's a dedicated member of the student council who is always at school and is never shown doing anything that could be called delinquent behavior. |
| 203 | * JapaneseDelinquents: Subverted. |
| 204 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a lot more brash than the other two delinquent-looking student council members, but he's still a nice guy. |
| 205 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Like Tadakuni, while he's usually the straight man, he's certainly not above goofing around with the rest of the cast. He even express some regrets for fooling Ringo-chan and fear when his sister brought her friends to bully him. |
| 206 | * OnlySaneMan: Frequently takes on this role when dealing with Hidenori or his older sister. |
| 207 | * ParentalAbandonment: He's pretty much living with Mino. |
| 208 | * PermaStubble: Perhaps the only thing about him that actually makes him look like a delinquent. His older sister and her friends actually shaved it off at one point because Motoharu only had it to evoke RuleOfCool. |
| 209 | * PiratesWhoDontDoAnything: In his introduction scene, Motoharu is introduced as a delinquent. Despite this, he never actually engages in any real delinquent actions throughout the series outside of being ''mistaken'' for one once. Motoharu is actually part of his school's Student Council. He even gets mocked by his older sister and her friends for trying to grow out a beard. |
| 210 | * RealMenCook: To the surprise (and distress) of Mino. |
| 211 | * RedOniBlueOni: While both he and Karasawa are shining examples of the FaceOfAThug trope, he's considerably more short-tempered and edgy than Karasawa is. |
| 212 | * RunningGag: When he does something wrong, he would skip school for the next three days. |
| 213 | * SixthRanger: Frequently serves as a fourth member of the main trio, to the point of eclipsing Tadakuni in the role of the StraightMan. |
| 214 | * StraightMan: To whoever he's currently with. |
| 215 | * SupremeChef: Even after Mino sabotages his food, it still tastes amazing. |

| 224 | A quiet, stoic member of the Student Council who's always seen wearing a hat. Is occasionally reeled into the main group's antics, especially when Motoharu is around as well. |
| 225 | ---- |
| 226 | * AscendedExtra: Generally a sort of redundant character who doesn't do much due to sharing much in common with Motoharu as a character, he gets more focus in the ''High School Girls are Funky'' skits where he actually gets a bit of backstory. This also makes him one of the only characters to regularly interact with both the male and female casts. |
| 227 | * ChickMagnet: Both Tadakuni's little sister and [[spoiler: Habara]] like him. |
| 228 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome |
| 229 | * CustomUniform: Inverted, oddly enough: Karasawa is the only one of his peers who can be counted to be wearing his school uniform's necktie, even during the summer. |
| 230 | * DeadpanSnarker |
| 231 | * FaceOfAThug: Shares this trait with the Vice President and Motoharu. |
| 232 | * FirstNameBasis: Among the cast of ''High School Girls are Funky''. |
| 233 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Appears to be this with Motoharu. |
| 234 | * HiddenEyes: His hat obscures his eyes most of the time. |
| 235 | * HypercompetentSidekick: Compared to Motoharu and the Vice President, he is the only one active in taking his job as a student council seriously. |
| 236 | * JapaneseDelinquents: Subverted as a matter of course. |
| 237 | * LastNameBasis: Among his peers in Sanada North; it stands out as other of his classmates were all in FirstNameBasis. |
| 238 | * NeverBareheaded: Though you ''do'' get to see him without it a handful of times. |
| 239 | * NiceGuy: Generally very kind and helpful, though he can be pretty snarky if you act stupid. |
| 240 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He has a very sharp and prominent nose in comparison to other characters. |
| 241 | * NotSoStoic: Asked Yanagin to allow herself to get a dose of his [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} Kinniku Buster]] as payback for beating him up back in ''Grudge''. |
| 242 | -->'''Habara''': [[LampshadeHanging Toshiyuki does weird things too, sometimes.]] |
| 243 | ** Basically, he gets scared every time Habara approaches him. |
| 244 | * OnlySaneMan: Particularly when alongside the cast of ''High School Girls are Funky''. |
| 245 | * PleaseKeepYourHatOn: His hat hides a horrendous scar from his youth. |
| 246 | * RedOniBlueOni: He's more stoic and reserved than Motoharu. |
| 247 | * ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:Keeps an ugly scar on his forehead as a reminder of an injury inflicted to him by Habara back when she was the "Archdemon". Volume 5 of the manga reveals that this is ''not'' the only one he has -- he has prominent ones on his chest, his arm, and a long one down his back.]] |
| 248 | * TheStoic: He rarely ever yells or loses his cool, as opposed to everyone else in this series. |
| 249 | * StressVomit: He had one during ''High School Girls are Funky: Archdemon'' when he was reminded of [[spoiler:Habara]]. {{Fanon}} takes it to be a persistent trait. |
| 250 | %%* TraumaButton: Habara. |
| 251 | * [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have to Be Habara?]]: [[spoiler: He is extremely Habara-phobic, ever since giving him a nasty wound that left several ugly scars across his body. Shown in extreme detail in ''High School Girls are Funky--Demon''.]] |
| 252 | * ZenSurvivor: [[spoiler:He came out the worst of it out of the Archdemon's victims, and he has [[ScarsAreForever the scars]] to prove it.]] |

| 260 | |
| 261 | A classmate of the main characters. He's also the biggest loser in class. |
| 262 | ---- |
| 263 | * BeadyEyedLoser: His default expression is a tired-looking squint and he's the designated loser in-universe. |
| 264 | * ButtMonkey: The biggest of them all. Not even Tadakuni's "OutOfFocus" syndrome can match up to all the crap that happens to him, so much so even many of Yoshitake's past mishaps ended up being attributed to him. |
| 265 | * CosmicPlaything: Other boys spent whole chapters discussing his misfortunes -- even misattributing others' mishaps ''to him''. |
| 266 | ** In ''High School Boys and Kick the Can'', Hidenori, Yoshitake and Motoharu played a rather physical game of kick-the-can... with his Zaku Gunpla as the can. Turns out they bought him a new Gunpla for his birthday present, but decided to destroy the older one because they're identical. [[ShaggyDogStory Of course, the replacement is actually a bootleg]], and come the next EyeCatch Mitsuo drops it off a trash bin. |
| 267 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler: He was Rubber Shooter at one point.]] |
| 268 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 10's ''High School Boys and Consequences'' is essentially one long string of Mitsuo going from one blunder to another. To top it all off, he ends up completely missing a CrashIntoHello encounter with a girl running LateForSchool when he stops to tie his shoelaces (and even thought [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he actually got lucky there]])... [[FromBadToWorse and then he steps in dog shit]]. |
| 269 | * TheDitz: Falls for the same trick twice in a row without any sort of hesitation, and doesn't understand why Yoshitake starts crying during a sad movie. Hidenori openly expresses how annoyed he is with his inability to understand what's going on without someone telling him to. |
| 270 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: The other guys have no problem making fun of him to his face and are generally very vocal about how stupid and annoying they find him. |
| 271 | * GenreBlind: In ''High School Boys and Annoyances'', Hidenori briefly steps away from his rant about everything he hates about Yoshitake to call Mitsuo out for his inability to read situations and saying that he's annoying to go to movies with as a result. |
| 272 | * InformedFlaw: While he ''does'' come off as fairly annoying and a bit dim, the way the other guys talk about him you'd think he'd be some sort of lumbering idiot. |
| 273 | * ManChild: Is a notoriously picky eater and only sings children's songs during karaoke. |
| 274 | * PetTheDog: ''High School Boys and Kick the Can'' has Hidenori, Yoshitake and Motoharu all pitch their money together to buy him a new Gundam model. [[ButtMonkey It turns out to be a knock off]], but Mitsuo seems to be happy that they even cared about him enough to do it. |
| 275 | * PornStash: Keeps one in his house. His parents discovering it caused his HeroicBSOD in ''High School Boys and Mitsuo's Problem''. |
| 276 | * StrawLoser: He pretty much exists to be humiliated. |
| 277 | * TheTrickster: His "killer shots" in ''High School Boys and Killer Shots'' all amounted to being a CombatPragmatist. |

| 285 | A student from Sanada West High and a classmate of the Literature Girl, who lives across the street from Karasawa and Habara. |
| 286 | ---- |
| 287 | * ButtMonkey: Not so much as the main cast but given how he is neighbors with Habara, was once played by the Overly Self-Conscious Girl, and barely has some screentime, he is considered to be this. |
| 288 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Mostly due to having to be neighbors with Habara. |

| 320 | |
| 321 | A girl from Sanada West High who lives next to Karasawa. Like her DistaffCounterpart Tadakuni, Yanagin and Ikushima frequently hangs out at her house. [[spoiler:Eight years ago, however, she was the "Archdemon," the [[TheBully most dreaded kid in town]]. After a joint effort to "pacify" her by other kids, amongst which were Yanagin and "Rubber Shooter", she has completely changed for the good.]] |
| 322 | ---- |
| 323 | * ACupAngst: Becomes distressed when she hears Karasawa say he prefers big breasts. The typical interaction for this trope doesn't happen because Karasawa quickly tells her to please go away. |
| 324 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: She is attracted to Karasawa and erroneously thinks that he harbors some attraction towards her; in reality, he's afraid of her and wants nothing to do with her. |
| 325 | * AxCrazy: [[spoiler:As a child.]] |
| 326 | * TheBully: [[spoiler:She used to be.]] |
| 327 | * CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:She has absolutely no understanding of the concept of fair play. She doesn't punch, she ''gouges''. She was even ready to bash Yanagin and Ikushima's heads with a large rock when they prepared to fight each other. Cue a [[OhCrap a look of horror]] from both girls.]] |
| 328 | * DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler:A very young one as the Archdemon.]] |
| 329 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Tadakuni. |
| 330 | * DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: [[spoiler:[[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] -- her social life with ''any male'' in town has been ''completely ruined'' by her days as the "Archdemon".]] |
| 331 | * DudeNotFunny: InUniverse -- her reaction to [[spoiler:Yanagin's account of the fight against her during her "Archdemon" days]]. |
| 332 | * EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:Was once this.]] |
| 333 | * TheGenericGirl: Completely generic and unremarkable aside from all the spoiler bits. |
| 334 | * GirlNextDoor: Literally, too, as she lives right next to Karasawa. |
| 335 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler:As Archdemon.]] |
| 336 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:She would fall into HeroicBSOD whenever any reminder of her history as the Archdemon is raised. When Karasawa removes his hat, exposing his scar, she immediatey starts weeping and offers him some money from her wallet as an act of contrition.]] |
| 337 | * HiddenDepths: In spite of her status as the OnlySaneMan of the three, Habara is by far [[spoiler:the most dangerous under wraps. It's shown that everything is otherwise fine with her as long as she's not involved in a fight; should that be the case, she'll aim to cause as much bodily harm to her opponents as she can muster. Though she has learned to feel remorse, she is still just as gung-ho as she was when she was little]]. |
| 338 | * InformedAbility: Despite her extensive backstory detailing her as a EnfantTerrible OneManArmy that the rest of the cast is terrified of, her actual character is more or less a female Tadakuni. This makes any and all references to her past inherently hilarious. |
| 339 | * {{Irony}}: One of the kinder, sweeter girls in the series is at the same time [[spoiler:the most dangerous person most of the characters have ever come across]]. |
| 340 | * {{Kawaiiko}}: According to Yanagin's senpai. |
| 341 | * LastNameBasis: With pretty much everyone. |
| 342 | * LovingBully: [[spoiler:To Karasawa. Unfortunately for her, his experience with her has left him traumatized and scared shitless of her.]] |
| 343 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:She permanently scarred Karasawa's face and is shown to be deeply ashamed and regretful of what she did to him. She tries her best to be nice to him, but he's nowhere near forgiving her for her deeds. This is a notable and particularly serious aspect of an otherwise comedic series.]]. |
| 344 | * NiceGirl: Nowadays, at least. |
| 345 | * OneManArmy: [[spoiler:Ten kids, amongst which were Yanagin and the "Rubber Shooter", can barely make a draw with the "Archdemon".]] |
| 346 | * NoFullNameGiven: Habara is her surname. |
| 347 | * RedBaron: [[spoiler:"Archdemon"]] |
| 348 | * RedFilterOfDoom: [[spoiler:During her flashbacks.]] |
| 349 | * ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler:Everyone in town still remembers her as the "Archdemon" rather than the sweet, generic GirlNextDoor she is now. Yes, she has kissed her romantic life and larger-scale friendships goodbye since ''third grade''.]] |
| 350 | -->[[spoiler:'''Takahiro:''' "Perhaps it's better for her to leave this town."]] |

| 352 | * SailorFuku |
| 353 | * StalkerWithACrush: Towards Karasawa. She'd be an incredibly mild version of this if it weren't for the fact that Karasawa is absolutely terrified of her. |
| 354 | * StraightMan: Towards the more oddball Yanagin and Ikushima. |
| 355 | * SuperStrength: [[spoiler:Unanimated chapters show that she ''still'' has her powers from her "Archdemon" days, and is [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength largely unaware of that.]]]] |
| 356 | ** [[spoiler:In ''High School Girls are Funky -- Superficially'', she incidentally bursted a volleyball.]] |
| 357 | ** [[spoiler:In ''High School Girls are Funky -- [[MegatonPunch Megaton Poke]]'', Yanagin had Habara try out the"punch machine" in the arcade in which the former just broke the new record. While Habara didn't get as many points as Yanagin by far... close inspections revealed a hole on the punching pad after Habara played with it, and upon asking Habara said she didn't know she has to clench his fist in the first place...]] |
| 358 | * TearsOfRemorse: [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs -- frequently cries these whenever other people bring up her past as the "Archdemon".]] |
| 359 | * TownGirls: With Yanagin and Ikushima. She's the femme. |
| 360 | * WalkingSpoiler: Almost a subversion. Despite the extensive amount of time devoted to her backstory, her past has no impact or even immediate connection to her character, making it irrelevant. This is of course PlayedForLaughs. |

| 367 | |
| 368 | Habara's oddball friend from Sanada Central High, who, like her DistaffCounterpart Hidenori, often has something to say (translate: scream) about high school boys. |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * ActionGirl: {{Downplayed}} -- she knows karate but has discontinued since middle school. This is still plot relevant as [[spoiler:for this reason (among others) she was part of the team that barely "pacified" Habara in the past]]. |
| 371 | * AlwaysSecondBest: To NAGO in their school. |
| 372 | * AmbiguouslyGay: She has an outspoken hatred of men and threatens to rape Ikushima for being obnoxious a few times. She clearly intends for said threats to solely come across as violent, however, and otherwise doesn't express sexual attraction to anyone. |
| 373 | * BerserkButton: The idea of dating -- see "CelibateHero". |
| 374 | * BoisterousWeakling: She has some amount of skill at karate, but she hardly measures up to the terrifying level of threats she constantly makes. |
| 375 | * TheBully: Somewhat ironically, while Habara has left her bullying ways almost completely behind her, Yanagin still seems to get most of her kicks out of insulting, deriding, hitting and otherwise inflicting abuse upon other people. Also, like a stereotypical bully, she much prefers to do so from a position of strength or to people who can't or won't defend themselves: the only two times she tries to overpower people with actual martial arts skills [[spoiler: outside of the flashback]] she gets her ass humiliatingly handed over to her. |
| 376 | * CelibateHero: She hates the idea of dating in general, and has reacted violently at Ikushima when the latter wondered how can she get a boyfriend (punched her face in), or suggested that she wears glasses to look cute (threatened to rape her and eventually beat her up with a wrench). |
| 377 | * ComedicSociopathy: She engages in (and even more often, threatens people with) some pretty horrific acts of physical violence, but the show always treats it with humor. |
| 378 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Hidenori. |
| 379 | * DoesNotLikeMen: Played with -- while she claims boys are pathetic puddles of mess, she can actually get along well with them, especially Karasawa and Takahiro, [[spoiler:not to mention that she was one of the kids assembled to fight the "Archdemon" with intent to avenge Karasawa's terrible wound]]. |
| 380 | * GeniusBruiser: Despite her brutish nature and love of fighting, it turns out that she routinely gets the second highest test average in their grade. She ([[UnreliableNarrator claims that she]]) would've been able to do even better, but any more studying would cut into her "beating people up" time. |
| 381 | * GenreSavvy: She's at least aware of gender perceptions as portrayed during the [[TurnOfTheMillennium previous decade]]'s fiction. |
| 382 | * HairTriggerTemper: It really doesn't take much. Just talking about dating is enough to warrant a punch to the face from her. |
| 383 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:As a kid she was originally a part of Habara's gang, but turned to the alliance because...]] |
| 384 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:...of what happened to Karasawa.]] |
| 385 | * HotBlooded: Even moreso than Hidenori, if that's possible. |
| 386 | * HugeSchoolgirl: Like "ActionGirl," it was {{downplayed}} -- while she's now no different from any other girls in this series, at the time she [[spoiler:fought with the Archdemon]], she was considered big. |
| 387 | * {{Jerkass}}: She loves to abuse her karate skills on others and is generally bossy and ill-tempered. |
| 388 | * JustJokingJustification: Uses it frequently, when she noticed what she said or done has rubbed [[spoiler:Habara]] the wrong way. |
| 389 | * LargeHam: Unlike Hidenori, she is very public about it. |
| 390 | * MoralityPet: [[spoiler:A self-imposed one for Habara, always keeping an eye on her in case she relapses back into being the "Archdemon".]] |
| 391 | * NoIndoorVoice: You'll want to turn the volume down whenever she talks. It's ''brutal''. |
| 392 | * OneOfTheBoys: Or at least, she thinks she is. Karasawa, however, informs her that the boys she hangs out with think that she is too vulgar and hard to get along with. |
| 393 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: {{Downplayed}}. Yanagin, the name her neighbours call her, is actually a diminutive of "Yanagi," a name her classmates in Central Perfectual would more likely use. |
| 394 | * StrawFeminist: Hates boys and considers girls superior in every way. Pretty much subverted though, as she actually has no problem hanging out with them. |
| 395 | * {{Tomboy}}: A very mild case. |
| 396 | * TownGirls: With Habara and Ikushima. She's the butch. |
| 397 | * TsurimeEyes |

| 408 | ---- |
| 409 | * ActionGirl: She is an active wrestler. |
| 410 | * ButtMonkey: Yanagin kicks the shit out of her frequently, and still threatens her with bodily harm on the occasions when she doesn't. |
| 411 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Yoshitake. Hilariously enough, when the two interact with one another, it's incredibly awkward. |
| 412 | * TheDitz: More so than Yoshitake. She comes off as an unintelligent brute most of the time. |
| 413 | * TheFool: Similarly to Yoshitake, she will generally back up whatever Yanagin's does no matter how ridiculous. |
| 414 | * GirlishPigtails |
| 415 | * HypocriticalHumor: Criticizes boys about putting on airs when she does the same thing herself. Yoshitake instantly recognizes what she's doing, but decides to keep silent and just play along. |
| 416 | * {{Jerkass}}: Not quite to the same extent as Yanagin, but she becomes equally as volatile when the two are together. |
| 417 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Puts on an air of knowing all about high school boys when she has no experience with them at all (except with Karasawa.) |
| 418 | * LastNameBasis: Everyone just calls her by her last name. |
| 419 | * NoFullNameGiven |
| 420 | * SatelliteCharacter: While Habara and Yanagin have steadily developed fully-fledged characters due to the Archdemon backstory, Ikushima hasn't gotten any more characterization beyond being Yoshitake's DistaffCounterpart and Yanagin's sidekick/punching bag. |
| 421 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Hardly feminine, but can cook, sew and shows the most interest in getting a boyfriend. |
| 422 | * TownGirls: With Habara and Yanagin. She's neither, as while she's almost as violent as Yanagin she makes more effort to try and be feminine. |

| 436 | |
| 437 | A girl from Sanada West High who wrote a RomanceNovel about [[BoyMeetsGirl an encounter]] between a girl [[BlowYouAway who can control wind]] and a geeky, solitary boy, and ''then'' tried to reenact it in the series' RealLife. HilarityEnsues, especially when she projects the "boy" to Hidenori, who is well-aware of what she's trying to invoke... |

| 439 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Treated as one by Hidenori, who, although he doesn't find her unattractive, is weirded out enough by her fantasies that he goes through great lengths to avoid meeting her. |
| 440 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: She crushes ''hard'' on Hidenori. Unfortunately, he's too weirded out by her to reciprocate. |
| 441 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Seems like one but the aloofness soon turns out to be shyness. And she's voiced by Creator/YokoHikasa. |
| 442 | * ChaseScene: Runs after Hidenori in Episode 10's ''High School Boys and Running'' after he left her a note (on the previous skit, ''High School Boys and Winter'') asking her to return [[ComfortingComforter his overcoat he left on her]] [[BrickJoke way back in Episode 7]]... all because Hidenori saw her walking with her classmate Takahiro to school, then casually walked away -- she wanted to make sure [[NotWhatItLooksLike Hidenori didn't get the wrong idea]]. |
| 443 | * TheChewToy: In particular, ''High School Boys and the Way You Are''. |

| 445 | %%* CuteClumsyGirl |
| 446 | * CuteLittleFangs |
| 447 | * EpicFail: Her segment in Episode 7, ''High School Boys and The Way You Are'', is basically one string of failure after failure -- her papers were blown away, she stumbles to the ground, fails to open a box of [[BlandNameProduct Band-Ages]] with her fingernails, coughs out her drink, accidentally lets out a trail of snot, gets her tissues blown away, and ''finally'' slides and hits Hidenori -- ending with her breaking down crying. [[FromBadToWorse Then Hidenori accidentally headbutts her into unconsciousness while standing up, as a coup de grace to an incredibly humiliating day]]. |
| 448 | * GeekyTurnOn: To repeat, the protagonist in her novel is a "solitary, introverted {{otaku}}." {{Downplayed}} as Hidenori is not one. |
| 449 | * HimeCut: The visual aspect of the hairstyle is perfect but the characterization is a subversion. She tries to be elegant, dignified, "cool" etc. but comes off as weird and often humiliates herself. |
| 450 | * HypocriticalHumor: In ''High School Boys and Assertiveness'', she says that girls flirting with guys in public are shameless. Takahiro and his friend immediately [[LampshadeHanging remind her that she chased Hidenori down]]. |
| 451 | * ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhXZTK-ifmw Here]]. |
| 452 | * InelegantBlubbering: Any kind of humiliation would bring her into this, such as: |
| 453 | ** At the end of ''High School Boys and Literature Girl'', when the [[LongingForFictionland reason for her strange antics towards Hidenori]] was discovered. |
| 454 | ** Breaking down crying ''like a little child'' after a humiliating string of {{Epic Fail}}s in ''High School Boys and The Way You Are''. |
| 455 | ** At the end of ''High School Boys and Assertiveness'', when Takahiro reminded her of how she chased Hidenori across town. |
| 456 | * InformedAbility: Character sketches portray her as an otherwise sociable, popular girl in Sanada West High... when not sitting next to Hidenori. |
| 457 | * {{Leitmotif}}: A lonely piano piece, which resonates well with her seemingly solitary nature, but is also non-indicative of the hilarity that ensues from her interactions with Hidenori. It was even used as [[PlaceholderTitles the ED for the first episode]]. |
| 458 | ** PlayedForLaughs as the piece often plays for a few seconds before getting interrupted by some funny event. |
| 459 | * LongingForFictionLand: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] ''and'' PlayedForLaughs. Slightly {{downplayed}} as she's only in "fictionland mode" when on that ArtificialRiverbank or close to Hidenori; ''High School Boys and Assertiveness'' shown a bit of her loud other side. |
| 460 | * MostWritersAreWriters |
| 461 | * MysteriousWaif: The opening seems to set her as one, and even her introduction tried to invoke (see WrongGenreSavvy). But it's subverted [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]] when she starts to act weird and Hidenori realizes what she's trying to do. |
| 462 | --> '''Hidenori''': "There's no reason to pretend to be cool." |
| 463 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: Chased Hidenori in Episode 10 to clear up any misunderstanding caused by him seeing her walking with Takahiro. |
| 464 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Literature Girl" is how the ''author and the viewers'' call her. In-Universe she's only known as "Yassan." |
| 465 | ** A strange note: Some UsefulNotes/ChineseLanguage {{fansub}} groups would even translate "Yassan" into "Literature Girl." |
| 466 | * TheQuietOne: Only when she's with Hidenori; she just uttered 2 lines in the 5 skits involving Hidenori. She is more talkative with her classmates like Takahiro. |
| 467 | * SailorFuku |
| 468 | * ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: When she's around Hidenori on that riverbank, she goes full into this mode. |
| 469 | * TsurimeEyes |
| 470 | * WrongGenreSavvy: She doesn't seem to realize that she's in a comedy series, and thus all her attempts to invoke romantic love tropes end up backfiring and humiliating her, most of the time. |
| 471 | * {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs. For an example, just ask the "Overly Self-Conscious Girl" -- the latter received her DeathGlare just because ''Hidenori'' happened to sit next to the latter on the ArtificialRiverbank. %%Better summary needed for this. |

| 477 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AoiYuuki |
| 478 | |
| 479 | StudentCouncilPresident of the all-girls Sanada East High, who's determined to prove the superiority of girls over boys. |
| 480 | ---- |
| 481 | * BelligerentSexualTension: With the Student Council President. |
| 482 | * BigEater: In ''High School Boys and Getting Hit On'', she ate a whole plate of takoyaki and two taiyaki in short succession -- and she wants ''more''. |
| 483 | * BlushSticker |
| 484 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: How did a [[TheDitz complete airhead]] like her even managed to become the StudentCouncilPresident of Sanada East High? |
| 485 | * TheDitz: She's not the brightest bulb in town. For example, on a visit to Sanada North High in ''High School Girls and Panties'', it took her ''an hour'' to find out the reason for a lost internet connection: ''the cable was never plugged on''. Then she unwittingly flaunts her panties to Motoharu, the President and the Vice-President; fortunately for her she doesn't get to see them in the act, much less their [[HeelRealization horrified reaction]]. |
| 486 | * DoesNotLikeMen: Played with. She is introduced as such, but mellows out to the boys' Student Council members. |
| 487 | * DudeMagnet: Gets hit on in short order by ''three'' different groups of guys, the last of whom was the Student Council President. |
| 488 | * GenreBlind: During ''High School Boys and the Savior'', she clearly couldn't read the mood, even though Motoharu, Karasawa and the Vice-President were trying to set up a RescueRomance scenario for her. |
| 489 | * HeavySleeper: In the unanimated ''High School Boys and Napping'', after falling asleep in a meeting with North High's student council... [[spoiler:The boys put ''more than a dozen'' books on her head and she didn't wake for the slightest.]] |
| 490 | * HotBlooded |
| 491 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: {{Downplayed}} as she already has superiority undercurrents before her first visit to Sanada North, but was only fired up because she found Sanada North's Student Council a more well-managed institution than her school's. |
| 492 | * InformedAttractiveness: Played with. Ringo apparently fulfills the requirements for everything a high school boy covets in a girl to the most minute detail, yet neither she nor the boys describing her characteristics seem to notice these aspects of her. |
| 493 | * KindHeartedCatLover: Karasawa was able to distract her once by meowing from his nostrils. |
| 494 | * {{Leitmotif}}: While not as noticeable as Literature Girl's, Ringo also has a goofy one, which can be heard during her visits to the Sanada North Student Council. |
| 495 | * NiceGirl: As nice as the series goes, especially considering that the girl characters in the series that are not psychopaths are borderline jerkasses. |
| 496 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She says that she's older than the Vice-President, who's 17, but her height and mannerisms make her look younger than she is. |
| 497 | * OneOfTheBoys: She spends most of her time with the Student Council of Sanada North High. |
| 498 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: To ridiculous extents such that North High's student council sometimes calls her "Ringo-chan-san," treating "Ringo-chan" as if it was a proper first name. |
| 499 | * PutOnABus: Not Ringo herself, but the two girls that followed her to the boy's council room in the episode she debuted in. |
| 500 | * StrawFeminist: A very mild example. |
| 501 | * StudentCouncilPresident |
| 502 | * {{Tsundere}}: Type B -- she actually gets along fine with other people, like the members of the Sanada North student council, but she reacts violently to the antics of their pretty-boy Student Council President. |
| 503 | * WardrobeFlawOfCharacterization: The longer she hangs around the Sanada North High School student council, the more she gains their dress sense. It comes to the point where she's not even wearing her necktie, sweater vest, or even tucking in her uniform blouse into her skirt anymore. |

| 513 | Tadakuni's younger sister and a freshman at Sanada Central High. Despite talking with Tadakuni only once a month, she often ends up getting involved in her brother and his friends' hijinks. |
| 514 | ---- |
| 515 | * TheDreaded: All high school boys fear her wrath. She could honestly be considered the second generation of the Archdemon. |
| 516 | * EveryonesBabySister: Even though she is tremendously intimidating, once the boys find out that a boy in her class raised his hand against her, they '''all''' show up once he calls her again in order to defend her should the little shit attempt anything against her. [[spoiler:He apologizes to her, though]]. |
| 517 | * TheFaceless: Any attempts in seeing her eyes is covered by her hair. |
| 518 | * GirlishPigtails |
| 519 | * HairTriggerTemper |
| 520 | * HeroAntagonist: Compared to the other female students, who generally just come off as jerkasses, Mei only ever attacks the guys when they provoke her, which happens to be almost constantly. |
| 521 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 522 | ** While she's almost exclusively seen in full TranquilFury mode beating the boys to a pulp, there are occasional glimpses of her outside of this that show her to be surprisingly shy and unsure of herself. |
| 523 | ** She states to his brother's friends that, given the choice, she'd date Karasawa. However, Karasawa immediately makes a joke out of it, earning her ire. |
| 524 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Her brother and his dumb friends are a little ''too'' prone to stealing her underwear. Not only that, but also there's the fact that they're equally prone to lying about doing the deed in the first place. |
| 525 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She sometimes eavesdrops on the boys' conversations and becomes just as engrossed in them as they are. |
| 526 | * PetTheDog: She immediately helps Tadakuni from being choked from eating a mochi. |
| 527 | ** She also apologized to the Vice President when she learns that he was trying to kill the hornet on her back. |
| 528 | * TheQuietOne: Rarely gets more than one line a skit and is very selective with her words. |
| 529 | * RunningGag: Her brother and his friends keep [[PantyThief stealing her lingerie]]. |
| 530 | ** Both in the manga and in the anime her eyes are always blocked from the camera when they should be visible unlike the other faceless girls who just don't have them. The manga takes advantage of strategically placed sound effects and dialogue bubbles but the anime has the characters she interacts with casually obstructing her face using hands and fingers. |
| 531 | * TheStoic: Doesn't speak much and almost always is in a state of TranquilFury. |
| 532 | * SuperStrength: In ''High School Boys and Tower'' she can lift both Hidenori ''and'' Motoharu on her shoulders, and in ''High School Boys and UFO Catchers'' she can shake a UFO Catcher at the arcades which the main trio ''together'' couldn't even move. |
| 533 | -->'''Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake, [[SpeakInUnison in unison]]:''' "[[LampshadeHanging Just what IS she?]]" |
| 534 | * TranquilFury: Almost never raises her voice but is almost always shown in a simmering rage. |

| 551 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: She is blissfully unaware of the fact that she bullies her brother, and that she's not doing him any favors either when it comes to her friends doing the same to him. |
| 552 | * {{Jerkass}}: Despite what the quote says, her treatment of Motoharu is, at worst, abusive. |

| 593 | * CoolBigSis: To Tadakuni. |
| 594 | * DeadpanSnarker: She is quite blunt with her words. |
| 595 | * {{Gonk}}: Downplayed. While not quite ugly, on a show with OnlySixFaces and GenericCuteness on full display she still manages to look fairly dumpy and unappealing. |
| 596 | * HugeSchoolgirl: WordOfGod said her height is 171cm. |
| 597 | * ImStandingRightHere: She expresses annoyance at the fact that her co-workers chit-chat among themselves as if she, first, weren't there, and second, weren't a girl. |
| 598 | * InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Nago and NAGO (though their names are written differently in kanji -- 奈古 versus 名護) go to the same school, and the latter looks exactly like her slim and cute reflection in a concave mirror. |
