| 10 | ->"No, it’s not fifty, it’s five-0. It’s what my dad used to call our family, because we weren’t native Hawaiian. Five-0. I don’t know; it was his way of making us feel like we belonged somewhere I guess." |
| 11 | |
| 12 | A former Navy SEAL with intelligence experience, current Navy reservist, and leader of the Five-0 Task Force. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AloofBigBrother: To Mary at first, but he’s getting better. |
| 15 | * AntiHero: Mostly nice if snarky guy that loves dogs, goes completely out of his way to help those around him if he isn't too injured to do it, and fights crime to do the right thing. Also totally willing to take cheap shots at criminals, inflict the JackBauerInterrogationTechnique, go against orders and even entirely off-the-record if he thinks it's necessary, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking troll Danny at every opportunity he gets]], and has an obscenely high body count to his name. He's also wracked with so much guilt over his failures that he sometimes ends up being anything but the action hero badass he usually is at work. |
| 16 | * BerserkButton: Do not hurt, threaten, or breathe wrong near [=McGarrett=]'s family and friends. Children who lose a parent also seem to be a trigger for him (i.e. "Ohana" and "He Kane Hewa' Ole"). |
| 17 | * BeyondTheImpossible: He's shrugged off the bends from a 150-meter ascent in the ocean, something that disabled the perp in the same episode. He flew a helicopter straight into a forest fire's excessive smoke to save his team, and flies off without even so much as a cough. He's fought through entire platoons, gotten tortured extensively in ways that would kill or break most men for life, and gotten back up to fight again. The series eventually reaches a point where the Honolulu Police Department, national agencies, international groups abroad and even his own Five-0 squad tend to look to Steve first if someone needs to do something impossibly dangerous to save the day. |
| 18 | * BigScrewedUpFamily: [[spoiler: Thanks to the events of the 100th episode, Steve is very much a part of one.]] |
| 19 | * BloodKnight: Prone to taking violent actions against perps and tends to enjoy it, especially if they [[BerserkButton pushed one of his buttons]]. |
| 20 | * BondOneLiner: Generally good for these. |
| 21 | * CainAndAbel: A stepbrother example. Steve [=McGarrett=] is the Abel to BigBad Wo Fat's Cain. |
| 22 | * CloudCuckooLander: His idea of a "special date" is eating plate lunch in a truck (at [[ProductPlacement Rainbow]]). At least there's "romantic music" ([[HairMetal 80s Hair Bands]]). He also has occasional cravings for [=MREs=]. |
| 23 | ** His lesson in survival skills to a group of ten year-old [[ScoutOut Aloha Girls]] includes teaching them military tactics ("We're going to talk about the kill zone now...") and how to ''throw knives.'' |
| 24 | -->'''Steve:''''' (super happy grin)'' Who wants to learn how to do ''that''? |
| 25 | * ControlFreak: Steve likes to be in control of any situation he's involved in. This includes drug busts, shootouts with the Yakuza, driving Danny's Camaro, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking manning the barbeque at a backyard picnic]]. It's lampshaded on several occasions by Danny, Kono, and even Chin. |
| 26 | * CowboyCop: Treats criminals as enemies to be defeated as if it were a war, and thus frequently ignores police procedure in favor of more expedient tactics. |
| 27 | -->'''Danny''': Let's just try not to get the new girl blown up, kidnapped, or shot on her first day. That's all. Can we do that, Steven? |
| 28 | -->'''Steve''': I can't guarantee that. |
| 29 | * CrazyPrepared: Not many cops have grenades in the car, especially if it's not their own. He always has several knives and guns on his person, and it's not unusual for Steve to hide other not-so-legal weapons in strange parts of the Camaro as well. |
| 30 | * DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: [[spoiler: The nature of his mother's real job with the CIA prompted Steve's dad to send him away for his own safety.]] |
| 31 | * DeadGuyJunior: Named for his grandfather who died in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. |
| 32 | * DeadpanSnarker: Which makes for a lot of snarktastic conversations between him and Snark Master Danny. |
| 33 | * {{Determinator}}: If he starts something, he ''will'' finish it and not even being physically unable to move will stop him for long. |
| 34 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: No matter what he's driving. And it doesn't help that at least 90% of the time Steve is the [[RunningGag one driving Danny's Camaro]]. The latter never fails to complain about said driving skills or riding shotgun, either. |
| 35 | * EmotionalBruiser: Despite being a total badass, Steve does not even try to hide his affection and protectiveness towards those close to him. The ManHug of relief is a common reaction on his part to friends surviving deadly danger and he's always doting and affectionate with Danny's daughter, Gracie. |
| 36 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric. |
| 37 | * AFriendInNeed: Will do pretty much anything to help his friends, which occasionally leads to him becoming this trope in the process. |
| 38 | * TheHero[=/=]TheBigGuy: Fills both roles. He's the lead character who believes strongly in justice and making criminals do their time but also can be a brash goofball who [[MadeOfIron tanks hits like they're not even there]]. |
| 39 | * HonoraryUncle: To Danny's children, Grace and Charlie. |
| 40 | * ItsPersonal: With cases involving his father or his friends. |
| 41 | * JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: With more than a side of TortureForFunAndInformation. |
| 42 | * KnightTemplarBigBrother: To Mary. |
| 43 | * MacGyvering: Or, as Danny calls it, "Steve The Science Guy". |
| 44 | * MadeOfIron: Somewhat justified due to his background as a Navy SEAL, who are infamous for taking an insane amount of damage and just walking away from it. Steve takes ''a lot'' of physical and mental abuse, being tortured on numerous occasions, witnessing the murder of several friends and family members, and taking hits for his teammates whenever possible. This is also a guy that took a boulder to the face while climbing, broke his arm from the fall that ensued, and managed to bounce back in short order even if in a cast for the rest of the episode, and in another episode mostly shrugged off the bends from a 150-meter ascent underwater to the surface, whereas the episode's perp landed themselves in an ICU from the same feat. |
| 45 | * MagneticHero: By the Season 2 premiere, all the original members of Five-0 have clearly indicated their first loyalty is to [=McGarrett=]. Even Kamekona is willing to enact a BolivianArmyEnding if Steve gives him the word. |
| 46 | * MilitaryMaverick: Is not any better at following rules when doing military duty than he is as a cop. |
| 47 | ** Ironically, he clashed with his superior in "He ke'u na ka 'alae a Hin" because he refused to use the JackBauerInterrogationTechnique on a captured terrorist, insisting on creating a rapport with him using dignity and kindness. |
| 48 | * MissingMom: He believed she was killed in an accident but, as it turns out, she was a CIA operative who faked her death to protect her family. [[spoiler: She dies in season 10]]. |
| 49 | * MistakenForGay: With Danny, more and more. |
| 50 | * MrFanservice: Steve has a bad (or good) habit of taking his shirt off whenever the opportunity presents itself. |
| 51 | * OddCouple: With Danny. |
| 52 | * ThatOneCase: For [=McGarrett=], it's the Story Arc concerning the contents of the Champ box and his father's relationship with the Yakuza and Wo Fat. |
| 53 | * OneManArmy: He's a Navy SEAL, so it's to be expected, but Danny has taken to calling him an animal due to his very aggressive nature and ethos. |
| 54 | * PapaWolf: Steve easily rivals Danny in protective instincts when it comes to Gracie. When they discover provocative pictures of a young girl that were taken by her so-called second father-figure, Steve agrees with Danny that he'd kill anyone who tried something similar with Grace. |
| 55 | -->'''Danny''': I do not think these were taken by a second father... If I found somebody taking pictures of Grace like this, I'd go to their house and I'd kill them. |
| 56 | -->'''Steve''': Yeah... me, too. |
| 57 | * TraumaCongaLine: Pretty much his life from the first episode on. His father is murdered while he's on the phone with him, he learns 20 years later that his mother was also murdered, discovers the real reason his father sent him away after his mother died, he's betrayed by a former member of his SEAL team who shoots up his house and tries to kill him, his sister is kidnapped over his continuing of his father's investigation, he's framed for murder by his boss, then discovers that she was EvilAllAlong and only started 5-0 to keep him occupied, then he gets framed for her murder and sent to prison where he gets shivved by the guy who killed his father. After that was cleared up, he was betrayed by a former 5-0 teammate and turned over to Wo Fat who had him beaten and tortured for information he doesn't have. And then he discovers his mother is still alive, which starts a conga line of its own. He doesn't seem to get a break. |
| 58 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Danny. |
| 59 | * WhiteMaleLead: He's white, he's male, and he's the lead, though the show itself averts MonochromeCasting. |
| 60 | * YouKilledMyFather: To Victor Hesse, who Steve very much wants to rip apart. Wo Fat is also on the receiving end of this trope, due to him ordering Hesse to eliminate Steve's father. |
| 61 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Played for laughs when Steve and Danny show up at a sorority house to question a person of interest. Upon seeing them, one of the sorority girls calls out to another girl and says that [[MistakenForGay her dads]] are there to pick her up. Steve is very much affronted... by [[BrainlessBeauty being mistaken]] for the father of a college student. |
| 62 | -->'''Steve''': I'm sorry, you think I look old enough to be her father? |
| 63 | -->'''Danny''': That? ''That's'' the part you bumped on? |

| 70 | ->"Why do you do that? I had my fantasy worked out. You're like a devourer of dreams. You know what I mean. You, like, eat them. You're like a little Pacman in cargo pants." |
| 71 | |
| 72 | Formerly of the Newark, New Jersey Police Department, he transferred to Honolulu PD after his ex-wife Rachel took their daughter there. He insists that he hates Hawaii and only tolerates it because it's where his daughter is. |
| 73 | ---- |
| 74 | * ActionDad: He's a special task force police officer who loves playing dolls with his young daughter and isn't afraid to rip apart anybody who's stupid enough to cross him and his team. |
| 75 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Very prone to this, especially where Steve and Grace are concerned. |
| 76 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: Believes in psychics but not ghosts even though he ''met'' one in one episode. |
| 77 | * BadassNormal: He may not be a Navy SEAL or Soviet-trained spy or CIA operative, but Danny can hold his own when the chips are down and has even saved OneManArmy Steve's butt a time or five. |
| 78 | * BerserkButton: Don't mess with Danno's friends. And do NOT come between him and his daughter. |
| 79 | ** Ever since Grace was kidnapped, anyone that abducts children has also become this for Danny. After finding a man who kidnapped a little girl, Danny gave him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that surprised even Steve, whom has done some pretty harsh things himself to suspects. |
| 80 | ** On a lighter note, PlayedForLaughs, is his issue with the word "classified". Don't use that word on him outside of a case or he will rant your brains out. |
| 81 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Danny's a friendly, outgoing guy who adores his daughter, enjoys hanging out with his friends, and doesn't hesitate to help those in need. But hurt innocents or his friends and family? If that's the case, then he'll gladly strap you to the front of his Camaro with bungee cords and drive through heavy traffic while ignoring all of Steve's complaints about [[DoubleStandard Double Standards]] in interrogation procedure. |
| 82 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: To Grace on more than one occasion. As an example, he had a 11-year-old boy investigated by the police because he was flirting with his daughter. |
| 83 | * CainAndAbel: The Abel to little brother [[spoiler: Matt's]] Cain. |
| 84 | * CowboyCop[=/=]ByTheBookCop: He tries to be the latter but keeps getting pulled towards the former by [=McGarrett=]. |
| 85 | ** He is the former during a dream sequence of "Ina Paha", where he and [=McGarrett=] are visiting an incarcerated Victor Hesse at the hospital. Danny says that because [[Music/{{U2}} Victor Hesse]] is not a U.S. Citizen, he has no access to protections guaranteed by the Constitution. Taken to severe extremes when [[spoiler: he shoots Victor in the knee]]. |
| 86 | * DeadpanSnarker: Perhaps the biggest one on the whole show. Steve and criminals are his usual targets, but anybody's fair game if they do something to annoy or amuse him. |
| 87 | -->'''Danny''': I have the number of a therapist that I wanna give you. Walk -- up steps -- like a human. |
| 88 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Considering he'd been knocked out, stabbed and attacked with intent to kill by a would-be girlfriend's insane and murderous ex, he doesn't exactly raise a single concern with her fatally running the bastard over to keep him from hunting either of them down again. |
| 89 | * FairCop: |
| 90 | ** "Mana'o" ends with Danno in his Newark PD dress uniform. |
| 91 | ** "Kapu". Chin gets an e-mail with a photo attachment. Said photo is Danno posing for the Newark PD "Mr. November" calendar back in 1998. |
| 92 | * FirstFatherWins: Zigzagged throughout the early seasons due to Danny's custody battles with his ex-wife and her very rich new husband. However, as of the fifth season, Danny has received [[spoiler: custody of Grace and an order from the judge to keep her in Hawaii instead of moving to Las Vegas with her mother and stepfather.]] |
| 93 | * FishOutOfWater: New Jersey native Danny doesn't like Hawaii, or as he calls it: |
| 94 | -->'''Danno''': ...this pineapple-infested hellhole. |
| 95 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic. |
| 96 | * GoodParents: He's an excellent father and does everything he can to spend time with Grace. |
| 97 | * HairTriggerTemper: Danny's rants about Hawaii and the insanity of his partner are as common as criminals on the show. Certain things set him off more than others, like kidnapping or hurting children, hiding grenades in his car, kicking in doors without any warning, and [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking eating pineapple pizza]]. |
| 98 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Danny is a major dog-lover and in "Lapa'au", he's more than willing to adopt the orphaned dog of a dead customs agent. He even forces Steve to [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments ride in the backseat of the Camaro]] while the dog rides up front with him. |
| 99 | ** It turns out that Danny ''also'' lost his dog to Rachel in the divorce. When Steve asks what happened to it, Danny says he was old and died in the airport quarantine process. Which he claims is just yet another reason why he hates "that miserable island". |
| 100 | * HollywoodAtheist: Discussed in "Ka Iwi Kapu", to the disbelief of Steve. Doesn't really believe in any higher being or spirits, let alone ancient Hawaiian beliefs. [[spoiler: Or at least until the end of the episode]]. |
| 101 | * {{Hypocrite}}: In one episode, he delivers a sanctimonious tirade about why citizens should never be allowed to own or use guns, even for self-defense, no matter how many defenseless victims he finds hours postmortem. Proceeds to shoot lots of people on two occasions when violence against his own family provoke a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. Yeah. |
| 102 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A downplayed example, in that Danny is actually not really much of a jerk, and certainly would prefer to be a ByTheBookCop compared to his [[CowboyCop partner]]. He's also usually the first to jump to helping someone if they need it, and tries not to treat suspects like total shit [[AssholeVictim unless they really earned it.]] But he's not quite a NiceGuy because he's always nitpicking and complaining about Steve, Hawaii, their cases, [[ItMakesSenseInContext not getting to drive his car]], you name it, and when someone crosses a line with him, he gets irritable enough to have a perpetual stick up his ass that even Steve doesn't want to deal with sometimes. If you pissed him off enough, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he'll beat you with it]], too. |
| 103 | * {{Joisey}}: Danny's illustrious home state. Aside from his obvious accent and mannerisms, Danny frequently reminisces about how great and sane New Jersey is compared to Hawaii and loves threatening to return home when Steve or the other islanders get too crazy. He's just bluffing, of course. |
| 104 | * TheLancer[=/=]TheSmartGuy: To both Steve and the rest of the team. He's a very good detective with over a decade of field experience, which makes Danny much more knowledgeable about proper procedure and national/international laws than his more gung-ho, ex-Navy SEAL partner. Growing up in the mainland U.S. also gives him an outsider's perspective of the islands and how to approach situations that the native Hawaiians aren't familiar with. |
| 105 | * MistakenForGay: With Steve, more and more as time progresses. |
| 106 | * MrFanservice: Not nearly as much as Steve, but Danny has his moments. |
| 107 | * TheNapoleon: Averted. Danny doesn't attempt to overcompensate for his size and usually doesn't let short jokes get to him. Though he does state at one point that his greatest nightmare is waking up a foot shorter. If this is serious or just a joke is hard to tell considering he is, well, Danny. |
| 108 | * TheNicknamer: He likes to ascribe nicknames to friends and enemies alike. Grace is Monkey, Steve is ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} and ComicBook/{{Superman}}, Babe, Neanderthal, Super-SEAL, animal etc. and criminals are whatever pop culture insult or character jumps into his mind, just to name a few. Sometimes even victims get this treatment. |
| 109 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: When a man has been found with the proverbial smoking gun of having murdered one girl and kidnapped another solely to reap childcare benefits for a measly $500, Danny's TranquilFury finally snaps once the smug bastard outright admits he won't give up his only leverage of the second girl's location. Steve initially tries to hold Danny back -- and then when the man says they can't hurt him because they're cops, Steve temporarily [[ExactWords takes Danny's badge]] and [[IllPretendIDidntHearThat walks away]] from one of Danny's only cases of willing suspect abuse in the entire series. |
| 110 | * NumberTwo: To Steve and the Five-0 team as a whole. He's usually right beside or just a few steps behind Steve during any jobs they're working together and whenever Steve's out of commission, Danny is the one to take over as temporary boss. |
| 111 | * OddCouple: With Steve. They're polar opposite personalities, bicker like an old married couple, and are best friends who always have each other's backs. |
| 112 | * OutOfCharacter: The "What If?" dreams that [=McGarrett=] has in [[MilestoneCelebration "Ina]] [[VerySpecialEpisode Paha"]] from Wo Fat's drugs invert a lot of Danno's characteristics in an AU. Ex. He loves Hawaii, and is [[HappilyMarried still married to Rachel.]] |
| 113 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the GrandFinale, after [[spoiler:getting kidnapped, tortured and shot before recovering in the hospital]], Danny just sits at the beach as Steve comes to see him for the last time, and for once in the entire series finally espouses that Hawaii is actually pretty beautiful to look at. [[LampshadeHanging Steve immediately points out how utterly bizarre this is to him.]] |
| 114 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: He's a very competent cop in his own right, but then his partner is a former Navy [=SEAL=]. |
| 115 | * PapaWolf: Moving to the other side of the continent is the ''least'' he'll do for Gracie. |
| 116 | ** Half of the episode "E Malama" is basically Danny being this. ''Never'' endanger the life of his daughter. |
| 117 | -->'''Danny''': If you ever bring a gun into the same ''zip code'' as my daughter again, I will kill you. |
| 118 | ** It's subtly played, but Danny is consistently more on edge and prone to violence in cases where children are in danger. |
| 119 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Danno is only 5'5. |
| 120 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: So long as you don't commit very specific crimes that will send him off the deep end (hurting his friends/family and kidnapping or murdering children), Danny tends to be much more by-the-book than his BloodKnight partner, insisting on proper procedure, Miranda rights, and not dangling suspects off a three-story building. |
| 121 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Despite being a stickler for proper procedure, Danny's willing to loosen his [[ByTheBookCop ever-immaculate tie]] when the situation calls for it, especially if children or innocent civilians are involved. |
| 122 | * TookALevelInBadass: Danny's competency as a cop is often overshadowed by Steve's extreme amounts of badassery, Chin's disgrace arc, and Kono's Fanservice and Badass. But in "He Kane Hewa'Ole", he is the first one who correctly deduces the culprit's plot. Lampshaded by Steve, who asks, "When did you get smart?" |
| 123 | * TranquilFury: After an initial lashing out when [[spoiler:Reyes presents his brother's corpse in a barrel to him and then threatens his daughter's life to boot]], Danny and Steve calmly leave when forced to at gunpoint. Not even a minute later, they kill every single guard and Danny comes back down to [[BoomHeadshot put a bullet in the man's head]] without even so much as a shout. |
| 124 | * {{Tsundere}}: [[FanPreferredCouple For those that ship him]] [[HoYay with Steve]], he can be seen of the Type A variety: very snarky and quick to deny his feelings, but is caring deep down inside. |
| 125 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Shooting [[spoiler:Marco Reyes]] in the face was [[LaserGuidedKarma entirely justified]] in the heat of the moment, but ends up getting corrupt FBI agents harassing the Five-0 team and trying to take them down because he was a cartel asset with a ''lot'' of money now flying in the winds after the incident. |
| 126 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Steve. |
| 127 | * WhatTheHellHero: Usually, and generally instantly, the first person to call out Steve when he decides it's time for a radical or extreme plan, or when Steve has outright crossed legal boundaries to get the job done. |

| 132 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/ChiMcBride |
| 133 | |
| 134 | Former [=SWAT=] officer of the Chicago Police Department, he gets transferred to the Honolulu Police Department to command its [=SWAT=] team. After being forced to leave at the end of the fourth season, he gets recruited to join Five-0. |
| 135 | ---- |
| 136 | * AscendedExtra: Started out as a recurring HPD [=SWAT=] officer that usually butt heads with [=McGarrett=] on his over-the-top, CowboyCop methods of doing justice. The two even come up to the point of being ready to kick eachother's asses, and file complaints. But the two befriend eachother to the point of Lou getting a PromotionToOpeningTitles, and when push came to shove and Lou ends up out of a job, [=McGarrett=] opts to bring him into the Five-0 team, and the two rapidly become FireForgedFriends. |
| 137 | * ByTheBookCop: In the beginning, Grover is a no-nonsense member of HPD who believes Five-0 goes too far to get their job done and needs to follow the law. Just like with Danny, Steve gradually starts to knock little chunks out of his always-proper-procedure attitude, but Grover's still the most strict member of the Five-0 team, even after he relaxes a bit. |
| 138 | * DeadpanSnarker: He fits right in with the team in this respect. |
| 139 | -->'''Grover''': I think you told a really great camp fire story and the only thing missing is the marshmallows. |
| 140 | * DrivenToSuicide: His life falling apart after blaming himself for a MurderSuicide hostage situation going wrong had him even lashing out at his wife Renee, resulting in losing all sense of reason and nearly shooting himself. But his son William happened to break a bowl coming home early from school, which saved his life distracting him from pulling the trigger. Lou recounts this to another person contemplating suicide as the final means of talking them out of it. |
| 141 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: At the latter part of Season 7, most of his mates in the Chicago Police Department accuse him of turning in of their own despite the fact that he got evidence that a fellow officer was dirty. |
| 142 | * HeyYouHaymaker: Grover does this to punch a fleeing suspect. |
| 143 | -->'''Grover''': Didn't your mother tell you to look both ways? |
| 144 | * MyGreatestFailure: His old Chicago PD job had him try to talk down a suicidal gunman from killing himself and his son because of his wife trying to take their kid. Despite Lou doing everything he could while [=SWAT=] were repeatedly telling him non-stop to let them kill the man, the perp had a mental breakdown mid-negotiations and committed MurderSuicide, which traumatized Lou so badly that it ruined his job, his home life, and even nearly [[DrivenToSuicide claimed his mind too]]. |
| 145 | * PapaWolf: He's very protective of his daughter, Samantha, and doesn't hesitate to hunt Ian Wright down when he [[spoiler: kidnaps her]]. |
| 146 | * PersonaNonGrata: He discovers his long-time friend and partner, Clay, killed his wife on vacation. While he can't prove that, Grover does bust Clay for stealing money from a drug bust years before with Clay trying to get Grover killed by a mobster as payback. When he heads to Chicago to testify against Clay, Grover is thrown that all his fellow cops are more mad at ''Grover'' for turning on his partner, despite what Clay did. |
| 147 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: "Also Starring" halfway through season 4, official promotion starting season 5. |
| 148 | * [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Horror Movies]]: It's revealed in "Ho'oma'ike" that Grover ''really'' doesn't like horror movies or anything associated with them. |

| 186 | * CassandraTruth: He tells Five-0 that in one of his surveillance jobs, he found that out that criminals had bought up used books in Honolulu for an unknown purpose. Danno and Steve don't seem to believe him [[spoiler:until the pre-credits stinger for "Aʻohe Kahi e Peʻe Ai" shows that he was right all along.]] |
| 187 | * ConspiracyTheorist: What he's known for. |
| 188 | * CrazyHomelessPeople: [[spoiler: He's shown to be this in the 100th episode, "Ina Paha", where he's [[TearJerker living on the street and suffers from a debilitating mental disorder.]]]] |
| 189 | * DeadpanSnarker: Jerry can keep up with the Five-0 team pretty well in this department, especially after he becomes more comfortable around them. |
| 190 | -->'''Jerry''': Whoa, Sarah Connor! ''[to Kono when she pulls a gun on him and his drone]'' I come in peace. |
| 191 | * MacGyvering: He's been shown to have a knack for it on several occasions. The best example so far is in Season 5 when Jerry takes over a drone using stuff he bought at the local hardware store. He then proceeded to [[spoiler: fly it into the engine of the bad guys' plane to keep them from taking off]]. |
| 192 | * ProperlyParanoid: Part of being a conspiracy theorist that he has security measures to protect himself from trouble. |
| 193 | * PutOnABus: Leaves in the season 10 premiere as [[spoiler: after being shot]], he wants to live more and become an author. |
| 194 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Jerry whips this out whenever he has information for the Five-0 team that's not exactly legal. When he brings some intel on drones to Steve in "Ho'oma'ike", he emphasizes that he's only there for a tour of the palace and that he possesses no connection whatsoever to the information he's about to give them. |

| 201 | |
| 202 | Formerly the heir of the Noshimuri-gumi group in Honolulu, he broke his ties with the family after the group's influence weakened in the death of his father. He broke off his relationship with Kono and is now working alongside his once sworn enemies. |
| 203 | ---- |
| 204 | * AntiVillain: He may have been a Yakuza head, but one thing led to another and had him quitting to try to make amends for all the bad shit that went down between Wo Fat and his father, Hiro. It's enough so that he ends up an AntiHero for the Five-0 side, albeit one with his own problems and agenda. |
| 205 | * [[CainAndAbel Cain and Abel]]: The Abel to Michael’s Cain. |
| 206 | * DatingCatwoman: Ends up in a relationship with Kono that ascends to a full marriage. Let's just say this leads to no small amount of hell for the both of them. |
| 207 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: For someone so high in the yakuza, he has a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter and consistently fails to realize most of his constituents are [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder out for themselves]] and won't take well to dating Kono. This gets close friends, associates, and even his brother killed. |
| 208 | * HeelFaceTurn: Eventually ends up as a Five-0 member, albeit one who repeatedly has his Yakuza roots creeping back up on him to make things hard for everyone. He borders on HeelFaceRevolvingDoor as he occasionally has to do (or get framed for) crimes to survive or get what needs to be done, but he firmly stays in AntiHero territory. |
| 209 | * ItsPersonal: Much like Steve, his father's death lies at Wo Fat's decisions, and he has a personal stake in the conflict with the man. |
| 210 | * OppositesAttract: He was in love for a long while with Kono, making them a criminal and a police officer in a rocky liaison. |
| 211 | * ReformedCriminal: No longer involved in the Yakuza world, but has some influence within it. This is why [=McGarrett=] sought him out for recruitment. |
| 212 | * TraumaCongaLine: The amount of shit Adam goes through is immense, partly from his Yakuza life, partly from work trying on him. When [[spoiler:Kono is PutOnABus and leaves late series, cutting their relationship apart after so many years as a result]], Adam becomes an [[DrowningMySorrows alcoholic wreck]] with a messy apartment and a major hygiene problem, and needs extensive convincing and a lot of work to get himself back into shape again to officially join the Five-0 Task Force. |

| 354 | ---- |
| 355 | * AntagonisticGovernor: He is closer to LawfulNeutral in that his need to play politics and present a certain image to the public occasionally leads him to hinder [=McGarrett's=] task force, but as long as 5-0 keep getting the job done, he'll smooth over their more egregious abuses of their so-called "full immunity and means." |

| 462 | A former Chinese MSS officer turned drug kingpin and crime boss who terrorizes the Hawaiian islands and serves as a longtime enemy to the Five-0 team. His involvement with numerous criminal enterprises and the murders of John and Doris [=McGarrett=] has made him Steve's ArchEnemy. |

But... kidnapping Lou Grover's daughter for a $100 million ransom and [[ILied planning to]] [[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo kill her anyway]] even when he ''does'' get it?

| 534 | |
| 535 | The brother of Chin Ho's late wife Malia, and the killer of his father and major crime kingpin. His actions lead to him replacing Wo Fat as the series' BigBad when Fat is killed in the 100th episode. |
| 536 | |
| 537 | * AlasPoorVillain: As of [=6x24=], he died from cardiac arrest. |
| 538 | * BigBad: Becomes this in Season 6 following Wo Fat's death when he coerces Adam Noshimuri to steal Yakuza money, which puts Adam and Kono on the organization's hit list unless they get the money back. Waincroft returns the cash at the last minute following Adam killing two Yakuza men in self defense and to get off the organization's radar. |
| 539 | * DisappearedDad: To his daughter, Sara. |
| 540 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Downplayed, he had a daughter [[spoiler: who is Chin's niece through his late wife, Malia]]. |
| 541 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Went from Malia's no-good, bottom-of-the-barrel carjacking crook of a brother that Chin didn't arrest years ago out of sympathy, to a crime syndicate drug lord sociopath in Mexico and out to expand into Hawaii. Once Chin's connections to him through Malia are discovered, the authorities utterly give Chin ''hell'' for this and think he's on the take from Gabriel. |
| 542 | * ItsPersonal: With Chin Ho and Kono, later Adam. Part of this is because he murdered Chin's father and because Chin couldn't save his sister after Frank Delano leaves her to die. |
| 543 | * MadeOfIron: Gets thrown [[DestinationDefenestration through a window]] by Chin down three stories onto a car below in a fall that would've been fatal to just about anyone else. Gabriel somehow manages to get up and escape off-screen when everyone lets their guard down. This makes his fairly normal death by cardiac arrest, inflicted via gunshot wound and immense blood loss, that much more shocking. |
| 544 | * ManipulativeBastard: Kills people tied to Five-0 to "save" them so he can mess with them later. |
| 545 | * NotQuiteSavedEnough: Due to massive blood loss in "Pa'a Ka 'ipuka I Ka 'Upena Nananana", he goes into cardiac arrest during surgery. |

| 632 | * ItGetsEasier: Glossed over. Kono is introduced as a green cadet, fresh out of the academy, but almost instantly is killing bad guys with the veterans (including one with a decidedly non-regulation neck snap in episode ''five''). Compare with ''Series/RookieBlue'' in which a big deal is made of a young officer's first kill. (Of course there is also the slightly disturbing possibility that she's already had experience in this sort of thing...) |
| 633 | * ItsAllMyFault: Gets pissed at herself in "He Kane Hewa'ole" because she unknowingly let a suspect in a criminal investigation go and ending up getting shot by Steve. Chin helps her get over it by telling her making mistakes is natural and that it is part of being on the force. |
| 634 | * ItsPersonal: Getting involved in cases involving human trafficking. |

| 719 | * MissingMom: Max's real mother, [[spoiler: Michiyo Takeshita]], left him at St. Martin's orphanage. He was adopted by the Bergmans. |
| 720 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: Starting season 2. |
| 721 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: He's the same height as Danny, or maybe a touch shorter. |
| 722 | %%* TheSmartGuy |
| 723 | %%* TheShortGuyWithGlasses |
| 724 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Possibly the reason his height confers intelligence while Danny's just confers [[DeadpanSnarker snarkiness]]. |
| 725 | * SpockSpeak: He speaks with a markedly clipped tone. While his level of formality does seem to have diminished slightly over the series as he warmed up to Steve and Danny, he's still very precise in his language. This is probably partly due to being a medical examiner, where precision is imperative, and partly due to having an unspecified mental disorder. |
| 726 | * TheStoic: He's generally unfazed and emotionless, at least when not dealing with a pretty lady. |
| 727 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pancakes. |
| 728 | * TookALevelInBadass: At one point, he gets kidnapped by a serial killer, tied to a chair. He manages to break out of his clutches and kill his captor. |
