6-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YumiriHanamori (Japanese), Creator/MorganGarrett (English), Jocelyn Robles (Latin American Spanish)
7A girl who recently moved to Yamanashi and became interested in camping due to a chance meeting with Rin.
8----
9* AfraidOfBlood: She's afraid of blood. It's to a point that, when she treats Rin for an eel lunch in Hamamatsu, she covers her eyes as the chef cleans the fresh eel. Rin wonders why she chose a table where she could see into the kitchen.
10* AirplaneArms: Runs like this when excited, and – since she's easily excitable – it is a frequent occurrence.
11* AnimalMotif: She's compared to a dog due to being dynamic and easily distracted.
12* BigEater: She loves to eat and can put away large amounts of food; she was actually FormerlyFat because of it, before she lost weight by biking laps around Lake Hamana. She shows her appetite twice in the third episode: first by eating dozens of gyoza, then asking Sakura to buy her fried rice, pudding, fried potatoes, chips, cake, ice cream, ''and'' ramen for breakfast (although Sakura is disinclined to acquiesce to these requests, superseding this list simply with "rice balls and tea, got it").
13* BirthdayBuddies: She and Aoi share the same birthday, March 4. They're rather happy to realize this in the days leading up to the Izu trip.
14* CheeryPink: Pink hair to coincide with her very exuberant personality.
15* CuteClumsyGirl: She can often be clumsy, such as forgetting to have her cellphone (as well as forgetting her own number), falling asleep on a public bench then rolling off onto the pavement, and tripping on every object that enters her pathway.
16* TheDitz: She doesn't appear to be very bright (or at best, extremely absentminded); nearly the first thing we learn about her is that she does ''not'' carry a cell phone (nor any meaningful amounts of cash) with her when she cycles into the countryside of an unfamiliar place she moved into a day ago.
17* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Rin first runs into her napping outside a public restroom facility at a campsite. After she learns about Nadeshiko's situation, she offers her some food, which Nadeshiko eats with joy.
18* FloralThemeNaming: She's named after the ''nadeshiko'', which is the Japanese name for the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianthus_superbus dianthus superbus]] flower.
19* FormerlyFat: As a side effect of being a BigEater, and the justification for her biking hobby and being StrongerThanTheyLook. When she was living in Shizuoka, Sakura had her bike laps around [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Hamana Lake Hamana]] to lose weight.
20* GenkiGirl: She's always the most energetic girl of the [=OutClub=].
21* GirlishPigtails: She typically wears her hair in low pigtails, fitting with her girly and outgoing nature.
22* GirlsWithMoustaches: There's a brief shot of her wearing a fake mustache in the opening of the anime's first season. It's purely for humor and fits with her goofy personality.
23* HiddenDepths: Although she first appears to be [[TheDitz the Ditz]], Nadeshiko is in season 2 able to care for herself and to perform a solo camping without any help from someone other.
24* HeavySleeper: She can sleep through anything.
25* InUniverseNickname: "Fujikko", due to the large number of Mount Fuji souvenirs she bought after the events in the third episode.
26* IronicName: Despite her given name literally being one half of YamatoNadeshiko, she's too ditzy to fit the trope itself, as commented by many characters in-universe.
27* LocationThemeNaming: Kagamihara is usually associated with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakamigahara,_Gifu a medium-sized city in central Japan]][[note]]The city's name is pronounced inconsistently even by the locals as Ka[k/g]ami[ga/]hara[[/note]].
28* NewTransferStudent: She moves into Yamanashi in November, in the middle of the Japanese school year.
29* NiceGirl: Nadeshiko is a bundle of joy wrapped in enthusiasm.
30* RedOniBlueOni: The more emotional red oni to Rin's stoic blue.
31* RoseHairedSweetie: Nadeshiko is a kind, energetic girl with pink hair.
32* RunningGag:
33** Her tendency to enjoy eating just about anything usually gets a comment from Rin about how she makes whatever she's eating look a lot tastier than it might be, including something as pedestrian as a cup of instant noodles. This is one of the reasons Rin is so fond of her.
34** She also has a tendency to slip into a GrannyClassic impersonation when cooking or boasting about her food.
35* StrongerThanTheyLook: In the fourth episode, Chiaki and Aoi are surprised by her running around with the camping supplies when the two are starting to get exhausted. The two even discuss having her carry their gear for them. Later in the second season, it's explained that she is FormerlyFat, and that her sister Sakura forced her to lose weight, making Nadeshiko fit and athletic as a result, this also being the reason she bikes wherever she goes.
36* TeamChef: Every time she has gone camping, she has been the one cooking for others, rendering her the de facto culinarian.

39[[folder:Rin Shima]]
40[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rin_s2.png]]
41-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NaoTouyama (Japanese), Celeste Perez (English), Ximena Fragoso (Latin American Spanish)
42A girl who often camps alone in campsites around where she lives. She got her camping skills (and camping gear) from her grandfather, and also works at a bookstore.
43----
44* AffectionateNickname:
45** Played with, as it wasn't really a nickname but was treated as such: Chiaki has a habit of calling her "Shimarin", as initially, she wasn't aware that it's actually her whole name.
46** In the anime. Nadeshiko has a characteristically enthusiastic and affectionate way of pronouncing "Rin-chan", courtesy of her {{seiyuu}}.
47* AgentMulder: She's constantly seen reading books about cryptids and [=UFO=]s. Funnily enough though, the one time she ''did'' have a close encounter she was too busy reading a book about aliens to notice it.
48* {{Bookworm}}: Reading is her second hobby after camping, and she'll often sit and enjoy a book once she has all of her camping gear set up. She seems to like reading [[AgentMulder books about cryptids, UFOs, and other kinds of occult phenomena]]. She also helps out at her school's library, and even works part-time at a bookstore to fund her camping trips.
49* CoolBike: {{Downplayed|trope}}. The intention remains the same, but since she's too young to ride a motorcycle, she rides a Yamaha Vino scooter.
50** Played straight in TheMovie when she's inherited her grandfather's Thruxton.
51* CutenessProximity: She gets very inwardly excited seeing dogs.
52** In episode two, she sees two of them coming towards her after spotting them nearby. The first dog's leash is too short to reach her, so it's stopped a short distance away from her. Rin smirks at the poor pup's misfortune, but the second one's leash is much longer, and it ends up ramming into her.
53** When Rin sees another dog in a van in front of her, she plays with it by weaving her motor scooter left and right at intersections to see the dog change places in the back seats to see her. It's likely she also has this reaction after the van pulls out to reveal a car with around ''five or six dogs'' in the back.
54* DefrostingIceQueen: She camps by herself at the start of the show, and early on is disgusted by the idea of camping with others. But as she starts to get to know the others more, she gradually warms up to them and is more willing to go camping with them (even though she never officially joins the Outdoor Activities Club).
55* {{Determinator}}: Proportionally to the ambiance of the series. Rin loves camping so much that she's willing to ''ride a scooter in fall/winter temperatures'' to reach her desired locations. This is the object of much praise from the Outdoors Club girls.
56* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The series begins with Rin setting out to a campground by herself. Considering that the people working there recognize her, and she's shown to be very competent, it's clear that Rin has a lot of experience with camping. After noticing Nadeshiko napping on the bench, Rin occasionally checks up on her (albeit not going out of her way to do so), showing that while Rin is a bit of a loner, she does care about others.
57* GenerationXerox: We already knew Rin picked up her knack for camping and travelling from her grandpa, but Volume 8 of the manga shows that both her mother and father used to ride with Grandpa when they were younger; her mother avoids showing her any pictures, but the chapter end sketch suggests she was a bit more [[GenkiGirl bold and loud]] than her daughter.
58* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Nadeshiko, as most of the stuff that she does makes Rin happy. Nadeshiko's enthusiasm is such that [[BestFriend it endears Rin to her]], and makes Rin want more friends like her.
59* InSeriesNickname: Chiaki loves to call her "Shimarin".
60* LastNameBasis: She calls Saitou by her last name, despite the fact that Rin calls all her other friends by her first names, Saitou calls Rin by her first name and everyone else calls Saitou by her first name, Ena.
61* LocationThemeNaming: The name "Shima" is mostly associated with the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ise-Shima Shima peninsula]] or the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shima,_Mie town associated with it]].
62* LonersAreFreaks: A subversion; her introversion seems set up to be an obstacle in many occasions like when she's first reluctant to camp with Nadeshiko. But her preference for solo camping is generally accepted by her friends as what she loves to do, and Rin does make an effort to be social through other means like texting frequently and hanging out with Saito at work.
63* NaiveNewcomer: This definitely doesn't apply to her in the present day, since her introduction shows that she's a very experienced camper. However, the first episode of the anime's second season has a flashback to Rin's first solo camping trip, in which she makes rookie mistakes such as trying to start a fire with thick pieces of wood and burning the curry rice she'd planned on making. This goes to show that even though Rin is probably the best camper out of all the teenage characters, she was once a newbie like them.
64* NotSoStoic:
65** She may not speak or emote much, but her playing along with Ena's trolling in the second episode indicates she's actually quite lively inside.
66** She is inflexible in her solo camping, except when it comes to Nadeshiko.
67** She has a comically shocked face when an automated camera takes her photo on Mt. Omuro, one that matches the more expressive Nadeshiko.
68* OlderThanSheLooks: Because she's rather short, Rin happens to look like a middle schooler at best (to Toba-sensei's sister), and an elementary schooler at worst (to Nadeshiko). If anything, she's by far the most mature of the main cast.
69* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During the Club's second excursion with Toba-sensei, Rin travels alone on her scooter from early in the morning; by the time the girls are settling in at a bath, she's falling asleep in the water and continues to nod off at other intervals; given she's normally quite involved and serious about camping, the other girls become quite concerned.
70* OutdoorsyGal: She's a high school girl who likes camping solo.
71* TheQuietOne: She does speak, but compared to the rest of the cast she's very quiet. About half of her dialogue is delivered through inner monologues.
72* RedOniBlueOni: The more stoic blue oni to Nadeshiko's red.
73* ShyBlueHairedGirl: Downplayed; she has blue hair, but while she's usually [[TheQuietOne quiet]] and prefers to go on solo camping trips, she's not completely asocial and does have fun camping with Nadeshiko and the other members of the Outclub on some occasions.
74* SituationalSociability: A rather amusing example. Rin is stiff, laconic and maybe a bit grumpy in regular conversation, but her conversations by text message are a lot livelier and friendlier.
75* ThroughHerStomach: Played with. One of the reasons Rin becomes fond of Nadeshiko is due to the boundless joy Nadeshiko expresses every time she feeds her and how much she loves the food that she and Rin share. So, Nadeshiko won over Rin ''through her own stomach''.

78[[folder:Ena Saito]]
79[[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ena_s2.png]]
80-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTakahashi (Japanese), Creator/MollyZhang (English), Estefanía Piedra (Latin American Spanish), Mildred Barrera (Latin American Spanish, ep.6)
81Rin's tomboyish friend.
82----
83* AnimalLover: Dogs are quite near and dear to her, and by the time of the movie, she's running a pet salon.
84* BestFriend: She was Rin's closest friend before the latter met Nadeshiko.
85%%* BoyishShortHair
86* CanineCompanion: She's frequently with her dog when she isn't at school and will send cute pictures of him to Rin while she's out camping.
87* TheGadfly: Ena seems to like messing up Rin for fun sometimes, like making a bear-like bun hair out of Rin, or asking Rin to buy her lunch while knowing well Rin's camping.
88* LocationThemeNaming: As lampshaded in the tenth episode's {{Stinger}}, her name comes from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ena_Gorge a river valley in Gifu best known for its stone formations]], or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ena,_Gifu the town associated with it]].
89* NotAMorningPerson: Makes little-to-no effort to get out of bed in the morning.
90** Once, when she finally dragged herself out of bed to take Chikawa for a walk, a single gust of wintry air made both of them burrow right back under the covers again.
91** Whereas the other four girls made a big deal out of seeing the New Year's sunrise (twice, in the Outclub's case), Ena woke up well after the sun had cleared the horizon and wasn't bothered in the slightest.
92* SmallRoleBigImpact: While she's the least featured of the girls, Ena is the reason Rin starts gradually accepting Chiaki and Aoi, and at large, to camp with a group.

95[[folder:Chiaki Oogaki]]
96[[quoteright:271:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chiaki_s2.png]]
97-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SayuriHara (Japanese), Creator/KatelynBarr (English), Analiz Sánchez (Latin American Spanish)
98The founder of the Outdoor Activities Club.
99----
100* AffectionateNickname: Her friends tend to shorten her name to "Aki" or "Aki-chan".
101* BespectacledCutie: She’s a cute girl who wears glasses.
102* CharacterDevelopment: By the time of TheMovie, she's grown responsible enough to work at the offices of the local prefecture, and put together a presentation to develop the new campground.
103* DidntThinkThisThrough: She fails to do adequate preparation for the Lake Yamanaka camping trip, resulting in her getting more than a few unpleasant surprises, especially when she doesn't take into account that they would be camping at an elevation two or three thousand feet higher than sea level where it would be much much colder than any weather forecast at sea level. [[EdutainmentShow This is pointed out by the narrator too.]]
104* GenkiGirl: Chiaki the dorkiest and most playful of the four girls, which doesn't sit well with Rin initially.
105* GirlishPigtails: She often wears her hair in high pigtails, which fit her playful and immature personality. She stops wearing her hair this way after Ena cuts her hair to shoulder-length.
106* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Downplayed, but she often tries to act cooler and more experienced than she really is. Despite her position as leader, all of the others (even Nadeshiko) are savvier about camping than she is. This comes to bite her in the ass during the Lake Yamanaka trip, since she [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't bother to check how cold it would be at night before they arrived]].
107* LargeHam: She'll unexpectedly burst into loud theatrics when something gets her enthused. It definitely makes her a very magnetic club leader.
108* TheLeader: She's the president of the Outdoors Club, and she's usually the one who encourages the girls to camp.
109* LocationThemeNaming: As lampshaded in the tenth episode's {{Stinger}}, her name comes from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ōgaki a city in southern Gifu]].
110* NervousWreck: During her job interview, she's so nervous that when prompted to sit on a bottle crate box, she forgets to turn it and plunges ''into'' the box.
111* OhCrap: During the Lake Yamanaka trip, she panics when she checks the weather on her phone, which is almost out of power, and sees that it's -2 degrees Celsius(28.4 degrees Fahrenheit), at only 4:30 in the afternoon, meaning that [[FromBadToWorse it'll only get colder once the sun sets]].
112* RidiculousProcrastinator: Often puts off studying for tests; Aoi recounts that this is something she's done all the time with her. This is why her grades are the worst of the trio.
113* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Inverted; she wears a large pair of glasses and often tries to act savvy and experienced about camping, but she's really more of a KnowNothingKnowItAll and she actually has the worst grades out of all the main characters.
114* VerbalTic: Courtesy of her VA, Chiaki has a characteristically nasal and playful way of speaking which closely reflects her jokey, dorky personality. She also has very boyish speech patterns, typically using masculine speech particles like "ze" or "da zo".
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Aoi Inuyama]]
118[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aoi_s2.png]]
119-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkiToyosaki (Japanese), Hanna Alyea (English), Monserrat Aguilar (Latin American Spanish)
120The only other member of the Outdoor Activities Club.
121----
122* BigOlEyebrows: Her eyebrows are noticeably thick and [[OddlyVisibleEyebrows somehow visible through her hair and occasionally her hat]].
123* BirthdayBuddies: She and Nadeshiko share the same birthday, March 4. They're rather happy to realize this in the days leading up to the Izu trip.
124* CompulsiveLiar: Aoi likes to tell [[LittleKnownFacts completely made-up facts]] or just straight-up lie to Nadeshiko, [[TheGadfly purely to mess with her for the fun of it]]. It appears to run in her family as well.
125* CuteLittleFangs: She has one that's always visible, even when her mouth is closed; due to the art style it looks like a triangular flap of skin hanging off her upper lip. It serves to highlight her [[TheGadfly mischievous streak]]. It also runs in the family, as evidenced by her little sister Akari also having one.
126* InSeriesNickname: Chiaki calls her "Inuko" ("Dog Girl"), since her family name Inuyama means "dog mountain"; according to the manga she's been doing it since the two first met.
127* TheGadfly: During the ''Heya Camp'' segments, she really likes messing with people by telling them [[LittleKnownFacts completely made-up facts]] when the opportunity arises. Her sister Akari also engages in this, with both of them working together to really screw around with Nadeshiko's head.
128* LocationThemeNaming: As lampshaded in the tenth episode's {{Stinger}}, her name comes from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuyama the city]] just south of the aforementioned Kagamihara, on the other side of the prefectural boundary.
129* OddlyVisibleEyebrows: Her BigOlEyebrows are drawn to look as though they're somehow located ''over'' her hair rather than under it. They can even be seen over the hats she wears.
130* PinocchioNose: Her irises will shrink and lose gloss when she tells a lie. [[ChildhoodFriend Chiaki]] learns to spot it, and so does Nadeshiko.
131* StraightManAndWiseGuy: She plays the role of straight girl to the ditzy Aki, often snarking at her overexcitement and impulsiveness. The same applies to Nadeshiko when they're grouped together.

134[[folder:Minami Toba]]
135[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s2_toba_sensei_yurucamp_jp.png]]
136-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (Japanese), Creator/LeahClark (English), Itzel Mendoza (Latin American Spanish, ep.7), Noriko Takaya (Latin American Spanish, eps.10-12, 13), Mildred Barrera (Latin American Spanish, eps, 14, 16)
137
138A substitute history teacher in Motosu High School who becomes the advisor for the Outdoor Activity Club.
139----
140* BigOlEyebrows: Has a pair similar to Aoi, only slightly wider.
141* CharacterDevelopment: She starts taking her role as the Outclub's advisor more seriously over time, especially after Chiaki and the others' Lake Yamanaka trip almost ends in disaster due to lack of preparation. To avoid a repeat of that incident, she asks the Outdoor Activity Club to run their plans by her first from now on. She also starts cutting back on her alcohol consumption so she can be more alert and able to get the girls where they need without designated drivers.
142* CoolTeacher: While [[SenseiChan she does have an immature side]], she grows to be a very attentive and supportive club advisor the more time she spends with the girls. By the time of their trip to Izu, she's fully hands on with making it the best experience possible for everyone.
143* DrivesLikeCrazy: PlayedForLaughs; In order to see the "Diamond Fuji"[[note]]Sunrise at Mt. Fuji[[/note]], she drives faster in Episode 2 of Season 2, complete with drifting. Notably, she doesn't act this way at all in the manga or after this scene in the anime.
144* EyesAlwaysShut: She has her eyes closed most of the time, if not covered by her shiny glasses. The only time her eyes shown open is in her first appearance as the drunk lady who is with the "fire starter guy" that Nadeshiko and Rin met (who turned out to be [[LadyLooksLikeADude her younger sister]]) and the above-mentioned DrivesLikeCrazy moment.
145* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The hard-drinking Foolish sibling to Ryouko's Responsible sibling.
146* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: In her first appearance, she's completely wasted while camping with her younger sister, and even tries to get Rin and Nadeshiko to drink some of the sake she brought with her. Her favorite pastime is drinking copious amounts of beer while watching TV dramas, buying six-packs at the liquor store Chiaki works ''daily'' (earning her the nickname "Miss Chug" from the employees). Her sister always fears she'll get fired for drinking alcohol at work.
147* LastNameBasis: She politely addresses her students by their last names with the "-san" honorific.
148* LocationThemeNaming: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba,_Mie Toba]] is a city in Mie Prefecture.
149* NaughtyByNight: She's reasonably professional while on the job, but quite the heavy drinker when camping or at home.
150* OcularGushers: During the Izu trip, she indulges in a beer after taking a bath in a hot spring, then cries these after she has to pay 3,000 yen (roughly $30 US) for a replacement driver to reach the campsite.
151* SenseiChan: She puts up a professional image while at school, but the students of the Outdoor Club soon find out that she's more of a HardDrinkingPartyGirl when camping. Naturally, she comes off as a lot less mature when drunk.
152* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Booze in general, but she has an affinity for pan-fried bacon with a side of beer; it's the first thing she expresses interest in when helping the girls plan their Christmas camp, and the first thing she starts cooking when they arrive.

157-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KristenMcGuire (English)
158Saitou's dog who tags along on the club's outings.
159----
160* PreciousPuppy: An adorable dog that the club all unanimously dotes on.
161* TeamPet: Literally; Saitou brings him along to keep everyone company while camping.

163
164!!Relatives
165[[folder:Sakura Kagamihara]]
166-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese), Robin Clayton (English), Angélica Villa (Latin American Spanish)
167
168Nadeshiko's level-headed sister. She's a college student studying in Koufu, the prefectural capital.
169----
170* AngerBornOfWorry: She whacks Nadeshiko on the head and violently shoves her into the car over how upset she got after Nadeshiko left without her cell phone.
171* BirdsOfAFeather: A platonic example with Rin; she's basically an adult version of Rin in demeanor, hence why they get along so much in the few instances they meet.
172* CoolBigSis: She's often the sombre big sister who keeps Nadeshiko in line, especially about [[BigEater the amount of food she eats]]. Of course, while Nadeshiko loves her sister, she's also somewhat afraid of her, especially when Sakura made Nadeshiko go cycling in order to lose weight.
173* FloralThemeNaming: She's named after CherryBlossoms.
174* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible half of this duo.
175* HiddenDepths: While she is calm and composed, she absolutely loves driving around, so much that if Nadeshiko were to ask her to drive her around the world, she would probably do it in a beat.
176* StoicSpectacles: Her glasses bring more of a mature charm, and she doesn't show much emotion aside from when she gets angry at Nadeshiko.
177[[/folder]]
178
179[[folder:Akari Inuyama]]
180-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RisaeMatsuda (Japanese), Creator/LindsaySeidel (English), Alessia Becerril (Latin American Spanish)
181
182Aoi's mischievous younger sister, who occasionally tags along on the Outclub's camping trips.
183----
184* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Considering she's elementary school age, she's treated like this compared to the rest of the high school cast.
185* BlueWithShock: Her reaction when she learns that a tombolo isn't food, but a path between two bodies of land that is revealed at low tide. Since Akari had spent much of the trip looking forward to eating tombolo, she's not happy about it.
186* BlushStickers: She has permanent ones on her cheeks, indicating how she's the youngest named character in the cast.
187* CuteLittleFangs: Much like her older sister, she has a prominent fang that's drawn to look as though it's part of her upper lip.
188* FirstNameBasis: Strangely enough, she calls her older sister "Aoi-chan" rather than using UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology (e.g. Nadeshiko calls Sakura "Onee-chan.")
189* TheGadfly: She's just as fond of messing with people as her older sister. They'll sometimes mess with people together, or even mess with ''each other'' just for the fun of it.
190* InSeriesNickname: Chiaki calls her "Mini Inuko", since she looks so much like Aoi.
191* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks like a smaller version of Aoi, only with lighter-colored hair, BlushStickers, and her eyes being blue instead of green. This is only exacerbated when Akari wears the same clothes as Aoi during a visit to the club.
192[[/folder]]
193
194[[folder:Hajime Shinshiro[=/=]TheNarrator]]
195-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkioOtsuka (Japanese), Milton Wolch (Latin American Spanish)
196
197Rin's grandfather, who seems to be the reason why Rin is interested in camping in an early age. Ohtsuka also performs the anime's narration; and since the narration is always about camping skills, it's probably narrated by the Hajime.
198----
199* CoolBike: He owns a Triumph Thruxton as part of his CoolOldGuy setup.
200* CoolOldGuy: He doesn't go camping as much as he used to, but he still rides around on a motorcycle and he offers Chiaki some meat he's grilling when she runs into him. Chiaki inwardly calls him a "classy old grandpa" and thinks he looks like he could be in a coffee commercial (referring to Creator/TommyLeeJones and a series of {{Japandering}} coffee commercials he did during the 90s).

202
203[[folder:Ryouko Toba]]
204-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SachiKokuryu (Japanese), Creator/RowanGilvie (English), José Luis Piedra (Latin American Spanish)
205
206Minami's younger sibling. Contrary to appearances, she's Minami's sister, not her brother.
207----
208* {{Bifauxnen}}: As a short-haired and tall woman, she looks rather androgynous. The girls of the OEC Club mistook her for a man when they first met her.
209* CrossDressingVoices: In the Latin American Spanish dub, she's voiced by an actor. This was made to emphasize her traits and not her gender.
210* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible sibling to Minami's Foolish, since she keeps Minami in line.

216-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomoyoKurosawa (Japanese), Katie Welch (English)
217Nadeshiko's friend since childhood who still lives in their hometown. She's friendly yet very low-energy compared to her hyperactive counterpart.
