Line #31 Characters/SenpaiClub


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	!Main Cast
4	[[folder:Tsumiki Domen]]
5	* AdaptationDyeJob: In-universe. The "original" 80s version of ''Senpai Club'' has her hairstyle as a reddish pink color. It's light pink in the 2010s "adaptation".
6	* BigEater: Anyone who considers eating gyudon as a hobby has to count as one.
7	** Also implied with her meal when she and Hero-senpai are out on their date. While his consists of a single pancake with a pat of butter and some syrup on it, her own plate has a stack of several pancakes, covered with syrup and topped with strawberries and a hearty swirl of whipped cream.
8	* ButtMonkey: Her first day of school consists of her being yelled at by the teacher, kicked out of the Senpai Club for not being a senpai and being thrown out of school for essentially helping Kurokawa to grab their teacher's boobs.
9	* TheEveryman: She's probably intended to be this, if not an outright parody. Despite her unique hair color, she's completely average in every other way, down to having Type A blood (the most common blood type in Japan), and has no real hobbies (she considers ''sleeping'' to be a hobby). Yet she has the attention of what is supposed to be an extremely cool and handsome senpai. Just like what any reader of her intended demographic would want.
10	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Despite being well aware that Kurokawa's love for Teacher-sensei is anything but pure she still tries to help.
11	* LateForSchool: Complete with the iconic toast!
12	* OddFriendship: With Kurokawa. Tsumiki thinks she's a massive pervert (and she's not wrong), but she considers Kurokawa a good friend and actually does try to help Kurokawa in her ill-fated attempts to win Teacher-sensei's heart.
13	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Pink Girl to Hero-Senpai's Blue Boy, right down to their hair color.
14	* PrecisionFStrike: When she realizes that she's late for school, she mentally spouts off one of these.
15	* RedOniBlueOni: With Kurokawa. Despite what you'd expect, she's actually the Blue to Kurokawa's Red. While she's more enthusiastic and upbeat than Kurokawa, Tsumiki is a lot more shy and restrained in her passion for her love interest when compared to Kurokawa.
16	* RoseHairedSweetie: She's rather sweet and energetic, and she hopes that a cool and handsome senpai will notice her on her first day of school.
17	* SignificantBirthDate: She was born on February 14, Valentine's Day. Makes sense, given the premise of the series.
18	* StockShoujoHeroine: Parodied. Tsumiki has the pink (red in the "original" version) hair and GirlishPigtails, and she bumps into her senpai at the start of the series, however she's not the naive, innocent schoolgirl associated with the trope.
19	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Beef bowl (''gyudon''). She even lists it as one of her hobbies in Episode 3.

21
22	[[folder:Fumiko Kurokawa]]
23	* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Teacher-sensei. Kurokawa's rather forward advances are usually met with Teacher-sensei telling her to sit down or go outside.
24	* BigDamnKiss: Gives one to Teacher-sensei during the Christmas Special. It isn't a particularly spectacular kiss; just a small one before turning away in embarrassment.
25	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Not like she makes any effort, anyway.
26	* {{Foil}}: To Tsumiki. While Tsumiki is more shy towards her love interest and prefers to talk about her problems with other students, Kurokawa just out and out flirts with the object of her affections regardless of the reaction.
27	* FreudianExcuse: The imagery from her backstory seems to imply that she had a lot of unsavory male teachers when she was in middle school, which would explain her attraction to a female teacher like Teacher-sensei.
28	* HotForTeacher: She doesn't even bother to hide it from anyone, much less the object of her affections.
29	* LipstickLesbian: As if her crush for Teacher-sensei wasn't obvious enough.
30	* LovableSexManiac: The biggest and thirstiest pervert in the series. Teacher-sensei is clearly disgusted by her and even Tsumiki is visibly creeped out at how bold she is.
31	* OddFriendship: With Tsumiki.
32	* ProneToTears: Cries a lot.
33	* RedOniBlueOni: With Tsumiki. She's actually the Red Oni due to her rather passionate, headstrong and wild advances on Teacher-sensei, compared to Tsumiki's slow-budding romance with Hero-Senpai.
34	* TaremeEyes
35	* ThanksForTheMammaries: To Teacher-sensei at the end of Episode 1. It goes as well as you expect.

37
38	[[folder:Nelly Smith]]
39	* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: With everything.
40	* AnimeAccentAbsence: '''Defied'''. Not only does she have a noticeable accent, but it's ''painfully'' clear that she hasn't lived in Japan for very long. She even states herself that she only returned to Japan the year before after living most of her life in America.
41	* ButNotTooForeign: She states that she's half American on her father's side, and recently moved back to Japan from America about a year before the story starts.
42	* {{Eagleland}}: Probably type 3. She's obnoxious and somewhat pushy, but she means well.
43	* FunnyForeigner: Her terrible accent is the source of some of the funniest lines in the series, making her rather endearing.
44	* GenkiGirl: The most energetic and friendliest of the cast. She's so friendly that she actually goes out of her way to get her group to sit with Tsumiki and Kurokawa.
45	* GratuitousEnglish: Considering her origins, this is a given.
46	-->''Ooh! A letter desu!''
47	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Considers Kurokawa's love display for Teacher-sensei in Episode 2 to be "beautiful", despite it being nothing but flirting.
48	* LarynxDissonance: For such a cute girl, her voice is surprisingly manly.
49	* NoIndoorVoice: All of her dialogue is yelled.
50	* PhenotypeStereotype: Completely and utterly averted. She looks like her other classmates, save for (???), who ''should'' fit the description. Her father is blond though.
51	* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Wore socks with the American flag on them in the 80s series.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Saitou-kun]]
55	* CannotSpitItOut: From the blushing he does and the reason for his decision to stand up to Teacher-sensei, it's clear that he has feelings for Nelly Smith.
56	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Tries to be one to Nelly.
57	* SatelliteCharacter: All of his appearances in the show so far revolve around interacting with Nelly.
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:???]]
61	* {{Bookworm}}: Always seen with a book.
62	* NoNameGiven: PlayedWith. From the way Nelly introduces her, it's implied that she does have a name and that Nelly's tenuous grasp of Japanese prevents her from saying it properly. Considering that this is a parody however, it's highly possible that ??? is indeed her real name.
63	* PerpetualFrowner: Complete with a bored look on her face.
64	* SatelliteCharacter: All of her appearances in the show so far revolve around interacting with Nelly.
65	* TheSilentBob: Hasn't said a single word since being introduced.
66	[[/folder]]
67
68	!Senpai Club
69	[[folder:Hero-Senpai]]
70	* {{Deuteragonist}}: While Tsumiki is the main character, he's equally as important to the story. You could even argue that he's really the protagonist as much of the plot focuses on him struggling to deal with his desire to return Tsumiki's feelings despite being in a club based around actively avoiding romance and rejecting the feelings of the girls that fall in love with them.
71	* FriendVersusLover: He clearly likes Tsumiki, but he is also very loyal to his friends in the Senpai Club, especially to Senpai-kun. [[spoiler: He chooses Tsumiki by the end of Episode 3.]]
72	* GratuitousEnglish: When he introduces himself, he refers to himself as the "Cool, Hot" senpai.
73	* HiddenDepths: Beneath the popular, confident and charming aura is really a nervous high schooler who's never really experienced first love.
74	* LoveInterest: For Tsumiki.
75	* LoveAtFirstSight: He's clearly smitten by Tsumiki from the moment she bumps into him in Episode 1. It's fleshed out later in the episode when he happens to be the only one to watch Tsumiki set up an opportunity for Kurowkawa to confess to Teacher-sensei.
76	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Blue Boy to Tsumiki's Pink Girl, right down to their hair color.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Bowl Cut-Senpai]]
80	* CloudCuckooLander: Easily the weirdest out of the senpais. "Beef Bowl Cut", anyone?
81	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Easily the nicest and the most approachable of the Senpais.
82	* {{Keet}}: He's the most childish and excitable out of all of the senpais.
83	* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: Unlike the other senpais in the club, he doesn't reject girls out of obligation (Hero-Senpai), hatred (Senpai-kun) or both (Gang Leader-Senpai). He seems to have a genuine fear of girls.
84	* ProneToTears: A male example. He's rather emotional, and when it looks like Hero-Senpai was blowing off the club he becomes seriously distraught.
85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Gang Leader-Senpai]]
88	* JapaneseDelinquents
89	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rude and violent, but fiercely protective of his friends and is loyal to the Senpai Club.
90	* WouldHitAGirl: When he was younger at least, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he was willing to beat up the girl who had broken Senpai-kun's heart.]] Then again, in present day he wasn't very friendly to Tsumiki, stepping on her head in his introduction.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Rock n Roll-Senpai]]
94	* AdvertisedExtra: Barely appears in show at all, despite being prominent in the opening.
95	* BackForTheDead: The first time he gets ''any'' characterization and backstory at all is the "5 years later" short, and by then [[spoiler:he's been dead for a while]].
96	* ButNotTooForeign: "5 Years Later" reveals that he's at least part Spanish.
97	* GivenNameReveal: [[spoiler:At his death anniversary party]], his first name is revealed to be "Frederico".
98	* LongHairedPrettyBoy
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Lady-Senpai]]
102	* TheOjou
103	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female member of the Senpai Club.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Senpai-kun]]
107	* HeManWomanHater: Senpai-kun turns out to be this, only really starting the Senpai Club because he wanted to snub any ''kouhai'' or girl that wanted to confess to him.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	!Others
111	[[folder:Teacher-Sensei]]
112	* {{Blackmail}}: More or less the reason that she goes on a date with Kurokawa in the Christmas Special.
113	* CelibateHero: Doesn't seem too interested in romance with people in general, let alone students.
114	* OnlySaneMan: A no-nonsense character in a world full of fools.
115	* RepetitiveName: Sensei means "Teacher", not to mention that in the show, she's referred to as "Sensei-sensei".
116	* SternTeacher: Definitely one of these. In her defense, Tsumiki’s repeated tardiness and Kurokawa’s advances are undoubtedly things that a teacher should punish a student for.
