160%%* {{Jerkass}}
161* LooksLikeCesare / CreepyShadowedUndereyes: [[WordofGod Zinkia's]] character bio describes him as having a "thin, pale appearance" and "dark circles under his eyes, which make him look rather sinister."

179----
180* CoordinatedClothes: There are some variations between the characters' uniforms, but the twins' uniforms are exactly the same.
181* TheDividual: They rarely if ever appear separately, and are not even referred to by their individual names.
182%%* FinishingEachOthersSentences
183* HeManWomanHater: Pretty much the reason why they specifically have it out for Okuni.
184* PetTheDog: It's implied in "The Big Illusion" that one twin might actually [[VillainousCrush harbor a crush on Okuni]], their nemesis.
185** Also, in the same episode, they are visibly moved to tears by Pig's violin-playing.

196!!The Principal of Katana School
197!!!'''Voiced by:''' Charlie Adler, Pascal Massix (French dub)
198----
199* DrillSergeantNasty: is this to the Katana students. Ventures into Fridge Horror territory when his behavior comes off as abusive rather than comedic, since he makes the boys [[TrainingFromHell do push-ups until they pass out]] ("Cherry on the Cake"), and it's implied that [[WouldHurtAChild he uses a flail to punish Naginata]] in "Funny Chick".
200%%* GlowingEyesOfDoom
201* HairTriggerTemper: to the point where the Katana students (sans Naginata) shake when they talk to him.

211%%* BrattyHalfPint
212* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He only had one appearance and he also serves as one of the show's primary antagonists.

214%%* EvilRedhead
215* MyDadCanBeatUpYourDad: Will often make threats relating to his father's wealth when upset.
216* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: The core of his entire character. He spends the episode making an utter nuisance of himself to the kids of both Shuriken and Katana, yet he suffers no repercussions.
217* SpoiledBrat: His defining trait.
218%%* TheNapoleon
219
220!!Grand Master Otomo
221
222* JabbaTableManners: Watching him eat is... painful.
