- Best Served Cold: He can be very vindictive when he is cheated on or otherwise wronged.
- Butt-Monkey: The guy just can't catch a break. He is either constantly being cheated on by his wife/girlfriend or being bullied by the antagonist.
- The Dog Bites Back: He does this every time he finds out about the cheating or when he turns the tables on his antagonists.
- Geek: If the story is set in a school, he's most likely to be the unpopular kid. Moreover, he sometimes makes anime references in his monologues and dialogues.
- Good Angel, Bad Angel: Whenever Hiroshi doubts if the Girl of the Week is cheating on him, devil and angel versions of himself appear. His shoulder angel advises him to give her a chance, while his shoulder devil tells him to take revenge.
