->'''Fighting style:''' [[Characters/StreetFighterDanHibiki Saikyo-style Karate]]

* [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead Blonde]]: To Akira's brunette and Zaki's redhead -- if you squint just right, as her hair is more of an ash-brown.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Exaggerated. Despite being Yurika's younger brother, he is incredibly possessive of her to borderline incestuous levels. When Yurika betrays him out of conscience, he furiously brands her a traitor.

* BrotherSisterIncest: The [[MultipleEndings Darkside Student Council ending]] strongly implies that he might lust after his older sister Yurika.
%%** This doesn't take into account the noticable IncestSubtext that's present between the two in the Darkside story. [[{{Squick}} Eugh...]]

* VillainousIncest: Desires to have Yurika all to himself, and is rightfully portrayed as a unabashed villain.

* MeaningfulName: "Kurow" (Kurō 九郎) means "crow"[[note]]Actually, the kanji set means "ninth son", but that's pretty far from meaningful in this case[[/note]], which suits his dark personality. Additionally, "Kirishima" means "island of fog", so he's "the crow from the island of fog" -- pretty apt.

* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Yurika typically wears a very maudlin expression, though it's not surprising, considering the way her brother treats her.

* CuteBruiser: She's very strong for her size -- so much so that her tennis racket is reinforced with large bolts to compensate for her strength when she hits tennis balls with it.

* DualBoss: For their team's second story mode battle, he and Roberto double-team Natsu after she and Shoma have an argument. Shoma and Roberto start the match with 3 full stocks of super meter[[note]]they start with 5 in the UsefulNotes/PlayStation version[[/note]], while hers is empty. Meaning, they get to use their [[LimitBreak Burning Vigors]] and their team-up attack right from the start. So if you're using Shoma as your primary character, it's basically a CurbstompBattle. But if you're using Natsu, [[ThatOneBoss it's one of the most lopsided matches]] [[PerfectPlayAI in the game.]]

* Tsundere: He's constantly arguing with Natsu, yet he definitely has feelings for her and blushes when she is referred to as his "girlfriend."

* PassionateSportsGirl: In addition to her interest in volleyball, she's also a strong swimmer and even does a bit of spearfishing; as seen in the ending of the UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of the game ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77PXVfkeDGY&feature=related seen at 0:22]]).

->A character created for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation port of ''United By Fate'', Hayato is a physical education teacher at Taiyo High. When the school is the target of kidnappings and attacks, he sets out on his own to find out who is responsible. He doesn't assist his students, believing that they need to find out the problem and solve it on their own. In ''Project Justice'', he teams up with fellow teachers Hideo and Kyoko to investigate the new wave of attacks on the schools.

* Tsundere: She argues frequently with Shoma, yet clearly shares his romantic interest, and becomes easily jealous when Momo flirts with him.

* BecomingTheMask: Momo's [[RomanticFakeRealTurn fake crush]on Shoma turns real]] after he defends her from Kurow's outbursts.

* BecomingTheMask and RomanticFakeRealTurn: Momo's fake crush on Shoma turns real after he defend her from Kurow's outbursts.

* Tsundere: Arguing with Natsu, yet implying he has feelings for her, blushed when she was called his "girlfriend."

* Tsundere: She argues with Shoma, yet always likes him when he fights, also angrily jealous.

* OneeSama: Serves as one of the junior high students she teaches.

* PintsizedPowerhouse and LightningBruiser: He hits hard and has more damage despite being shorter, with his trusty bat. Uses his sliding tackle and fast-swinging bat to knock out opponents.
