UsefulNotes.Japanese Pronouns have their own meanings in the work, they usually would create (first) impressions on a character's characteristic. Some work manuals (especially recent ones) and sites like VNDB lists what pronouns characters use (VNDB in particular lists JP pronouns among "personality").

Thusly, do they double as Expository Pronoun?

Useful Notes are not tropes. Japanese Pronouns can be used as Expository Pronoun, but is often incidental to the story. There is a Japanese-specific trope called Bokukko, and there may potentially be others that we haven't made articles for yet.

So if e.g I list someone with Expository Pronoun, then say what (JP) pronouns they use and how they're characterized, then it'd be an example, right?

You'd say how their use of pronouns/honorifics characterize them, yes.
