Tokimeki Memorial/Characters/Girls Side 1

This sub-division of the Tokimeki Memorial Character Sheet is dedicated to characters having appeared in the Habataki Saga of the franchise, i.e. Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1 and its spin-off games and drama CDs.

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa


The main hero of the Habataki Saga, and basically the "perfect guy" of this game (i.e. the male counterpart of Shiori Fujisaki in the Kirameki Saga). In short, he's smart, athletic, popular, and good-looking (to the point that he works part-time as a model!). And like Shiori of the first game, this guy also demands high stats from the player. While he seems a bit snobbish at first impression, he warms up to the player once she gets to know him better.

- Tropes associated with Kei Hazuki:
 * The Ace: He's good-looking, athletic, and very intelligent, as per usual for TokiMemo's "prince" characters.
 * Bishounen: Fits him right to a T.
 * The Cameo: On a banner in the shopping mall in Girl's Side 2.
 * Cannot Spit It Out:
 * Catch Phrase: He's fond of "betsuni" ("it's no big deal/nothing special").
 * Childhood Friend Romance
 * Crash Into Hello: The heroine meets him this way.
 * Cuteness Proximity: During one of his CG events, the heroine runs into the ordinarily level-headed Hazuki lavishing attention on a bunch of kittens.
 * Informed Attractiveness: He is a model after all. One of the rarer cases of this trope being used in an anime/game instead of the usual Bishie Sparkle trope.
 * Kindhearted Cat Lover: Kei loves cats with a passion and is always kind to them.
 * Nintendo Hard: Just like Shiori Fujisaki.
 * Not a Morning Person: He has a habit of falling asleep in class because of his modeling jobs. When he does, he scores a zero for that exam, one of the only smudges against his status as The Ace.
 * The Stoic: He's rather apathetic and doesn't get worked up about much.

The bookwormish but nice guy of the Habataki Saga, most likely patterned after Kirameki's Mio Kisaragi. Interested in plants and gardening.

- Tropes associated with Sakuya Morimura:
 * Adorkable: Just look at him!
 * Bothering By the Book: How he saves the heroine from a date-crashing salesman. He simply asks the salesman a lot of questions about his product (if it's as eco-friendly as the bottle states, how the manufacturing wastes are disposed of, what the packaging is made of, etc.) until the poor salesman gets flustered and runs off.
 * The Cameo: In Girl's Side 2, he appears in the background of the autumn leaves trail.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Has a bit of this to him, what with his whole "I wish I could talk to plants" thing...
 * Flower Motifs: Sakuya really loves plants. He even plants some anemones and once they have grown he takes the heroine to see them where he admits to her that they represent the love he has for her.
 * Megane
 * Nice Guy
 * Post-Kiss Catatonia: Getting his (DS-exclusive) kiss ending results in a couple of panels of "............" and his seiyuu gasping and going "Ah...!? Wha...!?"
 * Rummage Sale Reject: His taste in non-school-uniform clothing is...unique.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Water?: In one of his CG events the heroine questions Sakuya on why he won't let go of the inflatable ball and he tells her it's because he can't swim.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Blue... aqua... turquoise... whatever you wanna call his hair color. The chalkboard doodle from his ending shows it as lime green.

The sporty guy. Plays basketball, and always sports a band-aid under his left eye. Once he gets close to the protagonist he'll become rather attached and protective of her.

- Tropes associated with Kazuma Suzuka:
 * Baka: Expect to hear it a lot when dating him; he uses it as an endearment.
 * Book Dumb: He's not very good at academic studies.
 * The Cameo: In Girl's Side 2, he appears in the background at the zoo's white tiger exhibit.
 * Gentle Giant: Who evolves into a Knight in Shining Armor when he gets really close to the protagonist.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Knight in Shining Armor: Once he is in love with the heroine.
 * Pointless Band-Aid
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: If you're working at the coffee shop and he likes you enough, he'll show up at work claiming, "I got thirsty while I was training. This coffee house is on my jogging route! That's why!" The only thing is, nobody actually asked why he was there...
 * Why Did It Have To Be Lions?: He is afraid of lions, as the heroine finds out when they visit the zoo.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Lions?: He is afraid of lions, as the heroine finds out when they visit the zoo.

The bruiser and flirt. Comes off a delinquent at first but proves to be a nice guy. Loves motorcycles, and is actually a great cook.

- Tropes associated with Madoka Kijyou:
 * The Big Guy: He's one of the tallest guys in the game.
 * Book Dumb: Fails exams without remorse.
 * Chef of Iron/Supreme Chef
 * Embarrassing First Name: He doesn't like his given name, saying it sounds like a girl's name; the heroine must be very close to him before he will let her call him by it.
 * Friend to All Children: One of his events shows him surrounded by kids at the park. They call him "Kansai-oniichan" and tell the PC that he buys them candy and scares off older bullies.
 * Handsome Lech/Chivalrous Pervert
 * Kansai Regional Accent: Which is remarked upon on several occasions.
 * Kansai Regional Accent: Which is remarked upon on several occasions.

The artistic guy. Very handsome to the point of coming a little too close to being feminine, which extends to his fashion statement. He's also quite verbal and melodramatic in expressing his feelings.

- Tropes associated with Shiki Mihara:
 * Anguished Declaration of Love: His ultimate confession to the heroine has the flavor of one, especially if she tells him that she doesn't think she's good enough for him.
 * Attractive Bent Gender: When [[media:Miharadrag_fangirls.jpg|fully dressed up]], he's said to be even more beautiful than the girls (and they love him for it too)!
 * Bishounen: Stands out as bishounen even amidst a cast of bishounen.
 * The Cameo: In Girl's Side 2, one of the museum's events is an exhibit of his work, and if the protagonist goes there on a date or a school outing, he's visible in the background.
 * Camp Straight: His flamboyant fashion sense and comfort with dressing in women's clothing or declaring himself a fairy prince raise some questions about his orientation, but he doesn't give any indication of being interested in guys.
 * The Dandy: He has a thing for fancy clothing, art, and 'beauty' in general.
 * Insufferable Genius: A bit. He's incredibly vain, albeit generally pleasant and rarely intentionally condescending. Considering that most of his artwork from middle school went to various museums and art galleries, his ego is at least somewhat justified.
 * Large Ham
 * Long-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Momma's Boy: Shiki loves his mommy. Mostly just played as indicative of his quirkiness rather than as a negative.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Though it can be hard to tell since most of his character portraits are viewed from the front, a few of his album shots show that his hair is very long.
 * Spoiled Sweet: His ego notwithstanding, he's a pretty nice guy, and probably the most affectionate boyfriend in the game.
 * Thanks for The Mammary: In the most absurd way. In one of his events, [[media:Miharaperv_bust.jpg|he's groping a bust]].

The Kohai of the game. A year younger than the protagonist, and given his age is such a wannabe trying to be a "man". A member of the baseball team.

- Tropes associated with Wataru Hibiya:
 * Berserk Button: Never call him "bouzu" or "kouzu" (the terms for "kid").
 * The Cameo: He appears in one of the "meeting place" backgrounds in Girl's Side 2.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy
 * Keet
 * Likes Older Women: He's into older, sexy girls (hence is boyfriend material for the protagonist, or so he claims).
 * Mouthy Kid: And how!
 * Sempai-Kohai
 * Why Did It Have To Be Heights?

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu


The protagonist's homeroom and math teacher. He is very stern and demanding, but truly means well for his students, which (along with his good looks) makes him popular in spite of his strict attitude.

- Tropes associated with Reiichi Himuro: "Himuro: I had no problems being up on stage, but... I just couldn't get the audience to understand the way I interpreted my characters...
 * Beautiful Dreamer: In one of his events, when he falls asleep during the heroine's remedial lesson.
 * Bishounen: Older aged example.
 * Bishie Sparkle: He manages to do a little one during the summer band camp.
 * The Cameo: In Girl's Side 2, he appears in the background if the heroine visits the aquarium.
 * Catch Phrase: He has a habit of saying "Ijou" ("That's all") at the end of his speeches to the class, but doesn't do it often enough to constitute a Verbal Tic.
 * At one class trip, the heroine is given the option of saying "Whatever is fine. That's all." and he asks if she's trying to mimic him (then tells her she's lacking practice).
 * Cool Car: A Maserati.
 * Drives Like Crazy: He's normally a safe driver, but one of the special scenes involves him "teaching a lesson" to another driver who cut him off while on a date with the heroine. She's understandably scared (but then thanks him for the drive like any other date and makes no mention of it when they get home).
 * Defrosting Ice Queen
 * Gilligan Cut: In his Christmas event in the third year, when the protagonist asks him to take him with her to his friend's jazz bar, he adamantly refuses, saying it's no place for him to take a student. The game immediately cuts to Himuro's friend welcoming them both to the bar: "Table for two?"
 * Hot for Student
 * Hot Teacher: HELL YEAH!
 * Love Is a Weakness: If the heroine asks him if he's ever been in love, he goes off on an explanation that love is just something that happens in your brain and that he's not the type to fall for such silliness. However, when she presses him as to whether he's ever been in love, he admits that he never said he'd never been in love, then promptly ends the conversation.
 * Kuudere: Type 1.
 * May-December Romance: He's 27 at the start of the game, 30 by the ending, about twelve years older than the heroine.
 * Moe: He's secretly fond of it. When the heroine asks him if he thinks she's attractive, he tells her that he finds the way she always doubts herself and her own virtues to be "very lovable".
 * Nintendo Hard: He's even harder to win than Kei Hazuki, thanks to his very high standards and the fact that he is your teacher and very well aware of it. Among other things, you cannot obtain his phone number and must wait for him to ask for dates - which for a good half of the game are likely to be restricted to school activities.
 * Noodle Incident: His bartender friend claims to know some sort of juicy gossip from their high school days, but Himuro constantly interrupts him before the heroine can find out what it is.
 * Photographic Memory: He claims he doesn't need music records because if he hears a song once, he can replay it entirely any time he wants in his head.
 * She Is Not My Girlfriend/Insistent Terminology: He stubbornly insists that he's not taking the PC out on dates, it's a social study. He continues to insist this even when he's taking her to an amusement park, to play pool, or to simply drive her around in his car.
 * Shout-Out: During the second year's cultural festival, his band performs a Theme Song from Konami's Genso Suikoden series, 'Into a World of Illusions'.
 * Stern Teacher
 * Stoic Spectacles
 * To Make a Long Story Short: He's prone to making a long speech and then summing it up again in the next line, especially if it's something he's embarrassed about. For example, if you ask what he aspired to do in high school and he mentions acting:

Heroine: Um...so that means...

Himuro: ...That means I suck at acting! That's all."

The perverted school principal. Thinks he's a lady's man, but no, he's just an annoying old geezer.

- Tropes associated with Ikkaku Amanohashi:
 * Berserk Button: Don't call him Oochan ("gramps"; in fact he finds the "-sama" honorific revolting!)!
 * The Cameo: In Girl's Side 2, he appears in the background at the Sky Garden.
 * Crash Into Hello
 * Dirty Old Man
 * Hot for Student: And unlike Himuro, he's not especially shy about it.
 * Lolicon
 * Nintendo Hard: To a point. Like Kei and Himuro, he has high stat requirements more or less across the board, and like Himuro his being a member of the school administration complicates things and prevents the protagonist from being able to ask him out. Players who get their stats high enough to meet his criteria on the way to trying for Kei or Himuro's endings, however, are likely to find that it's more difficult to get rid of him.
 * Porn Stache

A student from Kirameki Highschool (boy do all roads lead back there!). Meets the protagonist by accident in a misdirected email (how the hell can he confuse the protagonist's email address from that of his parents?).

- Tropes associated with Chiharu Aoki:
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Eagle Land: He's from America (in fact he starts highschool just shortly after arriving from there).
 * Late Arrival Spoiler: He's a secret character of the game, but now he's prominently displayed on Konami's website with the rest of the guys.
 * Secret Character
 * Shrinking Violet: He's incredibly shy in person, and even when he invites you to meet in person, he initially runs away from the meeting because he was too embarrassed to speak.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Blue is normal compared to lavender hair. Or lime green.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Blue is normal compared to lavender hair. Or lime green.

A character exclusive to the DS version of the game. He's the delinquent of the game and is part of a gang. Unlike the other members of the gang though he is very studious. He attends Hanegasaki High School from the second Girl's Side game.

- Tropes associated with Jin Tendo:
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys
 * Curtains Match the Window: At least until he dyes his hair back to brown.
 * Delinquents: Unlike Madoka, Jin really is a delinquent, though he can reform.
 * Expository Hairstyle Change: After Jin reforms he changes his dyed blond hair back to his normal black hair.
 * You also have the option to tell him you prefer it blond, in which case he'll dye it back again. And yes, this changes the CG you get in his ending, too.
 * Good Hair, Evil Hair: See the Expository Hairstyle Change entry above.
 * Handsome Lech
 * Reformed but Rejected: Subverted somewhat as the heroine truly believes that he can reform from his gangster ways.
 * Technical Pacifist: He promises the heroine that he won't fight any more, but still feels loyal to his gang. So, in the end, he decides to use himself as a shield for his gang members and simply allows the rival gang to beat him up instead of fighting back. He does, at least, realize that he didn't really capture the spirit of his promise: the heroine wasn't so much against fighting as she was worried he'd end up injured again.
 * The Beard: Upon first meeting the heroine he drags her into a clothes store to escape a rival gang from beating him up and asks if she can pretend to be his girlfriend.

The owner of several of the shops the protagonist visits when shopping for dating necessities. A fashion designer and advisor, but for some reason he doesn't practice himself what he preaches - he himself has a very weird fashion sense, and is just plain eccentric.

- Tropes associated with Goro Hanatsubaki:
 * Ambiguously Gay: Starts with his fashion statement, then he's also close friends with Ikkaku Amanohashi (sometimes looking at the latter in a certain way).
 * Easier Than Easy: No need to worry about bombs when going after him.
 * Relationship Voice Actor: Another husband and wife seiyuu team who have now both appeared in the Tokimemo franchise. His wife is Rei Igarashi who played one of the main datable girls, Mira Kagami, in the original Tokimemo game.

 * Gratuitous French: Justified as she used to live in France and consequently can speak it fluently and.

Tsukushi is the heroine's younger brother hence why he does not have a surname since he shares the player's surname. He serves the same function as Yoshio Saotome and Takumi Sakaki from the first and second Tokimemo games respectively as the "info man".
