[[File:tadakuni1_2805.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Miyu Irino]]}}
 
{{quote| "My name is Tadakuni. I live a normal life, attending a normal school, in a normal town."}}
 
A completely normal eleventh-grade schoolboy (so he describes himself) living a completely normal life in a completely ordinary town and studying in an [[One-Gender School|all boys']] [[High School]].
Line 19:
* [[Only One Name]]: Unlike Hidenori and Yoshitake, he (and Mei) has yet to be given a surname.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: It seems almost as if his whole life is a [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]].
{{quote| ''"My everyday life with my idiotic, hopeless and self-conscious friends still continues!"<br />
'''''Tadakuni''', in the anime's [[Book Ends]] skit'' }}
* [[Out of Focus]]: He slipped out from presence in the latter half of the anime--he had ''zero'' presence in episode 9, ''one'' scene when he choked on mochi in episode 10 (outside of his [[Chewing the Scenery]]), and one [[Eyecatch]] in episode 11. Episode 10's intro suggested that was because he is a [[Ridiculously Average Guy]], but can also be justified by his part-time job at the pizzeria.
Line 28:
== Hidenori Tabata ==
[[File:hidenori1_3956.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Tomokazu Sugita]] (teenager) and [[Yuko Sanpei]] (Grade 5)}}
 
{{quote| "That's it, Tadakuni! Run! Run, Tadakuni! Leave behind your [[Tsundere]] [[Patient Childhood Love Interest|childhood friend!]] Throw out your little sister who's [[Not Blood Related|unrelated by blood!]] Run past that [[Mysterious Waif|beautiful, mysterious]] [[New Transfer Student|transfer student]] until she fades into the distance! Hold on to that hand, and just, just... '''keep running!'''"}}
 
Tadakuni's classmate who looks stoic and emotionless. Despite his calm, stoic appearance, he is actually a stubborn [[Large Ham]] with an odd sense of humor.
Line 43:
* {{spoiler|[[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]}}
* [[Running Gag]]/[[Say My Name]]
{{quote| '''LITTLE SISTER/IMOUTOOO!'''}}
* [[Second Year Protagonist]]
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Subverted as he just ''looks'' stoic. {{spoiler|And he doesn't need them for vision purposes either.}}
Line 50:
== Yoshitake Tanaka ==
[[File:yoshitake_3913.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Kenichi Suzumura]]}}
 
{{quote| "A friend is... [[All Men Are Perverts|someone who walks with them even if they follow a different path]]! Someone who can bear the burden of their [[Panty Thief|sins]]! Isn't that what it means to be a [[True Companions|true friend]]!?"}}
 
Tadakuni's other friend, who looks more friendly and easygoing than Hidenori is... yet he's an idiot who shares Hidenori's odd sense of humor.
Line 74:
== Student Council President ==
[[File:DanshiPres_4705.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Akira Ishida]]}}
 
The handsome President of Sanada North High's Student Council, who does little actual work and is often absent from the Student Council room.
Line 91:
== Student Council Vice-President ==
[[File:DanshiViceRep_5298.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Hiroki Yasumoto]]}}
 
The Vice-President of the Student Council. Despite his scary appearance, he's well-mannered and polite.
Line 108:
== Motoharu the Delinquent ==
[[File:DanshiMotoharu_7919.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Daisuke Namikawa]]}}
 
Tadakuni's classmate and a member of the Student Council. Despite his notoriety as a delinquent, he only really looks the part.
Line 124:
== Toshiyuki Karasawa ==
[[File:DanshiKarasawa_5312.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Yuuki Ono}}
 
A quiet, stoic member of the Student Council who's always seen wearing a hat.
Line 143:
* [[The Stoic]]
** [[Not So Stoic]]: Asked Yanagin to allow herself to get a dose of his [[Kinnikuman|Kinniku Buster]] as payback for beating him up back in ''Grudge''.
{{quote| '''Habara''': [[Lampshade Hanging|Toshiyuki does weird things too, sometimes.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: He is Habara-phobic, ever since giving him a nasty wound that left an ugly scar on his forehead. Shown in extreme detail in ''High School Girls are Funky--Demon''.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Zen Survivor]]: He came out the worst of it out of the Archdemon's victims, and he has [[Scars Are Forever|the scar]] to prove it.}}
Line 152:
== Mitsuo ==
[[File:DanshiMitsuo_6346.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Nobuhiko Okamoto]]}}
 
A classmate of the main characters. He's also the biggest loser in class.
Line 167:

[[File:DLoHSB_Takahiro_9501.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Showtaro Morikubo]]}}
 
A student from Sanada West High and a classmate of the Literature Girl, who lives across the street from Karasawa and Habara.

{{quote| '''Voiced by''' [[Junichi Suwabe]]}}
 
A student from Sanada West High who hangs around with Takahiro.
Line 193:
== Habara{{spoiler|1=/Archdemon}} ==
[[File:DanshiHabara_9820.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Yukana]]}}
 
A girl from Sanada West High who lives next to Karasawa. Like her [[Distaff Counterpart]] Tadakuni, Yanagin and Ikushima frequently hangs out at her house. {{spoiler|Eight years ago, however, she was the "Archdemon," the [[The Bully|most dreaded kid in town]]. After a joint effort to "pacify" her by other kids, amongst which were Yanagin and "Rubber Shooter", she has completely changed for the good.}}
Line 215:
* {{spoiler|[[Red Baron]]: "Archdemon"}}
* {{spoiler|[[Reformed but Rejected]]: Everyone in town still remembers her as the "Archdemon" rather than the sweet, generic [[Girl Next Door]] she is now. Yes, she has kissed her romantic life and larger-scale friendships goodbye since ''third grade''.}}
{{quote| '''Takahiro''':Perhaps it's better for her {{spoiler|to leave this town.}}}}
* {{spoiler|[[Red Filter of Doom]]: During her flashbacks.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Retired Outlaw]]: Unfortunately for her, almost every male teenager in Sanada City [[Reformed but Rejected|is still very wary of her]].}}
Line 227:
== Yanagin ==
[[File:DanshiYanagin_3434.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Yuu Kobayashi]]}}
 
Habara's oddball friend from Sanada Central High, who, like her [[Distaff Counterpart]] Hidenori, often has something to say (translate: scream) about high school boys.
Line 247:
* [[Large Ham]]: Unlike Hidenori, she is very public about it.
* [[Meganekko]]: She subverts the "sweet glasses girl" archetype usually associated with the trope by being a loud-mouthed hothead. When Ikushima asked about that, she claims she only wears them not so much as a cuteness factor than as a remedy for her poor eyesight -- and threatened to ''rape'' her.
{{quote| "I'm not wearing them to fit in character stereotypes! I wore them because my eyes are bad!"}}
* {{spoiler|[[Morality Pet]]: A self-imposed one for Habara, always keeping an eye on her in case she relapses back into being the "Archdemon".}}
* [[Only Known By Her Nickname]]: [[Downplayed]]. Yanagin, the name her neighbours call her, is actually a diminutive of "Yanagi," a name her classmates in Central Perfectual would more likely use.
Line 256:
== Ikushima ==
[[File:DanshiIkushima_9312.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Chiwa Saitou]]}}
 
Habara's other friend from Sanada East High, who always goes along with whatever Yanagin's up to.
Line 274:
== Literature Girl/"Yassan" ==
[[File:DanshiBungaku_2852.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Youko Hikasa]]}}
 
{{quote| "''She's probably hoping for an unrealistically romantic "[[Boy Meets Girl]]" encounter...! Can her mind shake off gravity or what? See, she's already got a distant look in her eyes. I can already tell that her romantic maiden gauge is reading full!''"<br />
(Hidenori's [[Internal Monologue]], ''High School Boy and the Literature Girl 3'') }}
 
Line 314:
== "Ringo" ==
[[File:DanshiRingo_9329.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Aoi Yuuki]]}}
 
[[Student Council President]] of the all-girls Sanada East High, who's determined to prove the superiority of girls over boys.
Line 337:
== Mei ==
[[File:DanshiTadakuniIImouto_3374.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Ayahi Takagaki]]}}
 
{{quote| "Shut up! If you don't die right now, I'll kill you! If you don't wanna get killed, then die!"}}
 
Tadakuni's younger sister and a freshman at Sanada Central High. Despite talking with Tadakuni only once a month, she often ends up getting involved in her brother and his friends' hijinks.
Line 347:
* [[Running Gag]]: Her brother and his friends keep [[Panty Thief|stealing her lingerie]].
* [[Super Strength]]: In ''High School Boys and Tower'' she can lift both Hidenori ''and'' Motoharu on her shoulders, and in ''High School Boys and UFO Catchers'' she can shake a UFO Catcher at the arcades which the main trio ''together'' couldn't even move.
{{quote| '''Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake, [[Speak in Unison|in unison]]:''' "[[Lampshade Hanging|Just what IS she?]]"}}
 
== Mino ==
[[File:DanshiMotoharuOnee_2137.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Risa Hayamizu]]}}
 
{{quote| "It's pretty rare, what we have. Not many siblings get along, you know?"}}
 
Motoharu's older sister and a third-year from Sanada West High. Because their parents aren't around much, they're close, relatively speaking.
Line 368:
== Yoshitake's Older Sister ==
[[File:DanshiYoshitakeOnee_6770.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Ami Koshimizu]]}}
 
{{quote| "Did you know? Most entertainers get plastic surgery."}}
 
Yoshitake's older sister, third-year schoolgirl at Sanada Central High, and a compulsive liar. She's desperate for a boyfriend, and gets [[Berserk Button|highly upset when others bring this fact to light]].
Line 388:
== Nago (奈古) ==
[[File:DanshiNago_8459.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Junko Minagawa]]}}
 
{{quote| "These guys are pissing me off."}}
 
A third-year from Sanada Central High and a senior staff in a pizzeria where Tadakuni and Yasunori work part-time.

== NAGO (名護) ==
[[File:DanshiNagoCute_9848.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Junko Minagawa]]}}
 
Yanagin's "rival" at Sanada Central High. Her relation to ''that'' Nago, if there is any, is unknown.
{{quote| '''Note:''' Due to name similarities with the Nago above, she is referred to in capitals.}}
----
* [[The Ace]]: Outdoes Yanagin in academics, martial arts ''and'' eating.
Line 422:
== Yanagin's Sempai ==
[[File:DanshiYanagiSempai_9284.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Shizuka Ito]]}}
 
[[Student Council President]] of Sanada Central High, who mentors Yanagin, Habara and Ikushima on how to be "better" high school girls. Apparently has a past with Karasawa as well.
Line 439:
== Overly Self-Conscious Girl ==
[[File:DanshiExcitable_7189.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Haruna Ikezawa]]}}
 
A student at Sanada Central High who gets bothered by every little thing that happens around her.
Line 447:
* [[Inner Monologue]]: Justified given how self-conscious she is. In ''High School Boys and the Literary Girl 4'', she has ''as much'' of inner monologue as Hidenori.
* [[Running Gag]]
{{quote| "This guy's totally into me!"}}
* [[The Trickster]]: She's playing around with the guys in ''High School Boys and Distance''. Then Yoshitake comes in and [[Laser-Guided Karma|turns the tables on her]].
* [[The Trope Without a Title]]: like the Literature Girl, this name is not even used in-universe.
Line 456:

== Rubber Shooter{{spoiler|/Yoshitake}} ==
[[File:DLoHSB_RubberShooter_9323.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Romi Park]]}}
 
A mysterious kid whose true identity remains unknown. He saved Hidenori from bullies when he was young--and continued to be Hidenori's role model. {{spoiler|He was also part of the team that "pacified" Habara.}}
Line 479:
== Emi ==
[[File:DanshiEmi_3698.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Kaori Mizuhashi]]}}
 
A girl who lives in Hidenori's maternal hometown.
Line 490:
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: She finally finds the chance to confess her love to Hidenori on a festival, which coincides with his last day in town. But just when she thinks she finally found her chance (after several days without much success)...
* [[Surprise Incest]]: ...Hidenori makes a most surprising revelation to her: they are cousins.
