Here be the characters of Ikki Tousen.

Nanyou (Wu)

Sonsaku Hakufu (Sun Ce)

• Action Girl
• Badass Adorable
• Beware the Nice Ones - Remember: a person can be as nice as she is in Ikkitousen only because she can afford to be nice...
• Baka
• Big Eater
• Blood Knight AND Boisterous Bruiser AND Cute Bruiser
• Chaste Teens - One of three canonical characters in the franchise to qualify for this trope; not only is she too innocent (thinking that three men picking her up to Karaoke only want to have dinner with her), she's having far too good a time fighting to even be interested in sex.
• Cool Big Sis - How Chuubou views her
• Cute Little Fangs
• Easily Forgiven - The most admirable trait with this girl is that she does not hold grudges period; once the fight is over, anyone, even last-season's enemies, are affectionately embraced as friends.
• Expy - The Asuka to Ryoumou's Rei. Replace "bitch" with "moron", of course
• Fiery Redhead - More blonde in the manga, though.
• The Fool
• The Hero
• Honor Before Reason - Not that she has much reason to begin with, mind you
• Idiot Hero
• Masumi Asano
• The Messiah - Moreso in the Anime.
• Nice Girl - A refreshingly sweet, kind and good-hearted kid who can be friends with anybody.

• Thou Shalt Not Kill - Loves to fight, refuses to kill

Shuuyu Koukin (Zhou Yu)

• Bodyguard Crush - on Hakufu
• Chaste Teens
• Covert Pervert
• Dogged Nice Guy - though not as pushy as others
• Kissing Cousins
• Overshadowed By Awesome - thank you, The Worf Effect
  • He gets better late in the manga, however.
• Rescue Romance - he loves Hakufu because she used to protect him and cheer him up when they were kids
• Satoshi Hino
• The Smart Guy
• Weak but Skilled - In raw power and fighting ability he's overshadowed by most of the major players, but his mastery of Ki is incredible (most notably when he literally cancelled Toutotsu's Hakka Daiseishou by balancing his ki against it in volume 7).
• The White Prince
• The Worf Effect - Triumphantly averted later in the manga, but not by too much.
• Victorious Childhood Friend (anime only)

Ryomou Shimei (Lu Meng)

• Action Girl
• Dojikko - in Great Guardians

  • In Xtreme Xecutor (ep 03, 07:52), he proves he's still kinda badass by barely noticing Bachou Mouki's punch.

Sonsaku Goei (Lady Wu)

• Action Mom
• Hot Mom
• Housewife: in a crushing subversion of Yamato Nadeshiko, to boot.
• Kikuko Inoue
