Line 42:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Azusa and Nodoka's blue.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Though [[Aki Toyosaki]] seems to have avoided the typecasting that typically comes with successful roles; presently{{when}} she has a tendency of taking perverted and sultry seductresses who are ''nowhere'' as sweet and innocent as Yui is.
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Which gets abused relentlessly to seduce her into joining the club. And even after that, Mugi seems to be [[Crazy Prepared|keeping a lot of sweets handy]] for whenever the band needs Yui to do something. (Mugi seems to believe that [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|sweets are the solution to all problems]].)
** The scary thing is, [[Truth in Television|she's often right]].
Line 55:
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Although to a lesser extent than Yui.
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: On the rare occasions when [[Show the Forehead|she's not wearing her hairband]]. The first time she lets her hair down in the manga, Mio doesn't recognize her -- heck, she can be [http://www.mangareader.net/k-on/53/4 even indistinguishable from Yui].
** [[Unkempt Beauty|Many fans believe]] [[Bifauxnen|she looks better like this.]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100826041614/http://danbooru.donmai.us/post?tags=tainaka_ritsu+hair_down The sheer amount of fanart] '''[[Not Safe for Work|(LINK NSFW)]]''' [[Letting Her Hair Down|showing Ritsu's hair down]] is ''way'' out of proportion to the few seconds of screentime it gets.
** However, this was before the "NO, Thank You!" ending sequence, which allows us to see her with her hair down in all of the remaining episodes.
** There's a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bctn7tRdD6o video dedicated to it]{{Dead link}}.
Line 101:
* [[Going to See the Elephant]]: Mio is unexpectedly the most excited about going to Summer Fest out of all the members in the club.
* [[Gray Eyes]]
* [[Hidden Buxom]]: More obviously in the manga than the anime. In the ''K-On! college'' [sic] collection, Ayame grabs Mio unannounced, then comments, "She was hiding melons under that grandma shirt!"
* [[Hime Cut]]
* [[Lead Bassist]]: Type A, B ''and'' C.
Line 148 ⟶ 149:
* [[Informed Ability]]: When the girls discuss having to talk English abroad, she says that her conversational skills are good, but she doesn't show them. Considering how her [[Gratuitous English]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qggN2PlqOYA sounded]{{Dead link}}, it might be a case of [[Minako Kotobuki]] not being as good at English as Mugi's supposed to be.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Yui gave her the nickname "Mugi" -- one that pretty much stuck amongst the [[Nakama]].
* [[Mukokuseki]]: Played with, if not outright [[Defied Trope|defied]]. Although ethnically Japanese, Mugi is ''explicitly'' blonde and blue-eyed in-universe despite this -- and no one seems to think it's odd, even though for two seasons of the anime and six volumes of the manga she is the ''only'' natural blonde to appear in the series.
* [[Nice Guy|Nice Girl]]
* [[Ojou]]: Mugi's initially the only one with any decent musical talent, and her incredibly spacious beach house is mentioned to be her ''smallest'' one. Also, visitors to her ''family home'' need ''official appointments''. Not too common even by anime standards.
Line 222 ⟶ 224:
** In the manga, {{spoiler|they're first tipped off by the fact that she keeps timing better than her sister. The slips of the tongue are the clinchers.}}
* [[Uncanny Family Resemblance]]: Seen above.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: She's mature, responsible, does the household chores, and is
=== Sawako Yamanaka ===
[[File:Sawako_Yamanaka.jpg|thumb|250px]]
:'''Voiced by:''' [[Asami Sanada]] (Japanese) and [[Karen Strassman]] (English)
The Wind Instruments Club advisor, who was eventually blackmailed by Ritsu into also becoming the Light Music Club
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Sawa-sensei include:}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: NEVER EVER SAY THAT DEATH DEVIL IS CUTE!
Line 262 ⟶ 264:
[[File:Nodoka_Manabe.jpg|thumb|250px]]
:'''Voiced by:''' Chika Fujitou (Japanese) and [[Laura Bailey]] (English)
Yui's friend and classmate before she joined the band. She ends up becoming the high school's Student Council President.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Nodoka include:}}
* [[Meganekko]]
Line 272 ⟶ 274:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Yui's red.
* [[Student Council President]]: the rare type who's a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]].
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: In a way. She was Yui's best friend since kindergarten, but by their last year in high school, Yui has become much closer to her bandmates than she'll ever be with Nodoka. Subverted in that she has since become a friend to the rest of the band, and Yui still remembers how important she is in her life enough to {{spoiler|ask her to walk home together on their last day of school, knowing that by going to different universities, they probably won't be able to do so again}}.
Line 307 ⟶ 309:
* [[Blinding Bangs]]
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Though of the [[Nice Girl]] kind.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: While strange at first given her incredibly generic Japanese name and surname, {{spoiler|it is eventually revealed in chapter 3 of Volume 6 that Sumire's family actually came from
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Everybody's starting to call her "SuMIIre", as if her name was pronounced the way an English speaker would say it.
* [[Meido]]: She has worked as a maid for the Kotobuki household and tries to hide that by pretending to be a [[Dojikko]] instead.
* [[Mukokuseki]]: As with Mugi, played with if not defied. Another explicitly blonde-and-blue-eyed character with a Japanese name, she actually turns out to be {{spoiler|Anglo-Australian}} -- but no one realizes she ''isn't'' ethnically Japanese until she reveals this.
* [[Nice Guy|Nice Girl]]
* [[Ostentatious Secret]]: Sumire makes it very obvious that she doesn't want anybody at school to know she's Mugi's maid.
Line 319 ⟶ 322:
=== Nao Okuda ===
Another freshman who becomes the fifth member of Azusa's new Light Music Club. Unlike the others, she can neither sing nor play an instrument -- but she is an exceptional songwriter, and with her technical skills she becomes the band's producer.

* [[Bob Haircut]]
