Lucky Star/Characters: Difference between revisions

-----

-----

* [[Bi the Way]]: Implied -- whileImplied—while she does... odd things to other girls, she stated she's not into real-life [[Les Yay]].

{{quote| '''Konata:''' "[[http://s2-a.animea-server.net/2163<!-- 2FExtra_2_OSCEP2F2%2FExtra_2_OSCEP%2F2-SMZBH.jpg Well, yeah, that's true, but for now, I have no interest in being a lesbian in real life. It just all happened this way.]]" -->}}

* [[Dawson Casting]]: [[Wendee Lee]] was 52 when she played Konata. This was exaggerated by the fact that Konata appeared to have some form of growth deficiency.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Legendary Girl "A!".

* [[No Periods, Period]]: In the anime, Kagami seems to think she doesn't undergo one. Konata doesn't say anything on the subject.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: At seventeen (later eighteen) years of age, she only stands at 142cm142&nbsp;cm (4'8"). Not really annoyed by that though.

** One strip [[Lampshade|lampshadedlampshade]]d that, saying she is only biologically female.

* [[Petite Pride]]: [[media:Lucky Star - Petite Pride.png|Sometimes.]]

* [[Proud to Be Aa Geek]]

* [[Star -Making Role]]: This role fully cements [[Aya Hirano]]'s success, one that started with [[Suzumiya Haruhi]].

* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Nearly a clone of her mom Kanata -- downKanata—down to [[Older Than They Look|her lack of growth spurt]] -- except—except with her dad's skin tone and beauty mark.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Chocolate cornets. Even if she isn't sure how to eat them properly.

* [[Yuri Fan|Yuri Fangirl]]girl: She watches ''[[Strawberry Panic (Light Novel)!|Strawberry Panic]]'', and bought some of Hiyori's Minami/Yutaka [[Doujinshi]] at Comiket, although she's initially unaware that the latter ''was'' based on her otherwise innocent cousin.

-----

* [[Blue Withwith Shock]]: Her standard reaction to Konata's quips.

{{quote| "[[Hollywood Pudgy|It's my weight again! I gained it all back in, like, the blink of an eye!]]"}}

* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Naturally, during her deredere moments. Displayed a full body blush [[Media:Screen shot 2010-05-15 at 10 02 42 PM 5238.png|during her defining Comiket scene]] (her whole face and even her hands turned red).

* [[Moe]]: In-universe -- heruniverse—her [[Tsundere|attitude]] is deemed adorable by Konata.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Kagami can either be Konata's blue or Tsukasa's red.

* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: To Tsukasa.

* [[Straight Man]]: [[Word of God]] -- She—She's the most normal a [[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]] character can get.

* [[Tsundere]]: Her deredere side is not about romance but more on loneliness in general. Her [[Image Song|Image Songs]]s even have this -- onethis—one is fast and upbeat, the other a bit slow and has lyrics hinting at her loneliness.

* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Averted. Though she likes light novels, and specially [[Full Metal Panic!]], her reaction when innocently grabbing a [[Ho Yay|pretty graphical Sousuke/Gauron doujin]] at Comiket was a [[Luminescent Blush]] and a speedy exit.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Occasionally, thus giving her "Grade S" package.

-----

* [[Adorkable]] -: [[I'm Taking Her Home Withwith Me|I'm SO taking her home with me.]]

* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: [[http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/Yumi-Kimi-hime/Lucky<!-- 20Star20icons%20Star%20icons/thls111icon.gif Awwwww.]] Granted, it's ''Kagami'' who discovers her sleeping, and there's no romantic intentions. -->

* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: SheDuring vacations, she wakes up at noon, sometimes ''later'', and still thinks it's morning until someone points it out to her.

* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: To Kagami.

-----

* [[Blind Without 'Em]]: Without her glasses, Miyuki has a 20/200 vision.

* [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]]s: "Mi[[Wikipedia|wiki]]" (which Konata used to refer to her in the OAV), "Miyukipedia"

* [[Gag Boobs]]: [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]]d as Konata and Minami thought Miyuki, though unable to swim, can at least float ''because'' of her breasts.

** She even gets a [[Animal Motifs|cow joke]] from Konata at one point, and wins a race solely by being able to break the ribbon earlier. (The [[fan service]] in the latter is [[lampshaded]] by Konata.)

{{quote| '''Konata:''' "She's a walking shrine of Moe!"}}

* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms. Exposition]]: The go-to character for any and all explanations, leading to [[Wikipedia|her fan nickname]]. The one time she didn't know a bit of trivia (specifically, the origin of the name "Blue Hawaii"), she promised that she'd look it up at the earliest opportunity.

* [[Out of Focus]]: Towards the latter half of the anime. [[Lampshaded]] by the mangaka in the [[Omake]] -- which—which is sort of unfortunate as Yoshimizu apparently has a [[Meganekko]] fetish.

* [[Parody Sue]]: Mercilessly [[lampshaded]] by Konata as ''"The Perfect Superwoman" and ''"The personification of Moe itself."''

* [[Proper Tights Withwith a Skirt]]

* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Dentists?]]

Yui's younger sister who lives with Konata since she got into Konata's high school. Generally speaking, a [[Ill Girl|frail]] but [[Cheerful Child|cheerful]] [[Older Than They Look|fauxli]]. Her friendship with Minami often falls into [[Romantic Two -Girl Friendship]] territory.

-----

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of Chiyo Mihama of ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]''. This was [[Lampshade|lampshadedlampshade]]d when she introduced herself in front of the class (pictured above), and ''further'' lampshaded when she found she unwittingly [[Shout -Out|shouted out]] to Chiyo, because "[Konata]'s geekiness is rubbing off on me!"

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: She, surprisingly, has moments of this, especially a Volume 7 strip where, {{spoiler|hearing that Minami has been helping her to the latter's detriment in PE, she harshly asked Minami to ''not'' help in a ''long-distance running match''}}.

* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: She has streaks of this, which acts as a [[Deconstruction]] of some of her tropes -- hertropes—her [[Older Than They Look|growth deficiencies]] and [[Ill Girl|poor health]], considered as her major [[Charm PointsPoint]]s, clearly brought her social issues and she clearly likes neither. Also see [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]].

{{quote| '''Yutaka''': "Oh Tamura-saaaaaan! What does 'yaoi' mean?"}}

* [[LittleYounger SisterSibling HeroineFetishization]]: At least Konata thinks she is.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: For a fifteen-year-old, she's even way shorter than Konata at 138cm138&nbsp;cm (4'6").

* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: Compare to Yui, below.

Entering the story by [[Returning the Handkerchief|returning Yutaka's handkerchief]] in the beginning of what can be seen as a [[Romantic Two -Girl Friendship]], Minami is a quiet, expressionless girl often misunderstood by others to be creepy. Good at most subjects, and is childhood friends with neighbour Miyuki since both of them love reading.

-----

* [[A -Cup Angst]]: She is completely flat-chested -- atchested—at least Konata and Yutaka have very small ones. Her angsting over this is close to [[Once an Episode]] frequency.

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: At 163cm163&nbsp;cm, she's not ''that'' tall. The assumption, however, frequently stems from her association with the ''extremely'' diminutive Yutaka.

** There's also the panel of her cuddling with her dog. It's just as adorable.

* [[X Meets Y]]: [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Sakaki]] meets [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Nagato]].

Yutaka and Minami's classmate, member of the Animation Research Club, and [[Doujinshi]] [[Yonkoma]] mangaka with a habit of shipping game characters already, as well as [[Shipper Onon Deck|Minami and Yutaka]].

-----

* [[Blue Withwith Shock]]: Her reaction when Yutaka asks her [[The Ingenue|what yaoi means]].

* [[The Chew Toy]]: Almost as if Yoshimizu is punishing her for her perversions, she is the regular victim of [[Amusing Injuries]], [[Freudian Slip|Freudian Slips]]s, accidents and other misfortunes.

** Language note: Attacker at dodgeball is still [[Seme]]; it was [[Uke]] that she made the slip -- theslip—the correct term is ''mamori''.

{{quote| '''Hiyori:''' "And you're okay with her trying to nail you? Yeah I bet you ar--"}}

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: She frequently sees Minami and Yutaka as more than just an [[Odd Friendship]].

------

* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Queen of the Weaboos" -- [[Occidental Otaku|makes]] [[Proud to Be Aa Geek|sense]]...

* [[Foreign Exchange Student]]: She's an American exchange student and otaku who came to Japan to learn Japanese culture. Unfortunately most of what she know [[Animeland|is based on manga and anime]], which doesn't always match the reality.

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: She's around average height for an American schoolgirl, but she's living in Japan where [[Justified Trope|people are naturally shorter]], and many of her friends are small even by Japanese standards.

* [[Proud to Be Aa Geek]]: Who else would openly say she wants to have a [[Meido]] -- not—not a housekeeper -- inhousekeeper—in front of Kagami, of all people?

* [[Retcon]]: In the manga, she made a few appearance in the omakes and was already know by everybody in the cast. Come Vol.7, she is introduced at the main storyline as a new face among the cast.

Kagami and Ayano's classmate for five consecutive years, Misao is the latter's childhood friend and, as defined by the former, an unorganized "lazy ass". A recurring theme in post-anime strips is her rivalry with Konata -- forKonata—for Kagami, even Misao considered Kagami as being cold-hearted. Later, she {{spoiler|got into the same program of the same college as Konata}}.

-----

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Her hair went from black to brown.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Fang-tan", a nickname shared with [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Tsuruya]].

* [[Tomboyish Sidetails]]: Arguably.

-----

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She had one of the scariest [[Blue Withwith Shock|Blue With Anger]] in this series after Misao dream-talked about... something sexy between Ayano and Misao's brother.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Passive, likes taking care of others, and a good cook. To complete the image, [[Informed Attribute|sort of]], she has a boyfriend. However, she is no pushover.

------

* [[Gamer Chick]]:Her otaku tendencies are mainly in gaming and less on manga -- thatmanga—that doesn't mean she does not care about manga anyway.

-----

[[File:Izumi_Wakase_3396Izumi Wakase 3396.jpg|framethumb|200px|''(fanart)'']]

-----

* [[Something Only They Would Say|Something Only an otaku would say]]: Konata first found she's an otaku after Konata overheard her using [[Twin Tails]] for something [[Muggle|mugglesmuggle]]s would settle with "pigtails".

[[File:Tamaki_Yamanobe_518Tamaki Yamanobe 518.jpg|framethumb|200px]]

-----

* [[Blinding Bangs]] -- Lampshaded—Lampshaded by Kou, who wonders if she has problems reading through her bangs.

------

* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: With Yutaka.

------

* [[Lolicon]]: He buys [[H-game|H-games]]s for his underage daughter and takes shots of nubile girls at other schools' sports festivals. Needless to say, even his daughter was fed up and frequently fears for his arrest.

** In later volumes this aspect of his was subdued. One Volume 7 strip has Yutaka catching him {{spoiler|looking between the legs of figurines}} -- which—which horrified the innocent girl to no end.

* [[Perma -Stubble]]

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]

* [[Whole -Episode Flashback]]: The latter half of episode 22, when he recalled his life with his late wife Kanata.

------

------

An anime-only character, he is the manager of the Animate store Konata frequents. He is actually the mascot for the Animate chain as ''Captain Animate'', created by Shimamoto Kazuhiko in the late 90'90s; but the one who made him known in Japan was none other than [[Hideaki Anno]] (who directed a short [[Original Video Animation]] for the character,); a Radio Show was also made. Anisawa was made to help boost the sales and pickpique interest of the general public into buying anime merchandise, not just for Animate stores.

-----

* [[Asskicking Pose]]: Episode 12, when he lectured a salesman about the value of leftover merchandise.

* [[Cameo]]: Anisawa actually predates ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]''; he was Animate's mascot for some time before.

** He also Cameos in Disgaea4[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten|''Disgaea 4'']] of all places.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]] -- Trying—Trying to get Legendary Girl A to buy ONE THING proves about as successful as Wile E. Coyote getting the Road Runner to STAND STILL, let alone eat it.

* [[Hot -Blooded]], to the extreme ([[Incredibly Lame Pun|He's got a fever of 103]]). [[G Gundam|It's not hard to imagine why.]]

* [[Shout -Out]]: In one episode, he pulls a freaking ''[[Code Geass|Geass]]'' from out of nowhere. ''[[Compelling Voice|Lelouch's Geass.]]'' He uses it on Konata to get her to FINALLY buy something in his store... only for it to turn out that she doesn't have enough money.

* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]: ''Every'' attempt at selling something to "Legendary Girl A" (AKA Konata).

Miyuki's mother, who is just as cuddly, adorable and innocent as her daughter --— but not as smart.

------

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]/[[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: In the Volume 2 [[Bonus Material|Omake]], a "[[What If|what if]] Soujiro was Miyuki's father" strip showed Yukari sneaking up on him with a hammer and a very disturbing expression after he fondled Miyuki...

* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]

* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: There's a reason Miyuki is that cute -- itcute—it's genetic. The only thing they don't resemble, however, is emotional maturity.

==== :Voiced by: [[Junko Iwao]] (JP) ====

Konata's deceased mother, who looks just like Konata. Despite a bit wary about Soujirou's [[Lolicon]] tendencies, she still consider him to be actually caring for her -- [[Cassandra Truth|something nobody else will associate with Soujirou]].

------

* [[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]: In the [[Manga]].

* [[One -Scene Wonder]]: But what scene it was!

* [[Spooky Photographs]]: She unintentionally<ref>Possibly - she ''intended'' to be in the photo, but it might not have turned out the way she wanted.</ref> caused one of these while trying to get a family picture with her husband and daughter.

------

------

------

* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]

------

* [[Token Mini MoeLoli]]: There's Yutaka, but as a grade-schooler she's the youngest character in the series.

-----

-----

* [[Informed Attribute]] -- She—She ''says'' that she expresses her emotions, but Akira can't recall ever seing it.

-----

* [[Girlish Pigtails]] -- One—One of her changing hairstyles.

* [[Odango Hair]] -- Covered—Covered, another hairstyle.

Historically speaking, ''Lucky Channel'' predates ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]''. It is the name of the reader's column for ''Comptiq'', the magazine ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]'' serialized.

An [[Idol Singer]] in the ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]'' universe and "navigator" of ''Lucky Channel''. She's fourteen -- youngerfourteen—younger than most of the cast -- butcast—but has eleven years of acting experience. In ''Comptiq'' she is the name in which the magazine reply readers' mail.

-----

* [[Flanderization]]: Akira is ''not'' a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] (or at least not nearly as much) in the original manga -- butmanga—but come the anime version...

* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: Or at least [[Jerkass]] Eyes. Has a tendency to switch back and forth several times in a given episode.

* [[Hates the Job, Loves Thethe Limelight]]: Her "off-screen" personality in the anime. This came from her failure to get a position in the main show.

* [[Nice Character, Mean Actor]]: In-universe.

* [[Character Asas Himself]]

* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: He's abused pretty badly throughout the run of Lucky Channel, until he snaps...

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: In-universe -- heuniverse—he notes how his popularity is beginning to far outstrip [[White Dwarf Starlet|Akira's]]. In Episode 8's ''Lucky Channel'' he even boasts his own fan letters.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: He was nearly universally referred as "Sebastian" after a ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru (Light Novel)|Mariasama ga Miteru]]'' reference Konata made.

-----

* [[Yes -Man]]
