[[File:Lucky_Star_main_cast.jpg|frame|Introducing ''all'' (but three of) the girls from Lucky Star! From left: [[Satellite Character|Ayano]], [[Occidental Otaku|Patricia]], [[Cloudcuckoolander|Tsukasa]], [[Ill Girl|Yutaka]], [[Otaku Surrogate|Konata]], [[Tsundere|Kagami]], [[The Quiet One|Minami]], [[Meganekko|Miyuki]], [[Yuri Fan|Hiyori]], and ["Ensemble Darkhorse|Misao"]]]

 

''(To avoid [[Name Order Confusion]], note that is this a Given Name-first character sheet.)''

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

* [[Petite Pride]]: Sometimes.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Ankle-length, even.

* [[Ridiculous Procrastinator]]: We often get to see how much she procrastinates, yet her last-minute study can be amusingly effective at times.

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Konata often talks about tripping event flags like she's in a [[Dating Sim]], even though she's actually in a [[Slice of Life]] comedy.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

 

=== Kagami Hiiragi ===

-----

* [[Bi the Way]]: May have a crush on Konata (which is hugely exploited in [[Fandom]]), but has also been interested in a heterosexual relationship.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Mataku..."(Seriously.../Really...), whenever she's annoyed.

* [[Challenge Gamer]]: Lampshaded in one episode, where she sees her friends having fun playing and is frustrated at herself for playing so seriously.

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

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

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

** Episode 10's "Lucky Channel" discusses at length whether "tsundere" is the right word to describe her.

Kagami's cheerful and very loopy younger twin sister. She's actually very good at home chores and cooking, although she sometimes has to ask for Kagami's help because she forgets things easily.

-----

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

* [[Blank White Eyes]]: Her standard reaction to Konata's quips.

** [[Aya Endo]] also didn't perform at the concert, though she sent a video message during the show.

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

* [[Purple Eyes]]

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: Her failure to grow.

* [[Broken Bird]]: Averted. In Volume 4 Chapter 118, it was revealed that Yui's [[The Power of Love|sisterly love]] helped her avert problems in social interactions resulting from the years she spent as an [[Ill Girl]].

* [[Cheerful Child]]: Overaged, but her extreme case of [[Older Than They Look|Older Than She Looks]] still allows her to have the look of a child.

* [[Cutesy Dwarf]]: In-universe assumption of some of her classmates towards her, which is not particularly surprising in light of her associated tropes. She isn't really comfortable about this.

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.

-----

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Has the tendency in unanimated manga, coupled with her [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]].

* [[Bifauxnen]]: Played up by Hiyori in Episode 24.

* [[When She Smiles]]: Volume 5 has a single panel of her giggling at Yutaka falling down. It's absolutely adorable.

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

 

=== Hiyori Tamura ===

[[File:hiyoriluckystar.gif|frame]]

 

-----

* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: Her frequent fantasies about her friends indicate this or an overactive imagination.

* [[Animals Hate Him|Animals Hate Her]]: Or at least Minami's dog.

** She has a dog herself, so this is a subversion.

* [[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]], accidents and other misfortunes.

* [[Forehead of Doom]]

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Goes that at a plot-bunny-dissecting mode.

* [[Sequential Artist]]

** In the manga she implied that she befriended them simply to find chances at shipping them. Also, it is also implied that if they knew the way she shipped them, they would be ''angry''.

* [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi]] and [[Yuri Fangirl]]

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Patty is an [[Omake]]-only character in the early manga, only to be ascended to the main chapters later.

* [[The Danza]]: Her dub VA is named Patricia.

* [[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.

* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: She's an American, and has the second largest breast size of the entire cast.

* [[Learnt English From Watching Television|Learnt Japanese From Watching Anime]]

* [[Name's the Same]]: Try another [[Soul Eater|blond-haired, blue-eyed American "Patricia".]]

** And add [[Tokimeki Memorial|that third one to the list]]. Actually, due to the [[High School]] setting of both franchises, one's could have a [[Wild Mass Guess]] that the Lucky Star Patricia got inspired (minus the [[Occidental Otaku]] bit) by that Patricia.

* [[Occidental Otaku]]: Her knowledge in Japanese culture seemed to be limited to anime.

* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]

* 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.

* [[This Loser Is You]]

* [[Cute Little Fangs]]

* [[Dumb Is Good]]: Quite evident when we compare her and [[Challenge Gamer|Kagami's gaming style]].

* [[Those Two Guys]]: with Ayano

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Arguably the tomboy to Ayano's girly girl.

-----

* [[Berserk Button]]: Misao experienced this hidden side of Ayano when she spilled coffee on her stuffed raccoon in the manga, though we never got to see the full extent of Ayano's anger...

* [[The Caretaker]]

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: She's one of the girls without lines in the [[OVA]]. However she ''was'' the announcer in {{spoiler|Kagami's dream}} and did a bit of [[Voice Grunting]] during the volleyball game.

 

=== Kō Yasaka ===

[[File:166px-Kouyasaka.jpg|frame]]

 

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

* [[Berserk Button]]: Never insult anime merchandise featuring side characters or [[Serious Business|he will punch you in the face]].

** He also Cameos in Disgaea4 of all places.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]] -- 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.

------

* [[Adult Child]]

* [[The Ditz]]: Perhaps even more than Tsukasa: the [[Manga]]'s character sketch for Yukari stated that she was "good at nothing," whereas Tsukasa at least is an excellent cook.

** [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The character sketches say it's impossible for her to live alone, but it's impossible for her to get into that situation either.

 

== Lucky Channel Hosts ==

----

-----

* [[Animated Actor]]: Her rant in Episode 6's Lucky Channel.

* [[Genki Girl]]: But it's just part of her on-screen persona.

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

* [[Idiot Hair]]: It wouldn't be smart to call her an idiot, though.

* [[Idol Singer]]

 

=== [[Minoru Shiraishi]] ===

[[File:minorucartoon.jpg|frame]]

 

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: During a [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] moment in one segment of ''Lucky Channel'', Minoru starts calling out all characters voiced by [[Hiromi Konno|Akira's seiyuu]] from various anime. She in turn mentions how Minoru works part-time at a restaurant.

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

* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oplpdPahdEI His epic breakdown] in Episode 21's ''Lucky Channel''.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: In-universe -- 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.

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Except when he finally snapped, and in the final episode where it suddenly became green.

* [[Green Eyes]]: In the very final episode, his eyes were more detailed than when he was freaking out, it was revealed to be green.
