Line 36:
* [[Emo]]
* [[Flat What]]: His standard reaction to Kafuka's improbable explanations.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Of the negative variant.
* [[Hot Teacher]]: Which may explain the legion of [[Chick Magnet|female]] ([[Even the Guys Want Him|and some male]]) students falling for him.
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: A snarky, apathetic teacher he may be, who is also prone to breakdowns and occasionally dying (and coming back to life), but nevertheless he shows genuine concern for his students -- well, some of them, anyways.
Line 59:
Youngest of the five Itoshiki siblings (and the only female), an ikebana master with a major complex towards the [[Alternate Character Reading]] of her own name. She eventually becomes a student in 2-He, under the tutelage of her immediate older brother Nozomu.
----
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In the anime she frequently faces the audience backside-up, a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Crayon Shin Chan|Shin-chan's]] ass-exposing antics -- both share [[Akiko Yajima|the same voice actress]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Spell out "zetsurin" and she will scream for a katana in no time.
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]
Line 80:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: [[Played for Laughs]] -- he is very easily (and frequently) traumatized by Nozomu's students' antics.
* [[Free-Range Children]]: Is pretty much this thanks to [[Parental Abandonment]]. There's references in the manga to the girls in the class taking turns raising him, but other than that, he's pretty much on his own, as Nozomu isn't really parent material.
* [[Innocent Prodigy]]: Comes across as more mature and down-to-earth than his uncle, but can also act in a way fitting his age. There's also some situations that might be either this or [[Ping -Pong Naivete]], like having a crush on a net idol and commenting on her breasts, while also thinking that [[Delivery Stork|storks deliver babies]].
* [[Likes Older Women]]: Hinted at, with his relationship to Kiri.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Just like his uncle, he frequently wears a kimono and hakama.
Line 134:
The Itoshikis' family butler, although he is mostly seen in Rin's presence.
----
* [[High -Class Glass]]
* [[It Amused Me]]: Admitted to this when asked if the insane [[Arranged Marriage]] proceedings he put Nozomu through are just for his pleasure.
* [[The Jeeves]]
Line 157:
 
== Class 2-He ==
Nozomu's high school homeroom class. The "He" (へ in Hiragana) signifies that it is the sixth second-year section based on the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Iroha |iroha]] order (in modern nomenclatures this would be called Class 2-6 or 2-F). The class is said to have 32 students, though so far only 23 have been named.
 
All students in this folder are in Nozomu's class unless otherwise noted. Nozomu's younger sister Rin is also a student in this class.
Line 317:
* [[Power Limiter]]: Her glasses are said to be one. She has incredible athletic talent, but doesn't want to use it for fear of being scouted to a sports club and thus chip away at her time drawing her yaoi doujins.
* [[Sequential Artist]]
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Often doubles as a [[Shout -Out]], given some of the pairings she likes to read about.
----
 
Line 363:
----
* [[Attention Whore]]: It's pretty clear that she seeks attention by flaunting herself and then loudly threatening to sue onlookers.
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Type 4.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]/[[Fauxreigner]]: She's half-Caucasian (of indeterminate nationality). A map of Britain appears when Nozomu is discussing her return, but she comes off like a [[Jerkass]] [[Eagle Land|American]]... until she starts bringing up animal sacrifices and other pleasantries. She probably just represents the outside world that is blonde and not Japan.
* [[Catch Phrase]]
Line 411:
* [[Love Hurts]]/[[Love Martyr]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: Her name can be read as 奥様な身 -- "okusama-nami" ("she is a housewife").
* [[Shout -Out]]: [[Kikuko Inoue]] herself appears in one segment of ''Zoku'', complete with her trademark "I'm eternally 17!" [[Catch Phrase]].
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Her husband frequently cheats on her, but also has the gall to mooch off her.
----
Line 481:
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]
* [[Gonk]]: Shares the distinct features of one-shot characters -- beady eyes, a rectangular mouth, and a flat nose.
* [[Shout -Out Theme Naming]]: Deliberately named after [[Kotono Mitsuishi]], and her pigtails-buns even emulate [[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Sailor Moon]], her breakout role.
----
 
Line 601:
* [[Large Ham]]: To some extent.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Just like his "old friend", he frequently wears a kimono and hakama.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]/[[Named After Somebody Famous]]: Not exactly his name, but his relationship to Nozomu. Turns out that they're more like one-day friends ("1日友") than old-time friends ("旧友"), with the author making a word play on the visual similarities between the two words. He's also named after [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikkyu |a Buddhist sage]], or specifically, his incarnation in the manga ''Ikkyu-san''. All three Ikkyus are characterized by a quirky personality and scholarly interests.
* [[Visual Pun]]: "One-day friends" ("1日友") and "old-time friends" ("旧友").
----
Line 700:
* [[Cameo]]: Like her fellow Vocaloids listed here, she made a cameo as well.
 
=== [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_Matthew_Perry:Commodore Matthew Perry|Commodore Matthew Perry]] ===
 
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Famous for (ahem) [[Gunboat Diplomacy|convincing]] Japan to reopen its ports to the world, he returns with an insatiable desire to (literally) open everything closed that he comes across--lockers, books, gas valves, etc., [[Anachronism Stew|about 150 years after his death]].
