A list of characters from the ''Skip Beat'' manga and anime series.

----

 

== Skip Beat! (Main Characters) ==

=== Kyouko Mogami ===

Voiced by: [[Miki Nagasawa]] (drama CD), [[Marina Inoue]] (anime) }}

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Her mother is emotionally distant and neglectful, uncaring even when her daughter runs away from home.

* [[Haunted Heroine]]: In a very funny way. Kyouko is haunted by a number of little demons that embody her desire for vengeance. An important point of her new life is to get rid of these little monsters so she can fall in love again.

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: With her hair bleached, Kyouko gains a lot of points with the male cast.

* [[Laughing Mad]]: How she first reacts to hearing what Sho really thinks about her and when she's having an [[Imagine Spot]] thinking about finally getting her revenge on him (or anyone else that has slighted her) she generally ends up this way.

* [[Large Ham]]

** Also, when she worked in his family's ''ryokan'' she hid her feelings to not let the customers know she was upset. Which is one of the reasons why they wanted her to inherit the the ryokan.

* [[Strange Girl]]

* [[Woman Scorned]]: What kicks off the whole plot for her.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Before her breakup with Shou, she was a very deconstructed version of this. The emphasis wasn't on the kindness or the will of iron, but on the psychological downsides.

 

=== Shoutarou "Shou" Fuwa ===

Voiced by: [[Nobutoshi Canna]] (drama CD), [[Mamoru Miyano]] (anime) }}

* [[Bastard Boyfriend]]: Shou starts out as a straight example, but is quickly deconstructed when Kyouko realizes what a negative effect he’s had on her life, prompting her revenge quest.

* [[I Love You Because I Can't Control You]]: He only becomes attracted to Kyouko after she dumps him and swears to get revenge on him.

* [[Idol Singer]]

* [[The Vamp]]: Sexy, villainous, and very good at manipulating women, even his vengeful ex.

 

=== Ren Tsuruga ===

Voiced by: [[Ken Narita]] (drama CD), [[Katsuyuki Konishi]] (anime) }}

* [[Almost Kiss]]: {{spoiler|The incident in Ren's kitchen in the Dark Moon arc made a lot of fangirls squee.}}

* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Subverted/inverted, since Ren only sparkles when he's angry. Conversely, during scenes where you'd expect the sparkles to appear, he favors the [[Love Bubbles]].

* [[Bishonen]]

* [[Secret Identity Identity]]: It's hard to say, after years of acting a gentleman, how much of Ren's real personality remained in him, and how much is just a persona he created.

* [[Shirtless Scene]]

* [[Technically a Smile]]: Ren’s "lying gentlemanly smile," which can reduce Kyouko to a puddle of [[Ocular Gushers]].

 

=== Kanae "Moko" Kotonami ===

Voiced by: [[Risa Hayamizu]] (anime) }}

* [[Broken Bird]]

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]

* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Her de-facto role in her family because her parents are prone to [[Casa Lane Parenting]] and her older siblings have their own families to care for (and are also [[Casa Lane Parenting|Casa Lane parents]] anyway).

* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Kyouko.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Mo," hence her nickname.

 

=== Lory Takarada ===

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: he may seem like an eccentric rich idiot to the unaware, but there’s a good reason why LME is THE more successful talent agency there is and why he’s so well respected by pretty much anyone that knows him beyond his image. He can also read people like open books, being well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of all his talents (this being the main reason he created [[Love Me]] to begin with); and in particular, he was well aware of Ren’s lacking skills for love acting and also realized he had fallen for Kyoko after just one look at his expression towards her.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

 

=== Maria Takarada ===

* [[Broken Bird]]

* [[Creepy Child]]: Played for laughs.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Anyone who makes a pass at Ren had better be prepared to endure Maria’s wrath.

* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]

 

=== Yashiro ===

* [[Keet]]: Not small or colorful, but indeed hyperactive and regularly loud when in fangirl mode.

* [[Meganekko]]: Well, [[Gender Flip|for a given value of "-ko"]], anyway.

* [[Walking Techbane]]: If he holds a cell phone in his bare hands for more than ''ten seconds,'' it will break. He's even used this to his advantage, to try and get information out of Ren.

 

=== Shoko ===

* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]

* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Sho certainly seems to think so.

 

=== Reino ===

* [[Beauty Mark]]

* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: What he wants to do to Kyoko.

* [[Femme Fatalons]]: Has the male equivalent.

* [[Hellish Pupils]]

* [[Psychic Powers]]: He seems to have some form of ESP.

* [[The Vamp]]: Even [[The Vamp|Vamp]]-ier than Sho.

 

=== Kuu Hizuri ===

* [[Adorkable]]: His [[Doting Parent]] aspects can be very endearing.

* [[Big Eater]]: A meal for 50 people gone in an hour.

* [[Hot Shojo Dad]]: Kuu has aged ''very'' well.

* [[Jerkass Facade]]: When Kyoko first meets him.

* [[Parental Substitute]]: To Kyoko.

 

=== Hiroaki Ogata ===

* [[Bishonen]]

* [[Generation Xerox]]: To the point that he's somewhat disturbed by it.

* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: He's regularly mistaken for his father, director Hirotaka Date. He's not very happy about this

* [[Turn Out Like His Father]]: Hiroaki is struggling to find an identity that doesn't just appear to be a shallow clone of his father's.
