Line 29:
* [[Determinator]]: Is this in the ''Drama Series'', and lampshaded by Shiori in ''Tabidachi no Uta'': she mentions that he has a "hate losing" and "never give up" mentality ever since he was a little child. However, that doesn't make him immune from getting a...
* [[Featureless Protagonist]]
* [[Girls Have Cooties]]: Part of [[Start of Darkness|the reason why he and Shiori got estranged]], according to ''Tabidachi no Uta'', is the following:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: He gets a few of them in the ''Drama Series'' games, the most notables being found in ''Nijiiro no Seishun'' and ''Tabidachi no Uta'':
* [[Heroic Mime]]:
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Poor
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]:
** In the ''Motto! Tokimeki Memorial'' Radio Drama series,
** And as of ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'', aka the Modern Kirameki Saga, which occurs 15 years later,
** Given how just about everything seems to points towards Shiori, ''Victorious'' seems more likely than ''Unlucky.'' If she is [[Nintendo Hard]], then it simply means that he is just that good.
=== Shiori Fujisaki ===
Line 46:
[[The Ace|A talented, beautiful and sociable young girl]] who excels at both studies and sports, so much that’s she dubbed "the Superstar of Kirameki High" (and is as such the closest thing the ''Tokimeki Memorial'' series has for a [[Canon Sue]]). There’s however a thing she’s clumsy at, and that’s love: she has very high standards and expects her ideal boy to be just as perfect as her, and her heart will always waver when the guy of her dreams (hopefully your Player Avatar) will slowly drill his way to her heart.
She’s the poster girl of the series, with at least a minimal presence even in the games she’s not the star (
----
Line 52:
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Especially egregious [[The Anime of the Game|in the OVA]].
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]: Can become one if her starting parameters set her as a member of the Soccer or Base-Ball Clubs.
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Shiori sure loves her hairbands. Not only, it's one of the best gifts for her, and but it also goes as far as a plot point in ''Tabidachi no Uta'',
* [[Girl Next Door]]: She and the main protagonist live in the houses right next to each other.
* [[Locked in a Room]]:
* [[Nice Hat]]: She wears one in the “Kaze to isshoni yukou” Music Video, in ''Tokimeki Memorial Selection: Fujisaki Shiori''.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Renowned for being the hardest character in the entire series to get the ending of. Especially egregious in the Super Famicom version of the original game because love is not enough. You can get all love events with her and she still won't take you if your stats aren't good enough. In almost all other material and supplements for this game though, love apparently IS enough.
* [[Snow Means Love]]: One of her Events in the original game, occuring
* [[Tears of Joy]]:
* [[Together Umbrella]]: One of her Events.
* [[Trauma Swing]]: Does this during an event of ''Tokimeki No Houkago'' where she's troubled and confused regarding her growing feelings towards Naoto.
Line 70:
A kind, cheerful and very sociable girl, [[Supreme Chef|skilled at cooking]], [[Yamato Nadeshiko|who holds family values in high regard]], and loves to take care of her friends, be their energy, and cheer them up. She’s so well-loved for this, she’s known as the “Idol of the Sports Club of Kirameki High” among the boys. She’s always on the lookout for potential good sportsmen, and this is one of the ways the main protagonist can meet her. Believing that doing one’s best in everything is more important than winning, her ideal type are perseverant sportsmen, even though she’s not herself that athletic.
She’s the manager of either the Soccer Club or the Baseball Club, leading to a conflicting canon as to which of the two clubs she is in: the ''Drama Series'' games and the Radio and CD Dramas make her the manager of the Soccer Club, while ''Tokimeki no Houkago'' and ''
Due to her kind character and her very high versatility in tastes, [[Ensemble Darkhorse|she’s one of the most popular characters in the entire series among fans]], [[Up to Eleven|to the point she has often beaten extremely well-loved Shiori in official and game magazines character polls]]. This popularity was recognized by the series’ creators, who made her the heroine of the first ''Drama Series'' game, ''Nijiiro no Seishun''.
Line 79:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: She loves to cheer up people by screaming “Gambatte!” (“Do you best!”)
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]: The [[Dating Sim]] [[Ur Example]].
* [[Everything's Better with Rainbows]]: On the symbolical level: Rainbow is one of the two main elements (along with a soccer ball) in the cover, title screen,
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: To a degree. One way to bring her to "enraptured" state is to play hard to get by not asking her out on dates and turning her down when she asks you out (but don't take it too far so as to make her "bomb" you). Because of this it's possible to accidentally win her while trying to go after another girl.
* [[Ill Girl]]: Two instances in the Classic Kirameki saga. The first is in the original game, if you choose to go with her on the school trip.
* [[Kiss of Life]]: In her Summer Event at the Pool in the original game, Saki will nearly drown, needing a Kiss of Life.
* [[Multitasked Conversation]]:
* [[Nice Hat]]: Her Autumn Date clothes include a nice cap.
* [[Pinky Swear]]: With the protagonist; it's a driving force of ''Nijiiro no Seishun'' 's plot.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: In an interview inside one of ''Nijiiro no Seishun''’s official guidebook, Saki’s [[Seiyuu]], [[Sachiko Sugawara]], revealed that she caught a cold coincidentally at the time of recording the scene where
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Her bento are so delicious, they are nicknamed “NijiBen” ([[Portmanteau]] of “Nijino” and “Bento) and are considered, according to [[Bromantic Foil|Yoshio]], one of the girls’ 3 most valuable items in Kirameki High, along with [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs|Shiori’s hairband]] and Mira’s earrings. [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|She considers her cooking skills as her only talent]], and thus
** But despite this status, she’s one of the girls who can botch the dinner at the Club’s Summer Camp. Due to this, she’s one of the most apologetic characters for this incident.
* [[Team Mom]]: She’s this for the Club she’s the manager of.
* [[Tears of Joy]]: Does this in the original game's [[Meaningful Name|aptly named]] Special Event "Tears Of Joy", which occurs if both you and Saki are members of the Base-Ball Club, and you win the Koshien (the National Inter-high Baseball Championship). She also shed those in
* [[Through His Stomach]]: One of her dating tactics towards the main protagonist, when she’s in love with him. Both in the original game and ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', she’ll treat him with her famous “NijiBen”.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Family tradition is a priority.
Line 129:
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]
* [[Crash Into Hello]]
* {{spoiler|[[Easier Than Easy]]: She's actually quite easy to win if you want to win her on purpose, almost as much as Rei Ijuin below. Simply concentrate on building your stats to the maximum and don't go on dates with anyone, and you're good to go. She's not affected by "bombs"; she just likes high stats just like Shiori Fujisaki
* [[Graceful Loser]]:
* [[Love At First Sight]]
* [[Secret Character]]
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: A sympathetic example in her case, however.
=== Yoshio Saotome ===
Line 176:
** However, her scenario in ''Tabidachi no Uta'' revolves around helping her improving her cooking skills so she can give her brother Yoshio a delicious meal, and actually ''succeeds'' in doing so in the end.
* [[Third Person Person]]: She likes addressing herself by her name.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Being a wrestling fan, Yumi has her own [[Finishing Move]] (which she refined by using it against her brother
=== Rei Ijuin ===
Line 184:
A classmate of the main protagonist. Just like Yoshio, appears on the first day of school. Grand-son of Kirameki High’s school headmaster, and heir of the ultra-rich Ijuin Family, which runs lots of wealthy local and international businesses. Flamboyant, arrogant and caustic, Rei never misses an opportunity to mock the protagonist and Yoshio. In contrast, he’s ''extremely'' popular with the girls and [[Attention Whore|he’s fully aware of it]].
{{spoiler|[[media:rei ijuin2.jpg|She’s actually]] [[Bifauxnen|a girl]]; the reason why she dresses as a boy is a family custom she has to following until her coming of age
Line 193:
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Two of them are shown in the series: the regular one in the original game, and the summer residence in ''Tokimeki Memorial: Private Collection''
* [[Custom Uniform]]
* {{spoiler|[[Easier Than Easy]]: Rei is actually the easiest character to get the ending of in the original game. Just spam her with phone calls each week-end and you’re good to go; you don’t even have to work on your stats
* [[Evil Laugh]]:
* {{spoiler|[[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Forget Nozomi (163 cm) or even Mira (167 cm) and Patricia (168 cm), Rei is by far the tallest girl in the cast, with her 172 cm
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]:
* [[The Men in Black]]/[[Private Military Contractors]]: The Ijuin Family Army.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Normally kept in a ponytail
* {{spoiler|[[Rescue Romance]].}} ''Very'' bizarredly used. See the main page.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Subversion in that Rei likes to show off the Ijuin Family’s wealthiness and how the others are cockroaches compared to them, but never uses it for evil ends. In fact, he's the one who hosts the New Years Party.
* {{spoiler|[[Secret Character]]}}
* [[Suck My Rose]]
* {{spoiler|[[Tomato Surprise]]: Although a special event during the game lets you guess it, it’s during her ending that you discover Rei’s true gender
* {{spoiler|[[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]}}
Line 214:
She loves reading books so much, she’s able to read ''four of them per day'', her favourite author being Goethe. Like Shiori, she also loves classical music and love romance movies. Her ideal type of boy would be kind, intelligent and studious ones.
In ''Drama Series'' games and Radio Drama canon, she’s portrayed as Saki’s best friend, and in Radio Drama canon
Line 246:
A fun-loving girl from a rich family who’s on the lookout for the latest trend, and hates studies with a passion. She’s not above cheating at exams, is regularly [[Late for School]], and shrugs off any reprimands made by school principles. Likes games and lively places a lot, is a fan of karaoke, and a champ at dancing.
She knows and is a (resigned) friend of Yoshio since Middle School, and is best friends with Yukari Koshiki
----
Line 252:
* [[Book Dumb]]: She hates studying after all.
* [[The Fashionista]]
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Not as much as Yumi, but she’s a champion at ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]'',
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[In-Series Nickname]]:
* [[Late for School]]
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Her family is rich, but her parents are always working and don’t pay lots of attention to her.
Line 268:
Daughter of a rich businessman owner of the wealthy “Koshiki Real Estate” company. She was brought up as a lady, and thus speaks with very polite Japanese and has attitudes of such. She’s notable for having a veeeeeeery slow speech pattern, and for being a massive [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. Member of the Tennis Club, her ideal boy would be a sportsman. Her hobby is knitting, and she’s particulary good at it.
She’s best friends with [[Odd Friendship|her polar opposite]] Yuko; and since both of them are from filthy rich families, she’s also childhood friends with Rei.
----
Line 277:
* [[Nice Hat]]: Wears two of them, on Spring and Winter.
* [[Ojou]]
* [[Overprotective Dad]]: To the point that, in battle mode, her special attack, which invokes her father, who proceeds to slice the enemies with [[Katanas Are Just Better|his katana]], is arguably the most damaging in the game; also,
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Utterly averted. She’s one of the rare characters in the Classic Kirameki saga to have both her parents well-established in canon, she has a close relationship with both of them (and [[Daddy's Girl|she’s her]] [[Overprotective Dad|father’s treasure]]), and she’s basically the fruit and living proof of the legend of the Legendary Tree, see [[Happily Married]] above.
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: She wears one on the Christmas Party, and wears a Pimped Out Kimono on New Year’s Day.
Line 296:
----
* [[Bokukko]]
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]:
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]
* [[Innocent Flower Girl]]: What she'd like to be.
Line 303:
* [[Odd Friendship]]: She’s good friends with Ayako, who’s renowned for [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|her fear of water]]; this is often played with in the Classic Kirameki canon, and Nozomi often gives a reluctant Ayako swimming lessons, so she can overcome this fear.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: When she's in "enraptured" state, she becomes very shy when she bumps into you after school (she'll stutter, then run away; not to be mistaken for a "bomb" warning, where she's angry and scolding you before running away).
* [[Tears of Joy]]:
* [[Tomboy]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: She fears lightning
=== Mira Kagami ===
Line 311:
[[File:mira kagami.jpg|frame]]
Kirameki High’s resident [[Rich Bitch]] [[Alpha Bitch]], she’s known as “the Madone of Kirameki High”. Has a [[Fan Boy|fanclub dedicated to her]], who follows her everywhere she goes in the school. She judges by looks and will ignore boys who don’t meet her expectations: thus, the protagonist must have a very high Appearance stat to be able to court her. She’s very conscious of her beauty, and even plans to become a model once she graduates.
By this description, looks like we have a winner for a haughty [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders]] [[Brainless Beauty]]…
On top of that,
----
Line 321:
* [[Biting the Handkerchief]]: She does this when defeated in ''Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle Dama''.
* {{spoiler|[[Broken Bird]]}}
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: She’s the bustiest character in the entire series, starting the game with 90 cm (at 15!) and ending it, three years later, with 93 cm. This, and her looks, help her gain her massive fanclub as well as her reputation in the school for being the most attractive girl along with Shiori,
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: On your first encounter with her.
* {{spoiler|[[Defrosting Ice Queen]]}}
Line 329:
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: Mira is [[Gratuitous English]] for “Mirror”, and Kagami means “mirror” in Japanese.
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: A classic example.
* [[Parental Substitute]]:
* {{spoiler|[[Revenge of the Nerd]]: A little subversion, otherwise she fits this trope to a T: she’s not implied of being a nerd in her Junior High days, but she apparently wasn’t attractive enough for the boys who dumped her
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]
* [[You Must Be Cold]]:
Line 341:
Kirameki High’s resident [[Mad Scientist]]. A girl [[Ambition Is Evil|whose ambition]] is to [[Take Over the World]], and is conducing various electronics and computer experiments, including and especially the construction of an [[Humongous Mecha]], to achieve this end.
{{spoiler|In ''Tokimeki Memorial Substories: Dancing Summer Vacation'', she barges in the [[Dance Dance Revolution|DDR Tournament]] with her new [[Humongous Mecha]], the “Neo-World Conquerer Robo”, and her disciple Mei Ijuin of ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'' in tow
----
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: She names it “Robo”,
* [[Improbably High IQ]]: She has an I.Q. of 300.
* [[Kuudere]]: She eventually turns into this when she becomes fond enough of the protagonist.
Line 387:
One of the Soccer Club managers along with Saki Nijino. Appearing for the first time in ''Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series 1: Nijiiro no Seishun'', she’s the first main character of the Classic Kirameki saga girl characters who weren’t in the original game, to enter the series’ canon.
A 1st year-student [[Genki Girl]], [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|she’s totally head-over-heels for her senpai Saki]]. As such, she sees the main protagonist (who’s, in this game’s canon, a forward striker in the Soccer Club) as her rival for Saki’s heart, and will even give her the cold shoulder
----
* [[Character Development]]: Probably one of the characters benefitting of this the most in the Classic Kirameki Saga. She goes from a loud, possessive and somewhat agressive brat in ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', to a friendly, posed and mature girl (but still a [[Motor Mouth]]) ready to listen and help the others, which both Saki and the protagonist feel the Soccer Club will be in good hands with her at its lead after they'll graduate, by the end of ''Tabidachi no Uta''.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Full-stop.
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]: Becomes one when Saki graduates. Until then, she's [[The Lancer|her trusted assistant]].
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: The cross-shaped decs in her hair are a gift from Saki, and thus Minori treasures them.
* [[Graceful Loser]]:
* {{spoiler|[[Hot for Student]]: Averted, see the [[Second Love]] entry above
* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]]:
* [[Motor Mouth]]
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: In ''Nijiiro no Seishun'' canon, when talking about the Main Protagonist, she calls him "''Juu-roku ban no Senpai''" (= N°16-senpai), referring to his shirt's number in the Soccer Club. Serves as [[Playing with a Trope|a clever way of going around]] the [[Hello, Insert Name Here]] problem, as well as an indicator of her relationship towards the protagonist: the nickname has a derogative connotation at first, then after she came to like him, it becomes an affectionate nickname.
* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Unrequited. Saki thinks of Minori only as a nice [[Sempai-Kohai|kohai]].
* {{spoiler|[[Second Love]]: It doesn’t seem like it at first glance, but Saki really is her second love. She reveals during her discussions with the protagonist, that her first love was one of his teachers in Junior High, but he only thought of her as a cute student, and married one of her other teachers
=== Suzune Misaki ===
Line 407:
[[File:suzune misaki2.png|frame]]
[[Shrinking Violet|A shy girl]] who’s the keyboard member of the School’s Band Group “Irodori”, introduced for the first time in ''Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series 2: Irodori no Love Song''. A 1st year-student like Yumi and Minori, she’s in love with the main protagonist (who’s, in this game’s canon, the band’s guitarist), but [[Cannot Spit It Out|has a hard time spitting it out.]]
----
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]:
* [[Graceful Loser]]:
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]:
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: She’s not a childhood friend of the protagonist, but she’s still on the lose side of the [[Love Triangle]], and this from the start.
Line 425:
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: For all the girls who fawn over him, he has eyes only for a single one: Suzune. Who herself has an unrequited love for the protagonist, who himself loves Ayako...
* [[Chick Magnet]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]:
=== Kouji Tamura ===
Line 441:
[[File:coach.png|frame]]
Kirameki’s Soccer Club coach. A [[Stern Teacher]] who was a former pro-soccer player, but had to put an end to his career due to an injury, and switched to coach for High School Soccer Clubs. It’s his decision to not make the protagonist a regular at the forward striker post and give it to 1st year Sawatari which sets in motion the events of ''Nijiiro no Seishun''.Values hard work over everything else,
----
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: He gives such a speech (minus any physical violence) to the protagonist
* [[Stern Teacher]]
Line 521:
----
* [[Arch Enemy]]:
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[For Great Justice]]
Line 551:
----
* [[The Cameo]]:
* [[Canon Immigrant]]:
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: The crystal pendant he got from his parents and wears at his neck.
* [[Not a Morning Person]]: Natsue has to regulary come to his house and take him out of bed so he doesn't arrive late at school. Subverted due to part of the reason being his [[Heroic BSOD]],

=== Megumi Juuichiya ===
Line 578:
----
* [[Cute and Psycho]]:
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Her sideways red hair ribbon.
Line 588:
[[File:jun 5799.png|frame]]
Katsuma’s best friend. Is a playboy who’s ''very'' popular with the girls. Saying this, he wouldn’t look like this, but he’s actually a nice guy who’s very reliable. He's oblivious of Megumi Juuichiya's love for him and only considers her as a cute little sister. He becomes quite close of Shiori, and
Line 596:
