Line 23:
* [[Nice Guy]]: He's the kind of guy who will always selflessly help the others, without taking care of his own feelings. This is what gets him all the girls to fall in love with him in the ''Substories'' and Drama CD storylines, and [[Love Hurts|conversly hurt them a lot]], as this trait is combined with...
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: He is absolutely ''horrible'' in that aspect, even worse than Naoto of the first game. His obliviousness is mercilessly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by every single character in the saga at one point or the other; you know it's ''that'' bad when even the owner of the restaurant Akane works part-time at, ''a minor character [[The Faceless|whose face is hidden]] just like the protagonist'', lampshades it as well.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: ''Very'' likely to become [[Heroes Want Redheads|Hikari]]'s, unlike Naoto with Shiori. He can also become this to other characters depending on if he met them in his childhood days, and scores them in the end. Among those characters are {{spoiler|Akane, Homura, Mei, Miho, and Miyuki}}.
** [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Likely to happen with Kasumi if you don't play well enough, as her standards are very high.
 
Line 35:
----
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* {{spoiler|[[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: Her Happy Ending, as she feels she and the protagonist will be separated from each other like when they were young after Graduation, and she doesn't want to live that ever again.}}.
* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: {{spoiler|inIn the [[Snowed In]] Event told below, the protagonist, seeing Hikari tired, tells her to sleep, while he stays awake and waits for the train back to service announcement, promising her to wake her up at the announcement. As she sleeps on his shoulder, the protagonist will remember he forgot to give her his Christmas present, and if you chose to give her glass earrings (her favourite item), [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|in order to let her rest and to give her a surprise]], he'll put them on her all while she sleeps.}}.
* [[Beauty Mark]]
* [[Coy Girlish Flirt Pose]]: Her standard pose, when she's in Tokimeki Status.
Line 43:
* [[Genki Girl]]: If her hobbies and overall personnality didn't get you the hint on this, remember that the flower associated with her in numerous official artworks is [[Sunny Sunflower Disposition|the Sunflower]].
* [[Girl Next Door]]: She and the main protagonist live in the houses right next to each other, which is especially obvious during the Childhood Event.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: theThe whole point of her Childhood Mode event “Jealousy~”.
** Some gamers have reported that because she tends to reach "tokimeki" state so easily, she makes it difficult for the player to go after other girls (i.e. she bombs the player on a dime).
* [[Holding Hands]]: One of her special events. She and the protagonist are on a date at a shopping mall; she gets lost, then gets found by the protagonist, who proceeds to hold her hand the rest of the date to make sure she doesn't get lost again. A similar event in the Childhood Event must occur for this to happen.
* [[Idiot Hair]]
* [[Image Song]]: Too many of them to name them all: Hikari, as the game's heroine, got the most of those among all characters. Her main Image Song, though, is "Egao no Kesshin" (="Determined to Smile").
* [[Important Haircut]]: She cut her hair just before the start of the main game thinking she'd never see her childhood friend again {{spoiler|though she [[Expository Hairstyle Change|grows it long again]] in her ending of ''Memories Ringing On''}}.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: She’s just as bad as Kotoko on this matter, {{spoiler|and it’ll land you a bad ending if you decide to chase after Hikari instead of Kotoko, in Kotoko’s ending wher both of them are in love with the protagonist}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her name litterally means "[[Genki Girl|the light under the sun]]" in Japanese.
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[Sand in My Eyes]]: Uses this excuse in her ''Memories Ringing On'' route to cover her [[Tears of Joy|tears of relief]], {{spoiler|after the protagonist clears the misunderstanding caused by the [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment between him and Kotoko (Homura was running in the hallway and bumped into him while he was discussing with Kotoko, causing him to fall over Kotoko)}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Snowed In]]: Happens in one of her last major events before her love confession, during a date at the ski slopes in the winter season. A sudden blizzard occurs, stopping the train service between the mountain and Hibikino City, and forcing Hikari and the protagonist to take shelter in the ski resort's train station and wait until the lines work again for a whole night.}}.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Her [[Limit Break]]. It activates when the enemy uses a [[Limit Break]] of his own: she'll jump between it and the protagonist to take it. This knocks her out of battle, but she'll tell him she's glad he's safe. Seeing this, the protagonist shouts "[[This Is Unforgivable!]]!", and enters in an [[Unstoppable Rage]] that dramatically ups his Attack Power.
* {{spoiler|[[Trying Not to Cry]]: Played utterly straight in her Ending, as part of her [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|The scene is emotionally powerful]] thanks to Junko Noda's superb performance, and that you can see Hikari's eyes progressively welling up with tears as she speaks.}}.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: ''Very'' likely to become one in the main game, and {{spoiler|[[Official Couple|becomes one]]}} in both the Drama CDs and [[Novelization|the novel]] ''Kimi no Ushiro Sugata''.
* [[With This Ring]]: The toy ring the protagonist bought her in their childhood days; [[Memento MacGuffin|she cherishes it so much]], it's an integral part of her storyline. See the trope's page for more details.
 
Line 68:
 
----
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: She loves to delivers these to the protagonist [[The Matchmaker|every time she feels]] [[Matchmaker Crush|he neglected her best friend Hikari]]. {{spoiler|It culminates to [[Slap Slap Kiss]] territory (although the slap slap is delivered by her alone, and she hugs you instead of kissing), complete with [[Baka]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|callings]], in her Ending where both her and Hikari are in love with the protagonist, and you ultimately choose Kotoko.}}.
** She even go as far as slapping {{spoiler|her own teacher, Kasumi}}, in ''Memories Ringing On'', although for a radically different reason: {{spoiler|[[Wrongly Accused|she was suspected of having punctured one of the tyres of Kasumi's car, with whom she was in bad terms, out of spite, when in fact it was Bakuretsuzan and Homura who accidentally did it by playing with Pachinko balls nearby]]}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Anything foreign related, but especially curry. Also, hurting Hikari's feelings.
* [[Culture Clash]]: She is averse to anything foreign, to the point that the smell of curry makes her sneeze. Too much exposure from curry and coffee smell even make her ''faint''.
* {{spoiler|[[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: During one of her story paths in ''Memories Ringing On'', she shows the protagonist a picture of her and Hikari from middleschool where she had short hair while Hikari had [[Rapunzel Hair|long hair]]. Quite interesting that their hair lengths are switched in the present.}}.
* [[Image Song]]: Seven of them, plus a duet one with Hikari. Her main song is "Suki to Ienakute" (= "[[Cannot Spit It Out|Unable To Say 'I love You']]").
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Woo boy, she’s the poster girl for this trope in the whole series!
* [[The Matchmaker]]: She actively wants her best friend Hikari to hook with the protagonist, but…
* [[Matchmaker Crush]]: … if…if the protagonist successfully pursues Kotoko, it’ll fall into this trope, despite how much Kotoko resists this.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: [[Japanese Romanization|Nihon-shiki "Minaduki" vs. Hepburn "Minazuki"]]; official guidebooks and merchandise systematically use "Minaduki", but the name's pronunciation is "Minazuki".
** Possibly a case of [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Given Kotoko's personality, she would have supported ''wholeheartedly'' the "Minaduki" romanization, as the Nihon-Shiki system was created by Japanese, for Japanese, as an answer to the western Hepburn system.
Line 91:
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Hot for Student]]
* [[Image Song]]: 8 of them, the main one being "Arashi Ga Hajimaru Toki" (= "The Moment The Storm Begins").
* [[May–December Romance]]
* [[Not a Morning Person]]: She has an unusual habit of falling asleep - in her own homeroom class!
Line 121:
----
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Reaching 90 cm in 3rd year, she has the fifth (ex aequo with ''Tokimeki Memorial 3'''s Emi Tachibana) biggest cup size in the series , behind {{spoiler|fellow model}} Mira, as well as Akane, Patricia and Mari. Her breast size is one of the few ways to see who is Miho and who is Maho in their [[Twin Switch]] game (Maho has the biggest cup size), and she makes good use of them in two special Events, wearing a bold bikini at the beach and a sexy [[Fortune Teller]] outfit at the School Festival to please the protagonist, and this works so well [[Crowning Moment of Funny|it also attracts all male attention around her in the process]]. Plus, {{spoiler|she becomes a model after graduating}}.
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: At the end of the third year, if Maho likes you enough, she will start to dress in her own fashion style and change her hairstyle to reflect it, making the secret between the twins all the more obvious to everyone but the in-game player himself.
* [[Girl with Psycho Weapon]]: Should anyone, including the protagonist, stumble upon the twins' game of [[Twin Switch|switcheroo]], she'll mercilessly beat the hell out of the poor slob to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] with a golf club, as demonstrated in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''.
Line 151:
* [[I'm Okay|I'm Okay!]]: "Daijoubi[[, daijoubi]]!"
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: Even the most disasterous situations seem to do no more injury to her than to leave her dazed and her hair frazzled, such as during the protagonist's first encounter with her {{spoiler|when she gets run over by a truck! And this will happen two more times before he can get his first date with her!}}!
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With her cheerful and genuine personnality, she has a knack at creating those. She's best friends with the calm and gentle Miho, becomes friends with the [[Broken Bird|emotionally closed-to-others]] Kaori in ''Dancing Summer Vacation'', and even more surprisingly, forms a deep friendship with {{spoiler|Kotoko}} of all people in the Drama CDs, to the point she lets Miyuki get away with calling her {{spoiler|Mina-pon}}!
* [[Sleep Cute]]: One of her Events, with [[Lap Pillow]] variety to boot.
* [[Third Person Person]]
Line 172:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[Identical Grandson|Identical Granddaughter]]: In ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Leaping School Festival'', we get to discover that she's the spitting image of her grandmother. {{spoiler|It also explains why Headmaster Bakuretsuzan is so friendly with Homura, as he was in love with her grandmother and Homura reminds him of her, AND had a friendly rivalry over her with her grandfather, who also was (and still is, which says a lot of how a [[Nice Guy]] he is!) his best friend}}.
* [[Image Song]]: 5 of them. She's also the character with the most duet songs (ex-aequo with Akane), having one with Akane, another one with Akane and Mei, and another one with Akane and Miyuki. Her main Image Song, "Yuke! Akai Homura!" (= "Go! Homura Akai!") is also her [[Bragging Theme Tune]].
* [[Kick Chick]]
Line 179:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Red Armband of Leadership]]
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: {{spoiler|In her Christmas special Event.}}.
* [[Student Council President]]: She's made one by the school headmaster against her will, supposedly to make her a better student.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Her [[Weapon of Choice]], coming from her favourite Mecha anime, [[Show Within a Show|Go-Driller]].
* [[Tomboy]]: She rarely wears girl's clothes. Also, {{spoiler|during her Childhood Event, she's mistaken for a boy by the protagonist}}.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Her [[Bragging Theme Tune]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avycjPEe-hE Music Video Clip] in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Music Video Clips: Circus de Aimashou''.
 
Line 202:
* [[Got the Whole World In My Hand]]: Does a variant of this in her Music Video Clip of the PS2 game ''Circus de Aimashou'': in a sequence, the Earth is floating in front of her outstretched arms.
* [[Image Song]]: 8 of them, as well as two duet ones, one with Akane and Homura, and one with Kasumi. Strangely, one of her two main songs (the other being "Super Special Day") and adaptation of her [[Leitmotif]] in the game, "The Most Electric Girl in the World", never got neither a full version, nor a proper CD release, being only available in ''Circus de Aimashou'', as Mei's short Music Video Clip. Also of note, is the fact that all of her songs' name are written in English, save for "Black Dahlia" (written in katakana) and "Rakuen".
* [[King Incognito|Lady Incognito]]: She liked to do this in her childhood, {{spoiler|and this is how she meets the protagonist in the Childhood part of the game}}.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: See Sakunoshin's [[Supreme Chef]] entry below for more details.
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: In her childhood.
** More specifically, {{spoiler|during her childhood years, the protagonist was one of the only kids whom she got to play with, and only once. He promised to meet her again, not knowing that his family was moving out of town the very next day and he wouldn't have time to say goodbye. This is presented as the reason for her contempt towards "untrustworthy" common people.}}.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Her ''whole face'' becomes red when in [[Tsundere]] mode.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: She’s [[Take Over the World|Yuina]]’s disciple for crying out loud!
Line 221:
[[File:kaedeko sakura.jpg|frame]]
 
Manager of the Baseball Club. {{spoiler|Partway during the game, she transfers to Hokkaido.}}. She's also conscious about her figure, thinking she's very chubby.
 
----
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Her feelings of love for the protagonist in general (until her [[Happy Ending]] that is), and more specifically, {{spoiler|during her mandatory event at the 2nd Year's Fireworks Festival, that she would move away with her family the next day}}.
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: One of the two possible ways of meeting her is this.
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]: {{spoiler|of both Hibikino, and later Daimon High's Base-Ball Clubs.}}.
* [[Dojikko]]: To the point it's the crux of her [[Limit Break]].
* {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending]]}}: Particulary in ''Memories Ringing On'', as {{spoiler|Kaedeko's father is firmly opposed to the idea that Kaedeko goes at Hibikino University after her High School time at Daimon High is over, thus needing her to take a lodging at Hibikino and live alone. It'll take much convincing from Kaedeko and one of her relatives, and much patience and determination from the protagonist to make him relent}}.
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: She always wears a hairband.
* [[Holding Hands]]: {{spoiler|In the last shot of her Ending}}.
* [[Image Song]]: Seven of them, plus a trio one with Kaori and Miho. Of those, the two main ones are "Keep on keeping on" and "Twilight Express".
* [[Informed Ability]]: She's touted as what can be considered as Kaori's closest friend, yet they have about zero interaction in the games. Averted, however, in the [[Novelization|novel]] ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', where they have a ''real'' close friendship that plays a ''vital'' role in getting Kaori better. {{spoiler|Kaedeko even goes as far as taking a 3-hours train trip immediately after she called Kaori, who was at the time horribly depressed due to a misunderstanding with her love interest Shunta and thus didn't want to talk with her, so she can confort and help Kaori.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[I Will Wait for You]]: The choice you have to pick in the last set of choices, to get her Ending in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Memories Ringing On''}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Long-Distance Relationship]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Lost Forever]]: If you fail to put Kaedeko in Tokimeki Status by the time she moves away, you won't get her ending, no matter how many phone calls you'll give her afterwards.}}.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Tears of Joy]]: In several Events, and most notably {{spoiler|in her Ending}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Train Station Goodbye]]: Her ending in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Memories Ringing On'', but it's actually a subversion: after the Events in the game, she manages to convince her father to let do her studies at Hibikino University instead of Hokkaido (so she can be near the protagonist she loves). The Ending shows her going to visit and take possesion of her future lodging, but she has forgot its keys back at her home in Hokkaido, so she needs to take the train and back to pick them up.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Transfer Student Uniforms]]}}
 
Line 256:
* [[Cherry Blossom Girl]]: She's not named Sakura per se, but part of her name has its Kanji, and she's heavily cherry flowers-themed. See the trope page for more details.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: The name of the second variation of her Image BGM (which activates [[Near-Victory Fanfare|after she recovers from her]] [[Heroic BSOD]]) drives this trope's point home: "Waiting impatiently for Spring '2nd Movement' [[Meaningful Name|[[The Thaw's Flow]]]]".
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: Averted, per virtue of [[What Could Have Been]]. According to one of the [[All There in the Manual|Hibikino Watcher magazines]], during the game's development, [[Word of God|the creators]] pondered about the idea she would kill herself out of depression during the course of the game, but they ultimately scrapped this idea, believing that was going too far for a ''[[Tastes Like Diabetes|Tokimeki Memorial]]'' [[Tastes Like Diabetes|game]], and instead went with the more neutral and open [[Lost Forever|"dropped Hibikino High and course unknown"]] route.}}.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]]
* [[Expy]]: It's maybe stretching it, but she shares ''a lot'' of similarities with Raizze Haimer of ''Tokimemo 1'' 's [[Spiritual Successor]] ''[[Mitsumete Knight]]'' (released 2 years before ''Tokimemo 2''): both are silent, coldish and soft-spoken girls who avoid contact with others, and thus [[Defrosting Ice Queen|need to be defrosted]] in order for them to fall in love with you; both have very low Love Growth rates and thus are [[Nintendo Hard]] characters; and both can be {{spoiler|[[Lost Forever]] in a terribly [[Tear Jerker]] way if they're not enough in love with you}}. Add to that that both of them are the absolute [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] of their respective games...
* [[Fan Service with a Smile]]: If the Event where Kaori overcomes her wounds has occured, if she's in Tokimeki Status with the protagonist, and {{spoiler|if you choose to do a Café Shop for the 3rd Year School Festival, she'll wear [[Meido|a maid outfit]] while serving as the Café's waitress}}. This Event is another proof that [[He's Back|She's Back]], [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|as she's smiling happily and is visibly having a fun time doing this]].
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Except of dogs. She ''hates'' dogs. Actually, her favourite animals are [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|cats]] and fishes.
* [[Genki Girl]]: As part of the [[He's Back|She's Back]] trope, during the third year, when her backstory has been revealed and she decides to join the Volley-Ball Club, she literally embodies this trope. She is one of the few girls that you will constantly meet in the third year once they are in love with you (possibly as a way to make up for the lack of Kaori in the first two years). Incidentally on another note, her [[Leitmotif]] theme tune also changes from the somber, quiet tune to a more peppy, cheerful tune in the third year.
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Heroic BSOD]]
Line 269:
* [[Leave Me Alone]]: "Watashi no koto o kamawanaide" (="Don't mind about me") is pretty much her [[Catch Phrase]] during her [[Heroic BSOD]] period.
* [[Official Couple]]: In the [[Novelization|novel]] ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', with main protagonist Shunta Torigoe.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: Her appearance near the very end of the game, when wearing her special Winter street clothes, exudes of this feeling. {{spoiler|[[Justified Trope|Justified]] since she's actually one year older than the protagonist, and has matured after recovering from her [[Heroic BSOD]]}}. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the protagonist on New Year's day of 3rd Year.
* [[The Power of Trust]]: '''The''' defining trope of Kaori's storyline.
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]
* [[He's Back|She's Back]]: Pulls this after the mandatory Event to get her Ending, where, thanks to [[The Power of Love]], she finds the courage to overcome her wounds, and decides to enter the Volley-Ball Club again. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by one of the Official Guidebooks about this Event: "''The original Yae-san has come back''".
* [[Sitting on the Roof]]: The school roof is Kaori's favourite place in Hibikino High's campus, as people rarely go there, so she can find the solitude she wishes for and can relax there. It's the place where the Main Protagonist will meet her for the first time, and {{spoiler|as a [[Book Ends]], where she'll give him her [[Love Confession]] at the end of the game if they become sweethearts.}}.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Not of Saki's level, but still a good cook.
* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Heat]]}} / {{spoiler|[[Et Tu, Brute?]]}}: The tropes which started Kaori's [[Backstory]]. {{spoiler|When she was in her former school, she was a cheerful member of the Volley-Ball club, and she was great friends with the other members; but one day, one of them committed a burglary in the Club, stealing the club's cash budget. Everyone knew who was the culprit, but if he was to be exposed, the Club would then suffer grave consequences. In order to save the Club, Kaori took the heat by posing as the culprit, thinking that even if she was to be temporary expelled, even if she would be looked down by teachers and classmates, she wouldn't lose her position at the Club once she would come back and her friends at the club would understand her and be grateful towards her. Unfortunately, her "friends" instead betrayed her by cowardly abandoning and ostracizing her afterwards, explaining how she became a [[Broken Bird]], why she transferred to Hibikino High, and why she's repeating a class.}}.
* [[Talking the Monster to Death]]: The concept of her [[Limit Break]]. Her words make the enemy reflect on himself and take heavy damage as [[My God, What Have I Done?|they realize they're doing a bad action]].
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: The [[Novelization]] of Kaori's storyline, ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', gives a [[Parental Abandonment]] explanation to the otherwise [[Fridge Logic]] pondering as to why they haven't took her visibly deeply depressed daughter to a psychatrist already : her father is assigned to an overseas post, and her mother is an editor at a magazine who's so busy with her work, she doesn't come back to house until late night (and even often sleeps at the publishing company), as well as sometimes going on data-gathering trips for several days, leaving Kaori on her own with only her cell phone number in case of emergency.
* [[Trauma Swing]]: One of her key Events in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''.
* [[When She Smiles]]
* [[You Must Be Cold]]: {{spoiler|In her 3rd year Christmas Event. She even [[Invoked Trope|invokes]] the coat-sharing trope in the dialogue}}.
 
== Akane Ichimonji ==
Line 292:
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Reaching 92 cm in 3rd year, she has the biggest bust size amongst the Hibikino Saga characters; and she's definitely the strongest female in the game, see [[Megaton Punch]] as well as [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|Does Not Know Her Own Strength]].
* [[Death Glare]]: You DO NOT WANT to mess with Akane when she does it. '''[[Badass|ABSOLUT]][[Nightmare Fuel|ELY NOT]]'''. Homura, her best friend, knows it better, and actually advises her [[Arch Enemy]] Mei that ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|they stop quarrelling]]'', at the beginning of ''Leaping School Festival''.
* [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Funny|as the protagonist discovers]] in her Happy Ending, when she hugs him.}}.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]
* [[Make a Wish]]: In ''Leaping School Festival'', she makes one under a shooting star, in an Event of her storyline.
Line 299:
* [[Plank Gag]]: In ''Leaping School Festival'', she accidentally inflicts it on the protagonist in one Event of her storyline.
* [[Playing House]]: One of Akane's Childhood Events.
* [[Qipao]]: {{spoiler|In her 3rd year Christmas Event, one of those attracts her eye. The protagonist, noticing this, promptly encourages her to try it on, and seeing how it pleases her, he buys it as her Christmas present from him. She tries to protest at first due to the cost, but he convinces her by saying he was saving money for this moment and purpose.}}.
* [[Shy Finger-Twiddling]]: Her standard pose when she's in Tokimeki Status.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Per virtue of her job at her restaurant.
Line 310:
 
----
* {{spoiler|[[Japanese Delinquents]]: She's one of the thugs (in a disguise) the protagonist will have to fight against, the "[[Meaningful Name|Baito Banchou]]"; fortunately she gives up during the fight, as she has to go for a part-time job.}}.
* [[Secret Character]]
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]
Line 353:
 
----
* {{spoiler|[[Attractive Bent Gender]] / [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: During one event in the game involving a school play, the lead actress ends up sick, and he somehow stands in for her and does the job well!}}!
** {{spoiler|Also happens during a bonus ending, when he, dressed in a girl's uniform, confesses his feelings to the protagonist, who to his horror, answers! Turns out it was just a nightmare. This event is of course a [[Shout-Out]] to Rei's secret from Tokimemo 1.}}.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
* [[Cross Dressing Voice]]
Line 396:
[[File:fhk sou 6393.png|frame]]
 
The boss of the delinquents. He will challenge you if the player beats all of his subordinates. {{spoiler|If, however, you are trying to win with Akane then you will have to face him as he is revealed to be her brother.}}.
 
----
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Compared to his appearance in the first game, Sou-Banchou, plays a far bigger role in the second game and is involved {{spoiler|in Akane's storyline}}. He even has a character profile and a lot of dialogue which he did not have at all in the first game.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: He is actually the same Banchou that the player could fight in the first game.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him Sou-Bancho]]: His actual name is {{spoiler|Kaoru Ichimonji (the brother of Akane)}}, but everyone addresses him by his title.
* [[The Four Gods]]: Among the Four Heaven Kings, he's Seiryû. The back of his [[Badass Longcoat]] is decorated with a dragon.
* [[Japanese Delinquents]]
* [[Jerkass]]
* {{spoiler|[[Knight Templar Big Brother]]: To Akane.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Megaton Punch]]: He is often on the receiving end of his younger sister Akane's punch for interfering in her private life.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[My Sister Is Off-Limits]]: He is very protective of his younger sister Akane.}}.
** {{spoiler|This is explained after the player goes through the "[[Playing House]]" event with Akane in Childhood mode. Turns out Akane became broken hearted after the protagonist moved away, and since then her brother swore to punish any boy who hurts her.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Bound and Gagged|Put In A Sack And Gagged]]: In the [[Funny Background Event]] of the last shot of Akane's Happy Ending.}}.
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The "Four Heaven Kings", of which he's the leader.
* {{spoiler|[[Relationship Sabotage]]: He constantly tries to do this between Akane and the protagonist, but fails each time.}}.
 
== Kinniku-Banchou ==
Line 469:
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: This [[Nigh Invulnerable]] opponent can't be defeated, and you won't receive any damage either; the only way to win is to wait until Baito-Banchou suddenly interrupts the fight to go to a part-time job.
* [[Japanese Delinquents]]
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Or not. The game never officially reveals Baito-Banchou's identity, but seeing her hair color and hair-do, her voice actor, and the part-time job thing, it's ''heavily'' implied she's Maeka Kudanshita in disguise.}}.
* [[The Sixth Ranger]]: The only one of the Four Heaven Kings not to have a [[The Four Gods|Four Gods]] theme.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: As pointed by the [[Meaningful Name]]: "Baito" means "Part-time job" in Japanese.

In ''Memories Ringing On'', it's mentioned that after his High School time, {{spoiler|he's tackling on the challenge of entering the Major League and become a professional player}}.

She also happens to be Takumi Sakaki's childhood friend, to the surprise of Jun Hokari and the protagonist, who then speculate whether or not she is also Takumi's [[Love Interest]].

* [[The Power of Trust]]: Invokes this in the infamous moment where, to prove Kaori his sincerity towards her after a messy misunderstanding between them, {{spoiler|he climbs on one of the rooftop's outdoors units and tells Kaori he will let himself fall off the building after a count of three, and that he places all his trust that she would take his hand and take him back to the rooftop before. And he was dead serious, as he had begun to let himself fall after the count, only to be [[Just in Time|barely caught]] by Kaori}}. As [[Narm|over-the-top, forced]], [[Dude, Not Funny|and poor in taste]] this is (both Sayo and [[Student Council President|Homura]] make sure [[What the Hell, Hero?|to chew him a new one after that]]), it tremendously works on Kaori.

* [[Believing Their Own Lies]]: {{spoiler|Upon inadvertently learning what happened at Kaori's former school via two students of that school who visited Hibikino's School Festival and recognized Kaori, she decided to tell this to Shunta. She desperately claims to herself she does this to protect him from emotional harm and because Kaori is not worthy of him with that scandal, but deep down, she's devoured by the [[Green-Eyed Monster]], unable to stand seeing herself becoming the [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]].}}.
* [[Class Representative]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: {{spoiler|She comes to sincerly regret her borderline-[[Moral Event Horizon]] moment where, after informing Shunta of the bad rumors about Kaori's past (who dismiss them and tells Sayo he trusts Kaori), she then meets Kaori and lies to her, by saying that Shunta told her she was disappointed of Kaori; to the point she feels dirty. She largely makes it up by mustering the courage to talk to Shunta and Kaori, going [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] to the former and [[Graceful Loser]] to the latter.}}.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: The members of the female volley-ball team are ''big'' Sayo/Shunta fans at first, believing they're like [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|an loving old couple with their bickering]]. They later realize how close Shunta and Kaori are, and accept it.
* [[Tsundere]]: A Type-B one, who only goes tsun towards Shunta.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Pretty much a [[Foregone Conclusion]] with the [[How We Got Here]]-type Prologue of the novel.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: She justly [[Armor-Piercing Slap|Armor Piercing Slaps]] and chews out a new one on Shunta after his {{spoiler|dangerous rooftop stunt}}:
