* [[Bob Haircut]]

* [[Bodyguard Babes|Bodyguard Babe]]: She's like this towards Ayumi when she sees some [[Casanova Wannabe|Casanova Wannabes]] try to flirt her. She almost breaks one of those guys' arms off. Here's a quote from the same guy:

=== Nagisa Saito ===

⚫

{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Azusa Kataoka (Japanese) and [[Cristina Valenzuela]] (English)}}

⚫

A surfer and part-time worker for Lemon Beach House, and perhaps the only person who sees Ika as a genuine threat to humanity.

⚫

* [[Berserk Button]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shinryaku_ika_musume/v07/c117/4.html Don't take surfing lightly. Even if you're Ika Musume.]

⚫

* [[Bifauxnen]]: Just sweeping her hair back is enough to make her look like a [[Bishounen]].

⚫

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: She became a background character from Season 2 Episode 2 through to Episode 11, to the point of not appearing in a few episodes. Poor girl.

⚫

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Enough to make most, if not all, of the girls squee for her in Season 2, Episode 2.2.

⚫

* [[Only Sane Man]]

⚫

* [[Surfer Dude|Surfer Babe]]: And she [[Serious Business|takes it seriously]].

⚫

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have to be Ika Musume?!]]

⚫

=== Ayumi Tokita ===

⚫

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Ayako Kawasumi]] (Japanese) and Sarah Williams (English)}}

⚫

Daughter of the manager of Southern Winds, Lemon Beach House's rival restaurant from a neighboring town. She sometimes works part-time at the Lemon Beach House.

⚫

* [[Antenna Hair]]

⚫

* [[Beautiful All Along]]: Without those creepy "Fake Ika Musume" ''kigurumi'' masks her father has her wear.

⚫

* {{spoiler|[[Beware the Nice Ones]]: After episode 10.2, you better show some manners while talking to her, as her father finds out after ''she throws him down.'' Though that one is an accident.}}

⚫

** {{spoiler|She learns self-defense from ''Chizuru''. Yes, ''that'' '''''[[Mentor Archetype|CHIZURU!]]'''''}}

⚫

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Her father tells Eiko, Chizuru, and Ika that ever since she started working with them, her sociability has been improved. [[Does Not Like Men|She's still afraid of men though.]]

⚫

* [[Dude Magnet]]

⚫

* [[The Faceless]]: Not exactly with her appearance (she's even actually quite the looker), but she's this personality-wise; as her father told Eiko, she cannot actively interact with people outside her masks.

⚫

* [[Fridge Horror]]: Her father tried to trade her to the Lemon Beach House in exchange for the original Ika Musume. Behavior like this is probably why she's so insecure to begin with.

⚫

* [[Les Yay]]: Implied with her bashfulness around Eiko.

⚫

* [[Meido]]: In Chapter 162 (Season 2, Episode 2.2 in the anime), she is this while working at the store and while wearing ''bladed brass knuckles!'' Needless to say, male customers are petrified at the unusual sight.

⚫

* [[Not Good with People]]: Chapter 210 reveals she can speak normally with Ika, because ''she doesn't consider her human''.
