Line 34:
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by both characters include:}}
* [[Holding Hands]]: Suzume and Souta briefly hold hands in the climax, leading them to {{spoiler|hold Keystones to trap the worm}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
** Suzume (鈴芽): "芽" means bud, or sprout, symbolising Suzume's budding potential as a closer.
** Souta (草太): "太" means "big"（e.g. 太平洋 = "Pacific ocean", lit. "big flat vast"). This symbolises Souta's status as the more experienced, "bigger brother" closer, also literally represents how Souta is older than Suzume.
* [[Opposite Gender Protagonists]]: Suzume, a high school girl, and Souta, a collegegoing young man who's part of a lineage of Closers, travel across Japan closing doors before the worm can escape fully and cause disasters. The two are separated for the majority of the film due to Souta's being polymorphed, only reuniting in the end. Suzume ''more'' than earns her role in Opposite Gender Protagonists by {{spoiler|relentlessly pursuing Souta after he turns into a Keystone}}.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]:
** Suzume was raised by her single mother who went missing due to the 2011 tsunami.
** Souta was [[Raised by Grandparents]]; what happened to his parents is never revealed.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Suzume include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Suzume is ''not'' one to shy away from action. If there is a worm escaping from any door, she will get to it, and the door will be closed. Plus, she's more than determined to venture into the fact of action for Souta.
Line 69 ⟶ 84:
Voiced by: Hokuto Matsumura (JP), Josh Keaton (EN)
A man from a long line of Closers tasked with closing doors. His name is also spelt Sōta Munakata. The characters "草太" literally translates to "grass big".
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Souta include:}}
* [[Badass in Distress]]: Souta is pretty badass when he's closing the first door. After that, since he's trapped in a chair {{spoiler|and later Keystone}} he needs Suzume's help.
Line 98 ⟶ 113:
A man studying alongside Souta to become a teacher.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Tomoya include:}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Your Name|Taki Tachibana's]] Japanese voice actor appears in his third Shinkai-directed work, albeit as a new character.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: He looks like a rebel high school teen who ignores every instruction that comes his way, but no. He's actually a pretty relaxed person studying to become a teacher.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "朋" means "friend", as Serizawa is very friendly towards Suzume.

Line 121 ⟶ 138:
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Daijin is pretty cute, with big, exaggerated eyes. He is, however, far more devious than his cute looks would suggest.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Daijin demonstrates this when it appears in darkness.
* [[Glamour]]: It's implied to have one, as when it appears at Ruri's bar, everyone there who isn't Suzume seems to treat it like another human customer rather than a cat.
* [[Jerkass Gods]]: Daijin
