{{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.

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.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Tomoya include:}}
* [[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.
