Line 7:
=== Tenchi Masaki {{spoiler|Jurai}} ===
The main hero of the franchise, who is always presented as an ordinary high school student that ends up surrounded by women lusting after him as he struggles through various hijinks, and doesn't usually have much personality beyond that apart from being a nice guy, being the reason as to why he's such a [[Chick Magnet]].
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Brainwashed]]: Happens to him in an episode of ''Tenchi in Tokyo''
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He has his moments, and when he does his wit has some of the sharpest barbs in the series.
* [[Facial Markings]]: In his
* [[Flat Character]]: In most continuities, Tenchi just seems to exist as a [[Characters As Device|plot device]] to keep the girls together and [[Deus Ex Machina|beat the enemy with awesome power.]] It's not really his fault as we rarely get to see things from his perspective because once the female characters show up their competition for him pretty much takes over the spotlight until it's time for him to come in and save the day. Other than those moments he is a [[Butt Monkey]] who is [[Genre Savvy]] [[Medium Awareness|about being a]] [[Flat Character]], "Tenchi Muyo!" roughly means "No Need For Tenchi!" much to his chagrin. This is a bit more mitigated in ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]'' where he has a bit more of a personality, as well as ''[[Tenchi Universe]]''.
* [[Harem Hero]]
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: In ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]'', where he moves away from his [[Unwanted Harem]] so he can have a peaceful life away from them. Naturally, this doesn't help, and not just because of them stalking him.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
=== Ryoko ===
An aggressive [[Space Pirate]] ([[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|who often doesn't do much of anything pirate related]]) and flirt that is usually the first girl Tenchi meets. Is by for the most flirtatious of the girls and most the most hotheaded.
Is the most popular girl
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Largely in the 'Universe' and 'Tokyo' series.
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
* [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male]]: Exaggeration, but her constant clinging to Tenchi often borders on sexual harassment.
** In the ''Mihoshi Special'' (a Tall Tale story Mihoshi told based on one of her cases, with the Tenchi-crew filling the closest roles of the participants), "Ryoko" ties Tenchi to her bed, proceeds to undress him, and was [[Attempted Rape|about to rape him]], but she was stopped by Pretty Sammy. This is ''somewhat'' averted though, although her sexual advances are [[Played for Laughs]] most of the other characters are ''not'' okay with them.
* [[Reality Warper]]{{context}}
* [[Sensual Spandex]]
* [[Space Pirate]]
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: In Tenchi In Tokyo.
* [[Technopath]]
* [[Troll]]: She ''so'' loves riling up Ayeka and messing with Tenchi's head.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: She became one with Zero, and could freely manipulate her body in extremely advanced fashions even before this, including duplication, phasing, regeneration, merging with inanimate matter, and so
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Cyan Hair]]
=== Ayeka Masaki Jurai ===
Princess of
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Barrier Warrior]]
Line 86 ⟶ 87:
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: [[Rule of Three|Three times in the manga.]] Once by [[Warrior Therapist|Yakage]], another by [[Space Pirate|Yataka]] and once again by [[Noble Demon|Garyu.]] In the series proper, she was kidnapped by Kagato in ''Tenchi Universe''.
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]
* [[Facial Markings]]: In her
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: In the Japanese version.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: To Sasami.
Line 104 ⟶ 105:
Ayeka's younger sister, who despite being the youngest girl is generally the most mature. Is always close friends with Ryo-Ohki.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Sasami include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Apotheosis]]}}: In the [[Backstory]] of ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]'' (but not any other version of the story), {{spoiler|the Juraian goddess Tsunami merged with Princess Sasami when the girl was critically injured in a fall; the result is a fusion where Sasami is the dominant personality, and will eventually ''become'' Tsunami when she grows up}}.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As a GP Agent finds out the hard way.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Mostly [[Flanderized]] away as time passes.
Line 120 ⟶ 122:
* [[That Man Is Dead|That Girl Is Dead]]: {{spoiler|She believes so in the OAV, since as a little girl she took an almost fatal fall and Tsunami had to fuse with her. Actually, she *did* survive but barely.}}
* [[Third Person Person]]: In the Japanese version.
* [[Token
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]
Line 126 ⟶ 128:
=== Mihoshi Kuramitsu ===
An extremely clumsy and idiotic police officer that tends to end up on chasing Ryoko. She is extremely stupid and has numerous runninggags revealing around he airheaded nature and clumsiness.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
Line 154 ⟶ 156:
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Mihoshi seems strangely attached to Kiyone, and even Kiyone has her moments, especially in episode 6 of the Universe series.
* [[Satellite Character]]: In the ''Universe'' and ''Tokyo'' continuities, Mihoshi's whole purpose seems to revolve around hanging off Kiyone. Kiyone herself may fit to a lesser degree.
* [[
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: In the OVA 1 she went from a ditzy but focused officer to a lazy fool that couldn't remember her own brother's name by the end of OVA 3.
** It was less that she couldn't remember his name and more that apparently her image of him is stuck on his teenaged self. He had to show a picture of him when he was younger for her to recognize him, but she recognizes other people from his crew with whom she has only occasionally interacted quite easily. Her backstory suggests her overall goofiness came about when a past [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?]] relationship went [[Horribly Wrong]] and she only survived with this much of her mind intact because she's Washu's descendant and has the luck to make a leprechaun jealous.
=== Washu Hakubi ===
A mad scientist with various origins throughout the franchise. Is fairly childish and prone to fights with Ryoko, though not as much as Ayeka. Her inventions defy laws of physics and can often serve as plot points due his irresponsibility or deus ex machina.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
Line 193 ⟶ 195:
=== Ryo-Ohki ===
A rabbit like alien with a cat's head and ears as long as her body that makes cat noises. As such fans refer to her as a cabbit. She is close friends with Sasami and eats nothing but carrots, and transforms into a space ship.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
Line 273 ⟶ 275:
=== Kiyone Makibi (''Tenchi Universe'' and ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]'') ===
A space cop that has the misfortune of being partners with Mihoshi, whose clumsiness continuously ruins any chances of of a promotion as well as making her life a living hell.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Blue Eyes]]
Line 284 ⟶ 286:
* [[Flanderization]]: She went from being a likable and generally sympathetic character in her early appearances to an overall [[Jerkass]] in ''Tench In Tokyo'' until about episode 20.
* [[The Not Love Interest]]: Notable in that she's one of the few female characters who is exceptionally close to Tenchi ''without'' ever becoming infatuated with him, which gives the two of them a special relationship sometimes bordering on [[Platonic Life Partners]].
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Teal Hair]]

Line 328:
=== Sakuya Kumashiro (''Tenchi in Tokyo'') ===
A all round normal girl Tenchi's age that has no crazy personality traits that befriends Tenchi after he moves to Tokyo, so naturally he ends falling for her and she serves as his love interest for the series. {{spoiler|Late in the series it's revealed that she was created by Yugi as an ideal girlfriend for Tenchi to drive a wedge between him and the other characters so they will leave and take the crystals that can stop her that they have with them.}}
