Tokimeki Memorial/Characters/1: Difference between revisions

* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to the Japanese version of [[The Other Wiki]], this character is a shining example of this trope. Indeed, Yukari’s initial name was Shouko Hoshino (星野翔子), but because the PC-Engine’s Kanji system couldn’t display the kanji 翔 (shou), her name was changed to the current “Yukari Koshiki”. Even more memorable is that, in the game’s development’s initial stage, she was planned to be the game’s second heroine at Shiori’s side (and be hostile towards her), but the idea was ultimately scrapped. Her personnality was also radically different: she was planned as a [[Delinquents|Delinquent]] instead of the [[Cloudcuckoolander]] she is in the final version. Finally, there was a planned game sequence in which, when you phone her to set a date, sometimes the call would be redirected to her [[Overprotective Dad]]’s cellphone: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a brilliant idea]] [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|that was also scrapped in the end]]. Several of those ideas would be used 15 years later in ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] 4'', to create Yukari's [[Expy]], Kai Ryukochi.
