== ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'' characters ==
=== Main Protagonist / Naoto Takami ===
Line 20:
His activities also vary depending of the games' canon: while they’re not set in the original game, the ''Drama Series'' see him as a Forward Striker in the Soccer Club, or a guitarist in the “Irodori” Band Club.
The Main Protagonist has [[Hello, Insert Name Here|no set name in all the games of the saga]], but most of the

* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Due to being a Player Avatar. However, the
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: With his best friend Yoshio. This is visible in ''Irodori no Love Song'' as, should Yuko be late for the contest, the player (Naoto) will then go on with Yoshio.
* [[Corner of Woe]]: Does this in ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'' 's Bad Ending.
Line 34:
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Poor {{spoiler|Suzune}} in ''{{spoiler|Irodori no Love Song}}''.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: The fate the Main Protagonist is likely to meet, as Shiori is a [[Nintendo Hard]] character to get the ending of. But it can become a [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] case if you actively target her and play well.
** In the ''Motto! Tokimeki Memorial''
** And as of ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'',
** Given how just about everything seems to points towards Shiori, ''Victorious'' seems more likely than ''Unlucky
=== Shiori Fujisaki ===
Line 49:
----
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not compliment her by saying she’s
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Especially egregious [[The Anime of the Game|in the OVA]].
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]: Can become one if her starting parameters set her as a member of the Soccer or Base-Ball Clubs.
Line 55:
* [[Girl Next Door]]: She and the main protagonist live in the houses right next to each other.
* [[Locked in a Room]]: {{spoiler|Or rather, trapped on a Ferris wheel. During a date to the amusement park in the winter season after Shiori is in "enraptured" state, choose to ride the ferris wheel (Shiori's favorite ride). During the ride the Ferris wheel stalls, leaving the pair trapped up high. Shiori becomes frightened, but the protagonist takes her mind off it by showing her what a great view it is from up there}}.
* [[Nice Hat]]: She wears one in the
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Renowned for being the hardest character in the entire series to get the ending of. Especially egregious in the Super Famicom version of the original game because love is not enough. You can get all love events with her and she still won't take you if your stats aren't good enough. In almost all other material and supplements for this game though, love apparently IS enough.
* [[Snow Means Love]]: One of her Events in the original game, occuring {{spoiler|after the Christmas Party at Ijuin's [[Big Fancy House]]}}.
Line 68:
[[File:saki nijino.jpg|frame]]
A kind, cheerful and very sociable girl, [[Supreme Chef|skilled at cooking]], [[Yamato Nadeshiko|who holds family values in high regard]], and loves to take care of her friends, be their energy, and cheer them up. She’s so well-loved for this, she’s known as the
She’s the manager of either the Soccer Club or the Baseball Club, leading to a conflicting canon as to which of the two clubs she is in: the ''Drama Series'' games and the
Due to her kind character and her very high versatility in tastes, [[Ensemble Darkhorse|she’s one of the most popular characters in the entire series among fans]], [[Up to Eleven|to the point she has often beaten extremely well-loved Shiori in official and game magazines character polls]]. This popularity was recognized by the series’ creators, who made her the heroine of the first ''Drama Series'' game
----
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: In both ''Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle'' and ''Tokkae Dama'', she apologizes to the opponent in her winning speeches.
* [[Biting the Handkerchief]]: Saki does this when she’s defeated in ''Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle Dama''.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: She loves to cheer up people by screaming
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]: The [[Dating Sim]] [[Ur Example]].
* [[Everything's Better with Rainbows]]: On the symbolical level: Rainbow is one of the two main elements (along with a soccer ball) in the cover, title screen, {{spoiler|and ending}} of ''Nijiiro no Seishun''. No wonder, as Saki’s family name
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: To a degree. One way to bring her to "enraptured" state is to play hard to get by not asking her out on dates and turning her down when she asks you out (but don't take it too far so as to make her "bomb" you). Because of this, it's possible to accidentally win her while trying to go after another girl.
* [[Ill Girl]]: Two instances in the Classic Kirameki saga. The first is in the original game, if you choose to go with her on the school trip. {{spoiler|She falls ill on the third day and you must take care of her, so you get to skip out on the battle minigame that normally happens here}}; the second one occurs in ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', {{spoiler|after she waited all the day under the rain for the protagonist, believing that he would definitely come to the shrine, despite him wanting to give up soccer after the misunderstanding between them. He indeed came, and she slumped against him, down with a fever. The protagonist takes her to her home, and stays at her bedside for a while, where, in her delirium, she eventually starts ([[Cannot Spit It Out|but doesn’t finish]]) confessing her feelings for him}}.
* [[Kiss of Life]]: In her Summer Event at the Pool in the original game, Saki will nearly drown, needing a [[Kiss of Life]]. {{spoiler|Just as the protagonist is about to start it, she comes back to her senses. When he tells her later about it, she panics, asking if he performed it; and when she learns the truth, she's somewhere between relieved and disappointed, uttering "if only I stayed unconscious a little bit longer...". [[Cannot Spit It Out|And then she confusely tries to divert the topic]] [[Luminescent Blush|all while blushing furiously]], [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|when the protagonist ask her what she just said]]}}.
* [[Multitasked Conversation]]: {{spoiler|What caused the whole "Misunderstanding" Event in ''Nijiiro no Seishun''}}.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Her Autumn Date clothes include a nice cap.
* [[Pinky Swear]]: With the protagonist; it's a driving force of ''Nijiiro no Seishun'' 's plot.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: In an interview inside one of ''Nijiiro no Seishun''’s official guidebook, Saki’s [[Seiyuu]], [[Sachiko Sugawara]], revealed that she caught a cold coincidentally at the time of recording the scene where {{spoiler|Saki went down with a fever after waiting for the main protagonist under the rain the whole day, and talks with him while she’s bedridden}}. Her voice was low and rough, and it was difficult for her to act, so the voicing session was hell for her. However, she was extremely happy to hear from lots of people who played the game that they found her performance in this scene extremely realistic and fantastic.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Her bento are so delicious, they are nicknamed
** But despite this status, she’s one of the girls who can botch the dinner at the Club’s Summer Camp. Due to this, she’s one of the most apologetic characters for this incident.
* [[Team Mom]]: She’s this for the Club she’s the manager of.
* [[Tears of Joy]]: Does this in the original game's [[Meaningful Name|aptly named]] Special Event "Tears Of Joy", which occurs if both you and Saki are members of the Base-Ball Club, and you win the Koshien (the National Inter-high Baseball Championship). She also shed those in {{spoiler|the ending of the ''Nijiiro no Sotsugyoushiki'' scenario of ''Tabidachi no Uta''
* [[Through His Stomach]]: One of her dating tactics towards the main protagonist, when she’s in love with him. Both in the original game and ''Nijiiro no Seishun'', she’ll treat him with her famous
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Family tradition is a priority.
Line 100:
A fun-loving girl who loves speaking with [[Gratuitous English|English sentences mixed in her speech]]. She has two main passions: art, and singing.
She loves to draw pictures, and is talented at it . She enjoys looking at paintings a lot, and is a big fan of Grotesque painter Gergi (a [[Shout-Out]] to H.R. Giger, who’s the designer of ''[[Alien]]'').

[[Shrinking Violet|An extremely shy girl]] [[Love At First Sight|who fell in love at first sight]] for the main protagonist on School Entrance Day, [[Cannot Spit It Out|but can’t muster the courage to tell her feelings to him]]. Instead, she tries to make him notice of her by doing such things [[Crash Into Hello|as crashing
She’s fond of koalas; [[Anime Hair|she even puts her hair in koala ear-shape]], and goes as far as wearing a koala costume to sometimes be able to follow the main protagonist when he has dates at the [[Amusement Park]].
Miharu is, in the original game, a secret character the player couldn’t date, and was made by the creators as a consolation character for the players who haven’t managed to get the confession of any other character (even though there’s a chance you can miss her as well). Despite all this, she became ''very'' [[Ensemble Darkhorse|popular among fans of the series]], to the point she was made the co-heroine with Shiori in the third ''Drama Series'' game
Line 140:
[[File:yoshio saotome.png|frame]]
A classmate of the main protagonist. He accosts him on the first day of school, and they become instant friends. Just like the main protagonist, he’s on a quest for love, and has the tools to reach this end, as he’s the
Yoshio is deep down a good guy who cares for his friend (and this is especially shown in the ''Drama Series''), but he’s very noisy, [[Large Ham|over-the-top]], and prone to jump to conclusions, [[Only Sane Man|leading to give some headaches to the protagonist]]. However, being well-meaning and enthusiast, [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|he often gets away with this among the girls, who thinks he’s funny]], and is [[Easily Forgiven]] by the protagonist.
Line 148:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: When this guy wants to be angry, he doesn't do things by half. In ''Tokimeki no Houkago'', Yoshio's verbal [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] to Naoto, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x70BgGTtIA0#t=6m45s after the latter and Shiori quarreled and didn't dare to reconcile out of pride and shyness], is one of his most memorable [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: With the player (Naoto). This is visible in ''Irodori no Love Song'' should Yuko be late for the contest then [[Hello, Insert Name Here|the player]] (Naoto) will go on with Yoshio.
* [[Brainwashed]]: {{spoiler|In the original game, Yoshio actually discovers Rei's secret and is about to tell you it when Rei promptly appears and carts him off. The player later meets him and asks him about it but he has been [[Brainwashed]] via drugs to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|forget all about it]]}}.
* [[Bromantic Foil]]: If he’s not the [[Trope Maker]], he’s at the very least one of the oldest examples.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Check da, check!!"
Line 166:
----
* [[Berserk Button]]: If you don’t wanna eat a painful Yumi Bomber, do not say she’s
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: With her Yumi Bomber.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: In the original game, not only she has one of the highest love progression and the highest Bombing rate among the girls, she also have a Event which only activates if a certain Saki Event occured, see [[Lethal Chef]] below!
Line 191:
* [[Attention Whore]]: Oh so much.
* {{spoiler|[[Bifauxnen]]}}
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Two of them are shown in the series: the regular one in the original game, and the summer residence in ''Tokimeki Memorial: Private Collection''.
* [[Custom Uniform]]
* {{spoiler|[[Easier Than Easy]]: Rei is actually the easiest character to get the ending of in the original game. Just spam her with phone calls each week-end, and you’re good to go; you don’t even have to work on your stats}}.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: {{spoiler|
* {{spoiler|[[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Forget Nozomi (163 cm) or even Mira (167 cm) and Patricia (168 cm), Rei is by far the tallest girl in the cast, with her 172 cm}}!
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: {{spoiler|She’s actually a girl}}, and late merchandise in the franchise don't make it much of a secret.
* [[The Men in Black]]/[[Private Military Contractors]]: The Ijuin Family Army.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Normally kept in a ponytail {{spoiler|to maintain the boyish look, until her day of confession when she [[Letting Her Hair Down|lets it down]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Rescue Romance]]
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Subversion in that Rei likes to show off the Ijuin Family’s wealthiness and how the others are cockroaches compared to them, but never uses it for evil ends. In fact, he's the one who hosts the New Years Party.
* {{spoiler|[[Secret Character]]}}
Line 214:

[[File:yukari koshiki.jpg|frame]]
Daughter of a rich businessman owner of the wealthy
She’s best friends with [[Odd Friendship|her polar opposite]] Yuko; and since both of them are from filthy rich families, she’s also childhood friends with Rei. {{spoiler|Thanks to this, she’s the sole character (aside from, briefly, Yoshio) in Kirameki High School to know that Rei is actually a girl}}.
Line 278:
* [[Ojou]]
* [[Overprotective Dad]]: To the point that, in battle mode, her special attack, which invokes her father, who proceeds to slice the enemies with [[Katanas Are Just Better|his katana]], is arguably the most damaging in the game; also, {{spoiler|Yukari's ending mention that the main character is a bit afraid and ill at ease with her father due to his overprotectiveness of her daughter}}.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Utterly averted. She’s one of the rare characters in the Classic Kirameki saga to have both her parents well-established in canon, she has a close relationship with both of them (and [[Daddy's Girl|she’s her]] [[Overprotective Dad|father’s treasure]]), and she’s basically the fruit and living proof of the legend of the Legendary Tree

Kirameki High’s resident [[Rich Bitch]] [[Alpha Bitch]], she’s known as
By this description, looks like we have a winner for a haughty [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders]] [[Brainless Beauty]]… {{spoiler|Except that she actually has [[Hidden Depths]]. This personality is actually [[Jerkass Facade|a facade she carefully constructed]]: in Junior High, [[Break the Cutie|she was a sweet girl]] [[Broken Bird|who had her heart broken countless times by guys]], [[Woman Scorned|and she swore revenge in High School]] [[Batman Gambit|by working hard on her appearance]], [[Revenge of the Nerd|so she could get boys to fawn over her, play with their feelings for some time, and then cruelly dump them down]]. However, while this [[Evil Plan]] was exciting at the beginning, [[Sour Grapes Tropes|she grew sick of it]], and deep in her heart, [[Defrosting Ice Queen|wishes to find the one boy who would see the real her hidden deep under this hard carapace,]] [[Just the Way You Are|love her for what she really is
On top of that, {{spoiler|while she poses as a [[Rich Bitch]] in school, she actually lives in a very poor household, where [[Disappeared Dad|her father is implied to be dead]] and [[Parental Substitute|has 6 brothers she has to take care of]]. This explains why she hasn’t joined any clubs (must take care of the kids), cancels dates with the protagonist at times (when one of her brothers is ill), where comes her skills at sewing (helps her mom with housework), and why she’s so adamant at refusing anyone to go with her to home after school (so they won't know the truth about her)}}.
Line 327:

* [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: Mira is [[Gratuitous English]] for

Line 341:
Kirameki High’s resident [[Mad Scientist]]. A girl [[Ambition Is Evil|whose ambition]] is to [[Take Over the World]], and is conducing various electronics and computer experiments, including and especially the construction of an [[Humongous Mecha]], to achieve this end.

[[File:kyoko izumi.png|frame]]
One of the three ''Tokimeki Memorial Pocket'' exclusive characters, she’s a perseverant [[Genki Girl]] with a strong sense of justice, who wishes to fight in its name, and thus attempts to foil Yuina’s plans of [[Take Over the World|Taking Over The World]]. However, much like Miyuki of ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'', she seems to be born under an unlucky star, and is known to always pull out
Despite having the same family name, down to the same kanji combination, she’s not related to Hotaru Izumi of ''Tokimeki Memorial 3''.
Line 539:
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: When taking her to a date at the Stadium (for watching a base-ball match) twice, she cheers for the teams ''by playing the trumpet''.

The protagonist of the CD
He has lost both his parents in a fire, and lives alone. [[The Ace|He’s talented at both studies and sports]], but doesn’t have the will to participate, and spends his days in idleness. In Junior High, he was his Basket-ball Club’s ace, and is a member of Kirameki’s Basket-ball club.
