This sub-division of the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'' Character Sheet is dedicated to characters having appeared in the Classic Kirameki Saga of the franchise, i.e. ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'' and its spin-off games and drama CDs.
----
Line 36:
* [[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'' Radio Drama series, {{spoiler|[[Victorious Childhood Friend]] is in effect}};
** And as of ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'', aka the Modern Kirameki Saga, which occurs 15 years later, {{spoiler|[[Victorious Childhood Friend]] is the assumed trope, as Yuu Satsuki, Shiori's relative and [[Expy]], strongly implicitly tells that him and Shiori got together. It should be known that in ''Tokimemo'' verse, anything that's strongly hinted at, effectively counts as true and canon.}}
** Given how just about everything seems to points towards Shiori, ''Victorious'' seems more likely than ''Unlucky.'' If she is [[Nintendo Hard]] then it simply means that he is just that good.
Line 95:
* [[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'', i.e. the True Epilogue of ''Nijiiro no Seishun''}}.
* [[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 “NijiBen”.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Family tradition is a priority.
Line 102:
[[File:ayako katagiri.png|frame]]
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]]). {{spoiler|also, she will go study art in an Arts school in France once she graduates.}}
Line 111:
* [[Anime Hair]]: Ayako has such a special haircut at least a fan [[Fan Nickname|nicknames her “Conchita”]].
* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: Her Event in Tokimeki Status at the Planetarium. You get to choose to let her sleep or wake up ; if you don't wake her up, she'll [[Talking in Your Sleep|tell in her sleep]] [[Squee|she loves you]].
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Back then, Konami organized a character poll on the famous magazine Famitsu, in which the readers would decide which character will become the heroine of the second ''Drama Series'' game, the would-be ''Irodori no Love Song''. Despite the poll results giving a large victory to [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Miharu Tatebayashi]], for various reasons the producers decided to go with the poll runner-up, Ayako. They still later recognized Miharu's popularity [[Throw the Dog a Bone|by making her the co-heroine of the 3rd Drama Series game]], ''Tabidachi no Uta''.
* [[Gratuitous English]] / [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Ayako's seiyuu, Masayo Kawaguchi, lives for years with her family in USA, so she knows English fairly well. There are a few instances where Ayako’s English sentences sound strange, but overall she speaks a pretty good English.
* [[Karaoke Box]]: One of her Events occur there, allowing her to display [[Crowning Music of Awesome|her awesome singing skills]].
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Her fear of water is ''extremely'' famous. She skips swimming lessons at school whenever possible, will panic if you force her to go swimming at the beach, and she has [[Crowning Moment of Funny|an hilarious]] [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]] with resident swimming lover, Nozomi. However, unlike her [[Expy]] Lesley of '' [[Mitsumete Knight|Mitsumete]] '' ''[[Spiritual Successor|Knight]]'', the reasons behind this fear were never explored.
Line 123:
[[File:miharu tatebayashi.png|frame]]
[[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 “accidentally” onto him]], appearing in date spot and claiming she mistook him for someone else, or calling him at his home and telling she made a wrong number.
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.
Line 193:
A classmate of the main protagonist. Just like Yoshio, appears on the first day of school. Grand-son of Kirameki High’s school headmaster, and heir of the ultra-rich Ijuin Family, which runs lots of wealthy local and international businesses. Flamboyant, arrogant and caustic, Rei never misses an opportunity to mock the protagonist and Yoshio. In contrast, he’s ''extremely'' popular with the girls and [[Attention Whore|he’s fully aware of it]].
{{spoiler|[[media:rei ijuin2.jpg|She’s actually]] [[Bifauxnen|a girl]]; the reason why she dresses as a boy is a family custom she has to following until her coming of age.}}
Line 220:
[[File:mio kisaragi.jpg|frame]]
[[Shrinking Violet|A shy]] and gentle [[Meganekko]] bookworm girl [[Ill Girl|with a weak body]], suffering from anemia, and thus often passing out. Because of this, she also can’t do sports (not like she likes sports to start with), or have violent emotions (and thus prefer going out to calm and peaceful places on dates).
She loves reading books so much, she’s able to read ''four of them per day'', her favourite author being Goethe. Like Shiori, she also loves classical music and love romance movies. Her ideal type of boy would be kind, intelligent and studious ones.
Line 249:
* [[Informed Ability]]: Her friendship with Shiori is well-established by canon, but it’s rare to see it in action. Especially true in the original game.
* [[Nice Hat]]: She wears a beret-like hat with her Autumn Date clothes.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Muku is this to Megumi. The protagonist and the fandom would rather think of it as a mix of [[Small Annoying Creature]] and [[Killer Rabbit]].
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
Line 266:
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Not as much as Yumi, but she’s a champion at ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]'', {{spoiler|and Maho’s greatest rival in the National DDR Tournament of ''Tokimeki Memorial Substories: Dancing Summer Vacation''}}
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Yuko's seiyuu, Yoko Teppouzuka, also voiced Maria Renard in the original PC Engine version of ''[[Castlevania: Rondo of Blood]]''.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: {{spoiler|Her friend Maho calls her “Hina” (ヒナ).}}
* [[Late for School]]
Line 298:
* [[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.
* [[Yakuza]]: What her father looks like when summoned in the battlefield: he wears a kimono and [[Katanas Are Just Better|wields a katana]].
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: It was her upbringing; attitude, clothing, and cultural heritage. See the above entry.
Line 305:
[[File:nozomi kiyokawa.jpg|frame]]
Kirameki High’s ace swimmer. Highly athletic, [[Training
[[Bokukko|Has a masculine speech pattern]] and [[Huge Schoolgirl|some masculine attitudes]], but has deep down the heart of a girl. Her big other passion besides swimming are flowers, her favourite ones being cyclamen.
Line 408:
[[File:minori akiho.png|frame]]
One of the Soccer Club managers along with Saki Nijino. Appearing for the first time in ''Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series 1: Nijiiro no Seishun'', she’s the first main character of the Classic Kirameki saga girl characters who weren’t in the original game, to enter the series’ canon.
A 1st year-student [[Genki Girl]], [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|she’s totally head-over-heels for her senpai Saki]]. As such, she sees the main protagonist (who’s, in this game’s canon, a forward striker in the Soccer Club) as her rival for Saki’s heart, and will even give her the cold shoulder {{spoiler|until he succeeds a hard soccer exercise which will show her his perseverance and love of soccer, and makes him redeem through her eyes (but she’ll still consider him a love rival)}}.
Line 451:
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: For all the girls who fawn over him, he has eyes only for a single one: Suzune. Who herself has an unrequited love for the protagonist, who himself loves Ayako...
* [[Chick Magnet]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: {{spoiler|He gives such a speech to the protagonist when seeing how much the [[Love Triangle]] situation strains Suzune, and the protagonist’s unwillingness to put an end to the mess.}}
=== Kouji Tamura ===
Line 491:
[[File:tomomi.png|frame]]
A manager of the Soccer Club, along with Saki and Minori. One of the latest entries in the Classic Kirameki saga cast, she appears only in ''Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series 3: Tabidachi no Uta''.
A [[Senpai Kohai|Kohai]] of Minori by a year (meaning she's a Kohai by two years of Saki and the protagonist), she entered the club solely because she's in love with Kirameki Soccer Club Ace Sawatari, and thus doesn't enjoy at first the chores and responsabilities behind the job of club manager. However, thanks to Minori's patient guiding, she later develops a genuine interest in soccer and in her job as a manager.
Line 516:
[[File:patricia mcgrath.png|frame]]
One of the three ''Tokimeki Memorial Pocket'' (a [[One Game for the Price of Two]] adaptation of the original game on Game Boy Color) exclusive characters, one of the latest entries in the Classic Kirameki saga cast, and the first fully-fledged foreigner character to grace the entire series. She comes to Kirameki High as an International Student, and is at first, due to the language barrier, without friends. Thanks to her contacts with the protagonist (if he first has an high enough Literature stat, otherwise he can’t date her at all), her Japanese improves with time.
She has a cheerful personality, but gets lonely easily, and misses her home country. Being a very kind person by nature, it's hard to anger her, but when she does get angry, she's terrifying. She loves cycling and watching BMX related stuff.
Along with Yukari, she’s one of the rare characters in the ''Tokimemo'' series whose [[media:mcgrath family.jpg|whole family is established in canon]]: her father is a former martial artist turned foreign diplomat, her mother is an ex-model, and her big brother is a racing driver.
Line 527:
* [[Anime Accent Absence]]: Averted, as the language barrier is a plot point in Patricia's storyline. As such, her seiyuu plays her with a clipped voice and speaking pattern.
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: Inverted, Patricia’s family is one of the rare families fully displayed in the series, and an united and loving one at that.
* [[Bishonen]]: Her big brother Jim is one. He could also qualify for a [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]].
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Do ''not'' piss off this otherwise very sweet girl by [[Jerkass|standing her up regulary in dates]]. '''You wouldn't''' [[Laser-Guided Karma|like her when]] [[Unstoppable Rage|she's angry]].
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Averted, she’s a fully-fledged foreigner.
Line 541:
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Her father is huge and muscular, wears a green cloth, is a former fighter whose now in a high administrative position. Hmmm...[[Final Fight|Mike Haggar]], much?
* [[The Faceless]]: Unlike her mother and brother, her father's face is not seen in the CG displaying her family, being so tall and huge his face is out of the frame.
=== Kyoko Izumi ===
Line 580:
[[File:katsuma 1605.png|frame]]
The protagonist of the CD Drama stories, not to be confused with the original game’s main protagonist / Naoto Takami, as they are two different characters (best proof is that Katsuma will, during the course of the Radio Dramas, help Naoto and Shiori in their relationship).
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.
Line 586:
----
* [[The Cameo]]: {{spoiler|In ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'', along with his childhood friend Natsue, his name is written in a document record listing the participants to the 3-Legged Race which occurred 15 years before the events of this game, making them both officially…}}
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: {{spoiler|…as this list also mentions Yoshio and Yumi Saotome participating in this race.}}
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: The crystal pendant he got from his parents and wears at his neck. {{spoiler|It plays a vital role during Natsue's [[Love Confession]] to him, see her [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] entry below.}}
Line 632:
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Chick Magnet]]
* [[Cross Dressing Voice]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: {{spoiler|Or is he? After all, near the end of the Radio Drama, when he gets news of Megumi admitted to the hospital for a fall as he was going to meet Ayako for their first date, he rushes to Megumi's side without warning Ayako first and stands her up. Ayako is ''pissed off'', and breaks ties with Ebisutani without letting him explain himself.}}
