* [[Blinding Bangs]]: In the games. However, just like Naoto, his Kouichi Watase persona has rare arts with full eyes in the Drama CDs.
* [[Diagonal Cut]]: The result of his [[Limit Break]] if he's a member of the Kendo Club and becomes one of its Masters.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
 
----
 
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* {{spoiler|[[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: Her Happy Ending, as she feels she and the protagonist will be separated from each other like when they were young after Graduation, and she doesn't want to live that ever again.}}
* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: {{spoiler|in the [[Snowed In]] Event told below, the protagonist, seeing Hikari tired, tells her to sleep, while he stays awake and waits for the train back to service announcement, promising her to wake her up at the announcement. As she sleeps on his shoulder, the protagonist will remember he forgot to give her his Christmas present, and if you chose to give her glass earrings (her favourite item), [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|in order to let her rest and to give her a surprise]], he'll put them on her all while she sleeps.}}
* [[Beauty Mark]]
Line 49 ⟶ 47:
* [[Holding Hands]]: One of her special events. She and the protagonist are on a date at a shopping mall; she gets lost, then gets found by the protagonist, who proceeds to hold her hand the rest of the date to make sure she doesn't get lost again. A similar event in the Childhood Event must occur for this to happen.
* [[Idiot Hair]]
* [[Image Song]]: Too many of them to name them all: Hikari, as the game's heroine, got the most of those among all characters. Her main Image Song, though, is "Egao no Kesshin" (="Determined to Smile").
* [[Important Haircut]]: She cut her hair just before the start of the main game thinking she'd never see her childhood friend again {{spoiler|though she [[Expository Hairstyle Change|grows it long again]] in her ending of ''Memories Ringing On''}}.
* [[Image Song]]: Too many of them to name them all: Hikari, as the game's heroine, got the most of those among all characters. Her main Image Song, though, is "Egao no Kesshin" (="Determined to Smile").
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: She’s just as bad as Kotoko on this matter, {{spoiler|and it’ll land you a bad ending if you decide to chase after Hikari instead of Kotoko, in Kotoko’s ending wher both of them are in love with the protagonist}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her name litterally means "[[Genki Girl|the light under the sun]]" in Japanese.
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[Sand in My Eyes]]: Uses this excuse in her ''Memories Ringing On'' route to cover her [[Tears of Joy|tears of relief]], {{spoiler|after the protagonist clears the misunderstanding caused by the [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment between him and Kotoko (Homura was running in the hallway and bumped into him while he was discussing with Kotoko, causing him to fall over Kotoko)}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Snowed In]]: Happens in one of her last major events before her love confession, during a date at the ski slopes in the winter season. A sudden blizzard occurs, stopping the train service between the mountain and Hibikino City, and forcing Hikari and the protagonist to take shelter in the ski resort's train station and wait until the lines work again for a whole night.}}
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Her [[Limit Break]]. It activates when the enemy uses a [[Limit Break]] of his own: she'll jump between it and the protagonist to take it. This knocks her out of battle, but she'll tell him she's glad he's safe. Seeing this, the protagonist shouts "[[This Is Unforgivable!]]!", and enters in an [[Unstoppable Rage]] that dramatically ups his Attack Power.
* {{spoiler|[[Trying Not to Cry]]: Played utterly straight in her Ending, as part of her [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|The scene is emotionally powerful]] thanks to Junko Noda's superb performance, and that you can see Hikari's eyes progressively welling up with tears as she speaks.}}
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: ''Very'' likely to become one in the main game, and {{spoiler|[[Official Couple|becomes one]]}} in both the Drama CDs and [[Novelization|the novel]] ''Kimi no Ushiro Sugata''.
* [[With This Ring]]: The toy ring the protagonist bought her in their childhood days; [[Memento MacGuffin|she cherishes it so much]], it's an integral part of her storyline. See the trope's page for more details.
Line 70 ⟶ 68:
 
----
 
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: She loves to delivers these to the protagonist [[The Matchmaker|every time she feels]] [[Matchmaker Crush|he neglected her best friend Hikari]]. {{spoiler|It culminates to [[Slap Slap Kiss]] territory (although the slap slap is delivered by her alone, and she hugs you instead of kissing), complete with [[Baka]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|callings]], in her Ending where both her and Hikari are in love with the protagonist, and you ultimately choose Kotoko.}}
** She even go as far as slapping {{spoiler|her own teacher, Kasumi}}, in ''Memories Ringing On'', although for a radically different reason: {{spoiler|[[Wrongly Accused|she was suspected of having punctured one of the tyres of Kasumi's car, with whom she was in bad terms, out of spite, when in fact it was Bakuretsuzan and Homura who accidentally did it by playing with Pachinko balls nearby]]}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Anything foreign related, but especially curry. Also, hurting Hikari's feelings.
* [[Culture Clash]]: She is averse to anything foreign, to the point that the smell of curry makes her sneeze. Too much exposure from curry and coffee smell even make her ''faint''.
* {{spoiler|[[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: During one of her story paths in ''Memories Ringing On'', she shows the protagonist a picture of her and Hikari from middleschool where she had short hair while Hikari had [[Rapunzel Hair|long hair]]. Quite interesting that their hair lengths are switched in the present.}}
* [[Image Song]]: Seven of them, plus a duet one with Hikari. Her main song is "Suki to Ienakute" (= "[[Cannot Spit It Out|Unable To Say 'I love You']]").
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Woo boy, she’s the poster girl for this trope in the whole series!
Line 92 ⟶ 89:
 
----
 
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Hot for Student]]
Line 107 ⟶ 103:
 
----
 
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Fortune Teller]]: Her big hobby.
Line 125 ⟶ 120:
 
----
 
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Reaching 90 cm in 3rd year, she has the fifth (ex aequo with ''Tokimeki Memorial 3'''s Emi Tachibana) biggest cup size in the series , behind {{spoiler|fellow model}} Mira, as well as Akane, Patricia and Mari. Her breast size is one of the few ways to see who is Miho and who is Maho in their [[Twin Switch]] game (Maho has the biggest cup size), and she makes good use of them in two special Events, wearing a bold bikini at the beach and a sexy [[Fortune Teller]] outfit at the School Festival to please the protagonist, and this works so well [[Crowning Moment of Funny|it also attracts all male attention around her in the process]]. Plus, {{spoiler|she becomes a model after graduating}}.
Line 146 ⟶ 140:
 
----
 
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Which are always accompanied with [[Instant Bandages]].
* [[Born Unlucky]]
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: And it runs in the family, as her mother is an even ''bigger'' one, talking casually and friendly to the main protagonist all while failing to realize ''he has fallen a whole floor through the ceiling'', in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''.
* [[Cosmic Plaything]]
Line 160 ⟶ 154:
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With her cheerful and genuine personnality, she has a knack at creating those. She's best friends with the calm and gentle Miho, becomes friends with the [[Broken Bird|emotionally closed-to-others]] Kaori in ''Dancing Summer Vacation'', and even more surprisingly, forms a deep friendship with {{spoiler|Kotoko}} of all people in the Drama CDs, to the point she lets Miyuki get away with calling her {{spoiler|Mina-pon}}!
* [[Sleep Cute]]: One of her Events, with [[Lap Pillow]] variety to boot.
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[Third Person Person]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Han-ya!"
Line 171 ⟶ 164:
 
----
 
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Of Mei Ijuin, and this is mutual.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not call the school headmaster "Kazumi-chan" in front of her. Otherwise, face the wrath of her Kaichou Kick.
Line 180 ⟶ 172:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[Kick Chick]]
* [[Identical Grandson|Identical Granddaughter]]: In ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Leaping School Festival'', we get to discover that she's the spitting image of her grandmother. {{spoiler|It also explains why Headmaster Bakuretsuzan is so friendly with Homura, as he was in love with her grandmother and Homura reminds him of her, AND had a friendly rivalry over her with her grandfather, who also was (and still is, which says a lot of how a [[Nice Guy]] he is!) his best friend}}.
* [[Image Song]]: 5 of them. She's also the character with the most duet songs (ex-aequo with Akane), having one with Akane, another one with Akane and Mei, and another one with Akane and Miyuki. Her main Image Song, "Yuke! Akai Homura!" (= "Go! Homura Akai!") is also her [[Bragging Theme Tune]].
* [[Kick Chick]]
* [[Late for School]]: How the protagonist meets her. Homura, as the [[Student Council President]], guards the school's gates, and she catches him being late. The event also counts as [[Incoming Ham]], as Homura delivers a [[Super Sentai]] [[In the Name of the Moon]] speech when she sees him in fault.
* [[Otaku Surrogate]]: Her idea of a date at the movies is watching Mecha Anime.
Line 202 ⟶ 194:
 
----
 
* [[Arch Enemy]]: of Homura Akai, and '''HOW'''!
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Mei ''demands'' total devotion to her if she falls in love with you. Best proof is the "You are my only 'slave'" Event :
Line 217 ⟶ 208:
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Her ''whole face'' becomes red when in [[Tsundere]] mode.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: She’s [[Take Over the World|Yuina]]’s disciple for crying out loud!
* [[The Men in Black]] / [[Private Military Contractors]]: The Ijuin Family Army.
* [[Onion Tears]]: In one of the Drama tracks of her ''Blooming Stories'' CD, she uses this [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|as an excuse for covering]] how the thought of the protagonist's selflessness towards her moved her.
* [[Picky Eater]]: She ''hates'' onions.
* [[The Men in Black]] / [[Private Military Contractors]]: The Ijuin Family Army.
* [[Student Council President]]: She takes up the mantle after Homura graduates from Hibikino High, [[Take That|promising, in a snide way towards Homura]], that under her presidency, she'll give a fun school life to the students.
* [[Third Person Person]]
Line 233 ⟶ 224:
 
----
 
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Her feelings of love for the protagonist in general (until her [[Happy Ending]] that is), and more specifically, {{spoiler|during her mandatory event at the 2nd Year's Fireworks Festival, that she would move away with her family the next day}}.
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: One of the two possible ways of meeting her is this.
* [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]: {{spoiler|of both Hibikino, and later Daimon High's Base-Ball Clubs.}}
* [[Dojikko]]: To the point it's the crux of her [[Limit Break]].
* {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending]]}}: Particulary in ''Memories Ringing On'', as {{spoiler|Kaedeko's father is firmly opposed to the idea that Kaedeko goes at Hibikino University after her High School time at Daimon High is over, thus needing her to take a lodging at Hibikino and live alone. It'll take much convincing from Kaedeko and one of her relatives, and much patience and determination from the protagonist to make him relent}}.
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: She always wears a hairband.
* [[Holding Hands]]: {{spoiler|In the last shot of her Ending}}.
* [[Image Song]]: Seven of them, plus a trio one with Kaori and Miho. Of those, the two main ones are "Keep on keeping on" and "Twilight Express".
* [[Informed Ability]]: She's touted as what can be considered as Kaori's closest friend, yet they have about zero interaction in the games. Averted however in the [[Novelization|novel]] ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', where they have a ''real'' close friendship that plays a ''vital'' role in getting Kaori better. {{spoiler|Kaedeko even goes as far as taking a 3-hours train trip immediately after she called Kaori, who was at the time horribly depressed due to a misunderstanding with her love interest Shunta and thus didn't want to talk with her, so she can confort and help Kaori.}}
* {{spoiler|[[I Will Wait for You]]: The choice you have to pick in the last set of choices, to get her Ending in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Memories Ringing On''}}
* {{spoiler|[[Long-Distance Relationship]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Lost Forever]]: If you fail to put Kaedeko in Tokimeki Status by the time she moves away, you won't get her ending, no matter how many phone calls you'll give her afterwards.}}
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Tears of Joy]]: In several Events, and most notably {{spoiler|in her Ending}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Train Station Goodbye]]: Her ending in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Memories Ringing On'', but it's actually a subversion: after the Events in the game, she manages to convince her father to let do her studies at Hibikino University instead of Hokkaido (so she can be near the protagonist she loves). The Ending shows her going to visit and take possesion of her future lodging, but she has forgot its keys back at her home in Hokkaido, so she needs to take the train and back to pick them up.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Transfer Student Uniforms]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Train Station Goodbye]]: Her ending in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Memories Ringing On'', but it's actually a subversion: after the Events in the game, she manages to convince her father to let do her studies at Hibikino University instead of Hokkaido (so she can be near the protagonist she loves). The Ending shows her going to visit and take possesion of her future lodging, but she has forgot its keys back at her home in Hokkaido, so she needs to take the train and back to pick them up.}}
 
== Kaori Yae ==
Line 260 ⟶ 250:
 
----
 
* [[Alone in a Crowd]]: One of her key Events in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''.
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Her counter-attack quote in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Taisen Puzzle Dama''.
Line 267 ⟶ 256:
* [[Cherry Blossom Girl]]: She's not named Sakura per se, but part of her name has its Kanji, and she's heavily cherry flowers-themed. See the trope page for more details.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: The name of the second variation of her Image BGM (which activates [[Near-Victory Fanfare|after she recovers from her]] [[Heroic BSOD]]) drives this trope's point home: "Waiting impatiently for Spring '2nd Movement' [[Meaningful Name|[[The Thaw's Flow]]]]".
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: Averted, per virtue of [[What Could Have Been]]. According to one of the [[All There in the Manual|Hibikino Watcher magazines]], during the game's development, [[Word of God|the creators]] pondered about the idea she would kill herself out of depression during the course of the game, but they ultimately scrapped this idea, believing that was going too far for a ''[[Tastes Like Diabetes|Tokimeki Memorial]]'' [[Tastes Like Diabetes|game]], and instead went with the more neutral and open [[Lost Forever|"dropped Hibikino High and course unknown"]] route.}}
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]]
* [[Expy]]: It's maybe stretching it, but she shares ''a lot'' of similarities with Raizze Haimer of ''Tokimemo 1'' 's [[Spiritual Successor]] ''[[Mitsumete Knight]]'' (released 2 years before ''Tokimemo 2''): both are silent, coldish and soft-spoken girls who avoid contact with others, and thus [[Defrosting Ice Queen|need to be defrosted]] in order for them to fall in love with you; both have very low Love Growth rates and thus are [[Nintendo Hard]] characters; and both can be {{spoiler|[[Lost Forever]] in a terribly [[Tear Jerker]] way if they're not enough in love with you}}. Add to that that both of them are the absolute [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] of their respective games...
* [[Fan Service with a Smile]]: If the Event where Kaori overcomes her wounds has occured, if she's in Tokimeki Status with the protagonist, and {{spoiler|if you choose to do a Café Shop for the 3rd Year School Festival, she'll wear [[Meido|a maid outfit]] while serving as the Café's waitress}}. This Event is another proof that [[He's Back|She's Back]], [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|as she's smiling happily and is visibly having a fun time doing this]].
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Not of Saki's level, but still a good cook.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Except of dogs. She ''hates'' dogs. Actually, her favourite animals are [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|cats]] and fishes.
* [[Genki Girl]]: As part of the [[He's Back|She's Back]] trope, during the third year, when her backstory has been revealed and she decides to join the Volley-Ball Club, she literally embodies this trope. She is one of the few girls that you will constantly meet in the third year once they are in love with you (possibly as a way to make up for the lack of Kaori in the first two years). Incidentally on another note her [[Leitmotif]] theme tune also changes from the somber, quiet tune to a more peppy, cheerful tune in the third year.
Line 282 ⟶ 270:
* [[Official Couple]]: In the [[Novelization|novel]] ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', with main protagonist Shunta Torigoe.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: Her appearance near the very end of the game, when wearing her special Winter street clothes, exudes of this feeling. {{spoiler|[[Justified Trope|Justified]] since she's actually one year older than the protagonist, and has matured after recovering from her [[Heroic BSOD]]}}. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the protagonist on New Year's day of 3rd Year.
* [[The Power of Trust]]: '''The''' defining trope of Kaori's storyline.
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]
* [[He's Back|She's Back]]: Pulls this after the mandatory Event to get her Ending, where, thanks to [[The Power of Love]], she finds the courage to overcome her wounds, and decides to enter the Volley-Ball Club again. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by one of the Official Guidebooks about this Event: "''The original Yae-san has come back''".
* [[Sitting on the Roof]]: The school roof is Kaori's favourite place in Hibikino High's campus, as people rarely go there, so she can find the solitude she wishes for and can relax there. It's the place where the Main Protagonist will meet her for the first time, and {{spoiler|as a [[Book Ends]], where she'll give him her [[Love Confession]] at the end of the game if they become sweethearts.}}
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Not of Saki's level, but still a good cook.
* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Heat]]}} / {{spoiler|[[Et Tu, Brute?]]}}: The tropes which started Kaori's [[Backstory]]. {{spoiler|When she was in her former school, she was a cheerful member of the Volley-Ball club, and she was great friends with the other members; but one day, one of them committed a burglary in the Club, stealing the club's cash budget. Everyone knew who was the culprit, but if he was to be exposed, the Club would then suffer grave consequences. In order to save the Club, Kaori took the heat by posing as the culprit, thinking that even if she was to be temporary expelled, even if she would be looked down by teachers and classmates, she wouldn't lose her position at the Club once she would come back and her friends at the club would understand her and be grateful towards her. Unfortunately, her "friends" instead betrayed her by cowardly abandoning and ostracizing her afterwards, explaining how she became a [[Broken Bird]], why she transferred to Hibikino High, and why she's repeating a class.}}
* [[Talking the Monster to Death]]: The concept of her [[Limit Break]]. Her words make the enemy reflect on himself and take heavy damage as [[My God, What Have I Done?|they realize they're doing a bad action]].
* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Heat]]}} / {{spoiler|[[Et Tu, Brute?]]}}: The tropes which started Kaori's [[Backstory]]. {{spoiler|When she was in her former school, she was a cheerful member of the Volley-Ball club, and she was great friends with the other members; but one day, one of them committed a burglary in the Club, stealing the club's cash budget.

* [[The Power of Trust]]: '''The''' defining trope of Kaori's storyline.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: The [[Novelization]] of Kaori's storyline, ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', gives a [[Parental Abandonment]] explanation to the otherwise [[Fridge Logic]] pondering as to why they haven't took her visibly deeply depressed daughter to a psychatrist already : her father is assigned to an overseas post, and her mother is an editor at a magazine who's so busy with her work, she doesn't come back to house until late night (and even often sleeps at the publishing company), as well as sometimes going on data-gathering trips for several days, leaving Kaori on her own with only her cell phone number in case of emergency.
* [[Trauma Swing]]: One of her key Events in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''.
Line 300 ⟶ 289:
 
----
 
* [[Bokukko]]
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Reaching 92 cm in 3rd year, she has the biggest bust size amongst the Hibikino Saga characters; and she's definitely the strongest female in the game, see [[Megaton Punch]] as well as [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|Does Not Know Her Own Strength]].
Line 322 ⟶ 310:
 
----
* {{spoiler|[[Japanese Delinquents]]: She's one of the thugs (in a disguise) the protagonist will have to fight against, the "[[Meaningful Name|Baito Banchou]]"; fortunately she gives up during the fight, as she has to go for a part-time job.}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Japanese Delinquents]]: She's one of the thugs (in a disguise) the protagonist will have to fight against, the "[[Meaningful Name|Baito Banchou]]"; fortunately she gives up during the fight, as she has to go for a part-time job.}}

* [[Circus Brat]]

* [[A Boy and His X|A Girl And Her Monkey]]
* [[Secret Character]]
* [[Theme Naming]] / [[Flower Motifs]]: The Nozaki family is named after flowers. Sumire is "Violet" in Japanese, and Daisy, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|well...]]
 
== Junichiro Hokari ==
Line 351 ⟶ 337:
 
----
 
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Of the [[That One Boss]] variety. He's considered one of the hardest battles ''in the whole franchise'', even harder than the local [[Japanese Delinquents]]' boss of this game, who's already no slouch. It's not uncommon to see players restart their playthrough when Jun tells the protagonist he loves a specific girl in the cast, at around mid-game: if this girl is the same you're targeting, you'll have to fight him near the end of the game to determine who will have the right to pursue the relationship with the girl.
* [[Diagonal Cut]]: The result of his Kendo Club [[Limit Break]].
Line 368 ⟶ 353:
 
----
* {{spoiler|[[Attractive Bent Gender]] / [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: During one event in the game involving a school play, the lead actress ends up sick, and he somehow stands in for her and does the job well!}}
 
** {{spoiler|Also happens during a bonus ending, when he, dressed in a girl's uniform, confesses his feelings to the protagonist, who to his horror, answers! Turns out it was just a nightmare. This event is of course a [[Shout-Out]] to Rei's secret from Tokimemo 1.}}

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
* [[Cross Dressing Voice]]
Line 386 ⟶ 370:
 
----
 
* [[Battle Butler]]: As he is Mei's butler, he will always follow her in your dates with her in the first stage of your relationship, and will not hesitate pointing his gun at you at the slightest detail. When she’ll be enough in love with you, she’ll forbid him to follow her.
* [[Cultured Badass]]: Considering he is both butler and bodyguard to the Ijuin family this goes without saying.
Line 402 ⟶ 385:
 
----
 
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Crack! Oh, My Back!]]: In the Kotoko Route of ''Memories Ringing On'', he carries ''on one arm'' a fainted protagonist to the infirmary. The next day, Kasumi and the protagonist discuss about it, impressed by such a feat for his age... Only to meet Bakuretsuzan, strongly smelling of compress' chemicals and trying hard to hide his pain. [[Amusing Injuries|Then they hear him scream like a baby in his room as Homura gives him a massage]].
Line 417 ⟶ 399:
 
----
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Compared to his appearance in the first game, Sou-Banchou, plays a far bigger role in the second game and is involved {{spoiler|in Akane's storyline}}. He even has a character profile and a lot of dialogue which he did not have at all in the first game.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: He is actually the same Banchou that the player could fight in the first game.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him Sou-Bancho]]: His actual name is {{spoiler|Kaoru Ichimonji (the brother of Akane)}} but everyone addresses him by his title.
* [[The Four Gods]]: Among the Four Heaven Kings, he's Seiryû. The back of his [[Badass Longcoat]] is decorated with a dragon.
* [[Japanese Delinquents]]
* [[Jerkass]]
Line 427 ⟶ 409:
* {{spoiler|[[My Sister Is Off-Limits]]: He is very protective of his younger sister Akane.}}
** {{spoiler|This is explained after the player goes through the "[[Playing House]]" event with Akane in Childhood mode. Turns out Akane became broken hearted after the protagonist moved away, and since then her brother swore to punish any boy who hurts her.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Bound and Gagged|Put In A Sack And Gagged]]: In the [[Funny Background Event]] of the last shot of Akane's Happy Ending.}}
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The "Four Heaven Kings", of which he's the leader.
* {{spoiler|[[Relationship Sabotage]]: He constantly tries to do this between Akane and the protagonist, but fails each time.}}
* [[The Four Gods]]: Among the Four Heaven Kings, he's Seiryû. The back of his [[Badass Longcoat]] is decorated with a dragon.
 
== Kinniku-Banchou ==
Line 439 ⟶ 420:
 
----
* [[The Four Gods]]: Among the Four Heaven Kings, he's [[Turtle Power|Genbu]]. He wears a iron turtle shell on his back at all times, and a picture in the ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Illustrations'' book parodies the Genbu legend, with him carrying on his back the whole cast of the game.
 
* [[Giant Mook]]
* [[Graceful Loser]]
Line 445 ⟶ 426:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Kinniku" means "Muscle" in Japanese.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 469 ⟶ 448:
 
----
 
* [[Badass]]
* [[Diagonal Cut]]: He's a Kendo Club Master like Junichiro, and thus has the same [[Limit Break]] as him.

* [[Hachimaki]]
 
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: This [[Nigh Invulnerable]] opponent can't be defeated, and you won't receive any damage either; the only way to win is to wait until Baito-Banchou suddenly interrupts the fight to go to a part-time job.
