Tokimeki Memorial/Characters/Girls Side 2: Difference between revisions

The main hero of the Hanegasaki Saga. Unlike most main heroes though Teru's personality is rather different. On the outside to everyone he appears as an all-rounded guy, good at studying, sports and other activities and outwardly friendly. However, in reality, this is a facade, as he does not want people to learn about the "real" Saeki. Only the heroine discovers his "real" personality which can be quite aloof yet kind at other times. He also works at Sangosho Cafe with his grandfather, and the heroine finds this out upon her first meeting with him as she needs directions for the school. Later, Teru recognizes her at school and takes her to one side not to reveal the fact he has a part-time job (again relating to his facade at school). In reality though, Teru is a good guy at heart and {{spoiler|much like most of the main characters from the ''Tokimeki Memorial'' series, he knew the heroine when they were younger and made a promise to meet her again}}.

* [[Chick Magnet]]: Deconstructed; Teru finds keeping his horde of fangirls pleased ''exhausting'', but can't bring himself to refuse them for fear it would cause hurt feelings, jealousy, and even more of a hassle.

* {{spoiler|[[Cruel to Be Kind]]}}/{{spoiler|[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Just before graduation, if Teru is in love with the heroine, he will phone her up and ask to meet at the beach, where he tells her he's moving far away. He harshly tells her that the way he's behaved around her has all been a lie and that she should just forget about him. Considering his behavior up to that point, it's not hard to guess the reason for his outburst.}}.

* [[The Perfectionist]]: As mentioned above, Teru strives to be perfect (or at least as close as he can get) in everything he does. Unlike other ''Tokimeki'' protagonists, however, he has to put in a lot of effort to [[Broken Ace|keep up these appearances]].

* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Why he quit baseball. {{spoiler|He punched an opposing team's pitcher at a middle school game, and got his team disqualified from the championship.}}.

* [[Nice Guy]]: His stoic nature makes him seem aloof at first, but he's unfailingly kind and gentle towards the heroine, and even in the earliest stages of a relationship, he's the least inclined to be critical.

* [[Sleep Cute]]/[[Beautiful Dreamer]]: Implied in one of his CG events, when Shiba and the heroine both nod off while on a date at the park. Shiba, who wakes up first, says that he's "gained something" from the experience (presumably the [[Beautiful Dreamer|opportunity to watch the heroine sleeping]].).

As a member of the student council, Hikami is a "textbook" person who believes very strongly in following the rules and takes enforcing them quite seriously. He is also the cousin of Reiichi Himuro from the first ''Girl's Side'' game. Like [[Stern Teacher|his cousin]], he's a very practical person and can be quite strict where school rules are concerned, but unlike Himuro, he's also quite friendly and kind towards the heroine.

* [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]]: Hikami's booksmart nature and his occasionally over-[[Hot-Blooded|enthusiastic]] attitude drive his peers away from him, resulting in a lack of friends and social skills. {{spoiler|If the heroine takes his route, he gets elected as Student Council president and earns the respect of his classmates.}}.

* [[In the Blood]]: Hikami is related to Reiichi Himuro, the homeroom teacher of the first ''Tokimeki Girl's Side'' game. Both of them have blue(ish) hair, wear glasses, stick strictly to the rules, and have a tendency to become flustered easily once they develop enough affection for the protagonist. Must run in the family.

Kounoshin Hariya or [[In-Series Nickname|Harry as he likes to be nicknamed]] is the male equivalent of Yuko Asahina from the first ''Tokimeki Memorial'' game. He's part of a rock band and is very conscientious about the latest fashion trends and styles. He also is based on the standard of modern youths in Japan and uses a lot of "youth slang".

Christopher is an art loving student originally from England. As such his Japanese isn't all that great. He is also the heir to a big family business, although he is very uneasy about it as he does not feel he is prepared to handle it.

* [[Senpai Sempai-Kohai|Kohai]]{{context|reason=To who?}}

In stark contrast to Reiichi Himuro from the first ''Girl's Side'' game, Takafumi is the heroine's smart, friendly teacher. He is very popular amongst the female students who nickname him "Waka-sama". He's also the supervisor for the track and field club.

* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Waka-sama." Some students also call him "Waka-chan.".

* [[Intertwined Fingers]]: {{spoiler|His Christmas CG.}}.

'''Wakaouji:''' I'm sorry. But hey, [[All Men Are Perverts|all men are wolves]]. Therefore, be careful. }}

The secret character. Kazuyuki meets the heroine by accident when they take shelter together from the rain on the way home from school.

One of two exclusive guys in the DS version of the game. Taro is the heroine's senior by a year. At first, he is very courteous and kind towards the heroine, but it soon transpires that his real persona is extremely flirtatious and has many girlfriends.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Taro only treats love like a game because {{spoiler|he was played with, used and then dumped by his ex-girlfriend. The messy breakup left him afraid to open up to anyone else for fear of being hurt again.}}. Whether or not this excuses his behavior is debatable.

* [[Senpai Sempai-Kohai]]: He's the senpai to the heroine's kohai although he doesn't like the use of the -senpai honorific and asks the heroine to henceforth call him Taro-kun.
