History Characters / CivilianPianist

* FashionDesigner: Actually stated in-story to design and make all the work uniforms in Nagareboshi Cafe. It's because of Hikari that Tomoko has such a diverse wardrobe of kimono dresses and hair ribbons.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Judai's worst fear when it comes to his daughter getting involved in ninja affairs. It also serves as a justification to his status as the OverprotectiveDad, because he doesn't want Tomoko getting hurt.

* OverprotectiveDad: Justified considering his past in the Second War and Tomoko's luck getting involved with Team Minato.

* FriendshipSong: Oh, there are a ''bunch'' of songs out there that Tomoko has played on the piano for her friends. Examples include ''This Game'' from ''Anime/NoGameNoLife'' for Kakashi, ''All of Me'' from the Piano Guys for Obito and Rin, and so on.

* WhatAnIdiot: Somehow when pursuing [[spoiler: Hikari's hand in marriage, ''skipping the dating phase for crying out loud'', he didn't realize that 1) she's married to Judai, or 2) she's already a happy mother raising Tomoko.]] Also when attacking [[spoiler: Tomoko in both ''Civilian Pianist'' and ''The Sea and Stars'' because the girl was ''surrounded by ninja''.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: WHY would you insult [[spoiler: Namikaze Minato AND his team when you want to go in the Chunin Exams with them?]] His combat style shown in Chapter 32 shows shades of this as well, to where even [[ButtMonkey Obito]] '''and''' [[NiceGirl Rin]] couldn't stand him!

* {{Always Someone Better}}: How Tomoko sees herself sometimes. She doubts her abilities so much in those moments to the point of Kakashi having to say something.

* {{Cheerful Child}}

* CuddleBug
* {{Double Consciousness}}: Something that Tomoko struggles with. She's still herself, but at moments can be influenced a lot by her past as Vy. [[spoiler: The traumatic memories of her past death don't help one bit.]]
* [[spoiler: {{The Empath}}: Makes sense considering how her yin chakra seems to be reacting when she's playing piano... Also subverted since she doesn't MEAN for it to act up this way. She honestly plays piano with earnest dedication, and her chakra just... responds to it.]]
* {{Friendship Song}}: Oh, there are a ''bunch'' of songs out there that Tomoko has played on the piano for her friends. Examples include ''This Game'' from {{Anime/No Game No Life}} for Kakashi, ''All of Me'' from the Piano Guys for Obito and Rin, and so on.

* {{The Heart}}: How Tomoko is shaping up to be for BOTH Team Minato and Nagareboshi Cafe. [[spoiler: To where after the drunk man incident, she had to take a break from the piano. Clientele for Nagareboshi Cafe actually '''dropped''', even with Judai and Hikari's efforts, because people missed her.]]
* {{Innocent Blue Eyes}}
* {{Innocent Bystander}}: Subverted. Even though Tomoko is a civilian, she doesn't want to stand around waiting for canon to happen. Instead, she tries her best to NOT just be a bystander, playing piano and helping whoever comes her way. [[spoiler: Even after the 'drunk man incident', we find out that she hates being useless and is currently undergoing some training to learn self-defense.]]

* {{Must Make Amends}}: The reader finds out in later chapters [[spoiler: specifically Chapter 21 with that past flashback]] that something happened to Vy which scarred her so much to the point of making Tomoko the way she is today. She works as hard as she can to atone for that day and to make up for the fact that she couldn't even say goodbye to her loved ones before dying as Vy.

* {{Nice Girl}}: A lot of the ninja cast were initially surprised with how welcoming she was towards them.
* {{Not Growing Up Sucks}}: The ''Sea and Stars'' version of her actually has a sore spot in her being short, because when compared to a six-year old Keisuke Gekkō, Tomoko only reaches Kei's nose - much to her chagrin.
* {{Platonic Declaration of Love}}: How Tomoko goes about showing her friends and family that she cares aside from hugs. [[spoiler: Actually justified since Vy died without being able to say goodbye to her family and loved ones, which Tomoko still regrets. {{Word of God}} confirmed in an Author's Note that Tomoko's constant saying "I love you" to Kakashi and others is because of that experience. Tomoko wants them to know that she cares and truly does love them in that platonic way.]] Hinted at possibly becoming something more between her and Kakashi in the future.

* {{The Pollyanna}}: Always has some form of smile on her face, whether it's a big grin or a shy little smile. Which is why when she's depressed, it really shocks her loved ones.

* {{Stepford Smiler}}: On occasion when she's really down. Unfortunately, or fortunately for her, everyone is able to see through it to help her out.

* {{You Are Better Than You Think You Are}}: What a lot of Tomoko's pep talks boil down to. So far, they've had their desired effect [[spoiler: with Kakashi opening up to her more and Sakumo finding the resolve to keep living, even in a world that currently rejects him]]

* {{Broken Ace}}: Surprisingly averted so far. Tomoko being his first friend says a lot already [[spoiler: and with Sakumo alive and well, he's not as broken as his canon self would've been at this time.]]

* {{Berserk Button}}: Do NOT attempt to insult or harm Tomoko in front of him. [[spoiler: The Hitoshi father and son duo learned this the hard way.]]

* {{Cute Little Fangs}}: Inherited from his mom. One of the first things Tomoko notices when he takes off his mask.
* {{Deadpan Snarker}}
* {{Declaration of Protection}}: Kakashi to Tomoko [[spoiler: after the whole ordeal with her memories being found out by the Third Hokage]] on top of the Hokage Monument in Chapter 27.

* {{Jerk with a Heart of Gold}}: More emphasis on the ''gold'' thanks to Tomoko's influence.

* {{Took a Level in Kindness}}: BIG time. Thanks to Tomoko, he doesn't actively antagonize Obito like his canon counterpart does, [[spoiler: and even stands up for his team when Satoru is trash talking everybody too much.]]

* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: Thankfully, unlike his canon counterpart, he doesn't lose his ''entire'' right side for Kakashi to get his Sharingan. Instead, he only loses his left arm, and with Rin not kidnapped, he doesn't die from the blood loss.]]

* {{Butt Monkey}}: Obito isn't as beat up as he is in canon, but this still applies.

* [[spoiler: HandicappedBadass: Since Chapter 44 - losing an arm didn't stop him from killing Kakko.]]

* {{Combat Medic}}: Established already in canon, but with Tomoko recently buying her a set of senbon and matching belt from Jim's shop in Chapter 37, the combat part may be more emphasized as time goes on.

* {{Healing Hands}}: As expected, considering her status as the medic of Team Minato. [[spoiler: Even heals Tomoko's bruises after the 'drunk man incident'.]]
* {{The Medic}}
* NiceGirl

* {{Silk Hiding Steel}}: Much like her canon counterpart, this Rin doesn't stand around. [[spoiler: In the group fight with Satoru, Rin actively sets up traps to catch the swordsman, even setting a small tornado to throw him off guard, before finishing him off in a team attack right out of the [[VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm4 fourth Ultimate Ninja Storm game]] with Kakashi and Obito.]]

A figure that shows up in Tomoko's mindscape when things go wrong. Is actually a SplitPersonality that materialized in order to help Tomoko with the burden of her memories. {{Deadpan Snarker}} and {{Mama Bear}} rolled into one. [[spoiler: Actually takes the full appearance of Tomoko's past self, Vy, in symbolism of Tomoko being unable to let go of the past.]]

* {{Troll}}

* {{Badass Bystander}}: When something happens in Nagareboshi, do NOT expect Judai to sit around. [[spoiler: He will take out his chakra sword and revert to a ninja mindset without hesitation if it means protecting his loved ones.]]
* {{Berserk Button}}: Harming ANY of his family, whether that is physically or emotionally. Includes his wife and Tomoko, [[spoiler: and as of Chapter 36, Kakashi as well]].

* {{Glowing Eyes of Doom}}: When Judai gets angry, Tomoko describes his eyes turning from brown to a heterochromatic, glowing red-orange and green. Serves as a call-back to his ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' counterpart.
* {{Good is Not Soft}}
* {{Good Parents}}: One of the many reasons as to why Tomoko didn't get into as much trouble in the beginning. [[spoiler: This goes on to extend to Kakashi and the rest of Team Minato as well.]]
* {{Hidden Depths}}: Self-explanatory with his status as retired ninja. Even when talking about his past to Tomoko, the little girl at least recognizes that he's not saying everything.

* {{Offscreen Moment of Awesome}}: Said to have been a war hero in the Second Shinobi World War, powerful enough to even scare Minato for a moment in earlier chapters. A retired ninja. Scared. The. '''Yellow Flash'''. That says a lot already.
* {{Overprotective Dad}}: Justified considering his past in the Second War and Tomoko's luck getting involved with Team Minato.
* {{Papa Wolf}}: Towards Tomoko.
* RetiredBadass

The other co-owner of Nagareboshi Cafe, violinist, and Tomoko's mom. Met Judai back when she was 20 years old, and [[spoiler: had her own {{Offscreen Moment of Awesome}} telling off the Third Hokage on his treatment of Judai during the Second Shinobi World War]]. Currently acts as the main go-between for the Hoshino Family and much of the Nagareboshi staff.

* GoodParents

* {{Proper Lady}}: Is built up to be this considering Tomoko describes her as the go-between for the Nagareboshi staff, Hoshino Family, and ninja/civilian clientele. Also somewhat subverted considering Hikari is not against calling people out when things happen. [[spoiler: Referencing her {{Offscreen Moment of Awesome}} chewing out the Third Hokage for example.]]
* {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}: Is this to both Judai, Tomoko, [[spoiler: and even Sakumo and Minato themselves when ninja stuff pops up.]]

* {{Team Mom}}: Expanding a bit of her role as a mother to Team Minato as Tomoko deepens the friendship between them. Even described in Kakashi's ANBU Report to make bentos for Kakashi to bring along for training sessions. Kakashi even goes on to start calling her "Aunt Hikari" by the time the kids are all 10.

* {{Good Parents}}: To Kakashi [[spoiler: and after Chapter 13, a surrogate uncle to Tomoko. She even calls him "Uncle Sakumo", or ''Sakumo-jichan''.]]
* {{Nice Guy}}

* {{Papa Wolf}}: Is shown to be this as of Chapter 36.
* [[spoiler: RetiredBadass]]

* [[spoiler:{{Spared by the Adaptation}}]]

* {{The Ace}}

* {{Broken Pedestal}}: Was already hinted at being this for Judai due to his time in the Second Shinobi World War. [[spoiler: Made worse when he started getting involved in the investigation of Tomoko's memories and made the vow of silence to NOT include Judai OR Hikari.]]

* GentleGiant

!!Danzo
The head of ROOT, he has yet to make an actual appearance in the story, but various side stories and mentions through other characters show that the war hawk still has an influence.

* BigOlEyebrows

* {{Hot Blooded}}: To the point of freaking Tomoko AND Kakashi out in Chapter 12.

* TheBlacksmith

* {{Put on a Bus}}: Wasn't mentioned that much after his first official appearance in Chapter 21.
** {{The Bus Came Back}}: Does come back in later chapters and his interactions with Tomoko seem to be building up to the possibility of his making something for her. [[spoiler: Realized in Chapter 42.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk

* CantTakeCriticism
* [[spoiler: EvilIsPetty]]

* [[spoiler:{{Identical Stranger}}: Which did NOT go well with Tomoko.]]

[[/folder]]

* {{Adult Fear}}: Just one: Tomoko ever getting involved in the dark sides of the ninja world to the point of his not being able to help her. He's done a good job so far keeping her out of it. [[spoiler: And then Inoichi Yamanaka had to see the Nine Tails Attack in Tomoko's memories in her first therapy session and go on to report it to the Third Hokage...]]

* {{Adult Fear}}: Actually justified considering Tomoko's luck getting involved with ninjas. The possibility of ninja targeting her own daughter [[spoiler: even in their home cafe? Hikari was already tearing up by the end of Chapter 18 just at the IDEA of Tomoko dying.]] Hinted at in her own interlude.

* {{Must Make Amends}}: The reader finds out in later chapters [[spoiler: specifically Chapter 21 with that past flashback]] that something happened to Vy which scarred her so much to the point of making Tomoko the way she is today. She works as hard as she can to atone for that day and to make up for the fact that she couldn't even say goodbye to her loved ones before dying as Vy.

* {{Workaholic}}: Later chapters of Tomoko's stories delve into how her tendency to work hard for the people she cares about result in fatigue and lack of social energy. In ''The Sea and Stars'', it's said that she works at the cafe, takes Kei's little brother Hayate to and from the Academy, and helps Rin out at the hospital in the span of a usual week.

* TheEndJustifiesTheMeans: How he goes about explaining his role in [[spoiler: Tomoko's memories to Hisako. As expected, she didn't [[WhatTheHellHero take too kindly to it.]]]]

* [[spoiler: BiTheWay: Chapter 42 shows this, because before Hikari, Judai actually loved a man many ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' fans know as ''Johan Anderson''.]]

* {{Hair Decorations}}: Has a ribbon bow matching her daughter on her left hair strand in concept art.

* {{Hair Decorations}}: Has a ribbon tied in a bow on her left hair strand (at least from an outsider's point of view - it's really on her right). Depending on what season it is, it's a different color. Green for spring, red for winter, white for autumn/special occasions, and orange for the summer. Concept art has also featured a blue hair ribbon.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler: Something that Satoru shares with his father.]]

* {{Squee!}}: Just put her charge with her best friend [[spoiler: post Chapter 49]] and watch it unfold.

* Squee!: Just put her charge with her best friend [[spoiler: post Chapter 49]] and watch it unfold.
* Troll

** In ''The Sea and Stars'', Kei is the only one who currently refers to Tomoko as "Tomo-chan", and judging by the [[TearsOfJoy reaction]], it will be only Kei who gets that honor.

* TraumaButton: Not explicitly said, but any kind of negative yelling, and/or loud insults in her direction can trigger some of ''Vy's leftover wounds,'' and the results are never pretty.

Our reincarnation-displaced protagonist and the titular ''Civilian Pianist''. Has to deal with the burden of her past memories while living a new life, essentially caught being Tomoko and Vy as time goes on. Also attempts to fix canon in her own way, playing piano for whoever comes to Nagareboshi Cafe. [[spoiler: As of Chapter 46, she's done a pretty good job, even if she doesn't believe it that much.]]

The black sheep of the Uchiha Clan and one of the two Genin of the newly formed Team Minato. Meets Tomoko soon after her first meeting with Kakashi, providing a bit of {{Funny}} moments throughout the story.

* {{Hero of Another Story}}: In another fan fiction titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12280792/1/Little-Wolf-of-the-Wasteland Little Wolf of the Wasteland]]'' (which is written by the ''real-life Josh''), Josh actually goes on an adventure of his own after Vy's death, going through reincarnation to land in a world that is a crossover between ArmoredCore and FallOut.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Initial reviewers were intrigued by his character before later chapters had his reception turn mixed at best and negative at its worst. This is why he is the only CP character to not officially reappear in RecursiveFanfiction, instead being written out.
