History Characters / KunioKun

* AdaptationalWimp: Ken was the penultimate boss of ''Kunio-tachi no Banka'', with a moveset and combat prowess comparable to Kunio's. In ''River City Girls 2'' he's the first boss, and aside from the ability to Flash Step around, he's otherwise much weaker and less imposing than his debut. His martial arts are slow, ineffectual, and clumsy, he cries and cowers frequently when injured, and is reliant on his bodyguards for most of his more dangerous attacks.

A dishelved and unsettling man with a connection to Yamada.

* TheBerserker: His fighting style. Yamada was even drawn to him after witnessing one of his rampages.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: They use baseballs as bludgegoing weapons if they don't decide to throw it at you.

* HurricaneKick: Their speciality. It is also useful for juggling an opponent due to their attack being aerial in nature.

* BoringButPractical: They don't have combos and only swings their baton once, however, a hit from them will always knock anyone down and that's all they need.
* CombatPragmatist: They lob tear gas grenades when fighting.

* TheAhnold: They are all Terminator-expies that make Arnie noises, an imposing physique, and a buzzcut. The one thing missing are their motorcycles.

* PaperThinDisguise: Their attempts at disguising as humans need improvement as their movements are more robotic, their idle animation has them sway their torso like a robot, and their neck extends if they are knocked back. [=64-RC14=] has even forgotten to put on his synthetic skin, revealing his metal body. In ''2'', [=J3-R3MY=] has also neglected to don synthetic skin, and while [=64-RC14=] actually wears his skin now, it's damaged in places and shows his metal endoskeleton in places(while also showing he and [=J3-R3MY=] are diffrent types of robot).

* TruerToTheText: DownplayedTrope. While Linda got AdaptationalAttractiveness or AdaptationalUgliness depending on the version of ''Double Dragon'', ''River City Girls" Linda is based on her original athletic/punk design, albeit with straight hair instead of a perm.

* MightyGlacier: Their attacks are pretty slow and you can avoid it easily, however, their hammers pack a huge punch and will always knock anyone down if they land a hit on them.

* PsychoSerum: Turbo Juice, a buyable food item, is this in excessive quantities, and drinking too much of it, despite warnings from his momma not to, is how Scum became what he is now.

* DenserAndWackier: They are much less menacing compared to their counterparts from the main ''Kunio-kun'' continuity and rather than attack with knives, they are [[BareFistedMonk Bare-Fisted Monks]] that utilize a karateka fighting style.
* DemonicPossession: Osamu's bio reveal that he is possessed by an ancient oni that gives him an enhanced strength at the cost of giving him an unsatiable lust for combat, though the way it's written implies he may have been [[BloodKnight very eager to fight]] even before then. His face, at first glance can even be mistaken for an oni mask until you take a closer look.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: The yakuza are normally a male dominated society. Under Sabuko's leadership, they've also started recruiting women, who are then trained as assassins.

* UniqueEnemy: In the first game, you only fight them on two occassions. Averted in ''2'' where they are commonly found on the graveyard.

* {{Jerkass}}: Misako is unpleasant to basically every NPC in ''River City Girls'' and its sequel, no matter how little they might actually deserve it. The other playable characters aren't spared from her snark either.
* JerkassToOne: Downplayed. She's virtually unpleasant to everyone she meets (including her friends) but she despises Mihoko even moreso than the others. Best showcased in ''River City Girls 2'' where, [[spoiler:of the hostages kidnapped by Sabuko, Mihoko is the only hostage who Misako have zero problems ''[[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked leaving her to die by the bomb's explosion]]'', and had to be convinced by Kyoko to even bother saving her.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may sometimes be a jerk, but he is a honestly kind and stands up for others against bullies.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Their parents accidentally got sucked into another dimension due to a botched spell by their father. They grew up fending for themself.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Of a sort; After getting defeated they'll sell powerful accessory items.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: They're a neutral party that only offers aid for money, because apparently magic supplies are expensive.

* PunchClockVillain: They treat Ken as just an annoying client who pays well and otherwise cares little for his plans.

* SolitarySorceress: They're way out past a forest bewitched to misdirect any travellers in circles, past a field of enchanted mist with the opening to their hideout animated to bite on any intruders. Their theme song, "Get Off My Lawn" is entirely about how they want any trespassers to leave. They're also very annoyed at the protagonists for somehow missing all the signs that they want to be left alone.
