History Characters / RaiseWaTaninGaIi

* [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Guy]]: Kirishima goes with Yoshino everywhere to the point where she calls him a stalker, but it turns out [[spoiler:it's all a ruse. Yoshino's grandfather hired Kirishima to be both her bodyguard and teach her a lessoni n manners. Yoshino apparently has a bad personality, according to her grandfather, who tells Kirishima to freak her out enouogh to get her to flee back to Osaka. It backfires spectacularly when Yoshino not only gives as good as she gets, but Kirishima falls in love with her for real.]]

* HormoneAddledTeenager: According to the artist extras, Kirishima lost his virginity at 12 had had 4 or 5 older girls on the side, which is in keeping with the behavior of yakuza members but also might be an effect of trauma he experienced as a preteen. In canon he has at least one 'sex friend', a gravure model named Ayano, who has dialog (Volume 2).
* NoSocialSkills: Kids whose part time job is beating up thugs for protection money don't tend to be well-adjusted.
** As a child Kirishima is shown to have a strong sense of justice, and people admire him for his looks, but he seems to lack any sort of socialization and doesn't know how to further relationships with his peers beyond basic conversations about school or the weather. When his dad asks if he can meet Kirishima's friends at a classroom openhouse, Kirishima is deeply confused because he has 'classmates', but that's it. He actually lies about his birthday to one of his classmates who tries to get close to him. So awkward.

** Kirishma literally asked his great uncle how to make friends, and when Gaku told him the only kid Kirishima's age he knew was Renji's grandkid - someone Kirishima would not be able to meet unless he was involved in the yakuza somehow - Kirishima asked if he could live with Gaku so that he could meet her. 'Her' turning out to be Yoshino.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Lots of stuff going on there. [[spoiler:Aside from the latent masochism, Kirishima basically made himself into a junior yakuza just to get close to Yoshino. He spent years on this - getting the tattoos, cultivating contacts and relationships with older women (which was implied to be something like compensated dating - and eventually being recruited by Renji to be her bodyguard.]]
* UnstoppableRage: The best way to get Kirishima going is to threaten Yoshino. That's the best way to get a fork in the eye, as one thug finds out. Averted when Yoshino is present because she seems actually to be able to stop him.

* TookALevelInBadass: After Kirishima throws her over, Yoshino disappears for two weeks and comes back to school with a bag of cash that she says she got for selling a kidney-- since he told her to sell her body. She drops it on Kirishima's desk with the invitation to do his worst, and warns the girls who accosted her for her connection to Kirishima that she'll take them down with her if they continue to bully her. Kirishima responds by professing his undying love for her.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Loathes hospitals. It's yet to be made clear why, but the girl just will not to them.

* [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Guy]]: Kirishima goes with Yoshino everywhere, and it's either because he's obsessed with Yoshino-- who he saw at a funeral when they were both preteens. It's unclear whether it's because he has a deal with Renji to protect her or whether he really is crazy. And not just about her.
* TheCracker: Kirishima clones Yoshino's phones and turns on the GPS, plants a GPS in her electronic dictionary, and either breaks into or otherwise electronically stalks her so he can keep tabs on her. [[spoiler:It's not entirely clear if this is just for the sake of his deal with Renji or because there is something very wrong with him.]]
* DeathSeeker: In the first volume after Kirishima drops his façade he suggests Yoshino either prostitute herself to make him some money, and then encourages her to go back to Osaka and report that he did because it might start a war in which he'd be killed. Something he says he looks forward to. Kid ain' right.

* ManChild: Kirishima has very little in the way of emotional reasoning, possibly due to a lack of socialization from ages 12 to 17, when he was sent to live with his great uncle and trained to be a junior member of Gaku's group. Kids whose part time job is beating up thugs for protection money don't tend to be well-adjusted.

* ClingyJealousBoy: Kirishima goes with Yoshino everywhere, and it's either because he's obsessed with Yoshino-- who he saw at a funeral when they were both preteens. It's unclear whether it's because he has a deal with Renji to protect her or whether he really is crazy. And not just about her.

* CoolBigSis (also ParentalSubstitute): For Shouma.

* CuteClumsyGirl (also LeeroyJenkins):
** Upon realizing that Shouma and Kirishima are probably somewhere fighting, picks up a baseball bat and goes after them.
** During the Osaka arc, Yoshino runs away from a pursuing thug, reserves a bicycle and attempts to crash into the guy to throw him off Kirishima's tail, and misses.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Loathes hospitals. Not sure why, but the girl just will not with them.

* AloofBigBrother:
** Sometimes seems to veer into AnnoyingYoungerSibling when he skips school to meet Yoshino in Osaka at Obun or lets Kirishima goad him into a fight.
** Two years older than Yoshino and while she initially, and sometimes still is, a voice of reason and nurturing presence, he holds his own against Kirishima and in situations where Yoshino acts rashly. So also BigBrotherInstinct.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Shouma seems show moving and quiet but he's a pretty vicious fighter once provoked and is actually pretty smart.

* DeadpanSnarker: Shouma seems slow moving and quiet but he has a mouth on him.
** With Tsubaki. The two of them met by chance, according to an extra, when he walked in on her in the bathroom. Both were naked. Both were unimpressed.
** With Yoshino. If she gets smothery he gets snarky.
** In a fight. As with Tsubaki, Shouma snarks at his opponents whether it's to register his disgust at inadvertently touching some guy's permed hair or whatever.

* TheStoic: Particularly when forced to spend time with Kirishima and Yoshino. And also when Yoshino tries to get him to talk about his feelings.

* DeathSeeker: After suggesting Yoshino go back to Osaka he asks her to tell her grandfather about how Kirishima suggested Yoshino prostitute herself because he assumes Somei group members will try to hang him and he welcomes that.

* UnstoppableRage: The best way to get Kirishima going is to threaten Yoshino. That's the best way to get a fork in the eye, as one thug finds out. Subverted when Yoshino is around. Yoshino is the only one who seems to be able to actually stop him.

* TheCracker: Kirishima clones Yoshino's phones and turns on the GPS so he can keep tabs on her.
