| 11 | [[WMG:'''Main Protagonist''' / '''Kouichi Watase''' / '''Takeru Iwase''']] |
| 12 | !!!Voiced by: Creator/HiroshiKamiya (Kouichi Watase in the Drama [=CDs=]) |
| 13 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kouichi_watase_2678.png]] |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The Player Avatar of the Hibikino Saga. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | An OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who lived his childhood days in Hibikino Town until he was 8. His family then suddenly moved away. Seven years later, he comes back to Hibikino for his High School time. He then meets again his childhood friend and crush Hikari Hinomoto, and soon becomes best friends with Takumi Sakaki and Junichiro Hokari. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Like his predecessor of ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'', Naoto Takami, he doesn't have a fixed name in the main games. However, he has two different (non-canon) names in other medias: in the Drama [=CDs=], his name is Kouichi Watase, and in the novel ''Kimi no Ushiro Sugata'', he's called Takeru Iwase. |
| 20 | ---- |
| 21 | Tropes associated with Main Protagonist / Kouichi Watase / Takeru Iwase: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * DiagonalCut: The result of his LimitBreak if he's a member of the Kendo Club and becomes one of its Masters. |
| 24 | * FeaturelessProtagonist: Little subversion in that he has brown hair, instead of black. |
| 25 | * HeroicMime: Just like Naoto: it's a variation of this trope, as he does speaks a lot with others characters, but he's the only one of the characters who's not voiced, as part of the Player Avatar thing. |
| 26 | * NiceGuy: He's the kind of guy who will always selflessly help the others, without taking care of his own feelings. This is what gets him all the girls to fall in love with him in the ''Substories'' and Drama CD storylines, and [[LoveHurts conversly hurt them a lot]], as this trait is combined with... |
| 27 | * ObliviousToLove: He is absolutely ''horrible'' in that aspect, even worse than Naoto of the first game. His obliviousness is mercilessly [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by every single character in the saga at one point or the other; you know it's ''that'' bad when even the owner of the restaurant Akane works part-time at, ''a minor character [[TheFaceless whose face is hidden]] just like the protagonist'', lampshades it as well. |
| 28 | * VictoriousChildhoodFriend: ''Very'' likely to become Hikari's, unlike Naoto with Shiori. He can also become this to other characters depending on if he met them in his childhood days, and scores them in the end. Among those characters are [[spoiler: Akane, Homura, Mei, Miho, and Miyuki]]. |
| 29 | ** UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Likely to happen with Kasumi if you don't play well enough, as her standards are very high. |

| 35 | [[WMG:'''Hikari Hinomoto''']] |
| 36 | !!!Voiced by: Creator/JunkoNoda |
| 37 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hikari_hinomoto.jpg]] |
| 38 | |
| 39 | The heroine of the Hibikino Saga. A sweet GenkiGirl who was quite the crybaby in her childhood, she loves sports and is a member of the Track & Field Club. She is childhood friends with the protagonist, but they were separated in their younger days. 8 years after this event, on School Enterance Day, they meet again. She's the main love interest of the protagonist at the start of the game. Her best friend is Kotoko Minaduki, and they know each other since Junior High. |
| 40 | ---- |
| 41 | Tropes associated with Hikari Hinomoto: |
| 42 | * AlliterativeName |
| 43 | * AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: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.]] |
| 44 | * BeautifulDreamer: [[spoiler: in the SnowedIn 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), in order to let her rest and to give her a surprise, he'll put them on her all while she sleeps.]] |
| 45 | * CoyGirlishFlirtPose: Her standard pose, when she's in Tokimeki Status. |
| 46 | * CrashIntoHello: When she and the protagonist meet again on first day of High School. |
| 47 | * EasierThanEasy: She’s the easiest character in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'' to get the ending of, in stark contrast to [[NintendoHard the previous game’s heroine, Shiori]]. |
| 48 | * GenkiGirl: If her hobbies and overall personnality didn't get you the hint on this, remember that the flower associated with her in numerous official artworks is [[SunnySunflowerDisposition the Sunflower]]. |
| 49 | * GirlNextDoor: She and the main protagonist live in the houses right next to each other, which is especially obvious during the Childhood Event. |
| 50 | * GreenEyedMonster: the whole point of her Childhood Mode event "Jealousy~". |
| 51 | ** Some gamers have reported that because she tends to reach "tokimeki" state so easily, she makes it difficult for the player to go after other girls (i.e. she bombs the player on a dime). |
| 52 | * HoldingHands: 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. |
| 53 | %% * IdiotHair |
| 54 | * ImportantHaircut: She cut her hair just before the start of the main game thinking she'd never see her childhood friend again [[spoiler: though she [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange grows it long again]] in her ending of ''Memories Ringing On'']]. |
| 55 | * ImageSong: 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"). |
| 56 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: 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]]. |
| 57 | * MeaningfulName: Her name litterally means "[[GenkiGirl the light under the sun]]" in Japanese. |
| 58 | %% * PassionateSportsGirl |
| 59 | * SandInMyEyes: Uses this excuse in her ''Memories Ringing On'' route to cover her [[TearsOfJoy tears of relief]], [[spoiler: after the protagonist clears the misunderstanding caused by the NotWhatItLooksLike 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)]]. |
| 60 | * SnowedIn: [[spoiler: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.]] |
| 61 | * TakingTheBullet: Her LimitBreak. It activates when the enemy uses a LimitBreak 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 "ThisIsUnforgivable!", and enters in an UnstoppableRage that dramatically ups his Attack Power. |
| 62 | * TryingNotToCry: [[spoiler:Played utterly straight in her Ending, as part of her AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. The scene is emotionally powerful thanks to Creator/JunkoNoda's superb performance, and that you can see Hikari's eyes progressively welling up with tears as she speaks.]] |
| 63 | * VictoriousChildhoodFriend: ''Very'' likely to become one in the main game, and [[spoiler: [[OfficialCouple becomes one]]]] in both the Drama [=CDs=] and [[{{Novelization}} the novel]] ''Kimi no Ushiro Sugata''. |
| 64 | * WithThisRing: The toy ring the protagonist bought her in their childhood days; [[MementoMacGuffin she cherishes it so much]], it's an integral part of her storyline. See the trope's page for more details. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | [[WMG:'''Kotoko Minaduki''']] |
| 67 | !!!Voiced by: Mami Kosuge |
| 68 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kotoko_minaduki.jpg]] |
| 69 | |
| 70 | Best friend of Hikari Hinomoto. A very traditional Japanese girl who's averse to anything foreign, to the point that the smell of curry will make her sneeze; as such, she's a member of the Tea Ceremony Club. She cares very deeply for Hikari's well being, to the point of making sure the protagonist is being good to Hikari. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | Kotoko holds a long history of [[TheScrappy Scrappiness]] in the fandom, having always been voted the weakest character of this game in both Japan and online Western polls. |
| 73 | ---- |
| 74 | Tropes associated with Kotoko Minaduki: |
| 75 | * BerserkButton: Anything foreign related, but especially curry. Also, hurting Hikari's feelings. |
| 76 | * CultureClash: 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''. |
| 77 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler: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 long hair. Quite interesting that their hair lengths are switched in the present.]] |
| 78 | * ImageSong: Seven of them, plus a duet one with Hikari. Her main song is "Suki to Ienakute" (= "[[CannotSpitItOut Unable To Say 'I love You']]"). |
| 79 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Woo boy, she’s the poster girl for this trope in the whole series! |
| 80 | * TheMatchmaker: She actively wants her best friend Hikari to hook with the protagonist, but... |
| 81 | * MatchmakerCrush: ...If the protagonist successfully pursues Kotoko, it'll fall into this trope, despite how much Kotoko resists this. |
| 82 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseRomanization Nihon-shiki "Minaduki" vs. Hepburn "Minazuki"]]; official guidebooks and merchandise systematically use "Minaduki", but the name's pronunciation is "Minazuki". |
| 83 | ** Possibly a case of FridgeBrilliance: Given Kotoko's personality, she would have supported ''wholeheartedly'' the "Minaduki" romanization, as the Nihon-Shiki system was created by Japanese, for Japanese, as an answer to the western Hepburn system. |
| 84 | * {{Tsundere}}: A shining example of Type A. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | [[WMG:'''Kasumi Asou''']] |
| 87 | !!!Voiced by: Misa Torii |
| 88 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kasumi_asou.jpg]] |
| 89 | |
| 90 | Childhood friend of both the protagonist and Hikari, she's their big sister figure. Being a few years older than the main cast, she's also their homeroom teacher in the main game. |
| 91 | ---- |
| 92 | Tropes associated with Kasumi Asou: |
| 93 | %%* CoolBigSis |
| 94 | %%* HotForStudent |
| 95 | * ImageSong: 8 of them, the main one being "Arashi Ga Hajimaru Toki" (= "The Moment The Storm Begins") |
| 96 | %%* MayDecemberRomance |
| 97 | * NotAMorningPerson: She has an unusual habit of falling asleep - in her own homeroom class! |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[WMG:'''Miho Shirayuki''']] |
| 100 | !!!Voiced by: Hikari Tachibana |
| 101 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miho_shirayuki.png]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | A wistful, bookwormish girl who loves fairy tales and who believes in her destined "Prince Charming". She's a member of the Drama Club. |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | Tropes associated with Miho Shirayuki: |
| 106 | |
| 107 | %%* FortuneTeller: Her big hobby. |
| 108 | %%zce* TheIngenue |
| 109 | * MeaningfulName: Shirayuki, as in Shirayuki-hime (the Japanese name for Literature/SnowWhite). |
| 110 | * OurFairiesAreDifferent: She believes in fairies. |
| 111 | %%* PrinceCharming: She dreams to meet hers. |
| 112 | %%* SiblingYinYang: With Maho. |
| 113 | %%** PolarOppositeTwins |
| 114 | |
| 115 | [[WMG:'''Maho Shirayuki''']] |
| 116 | !!!Voiced by: Hikari Tachibana |
| 117 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maho_shirayuki.jpg]] |
| 118 | |
| 119 | Miho's younger twin sister. She studies at Kirameki High, [[spoiler:and is friends with Yuko Asahina]]. Unlike her sister, she's a down-to-earth, wild and playful character. [[EnsembleDarkhorse One of the most-liked characters of the game in the fandom]]. |
| 120 | ---- |
| 121 | Tropes associated with Maho Shirayuki: |
| 122 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: 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 TwinSwitch 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 FortuneTeller outfit at the School Festival to please the protagonist, and this works so well it also attracts all male attention around her in the process. Plus, [[spoiler: she becomes a model after graduating]]. |
| 123 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: At the end of the third year, if Maho likes you enough, she will start to dress in her own fashion style and change her hairstyle to reflect it, making the secret between the twins all the more obvious to everyone but the in-game player himself. |
| 124 | * GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Should anyone, including the protagonist, stumble upon the twins' game of [[TwinSwitch switcheroo]], she'll mercilessly beat the hell out of the poor slob to LaserGuidedAmnesia with a golf club, as demonstrated in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''. |
| 125 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: As a secret character, the fact she was Miho's twin sister was back then a big surprise, but nowadays it's known fact and even the official Konami site lists her along the regular characters. |
| 126 | * MagicMisfire: She tries to mimic Miho's magic {{Limit Break}}s in battle, but because fortune-telling isn't her hobby, all three of them backfire in spectaculary funny ways, damaging herself in one, you in another, and all fighters on the field in the last one. |
| 127 | * SecretCharacter: Notably, with the Emotional Voice System having data for almost every girl, Maho is impossible to do voice data for individually, since, being Miho's twin sister, they share E.V.S. data. |
| 128 | %%* SiblingYinYang: With Miho. |
| 129 | %%** PolarOppositeTwins |
| 130 | %%* ThemeTwinNaming |
| 131 | %%* TwinSwitch |
| 132 | |
| 133 | [[WMG:'''Miyuki Kotobuki''']] |
| 134 | !!!Voiced by: Creator/NaokoTakano |
| 135 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miyuki_kotobuki.jpg]] |
| 136 | |
| 137 | A ditzy, clumsy girl who seems to have been born under an unlucky star. Despite this, she tries to stay upbeat and does her best in whatever she does. She's best friends with Miho Shirayuki, and calls her "Miho-pyon" (an affectionate Miyuki-like [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics Japanese Honorific]]). She's also a member of the Tennis Club. |
| 138 | ----- |
| 139 | Tropes associated with Miyuki Kotobuki: |
| 140 | * AmusingInjuries: Which are always accompanied with InstantBandages. |
| 141 | %%* BornUnlucky |
| 142 | * 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''. |
| 143 | %%* CosmicPlaything |
| 144 | %%* CuteClumsyGirl |
| 145 | %%* GenkiGirl |
| 146 | %%* HairAntennae |
| 147 | * ImageSong: 6 of them, plus a duet with Akane and Homura. She's notable for being the only character with two Image Songs using the same music base, with different lyrics: "Happy Choudai!" and "Uehre~ Aare~ Uwie~ Goinn~?" (Horribly mangled GratuitousEnglish for "Where are we going?"). |
| 148 | * ImOkay!: "Daijoubi~, daijoubi~!" |
| 149 | %%* KindheartedCatLover |
| 150 | * MadeOfIron: Even the most disasterous situations seem to do no more injury to her than to leave her dazed and her hair frazzled, such as during the protagonist's first encounter with her [[spoiler: when she gets run over by a truck! And this will happen two more times before he can get his first date with her!]] |
| 151 | * OddFriendship: 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 [[BrokenBird 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]]! |
| 152 | * SleepCute: One of her Events, with LapPillow variety to boot. |
| 153 | %%* TheChewToy |
| 154 | %%* ThirdPersonPerson |
| 155 | * VerbalTic: "Han-ya!" |
| 156 | |
| 157 | [[WMG:'''Homura Akai''']] |
| 158 | !!!Voiced by: Creator/MotokoKumai |
| 159 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/homura_akai.png]] |
| 160 | |
| 161 | A lazy, tomboyish girl who somehow gets appointed to be the student council president, much to her chagrin. |
| 162 | ----- |
| 163 | Tropes associated with Homura Akai: |
| 164 | * ArchEnemy: Of Mei Ijuin, and this is mutual. |
| 165 | * BerserkButton: Do not call the school headmaster "Kazumi-chan" in front of her. Otherwise, face the wrath of her Kaichou Kick. |
| 166 | * BraggingThemeTune: Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avycjPEe-hE Music Video Clip]] in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Music Video Clips: Circus de Aimashou''. |
| 167 | * BullyHunter: She will not hesitate fighting and [[CurbStompBattle curbstomping]] [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquents]], even if they're twice her size, if she sees them bully people. |
| 168 | * CallingYourAttacks: Does this with her "Dragon Kick" and "Kaichou Kick". |
| 169 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Used to have really short hair as a kid and has grown it past her waist by the time the main game begins. |
| 170 | %%zce* FieryRedhead |
| 171 | %%zce* KickChick |
| 172 | * IdenticalGranddaughter: 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 NiceGuy he is!) his best friend]]. |
| 173 | * ImageSong: 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 BraggingThemeTune. |
| 174 | * LateForSchool: How the protagonist meets her. Homura, as the StudentCouncilPresident, guards the school's gates, and she catches him being late. The event also counts as IncomingHam, as Homura delivers a Franchise/SuperSentai InTheNameOfTheMoon speech when she sees him in fault. |
| 175 | * OtakuSurrogate: Her idea of a date at the movies is watching Mecha Anime. |
| 176 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite heir small stature, she frequently fights with people much taller than her ''and'' wins said fights too. |
| 177 | %%* RedArmbandOfLeadership |
| 178 | * SheCleansUpNicely: [[spoiler: In her Christmas special Event.]] |
| 179 | * StudentCouncilPresident: She's made one by the school headmaster against her will, supposedly to make her a better student. |
| 180 | * ThisIsADrill: Her weapon, coming from her favourite Mecha anime, [[ShowWithinAShow Go-Driller]]. |
| 181 | * {{Tomboy}}: She rarely wears girl's clothes. Also, [[spoiler: during her Childhood Event, she's mistaken for a boy by the protagonist]]. |
| 182 | |
| 183 | [[WMG:'''Mei Ijuin''']] |
| 184 | !!!Voiced by: Creator/YukariTamura |
| 185 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mei_ijuin.jpg]] |
| 186 | |
| 187 | Rei Ijuin's little sister. A computer nut with a haughty attitude, she's a year younger than the rest of the cast and thus will join the game in 2nd year as the protagonist's kohai, even though she ignores completely this convention and will order him and everyone else around, calling them with the rude pronoun "Kisama". She actually has a cute side, but she doesn't like to show it. She’s Homura's sworn enemy. |
| 188 | ---- |
| 189 | Tropes associated with Mei Ijuin: |
| 190 | * ArchEnemy: of Homura Akai, and '''HOW'''! |
| 191 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Mei ''demands'' total devotion to her if she falls in love with you. Best proof is the "You are my only 'slave'" Event : |
| 192 | -->'''Mei''': "You lowly girls other there! That guy is MY thing, don't use it as you like !!!" |
| 193 | %%* CustomUniform |
| 194 | * GotTheWholeWorldInMyHand: Does a variant of this in her Music Video Clip of the [=PS2=] game ''Circus de Aimashou'': in a sequence, the Earth is floating in front of her outstretched arms. |
| 195 | * ImageSong: 8 of them, as well as two duet ones, one with Akane and Homura, and one with Kasumi. Strangely, one of her two main songs (the other being "Super Special Day") and adaptation of her {{Leitmotif}} in the game, "The Most Electric Girl in the World", never got neither a full version, nor a proper CD release, being only available in ''Circus de Aimashou'', as Mei's short Music Video Clip. Also of note, is the fact that all of her songs' name are written in English, save for "Black Dahlia" (written in katakana) and "Rakuen". |
| 196 | * LethalChef: See Sakunoshin's SupremeChef entry below for more details. |
| 197 | * LonelyRichKid: In her childhood. |
| 198 | ** More specifically, [[spoiler: during her childhood years, the protagonist was one of the only kids whom she got to play with, and only once. He promised to meet her again, not knowing that his family was moving out of town the very next day and he wouldn't have time to say goodbye. This is presented as the reason for her contempt towards "untrustworthy" common people.]] |
| 199 | * LuminescentBlush: Her ''whole face'' becomes red when in {{Tsundere}} mode. |
| 200 | * MadScientist: She's [[TakeOverTheWorld Yuina]]’s disciple for crying out loud! |
| 201 | * OnionTears: In one of the Drama tracks of her ''Blooming Stories'' CD, she uses this [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial as an excuse for covering]] how the thought of the protagonist's selflessness towards her moved her. |
| 202 | * PickyEater: She ''hates'' onions. |
| 203 | * PrivateMilitaryContractors: The Ijuin Family Army. |
| 204 | %%* QueenIncognito: She liked to do this in her childhood, [[spoiler:and this is how she meets the protagonist in the Childhood part of the game]]. |
| 205 | * StudentCouncilPresident: She takes up the mantle after Homura graduates from Hibikino High, [[TakeThat promising, in a snide way towards Homura]], that under her presidency, she'll give a fun school life to the students. |
| 206 | %%* ThirdPersonPerson |
| 207 | * {{Tsundere}}: Being a very {{pride}}ful girl, she has memorable moments of this when in Tokimeki State, such as Valentine's Day, or the Event "You are my only 'slave'". |
| 208 | * VerbalTic: She ends all her sentences with "no da" and "na no da". In her childhood days, it was just "no" and "na no". |
| 209 | |
| 210 | [[WMG:'''Kaedeko Sakura''']] |
| 211 | !!!Voiced by: Chiaki Maeda |
| 212 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaedeko_sakura.jpg]] |
| 213 | |
| 214 | Manager of the Baseball Club. [[spoiler:Partway during the game, she transfers to Hokkaido.]] She's also conscious about her figure, thinking she's very chubby. |
| 215 | ---- |
| 216 | Tropes associated with Kaedeko Sakura: |
| 217 | * CannotSpitItOut: Her feelings of love for the protagonist in general (until her HappyEnding 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]]. |
| 218 | * CrashIntoHello: One of the two possible ways of meeting her is this. |
| 219 | * CuteClumsyGirl: To the point it's the crux of her LimitBreak. |
| 220 | * CuteSportsClubManager: [[spoiler: of both Hibikino, and later Daimon High's Base-Ball Clubs.]] |
| 221 | * EarnYourHappyEnding]]: [[spoiler: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]]. |
| 222 | * HoldingHands: [[spoiler: In the last shot of her Ending]]. |
| 223 | * ImageSong: 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". |
| 224 | * InformedAbility: 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.]] |
| 225 | * IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler:The choice you have to pick in the last set of choices, to get her Ending in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories: Memories Ringing On'']] |

| 227 | * PermanentlyMissableContent: [[spoiler: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.]] |

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.]] |

| 236 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaori_yae.jpg]] |
| 237 | |
| 238 | A silent girl with no friends. She's often alone at the school roof. [[DarkAndTroubledPast Deeply wounded in her heart by a painful event in her past]], this once-GenkiGirl now avoids contact with other people, fearing to be betrayed and hurt again. It's now up to the protagonist, should he meet her and want to score her, to patiently heal her through ThePowerOfLove. |
| 239 | |
| 240 | Her scenario and personnality led her to become ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'''s [[EnsembleDarkhorse favourite character in the fandom]], to the point of getting her own {{novel|ization}} (out of two released for this game, the first having Hikari as its heroine), ''Anata o Shinjiteru'' (''"I Believe In You"''), as well as a lot of merchandise centered around her. |
| 241 | ---- |
| 242 | Tropes associated with Kaori Yae: |
| 243 | * AloneInACrowd: One of her key Events in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''. |
| 244 | * ApologeticAttacker: Her counter-attack quote in ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Taisen Puzzle Dama''. |
| 245 | * BrokenAce: Best character of the game academics and sports-wise, has a natural talent at ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'', and very pretty. But she's also... |
| 246 | * BrokenBird: An emotionally broken girl totally closed up to others due a traumatic past event... |
| 247 | * CherryBlossomGirl: 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. |
| 248 | * TheCynic: Of the JadeColoredGlasses kind. [[CharacterDevelopment She grows out of it]] thanks to the protagonist and Kaedeko. |
| 249 | * DefrostingIceQueen: The name of the second variation of her Image BGM (which activates [[NearVictoryFanfare after she recovers from her]] HeroicBSOD) drives this trope's point home: "Waiting impatiently for Spring '2nd Movement' [[MeaningfulName ~The Thaw's Flow~]]". |
| 250 | %%* EarnYourHappyEnding |
| 251 | %%* EmotionlessGirl |
| 252 | * FanserviceWithASmile: 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 [[HesBack She's Back]], as she's smiling happily and is visibly having a fun time doing this. |
| 253 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Except of dogs. She ''hates'' dogs. Actually, her favourite animals are [[KindheartedCatLover cats]] and fishes. |
| 254 | * GenkiGirl: As part of the [[HesBack 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. |
| 255 | %%* HeroicBSOD |
| 256 | * HopeIsScary: She experiences this in the first stages of her bonding with the protagonist, as exemplified by the Events "Farewell..." and "The person I can believe in". The protagonist ultimately convinces her not to give herself to this. |
| 257 | * HugeSchoolgirl |
| 258 | * ImageSong: 8 of them like most of the girls, but they have an interesting pattern specific to her character: half of them are slow, heartwrenching themes fitting her HeroicBSOD period ("Ouju no Sasayaki", "Tsukiyo no Koneko", "Aoi Tori", and "Hikaru Nami"), and the other half are upbeat, cheerful, and heartwarming themes representative of her ShesBack period ("Hoshizora no Yoru ni", "Haru no Frill", "Steppin' to Love", and "Kocchi o Muite"). |
| 259 | * LeaveMeAlone: "Watashi no koto o kamawanaide" (="Don't mind about me") is pretty much her CatchPhrase during her HeroicBSOD period. |
| 260 | * OfficialCouple: In the {{novel|ization}} ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', with main protagonist Shunta Torigoe. |
| 261 | * OneeSama: Her appearance near the very end of the game, when wearing her special Winter street clothes, exudes of this feeling. [[spoiler: {{Justified|Trope}} since she's actually one year older than the protagonist, and has matured after recovering from her HeroicBSOD]]. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by the protagonist on New Year's day of 3rd Year. |
| 262 | * PassionateSportsGirl: [[spoiler:She was this before the event that made her a BrokenBird, and was so passionate it's part of the reason why things spiralled down like that for her. She turns back to a slightly more reserved one after her ShesBack event]]. |
| 263 | * ThePowerOfTrust: '''The''' defining trope of Kaori's storyline. |
| 264 | * ShesBack: Pulls this after the mandatory Event to get her Ending, where, thanks to ThePowerOfLove, she finds the courage to overcome her wounds, and decides to enter the Volley-Ball Club again. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by one of the Official Guidebooks about this Event: "''The original Yae-san has come back''". |
| 265 | * SittingOnTheRoof: 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 BookEnds, where she'll give him her LoveConfession at the end of the game if they become sweethearts.]] |
| 266 | * SupremeChef: Not of Saki's level, but still a good cook. |
| 267 | * TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: The concept of her LimitBreak. Her words make the enemy reflect on himself and take heavy damage as [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone they realize they're doing a bad action]]. |
| 268 | * TakingTheHeat / EtTuBrute: 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 BrokenBird, why she transferred to Hibikino High, and why she's repeating a class.]] |
| 269 | * ThereAreNoTherapists: The {{Novelization}} of Kaori's storyline, ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', gives a ParentalAbandonment explanation to the otherwise FridgeLogic 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. |
| 270 | * TraumaSwing: One of her key Events in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''. |
| 271 | %%* WhenSheSmiles |
| 272 | * YouMustBeCold: [[spoiler: In her 3rd year Christmas Event. She even [[InvokedTrope invokes]] the coat-sharing trope in the dialogue]]. |
| 273 | |

| 282 | |
| 283 | * DeathGlare: You DO NOT WANT to mess with Akane when she does it. '''ABSOLUTELY NOT'''. Homura, her best friend, knows it better, and actually advises her ArchEnemy Mei that ''they stop quarrelling'', at the beginning of ''Leaping School Festival''. |

| 332 | * MatchmakerQuest: In May of 2nd year, Jun will phone you to confess he loves a girl. You can help him get close to her by scheduling a double date between you, him, his love interest, and Hikari. And if his target girl isn't the same as yours, he'll get ShipperOnDeck 'd to the max by the protagonist. |
| 333 | * TrainingFromHell: If you ask him to help you training for a contest requiring high physical stamina, he ''will'' put you through this. Just ask the Main Protagonist in ''Dancing Summer Vacation''. |
| 334 | * WhatTheHellHero: In ''Memories Ringing On'', if you choose the "Hikari & Kotoko" route, at one moment he will punch the Main Protagonist in the face and scold him sharply for putting Hikari, Jun's love interest in this game, through emotional hell, as the Main Protagonist can't decide between her and Kotoko. |

| 355 | Mei Ijuin's personal butler. He also serves as a bodyguard to Mei and always carries a handgun with him for self defense. As he is Mei's bodyguard he always accompanies Mei on the player's dates with her until she is in love with the player (after which she will stop Sakunoshin from following her). He also serves as a bouncer to the family's BigFancyHouse. Much like Sotoi he is gay and also a narcissist. Should the player raise their fashion sense high enough then, again like Sotoi, Mihara will fall in love with the player. He will also try to confess his feelings to the player at the end of the game, complete with roses intended for the player, but he will always be interrupted by Mei and then dismissed before he gets a chance. |

| 360 | * BattleButler: 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. |
| 361 | * CulturedBadass: Considering he is both butler and bodyguard to the Ijuin family this goes without saying. |
| 362 | * TheFightingNarcissist: He somewhat has connections to this trope in that he is vain and doesn't acknowledge other's beauty unless they rival or are greater than his own. However he doesn't actually seek out fights because of it. |
| 363 | ** He is also part of Mei's special attack in battle in which he wears a cloak and proceeds to flash himself at the enemy as the screen goes white. |
| 364 | *** Actually, it's implied he's totally ''naked'' under his cape, as, when pulling the move in battle, the camera shows him from behind, but the bottom of his legs are visible, and are naked (while normally, he wears a full tuxedo); also explains [[{{Squick}} the disgusted and uneasy look]] the enemies make when seeing this. |
| 365 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: See above. |

He also gets a quick mention in the novel ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', revealing he regulary phones [[spoiler: Kaedeko]]. |
| 475 | ---- |
| 476 | Tropes associated with Mitsuru Iizuka: |
| 477 | * RomanticFalseLead: Plays this role in [[spoiler: Kaedeko]]'s storyline. He however comes off as a GracefulLoser once the main protagonist and his club beats Daimon High in the Koshien, and he realizes [[spoiler: Kaedeko]] is in love with the protagonist. |

| 483 | |
| 484 | %%She also happens to be Takumi Sakaki's childhood friend, to the surprise of Jun Hokari and the protagonist, who then speculate whether or not she is also Takumi's LoveInterest. |

| 491 | |
| 492 | A novel-only character, he's the main male protagonist of ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', and Kaori's love interest in that novel. He's not a novel-representation of the game's Main Protagonist though, Takeru Iwase of the same continuity taking that role, and also having a completely different circle of friends (he doesn't know Junichiro and Takumi, isn't Hikari's childhood friend, and is not in the same class as them -he's a student of the 2-F class, like Kaori and Sayo- for example). |
| 493 | |
| 494 | A cheerful and hard-working member of Hibikino's Volley-Ball Club, extremely open and friendly to others, he actually was an ill boy forced to stay at his home most of the time until the start of his High School time. He's now healthy enough to have a normal school life and practice sports, but he still is a bit fragile, and is also prone to volley-ball accidents: it's how he progressively gets closer to Kaori, who's sometimes on call at the infirmary. He's childhood friends with Sayo Tsukimura, but they bicker often and he considers her more as a big sister. |
| 495 | ---- |
| 496 | Tropes associated with Shunta Torigoe: |
| 497 | * BadLiar: He tries to ask Kaori for a date under the excuse of asking her to teach him a volley-ball receive, but immediately takes it back and confesses to Kaori he invites her simply because he wants to be with her. |
| 498 | %%* {{Keet}} |
| 499 | * OfficialCouple: With Kaori. |
| 500 | * ThePowerOfTrust: Invokes this in the infamous moment where, to prove Kaori his sincerity towards her after a messy misunderstanding between them, [[spoiler: he climbs on one of the rooftop's outdoors units and tells Kaori he will let himself fall off the building after a count of three, and that he places all his trust that she would take his hand and take him back to the rooftop before. And he was dead serious, as he had begun to let himself fall after the count, only to be [[JustInTime barely caught]] by Kaori]]. As [[{{Narm}} over-the-top, forced]], [[DudeNotFunny and poor in taste]] this is (both Sayo and [[StudentCouncilPresident Homura]] make sure [[WhatTheHellHero to chew him a new one after that]]), it tremendously works on Kaori. |
| 501 | |
| 502 | [[WMG:'''Sayo Tsukimura''']] |
| 503 | !!!Voiced by: None |
| 504 | |
| 505 | A novel-only character appearing in ''Anata o Shinjiteru'', she's the captain of Hibikino's female Volley-Ball club team, the 2-F ClassRepresentative, and Shunta's childhood friend. She always took care of him in his younger ill days. She's protective of him, and treats him a bit like a child, leading to much bickering between them. She's however secretly deeply in love with him, but doesn't know how to tell him; and seeing Kaori gradually getting closer from him is a great source of pain for her. |
| 506 | ---- |
| 507 | Tropes associated with Sayo Tsukimura: |
| 508 | * BelievingTheirOwnLies: [[spoiler: Upon inadvertently learning what happened at Kaori's former school via two students of that school who visited Hibikino's School Festival and recognized Kaori, she decided to tell this to Shunta. She desperately claims to herself she does this to protect him from emotional harm and because Kaori is not worthy of him with that scandal, but deep down, she's devoured by the GreenEyedMonster, unable to stand seeing herself becoming the UnluckyChildhoodFriend.]] |
| 509 | %%* ClassRepresentative |
| 510 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: She comes to sincerly regret her borderline-MoralEventHorizon moment where, after informing Shunta of the bad rumors about Kaori's past (who dismiss them and tells Sayo he trusts Kaori), she then meets Kaori and lies to her, by saying that Shunta told her she was disappointed of Kaori; to the point she feels dirty. She largely makes it up by mustering the courage to talk to Shunta and Kaori, going IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy to the former and GracefulLoser to the latter.]] |
| 511 | * ShipperOnDeck: The members of the female volley-ball team are ''big'' Sayo/Shunta fans at first, believing they're like [[BelligerentSexualTension an loving old couple with their bickering]]. They later realize how close Shunta and Kaori are, and accept it. |
| 512 | * {{Tsundere}}: A Type-B one, who only goes tsun towards Shunta. |
| 513 | * UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Pretty much a ForegoneConclusion with the HowWeGotHere-type Prologue of the novel. |
| 514 | * WhatTheHellHero: She justly slaps and chews out a new one on Shunta after his [[spoiler: dangerous rooftop stunt]]: |
| 515 | -->'''Sayo:''' Don't you get it?! If it went wrong, Yae-san could have [[spoiler: fallen]] too!! |
