Tenma Tsukamoto

Utama

Female · Umur 16 · Gol. darah B

Tenma Tsukamoto is the 16-year-old female protagonist who loves Ōji Karasuma. Tenma is short, undeveloped and childish for her age. She often is mistaken as being younger than her classmates and her younger sister Yakumo. One of her obvious physical features are the little ponytails in her hair, which often wiggle if she is happy or excited. She is also dense, slow and unreliable and often misunderstands otherwise obvious situations. Despite her shortcomings, Tenma is good-natured and friendly.

Ami Koshimizu

Kenji Harima

Utama

Male · Umur 16 · Gol. darah O

Height: 180 cm (5'11") Kenji Harima is the male protagonist, an ex-delinquent who loves Tenma. Although he does not practice any specific martial arts style, few people are able to match him in hand-to-hand combat. He has the ability to communicate with animals, and possesses a wide variety of strange and exotic pets which he named after European monarchs. He has a little brother, Shuuji, who likes Yakumo. Harima struggles often to confess to Tenma, though he knows she has absolutely no feelings for him and may even dislike him. Every time Harima finds the courage to tell Tenma his true feelings, something happens which prevents him from succeeding. Harima also must deal with situations involving his classmate Eri, unaware of the fact that she does not know whether to like or dislike him. He gets extremely jealous seeing Karasuma and Tenma together, but his attempts to put a stop to that usually end up bringing them closer. Ironically, Harima admires Nijou jou the mangaka, which is Karasuma's pen name. To date, Tenma has yet to hear his confession properly. He also works as a mangaka, having Yakumo as his assistant, creating another source of misunderstandings, as it took a long time for Tenma to realize that their relationship is only professional, at least by Harima's side.

Oji Karasuma

Utama

Male · Umur 16 · Gol. darah A

Height: 170 cm Karasuma Oji is Tenma's love interest, often depicted as a stonefaced eccentric. He enjoys odd habits such as dressing as a kappa during rainy days, embodying a Japanese pun on the word for raincoat. He enjoys eating curry. Although unspoken, he seems to be excellent at dodging any flying projectiles including Harima's Hurricane Kick and Tenma's arrow letters. Karasuma is secretly a famous mangaka, publishing his works under the pen name of Nijō jō(二条丈). He is in a band at school, and plays an electric guitar. He also played soccer, and recently won a cup with the national soccer team in the anime. Although he doesn't demonstrate any feeling for Tenma (or anything else), behind his poker face he sometimes shows true concern for her in the story.

Ryousei Konishi

Eri Sawachika

Utama

Female · Umur 16 · Gol. darah A

Height: 165cm One of Tenma's close friends, Eri's father is British and her mother is Japanese. She has great difficulty with Kanji. Eri is extremely wealthy and somewhat spoiled (Western Europeans in Japan are stereotyped to be billionaires and extremely snobby). Eri is devoted to her father, but cannot spend as much time with him as she wants because of his work commitments.

Yui Horie

Yakumo Tsukamoto

Utama

Female · Umur 15 · Gol. darah AB

Height: 166 cm (5'4") The shy younger sister of Tenma Tsukamoto, Yakumo was born with a variety of gifts. Not only is she able to read the thoughts of those who like her (as well as her sister and pet cat Iori), but further in the story it is shown that she also has the ability to communicate with ghosts. Skilled, reliable, smart, and beautiful, Yakumo is one of the most admired girls in the school. Despite that fact, she has never had a boyfriend. This is due mostly to her mind-reading ability, as she can easily read the secret intentions of any boy who tries to approach her. The only exception is Harima, whose heart belongs completely to another girl; thus, his mind is completely opaque to her. Even though Yakumo is the younger sister of the Tsukamoto family, she handles most of the household chores. She is also a member of the Tea Club.

Mamiko Noto

Mikoto Suou

Utama

Female · Gol. darah O

Mikoto is a close friend of Tenma. She is tall, well-developed, and tomboyish. She has a black belt in Kenpo, and is often seen sparring with her childhood friend Haruki. She had a crush on a senpai of hers, but she gave up on him after discovering he had already met someone. Mikoto was dating her classmate Asou until recently, but for some reason yet unexplained, he broke up with her.

Hitomi Nabatame

Akira Takano

Utama

Female · Gol. darah AB

President of the Tea Club and another close friend of Tenma. She is very perceptive, resourceful, intelligent, and also very mysterious. Her enigmatic face always hides schemes she plan to help her friends or to play pranks on her classmates. Akira has some uncommon hobbies such as planning war games, wearing full body costumes and economics. She also knows exactly who likes whom in class, but for unexplained reasons, stays silent on the matter.

Kaori Shimizu

Haruki Hanai

Pendukung

Male

As class representative of 2-C, Hanai takes his duties seriously, always trying to keep his classmates (especially the males) in line. Unable to have second thoughts, he always says exactly what comes into his mind regardless of the consequences. He is hopelessly in love with Yakumo, so strongly that she can read his mind literally from a mile away. As a child, he was shy, weak, and always been bullied by other children. That changed with a little help from Mikoto, who has been his friend since that time. He attends the same dojo as her and has a black belt in Kenpo as well. He tries very hard to join the Tea Club that Yakumo is in, but is banned by Akira. Despite Hanai and Mikoto having their own love interests, characters around them sometimes think that they are too close to be just friends. Some of his classmates like Yuuki seems to have a crush on him.

Shinji Kawada

Kyousuke Imadori

Pendukung

Male · Gol. darah B

Imadori is the class's number two pervert (the pervert ringleader being Ganji Nishimoto). He has the special skill of knowing a girl's bra size just by looking at her chest. Interested only in girls with breast sizes of D or larger, the main targets of his flirting are the well-endowed Mikoto Suo and Lala Gonzalez, and he continues to pursue them constantly although they are strong enough to beat him down. Imadori has some physical abilities, such as being strong enough to grapple Hanai to a standstill. He works in a hair salon called "Now Bird", which his family owns. He enjoys the tokusatsu show "Hatenkou Robo Dozibiron" (a Super Sentai/Power Rangers parody). Despite constantly avoiding any involvement with Ichijou, he sometimes shows some interest in her, such as when he was admiring her singing during the cultural festival party, or cares about her, because he saved her from a night club from Suzuki. He also has a more sensitive side to him, which he shows towards Lala when he tries to get her to smile at her part-time job, even at the cost of getting walloped by her.

Daisuke Kishio

Karen Ichijou

Pendukung

Female

Ichijou has monstrous strength despite having a weak and feminine appearance and is a member of the amateur wrestling club. Her power amazes even her strongest male classmates (i.e., she is arguably even stronger than Harima and Hanai in terms of raw muscle strength, for she could carry a piano without any signs of physical stress, while the other two were on the verge of breakdown while trying hard to carry objects of the same size). It would also seem that she is not able to control her strength well, as shown when she nearly suffocates Tenma when trying to cover her mouth so that she does not blurt out secrets. Lala Gonzalez is her only rival in this regard, but has not been able to physically defeat her (In fact, Ichijo defeated her with her ultimate move, the "Frankensteiner"). Despite this, Ichijō has not reciprocated Lala's antagonism, always remaining polite towards her. Later the two seem to have developed into friends. Despite her strength she has a kind nature and is one of the more timid girls in 2-C. She is in love with Imadori, but gets embarrassed when this is hinted at. Imadori also initially avoids her, not only because of her small measures (later it is revealed that she does have considerably large breasts), but also because he fears her strength. She is also a good singer, and her singing is featured in episodes 2 and 6 of School Rumble - Second Term. When Imadori met her practicing wrestling and asked her why she liked it, she said that she really did not want to do wrestling. Later, when Imadori, along with Harima and Hanai were working for a moving company, they found out that Ichijō was also working with them as well as how strong she was. At the end of their shift, Imadori accidentally said that he could take Karen out on a date with his earnings, which Karen agrees to, even though Imadori did not really mean it. Ichijō-dōri is the northernmost of Kyoto's numbered east-west avenues, which in the east extends to the Kyoto University campus and the precincts of Yoshida Shrine.

Yuuka Nanri

Harry McKenzie

Pendukung

Male

Harry Mackenzie is a blonde-haired exchange student, skilled at fighting and a rival of Harima and Hanai. His name is pronounced the same as Harima's (in traditional Japanese use of family name first, Harima Kenji) when using Katakana, which leads to more than a few misunderstandings between the two. He is once mistaken as Harima Kenji by Hanai. He rides a gold-coloured motorcycle with a Hyaku decal and often wears red clothing and red shades, making him a parody of Char Aznable's Quattro Bajeena persona. He was first mentioned in chapter 2 of the manga when Yoshidayama misread his name and told Harima that the latter was in class 2-D. He is popular with the opposite sex and can easily attract them.

Nobuyuki Hiyama

Masakazu Tougou

Pendukung

Masakazu is 2-D's class representative who sees class 2-C as rivals. Despite his obvious self-confidence, his character leads him to rejections from his classmates. Some people around him usually refer to him with an alternate nickname "Macaroni", probably because he likes to put Italian words in his sentences. He has a tendency to burst into extremely long inspirational speeches either involving 'facing challenges head on' or 'how to be manly'. As the series progressed, his self-confidence and passion for facing challenges 'head on' have become so extreme that his actions and ideas often border on sheer-stupidity and often contain a startling lack of regard for the safety and well-being of others, like when he said that they should just charge the ocean liner the students (including himself) were in straight into a giant reef instead of going around it because it was 'the manly thing to do'. His appearance is often followed by the US national anthem, because he also has the tendency to (subtly) refer to himself as an American, or at the very least, hint that he has lived in the US when he was younger. He is a skilled sportsman and martial artist, similar to his main rival Hanai in that he takes such things very seriously. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hiroki Yasumoto

Lala Gonzalez

Pendukung

Female · Gol. darah B

Lala is an exchange student from Mexico, and a skilled practitioner of 'Lucha Libre' fighting. She belongs to the same amateur wrestling club as Ichijō, who she sees her as a rival, often shouting "Ichijō!" when she meets her. Lala dislikes Ichijō's name because her mother, who abandoned her and her father when she was a child, was also named Karen. She detests the D-cup-hunting pervert Imadori, especially when he managed to grope her chest while being choked. She thus tends to beats him up whenever she sees him after sufficient provocation. Lala works in the same fast food restaurant as Ichijo, where no one dared to go to her counter because of her violent temper. She even grabs customers that annoy her and drags them inside for a beating. Lala's closest friends appear to be Harry Mackenzie and Masakazu Tougou, who both look out for her. Later on, her animosity towards Ichijo softens. Her character is the direct opposite of her rival Ichijō, being that she is tall, well-endowed, sour-faced, hot-tempered, and very easily provoked.

Yuu Kobayashi

Itoko Osakabe

Pendukung

Female · Gol. darah A

The physics teacher and Harima's cousin. Itoko is also Harima's roommate and takes care of him. Though she does not show it, she does care for him and realises just how much Tenma has changed him. Her figure is admired by the perverted boys of class 2-C. She has a fear that her past will get brought up, and this is a weakness Sasakura uses against her. "Itoko" is also homonymous with the word "cousin" in Japanese which makes it a pun. Due to this pun, when Harima says "my cousin" it can be mistaken that he is saying "my Itoko"

Yuu Asakawa

Sarah Adiemus

Pendukung

Female

The best friend of Yakumo Tsukamoto, Sarah is distinguished by her blonde hair done up in a bun. She is a British girl raised in an orphanage, and is a relative newcomer to Japan. She is frequently seen together with Yakumo, as they are classmates and members of the Tea Club. With her cheerful and positive attitude, she does her best to support Yakumo, particularly on the latter's relationship with Kenji Harima and her difficulties with the unwanted attentions of Haruki Hanai. She stayed over with Yakumo to accompany her while Tenma was away for the Kyoto trip. Sarah has several part-time jobs outside school. She is a nun at a local church, performing duties such as hearing confessions, playing the organ, and babysitting children. Although her position as a nun may preclude her from pursuing romantic relationships, she reveals in a conversation with Akira Takano that she may have an eye on someone; furthermore, at least one hopeful student has expressed interest in her. Aside from her duties as a nun, Sarah also works with Hiroyoshi Asō of 2-C at a Chinese restaurant, waiting tables and cooking. (Source: Wikipedia)

Yukari Fukui

Kentarou Nara

Pendukung

Male · Umur 16 · Gol. darah O

Nara is in Tenma's class, but goes unnoticed most of the time. He is in love with Tenma, and unlike Harima, is able to talk to Tenma easily. Of course, Harima seems to always get in his way. He is scrawny, especially when compared to Harima, which is why he tends to always back down when Harima is around.

Yuuki Tai

Jirou Yoshidayama

Pendukung

Male

Broom-head. Jirou is a wannabe school bully who was picked on when he was younger. When he arrived in Yagami, he vowed to become the top bully in the school. However, Harima being the top rival thwarted his plans. His story is illustrated in the first OVA episode. When his blonde hair is not slicked upward in his trademark broom shape, he wears it in two ponytails. This style matches Eri's, leading to occasional misunderstandings. Jirou is a fan of the idea of "Swimsuit Sumo", and he seems to be quite talented at it as well, at one point winning a competition.

Hirotaka Nagase

Ganji Nishimoto

Pendukung

Ganji Nishimoto is a huge but timid figure, and is the proud leader of the perverts of the class. His family operates a video store, and he is known to host "ero meetings" discussing girls. He is hailed as "Buddha Nishimoto (仏の西本)" among other reasons, for his ability to grant the wishes of the students, usually involving erotic material. Some of his lines end with 'dasu (だす)' instead of the normal 'desu (です)' for some unknown reason. (Source: Wikipedia)

Asō is reputed to be popular among girls, although this is not explicitly shown. He, on the other hand, does not appear to have much interest in girls with the exception of Mikoto, who he dated several times. Their relationship progressed to the point of Mikoto's parents inviting him over to a family dinner. The two have since broken up. Asō's family runs a ramen shop. He is good at cooking Chinese food and works part-time at a Chinese restaurant together with Sarah Adiemus of 1-D.

Anegasaki is attracted to Harima and calls him affectionately by his pen name "Hario", although Harima has rejected her advances. Her belief in and support of Harima helped him get over his depression and return to school. She later becomes the faculty sponsor for the girls' basketball team. (Source: Wikipedia)
