Plot
On the day of the placement test, an intelligent girl named Mizuki Himeji suffers from a fever and is unable to complete her test, hence her reining in a score of zero. As a result, she is pigeonholed into Class F together with Akihisa Yoshii. Akihisa, who dreams of the day when the academy would no longer be divided by grades, pitches an idea to his class to rule over the higher-level classes by doing a Summoned Being War for both Mizuki's sake and to get more and more privileges. Aside from Mizuki (who happens to be the second-ranked student in Year 2), there is also the class representative Yūji Sakamoto, the bishōnen Hideyoshi Kinoshita, the perverted Kota Tsuchiya, and the tomboyish Minami Shimada (who, as Akihisa claims, is his worst enemy, but actually has a crush on him, but is reluctant to show it).
List of Baka and Test characters
Second-year students
Class F
The worst class with the worst facilities, including decrepit tables (later changed into upturned cardboard boxes then to large clipboards with rope to hold them up), tatami mats and under-stuffed sitting cushions. 47 males, 2 females, and Hideyoshi make up the class. There is a total of 149 boys enrolled in the second-year class, so approximately one-third are in Class F.- Akihisa Yoshii (吉井 明久 Yoshii Akihisa)
- Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (Japanese)
- Akihisa Yoshii is the protagonist of the story and act as the first-person narrator in the novels. He is portrayed as the Ultimate Idiot (Baka among all Baka) and is implied to have the worst grades among his peers of the same level. In the novels, his friends make fun of his idiocy by turning his name, by appending the suffix "-ful", into an English adjective; "He is so Akihisaful" essentially means "He is so stupid" in the context of the novels. Because of his absolute idiocy, he is also given the title of Punishment Inspector (Probationary Student in the English Dub of the Anime) (観察処分者 Kansatsu Shobunsha) and his Shōkanjū (Summoned Being) is the only Shōkanjū given the ability to touch corporeal objects in order to help the teachers with chores as punishment for being the Ultimate Idiot. Because Shōkanjū are many times stronger than humans, Akihisa can help the teachers perform tasks that would normally require the strength of many people. The flip side to this "special ability" is the "feedback", which means that any damage taken by his Shōkanjū will be transmitted to himself as well (So if the Shōkanjū ("Avatar") was punched in the gut, he would feel the same pain there). Thus, he is always reluctant to fight Shōkanjū battles due to the pain he would receive during battle. However, because he is accustomed to controlling his Shōkanjū, compared to the other students, his Shōkanjū is unmatched in speed, is more agile, and can execute many unorthodox moves (such as sliding attacks), and this has enabled him to win battles otherwise thought to be impossible due to his poor grades.
- His Shōkanjū's ability to touch corporeal objects is also instrumental in helping his class defeat Class B in Volume 1. Akihisa's parents are on long-term overseas work assignments and send money back regularly. However, he always spends this money on the latest games, and as a result, he has to live on merely salt, sugar, and water. In the anime, he is depicted to survive on a sub-divided piece of cup noodles which can be as small as 1/64 of the entire piece. Akihisa has many romantic admirers both female and male, including Mizuki Himeji, Minami Shimada, Hazuki Shimada, Toshimitsu Kubo, and Akira Yoshii (his sister), but is oblivious to this due to his idiocy. Everyone around him is aware of this, as shown when his older sister showed the two girls his fetish and Mizuki tried to attract him by tying her hair, but he still was thickheaded about her feelings. It is also suggested in the anime that both Mizuki and Minami are acting like his girlfriends, unbeknownst to him, and as they do they will try to burn any R18+ magazines he has. He frequently claims that he is energized by just looking at Hideyoshi Kinoshita due to his thought that Hideyoshi is a girl. Despite the fact that they always sabotage each other's reputation, Akihisa has a close friendship with Yūji and can communicate with him just by glances and without any words.
- Akihisa also has excellent cooking skills, as a result of having to fend for himself because he lives alone, and is good at housework. His favorite dish to make and eat is paella. After the tournament in Volume 2, Akihisa acquired the platinum bracelet that lets him perform dual summons, allowing him to have two Shōkanjū in a battle. Since Akira started living with Akihisa, his grades have seen a significant improvement from what they were before since he has more incentive to study. His Shōkanjū wears a school uniform and wields a bokken. During the ESB field error, his Shōkanjū was unaffected, but it multiplied enough to literally flow out of the school itself.
- Mizuki Himeji (姫路 瑞希 Himeji Mizuki)
- Voiced by: Hitomi Harada (Japanese)
- Mizuki Himeji is one of the smartest students in Fumizuki Academy and would have probably ranked second in her level if not for her inability to finish her placement exam due to her fever. In Fumizuki Academy, leaving in the middle of an exam gets a student zero. As a result, Mizuki was placed in the worst class, class F. Despite the poor conditions of her class which were unfavourable to her fragile health, she claims to be happy because her love interest, Akihisa Yoshii, is in the same class. Mizuki is also portrayed as a shy, timid, innocent, but determined girl. Akihisa and Mizuki used to be in the same elementary school, and since then, she has long admired Akihisa for his thoughtfulness and caring personality. Mizuki also finds Akihisa cute, especially in maid costumes, and was overcome by some sort of weakness when she first saw him wearing a maid costume (when he was chased by Miharu and bumped into Hideyoshi who had some costumes with him). Towards the end of volume 2, Mizuki changes her way of addressing Akihisa from Yoshii-kun (吉井くん) to Akihisa-kun (明久くん). At the end of Volume 8, Mizuki kisses Akihisa to get him to stay home while he is sick despite classes F and C having an exam war that day.
- Even though she has both brains and beauty, Mizuki's cooking is lethal, and in the novel anyone who eats her handmade cooking goes into a coma, including Hideyoshi Kinoshita who is known for his strong stomach. However, she is completely oblivious to the lethality of her own cooking because she does not taste her cooking, and as stated in the novels she adds several chemicals that will create even more potent acids such as the Aqua Regia and hydrochloric acid, also when asked by Yoshii when Yūji, Hideyoshi and Kōta went nearly out cold due to her cooking. She is on particularly good terms with Minami Shimada, and calls her Minami-chan (美波ちゃん), despite the fact that they are love rivals. Often, she will emit a killing intent aura and yandere-like eyes whenever she hears that Akihisa is with some other woman, like when Yūji claimed that Akihisa was with a college girl. She will also exhibit extreme denial if she finds any evidence of a girl in his life, such as when she saw his sister's clothes hanging in his apartment—saying that they were "not his size"; to her claiming that a make-up removing cotton puff on his table was a fish cake. This side of her tends to increase more and more as the series goes on. In the anime, it is sometimes suggested that she is acting like Akihisa's girlfriend and will try to burn any R18+ magazines he has. Her Shōkanjū is clad in heavy armor and wields a large sword and during the ESB field error, it looks like an adult version of herself with the costume resembling Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers. Also, in the first theme song, she is holding a six-sided die in mid-air. It spells out "Ba Ka To Te Su" in katakana, or "Baka To Tesu", which is the name of the show.
- Minami Shimada (島田 美波 Shimada Minami)
- Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (Japanese)
- Minami Shimada is one of the two female students in class F. She is Japanese but spent most of her life in Germany before coming to Fumizuki Academy, and as a result she is especially weak in kanji. Because of this handicap, the only exam in which she can do well is math (which still isn't as good as A class's due to the presence of word problems). She will also revert to speaking German when in shock. Minami is the tsundere of the series. Physically, she is slim and has long legs but somewhat lacking in the 'chest department', often being envious of Mizuki's bust and in the anime showing an inferiority complex about it. She too is in love with Akihisa, but due to her inability to express herself and her tsundere nature, she acts violently towards him, often leading him to misunderstand her intentions. During the class battles in volume 1, while executing a delay tactic, Akihisa indirectly defamed Minami and landed herself the list of "Top Ten Women Not To Date" among the guys in Fumizuki.
- In the novel and manga, during a battle in which Akihisa's survival depended on Minami, he was blackmailed to address Minami by her given name, and from then onwards, she started calling him Aki (アキ) instead of Yoshii (吉井) and he would refer to her by her given name as well. In the anime, this took place when she threatened to break his bones. It is a running gag in the light novel series that whenever Minami expresses genuine concern for Akihisa through her actions or words, Akihisa always draws the conclusion that he is going to be killed or sabotaged by her in some obscure way. She is on good terms with Mizuki, the only other girl in class F, and calls her by her given name. She is good at cooking, due to the fact that her parents are not at home most of the time. Like Himeji in the anime, it is also suggested she acts like his girlfriend and will try to burn any pornographic magazines that Akihisa has. In episode 7 of season 2 Akihisa accidentally sends her what appears to be a confession of love through texting, this later causes her to ambush him in his sleep, and she ambushes him with a kiss at the end of the credits. Her Shōkanjū is clad in a blue naval military uniform and wields a saber. During the ESB field error, her Shōkanjū looks like an adult version of her but wears the costume similar to Lilith's.
- Yūji Sakamoto (坂本 雄二 Sakamoto Yūji)
-
- Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Japanese)
- Yūji Sakamoto is a red-haired boy and the class representative of class F. In the series, the class rep position is assigned to the smartest student of that class. He is cool, collected, and exhibit surprisingly high intelligence and foresight unexpected of a student from class F. In volume 1, his strategies and tactics helped class F to attain victory after victory, until the duels with class A in which he overestimated his ability in elementary school-level Japanese history. Yūji was once known as a child prodigy in his childhood. The only reason why he ended up in class F was because he did not study at all and he holds the strong belief that grades are not everything. However, due to the consequences he 'suffered' from his defeat from Shōko Kirishima, his childhood friend and also the top student of his level, he became motivated to study again. In the later volumes, his Shōkanjū became reasonably strong in just a few months due to his test scores improving by leaps and bounds. It is implied that he is actually smarter than his childhood friend, Shōko.
- After the tournament in volume 2, he acquires a platinum bracelet which allows him to control the size of the force field of his Shōkanjū, allowing him to form a one-man army choke point since humans cannot pass through this force field. He bears no ill intention towards Shōko, but due to her unyielding obsession with marrying him since their childhood days, he sees her as having a few loose screws in her mind, and fears to even think of his future if he does marry her. In the anime, its suggested that they act like a married couple though she tends to treat him as a slave in order for him not to escape her. Despite this, he does actually think well of Shōko and it is implied to have feelings for her himself, although he denies this. Yūji is close to Akihisa to the point where they can actually communicate without any words. A gag in the series is that Yūji will attempt to decipher a complicated expression on Akihisa and comment on a series of events that must have taken place. While he meant it as a joke, he is always a spot-on when this happens. His Shōkanjū wears a long trench coat that makes it look like a punk, and is armed with brass knuckles. During the ESB field error, his shōkanjū becomes a handsome adult version of himself wearing a school uniform, much to Shōko's delight.
- Hideyoshi Kinoshita (木下 秀吉 Kinoshita Hideyoshi)
- Voiced by: Emiri Katō (Japanese)
- Hideyoshi Kinoshita is a very feminine-looking bishōnen and is the younger twin brother of Yūko Kinoshita of class A. Despite being a fraternal twin, except for his male body, he looks almost identical to his twin sister. Because of that, his male peers, and many of his female peers, see him as a female, which upsets him though he doesn't express it strongly. In the anime, his feminine looks are often the subject of fanservice, going so far as to make him strongly appear as a female. Hideyoshi has a helpful personality and is willing to support any activity his friends embark on. He uses the term 'Washi (儂)', used by old venerable men to describe himself. While he is bad in academics, he has unquestionable talent in acting, and can not only replicate the behavior and mannerisms of other people but also their voices as well. He also can dress instantly on the spot. In volume 2, he was instigated by Akihisa to mimic Yūji's voice to propose to Shōko during their tournament, confusing her and ultimately setting up the stage for a win for Akihisa-Yūji Team, but this move caused Yūji all manner of problems later on. His Shōkanjū is clad in Hakama and wields a Naginata. His shōkanjū turns into an adult but changes gender and wears a dress that parodies Little Red Riding Hood during the ESB field error.
- Kōta Tsuchiya (土屋 康太 Tsuchiya Kōta)
- Voiced by: Kōki Miyata (Japanese)
- Kōta Tsuchiya is the ultimate ecchi in Fumizuki. He has a dark taciturn personality, and as such, he's given the nickname Morose Pervert Muttsurīni (ムッツリーニ?), implicitly derived from Muttsuri (むっつり) to form a parody for Mussolini (ムッソリーニ). But even though he is very perverted, nobody, even the girls, seem to mind this side of him. While Kōta is uncommunicative by nature, he is part of class F's inner circle group of Yūji, Akihisa, Mizuki, Minami, and Hideyoshi. He is terrible at all subjects except for Health Education, in which few students, if any, could come close. Because of Kōta's extreme high score in Health Education, partly attributed to his wealth of knowledge of the human anatomy, especially that of females, his Shōkanjū carries an accessory, during battles in Health Education, that allows the Shōkanjū to perform an accelerated move. During Season 2 he is also shown to have achieved a score (774) higher than the Health Education teacher's. In the novel, he is also shown to be an expert in sneaking, gathering information, cunning, and many forms photography, whether it be hidden or not. In the anime, he has a habit of taking panty shots whenever the opportunity arises and to record all the girls' bust sizes in Fumizuki Academy. A running gag is, despite his perverse nature, if he even sees or hears something that might be perverted (such as his panty shots or Aiko's teasing) his nose will spontaneously bleed often ludicrous amounts, sometimes causing him to pass out. His Shōkanjū wears a ninja outfit and dual-wields Kodachi. His Shōkanjū wears a modified hakama and sports a short ponytail during the ESB field error.
- Ryō Sugawa (須川 亮 Sugawa Ryō)
- Ryō Sugawa is a minor supporting character in class F. He is the only class F student outside of the 'inner circle' whose Shōkanjū is described in the novel. He is also the leader of the FFF Inquisition, but ended up on the run during the third episode of the second season. His Shōkanjū wears a martial-arts robe and wields a staff.
- FFF Inquisition
- A group in class F who once punished Akihisa for getting attention from the girls, to the extent of 'sentencing him to death'. They also seem to be Hideyoshi's fans. When agitated, like when they learned of Class B's representative having a girlfriend, they would turn into "Messengers of Genocide", using their Shōkanjū as sacrifice, "suicide bombing" their opponents effectively.
Class A
The best class with the best equipment. 24 males and 26 females. The top 10 of class A are said to be so strong that they are in a league of their own compared to other class A students.- Shōko Kirishima (霧島 翔子 Kirishima Shōko)
- Voiced by: Tomomi Isomura (Japanese)
- Shōko Kirishima is the childhood friend of Yūji Sakamoto. She is the top student in her level and the class representative for class A. In the story, she is portrayed as a soft-spoken, but highly assertive and intelligent girl. In the novel, her dialog always starts with ellipses. She is described as elegantly beautiful and very popular like a typical Yamato Nadeshiko, but yet has no boyfriend, which initially created the impression to others that she is a lesbian. Later, it was revealed that the reason for this is because she is crazily infatuated with Yūji since childhood and acts possessively towards him, to the point of frequently poking out his eyes in order to prevent him from seeing other girls' underwear, applying locks and chains while they are together, using a handheld taser if he is being 'unfaithful' to her, and even attempted to submit a marriage certificate to the civil registrar (but fails in the anime due to them being underage). Despite being tricked multiple times, she still shows a trusting nature towards Yūji and practically believes everything he says, such as the date of the Taika Reform. Shōko is also shown to be someone who is a very long-term thinker, and has already decided on her children's names (Shoyū for a girl, and Koshō for a boy). She is also "hopeless when it comes to gadgets" (機械音痴) and is known to spoil any electronic gadget that falls into her hands, although in the novels she brings one that contains Yūji's supposed voice proposing to her and claims its 'normal music'. While she is a part of class A, Shōko often hangs around Akihisa's inner circle of class F only because she wants to be around Yūji. Her Shōkanjū is clad in Samurai armor and wields a Japanese longsword. During the ESB field error, her Shōkanjū also becomes an adult version of herself wearing only an apron and lingerie.
- Aiko Kudō (工藤 愛子 Kudō Aiko)
- Voiced by: Yoshino Nanjō (Japanese), Trina Nishimura (English)
- Aiko Kudō is another elite student in class A. She is portrayed as a green haired, friendly, easy-going, and mischievous girl. She uses 'Boku (僕)', commonly used by boys or young men, to address herself. She is extremely skilled in electronic gadgets and carries a micro-recorder for recording lessons, which she also uses to cause mischief to other people by recording, cutting and re-joining parts of their conversations, creating lots of misunderstandings and woes to others, especially towards Akihisa. She especially likes to mess around with Akihisa and Kōta often stating perverted things to arouse them and cause them to nosebleed. It is highly implied that she likes Kota due to her messing with him at times. Her Shōkanjū is clad in a schoolgirl sailor uniform and wields a battle axe.
- Toshimitsu Kubo (久保 利光 Kubo Toshimitsu)
- Voiced by: Takuma Terashima (Japanese), Joel McDonald (English)
- Toshimitsu Kubo is a calm and cool man with glasses and the second ranked student in his level. He lives in a relatively tight and structured schedule which is reflected in his high grades. However, he easily misinterprets situations and because of this, he thinks that Akihisa was trying to hit on him. As a result, he ends up having a crush on him despite both of them being male. When it comes to Akihisa, he can be just as crazy as Mizuki and Minami when Akihisa is implied to be involved with other women OR with other men. His Shōkanjū uses dual scythes.
- Yūko Kinoshita (木下 優子 Kinoshita Yūko)
- Voiced by: Emiri Katō (Japanese), Brina Palencia (English)
- Yūko Kinoshita is the attractive elder twin sister of Hideyoshi Kinoshita by 3 minutes. Due to their disparity in academic abilities, she feels superior to her younger brother, whom she thinks is trash. Yūko is also very prideful, arrogant and easily agitated unlike Hideyoshi who is always calm. During the classroom wars in volume 1, Hideyoshi, while acting on a strategy of Yūji, masqueraded as his sister and branded the whole of class C as filthy pigs, sowing discord between class C and class A, saving F from a potential alliance between class C and class B. And the proud Yūko bears a deep grudge against Hideyoshi and class F for the incident. In episode 12 of the anime, it is revealed her weakness is yaoi manga. However, in the last episode, it is shown that she can be honorable as well, refusing to acknowledge their victory and that it was 'cowardly'. It may be hinted that she, along with Shōko and Aiko are already in Akihisa's inner circle of friends in the school. Her Shōkanjū uses a jousting lance.
Class B
- Kyōji Nemoto (根本 恭二 Nemoto Kyōji)
- Voiced by: Hiromu Miyazaki (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)
- Kyōji Nemoto is the class representative for class B. He is cunning, scheming, and does not hesitate to use underhanded tricks to win. He is going out with Yūka Koyama, the class representative for class C, and attempted to set up an alliance with class C during the war with class F in volume 1. This was later foiled by Yūji's contingency plan. After he was defeated, he was forced to wear the female school uniform and had his photograph taken, which was used as blackmailing leverage by Yūji that was discovered by Yūka and he was dumped.
- Ritsuko Iwashita (岩下 律子 Iwashita Ritsuko)
- Voiced by: Mana Hirata
- Mayumi Kikuiri (菊入 真由美 Kikuiri Mayumi)
Class C
- Yūka Koyama (小山 友香 Koyama Yūka)
- Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi (Japanese), Terri Doty (English)
- Yūka Koyama is the class representative for class C, and going out with Kyōji Nemoto. However, when she sees him wearing the girl's outfit, she immediately dumps him.

- Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (Japanese), Kristi Kang (English)

- Genji Hiraga (平賀 源二 Hiraga Genji)
- Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto (Japanese), Micah Solusod (English)
- Miki Tamano (玉野 美紀 Tamano Miki)
Class E
The second worst class in terms of grades next to class F. However, unlike class F, which is populated primarily by idiots, class E's students are mostly athletes meaning that they can last longer in a summoning battle than most other students.- Hiromi Nakabayashi (中林 宏美 Nakabayashi Hiromi)
- Voiced by: Yūko Takayama (Japanese), Anastasia Munoz (English)
- The class representative for the E class. Her Shōkanjū appeared as a baseball player. She apparently has a crush on Kubo, which her avatar revealed in episode 4 of season 2.
- Ayumi Furukawa (古川 あゆみ Furukawa Ayumi)
- Yoshiko Mikami (三上 美子 Mikami Yoshiko)
- Voiced by: Keiko Manaka (Japanese), Ryan Reynolds (English)
- The first character in the anime to be sent to remedial class.
Third year students
- Yūsaku Tsunemura (常村 勇作 Tsunemura Yūsaku)
- Voiced by: Kousuke Okano
- He is a student of Class 3-A in Fumizuki Academy. He is good friends with his classmate Shunpei, and they were called the "Tokonatsu duo" (by combining the first kanji of their surname). He has appeared in the OVA (Baka to Test to Shōkanjū: Matsuri) of the series, where he and Shunpei went to the Chinese cafe of Class 2-F and ate the sesame dumpling Himeji made. After complaining about the business, he was kicked by Yūji and spread some false rumors regarding the Class F's business. In the tournament, they faced Akihisa and Yūji and he was teamed up with Shunpei. Although the Tokonatsu duo got the upper hand, they were defeated by the combined efforts of the Akihisa and Yūji. His Shōkanjū is clad in a red, heavy armor and wields a spiked ring. He later appears in the second season with Shunpei.
- Shunpei Natsukawa (夏川 俊平 Natsukawa Shunpei)
- Voiced by: Yūki Ono
- He is a student of Class 3-A of Fumizuki Academy. He is good friends with Yūsaku, forming the "Tokonatsu duo". He has appeared in the OVA of the series along with Yuusaku, where he ate the sesame dumpling Himeji made and was hit twice with German Suplex. Although they spread some false rumors about Class 2-F's business, Akihisa and Yūji managed to set them up by framing Shunpei as a pervert for making "lewd" moves in public. In the tournament, he, alongside Yuusaku, managed to face Akihisa and Yūji in the finals tournament (and still wearing the bra Akihisa had put him). He cheated by throwing an eraser on Akihisa's Shōkanjū as a distraction, giving him an advantage. Although the duo got the upper hand, they were defeated by the combined efforts of Akihisa and Yūji. His Shōkanjū wears a kimono under a coat with 6 feathers and wields a giant pipe. He and Yuusaku later appear in the second season.
Fumizuki's teachers
- Kaoru Tōdō (藤堂 カヲル Tōdō Kaoru)
- Voiced by: Kaori Nakamura (Japanese), Wendy Powell (English)
- Principal of Fumizuki. Her name is never spoken in the anime.
- Shin Fukuhara (福原 慎 Fukuhara Shin)
- Voiced by: Kenjiro Tsuda (Japanese), Anthony Bowling (English)
- The first homeroom teacher of class F, who in the anime became the narrator after the first classroom wars, and was replaced by Nishimura.
- Sōichi Nishimura (西村 宗一 Nishimura Sōichi)
- Voiced by: Akio Ohtsuka (Japanese), Kent Williams (English)
- Disciplinary master who also became class F's homeroom teacher after when Class F lost to Class A. Nicknamed Iron Man (鉄人) or Tetsujin, he is extremely strict and drags people off to remedial classes whenever they lose a battle, regardless of location, often saying, "those who are KIA must receive supplementary lessons!". He is also said to possess godlike physical abilities, perhaps stemming from constantly dragging students to his remedial classes, which students call "the demon's remedial class" in the English dub. He has once shown a considerate side when Yuji and Akihisa apologized for leaking out test copies. He can permit the summoning for any subject and he can jump with the best of them.
- Yōko Takahashi (高橋 洋子 Takahashi Yōko)
- Voiced by: Yumi Kakazu (Japanese), Colleen Clinkenbeard (English)
- Yōko Takahashi is the Head Teacher of Year 2 and the homeroom teacher of class A. She is bespectacled, probably the smartest person in Fumizuki, but is really bad at baseball. Her total score on all subjects is 7800, nearly twice as much as Shōko. Her Shōkanjū is clad in a black military officer's uniform that resembles a bit of a German officer of World War I and armed with a whip.
Students' families
- Hazuki Shimada (島田 葉月 Shimada Hazuki)
- Voiced by: Mana Hirata (Japanese), Lindsay Seidel (English)
- Minami's younger sister in fifth grade. Calls Akihisa Stupid Brother (バカなお兄ちゃん Baka na Oniichan). She has also expressed her wish to become Akihisa's bride in the future.
- Yukino Sakamoto (坂本 雪乃 Sakamoto Yukino)
- Yūji's mother. Her looks do not match her actual age and is often mistaken as Yūji's older sister instead. She's also an airhead, as to make a Nikujaga without meat or potatoes (because she forgot to buy it), much to Yūji's dismay.
- Akira Yoshii (吉井 玲 Yoshii Akira)
- Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue (Japanese), Carli Mosier (English)
- Akihisa's elder sister. 23 years old and a Harvard graduate in education, yet despite her education she seems to have little to no regard to social decency (including constantly creating awkward situations for her brother and even changing into a bath robe on a sparsely populated train car). She has E-Cup breasts and is horrible at cooking, evident in Episode 9 when Yoshii finds all the attempted Paella dishes in the fridge and when all the band-aids are shown on her hand. Seems to have a huge brother complex as she really tries to seduce Yoshii into a kiss, reducing his allowance by her own volition such as deducting points for every illicit sexual relationship that Akihisa encounters and blushes extremely red when Yoshii admits he loves her as a sister. She appears to harbor romantic feelings for her brother. Both her and her brother are complete opposites in terms of their skills, Akira is smarter and much more perceptive than Akihisa but is a terrible cook while Akihisa is an idiot but is a much better cook than Akira.
- Yoshimitsu Kubo (久保 良光 Kubo Yoshimitsu)
- Toshimitsu's younger brother.
- Mr. Shimizu
- Full name unknown. He is Miharu's father, runs a popular coffee shop at the station.
- Himeji's dad
- Full name unknown. He's a 40+ year-old man who is, as Akihisa calls him, a "lolicon" (This due to his wife's height being "slightly bigger than Hazuki-chan"). Apparently has a 'weak' heart and is often mistaken as an offender due to his wife's appearance. He appears at the end of Volume 9.
- Mizuho Himeji (姫路 みずほ Himeji Mizuho)
- Himeji's mom. 41 years old, but looks only slightly bigger than Hazuki and can be mistaken for Himeji's younger sister. She recognizes Akihisa as "the one on [Himeji's] cushion and bedsheet." She is apparently perfectly fine with talking about her husband's and daughter's underwear in public and has weird taste (she bought her husband kitty boxers that "got lots of weird looks from his colleagues at his workplace.") She says that Akihisa should come over to their house someday so she can show him Mizuki's embarrassing photos. She appears at the end of Volume 9, alongside her husband.
