List of Lucky Star Characters - Schoolmates

Schoolmates

Yutaka Kobayakawa (小早川 ゆたか, Kobayakawa Yutaka?)

Voiced by: Ai Shimizu (old drama CD, NDS video game), Shizuka Hasegawa (anime, PS2 and PSP video game, new drama CD), Hynden Walch (English)

Yutaka is Konata's cousin and Yui's younger sister. She first appeared in episode fourteen in the anime when she was admitted into Ryōō High School and moves to live with Konata to help with the commute. She has been known to be quite sickly which has impacted her school life, but she remains cheerful nonetheless. She befriends Minami Iwasaki, Hiyori Tamura and Patricia Martin at school.

Minami Iwasaki (岩崎 みなみ, Iwasaki Minami?)

Voiced by: Miyu Matsuki (old drama CD, NDS video game), Minori Chihara (anime, PS2 and PSP video game, new drama CD), Michelle Ruff (English)

Minami comes from a wealthy family, and she lives across the street from Miyuki Takara. She owns a very large white dog and has a parasol in her yard. Her hobbies include reading books, playing the piano, and playing with her dog, Cherry. A very quiet girl (usually speaking in as few words as possible) who does not show much emotion, Minami is often mistaken for being cold, but she is very kind at heart. However, many jokes arise when her seemingly "perfect and sleek" appearance is contradicted, such as when Miyuki's mother notices Minami teaching Cherry how to stand on her hind legs by mimicking the position herself; Minami often blushes heavily and stares at the floor in response to such teasing. Like Konata, Minami has a flat chest as well, but she is ashamed of it. She was admitted to Ryōō Gakuen High School, along with Yutaka Kobayakawa, whom she met during the admissions exam; afterward, she helped Yutaka go to the nurse's office when she became sick. Once there, she gave Yutaka her handkerchief, which started their friendship. She and Yutaka are in the same class, and Minami is the class health officer. She's the 'mysterious' and 'emotionless' one out of the group according to her friends. Similar to Konata, in both the Japanese and English dubs of the anime she has the same voice actress as Yuki Nagato of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya; like Minami, Yuki is also a 'mysterious' and 'emotionless' character, although for different reasons.

Minami has short, mint-green hair and her eyes are slightly slanted upward, giving them a 'sharp' appearance similar to that of Kagami's. She is very slender and quite tall for her age. Due to her short hair and lean body structure, Minami has a tendency to look more androgynous than the other Lucky Star characters (a reason that Hiyori Tamura often pairs her and Yutaka as yuri models). She gets along with Miyuki, since they have similar tastes and are from the same neighborhood; Minami has often been compared to being Miyuki's "little sister" due to Minami's clingy attraction to her neighbor from when they were younger.

Patricia Martin (パトリシア・マーティン, Patorishia Mātin?)

Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (old drama CD, NDS video game), Nozomi Sasaki (anime, PS2 and PSP video game, new drama CD), Patricia Ja Lee (English)

Patricia, nicknamed "Patty" (パティ, Patti?), is a first-year transfer student from the United States. She is in the same class as Yutaka Kobayakawa and Minami Iwasaki. Patricia loves anime and manga and has learned all her Japanese through them, leading to her having a very unusual Japanese vocabulary. She tends to make quite a few generalizations of Japan and Japanese culture based on otaku culture, even more so than her senior, Konata Izumi. She claims to enjoy a wide range of Japanese music, however the only artists she listens to are those who have performed anime theme songs, and only those songs alone. She is extremely energetic and lively. Aside from Miyuki Takara, she has the second biggest chest size, which she is often ashamed about, and she is second tallest to Miyuki. Patricia works with Konata at the same cosplay café.

Hiyori Tamura (田村 ひより, Tamura Hiyori?)

Voiced by: Ryōko Shintani (NDS video game and extra drama CD), Kaori Shimizu (anime, PS2 and PSP video game, new drama CD), Philece Sampler (English)

Hiyori is an amateur dōjin artist, who is also the first-year classmate of Yutaka Kobayakawa and Minami Iwasaki. Additionally, she is an otaku who creates her own dōjinshi; her genres are broad, stretching from boys love to yuri. Hiyori is always searching for a good plot to use in her dōjinshi, and tends to imagine Yutaka and Minami in romantic moments, only to grow embarrassed over the idea and break into an emotional outburst, which leaves Yutaka and Minami clueless. Even if she has a moment of enlightenment, she fails to jot down notes about it, which causes her to forget what her great idea was about. Called "Hiyorin" (ひよりん?) by Konata and Kō (also Konata called "Hiyo-hiyo" (ひよひよ?) and Kō called "Hiyori"), she tends to be a kind person, but has unfortunate luck. Hiyori has a friendly personality, but is prone to becoming bashful, leading to simple mistakes during a decisive moment. Throughout the series it is implied that Hiyori has a hard time with animals. This is often portrayed by her interactions with Minami's dog, Cherry. For example, in the OVA, Cherry beats Hiyori with his paws and frightens her. Hiyori has long black hair, a wide forehead, and is a meganekko. She is a member of the Animation Research Club, and is Kō's junior.

Izumi Wakase (若瀬 いずみ, Wakase Izumi?)

Izumi is a girl in Hiyori's, Patricia's, Yutaka's, and Minami's class, introduced in volume seven of the manga. Like Patricia, she is also an otaku, but tries to hide it as she is an upper-class girl who is also class president. However, she runs into Hiyori on one of her shopping trips, who discovers her secret. She is good at home economics, but is bad at art. She likes "cute" things and sweets, as well as coffee and milk.

Ayano Minegishi (峰岸 あやの, Minegishi Ayano?)

Voiced by: Yūko Gotō (NDS video game and extra drama CD), Mai Aizawa (anime, PS2 and PSP video game, new drama CD), Peggy O'Neal (English)

Ayano is Kagami Hiiragi's classmate and has been in the same class with Kagami for the past five years, since middle school; she is a childhood friend of Misao. She is passive and likes to take care of people, hence she is portrayed as a character that looks after Misao. However, according to Misao, when Ayano does get angry, she is much more intimidating. Ayano holds back her long orange hair with a headband, but since her front hair is pulled back, she is looked at as having a large forehead. Also, she can make excellent cookies. She is the only Lucky Star girl who has a boyfriend (her boyfriend is actually Misao's older brother, according to volume 7). At one point, Kagami compared Ayano and Misao to Tsukasa and Konata respectively, saying that she apparently tends to attract the same kinds of friends. She worries much with Tsukasa.

Misao Kusakabe (日下部 みさお, Kusakabe Misao?)

Voiced by: Mikako Takahashi (NDS video game and extra drama CD), Kaoru Mizuhara (anime, radio, PS2 and PSP video game, new drama CD), Lara Jill Miller (English)

Misao is a childhood friend of Ayano since middle school, along with Kagami, her fellow classmate. Misao tends to be quite lazy, simple-minded and an outdoor type of person. She is in the track and field club, hates studying, and harbors a love for video games, despite not being particularly talented at them. She has tanned skin, dark hair, slightly slanted eyes, and a small fang in the side of her mouth.

Misao does not seem to be skilled at playing video games, yet plays them for purely for fun; she notes on having borrowed many games from various people. In fact, her concept of "play for fun" is so strong that she does not mind losing to Kagami, instead marveling at how well her friend plays and making a loud, congratulatory spectacle. This leaves Kagami with a sense of guilt and bewilderment. At one point, Kagami compared Ayano and Misao to Tsukasa and Konata respectively, saying that she apparently tends to attract the same kinds of friends. Misao dislikes Konata for "stealing" Kagami away from her group, and often rants about Kagami leaving her group for Konata who she knew for only one to two years. She calls Konata by the name "Chibikko" (ちびっ子?) which is literally used as an equivalent for "midget" and can be literally translated to "shortie", and she is nicknamed "Misakichi" (みさきち?) by Konata in the manga.

Minoru Shiraishi (白石 みのる, Shiraishi Minoru?)

Kō Yasaka (八坂 こう, Yasaka Kō?)

Voiced by: Rika Morinaga (PS2 and PSP video game)

Kō is the president of the Animation Research Club, and is also the treasurer of the Student Council. She is called "Kō-chan-senpai" (こーちゃん先輩?) by her juniors, including Hiyori, who is a member of the Animation Research Club. She is studying at Ryōō High School in class 2-F and is the only second year among the Lucky Star girls at the time of her appearance (the rest being either first or third year students). She enjoys playing anime-themed fighting games, and also likes to check on new and trendy things, never failing to miss one. She has played fighting games with Konata before, and does not notice that Konata is her senior. She has tanned skin, likes dōjinshi, manga, observing people, chatting, and gambling. In Lucky Star: Ryōō Gakuen Ōtōsai, she is a good friend of Yamato Nagamori.

Yamato Nagamori (永森 やまと, Nagamori Yamato?)

Voiced by: Shion Hirota (PS2 and PSP video game)

Yamato is the central character of Lucky Star: Ryōō Gakuen Ōtōsai, the PlayStation 2 game of Lucky Star. A mysterious transfer student who transfer along with the protagonist in the game, her former school is Saint Fiorina All-Girls High School, and was in class 2-3 before she transferred to 3-B, the same class as Konata. She acts emotionless, spoiled and mysterious, giving her a typical tsuntsun personality. She was Kō's close friend when she was still a junior-high student. In the game, Yamato had a fatal collision with a star-shaped survey spaceship which crashed because of a mysterious event at Ryōō school festival. To prevent the accident from happening, the alien resurrects and fuses with Yamato who transfers to Ryōō High on a mission to reverse time several days before the festival to track down the accident's cause, and after telling the game's protagonist the reason behind the time loop and time reversals, Yamato hopes for the protagonist's trial-and-error déjà-vu to find ways to erase possible events in the school festival that would lead to the accident. After the puzzle is solved, Yamato reveals herself as an alien which leaves Yamato's body and erases everyone's memory about the whole incident and Yamato returns to Saint Fiorina All-Girls High School. In the manga, Yamato retains some alien powers such as ESP and projecting thought, though she's clueless why she can. Her hobby is karaoke and cycling. She likes soft azuki bean jelly, Yukimi Daifuku, and summer. She dislikes shellfish, and winter.
