Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Cassandra Lee (English)[5]Taiga is a girl in Ryūji's class, as well as the series' main female protagonist. She has a well-regulated and beautiful appearance though lacking capability of stomaching company of others. Due to her name, tendency to often snap at others in brutal ways and her short stature, she is given the nickname "Palmtop Tiger" (手乗りタイガー Te Nori Taigā?). Her under-developed body and the added nickname has given her a complex which in turn serves to fuel her a negative attitude and facial expressions further. Essentially, Taiga gets upset easily and is also brutally honest with others, typically when she is lashing out at someone. Due to her cute looks (described as a doll by Ryūji), she often gets confessions of love by boys, but she turns down every one of them, including Yūsaku Kitamura (which she later regrets). She is clumsy and tries to hide that too; it seems that only Ryūji has observed it.
