 * Talk to her 3 times in total after her first H event.
 * Raise her love level up to 8.
 * Obtain her ending.
 * Trigger the event "New Moon/Kunagi" ("新月／久那妓") in Forestland (樹海).  For this event to be available you need to stationed her together with Zanma Rouga (斬真狼牙) and Ijuuin Tamari (伊集院玉利) in any area during a New Moon (the circle is all black). This means that you need to put the characters there in the turn before, when there is a Waning Crescent Moon, in order to make the event available during the New Moon.
 * Station her along with Zanma Rouga (斬真狼牙), Zanma Gou (斬真豪), Hibiki Sanae (日比生咲苗), Naruse Yuuki (成瀬有紀) and Jinnai Heita (陣内兵太) in the same region (note: this can still be done after turning Jinnai Heita into Super Heita). Only seems to be available after turn 80 in the National Chapter. (Note: Some other condition might be neccessary. Can confirm obtainable at turn 76, at least. Note 2: Obtained turn 54, after conquering Nightmare Eyes, all her other stars except ending already obtained. Note 3: All stars except ending confirmed unnecessary, obtained with love level 7 directly after viewing its start-of-turn h-event for CG [1-3-3]. Said event or love level might be the prerequisite.)

Other Notes:
 * CGs [1-1-1] through [1-3-2] are obtained through regular H events.
 * CG [1-3-3] is obtained after her love level is above 7.
 * CG [1-3-4] is obtained during the School Festival in her route (Select "School Festival (学園祭)" in Toukyou (闘京) during turns 61 to 69).
 * CGs [1-4-1] through [1-4-3] are obtained as you progress through her route.
 * CG [1-4-4] is obtained in her ending.
 * Zanma Rouga's HP will be restored by 50% whenever you H with her.

Character Checks:
 * Talk to her 3 times after her first H event.
 * Raise her love level up to 8.
 * Obtain her ending.
 * Station Zanma Rouga (斬真狼牙) in the same region as Hibiki Sanae. An event will automatically start on the next turn (or available). For the event to happen you need both Naruse Yuki and Jinnai Heita in your team roaster. Note : Unknown requirement for this event to occur; you don't need to capture Sangoku first. Can be triggered immediately after seeing Himemiya Kaen event about her going to Toukyou.
 * After capturing Sangoku (三国) in the National Chapter, when the public peace of the region starts declining, select the event "Nanae Once More" ("もう一度ななえ"). The Mouri brothers (毛利尊賢 and 毛利尊拳) must be in your roster.

Other Notes:
 * CGs [3-1-1] through [3-3-2] are obtained by regular H events.
 * CG [3-3-3] is obtained when Sangoku (三国) is suppressed.
 * Every time you H with her, you will obtain 50 BP.
 * Every 30 levels she gains 1 Stamina.
 * She'll give you the "ATM Card (預金通帳)" item during the National Chapter if you ever go below 99 BP. You must speak with her to get it.
 * The item "Bucho Ball (ぶちょ玉)" is obtained by stationing Sanae in Nagazaki (NAGASAKI) and selecting the event "Sanae and the Glasses Bridge" ("眼鏡橋と咲苗") after suppressing the Glasses Bridge. To discover the Glasses Bridge, position Zanma Gou (斬真豪) in Nagazaki.
 * Hibiki Sanae is needed for character clears of Tenrou Kunagi, Jinnai Heita, Kyoudou Senna, Mouri Sonken (red), and can be optionally used for a character clear of Koumei Michiru.

Naruse Yuuki / 成瀬有紀
How to obtain: Initial character.

Range: Long

Bond: Friend

Skills:
 * BOOM!: 1 Stamina. Evades combat for that turn. (Skill only available as male Yuuki)
 * Loyalty Boost: Passive. Increases the loyalty of the units stationed in the same region as Yuuki. (Skill only available as female Yuuki)

Character Checks:
 * Station Zanma Rouga (斬真狼牙) and Naruse Yuuki in the same region. If Yuuki's HP is below 9 after combat, an event will trigger. Only available in the National Chapter.
 * After the previous star, station Yuuki with Yamamoto Burai (山本無頼), or Idagawa Ren (韋駄川煉) or Kongomaru Sanzou (金剛丸三蔵) or Mouri Sonken (毛利尊拳) in the same region (only one is necessary). An event will trigger at the beginning of the next turn.
 * After the previous star, station Yuuki with one of the characters not used for the previous star (so if you used Idagawa Ren, don't use him again). After that event triggers, a second event will trigger at the beginning of the next turn (Yuuki doesn't need to be stationed with anyone in particular for this one).
 * Station Yuuki with Cleo Aripa (クレオ・アリパ) in Tottori (塔鳥). Then select the event "Naruse's Shooting Rally" ("成瀬の射撃大会"). You may need to raise Yuuki's level to 70 EXP or higher, and may need to be past turn 40 (I've gotten it as early as turn 25, so I'm not too sure about that one...).
 * After the previous star, have Yuuki fight along with Cleo Aripa (クレオ・アリパ) in combat.

Other Notes:


 * Yuuki is in reality a girl posing as a guy. In order to have him (her) change into her female self for the rest of the game, observe the following as it is complicated:
 * Talk to him three to four times during the conversation phase (can be done during school/district chapter - basically exhaust all his conversation topics until he starts repeating himself).
 * Station Yuuki along with Jinnai Heita (陣内兵太) in any region during the national chapter for 2 turns for 2 separate beginning-of-turn events (second one is food related). They don't need to be stationed together for two consecutive turns.
 * Once Yuuki's experience bar is at /74 or higher, station him again with Jinnai Heita (陣内兵太) in any region. An event should trigger at the beginning of turn (peeping related). (Note: I was able to trigger this event immediately after Yuuki levelled up to 70.)
 * Next, station Yuuki and Francine (フランシーヌ) in any region. An event should trigger where Francine (フランシーヌ) tries to examine him.
 * 5-6 turns later, station Yuuki and Francine (フランシーヌ) together again in any region. It will then be revealed that Yuuki is actually a girl. You can stop here if you don't care about seeing female Yuuki's epilogue scene.
 * For the determined, station female Yuuki along with Hibiki Sanae (日比生咲苗) and an event should trigger at the beginning of the turn.
 * Following that, station Yuuki in Toukyou and trigger an event named "Shopping with Yuuki". Next, talk to her in the conversation phase a couple of times to trigger her H-scene for CG [6-4-3].
 * Finally, station Yuuki and Himenomiya Kaen (姫乃宮華苑) in the same region to trigger another beginning-of-turn event (make-up related). This final scene is required to see female Yuuki's ending.
 * Note that these gender changing events will not trigger if you have already cleared Yuuki's 1st star. Likewise, none of Yuuki's stars can be cleared once Yuuki is revealed as a girl.
 * Yuuki's Stamina will increase by 1 every 30 levels. Caution: Stamina is reverted back to 3 once Yuuki is revealed as a girl (other stats remain the same however) so you may not want to level Yuuki more than 29 times before you reveal Yuuki's real gender.
 * Naruse Yuuki is needed for character clears of Tenrou Kunagi, Jinnai Heita and Ijuuin Tamari.

Jinnai Heita / 陣内兵太
How to obtain: Initial character.

Range: Short

Bond: Friend

Skill:
 * Guts: Passive. High chance to survive with 1 HP after being hit with a killing blow.

Character Checks:
 * Speak to him 4 times in the Companion Phase.
 * Station him with Hibiki Sanae (日比生咲苗) in the same region. An event should start at the beginning of the turn.

 * Station him in Kumamotou (熊元) and he'll go missing. Trigger the event "Search for Jinnai Heita" ("陣内兵太の捜索") for him to return. (See note below.)
 * Obtained when the skill "Ten Years Knuckle" is used in 7 different battles; they only seem to count when used on overground battles (not on dungeons). Also, obtaining this star will make him die.

Other Notes:
 * In order to obtain the skill you must turn him into Super Heita. To do so, station him in Tottori (塔鳥) (note: you do not need to suppress the region), Forestland (樹界) and Kumamotou (熊元). Each time you do so, he will leave and you must trigger an event called "Search for Heita" ("陣内兵太の捜索") in each of those regions. Once you've done it in all three, talk to him in the Companion Phase to power him up.
 * The item "Fire Crystal (ファイアクリスタル)" is obtained after you search for him in Kumamotou (熊元).

Miyazato Erika / 宮里絵梨花
How to obtain: In the School Chapter, select the event "The Rooftop Girls" ("屋上の少女たち") followed by "The Rooftop Girls 2" ("屋上の少女たち２") on the Roof (屋上)of Seijou Academy during the School Chapter.

 * Same as the previous star. This time, trigger "Roar! Miyazato Gang 2" ("轟け！宮里軍団2") followed by "Roar! Miyazato Gang 3"("轟け！宮里軍団3"). The last event will trigger a deathmatch with 4 Sensouji Pep Squad guys.
 * Station her in Toukyou (闘京). If her level has been raised at least 20 times, an event will be triggered if her 4th star has been obtained. This can't be done if Shorko and Saki are stationed in Toukyou as well.

Other Notes:
 * CG [5-1-1] is obtained by getting her second star.
 * All her stars link to the skills of Shoko and Saki, so their skills increase along with hers. Erika's third star clear will also increase their affection levels, for example.
 * The item "Kitty Gold Coin (ネコル金貨☆)" can be obtained randomly by talking to her more than 2 times.
 * She is required to recruit Comet-san (コメートさん). This is done in Shisuoka (志津岡) by selecting the event "Erika at the Observatory"("絵梨花の天文台") 3 times, then choosing to run away when the choice between running and fighting the meteor appears. First, suppress the Observatory. Second, station Erika in this region and wait at least five turns. It's confirmed that she does not need any of her stars for this event.
 * Her starting HP is actually 40, but since her first character check is cleared when she joins, she'll gain additional 5 HP.
 * When talking to her for her second star, any time she attacks you it is a wasted action. You could clear this as early as the School Chapter.

 * After seeing 2 sparring events with Murakumo Shizuri (叢雲静梨), station them together. She will then ask you to let her duel Shizuri. Winning will clear her 5th star.

Range: Medium

Bond: Normal

Skill:
 * Perfect Hit: 2 Stamina. Standard damage, but raises HIT to the max.

Character Checks:
 * Speak to her twice in the Companion Phase.
 * Anytime after her first star is cleared, she will pop up at the beginning of a turn and ask you for your help with something. Select the first choice to trigger one of her H scenes. Only available in the National Chapter.

 * Every 25 levels her Stamina goes up by 1.
 * Obtaining her fourth star powers her up, boosting her attack power and hit rate significantly (~+20) in addition to the usual bonus. Her attack animation changes, too. However, she loses a stamina point. (No matter how many times I do this, her attack only increases by 10 and her HIT does not increase at all; however, her attack animation does change). (Another report suggest that the increment may likely to depend the level of Kinako herself just before the event start. In other word, the boost may or may not be large depending on how often you level up Kinako. Ex, a report of attack increment from 48 -> 82 in a game where Kinako often partipated in battle.) Confirmed that Attack increase is equal to 50% Kinako's current attack + the 10 extra attack since most people get this as Kinako's 4th star.
 * Tsukuyomi Kinako is needed for a character clear of Mori Sonken (blue).
