Azusa Nakano
Azusa Nakano is a new student Sakura High. She decides to join the Light Music Club after seeing their performance in the school festival and becomes the group's rhythm guitarist.
She joins the light music club at the middle of the first season. She is often exasperated by the tea and sweets served by her club mates, and by the costumes they wear. However, she has a certain weakness for sweets and can be calmed down rather easily, sometimes just from being petted. Yui nicknamed her Azu-nyan (-nyan is a Japanese suffix associated with cats) after convincing her to try on a pair of cat ears and meow. Ironically, Azusa is not too good with cats. In the band, she looks up to Mio mostly due to her maturity. She even tries to give Mio chocolate on Valentine's Day. However, she sometimes unintentionally makes remarks concerning Mio's weaknesses, such as her weight. She gets a tan very easily, once during their time at the beach and another during a music festival (even after applying sunscreen). Azusa is always frustrated with the club's aloof behavior, but she tends to get roped in inadvertently, and ends up enjoying herself as well. She is also very smart and takes care of Yui when she can, making study plans for her, teaching her guitar, and cheering her up by meowing or cosplaying for her.
