Sakuragaoka High SchoolLight Music Clubguitarist and lead vocalist,Airhead, possessing theAbsolute pitchspecial ability. Initially, she mistook "light music" for"easy and simple music"and joined the Light Music Club.
Character Profiles
Life
Her surname is derived from the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band P-MODEL,Susumu Hirasawa。
The guitarist of the Light Music Club, who also serves as the lead vocalist.Airheadindex is off the charts. After learning to play the guitar, she was discovered to have the special ability of "absolute pitch"[1], being able to hear subtle out-of-tune notes as small as 1/8th of a semitone without any auxiliary tools, which madeAzu-nyanwas astonishedHowever, she often asks Azusa-nyan for help with tuning.. Initially, she mistook "light music" for "light and simple music"(such as castanets)" and joined the Light Music Club. When she joined, she was a complete novice who couldn't even read sheet music and could only play the castanets.
She can "focus on one thing" and do it extremely well, but she will ignore other things because of it, as she can only concentrate on one thing at a time.Airhead、Motion sickness, has no sense of rhythm, slow reactions, lacks a sense of balance, and oftenAirheaded, she is poor at both sports and studies, but when she gets serious, she can get a perfect score on a makeup exam, leading her to be called an "extreme person."
After joining the Light Music Club, she started learning the guitar from scratch. She leads a lazy daily life and loves sweets, yet she never gains weight no matter what. She likes cute things (she bought her current guitar because it looked very cute). She named her guitar "Giita." She dislikes being too cold or too hot. She calls her juniorAzusa Nakano"Azusa-nyan" and loves to hug Azusa. She acts purely on intuition and finds it difficult to focus on two things at once. However, once she concentrates on a single thing, Yui's potential is amazing.
At the same time, she forgets many other things; for example, she practiced guitar chords intensely before the midterm exams and memorized many of them, but as a result, she only scored 12 out of 100 on her math test. To stay in the Light Music Club, she busied herself with the makeup exam and actually got 100, but then she forgot all the guitar chords she had previously learned. Because of this, she is often teased as a single-threaded super CPU with insufficient memory.
Although she is very lazy in her daily lifeMoe-ge, giving off a sense ofMessy Room Beautyfeeling, she also has an unexpected side, such as being able to trim her own bangs.
In the 9th episode of K-On!! Season 2, she performed with Azusa Nakano as the "YuiAzu" duo at the talent show, playing "Fude Pen ~Ballpoint Pen~". In the K-On! Movie, she proposed giving a song to Azusa Nakano, and finally, along with the other three seniors, she gave the song "Tenshi ni Fureta yo!" to Azusa Nakano.
There is aSister complexand capable younger sister—Hirasawa Ui, and the relationship between the sisters is very good. WithNodoka Manabeischildhood friend. She usually calls her Wa-chan. In the 17th episode of the second season, Yui wrote her first set of lyrics, "U&I」Ui Ore no AiVoltage and Current. In the 19th episode of the second season, Yui played the roles of "Tree G" and "Tree H" characters. Finally, she got into the same university along with the other three.

Anime Character Designs
Personality
A flighty and airheaded girl. On normal days, she spends much of her time spacing out, leisurely doing nothing at home or rolling around. She has a kind personality, and since her first year, she encouraged the nervousMioand with those who feel coldYounger Sistercan be seen sharing the same scarf. She has a klutzy personality and is bad at doing almost anything: such as having difficulty concentrating while studying, confusing soy sauce with sugar, or accidentally breaking eggs while holding them. That being said, when others are angry with her, they always end up forgiving her upon seeing her silly smile. She has a child-like personality and feels immense joy when praised. Although she usually can't do anything right, if she focuses and works seriously, the results are quite amazing. Occasionally, she comes up with unexpected and quirky ideas for certain things. (For example, in Season 2 Episode 11, because the weather was too hot, she suddenly thought ofpiggyand decided to change into a swimsuit to beat the heat.)
Family
Her father isNodoka Manabe, and her mother isHirasawa Ui. (Just kidding)How can I live without Nodoka and Ui!
She lives in a family of four with her father (CV: Chikara Kitazawa), mother (CV: Rio Natsuki), and younger sister Ui. Her parents are usually away on business trips or traveling (their only formal appearance in the anime is in the movie, on the morning Yui leaves for England), so only Yui andUi(the two also go on trips during Christmas and the end of the year, showing that the couple has a very good relationship)Has a sister, has a house, parents are both busy. At home, her younger sister Ui usually takes care of everything for her. The two sisters have a very good relationship; although Yui lacks the dignity of an older sister, she sometimes fulfills her responsibilities as one, such as cooking congee for Ui when she fell ill before the third-year school festival. Through this, she realized the truth that "the most important and cherished things are always by your side, but are often taken for granted and unnoticed," and with these feelings, she wrote the lyrics for the song "U&IUi Ore no AiVoltage and Current," which fully demonstrates their sisterly bond.
Hobbies
She has a great love for cute girls (especially Azusa) and things. Since she finds Azusa extremely cute, she often hugs her suddenly and passionately. When she first chose her guitar, she also bought it because it was "cute" and named it "Giita" (Gīta); she often sleeps with her guitar and has even dressed it in clothes. She also has a side that loves small animals like dogs and cats (especially dogs!).
However, at the beginning, she had no awareness of guitar maintenance and was oftenAzusa Nakanocriticized.
Physical Constitution
Her body cannot withstand hot or cold weather (including air conditioning); when she has nothing to do, she rolls around at home, and she gets motion sickness on buses. Although she often eats sweets, she never gains weight no matter how much she eats.
Instruments Used
- Electric Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Standard Heritage Cherry Sunburst; Nickname: Giita (Edit Note: At around 27 seconds into the first season's OP, "Standard" can be seen written on the truss rod cover of the headstock.)
(It is worth noting that the commonly referred to 2008 Gibson Les Paul Standard does not feature the keystone tuners and non-transparent back covers seen in the show; parts may have been replaced, or it could be an older version. If you want to purchase the same guitar as in the show after 2008, choose the Gibson Les Paul Traditional and replace the pickguard and truss rod cover.Furthermore, the Traditional is cheaper than the Standard.However, the Traditional was discontinued after 2019, and the Gibson Les Paul Standard and Traditional were merged into a single product line; the new Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s model perfectly matches the appearance in the show.)
- Amplifier: Marshall MG15CDR
- And the god-tierCastanets! Specifically, the Plus Hakousha Castanet Red/Blue[2]
Influence in the Real World
- In the 2012 "Showa vs. Heisei: Best 50 Anime & Tokusatsu Heroes/Heroines" poll voted on by 120 million Japanese citizens, Yui Hirasawa ranked 25th on the Heisei Female list.
- In the 2017 poll of 130 million Japanese citizens for "Showa vs. Heisei: Anime & Tokusatsu Male and Female Characters BEST 30," Yui Hirasawa ranked 14th on the Heisei female list and 3rd among those in their teens.
- The same model of guitar signed by the voice actress was auctioned for a staggering price of 20 million yen.
- The national anime "K-ON!" made a surprise appearance in the Japanese drama "SPEC: Zero." It is said that Ryunosuke Kamiki does not participate in variety shows because he doesn't want to reveal too much of his otaku nature; he usually loves ACG and was recently obsessed with "K-ON!" and likes Yui Hirasawa.
Tree G
In the play "Romeo and Juliet" performed by Class 3-2 during the Sakuragaoka Girls' High School festival, she played a tree numbered G (abbreviated as "Tree G"). This tree has two forms. The first form was mocked by Jun Suzuki, a classmate of her younger sister Ui Hirasawa, who asked, "Do you need to show your face to play a tree?" While performing as Tree G, Yui Hirasawa almost ended her "acting career" with a sneeze, but she managed to hold it in and get through the ordeal. Afterward, Yui Hirasawa filled in for her classmate who went to the Occult Research Club to borrow a tombstone prop (which was actually a stone monument),Shizuka KinoshitaCastTree HGrass (referring to Tree G). Ridiculously, when Yui told Shizuka, "Leave the role to me," she didn't knowShizukawas playing a role with no lines; only after agreeing did she start to panic: "What about the lines..." (In the end,Tree Hit was also a role with no lines, so it was fine.)
