"An Asian black bear keyboardist girl. She's on the Beautification Committee of the Student Council. Before enrolling at St. MIDI Girl's Middle School, she lived deep in the mountains, so she is not familiar with the world. With her perfect pitch and superhuman strength that was nurtured in the great outdoors, she leads the band's melody to even greater quality. She usually daydreams about food."

Out of all of the Criticrista girls, Tsukino has a very child-like personality. Because of this, she is somewhat ditzy and often refers to herself in third person, but she is genuinely is a sweet and kind teenage girl. She is very naive since she spent a majority of her life in Dai Mountain and never left home until she was scouted by St. MIDI Girl's Middle School. She has been shown to have poor money management skills, which can be seen when got sidetracked and spent the Student Council's budget on a snack haul instead of just copy paper.
Tsukino absolutely loves food and almost always brings it up in a majority of her conversations, but she will sometimes use food as analogies. She even runs a blog about food and updates it daily. Tsukino is shown to get easily upset if her food gets spoiled; she almost threw a fit over her crepe falling on the ground were it not for Holmy's intervention.
• Her symbol is a spade and her image color is blue.
• She calls their fans "oniinii" and "oneenee."
Her fans refer to her as "Tsukino-taso" and they know not to interrupt her during her days off or during mealtime since it's their justice as her fans.
• She's a bit of a glutton and is somehow able to eat plates upon plates of food without gaining any weight. She's also a fan of red bean paste.
• Her character song is My Precious Sign. Looping and Perfect Circlet are her character duets with Rosia.
• Tsukino's design has a clever reference to her species, the Asian Black Bear. These bears are ironically also known as "moon bears" due to them having a cream moon-shaped marking on their chests, and it is possible that Tsukino's moon-shaped ahoge is one callback to her origin.
• Tsukino's name comes from the Japanese word for Asian Black Bear, which is "ツキノワグマ (tsuki no waguma)." This may be another reference to her origin as well.
• According to the Criticrista Legends manga and band episodes, Tsukino was scouted in her home in Dai Mountain by the principal of St. MIDI Girl's Middle School.
• According to Tsukino's Japanese voice actor, Ai Kayano, she stated the following in an interview from the SHOW BY ROCK!! Anime Official Fanbook about how she would get into character: "I wondered and thought a lot about how to voice Tsukino while reading the script. But then the sound director Mima (Masafumi) told me, 'Don't worry about it, Tsukino doesn't think about anything, so just relax and voice her how you want.' *laughs* In the end, I just only thought about sweets when voicing her."
• Ai Kayano also mentioned this tidbit in the same interview above when recording her lines as Tsukino: "I (Tsukino) was pretty much eating the whole time. Tsukino has a lot of lines she says while eating, so I was always munching on something while speaking."
• In her Cinnamoroll-inspired costume from the Value Packs Shop, she will eat a cinnamon roll instead of a nikuman in her home screen animation.
• Tsukino and Ai Kayano share the same birth month, September.
• Tsukino has been revealed to like eating raw meat.
