Moe Yanagida is Ichigo Momomiya and Miwa Honjo’s close friend and classmate, instantly recognizable by her bright yellow hair and fun-loving personality.
She is one member of the infamous school trio often nicknamed the “Three Baka Trio” for their playful, occasionally silly antics.
Moe is fiercely loyal to her friends and always accompanies Miwa Honjo and Ichigo Momomiya, supporting them through school troubles and romantic ups and downs.
Moe is cheerful and incredibly supportive, especially in matters of love.
She is a bit absent-minded at times, sometimes putting off homework until the end of summer break, resulting in frantic late-night study sessions.
Her strong, expressive personality shines through whether she’s encouraging Ichigo’s crush or firmly refusing to help with homework copying requests.
Her dreams are mature and empathetic: Moe wants to become a counselor one day so that she can help others with their problems.
Moe first has a crush on Ryou Shirogane in the first series, but the feelings never develop beyond admiration from afar, and she ultimately remains only a fan.
In the sequel, she enthusiastically supports Ichigo Momomiya’s budding romance together with Miwa Honjo, acting as an earnest and reliable wingwoman.
Voiced by Akiko Nakagawa in the original series and Iori Saeki in the “New” adaptation, Moe’s lively and caring energy remains consistent across the anime’s adaptations.
She does not possess any superpowers, but her presence is vital to the warmth and humor of the story.
