Nijika Ijichi

Birthday: May 29 / Height: 154 cm / Weight: 48 kg / Blood Type: A

Drummer. Second to third year at Shimokitazawa High School. A clear-headed and caring band leader who also plays the role of mediator. Additionally, she is the voice of reason who handles most of the retorts in the series. Her trademark is a polka dot ribbon, which she usually wears somewhere on her body. She lost her mother in an accident during her childhood and her father is often away from home due to work, so she mostly lives with her sister Seika at home.

To make her sister's live house more famous and to fulfill the dream of becoming popular on behalf of her sister who quit the band, she formed a band with her best friend Ryō. After a while, when Ikuyo ran away, she was looking for someone to take over the guitar and by chance found Hitori carrying a guitar. She approached Hitori to temporarily perform at the band's live show as a guitarist, and seeing Hitori unable to respond immediately, she assumed agreement and forcefully took her to the live house, eventually making Hitori join the band. Through Hitori, she also welcomed back Ikuyo and officially started band activities.

She also handles the band's finances and is skilled in design, creating the band's logo and CD jackets, as well as editing videos for posting on video sharing sites.

She is fundamentally gentle and kind-hearted, never blaming members for failures, and always makes sure to praise and appreciate them when they do well. She is a homebody who rarely goes out except for school or important errands, helping at the family's live house or doing household chores. She also has a lonely side, tearing up when encountering scary situations wishing to see her "big sister," and was happy to hear that Ryō, who decided not to go to college, would come to visit her at university.

She invited Ryō, who had left a previous band, to remind her of the joys of being in a band, created an opportunity for Hitori to change by inviting her to the band, and when Ikuyo initially ran away, she worried about her and easily welcomed her back to the band, showing strong leadership.

At home, located above the live house, she does household chores including cooking, taking over her sister's share as well. She manages her studies above average and hopes to advance to Yoshida University.

She has become accustomed to taking care of Ryō, who is also her classmate and best friend, but occasionally resorts to violent retorts, including hitting or using wrestling moves (German suplex, Romero Special) on Ryō. She was genuinely angry when she found out Ryō was mooching meals off Hitori and Kita, but deep down, she is lenient towards Ryō. While pursuing her dreams, she realistically considers her own future and that of the band, often overseeing the other members and mentally noting things without voicing them. She also tends to speak coarsely when excited.

Originally a fan of Guitar Hero, she was the first to realize that Hitori was the real person behind it, but kept it a secret from the other members until Hitori's identity was revealed by Poison♡Yami at Hitori's request.
