Hanayo's character arc often involves her overcoming her insecurities and finding her voice, both literally and figuratively, as she performs with the group.

In the anime series and manga, Hanayo is depicted as a loyal and supportive friend. She often plays a role in composing songs for μ's, leveraging her keen ear for music. Her design is characterized by her light blue hair and distinctive green eyes. She shares a close bond with Rin, and together they represent a dynamic duo within the larger group of nine idols. Hanayo's journey highlights themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the pursuit of one's dreams.
