Description
Arisa Ichigaya, a third-year student and vice president of the student council at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School, balances academic diligence with her role as Poppin'Party’s keyboardist, wielding a Roland JUNO-DS 61 W. Her long blonde hair cascades in curled pigtails, adorned with ribbons, framing gentle light brown eyes beneath parted bangs with playful upturned strands. She favors mature, feminine styles—lace-trimmed blouses, flowing floral skirts, and an off-the-shoulder black top paired with a lilac-patterned white skirt.

Residing above her family’s pawnshop, Ryuuseidou, she transforms its basement into Poppin'Party’s rehearsal space. Childhood piano lessons at a music school shared with Tae and Rei once led her down the Pianist Course, abandoned during middle school for academic focus. Kasumi’s infectious passion for music reignited her spark, drawing her back to the keys.

Once introverted, Arisa found solace in bonsai cultivation and solitary internet browsing, her sharp wit often clashing with Kasumi’s exuberance. Academic excellence masked her struggle to articulate softer emotions, earning her a tsundere reputation—barbed remarks shielding a blush-prone heart. Bandmate teasing gradually softened her edges, revealing warmth and loyalty.

Her evolution from solitary caretaker of miniature trees to a connected, expressive collaborator mirrors her journey with Poppin'Party. She savors anmitsu’s sweetness, hearty brown rice, and hard-boiled eggs, yet recoils at leeks. Each practice in Ryuuseidou’s basement etches her growth: a melody of guarded beginnings blooming into harmonious camaraderie.
