Description
Himari Uehara is a third-year student at Haneoka Girls' High School. She serves as the leader and bassist for the band Afterglow. Her appearance features medium-length pale pink hair styled in low pigtails with layered layers and straightened bangs, fair skin, and green eyes with sharp corners. She typically wears feminine casual attire with a monotone color scheme.
Personality-wise, she is cheerful, good-natured, and acts as the band’s coordinator. She sometimes struggles to read social situations, leading to actions that lack effect. Emotionally sensitive, she is easily moved to tears by sentimental or tearjerker scenarios and possesses a romantic inclination. Her clumsiness and susceptibility to teasing are notable. She enjoys comparing and making sweets from convenience stores and has a fondness for cute items like stuffed animals and fashionable clothing, though she desires to be perceived as "cool" by others. Her enthusiastic ideas, such as promoting her catchphrase "Hey, hey, ooh~!", are often playfully rejected by her bandmates, who express underlying support.
Afterglow formed during middle school among childhood friends aiming to stay together, with Himari providing emotional cohesion. She maintains friendships outside the band, including with Rimi from Poppin'Party, whom she meets at cram school. She developed a close bond with Aya and Lisa after the "Happy Summer Vacation!" event due to shared personalities and interests. Her personal life includes a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant and concerns about her weight, a topic Moca frequently teases her about. She often visits Hazawa Coffee to confide in Tsugumi after hours.
Himari plays a Fender American Vintage '74 Jazz Black bass, a discontinued and rare model. She was initially the only band leader in the franchise who was not a vocalist. Her leadership involves rallying the band, though her ideas occasionally misfire. She demonstrates hidden talents, such as sewing handmade "lucky charms" for Afterglow members, which become cherished items attached to their instrument cases. She is susceptible to seasickness and has an older sister described as intimidating when angered.
In spin-offs like "Girl's Blossom Project," she is depicted as a second-year at Garupa Private Academy, an average student and tennis club member motivated by a cherry blossom tree legend. In "GARUPA☆PICO," her comedic traits are highlighted, including emotional outbursts and light-hearted interactions, such as being labeled the "Crybaby bassist" in episode introductions. Character growth is shown through her deepening friendships and consistent dedication to maintaining Afterglow’s unity amid everyday challenges.
