Description
Tsugumi Hazawa is a third-year student and student council president at Haneoka Girls' High School. She plays keyboards for the band Afterglow, utilizing both a Clavia Nord Stage 2 EX Compact and a Roland AX-1 Keytar. Her family owns Hazawa Coffee, where she works part-time with Eve Wakamiya and Tsukushi Futaba.
She possesses chin-length chestnut brown hair styled in a bob with a side-swept fringe and soft brown eyes. Her signature accessories include two sunflower-shaped hairpins and a small brown wristwatch. Seasonally, her casual outfits vary: a cream button-up cardigan paired with a brown striped dress and black tights; a patterned cardigan featuring dark brown sleeves, a teal skirt, and black tights in winter; and a white T-shirt with a light blue-gray floral dress in summer.
Personality-wise, Tsugumi considers herself the most ordinary member of Afterglow. Her optimism and diligent nature consistently lift her bandmates' spirits. While she rarely feels discouraged, interactions with new people easily fluster or panic her. Humility leads her to downplay accomplishments and struggle with confidence in her skills. As the initiator of Afterglow's formation, she consistently encourages the band to embrace new challenges, like participating in the Girls Jam concert.
She holds a deep appreciation for nature, especially celestial bodies. A stargazing experience ignited her interest in astrology, prompting her to memorize friends' astrological signs and learn constellation locations and mythological origins. She uniquely possesses the ability to spot the first visible star after sunset. Tsugumi adores dolphins, enjoying shows and valuing the visible trust between dolphins and trainers.
Her hobbies encompass collecting bath bombs and reading shoujo manga, which she shares with bandmate Moca Aoba. She acknowledges the problematic habit of staying up late reading manga or sheet music. Tsugumi dislikes black coffee but loves her mother's homemade cakes. She fears thunderstorms and, as an only child, expresses envy towards siblings who perform music together, like Tomoe and Ako Udagawa.
In the chibi spin-off *BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!☆PICO*, Tsugumi faces a crisis upon noticing she is the only Afterglow member without fan reviews. Inspired by a death metal band, she temporarily adopts a similar aesthetic for a performance. Initial success gives way to bandmate Ran Mitake's discomfort, leading Tsugumi to abandon the approach and revert to her usual style.
Within Afterglow, Tsugumi uniquely addresses bandmates using the "-chan" honorific. When she exerts exceptional effort, they describe her as "Tsugurific" (*Tsugutteru* in Japanese). Her name's kanji reflect her traits: "Hazawa" (羽沢) combines "feather" (羽) and "stream" (沢), while "Tsugumi" (鶫) means "thrush," a medium-sized songbird.
She stands 156 cm tall, sharing this height with Kasumi Toyama, Aya Maruyama, Hina Hikawa, and Kanon Matsubara. Her birthday is January 7, making her a Capricorn. In collaborations like *Persona*, her character design incorporates elements from NOIR and Milady.
