Hirasawa Yui (Yui Hirasawa) K-ON! Images

Birthday: November 27

Yui Hirasawa (平沢(ひらさわ) 唯(ゆい) Hirasawa Yui) is the main character of the series K-ON!. She is the air-headed lead guitarist and vocalist of the light music club.

Yui is a girl who's easily distracted by cute things and tasty food. She's a crybaby but cheers up easily if she gets some sweets. She eats a lot of sweets but she does not gain as much as she eats, she said to herself. In many ways some may say she's a child, and making sure she practices is a problem. When Yui takes good care of something, like her electric guitar- Guitah, she sleeps with it, plays dress up with it, and even also have tea time with it. When she wants to remember something she forgets everything else. Yui's energy seems to come from cake. She is a clumsy, scatterbrained but optimistic and kind-hearted girl.

Yui gets good grades in school and but is easily distracted by trivialities. Yui is clumsy and easily distracted most of the time. She has her younger sister Ui, who is very mature and acts as the "older sister" of Yui, to take care of her and keep herself in line. She has a very easy-going nature, but has incredible concentration when hyped, though this is only limited to 3-4 subjects at a time. Despite all her flaws, Yui is still a fundamentally good-hearted girl who openly expresses love with hugs and adorable nicknames (most notably "Azu-nyan" for Azusa), and once devoted to something she is loyal to a fault, and can display near-genius levels of competence to the subject of devotion, as shown by her perfect score in the makeup exams to return to the band. She has perfect pitch and thus can tune her guitar by ear flawlessly. She is the group's main vocalist, although she is known to forget her lyrics in mid-performance, as well as overdoing things, making her unable to perform sometimes. She is the sort of person who learns by being shown, rather than by having read about it. Yui shows this lack of technical knowledge when she does not know what a palm mute or vibrato is when Azusa suggests the use of one when teaching her, but could use one in her music.
