Tsugumi is a first-year student at Haneoka Girls' High School and Afterglow's keyboardist. She is often called "Tsugu" by her friends. Eve works part-time at Tsugumi's family's cafe, and Tsugumi herself also helps out there. 

Tsugumi views herself as the most normal girl in the band. However, she is a very hardworking and optimistic person who rarely gets discouraged. Her optimism really buoys the other members' spirits. She is the one who also pushes the band to do and try different challenges - for example, entering the Girls Jam in Afterglow's band story, and Tsugumi was even the one behind the girls' idea to start a band. She can easily get flustered however, and tends to panic or have trouble with dealing with people whom she hasn't met before.

Of course, convincing Arisa and her grandmother to sell her the guitar won't be easy, and finding a group of other girls who want to become musicians will be even harder.

The third season of BanG Dream! 
 
The girls of Poppin'Party have come a long way, but the competition coming up is the biggest yet - the BanG Dream! Girls Band challenge at the legendary Budokan! Slots to compete are limited and the usual competitors will be vying for the chance, but the band to beat is the new RAISE A SUILEN, whose founder, Chiyu, has sworn to destroy both Roselia and Poppin'Party! 
 
Indeed, Chiyu's main goal is to make Roselia's lead Yukina pay for denying Chiyu a spot as a producer, and the musical prodigy has the connections and resources to push the competition up to the next level! Can Poppin'Party keep up with the increased tempo and meet challenges like producing their own music video? They'll have to if they want to make it to the big show!

The second season of BanG Dream!. 
 
It's a new school year and Kasumi, Arisa, Saaya, Tae, and Rimi are thrilled to finally be second-year students.

Suddenly they're committed to doing something that's a lot more difficult than it seemed, and the pressure is doubled since their musical rivals in Roselia, who've also announced a live concert, are way ahead of them in planning! But you can't stop the music, and with a little hard work and help from other groups and some talented newcomers, Poppin' Party fever will soon be popping up all over!
