Misaki is a member of Hello, Happy World!. Under the "guise" of the mascot character Michelle, she is the DJ and composer of the band; as Misaki, she is the composer and Michelle's "agent". Misaki is a first-year student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School.

She began wearing the bear costume at her part-time job when she was roped into joining the band by her classmate Kokoro. Despite Misaki telling her bandmates multiple times that she and Michelle are the same person, none of them aside from Kanon believe her. Outside of the band, Misaki is friends with Rimi.

Misaki is kind, reserved and considerate, however she is also known to reply sarcastically and sometimes struggle with the other girls in her band, with the exception of Kanon, whom she considers the only other reasonable member. Naturally, she ends up becoming the "straight man" of the group, scolding or commenting on the antics of the other members in immediate response. Despite her hardworking nature, especially towards Hello, Happy World!, she tends to debase her achievements and say how anyone else could've done it instead of her. For example, whenever people praise her for being able to understand Kokoro's hums and make them into songs, she'll shrug it off with a "it's nothing special".

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. Even more exciting than becoming upperclassmen, however, is the fun they have while performing in their band Poppin' Party… until things get out of control when the girls publicly announce that they're going to do their own concert before they've really studied the issue. 
 
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!
