Height: 156 cm (5'1") A student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School and the vocalist and rhythm guitarist in the band Poppin'Party. When she viewed the stars one night as a child, she heard a sparkling "Star Beat" and had been searching for it. She believes that she found it after founding Poppin'Party. She also has a little sister named Asuka, who she calls "Aa-chan". It's not always clear who is the more responsible out of the two. Cheerful and always in high spirits, Kasumi is a playful, active and generally positive girl that always finds something to be excited about. She is capable of sharing a mental wavelength with Kokoro Tsurumaki, something nobody else seems to be able to do. She is also the type to believe in (or fall for) the strangest explanations. However, Kasumi is also quite forgetful, tending to do important things by last moment (though unintentionally so). She loves to tease Arisa, but given Kasumi's kind personality, it's hard to tell if she is deliberately trying to provoke her or if she's oblivious. At times she can also behave melodramatically.

Female
Height: 152 cm (5'0") Instruments: Roland JUNO-DS 61 W and Roland AX-Synth (White) Arisa is a first-year student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School and the keyboardist of Poppin'Party. In the second season of the anime, she is a second-year student and the student council secretary. Arisa's grandparents run a pawnshop called "Ryuuseidou", and she lives in a big and traditional house, which includes a basement where the Poppin'Party members practice most of the time. When Arisa was younger, she started to learn the piano but then quit it halfway because she didn't have any motivation to continue - when she befriended Kasumi and heard about her plans to start a band, she picked it up again. Arisa is an introvert whose hobbies include tending for bonsai plants and internet surfing. Even though she's basically a shut-in and admits being lazy by nature, she still manages to achieve excellent results in school. It was shown that in the past that Arisa was a lonely type. She is also quite moody and grumpy, and because of her sharp tongue, often gets into arguments with others (especially Kasumi). Usually, however, this is because she is unable to be honest with herself.

Rimi Ushigome

Female
Height: 150 cm (4'11") Instrument: ESP Viper Bass A student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School and the bassist of Poppin'Party. Outside of the band, Rimi is friends with Misaki, and similarly to Himari, one of Kaoru's fangirls. Rimi's pink bass guitar is a hand-me-down from her older sister Yuri, who is two years older than her and is the lead vocalist of the band Glitter Green. During Rimi's high-school entrance ceremony, she heard Kasumi's self-introduction that was filled with boundless optimism, and this sparked her interest in her. Though Rimi wanted to change her cowardly and shy personality, she had initially been unable to do anything about it. At first, Rimi declined Kasumi's invitation to become a member of the band Poppin'Party because of her stage fright, but everything changed when she became inspired by Kasumi who sang on stage at Live House Space until Glitter Green, who were late because of the weather, arrived. She eventually found her confidence to overcome her stage fright and managed to perform with Kasumi and Arisa. After the show, she finally decided to join Kasumi's band as its third member and bassist. Rimi is a shy and reserved girl who admires her older sister and often gushes over her. She tends to compare herself to the others frequently and wishes she could be more confident and be able to "speak up" more often. Rimi is cute and sweet-natured and often blushes when flustered, but at times can be very determined and strong as well. As Rimi used to live in the Kansai region, her Kansai dialect sometimes slips into her speech when she stumbles on her sentences or is very nervous; she is a bit embarrassed about this.

Height: 164 cm (5'5") Instrument: ESP Snapper Guitar A student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School and the lead guitarist of Poppin'Party. The other members call her O-Tae. Tae lives with her parents and 20 rabbits. She has considerable skill with the guitar, since she started playing it when she was in elementary school. As a huge lover of music, she started working part-time at a live house after entering high school. Tae at first doubted Kasumi's idea to audition at Space, because the band needed a considerable skill level to pass. But when Kasumi, Arisa, Rimi, and Tae performed for the first time in front of their friends and family, Tae realized how much fun she had performing with them and joined the band as its fourth member. A relaxed individual who lives at a steady pace, Tae sometimes surprises the people around her with her keen observations and understanding of music. She carries a sense of knowing in her discussions with others, while always keeping an optimistic outlook on a situation. She loves rabbits and is constantly thinking about them, sometimes to the point of daydreaming and losing focus during a conversation. She affectionately refers to one of her rabbits, Odd-Eye (Occhan in Japanese and Oddie in the localized version), as her boyfriend.

But thanks to Kasumi, who never gave up on her, and her mother's support, she regained her passion for music and her desire to perform in a band, thus became the last member of Poppin'Party to join. A kind, empathetic and hardworking person who cares deeply about her friends and family, Saaya often lends an ear to Kasumi and Rimi. She is generally level-headed and easygoing, and is like an 'older sister' to the other girls, always willing to help them out in hard times.

Sayo Hikawa
Pendukung
Female
Height: 161 cm (5'3") Sayo is a third year student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School and the guitarist of Roselia. She is the older, more serious twin of Hina. Sayo sees being the eldest twin as more of a burden than anything. Ever since they were younger, Hina has always beated Sayo in everything; whereas Hina can master new skills with ease, Sayo requires a great deal of information before she can even begin to practice. As a result, Sayo developed a severe inferiority complex towards Hina. One of Sayo's main reasons for starting to play the guitar was because "it was something Hina wasn't doing". A serious and fussy girl, Sayo is somewhat cold in nature, even towards those she is close to. She never cuts corners or accepts shoddy workmanship, and she tends to stubbornly deny liking or being fond of certain things, such as fluffy animals or french fries. In comparison to Hina, Sayo is stiff, sharp, and very stubborn when trying to do what she believes is best for others. She is very formal, addressing everyone by their last names, except for her sister and Tomoe. Like Yukina, she is prone to make snide or rude remarks, though often these remarks do not reflect how she actually feels.

She is also the band's costume designer and sews their outfits all by herself. Her hobbies are reading and playing online games, the latter through which she met her best friend, Ako. Socially awkward, Rinko is a shy and asocial girl who was initially too frightened to speak in front of others, let alone perform before them. She has a tendency to stammer when speaking, and usually keeps quiet until she feels comfortable. When she is set on or passionate about something, however, she does so with conviction, like piano or online games. Rinko also tends to get very excited about her passions, to the point where when she was explaining how Neo Fantasy Online worked to the other Roselia members, she was speaking in an alarming speed.

She admires Yukina and her older sister Tomoe, and is the best friend of Rinko, whom she calls "Rin-rin". Ako has chuunibyou tendencies, and has illusions of grandeur and magical powers. Rinko suspects this is the result from her playing online games frequently. She enjoys playing the role while keeping a realistic mentality. She is very cheery and noisy, and, despite only being two years younger than the other band members, is treated like the kid sister by the other characters due to her childlike appearance and personality. Ako often wonders how she can be a "cooler" person, and sometimes feels inadequate compared to her other band mates, especially since Yukina and Sayo occasionally ignore her or scoff at her ideas at times.

Because of this, she has no qualms with chiding or insulting someone if she feels they are underperforming. She is openly dismissive and unkind to people she deems below her standards. However, with the people she warms up to, she is not quite as nasty as usual. She also has a soft spot for cats, though she refuses to admit it.

Despite her proficient skills as a bassist, Lisa believes she is the least skilled member of Roselia. She gets sentimental and easily cries when her friends, especially Yukina, reaffirm just how much she is needed in the band or in general.
