Saaya Yamabuki, also known as Fermentation Girl, is one of the main characters from the BanG Dream! series.
== Charactah Account ==
The drummer of Poppin'Party. As the oldest of three children, she's a gentle and kindhearted person who acts as the older sister figure for her band. She cares deeply for her family and is often seen helping out at her parents' bakery. She played in a girls' band in middle school, but quit due to her worries over her mother's health. Regardless, Kasumi managed to reignite her love of music and convinced her to join the band with her family's blessing. 
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. Because of her kind nature she has a hard time saying "no" to her friends or their requests, such as helping Hagumi to study.

== Trivia ==
* In the original storyline, she used the Katakana romanization of her name while "exchanging diaries" through the desk she shares with Kasumi. (Kasumi attends day classes, while Saaya attends night classes, hence how they "share" desk.)
** She also had three younger siblings, took care of the bakery and all the household chores in the house, and listened to different kinds of music for each kind of pastry while doing preparations for the bakery. Instead of her mother, her father was the one who got sick before an important performance, leading to Saaya quitting her former band. Meanwhile, it is mentioned in this storyline Saaya's mother had passed away.
** In episode 2 of BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!☆PICO, Saaya mentions that she has been practicing to play the drums with 3 drumsticks (this is also shown in the ending). This could be a reference to the original storyline's Saaya, who is also skilled at that.
* Saaya owns a lot of hair scrunchies and collects them as a hobby, even if she doesn't wear all of them.
* She has the same height as Ran, Rinko, Misaki, and Nanami.
* Saaya is disliked by animals and they always tend to bite, scratch, or run away from her when she tries to pet them.
* Saaya loves romance movies and classic Cinderella stories.
* After the event My Design, My Texture, Saaya became, as said by Aya, hooked on photography. She often carries her camera around with her and was even the photographer for the official pamphlet Poppin'Party made during the Welcome to Open School! event.
* In the A Certain Scientific Railgun T collaboration, her character design was based on Shokuhou Misaki.
