Kaoru Seta

Kaoru Seta, also known as Nonsensical One-man Show and Kao-chan, is one of the main characters from the BanG Dream! series.
== Charactah Account ==
The guitarist for HHW. A theater performer, Kaoru is always engaging in verbal theatrics both on and off the theater stage, making fans (whom she dubs her "little kittens") swoon for her. It's not always clear how much Kaoru understands what she's saying, and whether or not she can actually "turn off" her theater persona. Despite her flamboyance, however, she's a surprisingly reliable friend and senpai to the others.
Though she appears very intelligent, she can often be just as airheaded as Kokoro and Hagumi - such as mistakenly assuming the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was a woman, or repeatedly attempting to push on a door that can only be opened by pulling. Her catchphrase is "fleeting" - though when Hagumi or Kokoro questioned her about what it meant, Kaoru could not answer.

== Trivia ==
* Kaoru, together with Tomoe, are known as the two most popular girls in Haneoka.
* Kaoru hosts a corner called "Shakespeare with Seta Kaoru" in the broadcasting room during lunchtime.
* Kaoru used to call Chisato "Chi-chan" when they were younger and is very embarrassed about that.
** In return, Chisato calls her "Kao-chan". Kaoru gets flustered whenever Chisato calls her by that nickname.
* Kaoru is the same height as Masuki, and is also the tallest member of Hello, Happy World!
* Kaoru is scared of both heights and scary things. When asked how she can tolerate them during performances, she mentions that she gets so into character that she completely forgets her fear.
* Kaoru has mentioned that she is quite athletic, and that her favorite sports are fencing and horseback riding. She has been shown to be quite skilled in the latter.
** It was revealed that her uncle owns the horses, and one of them is called Silver, while another is called White.
* Kaoru's theatrical, princely, and flirty personality is a rather open parody of the anime otokoyaku; that is, the anime and manga heroines, inspired by actresses playing male characters from the all-female Takarazuka Theater. This is also emphasized by her close friendship with the very feminine Chisato, who can be compared to musumeyaku, actresses who perform female roles in the same theater.
** This also explains her popularity with other girls, because otokoyaku is embodied by the metaphorical image of the "ideal man" who can be simultaneously considered as a charming handsome prince and a reliable female friend who understands women's experiences.
* Kaoru is the only character in the game who has been seen with more than one guitar. Her cards, as well as their chibis in the game, show her posing with at least 3 different guitars.
** Kaoru is also the only guitarist to use semi-hollow and hollow-body guitars, rather than the solid-body instruments the others use.
* Kaoru is the only Hello, Happy World! member to not study at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School.
* In the Ojamajo Doremi collaboration, her design was based on Segawa Onpu.
