Arisa Ichigaya

**Arisa Ichigaya**, also known as **Aa-chan**, **Arisa-P** and **Garage Queen**, is one of the main characters from the *BanG Dream!* series.

## **Charactah Account**

The keyboardist of Poppin'Party. An introvert who spends most of her time at home, where her family runs a pawnshop. Snarky and easily flustered, she claims that she was dragged into Poppin'Party against her will, but she doesn't seem to be in any hurry to leave.

Arisa is an introvert whose hobbies include tending for bonsai plants and internet surfing. Even though she's basically a shut-in and admits to being lazy by nature, she still manages to achieve excellent results in school due to her intellect.

She tends to be quite moody, 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. She easily blushes and starts stammering when she gets complimented, especially by her fellow Poppin'Party members. Though she denies it, she gets lonely easily.

## **Trivia**

* In the original storyline, her character color was white. Similarly to the current Arisa she was a shut-in and stayed a lot at home working at the Ryuuseidou before meeting Kasumi. However in the original storyline, her father - who has not been mentioned a lot - had died and left both the Random Star and notebook named "BanG\_Dream!" behind. The notebook also contained a list of events that would lead to Arisa creating a band, just like how he had been the leader of his own.
	+ Just like with Kasumi, Arisa's personality and character were the complete opposite in the original storyline. She also owned two cats named Zanji and Bal.
* Arisa attended the same music school with Rei and Tae, and was part of the Pianist Course.
* According to Saaya, there had been rumors about Arisa being a ghost because she didn't go to school a lot prior to joining Poppin'Party.
* Similarly to Kasumi, she was unable to tell that Wanibe Nanana and the keyboardist of Glitter\*Green's were the same person until witnessing her remove her glasses.
* She likes naming her bonsai trees and talks to them every day. Some of the names she has given to them are Tamagawa, Tonegawa and Popipa.
* She was classmates with Natsuki from CHiSPA during Season 1.
* She has the same height as Chisato and Hagumi.
* Her name, Arisa, pays homage to Alice Myojingawa, one of the members of Milky Holmes Feathers which was also portrayed by Itou Ayasa. The other member being Kazumi Tokiwa, portrayed by Aimi.
