Rokka wears glasses and uses a star-shaped scrunchie, a gift from her friends in middle school, to tie up her hair.

She appears clumsy at times, and when she gets excited or flustered, her local Gifu accent slips out.

She carries a youthful, approachable look and is easy to recognize thanks to her unique hair accessory and glasses.

Rokka is hardworking and determined.

Even though she is unlucky and often gets into tough situations, she always tries her best.

She can be stubborn, a trait her grandfather says she gets from her father.

Because of this, she was called "Rock" by her local friends, a play on her name, and her Tokyo friends begin to use that nickname as well.

She is friendly and caring but has trouble approaching others easily.

Rokka is also a little clumsy and gets nervous easily, sometimes letting her dialect out by accident.

Rokka is originally from Gifu Prefecture and moved to Tokyo for high school.

As a child, she discovered a headless Strandberg guitar at a music shop, and after saving up for years, finally bought it.

She formed a four-girl band with friends in middle school, but they had to stop when high school entrance exams came around.

When she learned that the famous live house "SPACE" was closing, she secretly went to Tokyo to see its last show, even though she was unsure to the last minute.

Her cousin encouraged her to go, and watching "Poppin'Party" play gave her the courage to dream again.

Rokka studied hard to enter Haneoka Girls' High School as a scholarship student because she wasn't good at studying but wanted to help her parents.

She also learned to do daily chores with her mother's help.

After graduating from middle school in March, Rokka moved in to work at "Asahiyu," a public bath managed by her relatives, living there while working as a clerk.

She also helped out at the "Galaxy" live house in a shopping district, which led her to meet "Poppin'Party" and ask them to perform.

Rokka is an excellent guitarist.

When she played a solo during a school festival, everyone was drawn in by her performance and even called for an encore.

After this, her skills attracted the attention of Chiyu Tamade, which changed her path.

Because she once made a mistake on stage due to nerves, she now removes her glasses and lets her hair down when playing guitar.

She is very dedicated and practices a lot, always trying to improve.

Her hobbies include playing guitar, and her favorite foods are red bean paste and baked sweet potatoes.

She dislikes eating ramen in shops because it makes her feel rushed.

Rokka became close friends with Asuka Toyama after bumping into her at the classroom entrance on the first day of school.

They often go to live shows together or hang out in Rokka's room.

She also befriends Mashiro Kurata after watching a "Poppin’Party" live together, but sometimes they argue about how much they admire Kasumi Toyama.

After joining RAS, Rokka found herself in a "little sister" role to Masuki Satō (Masking) and began spending a lot of time with her.

Rokka keeps in touch with her middle school band friends, who supported her move to Tokyo by performing a "Poppin'Party" song for her send-off.

She also regularly calls her family in Gifu.

Starting Her Story

Rokka’s story begins as she arrives in Tokyo, dreaming of joining a band just like her favorite, "Poppin’Party."

She’s clumsy but always tries hard, even when luck isn’t on her side.

Following Her Passion

In middle school, Rokka built a band with friends, but things paused for high school exams.

When the famous "SPACE" live house was about to close, she secretly traveled to Tokyo for the final show.

Watching "Poppin’Party" gave her hope and helped her decide to move to Tokyo for high school.

Moving to Tokyo

After graduating, Rokka moved into a public bath operated by relatives, helping out as a clerk.

She also started helping at the "Galaxy" live house after noticing the manager, Marina Tsukishima, having trouble during setup.

New Beginnings

Even after moving and starting at Haneoka Girls’ High School, Rokka wanted to keep playing in a band but had a hard time asking others to join.

She was often told that bands already had enough guitarists and almost gave up.

After watching "Poppin’Party" practice and hearing their song “Sparkling Dream ~Sing Girls~,” Rokka was inspired again.

She promised herself and the band that she’d one day play with them on the same stage.

Rising as a Guitarist

Rokka’s guitar skills shine at the Haneoka-Flowersawa joint school festival, where she stunned everyone and even got an encore.

The next day, the school was buzzing with talk about her.

Her performance caught the attention of Chiyu Tamade, which would bring big changes for Rokka.

• Rokka takes off her glasses and lets her hair down when performing because she once got too nervous and made a mistake on stage.
• She sometimes slips into her hometown dialect when stressed or excited.
• She dislikes eating ramen in restaurants because she feels rushed.
• Her nickname "Rock" comes from a pun on her name and her strong-willed nature.

Rokka Asahi is a key character in the anime’s second and third seasons, as well as in the manga "RAiSe!"

She also joins the game "Girls Band Party!" starting in Season 2 stories, appearing in both story events and card artwork.
