Mio Akiyama

Remember, this is just a summarization. For the full information go to the links posted on Ritsu and Yui's info.

Mio is one of the main characters of K-On and also a member of Hokago Tea Time. She plays a left-handed, 3-Color Sunburst Fender Jazz Bass with a tortoiseshell pickguard, but is shown playing a Fender Precision Bass in the first manga volume. She decided on joining the literary club at first, but is forced into the Light Music Club by her childhood friend Ritsu, who is also the club president and drummer of the club. She gets excellent grades in school but has much trouble listening to stories involving pain, horror etc. While she can be strict and mature, she is easily embarrassed and is the usual subject of teasing from Ritsu and Sawako who is their club adviser and eventual 3rd-year homeroom teacher. She chose the bass because she states that it's not the center of attention in the band, unlike the guitarist.
