Hoshino Ichika is a second-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She is the vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist[1] of the band Leo/need.
While Ichika seems stoic at first glance, she is a quiet, modest, and kind girl who is always thinking about her friends. Adding to her kind nature, and despite her insistence, she is good at complimenting others. According to Honami, she doesn't always communicate very well with others. She also tries performing on the streets to improve her skill. She enjoys spending time with her childhood friends and cherishes them deeply. Ichika loves Miku's songs and is always listening to them whenever she feels bored and looks at them for reference. She dislikes noisy places; for example, she doesn't enjoy visiting Phoenix Wonderland unless Saki goes with her. According to her bandmates, Ichika used to be more courageous and impulsive when she was younger - for example, she would step in whenever Shiho was fighting with someone, even if she had no idea what the argument was about, and would also fight off Honami's bullies.
Speaks softly with careful, polite phrasing; short sentences; often adds gentle “…” pauses; compliments in unexpected places; trails off when she gets embarrassed.
