Yaya Sasame (笹目 ヤヤ, Sasame Yaya) is a supporting main character in the Hanayamata series. She is Naru Sekiya's best friend who has both brains and beauty, but messy handwriting. She is talented in playing drums, and sometimes writes songs for her band Need Cool Quality.
Appearance[]
Yaya has waist-length wavy purple hair with short bangs stopping above her eyes, adorned with a big black ribbon on the left side. She has golden eyes.
Personality[]
Yaya is overprotective towards Naru Sekiya to the point of calling Naru "hers", and has tsundere-like tendencies despite not actually being a tsundere.
She often displays a cool personality, which Naru looks up to. But underneath the cool display, Yaya can actually be a crybaby if she wants to. When Hana N. Fountainstand left Japan, Yaya was seen crying harder than anyone else even though she disliked Hana during the first few episodes.
Background[]
Yaya was the only person that Naru Sekiya befriended ever since her childhood, apart from Tami Nishimikado.
