Ritsu Tainaka

Ritsu (Ricchan to Yui and Mugi) is the President and drummer of the Light Music Club, and plays a yellow Rick Marotta Signature Yamaha Hipgig Drumkit, mixed with a Zildjian cymbal set (a floor tom is added in the opening credits, and she plays a white Yamaha Absolute series kit in the closing credits). She is very energetic and drummer-like, always upbeat, but often has trouble remembering important club activities and announcements, and owes Nodoka a fair number of favors over forgotten paperwork. According to Mio, her room is so messy that there is nowhere left to stand. She says that she chose drums because they are "cool", but she admits that she has problems with instruments that need intricate finger movements (notably, the guitar, bass, and keyboard). Ritsu is the kind of person who acts on an idea she just thought of moments beforehand, and has a knack of passing tests by getting Mio to help her in last-minute overnight cramming sessions.Ritsu and Mio are childhood friends, and Ritsu often makes jokes at Mio's expense whenever she can (which usually ends with Mio hitting Ritsu).
