Aoi Saitou is a third year who quit the Kitauji brass band, having played the tenor saxophone since middle school. She is a young girl of below average height and build, who wears the standard Kitauji High School uniform for third year students. Her dark brownish green hair is braided, her bangs are clipped back by two light blue barrettes, and she has light green eyes. She is a very friendly young girl, who is rarely seen being mad or upset. She is calm and takes everything nicely. But she is also mature and understanding, giving Kumiko advice, and she also knows how to take responsibility.
Sound! Euphonium
After swearing off music due to an incident at the middle school regional concert band competition, euphonist Kumiko Oumae enters high school hoping for a fresh start. As fate would have it, she ends up being surrounded by people with an interest in the high school brass band. Kumiko finds the motivation she needs to make music once more with the help of her bandmates, some of whom are new like novice tubist Hazuki Katou; veteran contrabassist Sapphire Kawashima; and band vice president and fellow euphonist Asuka Tanaka. Others are old friends, like Kumiko's childhood friend and hornist-turned-trombonist Shuuichi Tsukamoto, and trumpeter and bandmate from middle school, Reina Kousaka. However, in the band itself, chaos reigns supreme. Despite their intention to qualify for the national band competition, as they currently are, just competing in the local festival will be a challenge—unless the new band advisor Noboru Taki does something about it. From the studio that animated Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Kyoto Animation's Hibike! Euphonium is a fresh and musical take on the slice-of-life staple that is the high school student's struggle to deal with their past, find romance, and realize their dreams and aspirations.
