Members of K-On! band :

Yui Hirasawa (平沢 唯)
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki

Yui is the main character of K-On!. She is one of the members of the light music club, and plays a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Classic electric guitar. She does not get good grades in school (though properly coached, she can achieve astounding results, as shown when she has to sit for a re-test and achieves full marks after some tutoring from Mio) and is easily distracted by trivialities. Yui has a very easy-going nature but when hyped, has incredible concentration, though this is only limited to one subject at a time. She will totally neglect any other things in the process, to the point of forgetting anything she has learned beforehand. Her surname is taken from P-Model guitarist Susumu Hirasawa.

Mio Akiyama (秋山 澪)
Voiced by: Yoko Hikasa

Mio is a shy girl in the light music club who plays a left-handed, 3-Color Sunburst Fender Precision Bass, Fender Jazz Bass in the anime, with a tortoiseshell pickguard . She originally intended to join the literary club, but was forced into the light music club by her childhood friend Ritsu. She gets excellent grades in school, but is bad with listening to stories involving painful experiences, and will assume a fetal position whenever something gross is brought up. While she can be strict sometimes, she gets embarrassed easily, and cites that she chose bass since it is not in the center of attention like with guitar. She is the main vocalist in the group and also writes the songs, although they can feature some odd lyrics. Her surname is taken from former P-Model bassist and keyboardist Katsuhiko Akiyama.

Ritsu Tainaka (田井中律)
Voiced by: Satomi Sato

Ritsu is president of the light music club and plays a Yamaha Hipgig Drumset. She has an ambiguous personality, and often has trouble with forgetting about important club activities and announcements. She says she chose to play the drums because they are "cool", but she has trouble playing instruments which involve intricate finger movements. She is a childhood friend of Mio and will often tease her whenever she is cowering from something. Her surname is taken from former P-Model drummer Sadatoshi Tainaka.

Tsumugi Kotobuki (琴吹 紬)
Voiced by: Minako Kotobuki

Tsumugi is a wealthy girl with a gentle personality who plays a Korg Triton Extreme 88 Key keyboard in the light music club. She has played piano since she was four-years-old, and has experience in winning piano contests. She is the daughter of a company president, and her family has several villas in various places around Japan. When Yui goes to buy her guitar, Tsumugi is successfully able to drive down the price. The reason she gives for her success is that her father's keiretsu just happens to own the store. She often brings confectionery to the club room, along with a tea set which is kept in the room. She is entranced by the sight of two girls together, and will sometimes imagine something more risqué in her head. She originally intends to join the choir club, but joins the light music club after receiving an invitation and encouragement from Mio and Ritsu. Her surname is taken from former P-Model keyboardist Hikaru Kotobuki.
