Masami Iwasawa

Masami Iwasawa is a character from the Angel Beats anime and games.

Masami is the original leader of Girls Dead Monster band, as the band's lead guitarist and vocalist.

Appearance
Iwasawa has chin-length pink-red hair with two locks of hair longer than the rest, extending to her back. She has red eyes. She also wears the uniform of the SSS with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She wears flat calf high black boots instead of normal school shoes as well as black sweatbands on her wrists. As well as having a guitar with a tan or peach color that she finds in the trash. She is 160 cm tall (5'3").

Personality
Iwasawa has a calming demeanour, having been described by Yuri as the "cool beauty". While usually she is rather quiet, she is able to fascinate listeners by striving to create music that speaks her thoughts and feelings.

Iwasawa later reveals that she feels uncomfortable when interacting with other people as she experienced being gossiped about behind her back when she was still living, and has once showed a facade to people to actually talk to her, hiding her true feelings inside. This eventually changed when she meets Yuri, who aside from Hisako has been the first person to show sincerity towards her.

In the manga, Iwasawa can be seen to have a rather comical attitude towards her band mate, Hisako, which often results in Hisako getting angry over Iwasawa. She is often seen as stubborn (as Angel whom she mentioned to be very persistent) at the beginning but as she got to know Hisako better, Iwasawa was actually a clueless, innocent bad-in-naming-the-band girl.

Trivia

 * Angel Beat's Heavens Door revealed that Iwasawa was one of the oldest members of the battlefront in terms of age. Since she was confirmed to be a third-year student this means she would have been around eighteen years old when she died.
