Ako Udagawa is one of the main characters from the BanG Dream! anime and games.

The drummer of Roselia. An silly, energetic girl with a burning desire to be "cool," she was relentless in convincing the ever-so-strict Yukina to give her a chance to prove her talent. Her admiration for her cool older sister Tomoe (the drummer for Afterglow) as well as her love of online games have given her a certain flair for the overly dramatic.

In the AWA fics, Ako appears in the AWA Stories.

Appearance
Ako is a short, petite girl with big, sharp crimson eyes. She has long light purple hair worn in curled pigtails with matching forelocks and straightened bangs. At times she is shown with a fanged tooth.

Her casual attire borders on mix between punk and gothic design with a cute flair.

Personality
Ako has chuunibyou tendencies, and has illusions of grandeur and magical powers. Rinko suspects this is the result from her playing online games frequently. She enjoys playing the role while keeping a realistic mentality. She is very cheery and noisy, and, despite only being two years younger than the other band members, is treated like the kid sister by the other characters due to her childlike appearance and personality.

Ako often wonders how she can be a "cooler" person, and sometimes feels inadequate compared to her other bandmates, especially since Yukina and Sayo sometimes ignore her or scoff at her ideas.
