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

The Drummer of Afterglow. A reliable and mature girl who often works hard for the sake of others, she serves as the emotional bedrock of her band. She is often seen helping out around the shopping district and plays the taiko drums in the town festivals. She is the older sister of Ako, the drummer for Roselia, and is loving and supportive of her younger sister, if a bit bemused by her antics.

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

Appearance
Despite only being a first year student and the same age as the other Afterglow members, Tomoe has the appearance of a young adult. She has slanted turquoise eyes and long, sleek maroon hair.

She is shown in mature, but "cool" style outfits, usually adorned with studs or chains.

Originally when performing she wore a plain white top with a dark green fur lined vest, black denim pants with chains and belt accents, dark green and black boots, and a black studded wrist ornament. She wears the black choker worn by her bandmates.

Currently she wears the same boots and choker as her bandmates, along with a black hoodie that has Afterglow and splatter markings on it. She has a different pair of pants, top, and earrings on.

During middle school and prior Afterglow's formation, Tomoe's hair was much shorter and it reached only around her ears; and when she was even younger, she wore her hair in a long ponytail.

Personality
Tomoe is a fairly relaxed person, who never says anything bad about other people or holds grudges against them. She keeps the band from falling apart. She is idolized for her cool, but mature way of handling things.

Despite her mature, punk look, she is very caring towards others and is always there to lend support or a shoulder to cry on. While she is unable to understand Ako's behavior at times, she loves her sister and supports her.

She is also shown to be hot-blooded and the type to rush into things head-first if she thinks someone she loves has been hurt. This has a tendency to backfire on her at times. Adding to this, Tomoe is also capable of sharing the same mental wavelength as Kasumi and Kokoro.
