Saaya Yamabuki is one of the main characters from the BanG Dream! anime and games.

The drummer of Poppin'Party. As the oldest of three children, she's a gentle and kindhearted person who acts as the older sister figure for her band. She cares deeply for her family and is often seen helping out at her parents' bakery. She played in a girls' band in middle school, but quit due to her worries over her mother's health. Regardless, Kasumi managed to reignite her love of music and convinced her to join the band with her family's blessing.

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

Appearance
Saaya has slanted royal-blue eyes and long, curly brown hair worn in a high ponytail, usually tied up in a ribbon. She has spread-out bangs and shoulder-length curled forelocks.

She wears a long pale yellow skirt with a white, frilly off-the-shoulder top.

Personality
A kind, empathetic and hardworking person who cares deeply about her friends and family, Saaya often lends an ear to Kasumi and Rimi.
