Tae Hanazono is one of the main characters from the BanG Dream! anime and games.

A guitarist of Poppin'Party. A music lover who lives with her parents and her 20 rabbits, one of whom she refers to as her "boyfriend." She is somewhat of an airhead who has a tendency to say bizarre or shocking things with a straight face. Although initially skeptical of the band due to Kasumi's naivete, watching the passion with which they performed convinced her of their potential. During the events of Season 2, she is the initial lead guitarist of RAISE A SUILEN before she was eventually replaced by Rokka Asahi.

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

Appearance
Tae has gentle green eyes and straight, waist-length, dark brown hair. She has choppy bangs with a section of hair that reaches her navel and covers her right ear.

Her casual attire is mature with feminine accents like sheer fabric and gems.

Personality
A relaxed individual who lives at her own pace, Tae sometimes surprises the people around her with her keen observations and understanding of music. She carries a sense of knowing in her discussions with others, while always keeping an optimistic outlook on a situation.

She loves rabbits and is constantly thinking about them, sometimes to the point of daydreaming and losing focus during a conversation. She has compared both Rimi and Arisa to them (Rimi because of her overall nature, and Arisa because her twin tails remind Tae of a rabbit's ears). She affectionately refers to one of her rabbits, Odd-Eye (Occhan in Japanese and Oddie in the localized version), as her boyfriend.
