It comes as no surprise that the main character Hitori Gotou ranks first. As the lead guitarist in the band Kessoku, she has captured the hearts of viewers, securing her position at the top of this list.
Throughout the series, Gotou practices guitar diligently every day, honing her skills to reach a professional level. She can perform outstanding solos but struggles with social interactions, making it difficult for her to collaborate within a band. She has gained recognition online, earning the title “Guitar Hero.”
Her introverted nature and challenges with communication have made it hard for her to connect with others, even to the point of avoiding eye contact. However, she remains observant and perceptive of others’ emotions, which adds depth to her character. As the story progresses, Hitori Gotou’s social skills have improved considerably.
