A musical genius who achieved excellent results in numerous competitions since childhood, earning the nickname "Angel of the Music World." She no longer participates in competitions. While blessed with such piano talent that her mother praised her saying, "You are much, much better at the piano than ordinary children," she was once told by a friend, "Playing piano with you isn't fun, Hotaru-chan," a memory that still clouds her expression. From this experience, while she describes her musical talent as a "rainbow-colored light," she has come to worry that it might be a "bad thing that hurts others." She has a kind-hearted personality. While pure and sensitive, she also has a naive, sheltered side. Her tone is polite and based on honorifics. She is soft-spoken, shy, and very reserved. "Actually, it's..." "Hehe... I see." How she addresses others: Mahoro -> Mahoro-san Tomoka -> Tomoka-san Natsume -> Natsume-san Nagi -> Nagi-san

She reportedly checks the TV horoscope every day. Also, she kind of likes the smell before it rains. She is childhood friends with Nagi Kotohira and they are very close.

She has a troublesome side, often occupying the school rooftop without permission to blast her guitar. She has high self-esteem and takes great pride as a band member. When Hotaru offered to help with something, Natsume once snapped, "You don't know anything, yet you talk like you understand everything!" but she has since accepted her, saying things like "Not bad," "You should have been serious from the start," and "How cheeky," suggesting she likely likes her now. Her tone is very aggressive, sharp, and provocative. "Why a cafe? What about practice?" "Hmph, like I care." "Did you say my guitar is in the way?"

Sociable and sensible, yet possesses a bit of a playful streak. She has a strong interest in overwhelming "talent." A lovely and elegant girl who can be seen looking at the highly talented Hotaru Shiomi with literal heart-eyes and an intense gaze. It is said that her smile is scary, and she sometimes asks for agreement from her conversation partner, saying, "That's not true, is it?" Tomoka is popular in her class. She feels conflicted about always being at the center of the circle despite not having outstanding talent herself; she thinks that if a genius is present, she won't have to stand out. Speech Style: "Well, well, it's a welcome party, so isn't it fine?" "Anything you need♪" "Please rely on me anytime♪" Characterized by a lady-like, harmless, and sociable way of speaking, leaning toward formal honorifics.
