੭ Shiho Hinomori .

Leo/need's bassist. She is determined about music and is often misunderstood due to being a lone wolf who dislikes clinginess. Shiho deeply cares for her band members, alongside who she has chased and achieved the dream of becoming professional musicians.

Shiho started to take bass lessons and be serious about music after meeting Sumire, someone who she looks up and aspires to be.

Shiho, Ichika, Saki, and Honami were friends as children. The group used to stargaze and play music, but because of Saki's hospitalization during middle school, Shiho's relationships with Ichika and Honami became strained. Eventually Shiho was placed in a class where she didn't know anyone. Her classmates tried to befriend Shiho, but she had no interest in them, giving her a bad reputation. Due to the rumors about her, she made Ichika and Honami stop talking to her, in fear of her reputation poorly affecting them.[

After Saki returns to school and they access the School SEKAI, the group slowly reunites and forms Leo/need, named after the meteor shower they watched together as children.

When Shiho was in middle school, she joined the light music club, but became frustrated by the other members' lack of dedication. When she brought this up to the other members, the group got into an argument, leading them to split up and tarnishing Shiho's reputation even more.

Shiho has green eyes, a resting poker face, and short, scruffy gray hair. Her voice is sharp and tomboyish. She wears a blue and grey denim jacket over a white hoodie. Her shorts are dark brown and her sneakers are black.

Shiho is introverted and dislikes interacting with others. She immerses herself in her hobbies and doesn't care what other people think about her. Although she is introverted, she is not unkind, and is usually willing to help others. She is a straightforward person and speaks bluntly. Her cold, detached demeanor comes from her fear of hurting and dragging down those around her.

While Shiho cares for her childhood friends deeply, she is not afraid to be tough on them when she feels it's necessary. She does not give praise often, and when she does, it's usually short and frank. She takes band practice very seriously, and often leads the group due to her having the most experience. She wants to pursue music as a professional someday.

Relationships

Hoshino Ichika: Childhood friends and bandmates. Shiho initially did not want to reconnect with Ichika due to their schoolmates finding Shiho rude and talking badly about her friends. Ichika appreciates Shiho's honesty, talent, and will to improve.

Tenma Saki: Childhood friends and bandmates. While their relationship was once strained and awkward, they have since made up. Shiho can occasionally get annoyed by her carefree attitude, but also worries deeply for her well-being and praises her for doing well in practice.

Mochizuki Honami: Childhood friends and bandmates. While their relationship was once strained, they have since made up. Shiho can be a bit harsh on Honami from time to time, but only as a form of "tough love".
