Backstory
When she was a child, she saw a violin performance on TV that touched her heart. Her parents helped her take violin lessons.

Personality

Kaimei Rock Festival
As Bossun plays the bass guitar, Ayano enters the room where she asks Bossun to let her tune his bass guitar. When Bossun recognizes Ayano as a skilled violinist, he asks Ayano to be his teacher. Ayano agrees and mentors Bossun everyday until the Kaimei Rock Festival. During those days, Ayano shares her experiences and ambitions with Bossun. When Ayano expresses little confidence, Bossun gives her a pep talk that restores Ayano's faith in her abilities. Though she originally decided not to, the Sket Dan's performance at the Kaimei Rock Festival gave her the courage to go through with it.
