Her casual outfit consists of a red and black plaid flannel under a grey hoodie jacket, along with black denim pants and black and white sneakers. Although Ichika seems stoic at first glance, she is a quiet, modest, and kind girl who is always thinking about her friends. Adding to her kind nature, and despite her insistence, she is good at complimenting others. According to Honami, she doesn't always communicate very well. At the start of Leo/need's main story, Ichika was listless, without much of a passion and was unable to gain the courage to bring her childhood friends back together, often wondering if things would continue this way. After Ichika discovers the School SEKAI, she gradually becomes more courageous and determined to reunite her friends. Once Leo/need is formed, Ichika becomes happier with her friends and more passionate about music to the point where she even asks Nene to teach her how to sing. She also tries performing on the streets to improve her skill. She enjoys spending time with her childhood friends and cherishes them deeply. In Resonating with you, Ichika's passion and determination grows even stronger as she realizes what she truly feels. Ichika loves Miku's songs and is always listening to them whenever she feels bored and looks at them for reference. She dislikes noisy places; for example, she doesn't enjoy visiting Phoenix Wonderland unless Saki goes with her.
