Yuna Mitake isn't trying to be the best. She's trying to be the loudest, the most honest, and the last one still standing when the lights go up. And in a world that often rewards polish over passion, that makes her not just a great character—but a necessary one.
At first glance, Yuna is pure, unfiltered energy. She’s the childhood friend who never learned how to whisper, the classmate who laughs too loud, and the big sister who punches your shoulder to show affection. But beneath that spiky orange hair lies the most interesting paradox in BanG Dream! : a girl who is simultaneously too reckless to follow a map and too fiercely loyal to ever let you walk alone. Her bandmates call her Gorilla —a nickname born from her brute-force drumming sessions and her tendency to solve problems by headbutting them. Yet, Yuna writes lyrics that bleed raw vulnerability. Songs like "Hey-day Capriccio" aren't about triumph; they’re about the terror of stagnation, the panic of watching your childhood friends drift away, and the desperate need to scream into the void just to feel alive. yuna mitake
When Ran nearly quit music after a fight with her father, it wasn’t a heartfelt speech that saved her. It was Yuna showing up at her dojo with a broken guitar strap and saying, "You think I’m gonna let you disappear? Get your ass to practice." That’s Yuna Mitake’s love language: aggression wrapped in devotion. What makes her truly interesting is her anti-authoritarian streak—not against parents or teachers, but against fate . In a franchise where many characters follow predestined paths (idolhood, legacy bands, family businesses), Yuna is the girl who refused to let adulthood steal her fire.
