Anime Non Non Biyori Episode 1

Hotaru Ichijō (一条 蛍 Ichijō Hotaru?) is one of the main characters of Non Non Biyori. She is a fifth grade student who transfers into Asahigaoka Branch School from Tokyo due to her father's work transfer.

Appearance[]

Hotaru is the tallest girl in the school (161 cm). She has neat collarbone-length black hair that has bangs hanging above her forehead and swept to the right, brown eyes and it is easy to tell that she appears to look older and more mature for her age.

Personality[]

Hotaru is full of curiosity and interested in the village's life. She also has a crush/obsession on Komari Koshigaya due to Komari's petite appearance. Hotaru has a mature and "older sister" type of personality who is quite responsible and many of the characters often count on her, though she freaks out easily. However, when at home, she becomes really childish, especially around her mother, as shown in "I Became a Pampered Child", but people think she's just being modest when she says that.
