Nijika Ijichi

- About the Chara

Nijika Ijichi (Hepburn: Ijichi Nijika) is one of the main characters in the manga and anime series Bocchi the Rock!. She is a second-year student of Shimokitazawa High School and is the drummer of Kessoku Band. She also has older sister Seika Ijichi, who is the manager of the live house "STARRY" and has a special feeling for the live house.

Nijika has long blonde hair with a floating, triangular ahoge worn in a side ponytail and vermilion eyes. In her uniform, she wears a white long-sleeve uniform with a tucked skirt and red ribbon with big polka dots, a dark blue pleated skirt, white socks, and red sneakers with white laces.

Nijika is a kind, sweet and friendly girl. She is outgoing, yet also very accommodating and makes others feel at ease. She was exposed to band culture at an early age due to the influence of her older sister, Seika, who was once in a band and is now the manager of a live house, and is familiar with the music industry. Nijika is selfless by nature and does her best to support others. Indeed, not only does she work at "STARRY" out of gratitude towards her older sister, but she also holds the group together and alongside Kita, helps Hitori overcome her social anxiety. She also makes an effort to keep her best friend, Ryo Yamada in check whenever she's up to no good. Indeed, despite her kindness, Nijika can be a bit of a tsundere towards her sister due to her stern attitude, and also towards Ryo and Kikuri, who often annoy her with their antics.

She is good at designing, and produces the logo for Kessoku Band as well as their CD covers. She also edits the video footage of concerts to post online. Nijika was a fan of "guitarhero", and eventually realizes that she was actually Hitori, but this makes her become more confident of achieving her dream. Until it was revealed to everyone by Poison?Yami, she kept it a secret from other members.

Chara x Aircraft Connection

Who is Nijika Ijichi?:

• Nijika is the drummer and co-founder of the band "Kessoku Band" in Bocchi the Rock! anime.

• She's known for her energetic, optimistic, and supportive personality. She's the driving force that keeps the band together and encourages Hitori "Bocchi" Gotoh (the anxious guitarist) to overcome her social anxieties.

• Visually, she has distinct blonde hair with a prominent forelock that some fans see as resembling a specific shape.

What is the Dassault Mirage IIIC?:

• A French, single-engine, delta-wing fighter jet from the 1960s.

• Known for its speed, maneuverability, and elegant design.

• An iconic fighter jet of the Cold War era, serving in numerous air forces around the world.

Possible Reasons for the Association - Why Nijika Ijichi?

These are speculative and based on taking liberties with character traits and appearances:

• Ahoge Shape and top-view Jet Silhouette: This is the most common and visually-based reason. Nijika's prominent ahoge (nicknamed "Dorito" for humorous reason, especially for mentioning anything shaped triangular e.g. Wankel Rotary engine), especially when drawn in a specific way, bears a passing resemblance to the delta wing shape of the Mirage IIIC. If you squint and use your imagination, the pointed tip of her ahoge could be seen as the nose of the aircraft.

• "Leading" Personality: Nijika is the "glue" of Kessoku Band, and often the one pushing them forward. The Mirage IIIC, as a pioneering and advanced fighter jet of its time, could be seen as matching the leading and pioneering role Nijika has in the band.

• Energetic and Fast-Paced: The Mirage IIIC is a fast and agile fighter jet. Nijika's energetic and fast-paced personality, always pushing the band forward, could be loosely linked to the jet's characteristics.

• Underappreciated but Reliable: The Mirage IIIC was a workhorse for many air forces and often overshadowed by other fighters. Nijika, while crucial to the band's success, sometimes is overlooked in favor of the more eccentric and prominent characters like Bocchi. Both are reliable and contribute significantly without necessarily being in the spotlight all the time.

• Supportive Role: While a fighter jet is primarily an offensive weapon, the Mirage IIIC provided essential air defense and support for ground troops. Similarly, Nijika serves as a vital supportive figure for Bocchi and the rest of the band, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

• "French Bread": This is a bit of a far-fetched and humorous connection, but France is known for its bread. Nijika's ahoge could, in a highly imaginative way, be compared to the shape of a baguette. This is more of a joke association than a serious reason.
