ichijou hotaru

The protagonist of Non Non Biyori.

She has brown eyes, and long black hair with swept bangs. Although she's a fifth grader, which suggests she's 10-11 years old, she generally appears (especially her large breasts and height at 164 cm) and acts quite a bit older. Some characters comment on this in the show, but it's never given a clear answer.

She's very attracted to Koshigaya Komari. She owns a large and growing collection of self-made stuffed dolls of Komari due to her attraction to her.

She is voiced in the anime by Murakawa Rie.
