Yano Hiiro



Yano Hiiro (矢野緋彩) is a character in the D4DJ franchise, and is a member of the group RONDO.

Appearance
Hiiro's hair and eyelashes are of a light lilac color, and she has slanted gray eyes. She originally had wavy sidelocks in promotional material, but after the 3.0.0 update in Groovy Mix, her sidelocks are slightly trimmed.

Description
Hiiro is a sleek university student with a mature attitude. As a VJ, her knowledge in art allows her to build the unique worldview of the unit. Since she majors in psychology, she acts as the counselor of the unit and listens to the members' consultations, but scolds anyone who becomes too selfish (e.g. she scolds Muni for not eating healthy foods).

Aoyagi Tsubaki
As a more mature friend and bandmate, Hiiro often acts as an older sister to Tsubaki, amiably teasing her about her perceived feelings for Aoi while helping her overcome her shyness. For example, she agreed to help her learn how to make homemade cookies after Tsubaki found out that Aoi loved it.

Miyake Aoi
Prior to the formation of RONDO, Aoi and Hiiro were in a DJ unit together which exclusively performed at the club Alter-Ego. As far as can be judged from RONDO's events, Hiiro is the second closest person to her after Tsubaki.

Tsukimiyama Nagisa
Since Hiiro and Nagisa are the most mature and childish members of the unit, respectively, the maturity and caring of the former ideally complements the childishness and carelessness of the latter, making their relationship more like an older and younger sister. Hiiro constantly cooks for Nagisa, taking care of her welfare. This is so important to Hiiro that when Nagisa made her own chocolate for her on Valentine's Day as a token of gratitude, Hiiro was so excited that she didn't even dare eat it. According to her, the fact that Nagisa was able to cook something for her in gratitude for all of her cooking made her incredibly happy.

Despite this she is not above to scolding Nagisa at times. For example, in a three-way live interaction between the two and Tsubaki, Nagisa comments that the footage Hiiro was using reminded her of beni shouga, which causes Hiiro to smile and thank her in a slightly agitated tone, before saying that they need to talk after the performance.

Ohnaruto Muni
Hiiro seems to enjoy doting on Muni due to her cute appearance, but also holds her accountable for her stubborn behavior. An example of this is when she scolds her for not eating healthy foods, or allows her to open up her feelings that she keeps to herself. Muni is also impressed by Hiiro's costume-making skills, as shown in The Reason for Quintuplets.

Etymology
Yano (矢野) can be split into two parts. Ya (矢), meaning arrow, and No (野) meaning field.
