Tainaka Ritsu is the drummer in Houkago teatime and one of the main characters in K-ON!.

She's an energetic girl who loves her friends very much, but also has a shy side and finds it hard to rely on others.

Born on the 21st of August 1991, she's 15 at the beginning of the series and roughly 19 by the end of K-ON! College.

She's also my beloved waifu.
