Yui Hirasawa is one of the 5 main characters in K-ON!. She's also the main protagonist. She is the air-headed lead guitarist and vocalist of the band Ho-kago Tea Time.
Having misunderstood that "light music" equals "easy music" (like whistling), she joined the Light Music Club and picked up guitar with absolutely no prior experience. She plays a Gibson Pre-'08 Les Paul Standard '50s in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. She names it Giita, which quite literally means "guitar".
