Hanazono Tae is a second-year student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School and the lead guitarist of Poppin'Party. The other members call her O-Tae. 

A relaxed individual who lives at her own pace, Tae sometimes surprises the people around her with her keen observations and understanding of music.  She carries a sense of knowing in her discussions with others, while always keeping an optimistic outlook on a situation.

She loves rabbits and is constantly thinking about them, sometimes to the point of daydreaming and losing focus during a conversation. She has compared both Rimi and Arisa to them (Rimi because of her overall nature, and Arisa because her twin tails remind Tae of a rabbit's ears). She affectionately refers to one of her rabbits, Odd-Eye (Occhan in Japanese and Oddie in the localized version), as her boyfriend.
