Hitori Gotou

- About the Chara

Hitori Gotoh (Goto Hitori, Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou) is a character from the anime Bocchi The Rock!. Hitori an extremely timid and introverted first-year student in high school often referred by her bandmates as Bocchi-chan is the titular main protagonist of the manga and anime series, Bocchi the Rock!. She is in the first year of Shuka High School and is in charge of the guitar and lyrics of the band, Kessoku Band. She aspires to perform in a band that could showcase even a reserved girl's talent, hence she began playing the guitar. Although her skill is the real deal, she struggles to exhibit it proficiently in a band or in front of an audience.

Hitori's appearance is characterized by her long pink hair, which is tied with a blue and yellow cube hair accessory on the right side of her head, her aqua-colored eyes, and her fair complexion.

In her uniform, she usually wears a pink tracksuit with a long gray pleated skirt, black socks, and brown shoes as part of her style. Ironically, she surprisingly has a large bust (shown in the manga); this is most likely because she dresses in baggy clothing.

Hitori is an extremely introverted girl with high social anxiety, making it very difficult for her to talk to strangers. She often tries to avoid interactions, even performing her first live house show from inside a cardboard mango box. Because of her introversion, she rarely goes outside and instead spends most of her time at home, playing the guitar alone in a dark closet.

She seeks praise from others, likely as a reaction to her personality. She started playing the guitar to become a music star for the sole reason of being admired. She sometimes attempts to socialize, often in unusual ways, such as mimicking how others talk. However, these attempts often fail.

- Chara x Aircraft Connection

Why i choose Macchi C.205 Veltro as Hitori Gotou? This isn't just being character's nickname and aircraft manufacturer's name connection:

1. Agile but Underestimated: Much like how the C.205 Veltro was overlooked in favor of better-known aircraft like the Spitfire or the Bf 109, Hitori is often underestimated due to her introversion. However, both reveal exceptional performance in the right circumstances.

2. Sleek Design with Hidden Power: The Veltro's sleek lines and powerful engine are analogous to Hitori's shy demeanor hiding her electrifying guitar skills.

3. Improvement Over Time: The Veltro was an iterative improvement over previous Macchi models (C.202 Folgore), much like how Hitori improves herself through her experiences with her band.
