"Even as the years passed by and we got our lives back, the memories of those days bite at me like a disease. I entrusted myself to stick by her side, but she left me without knowing. I don't want her to feel like that, but my frustration can only mount high enough before I want to destroy what we have."

- Hisako

Hisako (久子 Hisako) is a character in Angel Beats! A Step Closer and second-in-command/co-founder of Girls Dead Monster who plays the guitar.

Appearance
She wears the standard uniform with her sleeves rolled up to her elbow with a removable Afterlife Battlefront patch on her left shoulder. When in public or performing, she removes the patch. She also wears the GirlsDeMo accessory in her left thigh. She is seen carrying her guitar, mostly using it in the performances during the diversion practices.

Combat Gear
Depending on the certain operations, Hisako may have to greatly alter her appearance in order to not be recognized by the masses. Often times, she will untie her hair and change her general demeanor. When Hisako participates in an operation that requires direct action, she will go with a minimalist look, wearing a black sweater, black leggings, and black hiking/trail shoes.

Headgear
Hisako doesn't like to wear any form of headgear.

Plate Carrier
It is currently unknown if Hisako prefers a certain type of plate carrier.

Battle Belt
Hisako dons a T-Rex Arms NOVA Belt for minor open-carrying situations. She has a kydex holster to hold her USP and two magazine pouches to her left side.

Weapons
Hisako conceal carries a HK USP. To conceal carry, she carries a light compatible Sidecar 2.0 by T-Rex Arms with a tourniquet carrier to hold a suppressor.

Personality
From Otonashi's account, Hisako is very honest and straightforward to most of the members. He does note how she treats the entire band of Girls Dead Monster like children, often lecturing them, including Iwasawa when she's clueless. Otonashi sees her character as moreso of an older sister who has to keep her younger siblings in check, though he doesn't exactly state it.

Hisako basks in victory no matter what context, usually in the form of Mahjong against TK, Fujimaki, and Matsushita. She usually gets what she wants in the form of cheating and deception, something she's mastered after many years in the afterlife.

Hisako's work ethic in the band is extraordinary to the same level as Iwasawa, as noted by both Sekine and Irie. They both claim that she nearly drives herself to the near point of exhaustion, however Hisako denies those claims. It can be speculated that she relieves stress by smoking, as seen by Otonashi.

While on one hand she enjoys the company of others, she also tends to stray away from her friend group including the band. Her favorite hangout spot is the front of the mall outside of the Afterlife Battlefront's main base. She doesn't greet anyone familiar with her coming in, and often stares into the street unmoving.
