!!Hellshake Yano
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/145900.jpg]]
A popular rocker Pipimi daydreamed about once.

* AdaptationExpansion: In his corresponding POP TEAM STORY, he gains an entire backstory; the reason he's even called "Hellshake" Yano and the circumstances launching him into the public eye have much more elaboration here.
* BishieSparkle: A lot of official images give him this.
* {{Defictionalization}}[[invoked]]: Hellshake Yano played Animelo Summer Live 2018. By which we mean Shunsuke Itakura and Toru Adachi of AC-bu performed the "Emotional Documentary: Hellshake Yano" sketch to [[https://twitter.com/acbu_official/status/1110513497681453057 a live concert audience]].
* EpicRocking: To stall until his band got to the concert hall, Yano ''shreds'' for a solo, captivating the audience even as his guitar strings break one by one.
* InSeriesNickname: Of course, nobody would expect to name their child "Hellshake". This nickname comes from his manager calling his solo one that "shakes the foundations of Hell itself".
