Hana Hashimoto, sixth violin

But Hana practices and practices, inspired by her grandfather, or Ojiichan, who played the violin every day when she visited him in Japan. As Hana takes the stage, doubt is all she can hear, until she recalls her grandfather's words of encouragement, and shows the audience how beautiful music can take many forms. Hana signs up to play violin at the talent show even though she is only a beginner. Her brothers mock her lack of skill, but Hana practices hard, inspired by her virtuoso ojiichan.
