She has black hair tied up in double ponytails and red eyes. Her main color is pink. Nico is 154 centimeters tall, and her blood type is A. She is part of BiBi, a mini idol unit. Nico is voiced by Sora Tokui.

Background
In Episode 5, it is discovered that during her first year in high school she started an idol group. However, one by one the members gave up because Nico's goal to become an idol was too much for them and they couldn't keep up.

In Season 2 Episode 4 it is revealed she has two younger sisters Kokoro and Kokoa, and a younger brother Kotarou.

Personality
Normally, Nico has quite an aggressive personality, but when she takes on her alternate personality she becomes a happy, upbeat character who is always smiling. Her catchphrase is "Nico Nico Nii!" accompanied with a pose. She often thinks a bit highly of herself but despite that, she is also caring.

A common joke in the series is that she's often ignored by the other members of μ's at her attempts at being the better idol. An example of her trying to make the others believe she is the better idol is in Episode 10 when Nico claims that she has a personal chef like Maki, and Kotori falls for the lie unknowingly. However, Nico accidentally forgot about her lie, and ends up cooking for everyone, where the truth is revealed.

Nico often gets annoyed with the former student council president, Ayase Eli, for taking away the spotlight from her with her beauty and maturity.

Clubs and Hobbies
Yazawa Nico was the Idol Research Club's president, before she passes on the role to Hanayo, and is interested in fashion, therefore she designs the group's outfits with Kotori.

In Episode 10, Nico is shown to be a very skilled cook despite saying she has never cooked before.
