Ueno

Ueno (上野 Ueno) is the protagonist of Ueno-San wa Bukiyou. She is the current president of the Science Club.

Appearance
Ueno has red hair tied in twintails. These will vary in length and react with her emotions, typically embarrassment. In her first appearance, they are notably shorter.

Her eyes are red with large white pupils. These will sometimes change to have multiple rings, or spirals depending on how she is feeling. Her pupils will change to hearts when she is feeling "romantic."

Ueno has a fang on the left side of her mouth.

Her outfit is a typical school uniform. She used to wear tights until Tanaka said they smelled. Now she will sometimes wear nylon stockings hooked to a Garter.

Personality
Ueno is a brilliant inventor, bringing in a new device every club meeting. However, she is smitten with Tanaka and many things she invents become schemes to put Tanaka in a perverse situation with her. She often does this with the idea that he will notice her. However, these usually backfire, and she'll become frustrated or embarrassed.

She also will provide inventions to the other club presidents when they ask her.

History
Sometime before the story, she became friends with Unogawa. It is implied in Chapter 60 that she also did gymnastics outside of school.

Also during this chapter, it is shown that Ueno was forced to join the Science club after wandering into the club room during the cultural festival.

In chapter 50, Ueno uses a massage robot on Yamashita to try to get her to join the club. This backfires and Yamashita is clueless about the club.

At some point she falls in love with Tanaka and has tried to express it multiple ways before the manga starts.

Puns
Many characters have names that, when grouped together, form a pun. Ueno is part of the following group(s):
 * The names of the science club members, Ueno (上野), Tanaka (田中), and Yamashita (山下) each contain a character of the phrase 上中下, which refer to top (上), middle (中), and lower (下), referring to the age of each member.


 * The "cultural" clubs (basically clubs that aren't for sports) headed by female presidents are the Symphonic Band, the Science Club, the Calligraphy Club, and the Arts Club. The presidents of these clubs, respectively, are Nishikibe (錦辺), Ueno (上野), Soegi (添木), and Hanamori (花森). Together, the first characters of their names form the Chinese idiom 錦上添花, which is similar to the English idiom "The icing on top," meaning to make something good even better. Or in this case, to make something beautiful even more beautiful.
