Igawa Emi

Emi Igawa (井川 絵見 Igawa Emi) is a pianist who competes against Kousei Arima and Takeshi Aiza who is mentored by a pianist named Yuriko Ochiai. She was originally inspired by Kousei's passion and pure innocence during his first performance, she was so enthralled after his performance that she started crying which made Kousei think that she did not like it making him walk away from the stage ashamed. She decided to learn piano under Yuriko Ochiai for the sake of expression. Over the course of the story, Emi seeks to oppose the "boring" playing style of the old Kousei in hopes to find the "true" Kousei once again.
