Kasuari

KasuAri is the femslash ship between Kasumi Toyama and Arisa Ichigaya from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Kasumi and Arisa are close friends that often banter. Kasumi teasing Arisa over a little things, and Arisa getting embarrassed from the friendly jabs. Throughout the series, you can see Kasumi consistently hugging and holding hands with Arisa. Even though Kasumi is very touchy with other characters, she is more physical with Arisa then any of the other characters. You can see Kasumi holding onto Arisa many times not only throught the show, but also in many of either Kasumi's or Arisa's card art.

There friendship stems from an unusual meeting at Arisa's house, where she finds Kasumi messing around in her grandmothers basement. Arisa horrified and angered by finding Kasumi snooping around, interrogates her. After Arisa learns Kasumi goes to the same school as her, tries to kick her out, but fails. Kasumi is persistent on taking a closer look at a guitar case she had seen earlier. After looking, Arisa suggests to Kasumi she goes to a live house if she is interested in music. They decide to go together to this live house and see a live performance.

After this performance, Kasumi is convinced that her and Arisa should make a band together. The next day after the concert, Kasumi once again breaks into Arisa's home asking if she would want to make a band together and use her guitar. However, Arisa declines and mentions she is going to sell the guitar online. Eventually, Kasumi does convince Arisa to join her band.
