- I want to give all of my life to you. I will give it to you.
- —Uika to Sakiko in Episode 10 "Odi et amo."
Uisaki is the femslash/family ship between Uika Misumi and Sakiko Togawa from the BanG Dream! fandom.
Canon[]
Uika and Sakiko are childhood friends who are both first-year high school students, although they attend different schools, with Uika attending Hanasakigawa Girls' School, and Sakiko attending Haneoka Girls' School. They are also part of the same band, Ave Mujica - where Uika is their vocalist, lead guitarist and lyricist under the stage name Doloris, while Sakiko is their leader, producer, composer and keyboardist under the stage name Oblivionis. Uika also calls Sakiko with the nickname "Saki-chan."

In one of the earlier episodes, after sumimi's recording session, Uika looks at the messages Sakiko had sent her where she congratulated Uika for debuting as a professional singer. Uika smiles fondly at it, her smile different from the one she showed to the production crew and her groupmate Mana.
At the end of the 7th episode, after Sakiko desperately ran away from MyGO!!!!!'s debut performance with tears in her eyes, she bumps to someone and falls on the ground, with her eyes puffy. She looks up at the big screen and notices sumimi's song, "Here, the world!" playing with Uika and Mana's image flashing on it. The scene then cuts to Uika thanking the production crew and sighing as she closes the door to the dressing room. Her eyes lit up and she starts blushing upon seeing that Sakiko is calling her. Sakiko, in a desperate and broken voice, begs Uika to make her forget everything.
In the 8th episode, Uika and Sakiko meet up while the sun is setting. Sakiko greets Uika with a gentle smile outside the planetarium, and Uika says Saki's name out loud with a genuine smile. As the two walk, Sakiko apologizes for calling Uika to meet up despite her (Sakiko) having to leave soon. They stop at a bridge and Uika insists it's fine because she's glad to see and meet Sakiko even for a short while. Uika mentions it's been a whole year since they last saw each other, thanks Sakiko for calling and that it made her very happy. While Sakiko humbly claims it's nothing to be thanked for, Uika starts mentioning the messages Sakiko had sent her, and Sakiko is surprised to find out Uika had memorized them as she starts saying them out loud. Uika smiles replying that she's always reading them, especially because they keep giving her courage.

Sakiko then asks how Uika's work is going, Uika says it's doing alright, and then she in turn asks if Sakiko is still in a band. Sakiko's eyes widen and Uika mentions CRYCHIC's first concert was amazing, but as she's about to mention the band's name, Sakiko cuts her sentence short, telling Uika to not talk about the band. Uika apologizes, Sakiko accepts her apology and then asks why Uika wanted to go to the rooftop they're currently hanging out at. When Uika mentions it's because the sky is so close there, and with Sakiko's words, they start reminiscing their childhood memories of their summers together. They then crack into giggles as they bicker about the time they went bug hunting. Their time together is cut short when Sakiko's phone starts buzzing and she mentions having to go. Uika's expression turns sad, and Sakiko, with her determination made up, tells Uika that there is something important she wanted to discuss with her.
During the play in Ave Mujica's first concert, when Amoris caresses Doloris' cheek and asks if she should embrace her, Oblivionis firmly tells her to cut it off. After the performance, Uika happily congratulates Sakiko for the good work, and everyone is surprised to find Sakiko already having changed her clothes and ready to leave. Sakiko says she'll be heading home on train and then reprimands Uika for wanting to do the same, reminding her of her status as a celebrity.

Fanon[]
Uisaki is a very popular ship within the BanG Dream! fandom, especially in the Eastern fandom, due to their status as childhood friends and their surprisingly complex relationship. Just from the airing of the first two episodes of the Ave Mujica anime, many viewers including those who don't even particularly ship them, were quick to pick up on Uika's devotion and unhealthy obsession towards Sakiko.
After the airing of Episode 11, where it was revealed that Uika - real name Hatsune - was born as an illegitimate child between Sakiko's grandfather and a housekeeper at the Togawa family's villa, the ship has been subject to heavy controversy and arguments over its status. The reveal has led to people even claiming that the ship wasn't toxic before the reveal, and downplaying Uika's feelings for Sakiko, saying they were never meant to be romantic, despite canon material blatantly confirming both things.
Some people in the fandom also mocked those who started almost immediately expressing their hate towards the show or saying how the show was completely ruined over the reveal. A part of this was also because these fans made it seem like they only cared for the show because of the Uisaki ship, and took it as far as to harassing and spamming the official accounts on Twitter, including CEO of Bushiroad Kidani Takaaki, for "ruining Uika." In addition to this, a portion of the fandom expressed their desire to see the real Uika come into the picture so they could ship her with Sakiko and completely throw Hatsune aside, which wasn't met with a positive reception.
There were also plenty of people who were fine with the twist and reveal, and continued shipping them and enjoying their tragic relationship and circumstances. Some argued that while Uika and Sakiko do have relations, not only are they are the same age, but they do not have a "traditional" aunt-niece relationship, nor were raised to have one to begin with. Some also pointed out that the darker and "uglier" plot elements, which the show had already explored, were expected of the psychological horror genre, and especially of gothic horror.
It is currently Uika's most written and Sakiko's 3rd most written ship on AO3, having 90+ works written about it, making it the most written ship under the BanG Dream! Ave Mujica tag. It is mainly rivaled by Sakimutsu, Tomosaki and Soyosaki.

- In the illustrations for Georgette Me, Georgette You, Uika is showing looking at the castle which gates Sakiko stands at from a faraway point. What Uika also grabs at the end with her hands (as she sings the lyrics "Tighten me again; To never separate us") resembles Sakiko's dress ribbon.
- Sasaki Rico and Takao Kanon, Uika and Sakiko's voice actresses respectively, are close friends in real life.
- The scene of Uika crawling on the ground like a dog while repeatedly yelling Sakiko's name during her soliloquy became a big meme in the fandom, and it has been used in many edits.
