Mio Akiyama is a main protagonist featured in Kakifly's manga K-ON! and its anime adaptation by Kyoto Animation. Like her fellow members of her band Houkago Tea Time, Mio is named after P-Model member Katsuhiko Akiyama, and is based on The Beatles' bassist and singer-songwriter Paul McCartney.

Out of all the Keion representatives, Mio is the most successful in terms of championships won, and hence, is essentially their frontwoman. Her championship form started to take place in 2010, when K-ON's season 2 was aired. In that year, she achieved a double championship of Korea Best Moe Tournament and ISML 2010, making her one of the very few girls ever to achieve this feat.

Despite Mio having a generally positive reception in r/anime, in Best Girl Contests she's easily in the middle tiers like most K-On girls. Note that no Houkago member has made it into Best Girl's Round of 16, and only her fellow bandmate has reached Best Character's Round of 16 so far.

After being banned for 8 years, Mio makes her return in ISML 2019, where she demonstrated that the presence of K-ON is still going strong, even after nearly a decade has passed since the last anime adaptation was released. In that year, she easily reached the playoffs, losing to Emilia in the Round of 16.

Mio bass — Look familiar? Mio is essentially Paul McCartney as an anime high school girl
