Yes, it goes for any school year.

Let's assume the first season starts at the same time as it was aired: 2009.

If Mio becomes 15 on January 15, 2009, that means her DoB (date of birth) is January 15, 1994. This means the three other girls are from 1993 (they become 16, if you recall).

So technically saying, Mio is actually a year ahead of her year's. So she should be in the same year as Ui and Azusa so she's... Just one month older than Ui. o_o wow.
No,

If we assume that Yui's DoB is November 27, 1993, Ui's DoB has to be February 2, 1995. If she was born in 1994, she'd be merely a month younger than Mio and be in the same class as her. Since she's not, she's at least a full year younger, so a year and a month (or 13 months).

As for Azusa, we know her BD is on November 11, that she's a year behind the others and that she's 15 when she enters HS (in 2010 – assuming she never skipped a grade). This puts her DoB at November 11, 1994, which means that she's only 10 months younger than Mio, and 3 months older than Ui.

It be funny if Ui was born in 1994...only because the only way that would be possible would be if she and Yui were twins, but somehow Yui was born just over two months early. How is that possible? Generally, it should not be possible.

Therefore Ui had to be born in 1995.

Ahh ok. Got it already. Thanks for replying me! Didnt thought about it that far and about the 2 months gap between Yui and Ui. Thanks so much!

Regarding the time period and birthdays in K-On!(in manga, not anime):

Firstly, school year in Japan goes from April of one year to March of the coming year.
e.g. 2007-4 to 2008-3 is one school year.

Remember at the beginning of volume 3 those color pages chapter(wasn't serialized in the magazine) when Yui and the girls go to the shrine for New Years? You'll recall that Ritsu received New Years Greeting cards from the other girls. Azusa's, Yui's and Mio's cards all had cows on it, meaning they were welcoming 2009, the year of the Cow according to Chinese Zodiac. At this time they were 2nd years(They became 3rd years a few chapters later, where the anime Season 2 Episode 1 starts).

For a more concrete evidence, in the final graduation chapter in volume 4, after the girls left, Azusa was along in the club room looking at the photo album, specifically looking at a picture of Yui and the girls graduating. Under the picture it clearly says "March 2010".

What this adds up to is that,
Yui, Mio, Ritsu and Mugi entered the school in 2007 April (Incidentally, the manga started in the 2007 May issue, which was released also in 2007 April) when they were 15.
Azusa, Ui, Jun, entered the school in April 2008.

So the birthdays Japan Wikipedia listed, while not canon, does make sense:
Yui: 1991-11-27
Mio: 1992-1-15
Ritsu: 1991-8-21
Mugi: 1991-7-2
Azusa: 1992-11-11
Ui: 1993-2-22
Nodoka: 1991-12-26
Sawako: 1984-1-31

Interesting. The DoBs are two years earlier than I calculated, meaning the show starts in 2007 and follows the manga timeline.

BTW, for those interested, here are the official DoB's:

Yui: November 22, 1991
Mio: January 15, 1992
Ritsu: August 21, 1991
Mugi: July 2, 1991
Azusa: November 11, 1992
Sawako: January 31, 1984 (meaning she's 23 when the show starts)
Nodoka: December 26, 1991
Ui: February 22, 1993
Jun's DoB is not listed.

Thus, the theory that Mio is younger than any of her bandmates (with the exception of Azusa) is true.

You'd think there would be a mention someplace if Yui and Azusa had the same birthday (just a year apart).

Heh, I guess I didn't see that typo. It's been fixed now.

This might seem like a silly question, but here goes...
Has there actually been any instance where Yui has been angry? I don't think we've ever seen her angry at all.

(Well, I would imagine an angry Yui would sound alot like Fam Fan Fan, who is also voiced by Aki Toyosaki)

How about s2 episode 14?
The one when Nodoka ate Yui's strawberry. She might not look like being angry, though but I believe she was quite angry since she pretty much pushed Nodoka.

hmmm, she looks more "confused" and shocked, rather than angry. heck if Yui were to be angry at Nodoka for eating the strawberry on her cake, she would at least use a higher tone voice, or one with more "authority" like the voice of Fam Fan Fan. but she didn't (at least, that was the scene portrayed at the anime, i haven't read the manga yet, or any part of it. i guess i'm just too lazy).


about the birthdays, it would seem that Mio is only a couple of months older than me, and we could be in the same batch, i mean, they would be on the same year level as i am (if i were in the anime, or if they were real). i don't really have a problem in dating older women XD.

Yui getting angry... I could only think of that strawberry scene... But if you mean determination look she actually have a few. the most distinct 'frown' is when she and ritsu went on with the "Japanese language over English language" pledge. LOL.

I guess this question could be asked on Mugi too. I cant recall any time she's angry ._.

that means we belong to the same year too! but i'll be in azusa's batch and gahhh knowing ritsu's just 1 year older than me now is not good.

Spoiler for :


btw read the manga when you're free. it's really good. it has so many scenes that could become episodes in the anime but didnt.

Volume 2, chapter 5, page 4 (page 44 if you go by the official release). Mio is talking to Mugi on the phone, when her butler interrupts her. Mugi's response to him makes Mio remind herself not to make her angry.

Edit: as for Yui getting truly angry, I don't really recall a scene like that. The strawberry incident came close, but I think she was more in shock than angry at the time.

for some reason I think Mugi purposely did that too have a or experiences a "typical teen moment' pulling the act, for example there was one moment in the anime when she cancelled her plans just to go out on a normal day to hang with Ritsu. idk just a thought lol

I don't really think so. There's other evidence that suggests that Mugi may not always be as kind and mellow as she appears to be.

Volume 2, page 69. When Yui says that she doesn't have money to pay for her guitar's reparation bill, Mugi gives the store clerk a stare that apparently terrifies him, prompting him to scrap the bill.

This tells me that there's a side to Mugi she never shows to her friends (either because she doesn't want to get angry with the, or they simply don't offend her to such extreme extent, if at all).

Sumire is about the only key we have to "true" Mugi. And even now we can't quite get a clear picture of Tsumugi "ojousama" due to "onee-chan" issues.

Almost 20. My birthday is a few weeks earlier than Mio's.
And yes, she did voice Fam Fan Fan, who can be described as a genius sky pirate who lacks experience, makes rash decisions, and has a brutal and honest tongue.

It was indeed stated in the first season's character cards that Mugi has a strict mistress side to her that isn't shown to anyone at school. I think she enjoys her more "normal" lifestyle far too much to ever show this side to her friends unless she really needed to (as you've shown in that example).
All in all, considering her desire to live a more normal life, I guess it can be said her kindness and selflessness (i.e. the side of Mugi we mostly see) are extended from this desire.
