**Background:** While singing has always been her most cherished pastime, Kanon is more likely to be seen helping her mother manage the family cafe, serving customers their special baked apples with cream. Kanon's father works as a translator and her grandmother is from Spain, whose homemade paellas are one of Kanon's favorite dishes. As her home, Kanon has had many fond memories of the cafe, with much of her time there spent alongside her childhood friend, Chisato Arashi. Together they would often interact with Kanon's pet owl, Manmaru ("Roundy"), who now serves as the cafe's ever-popular mascot. In the second season, she becomes the vice president of Yuigaoka's student council. <hr> **Personality**: Kanon is seen as being somewhat shy and flustered, admitting that she is not good at communicating in front of others. However, while walking in town Kanon would often listen to music on her headphones, and would usually find herself singing the words to a song. Although she yearns to sing in front of people, Kanon is particularly nervous about doing so. Despite seeing herself as being very ordinary - having no particular talents or aspirations for her life - Kanon wishes to cheer people up through her favorite songs. Deciding to become a school idol was a way for her to do so, and to break away from merely seeing herself as simply "normal." But even though she thinks girly outfits are cute to look at, Kanon is a little shy and apprehensive about wearing anything too frilly or slightly revealing. Kanon, despite being more shy than previous protagonists Honoka Kosaka and Chika Takami, has nonetheless a natural charisma and people orientation. She is very kind-hearted, friendly, cheerful, passionate and supportive. She's a selfless and loyal friend, with sense of justice, and used to front bullies who threatened Chisato when they were children. She's shown to like animals, as seen when she plays with a stray cat on the street. She's very charismatic, with a magnetic personality and a natural affinity for people. Not only she loves to help others, she's also willing to befriend them, even when they don't treat her well at all, as seen in her interactions with Wien. It's also shown she can be idealistic to the point of being naive, finding good where more cynical characters wouldn't (for example, unlike Sumire, she didn't believe that Natsumi was actually the gold-digger she turned out to be). Despite her natural kindness, Kanon has a more boyish and blunt side, displayed when she's at home and in her more nervous moments. Though this happens mostly at the beginning, due to her personal frustration and considering herself a failure before she met Keke. <hr> **Appearance:** Kanon has a slim figure with orange hair that reaches her shoulders and has purple eyes. <hr> **Group Role:** Kanon serves as the leader co-composer, and co-lyricist for Liella! as a first-year, with the latter duties becoming shared with other members as time went on.
