Kanon Shibuya

Kanon Shibuya is one of the five main characters in Love Live! Superstar!!. She is a first year at Yuigaoka Girls' High School and the leader and co-founder of Liella!. Her image color is marigold.

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.

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 somewhat shy and apprehensive about wearing anything too frilly or slightly revealing.

Her favorite saying is, "It's always sunny above the clouds."

Appearance
Kanon is a young girl with slim build. She has fair skin and she has purple eyes. She has orange hair that reach shoulder

Clubs and Hobbies
Kanon joined the school idol club with Keke Tang and her dream is to own a cat.
