Background
A third-year student living alone with her grandfather on the offshore island Awashima, who runs a diving shop there. She is childhood friends with Chika Takami, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.

Kanan loves nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun and blue skies.

Despite this, it is shown that Kanan is afraid of lightning and thunder, as showing in Season 2 Episode 2 and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8.

Clubs and Hobbies
She is talented in diving and ship handling, likely from being brought up in a diving-gear shop. She also loves astronomical observation and swimming.
