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 a member of Liella! Her image color is orange.

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."

Trivia

 * Her family's cafe was initially modeled after Cafe Casa, an actual cafe located in Shibuya. However, due to miscommunication between Love Live's and the cafe's staff which resulted in complications such as some Japanese fans review-bombing the place and elaborate cosplayers entering the premises, the setting is being reconsidered.
 * The headphones she wore in the Anime is the WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-The-Ear Headphones by Sony. The color variation she uses is the limited edition "Silent White" color.
 * Unlike the character design and the illustrated visuals seen until the 9th volume of the Love Live! Days magazines, later depictions of Kanon is shown wearing mid-calf socks instead of tights.
