Abilities

Kanami dual-wields knives with handguards as her weapons. Her powers are unknown. She seems to be either unpracticed or rather weak in strength.

Observations

• Kanami bears some slight resemblances to Madoka Kaname. Her name is spelled similar to Madoka's last name, and she has a similar hairstyle, colour scheme, and personality. Kanami's magical girl outfit is also slightly similar to Madoka's.
• Though GAN's official art of Kanami (see her profile picture above) gives her socks with fancy tops, she is never seen having these in the manga panels.

Trivia

• According to tweets from GAN:
  • Kanami's design is a reused design they had once scrapped.
  • Kanami did not originally have a set colour scheme. However, after seeing fanart by 風雪 depicting her with a red-and-white colour scheme, GAN decided to use this as Kanami's official colour scheme.
  • Kanami's hobby is saving money.
  • Her favourite food is baked sweet potato.
