About Kana Ichikawa
Kana Ichikawa is Kyotaro's older sister, and the person who has known him longest and teases him best. She sees straight through his dangerous loner act, reads his crush on Yamada with embarrassing accuracy, and supports him in the sideways way only an older sister can.
Appearance
Kana is an older teen with a relaxed, casual style, usually seen around the Ichikawa home rather than at school. She has the comfortable confidence of someone who has long stopped performing for anyone, which makes her a funny contrast to her little brother and all his careful acts.
Personality
Kana is playful, sharp and affectionate under the teasing. She finds Kyotaro's villain persona hilarious, because she knows the sweet kid underneath it, and her jokes are often small acts of encouragement in disguise. When it actually matters, Kana is on his side, and the Season 3 teaser shows her still in his corner, alongside a new character from her band, Akira Momoyama.
Background & Story
Kana grew up as the big sister in the Ichikawa household, watching her little brother retreat into books and gloomy daydreams. As Kyotaro starts changing, coming out of his shell because of a girl, Kana is one of the first at home to notice, and she treats the whole thing as entertainment and good news at the same time. She also plays in a band, and her bandmate Akira Momoyama appears in the Season 3 teaser.
Powers & Abilities
- Big sister instincts: Kana has no powers. Her ability is familiarity. She can read Kyotaro's mood from a doorway, and she knows exactly which teasing comment will get him to admit what he is actually feeling.
- Music: Kana plays in a band. Her bandmate Akira Momoyama appears in the Season 3 teaser visual and trailer coverage, tying her music life into the new season's story.
Key Relationships
- Kyotaro Ichikawa: Her little brother. Kana teases him constantly, sees through him completely, and supports his first love in her own mocking way.
- Anna Yamada: The girl her brother is in love with. Kana treats Yamada's arrival in Kyotaro's life as the best thing to happen to him, and to family entertainment, in years.
