Kobone is the owner-manager of the café and pub of the same name located in the bustling market town of Arabi. She has blonde, shoulder-length hair and dark eyes. Her establishment serves as a familiar and welcoming gathering place for the local community, including the series' main characters Hakumei and Mikochi, who become her regular customers. Kobone is a kind and generous woman with a nurturing, almost aunt-like demeanor. She looks after the two protagonists whenever they visit, often treating them to food and liquor she has made herself. Her primary motivation is running a hospitable establishment and providing a comfortable space for her community.

Kobone’s role in the story is that of a friendly and dependable supporting figure. Her café is a recurring location where the protagonists relax, socialize, and meet other residents of Arabi. Notably, an episode centered on her old coffee grinder expands on her backstory. When Hakumei attempts to repair the grinder, Kobone recounts both its history and her own, revealing that the object is a tsukumogami that had been with her for many years. This story provides insight into her personal history and her respectful, nostalgic attitude toward the history of her wares. When the grinder decides it is time to retire, Kobone accepts the change with grace and emotional maturity, illustrating her connection to the past and her ability to let go. Her notable abilities include culinary skill, the management of her café, and intimate knowledge of the town and its people. Her key relationship is her bond with her regular customers, particularly Mikochi, who is well-known in the market, and Hakumei, whom she treats as valued friends.
