Description
Maria Kanamori is a second-year student at Kirarigaoka Middle School who emerges as a main character in the second season. She embraces the lovely-type idol concept, specializing in the Cutie Happiness brand and frequently using the word "kawaii" in her speech. Her core motivation centers on spreading global peace through the power of "cute."
Her appearance features fair skin and gently slanted aquamarine eyes. She showcases long, thick pale brown hair worn loose, accented by twin buns on each side. Each bun includes a distinct chin-length curl. Her hairstyle incorporates side-swept bangs with slightly longer corner locks framing her face.
Maria's personality centers on discovering and cherishing cuteness in everything, viewing it as a path to harmony. This passion manifests as her special skill: an exceptional ability to spot cute objects or moments. Her hobby involves sharing content via the Pri☆Chan platform alongside Suzu Kurokawa. Her dream is to become filled with cuteness gathered worldwide. She finds nearly all clothing coordinations cute, making it difficult to choose favorites. Her preferred food is ice cream, aligning with her birthday on May 9 (Ice Cream Day in Japan). Her blood type is O.
Key relationships shape her journey. Suzu Kurokawa is her partner in the Dear Crown-affiliated idol unit Ring Marry. Though initially hesitant, Suzu develops genuine care for their partnership. Naru Shiawase acts as a mentor guiding both Maria and Suzu. Rabbily, a mascot discovered with Suzu after their return from Broadway, becomes their shared companion after efforts to find Rabbily's original master prove unsuccessful. Yui Gekikawa is a close relative.
Her name carries thematic meaning: "Kanamori" combines "kana" (gold) and "mori" (forest), reflecting her gold-themed palette, while "Maria" originates from the Latin for Mary, meaning "seas."
Her idol career features distinct coord outfits evolving across seasons. Season two introduces the Heart♡Pearl Coord for promotional visuals and sees her obtain the Happiness Gold Jewel Coord as her first Jewel coord. Season three debuts the Happiest Wedding Coord for its visuals. Additional outfits include the Pri☆Chan Land Cast Gold Coord for casual wear and the Ocean Mermaid Illuminage Maria Coord as her inaugural Illuminage coord.
Trivia notes: Her favorite songs are "Planet Happiness Cute Hymn" and "Individual・Jewel." She shares her birthday with Mirai Asuka from Aikatsu Friends! and shares her given name with characters including Maria Himuro (Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live), Maria Himesato (Aikatsu!), and Maria Cadenzavna Eve (Symphogear). She echoes visual traits and narrative elements with PriPara's Hana, including brown hair, twin hair buns, and friendship with characters named Suzu.
