Description
Kanata Konoe is a third-year student at Nijigasaki High School and a member of the school idol club where her designated image color is violet. She is part of the subunit QU4RTZ and is known for her constant drowsiness and tendency to fall asleep at any moment, which has earned her the nickname of the group's "sleeping beauty". This characteristic is so central to her identity that she carries a personal pillow with her around the school and often takes naps on the laps of her friends, with a particular preference for Emma Verde's lap.
Kanata transferred to Nijigasaki from Shinonome Academy on a scholarship, a status that demands diligent study habits and contributes to her frequent sleep deprivation. To further support herself, she also works a part-time job at the SOROR grocery store and, in an episode of Nijiyon Animation 2, is shown working alongside Yu Takasaki at Odaiba GAMERS. Despite her perpetually sleepy exterior, she is fully capable of being aware of her surroundings and often refers to herself in the third person as "Kanata-chan".
Her easygoing and calming personality has a soothing effect on those around her, and she is a caring figure who balances her academic and work responsibilities. While her sleepiness is her most notable trait, she is also a diligent student who maintains good academic performance and serves on the school's Health Committee. Kanata possesses a sisterly attitude toward her club members, showing her care in subtle ways such as pointing out the best spots for a nap or sharing her extensive knowledge on relaxation.
Her primary motivation for being a school idol is to earn praise from her younger sister, Haruka Konoe, who still attends Shinonome Academy. Kanata dotes on Haruka intensely and is highly protective of her, often engaging in sisterly activities and wanting to be an admirable example for her. This devotion extends to her fellow idols, whom she also looks after. In the spin-off series, episodes focusing on her relationships include a scene where she naps beside Shizuku Osaka’s dog Ophelia at the beach with Haruka and participates in a "Sister King Decisive Battle," which highlights the dynamics of the group.
Kanata is also renowned within the idol club as its best cook, skilled at making dishes like omurice and nukazuke pickles for her peers. Her hobbies include experimenting with recipes and spending time with Haruka. Her unique dream as a performer is to hold an eight-hour live show where the audience can take a nap along with her, and her songs often feature themes of sleep, fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty, and the sound of ticking clocks. Despite a seemingly lethargic demeanor, she becomes motivated and diligent in matters that are truly important to her, such as her idol activities and responsibilities toward her sister.
