Movie
Description
Kanan Matsuura is a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School residing on Awashima Island with her grandfather. She assists in running the family diving shop, a demanding responsibility that caused school absences during her father's injury recovery. Her daily duties encompass equipment upkeep, oxygen tank inspections, and customer support, showcasing diving and ship-handling expertise gained through her upbringing. She later resumes consistent school attendance.
Athletically gifted and deeply connected to nature, Kanan possesses remarkable stamina honed by daily jogging and diving, often exceeding her peers' endurance. She maintains a calm, mature presence and finds profound daily joy in observing Uchiura's mountains, sea, and sky. Despite this level-headedness, she harbors fears of eerie creaking noises and heights. She frequently initiates embraces with friends using her signature phrase "Hagu shiyo" (Let's hug), a habit formed in childhood. Academically, her grades lag due to work commitments and a disinterest in reading, though she demonstrates sharp intelligence in practical situations.
A pivotal event occurred two years prior: Kanan co-founded an idol unit with childhood friends Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara. When Mari suffered a pre-performance injury, Kanan concealed the truth and faked stage fright to convince Mari to study abroad, believing it best for her. This choice resulted in estrangement from Mari upon her return and emotional distance from others. The concealment is eventually revealed, leading to reconciliation with Mari and Kanan's return to idol activities. This experience highlights her altruistic yet sometimes misguided tendency to prioritize others' perceived well-being over open communication.
Within Aqours, Kanan serves as the primary choreographer and training leader, utilizing her athletic abilities. She initially finds connecting with younger members challenging due to differing interests but gradually bridges the gap, notably forming a bond with Hanamaru Kunikida. Her foundational relationships with childhood friends Chika Takami and You Watanabe remain strong; she describes Chika as energetic and imaginative, recalling shared childhood exploits like Chika's plan to build a bridge to Awashima. Her dynamic with Dia and Mari evolves from past tensions to renewed collaboration in Aqours.
In the film *Over the Rainbow*, Kanan travels to Italy with Dia to visit Mari. Their subsequent disappearance prompts the remaining Aqours members to search for them.
Kanan's hobbies include astronomical observation and swimming. Her structured daily routine involves waking at 6:00 AM, diving sessions, equipment checks, and evening beach meetings with Chika. She describes diving into Suruga Bay's depths as deeply meaningful, expressing a desire to share its unique marine life and scenery with others.
