Konomi Shinkaki is a classmate of Mirai Momoyama, frequently seen alongside her friends Hokuto Imozaki and Tamaki Kurihara. She has short persimmon-colored hair and sharp, dark green eyes, and often wears a pale beige beret decorated with a pastel green bow on its side. Her surname, Shinkaki, combines "shin" (新), meaning "new," and "kaki" (柿), meaning "persimmon," a direct nod to her hair color. Her given name, Konomi, is written in hiragana as このみ and carries no inherent meaning, though it can be interpreted as "choice" or "fruit."
