Description
Kanon Tōdō is a Prism Star and a main character from the anime Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream. She is a fourteen-year-old girl from Kyoto, Japan, who forms the duet Serenon with her best friend and partner, Serena Jōnouchi. The pair are known not only for their Prism Shows but also for their manzai comedy routines, where Kanon expertly plays the tsukkomi, or straight man, to Serena’s boke, or funny man, often using the Kansai dialect.
In terms of her background, Kanon is the younger sister of Hibiki Tōdō, a member of the popular male idol group Callings. Her family includes her father Yoshimitsu, mother Shino, and brother Hibiki. She has a fair complexion and warm, golden-brown eyes. Her signature look in Aurora Dream consists of shoulder-length, curly brown hair with curled segments framing her face. Her fashion style is feminine, and she typically wears green clothing in casual settings, opting for graceful and coordinated outfits when performing.
Kanon’s personality presents an interesting duality. She is generally graceful, sweet, and tender, contrasting with Serena’s more blunt and fiery temperament. She is known for being kind and thoughtful with strangers, but she also possesses a sharp wit and can deliver insults back to Serena just as fiercely, viewing it as a way for both of them to improve. When angered, she can be even more intimidating than her partner. Her primary motivation and a key source of conflict is her extremely possessive and protective love for her older brother, Hibiki. She dislikes seeing him close to other girls and develops a strong rivalry with Rizumu Amamiya because of Rizumu’s growing closeness to Hibiki, leading her to actively interfere in their interactions.
Kanon’s role in the story is initially that of a rival to the main characters, particularly Rizumu. Serenon presents itself as a self-proclaimed rival to the main group, MARs. Despite her competitive nature, Kanon shows concern for others, such as when she worries about Rizumu’s mental state while she struggles with the difficult Aurora Rising technique. She also participates in important story events, such as the final performance of Aurora Rising alongside MARs and other key characters. Her key relationships are central to her character arc. Her partnership with Serena is one of deep loyalty and mutual support, with their contrasting personalities forming a balanced and effective team.
Throughout the series, Kanon undergoes notable development. Her intense, brother-obsessed rivalry with Rizumu gradually softens over time. By the events of the second season, Dear My Future, she has matured significantly. After Hibiki and Rizumu marry, Kanon not only accepts the relationship but also addresses Rizumu respectfully as Onee-sama, or older sister. She becomes more tolerant and straightforward in expressing her feelings, often acting as the more grounded member of her comedy duo. In her professional life after her original agency dissolves, she and Serena join the agency Pretty Top to continue their careers as Prism Stars and manzai performers.
Regarding her notable abilities, Kanon is a highly graceful performer whose specialty is feminine-style fashion coordinates for Prism Shows. In these shows, performers execute special jumps known as Prism Jumps. While she has her own individual techniques, many of her notable abilities are collaborative ones performed with Serena, including the Hattrick Serve, Prism Rainbow Hurricane, and the Smile-Smile Heart Dive Duet. Her solo image song is titled Don't Give Up.
