Description
Kanata Kira is a student in the Male Division at Four Star Academy and a member of the idol unit M4. His birthday is March 16, his blood type is AB, and he stands at a height of 173 centimeters. Kanata has a tan complexion and small, pale blue-green eyes. His short, brown-hazel hair features several strands that stick up or to the side, including a single cowlick at the right corner of his head. A distinctive part of his design includes the white frame glasses he always wears, even on stage, and a pair of headphones he typically keeps around his neck.

In terms of personality, Kanata is cool-minded with a playful nature. He is serious and upfront with his opinions about others, and he often has advice for those who appear troubled. His straightforwardness can manifest as sharp criticism, but it is usually aimed at helping others recognize their mistakes, as seen when he gives Ako Saotome a blunt assessment of her behavior. Despite his calm exterior, he has a teasing side, particularly in his interactions with Ako.

Kanata's role in the story is primarily tied to his membership in M4, the male idol unit at Four Star Academy, where his theme color is green. He is the first male idol in the franchise to wear glasses. It is suspected that his main talent lies in dance, as he has referred to himself as an engraver of cleverly struck cool dance moves. A significant part of his narrative involves his relationship with Ako Saotome. He initially takes an interest in her after discovering her crush on his fellow M4 member, Subaru Yūki, and often teases her about it. However, this dynamic deepens over time. He gives her serious advice about her feelings and worries, and he appreciates her concern when she expresses that she would miss him. In a later episode, when Ako notices rumors of M4 disbanding, Kanata appears before her and announces his own solo debut as a caster, telling her to meet him anytime and finally sharing his name with her for the first time. A known development in his story is that Ako Saotome is later recognized as his romantic partner.
