Chinatsu Kano

鹿野千夏

__Sports Team:__ Basketball __School:__ Eimei Junior and Senior High __Year:__ High School Second-Year / Third-Year A first-year high school student and the rising star of Elmei Junior and Senior High's girls' basketball team. Her personality and skills have made her incredibly popular both inside and outside of her school, to the point where she's been featured in various magazines. Chinatsu can be quite competitive, as she always arrives to Elmei's gymnasium in the morning for open practice even earlier than [Taiki Inomata](https://anilist.co/character/191242/Taiki-Inomata), whom she frequently shares the floor and sometimes plays one-on-one games with. The day after she completed her years as a junior high school student, Chinatsu tearfully practiced playing basketball, having barely failed to qualify for nationals. When Taiki reminds her both of said event and how hard she works, Chinatsu makes it her goal to go to nationals despite her family moving overseas. To get around this, she stays at Taiki's house due to their mothers being friends and former teammates. She gives Taiki a matching foot bracelet when she learns that he also plans to go to nationals. In the _Ao no Hako_ one-shot, Chinatsu is the captain of her school's girls' basketball team.
