Character

Kirino Chiba

千葉 紀梨乃

Described as being the heart of the group, Kirino is a bubbly and energetic girl. She is intelligent and in the top twenty of her class. No matter how terrible a situation is she will find a bright side. She always does her best to keep everyone on the team motivated and happy. However, if she is suffering, she will hide it from others and keep up a brave face, something that Sayako Kuwahara scolds her about. She is extremely dedicated to the kendo team and is shown to be very responsible, often cleaning up after other members and checking on everyone’s progress. While she is talented at kendo, her focus can wane due to her feeling the need to think about and care for everyone else. Only when she has one specific thing to work for, such as doing her best for her mother in the hospital, can she completely concentrate.
