Kaname Chidori - Overview

Overview

At first glance, Kaname appears to be a normal 16-year-old high school student. Unfortunately, the discovery of her technological abilities attracts the attention of terrorist organizations. As a result, Sousuke Sagara is assigned by Mithril to protect her. While Sagara's battle intuition generally saves her from dangerous situations, she often considers his instincts irritating in the daily high school events, leading to countless comical situations. Nonetheless, she and Sousuke continue to grow closer.

Kaname's abilities also grant her an inherent knowledge (but not necessarily understanding) of advanced mathematics and science. It is no surprise that she consistently achieves top scores in these subjects at school. Her abilities as a Whispered, however, have their limitations.

Kaname is very easy to anger, especially considering Sousuke's behaviour. A majority of the stunts pulled by Sousuke will cause Kaname to go into a fit of rage and either hit Sousuke or chew him out. However, she has a soft spot for him and when he does a good job she will often cook for him or give him a compliment. She is constantly battling for Sousuke with Teletha Tessa Testarossa, although the two usually end up either making fools of themselves or hurting him.

The character is based on Shoji Gatoh's real-life friend, whose name is also Kaname Chidori.
