== Charactah Account ==
After discovering her potential and love for karuta by the new transfer student Arata, she becomes dedicated to the sport and starts a karuta club with her childhood friend Taichi in their first year of high school. Starts off as a B-Class karuta player before moving to A-Class at the beginning of the series, she aspires to one day become the Queen of Karuta. Profoundly beautiful, but tomboyish to a fault, Chihaya becomes the captain of the school's karuta team.
Chihaya is a tomboyish, outgoing and ambitious girl who does not do well academically. However, she is very diligent when it comes to karuta. She is generally absent-minded or oblivious towards her surroundings and feelings of others, except when it comes to karuta. Chihaya trusts others easily and can be deceived with little effort. She is seen as good-natured, easy-going, and as straightforward as her style of karuta. She often says the first thing that pops into her head, much to the dismay of those around her. She is also extremely competitive towards anyone she perceives as a rival, friend or foe, and can be very petty. Though she's pretty, everyone calls her a 'beauty in vain' because her attitude and general behavior does not match her looks. She is obsessed with "Daddy Bear". She wears clothes with the "Daddy Bear" logo and also has a "Daddy Bear" on her school bag.
