Shuuya Kano

Shuuya Kano is one of the main characters from the Kagerou Project series.
== Charactah Account ==
Mekakushi Dan Group Member No.3, Shuuya is a rather laid back and he tends to smile all the time. He likes to tease and can be a flirt, but when it counts he's very reliable.
Outwardly, Kano has an unfocused, aloof personality and always has a smile on his face. Because he teases Marry, Momo, and Kido a lot, he's often considered to be a flirt - but when it counts, he's worth relying on.
Shuuya's actual personality, which he hides behind his ability the majority of the time, is quite subdued and mature. He seems to be mistrustful of others and carries around self-loathing tendencies, believing himself to be "useless".

== Trivia ==
* Like the other two from the orphanage, Shuuya is referred to with his last name rather than his first name.
* Shuuya's favorite prefecture is the Saga Prefecture.
* Jin stated that, although Kido is No. 1 of the Mekakushi Dan, Shuuya actually plays the role of a leader in the story.
* Shuuya's hoodie was a gift from Ayano when they were younger. However, in the manga, it was a gift from Ayaka to be used to hide their eyes when their powers would activate.
* Shuuya is the shortest boy in the team compared to the male Mekakushi Dan members (aside from Hibiya, who is still in elementary school). In one anthology, Kido stated that the reason why Kano still wears boots even in scorching summer is to make himself look taller.
* According to the character designs booklet in Newtype Magazine 2014, it is stated that Shuuya's charm point is his eyes.
* Shuuya was the quickest to learn how to control his ability, excluding Ene, Konoha, and Kenjirou.
* When Shuuya, Kido and Seto were children, Shuuya was the tallest out of the three.
* Shuuya has poor balance and is easily motion sick.
* Shuuya gets flustered easily and has trouble filtering which emotions he shows, which is why he rarely genuinely smiles.
* Shuuya's official age is stated to be 17 in Sidu’s art collection book (2015) as well as in his official character profile from the anime magazine PASH, making him slightly older than Kido. Seto is the youngest of the trio. Kano is also in the same school grade as Kido and Seto. In Yobanashi Deceive IV, Ayaka tells the Trio that Ayano is 'older than you all by one year... Odd, didn’t the administrator tell you?' Because Kano's birthday is May 10, he is the oldest of the Trio and closest in age to Ayano, as his birthday occurs before the main story that happens August 14th-15th.
* Shuuya has taken on the forms of a black cat (various Routes), his mother (only specified in the Novel Route), Ayano Tateyama (various Routes), Haruka Kokonose in the Mekakucity Actors Route, Momo Kisaragi and Azami in the Novel Route, and Marry Kozakura in Manga Route 2. The latter two forms are taken on when the Mekakushi Dan attempt to stop the Snake of Clearing Eyes.
** In the Novel Route's Kagerou Daze VII -from the darkness-, Shuuya promises to the Dan he'll stop following what Clearing says, which implies he will drop some previous forms such as Momo and Ayano when Deceiving Shintaro, particularly, as he also felt remorse for what he had done to Shintarou.
** In the Music Route, Shuuya is also briefly seen a handful of times as a female in Yobanashi Deceive, who wears a female version of Kano's own outfit. Official, contributing and previous artists such as Sidu, Wannyanpoo, and Mahiro Satou have since drawn various drawings of Kano's female form as well, though this design has yet to appear within the main storyline.
** Kano's female form is called "Kanoko" in Japan.
