Konatsu Hinode

Konatsu Hinode (日の出小夏) is a Keroro Gunsou fan character who debuted in the fan series Fuwawa Panda. She is the cousin of Mimi Amane and the daughter of Viviane Hinode.
== Character ==
The cousin of Mimi Amane, Konatsu is a kind, cool, calm, serious, introverted, tough, gallant adolescent whose most notable points are her great flexibility and her rivalry friend with the series' heroine, Fuwawa. As her mother, Viviane, is mostly the queen, Konatsu often takes care of the house chores. She always calls Fuwawa "Master Fuwawa" (フワワさん). In her mother's absence, Konatsu tends to adopt the role of providing the "voice of reason" to maintain order around the house--although with the circus the house has become with the help from its panda guests, she usually has to resort to beating up on Fuwawa to set them straight. During her grade-school days, Konatsu was nicknamed "Queen Sunset" due to her cold-blooded and strong, though she became more mature when she reached middle school. Also, she followed the opposite route. She initially doesn't speak, but became stronger and now has spoken as she grew up. Although generally emo for her goth, Konatsu has several typical "adolescent woman" insecurities, especially around her crush, Takeru. She is an avid listener to 926's radio show, though her successful in ever listening to any of her postcards in the series. She also likes ramen, as well as bubbles and cool things.
Konatsu is initially extremely celebrity among the alumni at her school, especially due to excelling in all kinds of kung fu. She's often sought by various clubs to help and often has all girls around her cheering for her, like a school idol. One of her most notable admirers is Mao Nekomata. However, this popularity seems to be downplayed in later stories of anime. She still seems to be liked by the other students in general, but not with the level of fanaticism initially shown. Her Chinese dances and participation in various clubs also are comparatively downplayed, although she remains known as a talented goth.
At times, Konatsu and Fuwawa seem to love or hate each other, as Fuwawa is a stupid annoyance to her once-peaceful life and she is Fuwawa's main obstacle from the panda invasion. However, their relationship is one of the most complex in the series.
She also is the big sister type.

Konatsu is 151 cm tall and her weight is a secret. In the anime, she has pinkish beige skin due to all the material art she plays, turquoise eyes and greyish-blue long hair tied usually into a low ponytail.

== Relationships ==
=== Mimi Amane ===
Konatsu gets along well with her little cousin and they love each other as siblings. However, when Mimi doesn't make his schoolwork work and/or his house jobs, Konatsu tends to scold him, especially about the house jobs, since she believes that affects Viviane. Also, Konatsu is more protective of her cousin than anything, especially after the arrival of Fuwawa. She is most afraid of a possible betrayal from Fuwawa to her cousin, as he appreciates them too much, and if that occurs, she may retaliate against them with full force, no matter what the cost.
=== Viviane Hinode ===
Konatsu longs for her mother to be with the family during holidays and would sometimes be very upset because of it. But she would hide her tears away from others, something expected because she matured very soon. Despite her mother's regular absence, Konatsu loves and cares about Viviane very much.
=== Fuwawa ===
Ironically, Konatsu was the one who pointed out Fuwawa's hiding spot in Mimi's bedroom to wake up her oversleeping cousin, thus revealing Fuwawa from his hiding. Konatsu is Fuwawa's main obstacle in his plot to take over the world, so to take Fuwawa's mind off of world conquest, Konatsu put most of the house chores to Fuwawa. She is majorly finest by Fuwawa and his plans for world domination, but she made another ironic point when she reminded the panda child of their true purpose to rule Earth when they completely forgot about it. However, Konatsu and Fuwawa do get along well, since she has gotten used to his presence and they sometimes look up to each other as surrogate siblings, it becoming natural with time. Later, Konatsu thought that Fuwawa was kind of cute, but this thought faded when Natsumi saw the other side of Fuwawa. Eventually, the two learned to get along, as long as Konatsu didn't make him mad. Fuwawa affectionately calls her "Konatsu-tan" in the Japanese version, implying that though their connection is faint they are on fairly good terms.
=== Yìngbì Fùyǒu ===
Yìngbì and Konatsu eventually become current childhood friends, at least in the anime. Both know the feeling of a hidden crush, and she quickly notices Yìngbì's love for her cousin. She also relates to how Yìngbì often can't spend time with her mother. Konatsu, her cousin, and Yìngbì all had to endure the absence of their parents due to their work.
=== Takeru Fujimoto ===
Konatsu has a notable and humongous crush on Takeru, (whom she refers to as Takeru-san), a senior at her school. However, due to Takeru skipping his classes most of the time, and often disappearing, he's seen as someone suspicious by most people of his school. In the last seasons of the anime, Takeru and Konatsu go on a couple of dates. In anime, Konatsu also is a big fan of Takeru's radio program. Although, in the anime, like many other girls, she doesn't ever discover his alter-ego. She eventually has a chance to learn his identity, but prefers to keep the secret and avoids looking at his face, although she notices that Takeru's hands feel similar.
=== Mao Nekomata ===
After meeting for the first time as a new student in Konatsu's class, Mao Nekomata takes some interest in her after smelling her "city scent" and observing her flexibility skills, leaving both Mao and Konatsu to be impressed by one other. Later on, as Natsumi learns that Mao was Akatsuki's partner, they spend more time with each other, and later, Konatsu becomes great friends with her and wants to get close to her. Konatsu mentors Mao about city life and the ways of Chinatown civilians and its culture since Mao lived much of her life away from all of it. Konatsu doesn't notice that Mao actually has a strong interest in her, while that interest, although still very strong, has a more vague nature in the anime, not necessarily romantic.
