Hanamaru Kunikida

Hanamaru Kunikida is one of the main characters from the Love Live! Sunshine!! series.
== Charactah Account ==
Hanamaru was a first year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School prior to its closure and is currently a second year student at Numazu High School, being temporarily integrated at Seishin High School before the former's opening. She is a member of AZALEA, a sub-unit under Aqours.
Hanamaru is a hardworking girl who diligently works at her family's temple. She spends a lot of time reading alone and is easily distracted by books. Since she was raised as a temple girl, Hanamaru does not watch television much, nor does she use the internet, making her outdated. Because of this, she is fascinated with modern technology, yelling her catchphrase "Mirai zura!" when she sees something advanced such as a computer. She was often teased due to this, but was usually defended by her best friend Ruby; however, the first time it happened, Ruby ended up crying, causing Hanamaru to comfort her instead.
Hanamaru seems to be quite self-depreciating, calling herself a "chibi procrastinator" and "neither cute nor interesting". She aspires to be like Ruby, whom she sees as "beautiful, cute and dazzling". She is also gentle and caring for those around her. Despite her appearance, Hanamaru is also smart and not easily fooled.

== Trivia ==
* Hanamaru fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours first years.
* The name Hanamaru means "flower, blossom" (hana) and "round, circle, pills, purity, suffix for ship names, complete" (maru), in which her character symbol consists of a spiral and a flower.
* Hanamaru's surname Kunikida means "country" (kuni), "tree, wood" (ki) and "field, rice paddy" (ta/da).
* Unlike the rest of Aqours, Hanamaru wears a yellow cardigan in her winter uniform, similar to Nico Yazawa wearing her pink cardigan as part of her summer uniform in the original Love Live!.
* Hanamaru is the fictional artist of Maru's 4-koma, a 4-frame comic strip detailing Aqours's activities that started serialization in Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015.
* In real life, Hanamaru's home is based on Raikoji Temple.
* Unlike the other girls, Yoshiko calls Hanamaru "Zuramaru", as a reference to the latter's verbal tic.
** This is also done by Ai Miyashita in Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS.
* Hanamaru is the shortest of the Aqours characters at 152 cm (or 5'0"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the tallest of the Aqours seiyuus.
