Kanata Shinonome

Kanata Shinonome is one of the main characters from the AKB0048 series.
== Charactah Account ==
75th Generation Kanata is the captain of the trainees and Sonata's older sister. Of all of the current understudies, no one has it as rough as Kanata. Her father was a pro-entertainment fighter who was killed fighting DES, an event which left her bitter and seeking revenge. Joining 00 as a giant middle finger to the DES, however, didn't work out as she had planned. Despite being with the group for two years she has yet to be made a successor even though all but one other 75th Generation trainee has long since quit.
Kanata is serious and hardheaded. But she cares to her friends and acts as a good leader, and cares for her sister, Sonata.

== Trivia ==
* Kanata is a huge fan of Takamina.
** In Episode 17, she cries at the end of Takamina's speech and she declares that she will always be her guiding star.
* In Episode 17, after Mimori Kishida gives her speech and declaring her promise still stands to Kanata, Kanata says "Mimori from above," which possibly hints that Mimori would become the successor of Mariko Shinoda. This is because of the song Ue Kara Mariko, which means Mariko from Above. Kanata says, "Ue kara Mimori," which means Mimori from above. In Episode 20, it is revealed that Mimori indeed becomes Shinoda Mariko the 8th.
* In Episode 20, while talking to Takamina, Kanata reveals she also had the same fever as Mimori sometime before. It is highly likely that occurred during the time when Kanata was chosen to become the successor of Minami.
* Haruka Ishida (Kanata's seiyuu) also voices Mamoru.
