Hanayo Koizumi

Hanayo Koizumi, also known as Kayochin, is one of the main characters from the Love Live! School Idol Project series.
== Charactah Account ==
A first-year student who secretly knows a lot regarding school idols and idols in general. She and Rin are best friends. She is a member of Printemps, a sub-unit under µ's.
Hanayo is a very shy, quiet character who doesn't normally voice her opinions. She is very reserved and will often let other people make decisions for her because of this. Hanayo is also easily scared. However, her personality changes when it comes to school idols, as she is very enthusiastic about them.
Hanayo loves to eat anything, especially rice balls. For that reason, she usually gets upset with her weight, as shown in Season 2 Episode 7.

== Trivia ==
* Hanayo fulfills the pure attribute of the µ's first years.
* The name Hanayo means "flower, blossom" (hana) and "light, sun, male" (yo).
* Hanayo's surname Koizumi means "small" (ko) and "spring, fountain" (izumi).
* Hanayo occasionally wears glasses, though she rarely uses them. At the beginning of Season 1 Episode 5, she is seen without her glasses and wears contacts.
* In the anime, Rin is the only known character to address Hanayo as "Kayo-chin". She is also sometimes referred to as "Kayo" by others in other media.
** "Kayo" is an alternate reading of the kanji in her name.
** Most notable in Love Live! School idol festival, in which Maki addresses Hanayo as such.
** In Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS, Kasumi calls Hanayo "Kayoko" or "Hanako" (to match Shizuku's nickname "Shizuko", Rina's nickname "Rinako", and Shioriko's nickname "Shioko").
* In the audio drama, she was once addressed to be "Kayoppe" by Honoka in Love Live! Tatoeba Konna Love Train audio drama.
* Love Live! fans also call her "Pana" because a phonetic change happens when "h" comes after "n" during "RinHana", hence "RinPana".
* Hanayo originally had an older brother .
* In the Love Live! School idol diary books, Hanayo's mother was previously an idol in training before quitting to marry someone (in that case, Hanayo's father) before her proper debut.
* Given Hanayo's enthusiasm about rice, fans inferred that this is the only food she ever wants to eat. (whether the rice ball she ate had no filling is unclear.)
** This was further emphasized in Love Live! The School Idol Movie, as she broke down to tears after eating bread for a few days on her trip to America.
** Later solidified in one of the School Idol Diary Special Edition chapters where she was shocked after Rin adds curry onto her white rice.
* Though applied to the School Idol Diary continuity, Hanayo is shown to have romantic feelings for Rin in the final chapters of the "Spring-Colored Valentine" book. On the last page of the manga adaptation, she kissed Rin albeit off-frame, after Rin proposed to her that she wanted her to be her bride.
* Hanayo is Ruby Kurosawa's favorite µ's member.
** Both are first years who fulfill the pure attribute.
