### First Voting Period

In episode 1, Kanno is introduced in Remember me?. She is evaluated by the other trainers as 17th place. The group is the first to perform in episode 2, where she is evaluated by the trainers at **C** class. She manages to stay in that class after the level reevaluations.

* **First Ranking Announcement:**"(quote not finished)メンバーそれぞれの得意を伸ばしバランスが良く完成度の高いチームを作り上げました。" ((quote not finished) She created a well-balanced and complete team by developing each member's strengths.)

### Second Voting Period

In episode 6, due to none of the top 43 ranked trainees picking "WA DA DA" for the position battle, Kanno is one of the seven trainees put into the "WA DA DA" team. During practice, she feels pressure as this would have been her debut song if she became a member through Girls Planet 999. In the end, she places 32nd overall.

In episode 8, Kanno is voted to perform "Popcorn" in the concept battle by the national producres. Unfortunately, she does not get the chance to perform the song live due to getting 47th place in the second ranking announcement, getting her eliminated from the show.

## Personal Life

* Family

Her mother is Song Minjung, a vocal instructor at SS Vocal Academy. Prior social media posts from Song about Kanno being her daughter have been deleted except for one tweet on Twitter. Despite this, she did not congratulate Kanno for appearing on PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS like she did to Tabuchi Miu and Furuhashi Sayaka, so this may mean that Kanno did not attend the academy (further supported by her specialty in dance instead of vocals).

## Trivia

* Her hobbies are to bake bread, to make latte art, and to design clothes.
	+ She designed the top she wore in her 1 minute PR video.
* Her special skills are dancing and video editing.
* She is the first PRODUCE 101 JAPAN trainee to be from Kagawa.
