## Profile

Elder twin brother of the Yatonokami family. He is an orphan in a poor city, raised by adults who oppressed him; thus he hardly trusts anyone. He is careless and tends to find things troublesome, but is devoted and will do anything for his twin brother, Nayuta. As of now, both of the twins are living off the money that they make from rapping for shady underground business.

## Appearance

Kanata has fair skin with purple bluish eyes. His hair is white with purple tips and the inside of his hair is turquoise. He parts his hair to the right and wears a white and purple cap. Kanata wears a blue patterned shirt and a multiple colored jacket with *cozmez* wordings. He also wears a turquoise belt to hold his white pants in place and wears the same turquoise, purple and blue sneakers like Nayuta. As part of his look, Kanata wears different accessories like a chain necklace with *cozmez* logo, a white belt choker and a snake earring on his left ear identical to Nayuta.

## Personality

Kanata described as "Tsundere" rapper: he is quite rude towards strangers but has soft side toward Nayuta. Due to his harsh past, he cannot trust anyone except Nayuta, who he has sworn to protect. A running gag in the series is that Kanata will get angry or go berserk if someone mocks or bullies Nayuta, even if that someone was just trying to befriend cozmez (notably Allen).
