**Aina Kawano** (Japanese: **河野 愛菜** *Kawano Aina*) was previously a 2nd-year student at Inarizaki High and the close friend of Inari Okami. As of 2018, she is currently a teacher at Yako Junior High.

## Appearance

Aina is known as the petite and charming 2nd year by students from neighboring classes, described as a cute girl with long strawberry blonde hair and hazel doe eyes.

## Personality

Aina is portrayed as very kind and approachable, who always has a carefree and gentle aura around her that makes her appear likable in most people's eyes. It is because of this trait that Inari kept her close. She is known to be very shy as well despite being approachable, as she tends to stutter whenever she attempts to give away excess cookies she baked from Home Economics. She is also conscious of her weight like typical high school girls and gets very flustered whenever someone asks about her measurements every month.

Being enrolled in a college preparatory class, she seems to be academically intelligent.

## Background

Prior to her 2nd year, she used to live with her parents and older sister somewhere around Kobe, but moved out to live in the same apartment complex as Inari mid-winter break before the moving up ceremony.

She is a member of the Gardening Club, and developed a crush on Osamu Miya somewhere in the middle of her 1st year in Inarizaki.

## Statistics

 Stamina
 Game Sense
 Technique
 Speed

Despite not having any form of strong physical prowess, being personally engaged in sports or any heavy physical activities, she has the stamina of an average high school sports player, and can easily read and understand the complexities of the volleyball due to Inari's teaching and by attending volleyball matches of her school.

Though she does not really know how to perform the skills she sees and learns as she watches.

## Relationships

### **Inari Okami**

They are always seen together throughout the series, as they have been classmates since their 1st year. Being each others' closest friends, Aina is very skillful in reading Inari the same way Inari is to her. She takes note of the slightest, subtle habits and most of the time points it out whenever she tries to egg information out of her, much to Inari's dismay. She pleaded her parents all vacation to allow her to live alone so she can be closer with Inari, which shows the secure bond they share with each other.

She calls Inari 'Inarrin' because she found the sound of it cute, and urged Inari to call her the same way with 'Ainnan'.

### **Osamu Miya**

She first met Osamu during her mid-1st year in Inarizaki as she tended the plants in the school garden, rendering her awestruck by his large build and appearance, immediately getting intimidated. He, however, approached her subtly by pointing out how the plant was drowning as she was stuck in a trance as she stared at him. Embarrassed and confused, she continuously bowed and apologized both to Osamu and the plant, much to his amusement, before he bid farewell and left her stunned. She returned back to her classroom shortly after tucking away the equipment she used back in the garden shed and gushed about him through Inari, to which the latter replied saying that she knew him and that he was a volleyball player for the school. She started attending not only Inari's matches but also the men's volleyball matches after that.

### **Mika Yamaka**

While it is unknown how and when they got acquainted, it seemed that they are quite close as they call each other on a first name basis and they both have each other's contacts and emails saved on their phones.
