Kanazawa

**Kanazawa** (カナザワ, *****Kanazawa*****) is a major character in the *Girls' Last Tour* series.

He is a wandering cartographer (mapmaker) who aims to map the whole post-apocalyptic world, including all the city layers of the Megacity ruins. He is seen carrying a backpack filled with his paperwork and carefully hand-drawn blueprints of the megacity. Prior to meeting Chito and Yuuri (GLTM: "Encounter", GLTA: "Encounter, City, Streetlights"), Kanazawa was seen travelling with a female companion who mysteriously vanished. (GLTM: "Connection", GLTA: "Connection, Friends")

## Description

### Appearance

The general appearance of Kanazawa is that of a middle-aged guy with ordinary height, black hair, and round spectacles. He can be seen dressed in a black jacket, black pants, black boots, and a pair of black gloves. Kanazawa is first seen carrying a camera, a brown bag with his scribbled maps of the megacity, and a grey backpack. (GLTM: "Encounter", GLTA: "Encounter, City, Streetlights") In order to lessen the need for him to position his head when taking a picture, Kanazawa is also shown wearing a pair of goggles over his eyes that double as a screen and are attached to the camera. (GLTM: "City", GLTA: "Encounter, City, Streetlights")

### Personality

It has been Kanazawa's lifelong ambition to map the post-apocalyptic world, including all of the city's layers, displaying his tenacious character to record each and every region of the megacity. Cartography is his primary occupation.

Unfortunately, after his bag with his maps fell to the ground when the elevator he, Chito, and Yuuri were riding in abruptly slanted, Kanazawa subsequently develops depression. (GLTM: "Streetlights", GLTA: "Encounter, City, Streetlights") Yet Yuuri's assurances subsequently help to prevent this.

## History

Before the start of the manga, Kanazawa was seen travelling with an unnamed female companion. However, it is completely unknown what happened to her, let alone what went on. (GLTM: "Connection", GLTA: "Connection, Friends")

Chito and Yuuri first come across Kanazawa when they use an explosive to bomb one of the abandoned buildings in an effort to cross the gap and reach the other side. (GLTM: "Encounter", GLTA: "Encounter, City, Streetlights")

His bag full of maps falls to the ground due to a broken elevator going to the next level, undoing the most of his progress. This gradually makes him depressed, but Yuuri eventually lifts his depressive spirits. (GLTM: "City", GLTA: "Encounter, City, Streetlights")

Later, before leaving Chito and Yuuri alone, Kanazawa offers them his Camera. (GLTM: "Streetlights", GLTA: "Encounter, City, Streetlights")

As Chito and Yuuri visited the drawers that turned out to be the graves of the deceased, Chito and Yuuri stated that he and Ishii would probably be forgotten along with the people who passed away for many years. (GLTM: "Memory", GLTA: "Memory, Spiral, Moonlight")

When Chito, Yuuri and later Nuko arrived aboard the Nuclear Submarine, they later unwittingly connected Kanazawa's camera to the submarine's computers, which revealed a variety of folders containing picture files. Chito then sees images of Kanazawa and his unnamed female companion standing next to him, along with further images of the same woman, before more images and recordings of historical occurrences in their world — particularly wars, family portraits, news reports, wars, etc. in different points of time started to appear around them. (GLTM: "Connection", GLTA: "Connection, Friends")

According to the fully-transformed Eringi Queen, Chito and Yuuri are the sole remaining survivors in the stratum they are now in within the megacity. It is uncertain if Kanazawa has passed away or not. (GLTM: "Friends", GLTA: "Connection, Friends")
