Kazane Aoba

**Kazane Aoba** (青葉 風音, *Aoba Kazane*) was a student at Setouchi Keijo Training School. She previously resided in Room 309 before being promoted to the Elite Class.

Upon graduating from Setouchi, Kazane officially becomes a B-Rank Keijo player, affiliated with the Chugoku's Hiroshima Branch. Sometime later, she is able to advance to the A-Rank.

## Appearance

Kazane is a young teenage girl. She has long light brown hair, routinely tied up into a high ponytail.

According to guesswork by Nozomi (and reading her empathetic ponytail), Kazane's bust size stands at a C-cup

## Personality

Just like Sayaka Miyata, she is a quiet girl. However, she is more diffident and completely shy to speak with others. She tends to contact her sister, asking for advice. Sometime after hanging around with her roommates, especially thanks to Nozomi Kaminashi, she gained some confidence. When she is upset, her tone changes roughly. She speaks in Hiroshima dialect.

Her ponytail is highly expressive at times, and occasionally twitches in response to her emotions.

## Background

Kazane came from Hiroshima Prefecture. During her time at her previous school, Kazane was very shy to share her thoughts due to her accent. As a result, she was shunned away by her friends.
Right after entering Setouchi Keijo Training School, the first ranked examinee from the Elite Class, Mio Kusakai, approached and tried to talk with her. However, Kazane ran away, thus Mio stated that she loved her shyness.

## Abilities

When Kazane participates in a trial match, both of her teachers, Nagisa Ujibe and Hitomi Hokuto state that she is fast enough. As such, she is classified as an Outfighter.

**Strategist & Tactician**: Despite her timid nature, Kazane is surprisingly able to cooperate with others. She is even capable of commanding her teammates around, which has been proven during the class exchange match. Furthermore, it has also been shown that Kazane is capable of reading the current situation, and utilizing any stuff around her, like ordering her teammates to flip the "Flight" Land type, which used for the second match of the East-West War.

**Scanning Hand** (スキャニングハンド, *Sukyaningu Hando*): Kazane's right hand is a bit more sensitive than average, which allows her to sense strange winds, constitution, abilities, and habits of the people she touches. She is also able to copy, remember, and understand various Keijo techniques from any butt she touches. So far, she claims to have touched the entire Setouchi students' butts, as well her teacher, Miku Kobayakawa.

**Hip of Babylon** (ヒップ・オブ・バビロン, *Hippu Obu Babiron*): During the training camp her teacher, Kobayakawa, helps her in order to fully master her "Scanning Hand". Thus, Kazane is now capable of accessing various techniques. Through the butts she touches, she can use other people's techniques and make them her own, regardless of the type of techniques. As such, she can also use Infighting and Counter styles. In addition, Kazane is also capable of copying chest attacks.

* **Meteor Hip** (メテオ・ヒップ, *Meteo Hippu*): Initially, this technique is mastered by Nozomi Kaminashi during the training camp. However, Kazane is quickly able to learn this technique and has copied it. Kazane firstly swings her butt to her opponent's face. They later think that she is going to pull her butt back. However, Kazane stops her butt for a few seconds, before striking them down. Essentially, it is a form of feint attack that utilizes the full weight and force of her butt.
* **Mirror Butt** (反鏡尻, *Hankyō Ketsu*): A counter type technique. This technique belongs to Mari Murata. Kazane synchronizes her movement with her opponent's, completely mirroring them, before countering them quickly.
* **Deadly Snake Butt** (凶蛇連尻, *Kyōja Renketsu*): This technique belongs to Rin Rokudo. This allows its user to attack the opponent perpetually at high speeds, while showing a bunch of snakes.
* **Hammer Hip** (ハンマー・ヒップ, *Hanmā Hippu*): This technique belongs to Hanabi Kawai. Kazane swings her butt horizontally to attack the opponent.
* **Derringer Hip** (デリンジャー・ヒップ, *Derinjā Hippu*): This technique belongs to Mio Kusakai. Kazane launches a double attack, targeting her opponent's flank.
* **Boob Dunk** (乳ダンク, *Chichi Danku*): This technique belongs to her teacher, Kobayakawa. Kazane touches her right boob before rushing towards the opponent and attacks them.
* **Giant Swing Butt** (尻大車輪, *Shiri Dai Sharin*): This technique belongs to Usagi Tsukishita. By jumping into the air, the user spins vertically, before unleashing their attack with enough strength.
* **Neith Butt Bolg** (ネイト・ケツ・ボルグ, *Neito Ketsu Borugu*): An ancient butt technique obtained by scanning a pharaoh's butt. Kazane draws out a pharaoh statue. Mimicking a pyramid, Kazane sharpens her butt. While her back turns to the opponent, Kazane releases her butt at high speed. She then targets the opponent's crotch, effectively striking them down. No matter how the opponent tries to dodge, it always targets their crotch. How the technique works is still a mystery, as scientists can't even explain this yet.

**Bright Bridge Straight Drop** (明石海峡落とし, *Akashi Kaikyō Otoshi*): A combination technique she performed alongside Nozomi Kaminashi. As Kazane holds the opponent's right foot, Nozomi holds the opponent's left foot. By force, they are flexing their opponent's feet by using their butts, before flipping them onto the ground.
