When Kazuto accidentally walked in on her changing, she remained calm and unembarrassed. Since she initially doesn't see herself as a woman, she doesn't care about being seen naked. And it goes without saying that she begins without much knowledge of sex. To her, being looked at as a woman shows weakness. In fact, when Kazuto called her a pretty girl during their first meeting, she took it as an insult. Sexuality In the first VN, as mentioned earlier, she displays a tough and serious front and refuses to be viewed as feminine. It's also important to note that her anime version is significantly more feminine. Now, in addition to being a protector of the poor, she's got a bit of a sibling complex, and will fiercely defend her "sisters" Chouhi and (eventually) Ryuubi. In the anime, her sense of justice was caused by a very bad past with bandits, who killed her family when she was just a child, including her brother who sacrificed himself to save her. On many occasions she shows considerable jealousy when Kazuto interacts with other girls and when she does she becomes extremely easy to read, even by Chouhi. Eventually, Kazuto's affection reaches her, causing her to warm up and display a much sweeter and more delicate side. At the beginning of the first VN she displays a tough and serious front and refuses to be viewed as feminine.

On occasions, this workaholic nature causes her to pressure others into working just as hard, such as scolding Kazuto for slacking off and making Chouhi study. During peacetime, she dedicates herself to government affairs, sometimes becoming a workaholic. She has a talent for boosting the morale of the people around her and has shown a tremendous amount of bravery on the battlefield. However, those traits, which make her a very reliable comrade during battle, also make her quite stubborn the majority of the conflicts between her and Kazuto arise from the fact that her straight-laced nature conflicts too much against Kazuto's laidback attitude.

Character Personality A fierce defender of the weak, she has a strong sense of honor and justice. Sengoku†Koihime X She makes an off-screen cameo speaking to Kazuto about Kensuke. Kan'u at first felt it was inappropriate as she is older than she is but by the beginning of the third season, she willingly calls Ryuubi her aneue (older sister). After having Ryuubi join them in the second season, she becomes a role model for Ryuubi, who later decides to make a vow of sisterhood with her as Kan'u's older sister (as Kan'u already made a vow with Chouhi's as her older sister). Somewhat self-conscious of her appearance, she often finds herself as the butt of jokes to those who blatantly point out physical aspects of her, such as her age, of which she is very sensitive. She cares a lot for her friends, and she is a sister to Chouhi after they swore a vow of sisterhood. Her past reveals that her family was killed by bandits, which made it her quest to ensure innocent people will never suffer as she did. She is also one of the main characters introduced beside Chouhi. Main article: Shin Koihime†Eiyuutan GaidenĪnime version Kan'u is known as the Beautiful Black-Haired Bandit Fighter who wields the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Shin Koihime†Musou/ Shin Koihime†Musou -Kakumei. Even after putting an end to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, she remains the driving force behind the Hongou faction and displays many heroic actions in the wars that follow, often being the leading voice for the other girls as well as the motivator of the group. Although she understands that, relatively speaking, Kazuto is just a regular person, the two decides to keep the "Messenger from Heaven" act for the sake of raising people's morale so that they can gather volunteer soldiers. Although Kazuto insists that he is not the savior mentioned in the prophecy, his words show that he places the well-being of the people above himself, so Kan'u decides that he is indeed the Messenger from Heaven (at the very least, a worthy master to serve under) and becomes the first person to vow loyalty to him. Due to Kazuto's strange attire and manner of speech (English loan-words), she subsequently believes him to be the messenger. She shows up shortly after Hongou Kazuto is warped to her world and saves him from a group of bandits. She hears from a prophet named Kanro about a certain "Messenger from Heaven" who will end all the unrest. Arguably the main heroine, Kan'u leaves her hometown with Chouhi to save people suffering from the Yellow Turban Rebellion and also to search for a master who holds the power to quell the violence.
