She also loves softball and going to karaoke booths.

Clubs and Hobbies Ĭhika is talented in horizontal bar, table tennis, and calligraphy. In one of the audio dramas, it is revealed Chika not only has a habit making puns, but of explaining them without being asked as well. On the other hand, she's not above making snide, deadpan expressions whenever one of her friends is acting strange, such as with Yoshiko. Season 1 Episode 11 eventually culminates with this on her and Riko comforting a jealous You about this. Since Riko moved to Uchiura, however, Chika becomes very interested in befriending her new fellow second year. She loves and treasures the friendships she's made throughout her years at school, especially with You, who has been her childhood friend. This can be seen in Season 1 Episode 9, where she mediates a dispute between Kanan and Mari after a nervous Dia is unable to calm things down. This can be seen during Season 1 Episode 8, when she is deeply frustrated on the inside after Aqours' disappointing performance compared to the other school idol groups.Ĭhika heavily dislikes when her friends get into confrontations she deems petty, being one of the very few things that can anger her. Her energetic and perseverant nature also makes her rather impatient and easy to tease about giving up, only to make her even more perseverant on achieving her goal.ĭue to her usual positive nature, however, she tends to hide her more sensitive side, and tries hard not to cry when she is frustrated, as she feels it would drag down others' morale if they were to see her feeling sad.


Her positive, can-do attitude gradually begins to affect everyone around her as well as the anime progresses. The latter point is especially notable, as it is shown multiple times in the anime, such as when she kept on trying to persuade the school council president, Dia Kurosawa, to let the School Idol Club be approved. She becomes fascinated with the idea of school idols, so she decides to start, with You, a school idol club of their own at their high school.Ĭhika is very energetic, goofy, sociable and has a very strong sense of perseverance. In the first episode, on a trip to Tokyo with You, the two learned about school idols and the Love Live! tournament after seeing a screen with school idols at the Akiba Dome, including µ's. They also own a large dog named Shiitake. According to magazine material, her sisters are also fans of μ's, though this does not seem to have been retained in the anime adaptation. She is neighbors with former Otonokizaka first year student Riko Sakurauchi and is childhood friends with Kanan Matsuura and You Watanabe.Ĭhika's elder sisters are Shima and Mito. She is the youngest of three sisters and comes from a family with a ryokan known for its open-air, ocean-view hot springs. Chika is the second year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School who launched Aqours.
