[Character in Kin'iro no Corda 1&2]

Kahoko is a student at Seisou Academy (星奏学院, Seisō Gakuin), Class 2-2. She is 162cm tall.

She has a warm and friendly personality and is very honest and straightforward, as shown from the way she expresses herself through her violin.

She lives with her mother and older sister as well as having an older brother studying in a university but her father wasn't mentioned in the story. She confesses to have a strong craving for sweet things.

Kahoko has never played or touched a violin until she meets the strange music fairy, Lili. Though at first reluctant about playing the violin, she soon begins to love music. She is a polite and considerate girl who puts others' feelings before her own, though at times she can appear rather naive, especially in music. The boys involved in the concurs have obvious crushes on her, though Kahoko is unable to figure that out because of her sweet, but dense personality. She also is unable to realize that every time she feels depressed, the other members strangely feel the same way. Near the end of the manga Kahoko realized that she has a deep respect and apparent feelings for Len. They are in one way the official pairing in the anime and the manga.

Even so, Mizue said that he was skilled in both basketball and soccer, which Mizue points out that whenever he plays, there will always be girls cheering for him. As told by Mizue, he was also in the basketball club when they were in middle school.

He does not like Tsukimori, and they often get into many disagreements. Their arguments can vary in topics, from a notebook to their style of performance. This rivalry happens possibly because of the fact that they are falling for the same girl.

His birthday is November 12 (Scorpius).

Before he entered Seiso, he attended a public boys school that was hard to get into and played tennis. He received several confessions from girls everyday but he refused them all. When he was at the park, he heard Kahoko playing and immediately fell in love with her.

After that, he came to that park everyday to come see her but he never saw her again until he saw her beside him while crossing a street. He followed her and he saw her meeting with Ousaki and Len to perform at a store's opening party. He disguised himself as a mascot so he can go inside and hear Kahoko play.

After he entered Seiso he saw Kahoko and kissed her hand. When girls confessed to him he would say, "Sorry, I appreciate your feelings but I am completely dedicated to Hino-san." He would also compliment Kahoko every morning.

He previously played the violin but dropped it and now plays the viola because of an incident in the past. It was shown that when Kaji was still a child, he attended the same class with Tsukimori, Ousaki, and Etō. However, on the day of the recital, he backed out after hearing Len's music. It was inferiority that broke down his confidence.

He first met Kahoko at the local park when he overhears her playing the violin and he was so captivated by it that he openly declares himself her number one fan. He also admits that he doesn't have confidence in his own performances since he lacked training, but he has very sharp hearing and can easily spot flaws in others' performances. He is also very fast in tuning his instruments.

He addresses everyone politely, as he, like Yunoki, was also brought up in a respectable and wealthy family. Aoi, however, was allowed more freedom by his family. He doesn't get along with Azuma, often exchanging cynical remarks with the upperclassman, and he is perhaps the only one other than Kahoko to know Azuma's true personality.

His grandfather owns a hospital and his father is a politician. His grandfather hopes that he will major in medicine, so that he can someday take over the position as head of the hospital.

Soon after, she was there every time he went to the place to have his lunch. Later, she brought a trumpet she borrowed from the school's music room.

She commented that maybe she was the type that was to be pampered. The reason was Tsuchiura always called her by her last name, but Mizue called him in his first name instead. She noticed that when they are together, he never looked happy and which Kahoko realised during their meeting at the garden café.
