History Characters / Kanon

* BlindingBangs: The VN uses this hairstyle to hide any potential facial features he may have, best demonstrated in [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/kanon/images/8/89/0095.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161018040203 this CG with Makoto and Mishio]]

* LethalChef: variation. Her cooking is mostly excellent, but that [[GargleBlaster jam...]]

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Strawberries, and especially strawberry sundaes. Yūichi bribes her with them.

%%* RapunzelHair

* RapunzelHair: Hers is down to just past her waist, so it probably counts.

* {{Meganekko}}: She is briefly seen wearing glasses in the Kyo Ani anime version.

The protagonist. At the beginning of the story, he has just returned to the town where he used to spend his vacations as a kid for the first time in seven years in order to stay with his aunt, Akiko, while his parents are out of the country. However, he has practically no memory of the time he spent there all those years ago. As time goes by, he gradually learns why that is, but he may have been better off not knowing. Little does he know that he has [[EarnYourHappyEnding a long,]] [[{{Utsuge}} painful]] journey ahead of him...

A [[GenkiGirl cheerful girl]] well-known both within and outside the story for her VerbalTic and for her [[TrademarkfavoriteFood bordering-on-unreasonable love of taiyaki]], Yūichi meets her early on after she [[CrashIntoHello collides with him head first.]] They quickly become good friends, and this quickly [[RunningGag becomes a running joke]] (though it's later toned down to her simply [[TheGlomp glomping him]]). She is very short and behaves rather childishly, in spite of being the [[OlderThanTheyLook same age as Yūichi.]] She is looking for something important to her, [[EasyAmnesia but she can't remember what it is.]] She is the most prominent of the girls in the story and Yūichi's kanon (pardon the bad pun) love interest.

* IllGirl: [[spoiler:She is in a coma, after all. Still, she has nothing on Shiori, and it's not immediately obvious.]]

A [[IllGirl sickly girl]] that Yūichi and Ayu run into early on, and who is frequently seen hanging around outside the school during classes, apparently waiting for "someone important to her". She's quiet, peaceful and pretty pleasant and normal (though she does have a somewhat odd sense of humor and an odd fondness for eating ice cream in below-freezing weather, not to mention her almost complete terribleness at arcade games), other than being terminally ill, of course. She also has some troubles at home that are vaguely alluded to.

* IllGirl: She has suffered from disease all her life and is almost always absent from school because of her weak condition.

Tropes associated with Amano:

Tropes associated with Kuze:

* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: The President of it, in fact.
* JerkAss: Boy, is he ever...

Yet he still tries to get her blamed for that, too.]]

* StudentCouncilPresident

Tropes associated with the real Makoto:

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Sayuri. Yūichi fantasizes about it in the VN when he's trying to figure out why Sayuri and her seem to get along in spite of being (well seeming to be) opposites. OppositesAttract, after all.
** Of course, in the original canon (ie. the VN), Mai leans as much towards Yūichi as Sayuri.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Mai.

* AccidentalPervert: He once entered the bathroom while Makoto was taking a bath.

* OtakuSurrogate: She likes to read mangas.

* ThePrankster: He enjoys teasing and pulling pranks on everyone he meets.

* TheTrickster: She has nothing on Yūichi though, who easily wins every battle of their "prank war".

* TheTrickster: He enjoys teasing and pulling pranks on everyone he meets.

* AscendedExtra: While she is seen briefly in flashbacks, she makes an appearance in the Creator/KyoAni anime.

* ZettaiRyouiki: A bonafide Grade A, at that.

* ZettaiRyouiki: She wears black and thigh-high socks.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade B, bordering on Grade A, giving her the highest grade other than (occasionally) Makoto in the series.

* CuteLittleFangs: She has small but still noticeable fangs, highlighting her fiery and mischievous nature. [[spoiler:It also serves as a hint about her true nature as a shapeshifted fox.]]

* CuteLittleFangs: She has a small but prominent fang, highlighting her fiery and mischievous nature. [[spoiler:It also serves as a hint about her true nature as a shapeshifted fox.]]

* TheSouthpaw: When Yūichi sees her running towards him again, he tells her to move to the side of the hand she holds her chopsticks with to dodge her, expecting her to go right. It backfires.

* CuteLittleFangs: [[spoiler:Serve as a bit of a hint about her true nature as a shapeshifted fox.]]

* CatchPhrase: "Faito da yo" ("I'm not worried about it" or various similar things in the dub) and "Usotsuki" (which means "liar", but is usually "You're such a liar" in the dub).

!!!Voiced by: Creator/YukoMinaguchi (JP - both anime), Joanne Bonasso (EN)

* {{Fainting}}: [[spoiler:She apparently fainted on her first day of school, and, until late in the series, has been absent ever since.]]

** She’s equally as terrible at her art hobby. Her “best work” was incredibly unimpressive to Yūichi.
* IllGirl

* PerfectHealth: She initially [[HandWave Hand Waves]] her skipping classes and lack of energy as "a cold." While this excuse rapidly wears thin, the [[TheReveal heartbreaking revelation]] is somewhat spoiled by the audience being well aware it could only be a fatal condition.

* SoapOperaDisease

* VictorianNovelDisease
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A.

* PetBabyWildAnimal: [[spoiler:Makoto herself was a young fox that Yūichi took care of as a kid, though she's human during the course of the story.]]
