Character

Kanako Yamazaki

山崎加奈子

A surly, gruff, authoritative young woman who lives with Yayoi and takes care of her. She hires Murata Hideo to do odd jobs for her, much to his chagrin. She is a vicious fighter and extremely protective of Yayoi. Her motives for attacking Hajime and Arashi are not clear until later on in the series. Kanako is one of the shadows in the story-telling portions of the anime.
