Kanon Nakagawa

Kanon Nakagawa is a popular idol, as well as the third capture target in the series who is also the host for the second revealed goddess, Apollo. Kanon is a teenage girl with short pink hair that she is notable for (she used to have waist-length hair during her time in Citron) and dark-pink eyes. Being a superstar idol, Kanon probably has the most number of changes in her clothing in the series, from casual to flamboyant. She is often (if not always) seen wearing a big, yellow ribbon. Most of the time, she seems to wear a blue (sometimes brown) coat over her stage clothes and a hat to prevent being recognized easily by the public. Kanon also wears large, glasses at school. In the anime, Kanon's school uniform is different from other school girls as she wears a short pink tie with a red jewel in place of a red ribbon. Kanon is a good natured, polite and very cheerful person. She becomes fixated on Keima Katsuragi when she learns that he has no idea who she is to the point of attacking him viciously with two stun guns.[1] She also invited him to private concerts, as a way to make him a fan. However, she secretly has a very low self-esteem and her idol status is the only thing that provides her comfort. Being ignored by people greatly disturbs her, evoking traumatic memories of the times when she was ignored and easily forgotten by people around her causing her to suffer from a slight histrionic personality disorder as a result of people either ignoring or unaware about her in the past and seeks attention from people and wants them to acknowledge her existence, hence her reason for becoming an idol. However, as her fame grew, so did her fear that one day she would lose her idol status, her fans and that she would once again "disappear" and be forgotten. Consequently, she is shown to be easily depressed by even the smallest troubles. In the anime, it is shown that her departure from Citron only served to further undermine her self-confidence due to continuing to sing "alone". Kanon's well-mannered and polite personality causes her to be well-liked by her staff and those around her, but she has some elements of fragility and obsessive-compulsiveness. For example, when Keima first agrees to let her email him, she almost immediately sends him an incredibly long email consisting entirely of the words "thank you" (yoroshiku) over and over, afterwards contacting him over virtually everything in her life that disturbs her. Additionally, when Keima failed to recognize her, she went so far as to appropriate stage equipment without her manager's permission and throw him private concerts on the school roof after school. Kanon also has a tendency to talk aloud to herself to deal with her current problems and whatever issues she may face in the future. Keima eventually calls out Kanon's need to be recognized by other individuals and convinces her that her own talent is enough, and that she can "shine" on her own. Later, it is revealed that the goddess Apollo is residing within her, and as a result she remembers her experience with Keima. Because of this, she stares at Keima all the time and eventually confesses to him in front of a large amount of students.
