Sumire Kano

Sumire Kanou is the former student council president and always manages to get the top grades in school; she is a scholarship student and has horrible eyesight, yet prefers not to wear glasses. Sumire likes Yusaku Kitamura and as a result is the object of a one-sided hostility from Taiga Aisaka. She later leaves and studies abroad in the US, as she wants to become an astronaut, and because of this, she rejects Yusaku's confession and conceals her own feelings, so that he will not pursue her in the US. Sumire is a rather tall and imposing girl. She's beautiful and has long, beautiful dark blue hair and dark blue eyes. In the light novel, her hair is black instead. She wears the school uniform, which is a grey skirt, white ruffled blouse and a red coat. Sumire has a strong-minded personality as she depends on to be a figure to those who will follow. She is reserved, strong, cunning, short-tempered, somewhat rebellious, bold and very determined, and sometimes can be aggressive, rude and hot-tempered, but she actually has a softer side. She is really smart, as she is a scholarship student and always gets high grades at school and also manages being the student council. Despite this, as mentioned in her first episode, she can be quite forgetful, proven by her not remembering how many students forgot their handbooks, and said by Taiga Aisaka, as she forgot to say "At ease." While Sumire is really strong-minded, she is actually quite kind, afraid to hurt other people and also helps other people when they are in need. This is shown when she helps Yusaku Kitamura and invites him to join the Student Council after he got rejected by Taiga. Another example is also when Yusaku confesses his feelings for her, but rejected him in order for him not to follow her in the US because the school will need a new student council president.
