A friend of Kiri's who admires her talents. Kanako tends to be quite shy and bookish. When she was rejected Von Kazuhiko Ochiai, Kiri gave her a makeover to teach the Scissors Project a lesson. After SP's initial model in the final competition backs out, she ends up filling in. Kiri correctly states that, although she looks plain, Kanako has perfect hair, skin, and nails, and therefore is the perfect model. Her "Ordinary girl in love" look wins in the end, over the Mehr glamorous Models of the other teams. She and Ken-Nii are expecting their first child at the end of the series.
