Kana Arima (有馬 かな)

Kana Arima is a central character in Oshi no Ko, known for her prodigious talent as a former child actor and later as an idol in the revamped B-Komachi group under Ichigo Production. Despite her early success, her career faces turbulence as she navigates the pressures of fame, ageing out of "cute" roles, and her complex relationships with peers like Aqua and Ruby Hoshino.

Appearance

Kana is petite, standing at 150 cm, with shoulder-length pinkish-red hair that has blunt bangs, emphasizing her youthful image. Her large, expressive eyes shift between sharp determination and vulnerability, reflecting her emotional depth. As an idol, she wears B-Komachi’s signature outfits—colourful, frilly costumes that contrast with her more subdued casual wear, such as sweaters and skirts. Her appearance deliberately straddles innocence and maturity, a duality she struggles with professionally.

Personality

Kana is prideful, sharp-tongued, and fiercely competitive, masking deep-seated insecurities about her fading relevance in the entertainment industry. A former child star hailed as a "genius," she struggles with the sharp contrast between her early success and the challenges she faces as she transitions to adult roles, leading to moments of self-doubt. Despite her tsundere exterior—often teasing or clashing with Aqua Hoshino—she is deeply caring and values genuine connections. Her work ethic is relentless, driven by a desire to prove her worth beyond her "cute" image.

Kana’s relationship with Ruby Hoshino is fraught with playful rivalry, evidenced by Ruby’s mocking nicknames for her. However, their dynamic hides mutual respect. Her unrequited feelings for Aqua add emotional complexity, as she balances her career ambitions with personal vulnerabilities.
