Ren Nanao is a female character in Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox, voiced by Mai Kadowaki and known as one of the nearly indistinguishable Nanao twins.
Ren Nanao is a first-year student at Kunpu High School and is one year below Kouta Oyamada.
In the anime adaptation, she and her twin sister are portrayed as an extremely poor pair of sisters.
She looks almost exactly like her twin, Ai Nanao, making the two very hard to tell apart.
The only clear difference is the position of their braided pigtails.
From Ren's own point of view, the one with the braid on the left side is Ren Nanao.
This tiny detail is treated as the key way to distinguish the sisters.
Ren was originally an assassin from Kuzunoha who had been assigned to kill Chizuru Minamoto.
Later, her loyalties changed completely.
She came to admire both Kouta Oyamada and Chizuru Minamoto.
After that, she devoted herself to protecting them, even at the risk of her own life.
Ren and Ai Nanao are twins.
However, it is unknown which of them is the older sister and which is the younger.
Their identical appearance is one of their most notable traits.
Because of this, even people around them can barely tell them apart.
