Chino Kafu

Blood type: AB, Birthday: December 4, Height: 144 cm, Age: 13 years old in the second year of middle school → 14 years old in the third year of middle school → 15 years old in the first year of high school.

She is the granddaughter of the owner of Rabbit House and the poster girl. She has light blue straight long hair with cross-shaped hairpins on both sides. Except when going to school, she always carries an Angora rabbit named Tippy on her head. She is well-versed in coffee, able to identify the origin and brand by smell alone, though she cannot drink it without sugar and milk, showing her age-appropriate side.

She has a cool and quiet personality, speaking politely to everyone. Initially, she was perplexed by Cocoa, who treated her like a younger sister on her own high-spirited terms, but recently she has been building a trusting relationship, feeling jealous of Maya and Meg, whom Cocoa newly made her sisters, and jealous of Cocoa being admired as a sister by Fuyu. She is also disturbed by Cocoa's remarks about eventually leaving her. When Cocoa went back to her hometown and was absent from the shop, she became clingy, showing her spoiled side, and faithfully followed a schedule proposed by Rize, showing her honesty. However, she also demonstrated her ability to manipulate by providing the perfect incentives to guide Cocoa and others who had not finished their summer homework, earning her recognition from Rize for her potential as a teacher.

She usually acts cold towards Cocoa and is not enthusiastic about being treated as a younger sister, but when she ate brandy-filled chocolate and got drunk, she became a sisterly figure. She dislikes being treated as a child and has a slight complex about her youthful appearance, showing strong interest in foods and items said to promote growth, though she is quite picky about food. She also has a fondness for children.

She is a grandchild who dreams of becoming a skilled barista and taking over the family business in the future. In her first year of high school, she also confided her desire to inherit the shop while creating her own style of café. She usually claims that Tippy's voice is her ventriloquism to keep Tippy's true identity (explained later) a secret from anyone other than her family. She is generally shy, and in the past, she would only talk to her grandfather or father, so her hobbies, besides playing chess with her grandfather, include solitary activities like bottle ships and puzzles. If her grandfather had not run a coffee shop, she might have aimed to become a chess player.

She loves cute animals, especially rabbits, and gets excited when she sees them, but she actually has a constitution that animals do not become attached to, and apart from Tippy, she can only properly touch Anko, while envying other characters interacting with animals. She also likes fairy tales and books about cute animals, and treasures a rabbit stuffed animal given by Rize, reacting to words like "rabbit" and "fluffy," which she has in common with Cocoa. When this is pointed out, Cocoa is delighted, but she herself is disturbed and denies it. As time passes, she starts showing a mischievous side, and Rize and Syaro comment that she is becoming more like Cocoa.

She has classmates named Maya and Meg, and the three are called "Chimame (squad)" based on the initials of their names. She became friends with them when they invited her to a treasure hunt at the start of middle school, but initially, they misunderstood the meaning of her dream of becoming a barista. She is relieved that there are no class changes in middle school because they are her few friends, but regarding high school, she has decided to attend the same school as Cocoa even if it means separating from Maya and Meg. She passed the entrance exam for the high school Cocoa attends, graduated from middle school, and became classmates with Fuyu in high school. After her grandfather, who was inside Tippy, passed away, she taught herself ventriloquism.
