Kano is bold and always goes straightforward toward what she wants.
She has strong opinions and doesn't easily change her mind just because of others.
Sometimes, she acts without thinking much and rushes into things.
She is very optimistic, even when others think her ideas are not realistic.
For example, she once tried to push a super hard schedule and wanted to learn songwriting overnight even though she had no experience.
Her friend Mahiru Kōzuki once asked, "Kano, are you maybe really silly?" because of this.
She can sometimes be seen as thoughtless or too simple, but she is always honest.
Kano used to be a famous idol in the group "Sunflower Dolls."
Her idol stage name was "Nonoka Tachibana," and she was the leader and center of the group.
During her time in the group, Kano felt lonely as jealousy from other members made her isolated.

A rumor that Kano hit Mero became the reason she quit the group.
When Kano was in elementary school, her parents got divorced.

Her mother, Yukine Hayakawa, works as the manager of Sunflower Dolls.
Kano is the main singer and lyricist for the unit "JELEE-chan."

Previously, JELEE-chan was her solo project, but now it’s a team with her as the leader.
Kano is a big fan of illustrator Mahiru Kōzuki, who goes by the artist name "Yoru Kurage."
The group name "JELEE-chan" comes from a jellyfish painting Mahiru did when she was young, but Kano spelled it wrong.
Mei "Kim Anouk" Takanashi is a huge fan of Kano’s old idol self “Nonoka Tachibana," but has complicated feelings about Kano's new direction.
Kano lives with her big sister, Mion Hayakawa.
Her mother is the manager of her old idol group.
Kano is described as having a "Cleopatra-like" nose.
She is not good at composing music, but she tries hard to learn, even picking up books called things like "Composition for Gals: The Ultimate Edition."
