Kanna Yanagi

Kanna is a comfy, humble, and seiso girl known for her positivity and optimism. In her chill vibe, she often giggles and makes cute duck noises. While not above the occasional silly prank or playful tease, she treats everyone with the utmost kindness, and works tirelessly to bring smiles to her community and Vtuber peers alike.

Kanna has blonde hair with a single white stripe, along with pointed ears, yellow eyes, round eyebrows, and large round glasses. She wears a plaid green outer coat, bowtie, and beret, along with a long-sleeved white shirt under a brown short dress. She has a variety of hairstyles, the two most common being very long (beyond waist-length) and very short. In reference to her original incarnation, her hair can have a long spiral ahoge on the right side of her head, along with shoulder-length pigtails. Her arms can transform into harpy wings.

Kanna's original look is that of an always-smiling girl with long pale blond hair, yellow eyes, and round eyebrows. She wears her hair in twin braids falling around her face, with one long spiral ahoge on the right side of her head. Her outfit invokes the Victorian era: blue plaid skirt, short cape around her shoulders, and feathered detective cap, as well as a white shirt, yellow bow tie, and big black boots. She wears large half-rim glasses. She can hold a brown briefcase covered with stickers, or a magnifying glass.

Kanna's YouTube account was created on 7 February 2024.

On 11 May 2024, the PixelLink Twitter account announced the upcoming debuts of their second generation. The post revealed the members' Twitter accounts and teased silhouettes. On 14 May, due to her original Twitter account being shadowbanned, PixelLink made a new Twitter account for Kanna, @KannaPixelLink.
