Personality

Kano may appear to be a sweet person at first. However, she is also known to be quite smug, especially when she executes tongue twisters well. She is also dubbed as the "overlord" of the group, and playfully bullies other members, especially Hareru, even when Hareru is being called "senpai."

She is also a yandere, especially when teased about her height or when a "daredemo daisuki" (DD for short, a type of viewer who loves any and every VTuber) is in her stream.

She is a little weak to horror, or is she?

Appearance

She has long, light peach hair braided into twintails that are tied up by navy blue-gold ribbons, and eyes with peach-colored irises. Her original design from Hanayori Girls' Dormitory depicts her with shorter hair and a light red school uniform.

As her utaite persona, she has short brown hair and eyes with blue irises. As a deer girl, she has short deer horns and a pair of deer ear-like locks of hair on her head. This deer girl design is nicknamed "Bambino."

Background

Her X (Twitter) account was created in July 2019, while her first tweet was made on 1 August.

Identity
  • Kano shares her name with , as well as her birthday. In fact, Kano (utaite) has promoted Hanayori on her social media, which confirmed that she debuted as a Virtual YouTuber. ** Kano is the only member of Hanayori Girl's Dorm, being referred to simply by the name "Kano" with no last name given. In her personal intro-song she states she does in fact have a last name, but "asking about it will get you banned". * After Hanayori Girls' Dormitory was disbanded, she changed her YouTube channel name, X (Twitter) handle, Oshi Mark/Emoji, the hashtag for stream impressions and the hashtag for illustration. ** Her YouTube channel name was changed from "鹿乃 / Kano" to "Kano game channel" before she re-debuted as Kano Mahoro. ** She changed her X (Twitter) handle from @kano_hanayori to @kanolive_ before deactivating it and migrating to her new account. ** Her Oshi mark was changed from 🌼🎄 to 🍓🕊. ** Before she rebranded her name to Kano Mahoro, her hashtag for stream impressions was changed from #花より鹿乃でしょっ to #かのちら ** During this time her hashtag for illustration was also changed from #鹿乃art to #絵えかの ** After rebranding, the name Kano effectively serves the purpose of a last name due to how she writes this name in Japanese ("Kano" 鹿乃 goes first before "Mahoro" まほろ), although due to her Hanayori-era naming, it continues to be used as if it was still her first name. *During her 3rd costume reveal, she explained that the rebranding was due to a funny but serious incident: when she was still using the mononym "Kano" (鹿乃) (i.e. her pre-Mahoro era), she got a lot of complaints that she was supposedly a "crazy woman who stole the name Kano (鹿乃) from the (more famous) girl with the deer horns," even though she was in fact, the very same person. She thought of coming clean to explain, and in the end made a distinction (by adding "Mahoro" (まほろ) to her VTuber name), although ultimately she now lets fans call her the way they want (e.g. Kano-chan, Mahoro-chan, Kano Mahoro, etc.) ** On 11 February 2025, Kano made it clear that she was the same person as the deer girl utaite Kano, with the release of her original song Doppelganger to Fukuseiganger (ドッペル原画と複製ゲンガー) on her official utaite channel. The music video clearly shows both of her personas on both the thumbnail and the MV itself. She also started putting links to her utaite Twitter on the description of her VTuber streams.
