Biography
An esteemed painter without any fixed style who was once blind: Kanami Ibuki. After miraculously having her vision restored, she became a painter as a way of portraying the beauty she witnesses. Along with her prior blindness, Kanami has bad legs and is unable to walk around much, if at all, thus she sits in a wheelchair-like apparatus. Since she was blind, she's had a caretaker, Shinya Sakaki. Once her vision returned, Shinya taught Kanami how to paint, though was swiftly surpassed by her.
Kanami is a rather quiet person, keeping herself neat and tidy, though she is more than capable of talking, even arguing, with others. She doesn't get along well with others and can easily hate other people, though she hates Akane Sonoyama the most. Besides that, Kanami can have calm conversations with Ii or apologize if she goes too far. When conversing with Ii, she often says, "You didn't know?," as a catchphrase.
Kanami is a harsh artist, and will not hesitate to destroy a piece she's made. If the art's audience cannot describe what makes it good, she considers it worthless and simply shrugs it off.
Akane and Kanami often verbalize how much they hate each other even with the slightest of mention. Kanami, however, respects Akane's position, but hates her as a person. On the contrary, Akane hates painters but doesn't particularly hate Kanami herself. ~!Their hate for each other seems to be a ruse, as the two jokingly switched identities for fun prior to arriving on Wet Crow's Feather Island!~ ~!After Kanami is decapitated, it's revealed that she and Akane swapped identities. In the end, the real Akane is dead and the real Kanami continues to live on as Akane. It's implied that the original Kanami who was blind was replaced by the current Kanami as the blindness magically fixed itself. The true identity of Kanami, and now Akane, is unknown, though it seems Shinya has always been her accomplice.!~
