Kanade Minamino

南野奏

Female

She is a second-year student at Private Aria Academy and is in the same class as [Hibiki](https://anilist.co/character/38564/Houjou-Hibiki). Kanade's alter ego is Cure Rhythm. Kanade excels at studies but isn't good at sports. She is popular at school and dreams of being a pâtissière when she grows up and taking over her parents' cupcake shop, the Lucky Spoon. She also has a strong love for cats and an affinity for their paws. In comparison to Hibiki, Kanade is shown to be mature and calm. She is naturally quiet, but not out of shyness; showing a temperamental side when flustered or annoyed. She is also very stubborn and struggles to admit to being wrong or at fault, and due to feelings of inadequacy, she can become competitive and set on difficult short-term goals.
