Hanamaru Kunikida's place in Aqours

Gentle, thoughtful, and fascinated by modern technology, Hanamaru often speaks in a regional dialect and ends sentences with "zura." She underestimates her own suitability as an idol.

Books, temple life, and friendship with Ruby and Yoshiko

Hanamaru contributes vocals, literary creativity, and a calm presence within Aqours. Her childhood friendship with Ruby and friendly teasing of Yoshiko Tsushima balance tradition and eccentricity, while performing helps her move from observer to confident participant.
