Koyomi's Father, Asuha Hare Kanaka (Mother)
|
Koyomi Hare Nanaka (コヨミ·ハレ·ナナカ) is a resident of Seiren who suffers a paralyzing fear of men, in which her phobia is only made worse by being one of Kazuharu Fukuyama's favorite targets; in the manga, this results in her keeping a diary of the many times he's accosted her. Originally sent to Earth on a mission from the Space Travel Agency to 'retrieve' Miharu Sena Kanaka, she later moves into Yukinari Sasaki's house on a prolonged mission to find a husband for Maharu Sena Kanaka, Miharu's sister. Of course, her male phobia makes the act of even talking to a man nearly impossible. In the anime, Koyomi is also searching for her long-lost Father, a man who came from Earth, whom she later reunites with at the series' end.
Koyomi's favorite pastime is reading, and she has a natural talent for table tennis. In the anime she's even won the Seiren tournament five years in a row. Koyomi's mother possessed a Seikon mark like Miharu, and Koyomi herself possesses a dormant form of Seikon, which allowed her to create a portal to Seiren after Miharu was kidnapped in the anime. Koyomi in the anime also adopts a large python as a pet after being tricked into wearing it over herself during Fukuyama's Cosplay Mahjong game, which is ironic considering her fear of men and snakes being a Phallic Symbol.
