Koharu Shinkawa

Koharu Shinkawa (新川小春 Shinkawa Koharu) is a second-year upperclassman who likes Taichi Kawasumi and she considers Suiren Shibazeki her "rival".

Koharu is voiced by Ami Koshimizu.

Appearance
Koharu has short reddish-pink hair with bangs hanging over her forehead and light blue eyes. She is said to be a cute girl, but she herself admits that she is not as cute as Suiren Shibazeki.

Personality
Koharu is a very energetic and straightforward girl who can be a bit childish and arrogant, such as when she confessed to Taichi Kawasumi, she first arrogantly asked, "Do you want to date me or not?" but when he rejected and attempted to run away, she became desperate and started yelling out. "Please date me!"

Despite her carefree attitude, she can be very determined and serious, mostly when it comes to Kawasumi, or anything else she greatly cares about.
