Character Outline
Katsuhira's childhood friend who always cares about him. In a good meaning, she is a caring person, but in a bad meaning, she is officious at the start.

Appearance
Chidori is a girl of average height and appearance with a thin figure and smaller breasts. She has crimson hair to match her eyes and her hair is usually put up into a ponytail with a yellow scrunchie, and pinned back on the right side of her face using a small yellow hair clip.

Personality
Chidori was first portrayed as clumsy, emotional, and seemingly nosy at times. She seems to sincerely care about all of the other Kiznaivers, especially Katsuhira Agata (Chidori's childhood friend) and tries to cheer them up when they're upset. She got embarrassed rather easily, and had been told by Tsuguhito Yuta that she was "too heavy" when it comes to her emotions. If too embarrassed or irritated, she would hit the person who caused those feelings.

Chidori was called "Two-Goody Shoes" by Noriko Sonozaki. She has a tendency to take care of others, as seen when she cooks meals for Katsuhira and Hajime Tenga, and also when she tries to solve Katushira's problems for him by talking to the teachers about his being bullied and demanding that the bullies return his money. She is very defensive of her friends, especially Katsuhira because she knows he won't defend himself out of apathy.

Chidori fell in love with Katsuhira during their childhood and very much wished for him to return to his original kind and funny personality. She was very upset when she realized that he would not return her feelings, but also understood that she could not make him do so and that continuing to try would be selfish of her.

In the end of the anime, it looks like she might end up having feelings for Tenga in the future.

Katsuhira Agata
Katsuhira is Chidori's best friend, having known her since pre-school. Chidori developed an affection for Katsuhira before his absence of pain, although she still did as she spent more and more time with him.Despite this, her love remained unrequited from the start as she encountered Sonozaki, and she initially grew jealous of her interactions with Katsuhira.

Hajime Tenga
Tenga and Chidori are classmates.Initially, they re hardly familiar with each other. Tenga was regarded as shallow by Chidori at first when he mentions that her breasts are small. He and Chidori share a bit more time together after Katsuhira moves in with him, and she sees more of his personality. Although she appears to be annoyed by the living arrangement, she believes that Katsuhira is happy to live with him. Even before she and Tenga become particularly close, she cared for him; for instance, when she prepares a meal for him (much to his surprise) and when she brings him bandage to cover his Kizuna scar.

Tenga is the only character besides Katsuhira who truly interacts with Tenga, and is proud to be a "wingman" to her. Over time, though, he becomes enraged that Chidori chooses Katsuhira over him. Tenga's true feelings for Chidori blindsided Chidori when she heard them in his thoughts, Chidori having been oblivious to them until that point, because he took out all his anger on Katsuhira in front of everyone.

Tenga asks Chidori to reject him outright for herself to feel better, but she is unsure and upset. She says she can’t possibly feel better if she puts rejection in his face and that she cant understand Tenga's thought at all because she didn't want to think about Katsuhira rejecting her in the same way and how much it would hurt.

Yet, in the end, she gives Tenga a lot of thought and comes to love him, despite her initial feelings for Katsuhira.

Tsuguhito Yuta
During the introduction of the Kizna experiments, Chidori spent most of her time by Tenga, Nico, and Yuta. Telling him that he had a great smile despite his weight gain back in his junior high years. She also states that she may like him better that way, and defends him when Tenga was laughing.

Nico Niiyama
Chidori is shown to get along with Nico.

Noriko Sonozaki
Noriko was the object of Chidori's early jealousy, when Katsuhira and Noriko were in a seemingly new relationship, though she adamantly denied this mostly until Tenga offered to help her out. With dismay, she observed Katsuhira's attempts to get close to Noriko and how much he seemed to think about or mention her, which, at first, only stoked her jealousy and anger. However, as soon as the Post-Kizna System is launched, Chidori's jealousy is soon overthrown.
