Below is the list of characters in ''Chihayafuru'', a manga series by Yuki Suetsugu. ==Main Characters== ; :〔 :Birthday: June 1 :A determined high school girl who was inspired by Arata in elementary school to play karuta and to dream of becoming the "Queen" of karuta. She begins a ''karuta'' club at her high school with Taichi.〔 She is first introduced to competitive karuta by her childhood friend, Arata. Karuta has remained as Chihaya's passion despite being separated from Arata. She has an exceptional hearing ability that gives her an advantage in playing karuta. While she is beautiful, she is considered too weird, her classmates referring to her as a "beauty in vain". She is crazy about karuta (her friends calls her "karuta baka"), to the point that she can be oblivious to other people's feelings. Chihaya is the captain of Mizusawa Karuta Club. She works very hard at improving her karuta skills, and reaches Class A near the beginning of the series. She is a strong, passionate person who loves karuta and is dedicated to her teammates and friends. Chihaya shares a strong bond of trust and friendship with Taichi and appreciates his skill in leading the club, though oblivious towards his feelings for her. Chihaya cares deeply for Arata, despite their long-distance relationship. While on the telephone with Arata, she realizes that she will always love him and karuta. ; :,〔 Ayahi Takagaki (young) :Birthday: April 2 :A good-looking, all-rounded sportsman and Chihaya's childhood friend. His mother is very strict with him, telling him that he should stick to activities he can win at.〔 He seems to have feelings for Chihaya although he had a girlfriend at the beginning, and is jealous of her feelings for Arata. Taichi is the president of Mizusawa Karuta Club. He is a talented student and an athlete, at the beginning of the series he claims to have outgrown 'karuta', but then, after watching Chihaya excelling and obviously having fun, he decides to help her form a ''karuta'' club. He has good analytical skills and a good memory when playing karuta, but he has very bad luck. Due to this, he ends up staying in Class B longer than supposed to. He has been in love with Chihaya ever since childhood (and eventually realizes his feelings) but never confessed her. When Sumire tried to confess to Taichi, he tells her that he would rather have a relationship with the girl he loves than with a girl who loves him, indirectly indicating Chihaya. He cares for her very deeply, being there for her every time Chihaya gets upset or sad. He has serious character to make up for Chihaya's comical character. As a child, Taichi was a spoiled rich, child and disliked Arata, making fun of him for being poor, but as soon he, Chihaya, and Arata started to play Karuta together, they became best friends. In love, Taichi still views Arata as his enemy. ; :, Yuka Terasaki (young)〔 :Birthday: December 1 :Arata Wataya was a transfer student to Chihaya's elementary school, grandchild of an eternal master ''karuta'' player, Arata inspires Chihaya to take up ''karuta''.〔 He has difficulty fitting in at Chihaya's elementary school because of his Fukui dialect and passion for ''karuta'', but Chihaya befriends him. His dream is to become a ''karuta Meijin''. After graduating elementary school, he returns to Fukui to care for his grandfather.〔 After returning to Fukui, he quits ''karuta''〔 because his grandfather died while Arata was competing in a ''karuta'' tournament to rise to A-rank. However, after Chihaya and Taichi visit him in Fukui, he regains his resolve to play competitive karuta again. He has beaten "The Queen" Shinobu Wakamiya and is aiming to beat "Master" Hishashi Suo to claim the position of "Master". Arata cherishes his friendship with both Chihaya and Taichi, albeit romantically to Chihaya. Later in the manga, Arata confesses his love to Chihaya, also informing her of his move back to Tokyo. Arata then excuses himself, leaving Chihaya flustered and speechless. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Chihayafuru characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
