She is a tiny girl, 145cm tall. She has a habit of walking in a way that makes you feel like you can hear the sound of her feet falling over, and sometimes she trips over due to not paying enough attention to danger. That's why she has been nicknamed "Potte." She wants to give shape to "happiness" through photography and connect the hearts of the people around her. She uses the same camera as her father, the Rollei 35S.

Because, just as the scent of summer lets you know that summer is coming, the scent also attaches to memories.

"Um... actually, I... I'm fine after all." After liking a photo of Kaede that was hanging in the Hinomaru Photo Studio, she became friends with Kaede. Her family runs an inn on Osaki Shimojima Island, and she lives almost alone in an apartment in Takehara. Even after returning to her family home, she is not very friendly with the customers. She is not good at talking, so she tries to express her feelings by whistling. She sometimes whistles impromptu to match her current delicate feelings and the scenery.

He is very considerate, and when Kaede's father passed away, he tried to cheer up the depressed Kaede.
