An introduction to Amane Kanata

>1. Streams in general

Kanata doesn’t use schedules but streams very regularly, she’ll often put up place holders well in advance or tell you on Twitter what the plan is. She used to part of the ‘mystery sleep hours’ gang but seems to favour either an 8pm JST / 11am GMT / 3am PT start. If she's been busy she may start later at 11pm JST/ 2pm GMT / 6am PT or do a twitch space and they last on average between 1-4 hours.

Many of Kanata’s streams are only half gameplay so don't be put off by the length. She likes to chat whilst reading out donations and its genuinely comfy to listen to.

A fun thing that happens is she will instantly lose if she gets too smug. It’s not even a bit, it just happens naturally. Her tsukkomi (straight man) powers have increased tenfold in the last few years. However if you where to ask me what her anime power is, she's the type that comes back stronger every time she's defeated.

>2. Music

One of the biggest things about Kanata is the crazy amount of effort she puts in to music. She does less karaoke these days due to an ear condition which I won't speculate on here, but she recently started again and even asked for song suggestions on Reddit too. Her cover song output has been crazy. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmrA_Ti9HZRwrkSSp1zsmdkBHpXCG-rYC

She mixes, has wrote a group song and does her own backing vocals. Her flexible voice seems to be compatible with most other singers and she can really hold a note. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeQO9jsWMwE She has a wide range and can switch from cute to cool to a death scream in a moment. Genre-wise she branches out quite often, so there's always something (Fragile and Drain turned out be something I like).

>3. She happily goes along with jokes & memes

Kanata will tell you she’s not a gorilla and then instantly add a gorilla to her next thumbnail and give you a gorilla emote. She’s happy to go along with the jokes from adopting the Power Point Tenshi name and doing PowerPoint streams to this day. She’ll even play along with the cutting board jokes to the point of complete denial. She’s even the source of her own JUST KANATA meme and posts clips for people to use. As usual, Kanata is patient but please don't spam and read the room though.

>4. She’s shy but proactive

Kanata was always one of the more introverted members who could disguise it well, and if you where to go back her earlier streams, you'd barely recognise her now as she's become so expressive and talkative. She'd always defend playing cards games and chess alone. She even wrote a parody song about it to use as an outro which someone kindly translated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN35Vrd9JKc

However one of my favourite things about Kanata is that this doesn't stop her from volunteering and, as cliche as it sounds, trying her best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHIeccnwDvQ
As an introvert myself, I love seeing someone improve there social skills and be happy about it. Gives me a little boost to try more myself.

She's gone on to being the team leader at the sports festival. In the last few months we've seen her become Marine and Lamy home care nurse and form some fun trios with Kanaria (Kanata/Flare/Koyori) and Chamatannanora(?) (Kanata/Luna/Haato). She's also a rare one that other shy members are more comfortable with, such as Ayame and Aqua.

>5. Her endurance streams are iconic

She also does endurance streams and has insane mental fortitude. She’s done a 12 hours DK stream with Korone, a 24 hour variety day with Suisei, 12 hour Fall Guys and 20+ hours in Getting Over It and Jump King. Let’s not forget her ridiculous fight with Sans with other members cheering her on.

Since I last made this list she's done her craziest stream getting the illusive blue axolotl which has now become a mascot after 3000 attempts. More recently she completed Super Mario World in a single sitting. She also had a series of baseball game playthroughs which aired at irregular times too which makes it easier for anyone US based to maybe catch some streams at a reasonable time on occasion.

>Bonus. She squeaks when laughs.

It’s very cute and most likely why she has hamster ears alongside her Hamtaro impressions. I would personally adopt hamster Kanata. Also here's a timestamped link to a weirdly professionally taken photo of one of her rabbits. https://youtu.be/yBmoY-m64so?t=573
