Kaho Hinoshita is a main character in Link! Like! Love Live!. She is a third-year student at Hasunosora Girls' High School, enrolled with the 103rd class. She is also a member of Cerise Bouquet, a unit under the Hasunosora Girls' High School Idol Club and currently serves as the club's co-president alongside Sayaka Murano. Her image color is sun yellow.
Background
Her family runs a flower farm in Nagano, and she has twin sisters who are years younger than her, named Futaba and Minori. Kaho was frequently ill as a child, leading her to have a more restrictive childhood. Although her health stabilized in grade school, Kaho's parents continued to be extremely overprotective of her, which frustrated Kaho to no end as they stopped her from hanging out with friends and doing fun activities, taking her to and from school each day with a strict curfew attached. Her admission to Hasunosora is the result of her negotiating with her parents for a long time to attain her freedom. Her mother also attended Hasunosora.
She had no prior musical expertise before entering the academy, instead qualifying through her entrance exam alone.
Personality
An energetic girl who has a smile on her face no matter what. She entered the academy with high expectations and the goal of “blossoming”, as her parents heavily restricted her freedom beforehand. Blossoming, according to her, is how others looked while freely enjoying their daily lives. She thought this way of living was beautiful, comparing it to flowers you can't look away from. She thinks that by attaining freedom, she can blossom too.
Kaho's greatest fear is being left alone, likely stemming from her lonely childhood. This loneliness combines with her eager attitude, making her a tad too friendly towards strangers (such as Sayaka), and she noted as a talkative person. Fortunately, this cheerful personality also allows her to make friends quite easily. She approached Sayaka Murano on the train just because of their shared uniform, despite never meeting her before, instantly sparking a conversation. Sayaka was uncomfortable at first, forced to listen to her eager ramblings, but the two were still able to become friends rather quickly.
She initially hated the academy upon realizing it's strict rules, including an exact curfew, discipline, and needing written permission to leave school grounds. This culminated in a plan to escape, but after the coaxing of Kozue Otomune, she realized school idols could help her enjoy it in her own way. She ended up wanting to make Hasunosora more fun for the students, despite not wanting to take part in the club originally. She is a kind-hearted, friendly, cheerful, passionate, welcoming, and supportive person who strives to make everything fun for everyone. She puts all her energy into what she enjoys, although can become somewhat impulsive and charge ahead in the wrong direction.
