Appearance

Personality
Koharu is a very cheerful and amicable individual, with a whimsical and relaxed nature. Like Hibiki and Ayaka, she is a hardcore fan of action films, in particular yakuza films.

Plot
While doing a personal trainer seminar with Machio, Koharu ended up meeting Hibiki and Akemi after the two burst in. She met with the rest of the girls during her brief stay in Tokyo. After the seminar week had ended, she thanked the girls for treating her nicely during her stay and prepared to travel back to Kyoto, but not without revealing her love of action movies. With that, Machio took her to the train station.

While the girls were in Kyoto for their school outing, Ayaka and Gina had a sparring match with her, Koharu nonchalantly defeating them both. Afterwards, they held a second match.

Koharu was noted to have a large track record as a kind of super-athlete for various sports. She has also proven to be a very proficient hand-to-hand combatant, able to effortlessly subdue Ayaka and Gina simultaneously with only one blow each while sparring the two; in particular, she disabled Ayaka with a single kick and held Gina aloft with a single arm before slamming her down. She able to tear a metal pickle jar lid with one hand.
