Kaede runs the local candy shop and is best known for her entrepreneurial spirit—she's also got a ski rental business on the side, mostly because she genuinely loves skiing and figured why not profit from it. She's 20 and a graduate of Asahigaoka Branch School, where she was an underclassman to Kazuho.
Fans often note her irritation at being called "Candy Store" by locals, a nickname that stuck despite her clear displeasure. She used to babysit Renge when Renge was younger and remains fiercely protective of her, which shows a softer side beneath her no-nonsense business attitude.
