Kirame Hanada
School: Shindouji Girls' High School (Fukuoka Prefecture), 2nd year
Former School: Takatoobara Middle School (Nagano Prefecture)
Kirame shows up as a supporting character in the Saki spin-off manga "Achiga-hen episode of side-A." She's best known for her relentlessly upbeat personality—the kind of player who stays cheerful and unflinching even when everything's stacked against her. During matches, she's got this habit of throwing around the word "wonderful," which fans often associate with her matches against stronger opponents like Teru Miyanaga.
She crossed paths with Nodoka Haramura back at Takatoobara Middle School, where she was wrapping up her third year as part of the same mahjong club. Yuuki was there too. While Nodoka was the newcomer to the club scene, Kirame had already been part of that group, and the two ended up competing together before heading off to their respective high schools.
