Chizuru Ichinose

About Ichinose, Chizuru

Gender: Female Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Brown Occupation: College Student, Rental Girlfriend (part-time), Leading Actress Affiliation: Nerima University, Diamond Favorite Color: Red Chizuru Ichinose—or Chizuru Mizuhara when she's working as a rental girlfriend—is the main female protagonist of Kanojo, Okarishimasu. She's a Literature major at Nerima University and works part-time through the rental girlfriend app Diamond, where she's colleagues with Ruka Sarashina and Sumi Sakurasawa. She used to live in Room 204 of Royal Hills Nerima, right next to Kazuya Kinoshita, until the building fell and she moved back home. She's got waist-length chestnut-brown hair with a small braid tied into a ponytail in back, and light brown eyes. Fans often note she's strikingly beautiful—the kind of person who turns heads—with an athletic build and a real eye for fashion that she apparently picked up from her mom. When she's at school though, she completely transforms: glasses, butterfly clips, double braids, and deliberately plain clothes designed to make her blend in. Turns out she actually does need the glasses—she wears contacts when she's out as her rental girlfriend self. On the surface, Chizuru's the picture of kindness and consideration, which is exactly why her clients love her and give her high ratings. But there's more to her than that. She's proud of her reputation and can get sharp-tongued or irritable when things threaten it—especially around people like Kazuya, who she's not exactly fond of at first. The real deal is that she's built massive emotional walls around herself. Even with friends, she keeps her personal life locked down tight, maintaining this professional distance from pretty much everyone. What becomes clear as the story goes on is that underneath all that pragmatism and her carefully managed image, she's genuinely kind. She bends her own rules to help Kazuya out, even when it risks her job, and she goes out of her way to mentor Sumi and help her improve at the rental girlfriend gig. She's what you'd call an "iron lady"—but one with a real heart buried underneath.
