Personality
Though sleepy and lazy at most times, Kanata is the team's tsukkomi, dealing with their antics mainly Karin's flirting habits, which lead them to their constant rivalry with each other and is very doting towards her younger sister Haruka, much to the latter's annoyance. She also has a deadpan sense of humor.

Background
Kanata's father was the leader of the Poison Nijis of Nijitopia. When the Darktopian Buccaneers invaded the magical world, Kanata's mother escaped into the human world while her father stayed to fight against the space and eventually gets killed. Kanata's younger sister Haruka was born three years later.

Not much is known about Kanata's past except at some point she got lazy and started to sleep a lot. During her first-year at Nijigasaki Girls High School, Kanata developed a rivalry with Karin due to the latter's popularity and she then saved Karin from being kidnapped by a mugger but almost got herself killed. She was then given the Poison Niji Diamond after her mother told of her Nijitopian heritage but doesn't tell Haruka about this.

Kanata is the eighth to become a Nijiman. She first appears in Chapter 5, where she gets scolded by Haruka for sleeping in. Kanata assures her that she will change but her younger sister has her doubts. She then tells Haruka about her Nijitopian heritage, causing her Poison Niji Diamond to transform her into Violet Witch and then summons Niji Poison Serpent to form the Mahou Gattai Niji Knight: Poison-Forest to defeat Pirate Lazy.

In Chapter 7, Kanata switches her mind with Karin's body. She suddenly becomes protective of Karin's body because it reminded her of the time when she saved her life two years ago and the two worked together to defeat Pirate Swapper. After getting back into her original body, Kanata gets offended by Karin calling her flat and chases her, thus continuing her rivalry.

She and Emma have feelings for each other. When Emma gets turned into stone by Pirate Rock in Chapter 17, Kanata decides to fight Pirate Rock herself but almost got killed. After saving Emma, Kanata confesses to Emma that she loves her and the two were about to kiss until Karin interrupted

In Chapter 26, Violet Witch becomes Ancient Violet Witch alongside her teammates.

In the final battle, Kanata is the fifth to get killed while saving Emma. While in purgatory, Kanata fights against Pirate Lazy once more before returning back to the real world to aid Ayumu in defeating Dark Warlock Captain Erebus. After the battle, Kanata goes to Tokyo University but promises Haruka she will see her everyday and promises Emma to see her when she can.
