Appearance[]

Kanon Ozu Concept

Kanon's full body and facial expressions.

Kanon is a slim teenage girl with messy upper-back length blonde hair that has bangs swept to the left side and amber eyes.

She wears a white blouse, a blue ribbon bow tie, and a orange cardigan. She also wears a blue skirt with brown high heel boots. During the winter, she would wear a brown coat, dark red mittens and a red plaid scarf.

Personality[]

One day, we're going to just up and die! One day, out of nowhere...we'll lose all our warmth.
It could be tomorrow...It could be tonight! Who the hell knows how long we have?!

Kanon's smirk

Kanon's personality is a bit of a paradox, really. She harbors a well-polished dislike of humanity that teeters on the brink of mistrust. Whilst the more subdued, of the two Ozu sisters, below that seemingly calm facade lies a psychotic young woman, prone to fits of insane laughter that once provoked, possesses little regard for human life, often displaying a wicked, vile grin - something that's shared between her and her sibling. She has little time for failure - should she not complete a task, she becomes akin to a wolf and it's prey, hunting down her target without relent until the deed is done.

But alas, Kanon isn't completely 'broken', so to speak. Despite her actions, she genuinely cares for her twin sister, Shion Ozu, and will destroy anyone who would try to harm her in any way. This mainly stems from the horrific experiments carried out on her sister whilst at the academy. It is that perception of how heartless humans are that fuels the good majority of Kanon's hatred and cold persona. Her hatred from humanity has quelled in recent times though - of course, she still despises them for their shortcomings; though on rare occasions, she displays a touch of mercy towards them, however subtle it may be. Her respect for following JGSDF orders is simply non-existent, which results in her carrying out a mission her own way - most often rather violently, unless the likes of Ibara Naruse are there to coax her first - even then, the violent approach often prevails.

It should go without saying that Kanon has a great fear of water, given her electrical powers. If a body of liquid is nearby, she can often become virtually paralyzed on the spot - not willing to risk the chance of harming herself. Arguably, one of her other greatest weaknesses is her fear of death. While she possesses no qualms about ending a human life herself, Kanon lives in a state of constant fear of dying. Coppelion do not age like normal humans - sure, while they are undeniably hard to kill, their natural death can happen at any given time: being completely spontaneous. As such, she harbors a grudge against humans that borders envy for their mortality.

Aside from this, Kanon is highly intelligent, despite having not paid any attention in the slightest to her classes whilst training. Her main areas of interest include Nuclear Reactions, computer technology and just about anything science-related. Naturally, she is quite headstrong and stubborn - which often leads to a clash of opinion with others, most notably Naruse.

History[]

Kanon is the elder of the two Ozu sisters - Shion's twin sibling. Just like the other Coppelion, the twins were given life by fusing various, beneficial traits of DNA. The source of Kanon's DNA, as well as Shions, stem from a famous actress known as Kuon Ozu - who just so happened to be a closet serial killer behind her career. Kanon's electrical abilities are a result from being fused with the DNA sequences of an electric eel.

Considering that Kanon was well aware of how Shion was repeatedly experimented and tortured by the scientists that partook in the creation of the Coppelion, she frequently thinks and states that her kind were not made for the sole purpose of saving people in Tokyo. In addition, she harbors a well-polished hatred of humanity, bearing notable contempt towards the Three Professors because of this.

Abilities and Powers[]

Kanon can generate electricity which was a result from from having an electric eel gene inserted into her own.

Kanon's reaction when seeing water

Her weak point is water fearing that she may electrify her-self. This is proven in the anime (Episode 10) when Shion Ozu is chasing Aoi Fukasaku with a swan boat on the water, Kanon's usual sadistic personality fades away when seeing the water and says that Shion can beat Aoi herself and that she does not need any help. Because of her fear towards water, she was the only one that geared up in a Dry Diving Suit when they were heading to the water system to fix it under the Shibuya 109 Shelter. She often mutter that she wants to go back after seeing the water, and she thought she's done for after diving for a couple of minutes and reaching on the other side.

Because electricity runs through her body, Kanon does not feel or perceive pain as she stated that she feels numb all over her body.

She cannot repeatedly use her electricity powers as it injures her internally if it is overused.

Her body glows by itself in the darkness due to the electricity that runs in her body (like when they are underground at the Shinto Bank in Shinjuku).

Electrical Discharge[]

Kanon also has an Electrical Discharge ability - just like an eel or a shark, she can sense ions from a living being within a radius of one kilometer. She can also distinguish whether the living being she could sense is a human, a Coppelion, or something else (e.g. Chimera, Ingmar). She once used it to track Ibara Naruse's team and she is proven to be effective when they eventually found them.

Electromagnetic Field[]

When applying her electric powers to a steel object (e.g. Shion Ozu's Katana in Chapter 120), it will create an electromagnetic field. Kanon knew that an electromagnetic field could control plasma so she used this method to make Shion's Katana deflect back Mana Tsuburaya's attack (since she is releasing high energy plasma around her).

Weapons

M79 Grenade Launcher[]

Kanon and her M79 Grenade Launcher

While not using her electricity powers, Kanon's common weapon of choice is a gun that looks like a M79 grenade launcher as her main firearm throughout the story. It seems to be her favorite weapon since she is constantly using it while the others (aside Ibara Naruse) change their weapons frequently, she is good at handling it, never missing her target with her weapon of choice. She can even wield it with one hand.

Revolvers[]

Kanon wields dual revolvers during the Roppongi Hills infiltration and she also uses what seems to be a silver Old West Revolver early in the story, which is the same type as Shion Ozu's revolvers. 

Relationships[]

Shion Ozu[]

As Kanon's twin sister, they care and protect each other, standing up for one another. They are able to understand each other's minds just by looking at each other. At their first encounter with Ibara Naruse in Tokyo, Kanon used Shion as a human shield. But it makes her feel angry at the people who attacked her.

Ibara Naruse[]

Kanon and Shion Ozu hate Ibara for scolding them everytime they do something wrong. They also hate her for annoying them and teaming up with humans. But after their long fight is over, they become friends.

Haruto Kurosawa[]

Kanon and Shion Ozu also hate him for teaming up with Ibara Naruse's team, even displeased when he protected them. Even though, Kanon still has some respect for Haruto, because she thinks that Haruto is not all human like Ibara.

Aoi Fukasaku[]

At school, Kanon and Shion Ozu often bullied Aoi by taking Aoi's lunch. Shion will hold Aoi at bay while Kanon grabs her lunch and told her to run around naked if she wants to get her lunch back.

Taeko Nomura[]

Mana Tsuburaya[]

Meisa Ichikawa[]

Kanon and her sister also bullied Meisa though not as much as Aoi, they would force Meisa to buy them lunch, they also pushed Meisa around and laughed at her. But now the sisters are having a hard time bullying Meisa, Meisa started using her powers against them, but the sisters still try hard even though Meisa overpowers them.
