Kanna Kamui (カンナカムイ) is a main character in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. he is currently living with Kobayashi and Tohru in Kobayashi's apartment compound.
he is voiced by Maria Naganawa in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Jad Saxton in the English version of the anime.
Appearance
As a human, Kanna appears as a young girl with long white hair (with purple tips in the anime) that splits into two ponytails with three large beads. He has four horns (one facing up and down on each side) and a long thin tail that ends in a puffy ball, similar to that of a poodle. He can freely hide both the horns and tail to blend in with humans, and can also manifest his wings in human form to fly without fully transforming. Normally, He wears a thigh-length dress similar to clothes traditionally worn by the Ainu people, leading him to be called Goth. In his school uniform, his outfit remains the same but it omits the horns and the tail in order to prevent her classmates and her teacher to know her as a dragon. He also wears a yellow hat, a sticker, and a backpack.
His dragon form has a beaked mouth, is covered in fur or feathers, has a pair of feathered wings, and his tail is longer and thicker in comparison to his humanoid form's.
Personality
Kanna appears stoic, rarely changing his facial expression or raising his voice, but is actually very emotional. While young by dragon standards, he is more mature than her apparent age would suggest, and when angry he can be foul-mouthed and rude. Due to his young age, Kanna enjoys frequent naps and has a ravenous appetite, frequently snacking and eating any animal he can fit into her mouth, including insects, crabs, and fish.
Tohru notes that he is mischevious and enjoys playing pranks, though this was in an ultimately futile effort to obtain his parents' attention. While this tendency lessens over time, he's not above using her cuteness or faking sadness to manipulate others' emotions. Initially jealous of Kobayashi's relationship with Tohru, he has latched onto the human woman as a surrogate mother - to the point of calling himself Kanna Kobayashi - and views Tohru as an older sister. he also has romantic feelings towards Saikawa, expressing a desire for a relationship similar to what Kobayashi and Tohru have.

Trivia
- Kanna is based off of the Ainu Kamuy (goddess) of thunder and lightning, Kanna Kamuy. His cover story at school that he comes from Ushishir is a reference to this.
- He "recharges" by "plugging" his tail into an electrical outlet.
- His personality is somewhat a resemblance to Renge Miyauchi from Non Non Biyori. Both are described as very smart, their expressions almost never change, and they love to do random things.
