Kanade Tachibana is the titular character of Key's anime series Angel Beats!

The Angel is one of the most successful girls ever to grace the International Saimoe League, having won the joint-most number of necklaces in just 4 years with seven gems, tied with Shana and Mashiro Shiina. She was the most dominant performing girl in the Nova / Stella era, securing three out of four possible Circlets by winning their respective brackets (Nova 2012, Stella 2013-2014.), and has never placed below third in all of her ISML appearances. The Angel is also responsible for completing ISML's first-ever perfect season in 2012, winning all of her matches in that year without a single draw or defeat.

Kanade's biggest rival is Ruri Gokou, another character voiced by her voice actress Kana Hanazawa. The pair have a history of meeting in the playoff stages every year, with Tenshi winning all but one match against Kuroneko. Kanade also holds a rivalry with fellow ISML powerhouse Mikoto Misaka, although they only met once in the postseason, which Kanade won in the 2013 Tiara semi-final.

Kanade holds a moderate presence in the contests of r/anime. Her Best Girl Contest performance is a hit-or-miss; while she managed to get into the Round of 32 two times (in 2014 and 2017), in recent years she has struggled to maintain her waning power in the tournament brackets due to becoming overshadowed by characters from popular and relatively recent shows.

Elsewhere, she finished as a runner-up on her first year in the defunct Korea Best Moe tournament, and enjoyed a relatively strong presence in China's Bilibili Moe, which she reached the quarterfinals in the inaugural tournament off of an appearance in the Angel Beats! OVA series.
