Kanna Kamui is a character from Cool-kyou Shinja's manga Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. Named after the god of thunder and lightning in Ainu mythology, Kanna is an electric dragon who followed Tohru to the human world, where she finds her under the care of the Kobayashi-san household. She assumes that Kobayashi seduced Tohru, but after the misunderstanding was resolved, she joins Kobayashi's adoptive family. Kanna is young by dragon standards, which is reflected in her human appearance and behavior as an elementary school child.
The loli dragon gained significant popularity in the anime fandom because of her extremely cute, child-like traits, which is enhanced by Kyoto Animation's TV adaptation. She also gained a memetic reputation online as a character that must not be lewded. However, the series itself shows otherwise, since Kanna is featured in sexually suggestive scenes and jokes, like showing emphasis on her thighs, and having a girl whose main gimmick is being obsessively in love with her.
Nevertheless, Kanna has cemented her place as Dragon Maid's most popular character, even more than the titular characters themselves. She is notable for having a colorful history in several saimoe tournaments in East Asia; for instance, she was one of the competitors involved in Bilibili Moe 2017's 8/17 incident, which sparked a site-wide inter-fandom war that lasted until the tournament's end. Kanna also emerged as one of the top tiara contenders in ISML 2018, where she ultimately placed 2nd behind Rem, and became the first girl to lose in the final match twice in the Korean Aniplus saimoe.

As a young dragon, Kanna Kamui’s curiosity knows no boundaries, and the human realm provides enough abnormalities for her to question the daily lives and actions of such interesting creatures. However, even watching from afar becomes a chore for her, so she decides to live the life of an elementary school student. She may be older and more knowledgeable than the rest of her classmates, which may include her teacher, but such differences do not mean much to her. Despite her age and race, Kamui is still a child at heart. She will cause a fuss if things do not go her way, get angry about the smallest of things, and may selfishly ask for things outside of her control. But when she sees how hard others around her a working just to match her request, Kamui remembers to politely thank them for the hard work they have done just to put up with her. And if they did not mind, it makes her all the more satisfied. Kamui is ready for another day of adventure. Beware the cuteness that is Kanna Kamui! | |||||||||||||||||||
