She is your typical school idol which everyone admires. She met Shizuku in elementary school by being the only person that would talk to her, which gradually led to the two of them becoming best friends.

She admired Hajime as he is strong willed after witnessing an incident in middle school where he stand up to a group of delinquents that were harassing a child and his grandmother. She wanted to get to know him after the incident and would spend the next year waiting outside the school Hajime attending in the hopes that he would be able to meet him. Unfortunately, Hajime was always gone by the time Kaori arrived at his school.

During her first year of high school, Kaori discovered that Hajime would be in her class after she sees him sleeping during their orientation. She would constantly talk with him in order to get to know better. During one occasion during her attempts to better understand Hajime's interests, when she was exploring Akihabara with Shizuku, she asked a store clerk to buy an a certain adult game because the regular version was sold out. In an attempt to obtain, Kaori claimed that she was planning to buy it for her father (much to the shock over everyone in the store).

She didn't realize she was in love with Hajime until Hajime fell into the abyss.

After that incident she believed that Hajime is still alive and trained herself to be stronger.

Along their journey, they were cornered by a woman of the demon race then saw Hajime who saved them but as a completely changed person. After the battle, Yue noticed Kaori's stare and closes then told her: "Is that the extent of your feelings?". Later after some time during their talk she then saw Hajime get mad at some rogue mercenaries when they disrespected Shea by calling her a sex slave, which lead to Hajime beating them up. She then realized that he was still the same person she love, Hajime, so she confessed to him and told him that she wanted to follow him and declaring at the same time that she wont yield to Yue.

She died from the attacks of the demon race by Hiyama's hands later on, but she was resurrected and insisted to be transferred into a strong body by Hajime; then she was transferred to Noint's body through Hajime suggestion.
