Kirino Chiba is a second year high school student, and the captain of the kendo club. Energetic and enthusiastic, she dreams of leading the team to the nationals. Her family owns a deli named &quot;Chiba Deli&quot;. Kirino is very happy that Kojirō has finally begun to put more effort into training his kendo team, but she is oblivious to the real reason why her teacher has suddenly begun to train the team so enthusiastically. She is proud that she is the captain of the kendo club and is more responsible than she appears (i.e., picking up the shinai when the other members leave them lying around on the floor, chiding the other members for not picking up after themselves, etc.). Kirino seems to find Tamaki quite adorable, as she and Sayako will often treat Tamaki as a &quot;little sister&quot; type (i.e., playing with Tamaki&#039;s hair, not listening to her kendo lectures, making Tamaki fight merely because she wants to see her fight, etc.). Despite that, however, she has great confidence in Tamaki. She is described as being the heart of the group by Kojirō.    She plays the position of Second-in-Command (fukusho) in the competition.

Kojirou is the kendo instructor for Muroe High School and he's totally broke. But then an unexpected chance is given to him: his team must win against his senpai's team and the prize is: free meals for a whole year! Now, the only problem left... where to find girls skilled enough and willing to join the kendo team?

Kojiro is an impoverished young teacher and the supervisor of his high school&rsquo;s kendo club. He doesn&rsquo;t have the leeway to spend time on his students&ndash;he can barely feed himself as it is. So when an old friend makes him a bet with an entire year&rsquo;s worth of deluxe sushi on the line, Kojiro finds a new purpose in life: to beat his friend&rsquo;s kendo team! But before he can arrange a kendo meet for both schools&rsquo; kendo teams, he needs to actually put together a five-woman squad&ndash;and the first girl he needs is Tamaki Kawazoe, kendo athlete extraordinaire and daughter of an elite kendo dojo master. The problem is, she isn&rsquo;t really interested in doing kendo for fun. What can Kojiro do to convince her to join the team?
