Tamaki Kawazoe is a first year high school student who is nicknamed &quot;Tama-chan&quot; for short. Despite being a kendo prodigy, she does not see it as a hobby, but rather just as a household chore honed at her home, which happens to be a kendo dojo led by her father. She refuses to join the school&#039;s Kendo Club because she thinks it is unnecessary, but temporarily becomes a member in order to fight off a bully. She despises injustice due to her overdeveloped sense of righteousness and fair play inspired from watching tokusatsu (Blade Braver) as a child. She remains a big anime and tokusatsu fan despite her age. At first she is very shy and unsociable, but after holding a part-time job at Miyako&#039;s acquaintance&#039;s store she begins to overcome her shyness and open up to her teammates more often. Kirino and Sayako (and for that matter, most girls in the story) find her very cute, often putting Tamaki&#039;s hair up in ponytails or making her fight in kendo matches just because they want to see her fight. She knows Yūji before the series&#039;s beginning, and has been called &quot;Tama-chan&quot; by him since their childhood (although she does not like the nickname very much, since it makes her seem childish). She is described as being the strength of the group by Kojirō. Tamaki lost for the very first time in the Kanto High School Kendo Tournament to Rin, Tamaki&#039;s arch-rival stemming from the Blade Braver series. Her lost was partly due to the fact that Rin used a stance which reminded her of her late mother causing her to lose focus and concentration temporarily.    She plays the position of General (taisho) in the competition.    source: wikipedia

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?

A Japanese voice actor. She's also a certified junior and senior high school teacher.

Hirohashi was born in Niigata Prefecture, and her family's home was a Buddhist temple. Because of this, she attended Ryukoku University in Kyoto, a Buddhist university. In the middle of her first year, however, her parents told her that she could do what she liked, even if it wasn't related to Buddhism, so she sought out what she wanted to do. During her second year, she remembered a radio show she used to listen to in middle school and became interested in voice acting, so she started going to the Aoni Coaching School Osaka while attending university at the same time. The radio personality she had listened to in junior high school was a voice actor, which inspired her to become a voice actor herself.
