Kanata Higa is one of the main characters in Harukana Receive. 

Upon her debut, Kanata was initially somewhat withdrawn. This came from being relatively short compared to the other characters, which gave her a disadvantage at beach volleyball.

The story takes place in Okinawa, where Haruka forms a beach volleyball pair with Kanata. Kanata, who couldn't handle the pressure put on her by her short height, had given up on beach volleyball already, but is convinced by Haruka to step back on the sand once again and aim for the junior tournament.
