Kanna (Japanese: 神奈 - Kanna) is a character in Air anime series.
The young girl known as Kanna is also known as Kannabi no Mikoto (since '-bi no mikoto' is the formal suffix given to all winged beings) is one of the last winged beings in history. Kanna was deified out of fear for the awesome power inherent in all of her kind, so from birth, Kanna has been kept in isolated areas away from the general populace. Not long after meeting Ryūya and Uraha she escapes with them in order to find her mother, the only other winged being left. While not knowing much about the outside world Kanna adamantly took up learning how to juggle in the hope that she would one day be able to show her mother upon their reunion. As she traveled with her guardians Kanna began to develop feelings for Ryūya, and when the party became surrounded by guards she took to the sky as a diversion after surrounding Ryūya and Uraha with a protective shield. While in the air Buddhist monks cast a spell that bound her into a cycle of eternal reincarnation and suffering that Ryūya fought to break until his death, leaving it up to his descendants to find a way to free Kanna, a cycle which culminated in his descendant, Yukito, and the girl, Misuzu.
In the second episode of Air: Summer Special, Kanna, by Uraha's instructions, lowers her kimono off her shoulders to her chest and, while not actually saying it, asks Ryūya to make love to her. But he declines and she dislikes that he became forceful with her after her request, which was really just Ryūya showing that he knew Uraha was hiding some where near them.
It becomes quite obvious that she has strong feelings for him, and wishes for him to feel the same, which he does.
