Karen Nishiyama, a third-year student on the kendo team, possesses exceptional skills in the sport but tends to become anxious when facing pressure. In such situations, her instinctual response is to switch to an offensive strategy, which enables her to defeat her opponents effectively. As a result of this trait, Karen is considered the strongest member of her kendo team. Although she excels at kendo, Karen is hesitant about engaging in combat with unfamiliar opponents and may attempt to evade such encounters when feeling nervous.
