Chikama Yashiro

Yashiro Chikama (知我麻 社 Chikama Yashiro) is a friend of Hino Akira, who met while they were fishing.

Appearance
Chikama wears a full body spacesuit. It has childish design elements, such as hearts and star patches.

Human
About up to the third episode in the anime, we see Chikama's human form. In her human form, she has light blue hair, fair skin and a white dress on. She is surrounding by light covering her whole body.

Personality
Yashiro likes sweets as much as she is searching for her brethren that she can smell sweets at long distances (this was shown in her first Fireworks festival) and even when there's an obstruction (shown when she immediately noticed the sweet smell on Shimamura's hand despite wearing a helmet). She is admired by both Shimamura and her little sister. Shimamura stated that she admires Yashiro for her kindness without malice while also admiring her eyes that is so beautiful it resembles space itself. Despite being bubbly and weird, she can give good advice when it counts. Shimamura's mother also finds her in Yashiro as the way she and Shimamura runs are the same when she still was a little kid.
