Kanan Matsuura is one of the nine main characters of Love Live! Sunshine!!. She is a third-year in Uranohoshi Girls' High School. She is a member of AZALEA, a sub-unit under Aqours.

Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool demeanor, even when at an impass. She loves nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. Kanan deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.
