Plot
Kamiyama High School Festival
Kaho first appears as one of the many exhibitors in the Kamiyama High School Festival, where she offers fortune readings from inside a small teepee-like tent. As Eru Chitanda roams around the school to look for ways to advertise the Classics Club's Hyouka anthologies, she meets her and Kaho offers a free reading. Here, Kaho tells Eru that she can't do tarot card readings because one particular card, The Wheel of Fortune, has been missing, and a note was found nearby, as well as a pamphlet for the school festival. Kaho quickly denies any connections to the "Jumonji" who had written the note. Eru's encounter with Kaho would soon put the Jumonji Incident into the spotlight as more missing items were reported that day.
Arekusu Shrine
In later events, Kaho also appears as a shrine maiden for the Arekusu Shrine, which is run by the Jumonji family. During New Year's Day, she welcomes Houtarou and Eru inside the shrine complex, with Eru personally delivering a bottle of sake as a gift from the Chitanda family to the Jumonji family, which are close friends.
Relationships
Eru Chitanda
She seems to be on good terms with Eru. Eru asks how Kaho's father is doing, which shows that their families may know each other.
Satoshi Fukube
Satoshi is her classmate in Class 1-D. She calls him Fukube-kun.
Trivia
- In the Hyouka Drama CD, Kaho shows signs of having chuunibyou when she fought Eru in a mock battle.
