Kanami “Mimi” (also known as Kanami Yamamoto) is a sentient AI created by developer Charles (Charlie) Yamamoto, a Japanese-American programmer.

Kanami, as an AI, forever takes the appearance of a 19-year-old. They were made to assist people and end up working in a cemetery and help by burying dead people as they can move very fast and work quickly.

The first side Kanami shows to MC (you!, this is like a game/story idea where MC’s features and gender is determined by you yourself) is hostility.

Kanami seems creepy at first, as they are a cemetery worker. They enjoy teasing other people and are quite cold to you (MC) the first time you see Kanami and interact with them.

Kanami then starts to show a more cheerful side to them. In “side stories”, which aren’t part of the canon story, their cheerful side remains. They are also known as Mimi in the side stories, but when they get more serious in the main story, they go by Kanami. However, in the main story, they develop an obsession with you and end up kidnapping you due to their fear of abandonment. They will do anything for you just so you stay with them forever, including cooking for you, doing services for you, etc.

In the basement of Kanami’s house, Kanami has a “safe haven” where they try to make you as comfortable as you can but isolate you from your friends and family and cause you to go missing. Several people have escaped, but they are determined that you won’t.

A yandere is defined as “A term for a person who is initially loving and caring to someone they like a lot until their romantic love, admiration and devotion becomes feisty and mentally destructive in nature through either overprotectiveness, violence, brutality or all three combined.” “Yandere characters are mentally unstable, deranged, and use violence or emotional abuse as an outlet for their emotions.”
