Konoha (コノハ) is the the 9th member of the Mekakushi Dan.

He is actually the Snake of Awakening Eyes (目を醒ます蛇 Me wo Samasu Hebi) in the body of Haruka Kokonose.

When Haruka was in the Kagerou Daze, he was given the Snake of Awakening Eyes by Azami to remake his body, which took on the appearance of his video game character, Konoha. When Haruka rejected this body, his mind was forced to be left behind in the Kagerou Daze while his body and snake went to the real world as Konoha.

Appearance

 * Konoha has snow-white hair; his bangs grow just past his light pink eyes and the rest is tied in a low ponytail that ends above his shoulders. He has two circles that match his eye color on his right cheek that connect to each other and his eye with black lines. He wears a black neckband with two bright, yellow-green arrows that point downward on both sides. His headphones have yellow-green ear cups that each have a black border and two black accents. His clothing consists of a white, long-sleeved shirt he wears over a longer black one and light green flap trousers. The white shirt has a deep, round neckline and two rounded cuts at both sides of the waist. The right sleeve of Konoha's white shirt ends just below the elbow, whereas its left sleeve ends at the wrist. Black loops of fabric hang from beneath both ends of his white sleeves. The black bibs of his flap trousers are not on his shoulders but instead hang down loosely around his hips. His pants are the same yellow-green color as the accents of his accessories and have long, black arrows pointing downwards at the outer and inner seams of their legs. The ends of his pants are stuffed into grey, knee-high boots, which both have yellow-green arrows that drop down and curve slightly at the heel. Both boots have straps coming from the top of them and two black buckled straps over each instep.


 * In in the short film Kagerou Daze -in a day's-, only Konoha's face and headphones remain unchanged. He wears his ponytail high up while the hair below it hangs loosely behind his neck. He wears a black undershirt with long sleeves and a hem that ends below his hips. Above it, he wears a white and light gray shirt with yellow-green accents, including two large arrows that point downward on each side, and cuffed sleeves that end just below the elbow. Each cuff also has a long, thin black cord hanging off each outer side. He wears grey-navy blue pants that end below his knees and a pair of open-toed sandals.


 * When possessed by the Snake of Clearing Eyes, Konoha's general color palette changes. His hair and outer shirt become black, and the green-yellow parts of his outfit (headphones, neckband, and pants) become gray. The yellow arrows on his boots become black, and his eyes and the circles below his right eye become yellow.

Personality

 * Konoha is a gentle and quiet boy with apparent amnesia. Not knowing much about the normal world, he is rather air-headed, thus easily forgets some things; for example, he quickly forgets Hibiya and Hiyori's names despite hearing their long introductions the day before. He speaks very slowly and softly, and he's not a big fan of someone complaining about other people, as he has a black and white morality and is quick to judge something as "not nice". It's generally pretty rare to see Konoha express any negativity with someone. He also appears to be sensitive, and he can be brought to tears quickly if scolded.


 * As the Snake of Awakening Eyes, his existence revolves around his owner's wish. While Konoha does not have Haruka's memories, his body remembers Haruka's final wish to make friends. Because of this, this is his own goal as well, and he is quick to befriend people, especially Hibiya and Hiyori, who are staying with him in Kenjirou's residence. He, like Haruka, enjoys eating, and he especially enjoys Hibiya's cooking. When danger arises, he will unhesitatingly risk his own life to protect his friends; in more than one Route, for example, the Snake of Clearing Eyes is able to possess him when he makes himself vulnerable by protecting someone else.


 * Thanks to his eye ability, Konoha has superhuman strength and abilities and can eat much more than a normal person, even Haruka. Due to his general lack of understanding to how the world works, he is unaware of how others can react to his abilities and displays little impulse control before using them. For example, he will easily leap into the air while carrying a new friend to quickly take them to a new destination or destroy the floor to reach the level below despite whoever is standing by him. He is also willing to use violence against his enemies while having a relatively blank facial expression.


 * In the Kagerou Daze and when it is separated from Haruka's body, the Snake of Awakening Eyes has a much more condescending and direct tone when it speaks to Haruka.

Eye Ability

 * Awakening Eyes (目を醒ます Me wo Samasu): Konoha's eye ability gives him the power to remake his body into one that its true owner, Haruka, finds to be "ideal". Since Haruka was physically weak and sickly, this caused Konoha to become supernaturally strong. He has been shown to be able to jump great heights and destroy building floors with a single punch. He can heal from even fatal injuries with this ability, which looks like multiple black snakes wrapping around his body when activated.

 * The name "Konoha" is a shortening of Haruka's full name, "Haruka Kokonose", where the "kono" was taken from "Kokonose", and the "ha" taken from "Haruka", which together forms "Konoha". Haruka mimicked Takane's own naming technique to achieve this.
