Ouka Kawasumi

Ouka Kawasumi is one of the key characters in *GROW UP SHOW -Sunflower Circus-*, performing as the star "flyer" on the trapeze for the Sunflower Circus. Deeply passionate about the circus arts, Ouka is a diligent and ambitious performer who constantly strives to improve. While Ouka carries the dignified, earnest air of an exemplary performer on stage, there is also a slightly airheaded and endearing absent-minded side in daily life, creating a charming contrast. At the beginning of the story, Ouka rescues Mizuka Tsurumaki—a circus prodigy who had collapsed from hunger on the road—and welcomes Mizuka into the troupe. In contrast to Mizuka's carefree and sometimes blunt attitude, Ouka remains fiercely dedicated to the craft, striving to partner with Mizuka and perfect the routine as the troupe chases after legendary circus performances.
