Character[]
Anita can be described as the toughest of the team. While she is friendly and social to her friends, especially her best friend Chisato Fukui, Anita is quite hot-headed and hates the thought of losing as shown when she complained about Daigo not trying to switch some members to win and when it looked like Tao and Yayoi were losing on purpose. Initially when she first joined the team, she had a low first impression on Daigo as captain as well as Mutsuko Sakura and Akita Nishina as pitchers, but overtime she grew to respect them after showing how great they were. She becomes one of the most supportive teammates to Daigo, recognizing the efforts he goes to for the team. Even when Mutsuko was privately not supportive of Daigo's idea of practicing on both weekends, Anita supported it, noting that it was what the good teams did.
