愛宕 絹恵

Kinue is a second-year at Himematsu High School, Hiroe's younger sister and Funakubo cousin. In middle school she was a goal keeper and had a scholarship but declined to be with her sister in the mahjong club. She is very fond of her sister, applying for the same school just to be with her. Kinue is more mild-mannered than her sister, but also lacks her sister's confidence and sometimes despairs that her abilities are not good enough. She had been interested in both mahjong and soccer since she was young, but, in awe of her mother and sister's skill at mahjong, chose to focus on soccer until shortly before high school. Kinue is shown to be a normal, digital-style player, playing logically and safely: she was very weary of Sae's dealer riichi and Uzusumi calling souzu tiles in the first hand. Kinue largely wants to protect and further the amount of points that her sister got, hoping to prove her usefulness to the rest of the team. She focuses on getting to tenpai quickly, and protecting their points whenever possible.
