Due to her innocent and cheerful attitude, Chika seems to be completely unaware to the psychological "battles" that occur between Kaguya and Miyuki as they constantly try to get each other to confess their love.

"[3] A month earlier, during another interview, when asked about whether he resembles any of his characters, Akasaka said that he is like Chika in that he loves board games, and that he feels like her and has her personality when friends and family visit.

[5] Chika is a fair-skinned young girl with shoulder-length silver hair (light pink in the anime) that has a black bow in the middle of her square bangs, blue eyes and she has a large chest size.

However, since forms of recreation such as video games and otherworldly items were forbidden to her, she sought other means of escape and has developed many deep and unusual hobbies.

[11] She can be oddly perceptive at times, regarding Yu Ishigami's and Miko Ino's respective feelings, but is simultaneously oblivious to Kaguya and Miyuki's relationship.

[19] The popularity of Chika's character has made her a frequent subject of cosplay among female fan readers of the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War series.

[24][25] Reviewing Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network said that part of the reason the story works is because of Chika, as she both lightens up the mood and tries to act as a good friend and "breath of sanity" for Kaguya and Miyuki.

[26] Faiyaz Chowdhury of Comic Book Resources commented that "Chika is the wildcard amidst the various mind games Kaguya and Shirogane attempt on each other in their battle of confession.

Her aloof, goofball nature is used to serve as a humorous obstruction to the main characters' daily psychological battles, allowing for the comedy to evolve with layered twists and turns.
