Kaguya Shinomiya (四宮 かぐや, Shinomiya Kaguya) is the titular character of the manga series Kaguya-sama: Love Is War by Aka Akasaka. She serves as the student council vice president of Shuchiin Academy and comes from the wealthy Shinomiya family. She has feelings for Miyuki Shirogane, the student council president, but is too proud to confess her feelings. Later on in the series, they are able to confess and become a couple, although their relationship is complicated by Kaguya's family circumstances and Miyuki's decision to study abroad at Stanford University.
Akasaka modeled Kaguya's personality on the character of Kaguya-hime from Japanese folklore. He originally had Kaguya and Miyuki have similar personalities, although their characters diverged over time. Kaguya is voiced in Japanese by Aoi Koga and by Alexis Tipton in English. She is portrayed by Kanna Hashimoto in the film adaptations.
Kaguya has been well-received by fans. She has ranked highly in popularity polls, and won the Best Girl award at the 2021 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
