MatchaBlossom

MatchaBlossom is the slash ship between Kojiro "Joe" Nanjo and Kaoru "Cherry Blossom" Sakurayashiki from the SK8 the Infinity fandom.

Canon
Although not explicitly stated in the anime, they are both childhood friends. Cherry also tends to be walk into Joe's restaurant with him even without Kojiro's explicit permission.

In one of the SK8 commercials, they both appear together in the quick scene. Joe is shown trying on prank Cherry by adding hot and spicy sauce on the spaghetti which Joe himself prepared and served to Cherry. However, his malicious plans succeeded yet failed at the same time, as Cherry easily consumed it and spat fire from his mouth. Coincidentally facing Joe at the moment, his face was burnt in an instant. Cherry is seen calmly cleaning his mouth after it.

When Reki asked for some advice from Cherry for winning against Adam, he invited Reki and his friends to Joe's restaurant. Kojiro asks angrily why they were using his place without permission, but gets no response. Ignoring Joe, Cherry shows Reki and his other friends how Adam's "Love Hug" worked, giving a demonstration to them on his skateboard. As he explains the move, he does a 180° spin on "Carla" and ends up inches away from Joe's face. Cherry looks up, acknowledging their height difference; and points out evenly that he is "too close" to Joe, which annoys Kojiro.

In Episode 6, Miya tries to get Joe's attention away from the ladies, pointing towards his "Mom" who will supposedly kill him if he doesn't come back soon. Joe is amazed and astonished by legs he thinks are those of a woman, but after peering closer, they turn out to be Cherry Blossom's. As payback for barging into Joe's restaurant, he orders five more meals in Cherry's private suite, and allows the others to dig in despite a very exasperated Cherry. In the same episode, the two are the first on arriving at the thermal waters together after taking a shortcut to go there. Not long after they had settled in, they exchanged spiteful but joking conversation, only stopping to shout in fear when both were attacked by the "mud creatures".

In Episode 8, Joe and Cherry are talking inside of Joe's restaurant alone after hours when it is revealed that they have traveled together. They are arguing about whether the "hunches" Joe has are credible or not, and they bring up several different places: a social studies trip, restaurant in L.A., and a bar in Paris. The reason behind the trip to L.A. and Paris are unknown.

In Episode 9, in an after credit scene Cherry visits Joe's restaurant, Cherry is seen in bandages after leaving the hospital prematurely. Cherry then later passes out after brief conversation with Joe about Langa and Adam's skating. While unconscious Joe makes a remark to Cherry that he is sure that Adam is unhappy because he's alone, and follows up by saying that at least they're not alone. When saying this Joe is looking down on an unconscious Cherry with a very soft expression, as he whispers slightly seductively "Right...Kaoru?".

Fanon
Fans like to joke that both Joe and Kaoru are in love with each other though they wouldn't directly admit it. This is the second most popular ship in the fandom after Renga, which tends to be shipped along with MatchaBlossom too.
