Midokan

Midokan is the het ship between Sou Hiyori and Kanna Kizuchi from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Chapter 3, Part 1
In Sou’s first appearance, Kanna calls him out when he shows his sadistic tendencies talking about Shin, and he tells her to not get so mad. When Shin AI appears, she questions him if he would call that friendship he had with Sou. Kanna expresses to go after Sou when he leaves the room to Sara, and then has the idea to listen to his footsteps to detect where he was.

When Kurumada finds the experiment log Sou wrote, Kanna is the first to want to inspect the book, with the intention to know a bit more about the relationship between Sou and Shin. She can be found reading the book later in the library, when Sara can use her lantern in Kanna to know her lost memories about Sou. In her lost memory, Kanna was at an ice cream shop where Sou was actually the clerk and convinced her to sign the contract. Since Kanna couldn’t think of anything, Sou gave her an idea to grant her sister’s wish instead.

Later, her wish is brought up when Kanna confronts Sou about how he took advantage of everyone. Sou asks her if she wants to know about what Kugie answered, Kanna accepts and then he reveals that Shin was actually Kanna’s sibling. Still, she refuses to give up while Sou is left annoyed for her not breaking down properly exclaiming that toys these days sure are complex.

In the Shin lives route, Sou approaches Shin and says it was a pity about Kanna.

Deleted Scenes
In a deleted scene from Chapter 3, Part 1 in Shin Lives Route, Sou is seen looking at a monitor exclaiming "How pitiful... Kanna-chan, even though she's so young...", feeling pity for her dying at an early age. Meister shows up and Sou asks if it's not possible to end the Death Game, and he replies that if he could, he wouldn't be having a hard time.

Quotes
"Sou told us to get our memories back, didn't he...? Were our memories erased, I wonder...?"

- Kanna wondering to herself about Sou.

Fanon
Midokan is considered a rarepair for diverse reasons. Kanna is canonically 14 years old, while Sou has no age confirmed but certainly is an adult, and their age gap makes the ship unappealing for most of the fandom. Even as a friendship, it continues unpopular for their lack of interactions in canon. Still, there are some people that ship it for their age difference and their opposites attract dynamic.

The interest that Kanna demonstrated in Sou is an important factor for shippers, although it's because of her wanting to know information from Shin and not because she wants to know about Sou himself.

Sou and Kanna’s notable rival ships are both with Shin Tsukimi, them being Soushin and Soukanna. Some fans also prefer to ship them together in a polyship, forming Soushinkanna. Another Midokan rival is Mapledori and Milori. In general, Midokan is overshadowed by other pairings and hardly shipped in the fandom.
