KanaMari

Kanamari is the femslash ship between Kanan Matsuura and Mari Ohara from the Love Live! Sunshine!! fandom.

Canon
Mari and Kanan are close friends who know each other since childhood (along with Dia Kurosawa). Kanan convinced Mari to join her in creating a school idol group along with Dia. However, Mari had an injury before their performance so Kanan and Dia decided not to perform. The group was eventually disbanded.

They seem to be really different at first - Mari seems like an optimistic, enthusiastic, always cheerful girl, while Kanan is more mature and calm. But the more we get to know them, the more we see, how much these two have in common, after all.

Fanon
Kanan and Mari seem to have the deepest connection in the Sunshine!! series, which is the reason why the ship sailed. As well, their contrasting yet similar personalities and childhood friendship helped fuel it.

KanaMari is one of the most popular ships of Sunshine!!. It's also often paralleled to NozoEli, the ship from the first Love Live! series, School Idol Project. This is most likely due to both pairs including only third-years and some similarities in appearance (Kanan and Nozomi, Mari and Eli) and personality (Kanan and Eli, Mari and Nozomi).

On AO3, KanaMari is the 9th most popular ship on the ''Love Live! School Idol Festival tag, the 8th on the Love Live! School Idol Project tag, and the 4th on the Love Live! Sunshine!!'' tag. It is also the most popular ship for both members.
