| “ | ...You are human, Milady. So you are free to live any way you please, and any kind of future is possible for you. It's almost like you have wings and can dance through the sky like a bird. (...) ...Only a human like Milady can embrace that possibility. ...I am not like that. I have no future, no possibilities, ...no dream that I am allowed to see. | „ |
| ~ Kanon to Jessica |
Background
Kanon is an important character in Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. He is one of the 18 humans on Rokkenjima.
Kanon is a butler working for the Ushiromiya family, who has been raised in the family for years. He is quite asocial and prefers to keep to himself. He is serious and works incredibly hard, however disapproves of relationships of Shannon, as he believes that furniture do not deserve love.
Despite this, he has feelings for Jessica Ushiromiya though he attempts to repress them on his belief that furniture does not deserve love, which conflicts with both him and Shannon.

Attack Potency: Human level normally, Building level with magic (Fought off one of The Seven Stakes of Purgatory at his peak), higher when synchronized with Shannon (Due to them being twin furniture, their power exponentially increases when linked. This allows them to intercept the attacks of the Chiester Sisters) | Ascendent level (Exists in the Witch Domain, a higher realm of existence from which the entire Human Domain is regarded as fiction and its inhabitants are seen as pieces laid on a chessboard, their fates and lives merely small fragments which can be manipulated and physically interacted with even by normal humans inhabiting this perspective. This includes structures such as higher dimensions, hierarchies of stories, dreams, and daydreams, and the Underside of the Chessboard, a void of nothingness completely beyond space and time which resides in an unreachable "nowhere" in relation to the entire world of the pieces. Killed multiple Theory Goats in the Golden Land.) | High Ascendent level (Nigh-Infinite Layers. Manifested in the City of Books)

Lifting Strength: Unknown | Irrelevant (Exists in a higher domain where the concepts of size and mass are irrelevant, with entire worlds which themselves contain higher-dimensional structures being just fiction contained in small fragments to him, and the Human Domain as a whole nothing but a chessboard) | Irrelevant
Durability: Building level (Took attacks from both The Seven Stakes of Purgatory and the Goat Butlers) | Ascendent level | High Ascendent level as part of Ange's world (His existence is sustained by Ange and ensured by their golden truth, thus being completely invulnerable to even attacks coming from the likes of Bernkastel, who failed to kill them despite repeated attempts to deny her existence with the Red Truth)

Range: Standard melee range, several meters with magic, hundreds of meters with the Spirit Particle Defense | Ascendental | High Ascendental
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Average (A capable combatant, but is average in most fields)
Weaknesses: Believes that they cannot love | If Ange, Beatrice, or Battler dies, she will disappear
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Truths: Special moves utilized in debates between Witches and Humans taking place in the Meta-World, being statements denoted by specific colors which often manifest as conceptual weapons that directly target the enemy's very existence in an attempt to deny it, and are thus impossible to physically avoid, forcing opponents to counter the attacker's arguments with another truth. As the damage dealt by the Truths is conceptual, rather than strictly physical, they completely bypass conventional durability and allow the user to skewer and even kill opponents much more powerful than themselves
- Blue Truth: A theoretical scenario made with the purpose of directly denying the enemy's arguments and existence, whose true validity is unclear but nonetheless takes precedence over any statements spoken in basic white text, while being inferior to the Red Truth. It normally assumes the form of several stakes which skewer and impale opponents, damaging them on a conceptual level and being impossible to remove unless their falsehood is directly declared with the Red Truth; otherwise, that which is spoken in blue will be asserted as the truth and grant victory to the attacker, while erasing their opponent's concept entirely.
