Kaya Takagi (née Miyoshi, born June 25, 1993 in Saitama-ken, Japan), is Miho Mashiro's best friend and Akito Takagi's wife. She sees Azuki, Takagi, and Mashiro pursuing their dreams, so she decides to have a dream too. Her first dream was to be a writer, but then decided later on that she wanted to make Takagi, Mashiro and Azuki's dreams to come true. In order to do so, she at least helps the mangaka pair by being their assistant.

Appearance

Kaya has light brown hair which she normally wears in a high ponytail at the back of her head. She has pursed lips and large breasts. After reaching her 20s, Kaya lips become more normal looking. Her casual clothing usual has long-sleeved shirts with either a skirt or shorts. Her pajamas are a matching top and pants with poke-a-dots.

Personality

Kaya is loud, rather childish, and seems to get on the nerves of quite a few people but all the while she is still very kind, and supportive of Takagi and Mashiro in their dreams. She often helps out with the tones and inking, working as a sort of assistant. She has joked about Mashiro paying her, but when he took her seriously, she quickly shook her head and said that she was joking. Miyoshi helps out in inking the manga and generally maintaining a positive atmosphere in the studio. Mashiro and Takagi find that her optimistic presence in the studio helps cheer up what is otherwise very stressful working environment and feel she is part of the "team."

She also seems to be rather self-conscious of her appearance. Stating several times that she is not pretty, an example of this is when Takagi is having coffee with Aoki, Azuki and her and Azuki says 'I wonder what people are thinking Takagi, you sitting with three pretty girls.' and Miyoshi cuts in saying 'Two.' in a correcting manner. Kaya also seems frightened by compliments about her looks; when it was up in the air about Reversi getting an anime, Akito and Moritaka lied about why they were either happy or depressed, they scared her the first time by saying she was super cute.

Kaya has a temper, which is something to look out for. When she's drunk, Kaya's wrath is a mere disagreement with her away. Kaya has a mischevious side; when Akito explained guys want to see panties, she was ready to tell Mashiro what Miho's looked like. However, she was talked out of it as it would be too much for Mashiro, not to mention it'd make him unable to focus on work. 

She cares very much about Akito, often taking about his well-being with Mashrio and Miho; however, she is usualy told not to bother as it usualy works out in the end. Her taste in furniture is left questionable as most of her home has average furniture, but when it came to choosing their bed, Kaya choose one she thought cute; however, Akito found "disturbingly erotic. When it comes to having children, Kaya's given some mixed responses. A few years into their marriage, Kaya decided it was time to have a child; however, Akito put the idea off. When a copycat was immitating PCP, she assured Akito she could raise a child to know right from wrong. When she mentioned taking their children to the hot springs one day, she slapped Takagi when he said they'd give it a try that night.
