Canon: Kagura wasn't a part of the cracktastic world of Azumanga Daioh from the beginning; Yukari brought her into the class for a better chance at the sports festival. She's the athletic one among her group of friends, the only one who bothers to stay after school for clubs (swim team, in her case). She also runs, bikes, dives, smashes watermelons... the girl's got it all! Unfortunately, the same thing cannot be said of her schoolwork. After comparing failed quiz results with Tomo and Osaka, she later dubs herself and her two low-ranking amicas "Bonkuras" (Knuckleheads), with the "s" added because English plurals look cool. Give you an idea? Just the same, she was inexplicably the first one of the girls to be accepted into university.
Although tomboyish and highly competitive, Kagura's shown herself to be a little insecure and extremely emotional, prone to bouts of extreme joy or sadness at any given moment. At times, she's as crazy and idiotic as Tomo; at others, she shows restraint and realizes when the business is serious. She's also quick to take responsibility if she thinks she let anyone down or hurt someone. And if there's one thing Kagura hates, it's having her rack pointed out because SERIOUSLY GUYS THEY'RE NOT THAT BIG shut up.
The Kagura here is being taken from her freshman year of university, with the assumption that she followed her dream of swimming professionally.

All right, folks, let's do this thing! We've only got a few months to train, and like hell I'm going to let my first team be a mess and a half. Just think, a first time swim coach bringing a team of country misfits with skin diseases to the nationals! The media will love you guys! Though gotta put it out, I'm taking the T.V. interviews solo. You guys have the hearts of winners and the faces for radio. No offense!
Not sure how much the last guy told you, but my name's Kagura and I'm coming to you all the from Japan. Wait, I've been practicing a greeting, listen to this... Yo parlez Taco Bell GOOOOD YAY?! Pretty awesome, right? And stop laughing, you in the back, or you're cleaning the outdoor pool AND paying for the chlorine tablets. Hah! Not so funny now, is it? And while I'm at it, "Coach, your tits look really nice in that swimsuit" does not count as sportsmanship. Geez.
Okay, team, line up at... damn, it's a lake? Oh well, same difference, just don't swallow the water. Ready, steady, GO! You on the outside lane, let's see you move in and heat up the competition! No, SWIM, don't bite him! And you, use your arms! You don't even have an excuse to use that breast stroke joke 'cause you don't have them! And that nasty looking tumor thing on your chest doesn't count, so stop jiggling it around. You are not Girls Gone Wild, you are athletes!
Man, Smithy, who would've thought someone could swim that fast with those skinnyass arms? Give me five! ... oh dammit, I am so sorry! I didn't think I was hitting that hard! Uh, the neck bone's connected to the funny bone, the arm bone's connected to the... crotch bone? I think that's right. There you go, Smithy, good as new! I think you might need a new pair of swim shorts, but that's what the budget's for.
As for the rest of you, I'm surprised some of you got past the doggie paddle. The sport is called swimming, not drowning. Let me show you how it's done!
... what the hell is in lane six?
