Appearance
Chiaki is a teenage girl of average height with long brown hair that has bangs swept to the right and blue eyes.

Personality
Chiaki's personality is not explored in depth but from what is gathered throughout the Light Novel, she has a quiet older sister type of personality. She is generally kind to all the boys and girls alike, but she does not actively go out to make friends.

Abilities
Chiaki believed from early on in the first year that Class D had no hopes of ever reaching Class A and thus resigned herself to a carefree school life, never putting in any real effort into her academics. She considers herself to be a major underachiever, believing that she could easily score in the top 10% of her class if she truly tried to, but believed it to be pointless as long as she was in Class D. Later on in the light novels, she starts seeing improvements in the class and becomes willing to start contributing to the class. She is also known to be skilled at mental arithmetic and can calculate quickly. She even held her own against Kōhei Katsuragi from Class A in the Mental Arithmetic event in the Event Selection Exam.

Trivia

 * As Class D is for those with flaws, Chiaki's flaw is her distant behavior.
 * For the 2nd Year arc, when asked about her aspirations for the next year, she answered  'Just like how I’ve been doing it until now. Playing with friends, putting just enough effort into studying. But that depends on the situation. I'll do what I have to do I guess.'
