Overview[]
Kanata's family is a household that used to maintain a religion revolved around him as their Living God. It is unclear how many family members he has, but he has mentioned his mother before in Aquarium.
- During summer, Kanata typically has to do beach opening ceremonies for his household, and while he used to be neutral about doing it in the past, he started to find it bothersome to do them in his third year.[1][2]
- His household does not like the idea of him sleeping away from home.[3][4]
- Kanata has mentioned that his household confiscates the fish tanks he purchases.[5]

Mother[]
Kanata's mother served as the goddess of the religion, before the role was eventually passed on to Kanata following her death. While Kanata viewed her as his mother while he was a child, she could not allow him to call her his mother due to his godly status.[6]
Following her passing, she is believed to have returned to the vast sea. When he feels lost, Kanata often returns to the ocean to ask her for guidance, as is seen in Meteor Impact.[10][7]
As Kanata grew older following her passing, he began to feel more comfortable calling her his mother, as she is no longer a god.
In ABYSS, it is revealed that she faked her death to get away from the cult. She initially tried to take Kanata with her by pretending to kidnap him, but when he was rescued by Madara and Souma, she made the decision that it might be better for him to stay. As Kanata grew older he never truly knew if she was still alive or not, but claimed he could still feel that she was still alive.[11]
In Stella Maris it is later revealed that his mother is still alive, and has since fled to the remote and closed off island in Okinawa called Hoshijima, home of many members to a branch of their religion.[12]
