- A prayer.
- Prayer:This is the dance of my pledge, slash the calamities that befall my Ashikabi! (我が誓約の舞 葦牙が厄 薙ぎ払わん, Waga seiyaku no mai ashikabi ga wazawai nagiharawan)[8]
- Sekirei Sacred Dance: Lovers Dance (鶺鴒神楽．比翼ノ舞, Sekirei Kagura: "Hiyoku no Mai")[8] The user swings their katana, which, when crossed with the blade of another, creates an explosion of highly pressurized air.
History
During one of the invasions of Kamikura Island, Kaho and Musubi were kidnapped by an unspecified group. After they were rescued by the second generation Disciplinary Squad, both she and Musubi promised Yume that they would fight until one of them was the last one, as well as freeing all the Sekirei with "broken wings." Before being winged by Oosumi Orihiko, she was among the many Sekirei protected by Homura during his time as Sekirei Guardian. Once she survived the skirmish on board M.B.I.'s ship, Minato, Kaho boldly proclaimed to Karasuba that she would defeat her. [2][6]
