Yeah, in Season 2 there's an episode that points out just how f**ked up an Ashikabi can be and what a sickening relationship it leads to. That idea that these girls are bound to whomever wins a genetic lottery regardless of character or moral fiber. On that note, I'm sure you've probably started asking questions about the credibility of the show's "destined romantic partner" thing. That's this show in a nutshell, come to think of it. "Grabbing a woman's breast leads to a revelation about their identity and the psychological crisis they are currently having." How many shows can you say THAT about? It sounds so stupid on paper, and yet in execution it's not. And the one time Minato DOES accidentally cop a feel, the show uses it as a rather unique plot point dealing with a character's dual-identity. The fan service is never the focus of a scene, the focus is always on fun character interaction or moving the story forward. The show always find diegetic reasons for fan service and never has the main character cop a feel for no reason. The other thing that separates Sekirei from other harem anime is its maturity. None of the Sekirei are one-note nor are any of the other characters, with the exception of some of the lesser mentioned. In fact, they kick THAT cliché in the happy sack from the get-go. There's no perverted male lead to facilitate fan service, nor any contrived high school scenario. There's an actual villain this time around who by all means I should hate but for some reason can't stay mad at whenever he's on screen. What sets Sekirei above most other harem anime is how it goes out of its way to trample nearly every harem cliché that people like me are sick of. These are not things you say about a dumb fan-service show, this was clearly something that someone put a lot of thought and care into crafting. Each member of the harem has a different kind of relationship with the hero and with each other, so they all feel like real people. The writers seem to know just which dramatic moments between them to kill with comedy and which ones to let play out, resulting in a tone reminiscent of Glen Murakami's Teen Titans cartoon. The harem girls have diverse characters that allow for a balanced mix of comedy and drama, and they're really what makes the show work as well as it does.
And, believe me, it's given a very legitimate reason for happening. He does eventually become an selfless hero who puts his girls first and himself second (yeah, I know, that's a tired harem cliché of the weak male protagonist archtype), however this change is only introduced during the second season. While being physically weak and having a tendency to crumple under pressure, he is very likable and doesn't fall to the harem trope of being a lecherous pervert or a namby pamby with a deus ex machina on stand by. Minato himself is the best male lead for a harem anime you could ask for. It centers around Minato Sahashi who, after having a beautiful girl LITERALLY fall into his life, discover that he is an Ashikabi, the destined partner of this girl and others like her known as Sekirei. However, that really wouldn't do it justice, since it's so much more than a typical harem or another "There Can Be Only One" story. Currently she competes for Minato's affection by joining the shopping contests and wearing all kinds of outfits from Uzume's collection in order to make him "happy".Sekirei can kind of be summed up with "Highlander with Fan Service". Like Tsukiumi, Kazehana addresses herself as Minato's 'wife'. Despite Minato's lack of 'manliness', his concern and love for his Sekirei caused Kazehana to develop feelings for him and she eventually became his Sekirei. She questioned herself however if Minato would be able to convince her to become his Sekirei and decided to put him up to the test. Due to this, Kazehana stated that she didn't had any interest in things such as the Sekirei Plan because she didn't expect to like and accept an Ashikabi other than Minaka.
She seems to show hatred towards Takami Sahashi as she could be the person that Minaka Hiroto loved. She's also confident in her natural sex appeal and not afraid to speak her mind as she openly admitted in front of the others that she loved MBI Director Minaka Hiroto, however she was rejected after the confession as he loved someone else. Normally, Kazehana displays a very relaxed personality and often becomes giddy when discussing matters of love. She later addresses herself as Minato's "new wife". Because of Minato's possible resemblance to his father, she begins to develop feelings towards him and eventually becomes his Sekirei.
She meets Minato at the "Izumo inn" and seems to know his father (was possibly in-love with him and wanted to be his Sekirei). She becomes Minato's fifth Sekirei and her power is wind (derived from her name "kaze" which means wind and "Hana" which means flower).
