Yuru Camp Wiki

Ena Saitō (斉藤 恵那, Saitō Ena) is a young girl in Yuru CampΔ who is a student at Motosu High School and first appears in "Welcome to the Outdoor Activities Club!" as a friend of Rin.

Appearance[]

Ena is a fair-skinned girl with short brown hair that has hair strands swept to the left side and blue eyes.

When outdoors or camping, she wears a puffy blue coat and maroon leggings. She also wears white-and-blue ankle-warmers, grey boots, a white-and-blue scarf with grey gloves, and earmuffs.

In school, she wears the typical female uniform (seifuku, 制服).

Personality[]

Ena loves her pet dog Chikuwa and maintains a cordial relationship with Rin. When Ena and Rin talk via text, they tend to be rather sarcastic with each other.

Ena usually likes to sleep with her dog. She loves to play with Rin-chan's hair, but knows how to style other people's hair on request.

Ena claims to be a member of the "go-home club" and uses this as excuse whenever she invited to join the Outdoor Activities Club. However, she does later join Chiaki and Aoi on several camps without Nadeshiko.

Ena is generally helpful towards others. For example, she helps the Outdoor Activities Club set up their first tent by handing them a spare part to connect one of their broken poles, and thus becomes friends with them. To Rin's chagrin, Ena informs Nadeshiko of the next place Rin went camping to.

Camping[]

Ena wasn't interested in winter camping at the start of the series, but was eventually convinced by the Outdoor Activities Club to join them on a Christmas camp. She in turn convinces Rin to join them too.

Ena doesn't own a tent, instead preferring to share the tents of others. The first time she goes camping, she brings an expensive sleeping bag, thus hinting that she is from a well-to-do family.

Yuru Camp Movie[]

In the movie set ten years after the events of Season 1, Ena runs a pet salon in Yokohama. She is the last of the five main characters to get on board with Chiaki's campsite project, and is assigned with P.R. duties. Ena meets the others again for the first time in a while, at the Yamanashi prefectural building in Kōfu, where she proposes a dog run at the campsite. After the initial project was shelved due to an archaeological discovery related to treasure that her dog Chikuwa found nearby, Ena helps produce a video detailing Chiaki's new campsite plans. She does most of the narration in said video.

By this time, Ena lives in Yokohama with her dog Chikuwa, and she drives what looks like a Fiat 500.

Relationships[]

Rin Shima[]

Ena usually messages her whenever she's going on a camping trip, and she's the reason why Rin started Group Camping by convincing her and which left her thinking about it. She often chats with Rin while she is working in the school library.
