Shaman Fights First Round
Kanna Bismarch has made several appearances without even saying anything. Her first one is the title page of reincarnation 1 with Marion and Matilda and something that could be Ashcroft. Also in reincarnation 15 she is in the title page. Then in reincarnation 26, she is on her motorcycle with Ashcroft's armor strapped to it. Then she is argue with Marion and Matilda about Asakura Yoh and Tao Ren when they are fighting. When Yoh, Ren, Ryo, and Horohoro are going to the plane she is in the background behind the Spirit of Fire with Matilda and Marion. She is also one of the shamans shown on the next two pages. And also one of the shamans shown when it is showing Hao's followers. She is also shown when Asakura Hao arrives in the Patch Village. She is shown in many title pages afterwords.

Fight with T-production
This fight's end was shown but the actual fighting is not. In this fight Ashcroft was shown for the first time.

Fight with Tamao and Tao Jun
Kanna, Marion Phauna, and Matilda Matisse fight Tamao Tamamura and Tao Jun while trying to get Redseb and Seyrarm's souls. She is the first one to fight and she fights Jun and Lee Bailong. She shows her spirit ally Ashcroft which is in a suit of armor.

Bailong fights and easily breaks the armor. Then it showed that keeping the armor together is ectoplasm. Then Ashcroft makes a giant hole in Bailong while saving Ponchi and Conchi. When Bailong is about to destroy the armor Ashcroft cuts off his arm. Bailong tries to attack Ashcroft but goes through him. Then Ashcroft cuts off his leg. After that it shows that the true medium is Kanna's cigarette smoke. The Hana-Gumi soundly defeats Jun and Tamao and goes in for the kill.

Then Asakura Mikihisa shows up and gets rid of Ashcroft with only his furyoku. He proceeds to slap Kanna, Marion, and Matilda. After defeating Matilda and Marion with only words she yells at him. He grab the cigarette bud off the ground, puts it away and says "Smoking's not good for you especially if you ever want to have children." When they are about to attack Mikihisa Magna reveals himself and tells them they are still useful, and that they should back out before being defeated.

Death and return
Her, Matilda Matisse, and Marion Phauna are killed by Peyote Diaz. She is brought back again by lady Sati and switches sides to yoh's. The Hanagumi help fight off the remainder of Asakura Hao's follwers. She was last seen with her team about what they did and they try to think over their life.

Anime/Manga Difference
In the anime Kanna doesn't have a cigarette in her mouth, which is ironic considering that it is her spirit medium.
