In episode 11 of Photokano, the "legendary cosplayer" Alice helps Rina during
the culture festival. At that time, it's clear that Rina knows something about
Alice, very likely her true identity. However, Alice tells her to keep it a
secret.

What did Rina know about who Alice is?

What did Rina know about the "legendary cosplayer" Alice's true identity?


Rina knew that Alice's true identity is Uchida Yuuko.

Earlier in the same episode, Rina sees through Yuuko's stealth ability and
invites her to try some cooking. She eventually agrees and seems to have fun.

During the school festival, Rina once again sees through the cosplayer Alice's
"stealth" ability of masking her true identity. In a low voice, extremely
similar to Yuuko's normal voice, Alice simply tells Rina to keep it a secret.

In a previous episode, Maeda Kazuya also noticed a similarity between Yuuko
and Alice but he thought it was just his imagination, so he didn't give it any
further thought.

This may seem like speculation, but fortunately the episode's credits back it
up.

The line I've highlighted says this:

> Uchida Yuuko (Alice)     Takagaki Ayahi

So it seems like Rina is not only very good at noticing the people who tend to
just be "background noise" to everyone else, but she can also easily see
through the "disguise" of a costume and different personality to see who
someone really is. Both are pretty great abilities if you ask me.
