First Year Arc
Amano was part of a group from the Hasekura Clique who accidentally ran into Urui Aika of the Mikagami Clique late at night, in the middle of the conflict between the two cliques. With tensions high, a clash of abilities occurred, with an intervention by a nearby and out-of-sight Misaka Mikoto to move Urui out of the way of an incoming blow.

Abilities
Amano's ability is called Air Pressure. She is a Level 4 esper. She can cut distant foes with vacuum waves.
