Don't think that should be that much of an issue. Taichi had little to no scenes on tourney mats early on and we could still feel his dedication to the game. Desktomu is an even better example. Guy has had barely any luck getting screentime with him on the mat (he reached a Class D final that was given less prominence than a Class A match in terms of screentime.) and yet we can see how much effort he put in. All I see Chihaya doing is shaking her head, pouting, making (awesome) reaction faces and the like. She feels like a running gag or a plot device more than a dedicated Karuta player. It wouldn't be that bad if the rest of the characters weren't as prominent as they are. But with the rest of the cast shining so brilliantly, Chihaya seems like an utter joke.
