I've often wondered where all the Azumanga girls ended up. Any canonical or even good-enough-to-be-canon word on that matter?

Actually, I agree with this statement.

I've heard in Japan it is common for girls to get crushes on other girls around that age. See: Tomoyo, CCS. Orihime's friend, Bleach (It's a pretty common theme. But in all these instances, you'll notice, it's always towards one girl in particular, and doesn't really involve a distaste for men [except Kimura in Kaorin's case])

In other words: It seems like a case of idol worship taken to an extreme.

Indeed. She idolises Sakaki. Of course, I imagine that she may have an inclination to experiment if the opportunity presented itself, but that's not really any different to most people.

That sort of thing happens in middle school girls (and likely really is lesbianism that they shunt aside to do their "duty" to family and country and get married rather than being a selfish lesbian). See the fact that there are others who share her view that Sakaki is the most amazing thing ever in first year but by third year she's the only one still crushing on her.

I've heard in Japan it is common for girls to fall in love with anime nerds. Because everyone is an anime nerd in Japan because the only shows on TV are anime. It's very easy to produce so much anime in Japan because all Japanese are all great mangaka without exception. I am also studying to become a mangaka so I can move to Japan and make a lot of yen drawing animu.

So essentially, she's GAR for Sakaki?

Pretty much.

I'd have to say it seems it might be an instance of an obsessive personality disorder, who, much like her idol, causes her to have a hard time differentiating fantasy from reality.

As an example, Kaorin actually wasn't that bad in the begininng. She seemed to admire Sakaki just like the other girls. However, over time, she gets worse and worse, constantly stating that Sakaki is a "lone wolf," "cold," etc. despite evidence to suggest her true, calm demeanor. In a sense, Kaorin creates see Sakaki as her idea of what "the perfect woman" is, and what she would like to be. Tomo also sort of does this to Sakaki, but only in the physical sense. But whereas Tomo strives to become and then beat Sakaki at "her" own game, Kaorin essentially attempts to enshrine her.

To put it another way, ever notice how Kaorin seemingly acts more like a bodyguard than a lover? She tries to keep away people who seemingly want to be romantically involved with her (like when Osaka said she was "aiming for Sakaki," when she really meant to be LIKE Sakaki) However, Kaorin never seems to actually "hook-up" with Sakaki. All she ever tries to do, seemingly, is stick close to her and admire her actions. Even in her dreams, she doesn't try to kiss Sakaki or anything, she just gets "rescued" by her.

To summarize: To Kaorin, Sakaki = God. She's obsessive to the point of being unable to see contradicting evidence staring her in the face. In before tl;dr Habeeb it.

One final note: Though what I wrote above is what I believe... The lesbian jokes are a lot funnier, so, it's okay to mock her for it.
