Define canon. A lot of us might say "No, not really" or "Sort of" or "They're Canon in the Anime" Ultimately, where anime and novels differ, novels are king in my opinion. The novels are written by narita, and none of the other material is, so if your definition of canon includes that it was written by Narita, then no. Anime events are canon if you're talking about the anime though, and the majority of people have only seen the anime.
