Description
Kiriko Takana is a first-year student at Kunpō High School and a classmate of the protagonist, Kouta Oyamada. Physically, she is recognized by her long black hair which reaches her waist and her green eyes. Hailing from an affluent family, she is often seen using expensive gadgets and effortlessly excels in her academic studies, consistently achieving top marks without noticeable effort.
Personality-wise, Kiriko holds a strong and pronounced distrust and dislike of men, broadly referring to them as beasts. This perspective extends to her classmate Kouta, whom she frequently criticizes for what she perceives as perverted tendencies. Because of this attitude, she is known for calling Kouta by nicknames such as Eros the Great. Despite her general disdain for men, Kiriko displays a contradictory interest in the romantic dynamics between Kouta and the older fox spirit Chizuru Minamoto. She actively imagines and elaborates upon their relationship, often attributing Chizuru's aggressive advances to Kouta having an irresistible aura.
Kiriko's role in the story is primarily as a supporting character who provides commentary on the central relationship. Together with her best friend, Yuki Sasamori, she participates in spreading school rumors, which significantly contributes to Kouta's reputation as a womanizer around the campus. Her friendship with Yuki is a key relationship, as the two share a close bond. They address each other by affectionate nicknames, with Kiriko calling Yuki Yuuki and Yuki calling her Ki-chan in return. The pair are frequently seen together, and Yuki is noted as the one who built or created Kiriko, though the specifics of this statement are ambiguous.
In terms of development and abilities, Kiriko is aware of a specific gymnastics routine involving putting her hands together, which she refers to as chest augmentation gymnastics. She shared this method with another character named Nozomu, who then began practicing it daily. Aside from her academic prowess and her role as a rumor-monger with Yuki, Kiriko does not undergo a significant character arc, remaining a consistent presence as the cynical and sharp-tongued observer of the chaos caused by the supernatural beings around her.
