Kyoko Kirigiri was born into a family of famous and intelligent detectives. She was closest to her father, but when her dad showed no interest of becoming an detective, he was banished from the family. He wouldn't be allowed back into the mannor. She, of course, wasn't told why he had vanished and thought that he just left.
One day Kyoko was putting her detective skills in use in her mansion for clues about her father's disappearance. When suddenly she smelt smoke. That's when she found out that someone set the manor on fire to stray her away from the investigation. Kyoko saw the focument she needed and set off to get it. It was around a part of the house that was on fire. She quickly grabbed it, burning both of her hands in the process.
When Kyoko got the document, she found out that her father became a principle at the school, Hopes Peak Academy. She got accepted into the school and set out to find her father. But, the moment she walked on campus, she blacked out. Getting brainwashed and not remembering much about her past life made it even more difficult for her to find her dad. But in the end she finds out that he died and the mastermind kept his bones in a neatly wrapped gift box for her to find.
Kyoko is a calm, mysterious girl who is unfazed by all of the horrendous things she has to deal with on a daily basis. She tends to hide her feelings behind an stoic face. She's quiet and intelligent, which is another reason as to why she's a fan favorite. She is an major protagonist.
She was quiet and only spoke when she needed to add something to the investigation. She never really bothered trying to become friends with the others because she was too concerned with finding her father. After Naegi (The main character) beat Junko in a game,her and the other five survivors started an organization called The Future Foundation. The foundations has the characters, Makoto Naegi, Aoi Asahina, Yasuhiro Hagakure, and Byakuya Togami, Toko Fukawa was not included in the foundation despite being another survivor because her other personality was a serial killer.
Before her father left, Kyoko's main goal was becoming a great detective like the rest of her family. After he left, her goal changed to wanting to find him and figure out what happened to him. Then after she found out he was dead, her main concern was to stop Junko from spreading despair over the world with the help of the Future Foundation.
Kyoko was easily one of the most interesting characters in V1 because she always had some sort of lean on who the murderer was. She was also intelligent and has a good heart. She helped the main character, Makato Naegi the most out of everyone. When I first played the game, I remember being really invested in her backstory for some reason. I also thought it was cool that she was a professional Detective at the age of 18. Her character design is also really cool. Usually when I see a character with her color pallette, they're usually hyper and pretty annoying after a while.
