Shinobu's classmate and best friend, the two have been close ever since they found out they're both otaku. Kiriya is a member of the 2D club and very talented at making things with computers - he can edit pictures, write scripts, programming, music, and so on. He is even part of a video game developer group. Though he doesn't have any experience himself, Kiriya loves giving advice to Shinobu and always butts into conversations regarding love. However, he does have a crush on Ren even though the two fight often over their favorite characters and genres.
