**Kyiki Hashimoto** is a first year student at Binan High. He is also the heir of the Yakuza group known as the **Sea Snake Mafia**.

As a Battle Lover, his given element is snow and he transforms into *Resplendent Prince Battle Lover Silver.*

## Appearance

Kyiki has greenish-blue eyes and waist-length white hair with a black and blue gradient. His uniform is different due to being a first year at Binan High. He also wears black high-heeled boots with rainbow markings on them and a blue, silver, and pink choker necklace with a centered heart-shaped blue sapphire with a silver border in it, which is found out to have been a gift from his father Lance that was given to him on the day of his birth.

As a Battle Lover, he wears a white shirt paired with a vest and silver-colored neckerchief with a white jewel in the shape of a winged heart, a long white cloak with swirling silver designs at the bottom and a white rose on the lapel with a silver chain looping down from the rose to the other lapel, a pair of long white fitted pants held up by a white belt with a silver buckle, a pair of white shoes with the tops silver-colored and folded down and silver chains attached to the front, white gloves with a fancy heart-shaped design on the back, and a white headband with a white hat with curling silver designs on one side and a silver-colored ribbon around it sewn onto it.

## Personality

Kyiki seems to be the group's "theatrical" personality type. Unlike other Wonderworldians, he does not speak in constant rhyme. This could be due to his mother being full on human instead of a Wonderlandian like his father. Even though he is next in line for the position of the don of a mafia, Kyiki doesn't fit the image of a mafia member. He seems to be both very emotionally sensitive but also very passionate about anything that he loves whether it be a hobby or just something he likes.

## History

Kyiki was born to Lance, the former Maestro of Wonderworld and the Balan Theater, and Asami Hashimoto, a young woman who longed to be a movie director but was unfortunately born blind. When she at first fell in love with Lance, she didn't know he was a Wonderlandian and merely thought of him as a fellow human. When her eyesight becomes restored, she is at first shocked but later saves Lance from the Negati, then marries and conceives a child with him: Kyiki. Kyiki never got to know his father Lance due to the assumption that he could never leave Wonderworld (which turned out to be false), and he was raised by his mother, grandfather, and the other members of the Sea Snake Mafia. He sometimes went to Wonderworld as a child, seeing his visits there as merely "dreams" but over time forgot about them entirely. He also always watched his mother's movies (which were actually the worlds from Wonderworld itself), and wanted to become a movie director just like her. During his elementary and middle school years, he was bullied for being "different", such as telling others about his "dreams" of Wonderworld or whenever he would cry "drops" would come out instead of actual tears. He became a fan of the Phantom Thieves after finding one of Yuki Kitagawa's books about their adventures in the Metaverse in Ramune's cafe.

## Happy Kiss!

In *Happy Kiss* , Kyiki appears in a flashback of Ata along with the rest of the Battle Lovers. In this one, Ata, Kyotaro, and Ryoma are shown as children playing in a park when Yumoto Hakone takes their picture. Yumoto comments that the three of them were covered in mud, but that was fine because his brother (Gora) always said that children should get dirty. Later, he hands them the photograph he took along with three coupons for Kurotama. Kyiki walks away with the rest of the Battle Lovers. It is also found out that Kyiki has married Yumoto Hakone and has become a movie director, based on the movie that Happy Kiss sees which is called "Silver World of Ringing Bells".

## Quotes

"*What is wrong, my dear? You have been shedding so many tears..."*- Kyiki when he is comforting a crying little girl.

## Etymology

* Kyiki's surname **Hashimoto** is a Japanese name meaning "base of bridge", from hashi meaning "bridge" and moto meaning "base".
	+ This could emphasize Kyiki's element "Snow", which in battle is sometimes used to create bridges or platforms of ice.

## Trivia

* He is half-human and half Wonderworldian.
* He dislikes Goya and coriander due to having a unique sense of taste.
* He likes playing hockey, which had foreshadowed his element in the series.
* Even though he was never taught the actual language, Kyiki will sometimes slip into Wonderworldian speech patterns.
* He has many manuscripts and storyboards in his bedroom containing his movie ideas.
* He shares many similarities and differences with the Persona Q2 character **Hikari**:
	+ They both had a parent absent from their lives.
	+ They both desired to be just like their live-in parent occupation wise.
	+ They were both bullied and traumatized by both children and adults for their differences.
* Kyiki's tears can become drops once they have fallen. This could have been a reason for why he was bullied, although he doesn't exactly explain this to the other Battle Lovers except Yumoto, Seto/Uta, and Wombat.
