* Manga
* Anime

**Kimikage Mogami** (最上 君影 *Mogami Kimikage*) is a second year student at Mitoya High and the older twin brother of Suzuran Mogami.

## Appearance

Kimikage has long reddish purple hair pulled back into a single ponytail with straight cut bangs and has pink eyes.

## Personality

Kimikage is a very formal and old fashioned guy even speaking in old dialect and using the -dono suffix when addressing Seri Koyuki. He enjoyed playing with ohajiki as a child, and dislikes video games. He is also somewhat oblivious and cares deeply about how other people think of him. Kimikage also has masochistic tendencies that are focused on his current obsession, Seri Koyuki; as shown when Seri kicks him in the face, all he does is ask for him to punish him more. He goes to great lengths to get punishments from Seri, even trying to hid on a stair step so that Seri would step on his face again. Kimikage is the type to feel responsible, especially when things go wrong, and frequently takes the blame even when he hadn't done anything wrong. It is unknown if this is due to him genuinely believing he was the cause, or if it is an act of masochism and a cry for someone to punish him. He was somewhat of a crybaby as a child, but is now much more serious. Kimikage is also somewhat of a hypocrite, as he talks down to Hanadori Kabuto for having delusions and dressing weird when he does the same thing.

## History

Kimikage and Seri Koyuki were childhood friends in elementary school. They became friends due to Seri often stepping in when he was bullied, which in turn made Kimikage admire him. Seri mentions that they weren't especially close, but they often had moments of genuine connection as children, such as when he asked Kimikage to teach him how to play with ohajiki. They were also in the play, "The Red Oni Who Cried", with Kimikage playing the red oni and Seri playing the blue oni.

One day, when it was time for their class to do a urine test at school, Kimikage started to cry when he realized he had already gone to the bathroom and would not be able to produce a sample for the test. Seri told him not to worry, and gave him his own sample, saying that he had a plan. However, Seri was later told his results didn't make sense, leading Kimikage to believe that he had gotten urine from a dog behind the school. Seri claims he doesn't remember this and would never have done something like that, but it is unknown if it is because he is being genuine or lying out of embarrassment. Out of loyalty, Kimikage never said anything, but not long after, Seri moved away and transferred schools. Kimikage believed it was because he had shamed himself to save Kimikage from his own embarrassment, but it was actually due to Seri's father transferring locations at work.

## Relationships

### Seri Koyuki

Seri and Kimikage were good childhood friends. It is implied that because Kimikage did not have any other friends due to being bullied, he placed much more value on their friendship than Seri. He placed so much value on their relationship as a child in fact, that he thought that he was the reason that Seri moved away and transferred schools. Kimikage treats Seri with great respect and loyalty, even addressing him with the -dono suffix, something you would only address someone by if they were high status. Seri frequently avoids him, due to his masochistic obsession with being punished by Seri making him deeply uncomfortable. Kimikage frequently follows Seri around, and although Seri is often irritated by this, he seems to be less annoyed by him than he is by Utsugi Tsukimiya and Kabuto Hanadori, implying that he is on better terms with him or at least finds him more tolerable. Seri often steps in when fights escalate between Kimikage and others, which only makes Kimikage feel more loyal to him in return.

### Kabuto Hanadori

Kimikage and Hanadori have a deep dislike of each other, and often vie for Seri's attention. Kimikage often brushes Hanadori off as a "weirdo" and talks down to him often, making Hanadori very angry in return. He thinks Hanadori's delusions of being a destruction god are ridiculous, claiming he needs to grow up and stop acting so weird. Their delusions frequently clash, and view each other as rivals to be Seri's best friend. Hanadori is jealous of Kimikage and Seri's shared history and closeness as children, and Kimikage in return feels that Hanadori is annoying Seri and wants to make him leave them alone so that he will stop stealing Seri's attention. However, they aren't against working together when Seri's mental health is on the line, as they seemed to make a truce when Seri becomes so exhausted that he won't come to school. They were at least able to work together enough to split up Seri's work to help him meet his deadlines.
