## Appearance

Kyou is one of the shortest students within the Hope Restoration Project, standing at 5'1". He has parted light pink hair, with two ahoges protruding from the middle of his head. In addition to this, he has purple eyes, and wears a square digital eyeglass over his left eye.

His outfit consists of a large purplish-black jacket, a pair of light blue pants, and a pair of short white and black boots. Across his outfit are numerous straps; two circle around his shoulders, and then across his chest, while another pair rest against his legs. Another set of straps wrap around his boots. His jacket zips up to the top of his neck.

Throughout the killing game, Kyou carries around a purple tablet with an unidentified symbol on the back.

## Official Description

> "Kyou is a little bit complicated, at first he tends to seem rude an uncooperative. He interrupts others often, brags about his talent, and makes insensitive jokes and comments. Despite this, Kyou means well, he doesn't really mean anything by the foolish things he says and does, he's just awkward and really bad at doing the right thing. He genuinely tries his hardest to help out during investigations, specifically with Reiko. Kyou's talent was discovered after a few large scale pranks of his ending up getting the attention of the government. He (allegedly) turned to ethical hacking after that. Though he'd still like people to think he's a really cool cyber-criminal." **- Official Profile**
