Kyosuke Kiriya (Kamen Rider Hibiki)

Why do you even exist?

Kyosuke Kiriya is Hibiki's newest student, who is training to become an Oni alongside Asumu.

Why He Doesn't Enter The Rhythm

1. He is an annoying, obnoxious, overly competitive, and mean-spirited jerk.
2. He serves no purpose in the show other than to be Asumu's rival.
3. He tends to look down on others for little to no reason.
4. He never seems to get any kind of punishment for his actions.
5. No character development. In fact, when he does get character development it gets reverted and he's the same character he was at the start.
6. He is also very egotistical as he thinks that he knows everything.
7. It seems he never takes any criticism from others much like Kai Samezu and Misao Mondou.
8. And finally, to rub salt into the wound, he still got to become an Oni despite his terrible behavior in the show.

Redeeming Qualities

1. He reappeared on Kamen Rider Zi-O, where he was a much more mature and overall a much better character than he was in Hibiki.
2. He's nowhere near as bad as Ren Akamichi and Masato Kusaka.

Trivia

• Kyosuke Kiriya, was so despised that when his actor was cast as Yuto Sakurai in Kamen Rider Den-O, the Scrappydom passed to his new character before he had even made his debut!
• The Den-O tribute in Kamen Rider Zi-O made a fun little comment about how Kyosuke Kiriya and Yuto Sakurai is portrayed by the same actor after Sougo mistakes Yuto for Kyosuke in the 38th episode "2007: DenLiner Crash!"
