Description

He is a genius who graduated from an American graduate school by skipping grades, and is living the student life in Japan for some reason. He usually talks with condescending attitude, but on the other hand, he's actually quite the coward, however, once he gets serious...? "An unfortunate hottie." While he longs for strength, he is devastatingly cowardly, which is why his right hand is wrapped in bandages as a symbol of two extremes - one where he pretends to be a martial artist who does it "so as not to hurt his fist" and the other where he makes the excuse that "by injuring it, he can't give it his all." He might just be suffering from though.

likes to scare Kiyoshiro.

Digimon Ghost Game
Kiyoshiro is a genius who was sent to study in the United States of America, where he met Emma Hanes and graduated from college at age 13. However, his desire to live a school life similar to that of anime led him to enroll at the Hazakura Private Academy, where he became the leader of the Hazakura Boys' Dormitory.

On October of his 8th grade year at Hazakura, he reminds Hiro Amanokawa and Kotaro Nomura of the time. When Hiro asks why Kiyoshiro wears bandages, his vague answer leads Kotaro to mistake him as a victim of the "". This gets Kiyoshiro alarmed and he screams at Kotaro for possibly jinxing him. He reminds Hiro of his duties and leaves. At night, Kiyoshiro talks to Hiro about the Sewn-lip Man's attack on Kotaro and gives the boy a talisman to protect him. Kiyoshiro also wears multiple talismans affirming he is not cursed. Two days later, after Hiro has his window fixed and Kotaro returns from the hospital, Kiyoshiro asks which type of glass Hiro ordered, vaguely warning him of many recent dangers. After Hiro asks him about it, Kiyoshiro denies seeing anything and runs away, visibly afraid of something. His behavior confuses the two boys.

On the day Hiro is helping Ruli Tsukiyono, Kiyoshiro asks about the reason he left class early and inquires about the Digivice -V-. As Hiro leaves, Kiyoshiro is desperate about his talismans no longer working.

When Espimon asks for help investigating the cause of his twisted arm, Kiyoshiro is preparing for a forum and insists he can't leave his room, annoying Jellymon. When Hiro and Ruli go see the Pierre Dream Circus, Kiyoshiro is unable to go because of the forum in Fukuoka. This leads to Jellymon quarreling with him because she insists they have to see the circus together. The two take a taxi, with Jellymon still angry at him and trying to drag Kiyoshiro.

Nine days after Manami Jinno's death, Kiyoshiro spends the entire night watching anime. The next day, at Ruli's request, the group goes to Kotoha Igashira's house investigate her claims about Manami's dead body moving at night. A scared Kiyoshiro is dragged by Jellymon to prevent his escape. In disbelief and fear, he begs to be allowed to go home. Despite his fear, he falls asleep at the house, and a group of Vilemon cause him to have a nightmare. When Toru Igashira arrives home, the group witnesses Manami moving. After the group is noticed by Manami, she absorbs energy from Toru, Kotoha, and Kiyoshiro, allowing the hidden inside Manami's body to revive itself as. A weakened Kiyoshiro watches the battle against ZeedMillenniummon, and is restored to normal after its defeat. He is alarmed by Hiro's decision to keep watch over a hybernating Moon=Millenniummon, in fear of these events repeating, but accepts Hiro's resolve they can solve the problem again if the need arises. The group watches as Toru mourns Manami.
