Kirie Kanoe (庚 霧江, Kanoe Kirie) is a student of Seikyou Academy and the granddaughter of Yukariko Kanoe (Yuuko Kanoe's younger sister), making Kirie a relative of Yuko's. Despite this Yuko only indirectly mentions her once as a relative. Initially a girl who warns Teiichi Niiya about Seikyou's famous ghost, she joins the Paranormal Investigation Club to understand more about Yuuko.

Appearance[]

Kanoe Kirie (anime)

Kirie's full body and facial expressions

Kirie possesses an uncanny resemblance to Yuuko Kanoe, although Kirie has her hair much shorter than Yuuko's hair. She also has an athletic physical build, although she is insecure to Yuuko's comparatively large breasts.

Personality[]

Initially, Kirie shows a tomboyish behavior, showing off a confident attitude that is not swayed by the opinions of others. However, her tough facade can be easily torn down when she encounters frightening things. This side of her is much more vulnerable than her more confident side, but she manages to gain the respect of others, including Momoe Okonogi's, nonetheless. She is also jealous of Yuuko Kanoe and how Teiichi Niiya treats her, she will often think about growing her hair long, which makes her look like Yuuko. It is unknown if Yuuko fails to acknowledge Kirie because of Kirie's own doing.

Plot[]

Spirited Away[]

Kirie meets up with Teiichi Niiya to warn him about the ghost of Seikyou Academy, and she tells him of the story of "Spirited Away", which tells of a ghost who takes away the hearts of people whom it interacts with. She then reveals her intentions to save Teiichi from Yuuko Kanoe after seeing her "true form" and believing that no spirit will do no harm to the living.

Although she was successful in influencing how Teiichi sees Yuuko, Kirie's plan was foiled and her vulnerable side is exposed when she tried to explore the room where Yuuko's remains are. Kirie also discovers that what she believed in were warped truths, and apologizes to Teiichi before leaving. Unknown to Yuuko and Teiichi, Kirie encountered something more grisly than Yuuko's "true" form on her way out.

Kirie soon became active in helping Teiichi in investigating cases involving Yuuko, although not considering herself to be a member of the Paranormal Investigation Club until much later.

Etymology[]
