* The reason Kiriyama lost? lost in the novel? He's an EmptyShell. He wasn't even trying.
* The movie version of Kiriyama lacks the backstory of his novel counterpart that establishes him as someone who can master anything he tries instantly. So why does he still rack up a large kill count? It's noted that he ''volunteered'' to participate in The Program. He likely trained beforehand in order to be as deadly as possible. There's also the fact that he's a complete stranger to the rest of the class and has no camaraderie with any of them, so psychopathy aside he has no hang-ups gunning down everyone in his path, regardless of their threat level or attempts to rebel against The Program (as Shinji tragically found out). The deck is actually stacked in his favor quite a bit.
* That The Program would let someone volunteer to participate actually makes perfect sense. There's the ever present possibility that the kids selected for their game may not be willing to kill each other in large enough numbers for a clear winner to emerge, and some students may chose to rebel against The Program entirely (like Shinji or Kawada). Adding someone like Kiriyama keeps everyone occupied with a threat that isn't anyone directly connected to The Program.
