[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krkyoki.png]]
* TheAce: In his debut episode, he pretty much did everything in school.
* ButtMonkey: Kyosuke may be an ace and a cheating jerk, but even he gets the short end of the stick at times, ranging from the video chat with his mother to cleaning toilets as punishment and being forced by Hibiki to re-enroll back to school when he initially dropped out.
* ExactWords: After critiquing the English teacher’s pronunciation, he challenges him to a reading competition. In French.
* FreudianExcuse: His desire to follow in Hibiki’s footsteps stems from a desire to surpass his father, who died in a firefighting accident when Kiriya was a child.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: He barely keeps up in the training, but eventually becomes a fully fledged Oni.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For how much of a cheater he can be at times and how abrasive he is with Asumu and several others, Kyosuke does actually care about them and tries his best to be earnest and develop as a person. Case in point, towards the end of the series, he gets upset with Asumu for wanting to drop out of being an Oni apprentice for what he believed was something more "childish", to the point of still unforgiving him a year later, Kyosuke still finds Asumu to be an impressive individual after they saved Hitomi.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** His critique of the English teacher’s pronunciation isn’t entirely unwarranted. One would expect a language teacher to have good pronunciation in his subject language.
** Similarly, his criticisms of Akira and Asumu in episode 36 basically call them out on not staying focused on their shared goal of becoming an Oni, accusing them of not taking it seriously.
* MommasBoy: His mother once showed up in video chat on his TV, embarassing the heck out of him, especially with his medications brought up.
* TheRival: To Asumu, especially once he experiences the battles of the Oni.
* SpoiledBrat: Has plenty of belonging an lived in a luxurious house.
* WhatTheHellHero: His scheme of having him and Asumu compete to be Akira's apprentice ended with her being endangered. The adults ended up aggressively calling him and Asumu out for that reckless action.
