Kiriya (キリヤ Kiriya?) (Kirea in the English dub, and known by the alias Irizawa Kiriya (入澤キリヤ Irizawa Kiriya?) when disguised as a human) is one of the villains from the Dotsuku Zone in Futari wa Pretty Cure, who guards the yellow Prism Stone. He disguises himself as a freshman student at the boys' school of Verone Academy, and is talented at soccer.

Bio[]

Appearance[]

Kiriya has dark green hair and pale skin. His eyes are blue as a member of the Dotsuku Zone and green when disguised as a human. He wears a dull orange shirt and black shorts. He also wears the yellow Prism Stone on his neck.

Personality[]

Kiriya is rather serious and pessimistic, as he doubts his ability to change his destiny. He has been shown to tease the other residents of the Dotsuku Zone.

However, after getting to know both Nagisa and Honoka, Kiriya begins to change his perspective, and eventually finds hope and faith in the Cures before he perishes.

Relationships[]

  • Yukishiro Honoka: He is seen interacting with Honoka the most. Although it is unknown how they feel about each other, it is shown that he looks up to her and eventually grows to care about her. Their relationship is most like a brother and sister.
  • Poisony: Kiriya and his sister have a somewhat antagonistic relationship, often being shown teasing and taunting one another. Despite this, when she dies, Kiriya is shown to be terribly upset.

Etymology[]

Kiriya (キリヤ?): Likely derived from "treachery" (裏切り uragiri?), which he engages in during the story. "Kiriya" is also a Japanese name, but the lack of kanji used in his name makes it difficult to derive meaning from.

Irizawa (入澤?): "Iri" (?) means to enter or insert, while "Zawa" (?) means swamp. Put together the name means entering a swamp. Irizawa and the similar Irisawa are also used as Japanese surnames.

History[]

Futari wa Pretty Cure[]

Working for the Evil King[]

Kiriya and Poisony

Kiriya was created by the Evil King to do his bidding, whatever it may be. Somehow, he was created in a way that made him the younger brother of another minion, Poisony. Kiriya is first introduced, alongside the other members of the Dotsuku Zone, insulting Pisard for his failures.FwPC04

After Gekidrago is defeated,FwPC11 Poisony, Kiriya's older sister, is the next one to confront Nagisa and Honoka, during which time he decides to infiltrate Verone Junior High School to spy on the girls for the Dotsuku Zone. However, when he first starts to interact with Pretty Cure in their civilian forms, he is surprised to see how Honoka is the only girl until that point to not be swayed by his good looks.FwPC13

Becoming Human[]

A member from the soccer club he joins asks around for help on his grandparent's farm, which he accepts. While on the farm, however, he does not understand why it is so important to help others, and instead lays down. Honoka, who works with him, scolds him and explains why one should help others. She pushes him to try harder, making him silently angry. However, when he falls while pushing the wheelbarrow and gets a cut on his finger, Honoka cares for him and helps him put a bandage on it. At the end of the day, when everything is finished, Kiriya still thinks about the kind things Honoka said to him when Poisony appears. Realizing that he is starting to think like a human, he agrees to help his sister to defeat Pretty Cure. While keeping a wall separating Cure White and Cure Black, he watches as Cure White gets tortured by Poisony's Zakenna, and accidentally weaken the wall when watching her determination to protect the Garden of Light. Cure Black gets inside and saves her, and after the battle, Kiriya sees how Cure White is kind even to insects.FwPC17

Being the target of many young girls' crushes, Kiriya is confused about what love is, eventually asking Honoka for advice. She gives him that, but hearing the day after that the person who encouraged a crushing girl to confess her love to him was Honoka herself, Kiriya rips the love letter to pieces in anger. Honoka confronts him afterward about his attitude, but he yells at her and tells her how she does not think about his feelings at all, despite all the confusion he is going through with human emotions. Realizing her mistake, Honoka apologizes and walks back to her classroom with Nagisa just as they get transported to another dimension by Poisony. While having a test, Kiriya thinks about the confrontation and, knowing that Poisony is winning over Pretty Cure, anonymously saves them before they get killed. After school, he apologizes to the girl from earlier, who tells him that it is okay. He is surprised by her reaction, though they do not interact more from then on.FwPC18

When Poisony eventually decides to fight with all her power. Kiriya talks to Honoka on her way to Nagisa. He notices a perfume she made during science club lesson, and though Honoka is surprised he knows the flavors she put on, he mumbles that Honoka does not need perfume to be like her. Realizing what he said, he shrugs it off when she asks him, and leaves. Back at the Dotsuku Zone later, he feels Poisony's life being drained. He tells llkubo that he chooses to live by following the Evil King, but cries alone as he watches his sister's life force going into the Evil King.FwPC20

Kiriya, having made his decision to follow his destiny as a descendant of the Dotsuku Zone, tells Honoka who he really is, and tells her to come with Nagisa to fight him. When they meet up, the girls try to talk him out of it, knowing his kind side, but he refuses and attacks them. While they fight, Kiriya realizes his feelings for Honoka, and with her encouraging words that he can change his destiny, gives her his Prism Stone. However, this gesture makes him a traitor to the Evil King, and Ilkubo appears immediately to take him away to meet his fate. Knowing that he did all he could, he accepts it without a fight, despite Cure White's desperate cries.FwPC21

Aftermath[]

He is believed to have been killed by either Ilkubo or the Evil King, but his defeat caused sadness for both the girls, and Honoka is revealed to be depressed about him having perished the whole night following the event.FwPC22 She is still guilty about his death the rest of the year, and when being asked if she had any guy she was interested in, she was awake half the night thinking about him.FwPC40

He is mentioned during Verone Junior High School's Christmas party by Kimata and Fujimura Shougo, as they are annoyed that he left without any notice. Unknown to them, this brings back hurtful memories in Honoka, depressing her. He returns shortly in a dimensional rift after a battle to warn Pretty Cure about a future fight. Cure White tries to stop him from leaving again, but is too late.FwPC44.

During the final fight on the Dotsuku Zone, Kiriya reveals himself before Pretty Cure when saving them and helps them hide from the Evil King. He tries to get them to stay hiding, but they surprise him by wanting to fight despite the odds. He eventually lets them fight, and is surprised when they eventually become the winners. However, as he was made by the Evil King, upon his defeat, he also vanishes. As he does so, he believes that there is hope and a possibility to change one's destiny. He has decided for a place he wants to be, but disappears before he can say it out loud.

While Nagisa and Honoka walk home from school, Honoka spots a young boy who has a very similar look to Kiriya, though it turns out that this boy has human parents and is happy with them. Neither does he seem to recognize them, though he stares at Honoka's eyes for a long time. Seeing the boy walk away, Honoka sadly wonders if they will ever see each other again, which Nagisa assures, saying that they are all under the same big sky.FwPC49
