Kirie Kanoe

Kirie Kanoe 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. 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. 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.
