Rei Kiriyama

Rei Kiriyama. A professional shogi player since middle school, orphaned young and taken in by a rival's family out of guilt. Withdrawn and anxious, he keeps his distance from everyone except the Kawamoto sisters, who slowly draw him out. Pale, thin, usually alone at the board. Far more loved than his edit count suggests. #801 of 1,152 with 829,866 views across 74 tracked edits. Quiet, melancholy, muted blues. Suits slice-of-life edits.
