Kazuo Kiriyama Luv-luv

~Kiriyama steals a glance~

Well it was only a matter of time before I gave in to my adoration of #6 Kazuo Kiriyama and created a shrine to the scruffy psychopath of BR. Why I hear you cry does Kiriyama appeal to so many people? Well according to his leading status (presently) in my poll it is his sexiness that makes him a fan favourite. I'd have to agree-- Masanobu Ando is a fine piece of yum-yum. I've gathered a mini bio of him further down this page and a filmography so you can enjoy him in other films.

But as for Kiriyama's appeal--well it can also be attributed to the sheer scale of his a$$ kicking in the film and the enigmatic mystery surrounding him. Even Kawada seems to know little of our favourite Katana-wielder.

As he says in the clinic-- "He signed up for fun."

This is a chilling insight into the kind of player Kiriyama is and the sentiment is only backed up by the range of creative ways he disposes with the other students.
