Kyou Fujibayashi is one of the main characters of the Clannad anime and games.
The loud and aggressive Class Representative of 3-E, Kyou has known both Tomoya and Sunohara since their junior year, when she was their classmate and class representative. As she is known for being overprotective of both Botan and her sister Ryou, she is known for literally throwing the book at Tomoya and Sunohara. She proved to be a very popular character in the anime, resulting in a spinoff episode that showed what would have happened if Tomoya had chosen her route instead of Nagisa's.
In the AWA fics, Kyou is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 13.
Appearance[]
Kyou Fujibayashi is a young woman with long, straight, violet hair that reaches her waist, and striking purple eyes. Two parts of her hair arch up, forming "hair arcs" that resemble the letter M, just like her twin sister Ryou.She also has bangs, two locks of hair framing her face, and large breasts (though hers are smaller than Kotomi's and Tomoyo's).
She also has a seemingly average physique. Like her sister Ryou, Kyou wears a ribbon-like hairpiece, but hers is on the left lock of hair, while Ryou wears it to the right. She and her sister can be distinguished by their eye color, as Kyou's eyes are purple, while her sister's are blue. Kyou also has longer hair than her sister, but somewhere in Clannad, she cuts her hair.
Personality[]
Kyou is a girl with a kind of deceptive personality. While she is quite blunt she never has a bad intention towards anyone.
Kyou is very communicative, and can be kind, supportive and caring, which makes her a surprisingly good friend. She is very decisive and reliable, which makes her seem like an older sister to everyone.
Combined with her aggressiveness, Kyou's personality makes her more popular with girls than with guys, which she is upset about. Kyou is the kind of person to never get bored with, as she always has something to talk about. The girls in school call her "Kyou-sama" (which translates to "Miss Kyou" or "Lady Kyou" in English), make banners about her, and follow her around at times.
She also likes joking, sometimes kind of indecently. She is the older one among the Fujibayashi twins, her younger sister is Ryou, her love for whom (as a sister) breaks the limits of one's imagination (and it's not only Ryou who she loves that much, which is implied in Kyou's route in the VN), from which comes her careness of Ryou.
She was Tomoya's class representative in their second year, and has maintained a steady friendship with Tomoya even though they are put in different classes on their third year, remaining one of the few female students who don't mind talking to him.
Like her sister, Ryou, Kyou is a class representative and a third year in the Hikarizaka Private High School. She is the class representative of class 3-E in Clannad, though she doesn't take this responsibility too seriously, and often violates the school rules.
Unlike Ryou, Kyou is a tomboy and an excellent cook, with her best course being pork cutlet.
Abilities[]
Kyou is a strong girl. Kyou is also pretty violent, she can throw books pretty hard and got some killer kick, she would even use her scooter to ram people who piss her off.
AWA Fanfics[]
Kyou knows a few wrestling moves.
Trivia[]
- In the AWA fics, Kyou is roommates with Mio Sakamoto and Minna-Dietlende Wilcke.
- Kyou resembles Kagami Hiiragi from Lucky☆Star. The two characters have very similar personalities, are intelligent, are mean and violent, are tomboys with purple hair, have long hair, are tsunderes, and both have a girly twin sister with shorter hair than them.
- Apart from that, Kyou resembles Yuiko Kurugaya from Key's next title after Clannad, Little Busters!. The resemblance lies in similar hairpieces in the left lock of hair, intellectual abilities(both characters have excellent intuition), the ability to violate the laws of physics and the character: both of the girls are easy interlocutors, both are seen as older sisters to surrounding people, both like jokes(and indecent ones as well), are fond of things they consider cute, like to do stuff they consider funny, both get fearsomely insane when someone makes them mad(yet Kurugaya gets mad way harder and recovers to her normal self faster) and they both show incredible amount of love towards those who are close to them. As if to top their similarity off, there is something like an easter egg between Clannad and LB!(yet it may be just a coincidence): in both VNs both heroines are first met by the protagonist on the same day of month(Kyou's first scene in Clannad takes place on 16th of April while Yuiko's first scene in LB! takes place on 16th of May).
- Her first name Kyou means Apricot.
- Her first name, Kyou, can also mean "strong", or "evil", relating to her unbelievable strength.
- Her profession as a kindergarten teacher in After Story is a reference to her voice actress, Ryo Hirohashi, who is also a licensed high school and middle school teacher in real life.
