History:

Taking Kyousuke from Episode 8, so history will only be up till that point.

- The series began with Kyousuke being a plain, simple, average, normal, mundane, insert other words for ordinary here, seventeen-year-old high school male with an average life.
- He stumbled upon an anime DVD case in his own home, where none of his family members could possibly have purchased it. This is important because otakus are despised in Japanese society.
- After some investigating he discovered that it belongs to his younger sister Kirino, and ends up being involved in her (not so) well-hidden secret - the fact that she was a closet otaku - when she asks for 'life counselling' from him.
- Through this, he learned more about his sister, whom he had mostly not bothered with since she would previously simply ignore him. They also ironed out certain details, including the decision that there was no way they could tell their parents about her hobby because of their father's no-nonsense attitude and general disgust for otaku.
- He was also forced by Kirino to play some of her eroge and watch some of her anime, but he eventually got tired of being forced to play and watch what doesn't particularly interest him, and so suggested for Kirino to make fellow otaku friends. He later found an online forum for otaku girls, from which Kirino is later invited to a real-life meeting for otaku girls.
- She dragged Kyousuke with her to this meeting, having been nervous since it was her first time. There, Kyousuke experienced being a customer of a maid cafe while Kirino became friends with the meeting organizer, Saori, and 'frienemies' with the goth-loli-obsessed otaku girl by the handle name of Kuroneko, and would meet up with the two of them often in the days to come.
- Some time later, Kyousuke returned home from an attempted move by his childhood friend Manami to get closer to him romantically (though he would not realize this, dense as he is) to find out that Kirino's secret was discovered by her father.
- Having decided to help Kirino, he confronted their father about it, justifying her hobby as something that gave her friends, as weird as it may be, together with the help of their mother who produced Kirino's awards and his father's photo album which contained many photos of Kirino from various magazines she had modelled for.
- While satisfied by this justification, their father was however unable to ignore the fact that Kirino had pornographic material within her collection. To this, Kyousuke helped Kirino by falsely claiming ownership to owning the eroge collection, thus earning their father's wrath and a blow to his face.
- Because of this, Kirino began to have more respect for Kyousuke, and thanked him, even addressed him as 'Aniki' when she had never addressed him appropriately before. It would also in turn have Kirino force Kyousuke to play even more of her inappropriate games, such as one fighting game named 'Siscalypse'.
- Later, a package from Saori marked to be cosmetics that really contained pornographic doujinshi arrived, while Kirino's friends from being a model (as well as her classmates) would just happen to be visiting.
- Fortunately, Saori called to inform them about it - though perhaps a little too late; Kirino had already brought the box into her room, and had just been about to open it when Kyousuke bust into the room, having answered the call, grabbed the box and ran back out, thus prompting the unknowing Kirino to chase after him.
- This would no doubt end with her catching up with him (seeing as she's an overperformer in track and field while he's just. nothing.), but with them tumbling into a pile together, with Kyousuke ending up atop of Kirino in the end, with a hand on her breast. As if that wasn't enough, Kirino's two guests, Ayase and Kanako, ended up witnesses to the scene.
- As a result of this, Kyousuke would be forced out of the house by Kirino, no doubt his credibility brought crashing to the earth as a result.
- Kyousuke ends up exchanging contact information with Ayase after that, when she calls him back in, appearing to have understood his reasons behind his actions.
- Soon came summer, and with it, one of the largest otaku events of the year: Summer Comiket. Kirino once again dragged Kyousuke along with her to it, and met Saori and Kuroneko there.
- Unexpectedly, Ayase was somehow at the venue, and caught sight of Kirino and Kyousuke together there. Through this, Ayase discovered Kirino's hobby, and Kyousuke also discovered Ayase's violent streak. Ayase would also tell Kirino that they could no longer be friends at the end of this encounter.
- Having known that Kirino was secretly hurt inside from having lost her best friend despite the fact that she wore a smile, Kyousuke helped the two friends make up, while also using some help from his father, who gathered information for this purpose.
- They eventually made up when Kyousuke pretended to love his little sister in a romantic fashion, since Ayase had still been uncertain due to the indecent sis-con doujin she had seen in Kirino's possession before. Because of this, Ayase showed her violent side again, and threatened Kyousuke not to touch her before running away with Kirino, this time clearly having made up with the girl completely.
- Later, closer to Halloween, Kyousuke's childhood friend, Manami, planned to celebrate Halloween by setting up a fair with Western sweets being given away (as her family runs a sweet shop), and invites Kyousuke to her house to try the sweets she made, before the fair itself.
- While Kirino somehow successfully obtained a dakimakura despite her mother's initial confrontation for the reason behind the purchase, Kyousuke accepted Manami's invitation, and accompanied Manami to her family's sweet store, and eventually her house.
- There, the pair of childhood friends were teased by Manami's grandparents about their closeness, and were advised to get married soon. This caused them both to be deeply embarrassed, and Manami dragged Kyousuke upstairs to her room to avoid more of her grandparents' comments.
- In her room, Kyousuke soon spoke up about the event preparations, and decided to help out for the event preparations, if only with carrying things into the house. At the end of the day, he would also sleep over at her house for the night.
- That night, they reminsced about their childhood days, when they could sleep together as children without feeling awkward. That night itself, Manami also told Kyousuke that she would go to the same university as Kyousuke.
- Some time later, Kyousuke would return home to find Kuroneko sitting on a lounge chair, visiting so she could watch both their favorite anime together while their parents were out. During Kuroneko's entire visit, the two girls argued with one another endlessly.
- The next day, Kyousuke was forced to review Kirino's new novel about an astronaut who winds up on a planet filled with little sisters, and she had also submitted this novel in a website for a book publisher. Eventually, he is dragged to Shibuya with her to start writing a next new novel, on Christmas Eve.
- Various things happened there, including his being forced to purchase a pair of heart-shaped earrings, and they end up in a hotel so Kirino can get freshened up and changed, since Kirino got herself drenched while trying to experience for herself a scene she intends to write in her novel.
- This novel that she wrote later received plenty of recognition by guests, and was chosen by a studio to be made into an anime series. At the studio, the production staff had completely different ideas from Kirino as for how her anime would be done, and at the end of the day she fainted when she got home, much to the alarm of Kyousuke.
- As a result of this, Kyousuke decided to intervene, and eventually went far enough to meet with the production team itself with Kuroneko and Saori. There, the producer harshly criticized Kirino's work, and left Kyousuke speechless. Fortunately, Kuroneko spoke up, her sharp tongue stabbing onto multiple raw nerves, be it the producer's, the team's, or Kyousuke's, in the topics she brought up.
- With that, Kyousuke managed to speak up as well, and pleaded sincerely and shamelessly for the team to reconsider the conditions and changes made to Kirino's novel, and was agreed with by Kuroneko, who also pleaded together with him. All that said, they could only leave at the end of it all, with the decisions up to the production team to debate on.
- The next day, Kirino, unaware of what her brother and friends had done for her, received a summary of contents of her novel's anime adaptation... with many of her ideas kept in the project.

Personality: To be entirely honest, there's really not much to say about Kyousuke; he's plain and boring. That's all there is to him.







Okay, I'm just kidding. Kyousuke might appear to be plain, boring, mundane, ordinary, insert other words for normalcy here, but he's really a good person with a heart of gold - someone who would help his friends and family out to the very best of his abilities, even if it meant sacrificing something important to himself in the process.

He's a - surprisingly perhaps - courageous person, especially when it came to helping out others. While others might think twice about confronting a no-nonsense, serious-business high ranking police officer of a father, he did just that, when defending his sister Kirino, going so far as to falsely claim ownership of some questionable material, when he knew fully well how badly his father would react to it if he did so.

Kyousuke is also quite the responsible person; though he didn't really like Kirino much, largely due to the way she treated him and ignored him before, he never hesitated when it came to bailing her out from all sorts of situations, even throwing away his own pride and destroying others' initially-pleasant impression of him to do just that. Everything for the little sister he doesn't even like. For that sister who, when suffering, would sometimes secretly make him happy, thinking that she deserved to be taken a notch from time to time.

Of course, no person is perfect; Kyousuke certainly has his own set of flaws. When it comes to girls, he's as dense as a rock: throughout the series, he was painfully unaware his childhood friend Manami's feelings advances on him, alongside the affection of the unlikely Kuroneko. He's also stupidly stubborn, enough to constantly think that Kirino still hates his very presence, even when she has shown to slowly warmed up to him as the series proceeded.

All in all, Kyousuke could be said to be your run of the mill male protagonist; he gets the girls (even if he doesn't realize it), he faces the bosses (or at least his dad) with courage, and he'll do whatever it takes to help others out. That's just who he is.

Other: nothing of note at the moment

First Person (entry type): [journal entry] (referring to events in episode 2)

Yet again. Kirino went ahead and forced me to play another one of her games again. Ugh, it's so annoying to have to deal with her all the time, and this secret of hers! Doesn't she have friends to do these things with?!

Come to think of it... That might just be the problem! She's a model and a track and field ace, so her friends from school and her modeling job can't possibly be otakus like her, right?!

So that's why!

... But I still can't stand having to play these things! The content is questionable, and what if my parents walked in on me while I was playing it?! I'd just die as a member of society on the spot! And if it was my dad, I'd LITERALLY die!

Third Person: (Prompt: Disaster Cooking)

It started off with nothing more than an innocent invitation to dinner by this brunette girl...

But not for long; Kyousuke soon found himself staring down at something closely resembling spring chicken... except it's somehow green. A gel-like.

'What the heck is this?!' came the clearly resounding thought in his mind, as he quickly considered his options here, seeing as the brunette was looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to begin his meal. 'I can't just refuse to eat it since I'm already here, and I might just die if I eat it...! What do I do?!'

"Uh... [insert her name here]-san... What's this?" he'll question awkwardly, beads of perspiration quickly forming on his forehead with each passing moment.

"It's chicken, of course! It's my special ******* ******** chicken recipe!" she'll answer, clueless of how frightening her cooking is even now.

'******* *********?! No wonder it looks like green jelly!' He swallowed hard, "I... I see..." and turned back to the odd green jelly chicken. 'Ugh... There's no telling if I'll die unless I try it anyway!'

And then came the moment of judgement! He picked up a spoon, scooped up a good portion of the jelly, and stuffed it in his mouth without any further hesitation.

'What--- What's this?! It doesn't even taste anything like *******, *********, or even chicken!...' That last thought formed just as he collapsed, as his system overloaded from the sheer explosion of mystery tastes in his mouth.
