History:
Basic info

Kyoko spent most of her life trying to make everyone around her happy. Her mother was the most important to begin with, although her mother never showed any care for her. She dropped her off for months with neighbors and the few times they did talk, she spent criticizing Kyoko for everything from not earning perfect scores on schoolwork, to being too needy. (Some translations even say her mother called her stupid if she did not receive 100% on her schoolwork and grew angry when Kyoko tried to touch her). Her mother is later revealed to have terrible interpersonal skills and an unfortunate background with Kyoko's biological father.

Kyoko also spent a good part of her time trying to please Shotaro and his parents who took her in when her mother couldn't be bothered to care for her. From her hard work for Sho's parents she learned a great deal about the high end service industry of Japanese Inns. How to please a customer, keep a smile on your face even when you were deathly ill and how to cook like a pro.

She ran away to Tokyo with Sho (her childhood friend and first love Shotaro) so that he could start a career in show business instead of having to settle down to the boring life of running an inn. He asked her to join him and she followed blindly glad that he asked her instead of one of his screaming fans. It turns out, he just wanted a maid. She overheard him talking about how he only brought her along to serve him, and he didn't care that she had to quit school and work her fingers to the bone to support him and now that he didn't need her anymore he was dumping her. Kyoko snapped and has vowed revenge on Sho and joined show business.

Her current main rivals are Sho Fuwa (singer/former friend and love interest), Ren Tsuruga (an actor whom she is growing to like more than she is comfortable with) and Kanae Kotonami (reluctant best friend/actress). And this creep from a band called Vie Ghoul who went as far as almost raping her to get to Sho who ended up saving her. That guy's name is Reino and he can see spirits including the tiny grudge spirits that Kyoko produces when her emotions run high.  He's taken hostages before.

Kyoko keeps growing as an actress, impressing those she works with and enjoying acting for herself as opposed to for her revenge (though that would be nice icing on the cake).  Because of her lack of love she was hired into the newly created department at LME called the 'Love Me' section who's job it is to make people love them.  They have to wear a horrible hot pink jumpsuit and do gopher work. 


Personality:
The new Kyoko has a very short temper, a very competitive spirit and is a little desperate for a real friend.  At the start of manga, Kyoko lost the ability to love that has been devoured by a strong desire for vengeance. Kyoko is a woman driven. She'll do anything to get what she wants, and her obsessive compulsive need to win or do the best is now a full fledged singleminded desire to take anyone who looks down on her and rub their faces in the dirt until they grovel at her feet for mercy.  She doesn't run from a fight and has the tenacity to really be a thorn in someone's side (or a really creepy voice outside their window) when she puts her mind to it.

Kyoko still has a naïve side, she's only seventeen and she has always loved princess and fairy stories like Cinderella where the poor girl in rags turns into a beautiful princess, marries a wonderful prince and everyone in the kingdom loves her. Her hobbis include looking at cosmetics (she can't afford them but she wants to some day!) and making curse dolls that look like the people she hates. She can't afford real curse dolls so she sews them herself with great detail. It has a calming effect and sometimes she'll use them to act out scenes of her vengeance or to bully herself into doing better. Kyoko has a weakness for all things fantastic. She sometimes drifts into her own private Lala land thinking about faries and elves.  She seems to genuinely think Reino is a demon from hell which leads to hilarious interactions. 

As she grows as an actress, Kyoko is also learning to express different emotions and in general, is growing as a person.  She has a soft spot for Ren who she looks up to as the epitome of a great actor and adores Moko (Kanae Kotonami).
