Shouko Kirishima (霧島 翔子 Kirishima Shouko) is a supporting character in the Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu series. She is Class 2-A's Representative at Fumizuki Academy. She is currently the number one student of the whole Fumizuki Academy. She's also the childhood friend of Yuuji Sakamoto as well as his self-proclaimed "wife".

About

Shouko & Yuuji

Shouko and Yuuji have been childhood friends since they were in 5th grade. Shouko developed feelings for Yuuji ever since she first met him. She liked how he didn't treat anybody differently, he treated everyone the same no matter who they were, and since she is from a well known family, everyone treated her differently, but not Yuuji. She promised Yuuji's mother that she'll marry Yuuji when she gets older.

Throughout the series, Shouko shows a deep affection towards Yuuji, and whoever gets close to him she will use "scissors" and poke his eyes, or shocks him. She also gets very jealous. During one incident, when Akihisa sends Yuuji a slightly profane message, she attacked Yuuji for being unfaithful.

Her infatuation with Yuuji is the reason why she rejects all men who want to go out with her. Ironically, because of her over-protectiveness, Yuuji is usually too scared to return her affection. Even though being tricked multiple times (an example is the Taika Reform that happened in year 645 but she memorized it as year 625), she shows a trusting nature towards him and believes everything he says. She is a long-term thinker, and has decided on her children's names (Shouyu for a girl and Koshou for a boy) if she marries Yuuji. Also when someone insults Yuuji, she'll get sad.

Don't you dare...

Her different attitude from her child age is probably to make her not harrying Yuuji anymore, as she also feels responsible for Yuuji's changed status and personality

Abilities

Shouko is very beautiful (Yamato Nadeshiko type) as many boys asks her out. Also she is extremely smart as she is the top student of her year (Yuuji once said when she remembers something, she will not forget it for the rest of her life), but she is hopeless with electronic gadgets and will spoil any of it that fell into her hands (except for tasers). An example is in the novels when she brings one that contains Yuuji's supposed voice (faked by Hideyoshi) proposing to her and claims its 'normal music'.

Shouko too has demonstrated inhuman strength if Yuuji was found to be "unlovable and unfaithful" as well as incredible speed which is demonstrated when she uses it to chase Yuuji while wielding a nail bat as her weapon of choice at the same time.

Appearance

Shouko has long flowing violet hair (referred as black in the novels) styled in a hime cut give that she's an ojou (Japanese term for a rich female) that she runs down all the way to her waist. She is also seen with two small ribbons on each side of her hair. Shouko also has stated to Yuuji that she has C-cupped sized breasts during the pool-cleaning session.She has huge raven eyes, and mostly wears a serious face but is beautiful.

Shoukanjuu

Her Shoukanjuu is clad in a samurai armor and wields a chokutō.

Plot Overview

She is one of the main characters in the plot of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, but only appears slightly in all of the episodes (except during when the story revolves around her date with Yuuji at the Kisaragi Grand Park). She is the soft-spoken person in the anime. She is also in possession of the marriage contract that Yuuji owned, but due to him being underage (he is 17 in the anime), the marriage contract was rejected in the civil register. She purposely lost in the test showdown with Akihisa because she actually got what she wanted (the marriage contract given by Kouta) and withdrawn from the tournament after Yuuji (marionette by Akihisa and voiced by Hideyoshi) told her that he will propose to her if she lost the tournament.

Shook playing Aki's "game" with Yuuji

When the group goes to the pool Yoshii tricks Shouko into playing Water Devil* with Yuuji.

Water devil is when one person drags another under the water till they lose consciousness and then drag them up to the shore and give them mouth to mouth.

Trivia

• Shouko said to Yuuji that their daughter name will be Shōyuu (soy sauce), a combination of Yuuji and Shouko and their son name will be Koshō (pepper), an inverted name of Shouko.
• Her given name Shouko means "Soaring/Flying Child", a reference to her being the smartest in her year, while her surname Kirishima mean "Island of Fog".
• Shouko is an unlockable character in Baka Test Shoukanjuu Portable
• Like many other anime girls (and some guys), Shouko entered Saimoe Contests.
• She was neglected as a child which is why she became so attached to Yuuji because he was the only one who really payed any attention to her.
