Kirika Akatsuki (暁 切歌 Akatsuki Kirika?) is one six main characters of the Senki Zesshō Symphogear series.

Initially introduced as an antagonist, Kirika later becomes one of the six protagonists of the series. She is a Symphogear user and wields the Igalima relic.

Etymology[]

Kirika (切歌?) - Means "Cutting Songs".

Akatsuki (?) - Means "Dawn".

Appearance[]

Kirika has green eyes and short blonde hair with an X-shaped clip on the left side of her bangs.

In G, She is most often seen wearing a black & green short-sleeved shirt with puffed-out sleeves that have white cross' on the side and a yellow three-layered ruffled skirt, black-and-white striped stockings, brown boots, and black and green arm-warmers and leg-warmers.

In GX, Kirika wears a black tank top with a white X across and a green short-sleeved hoodie with a black devil tail. She has light green shorts with black & green thigh-highs and a pair of black and green shoes.

For pajamas, Kirika wears a light green & white striped one-piece with three small buttons and a black lacy bra.

In AXZ, Kirika wears a light green and black high-collared top with a heart-shaped cutout on her chest and many angular cutouts on her sleeves. She has a pleated white skirt with a black belt and an extra strap around her left side. She also wears a pair of black & green, chaps-styled pants with loose green socks and black boots.

Personality[]

Kirika is a cheerful, sometimes childish, and upbeat girl, often seen as enthusiastic - especially when compared to Shirabe and Maria. She cares very much for her teammates and is willing to do whatever it takes to save humanity. Her relationship with Shirabe in particular borders on the romantic, and she is extremely protective of her. After falsely coming to believe that she was the reincarnation of Finé, Kirika became increasingly unhinged out of panic at the loss of her identity, to the extent that she's driven to attempt suicide when she realizes her mistake. She uses "death" (デス desu?) as her catchphrase.

Kirika has a habit of holding things, such as pillows and other people, when she sleeps.[6]

History[]

Kirika's past prior to becoming part of the Receptor Children is largely unknown. She is an orphan who doesn't know her own birthday.

Following the death of Ryōko Sakurai during season 1, the F.I.S. attempted to determine if Finé had resurfaced in any of the Receptor Children, but were unable to do so. They then planned to dispose of the project, but due to an armed uprising led by Nastassja — with the help of funding provided by the Bavarian Illuminati — the existence of the confined Receptor Children was brought to light. In fear of criticism from the international community, the US government quickly changed their tune and arranged for the children to be released of their own will or provided shelter. At this point, Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika joined with Nastassja and Dr. Ver in order to stop the fall of the Moon.

Kirika owns the Relic Igalima. As a candidate for the Symphogear, she has the ability to fight Noise with the use of the anti-Noise armour that clads her in battle. However, she requires LiNKER to do so.

Her Armed Gear is a green scythe capable of transforming into exotic edged weapons, which in its inactive form instead resembles a sickle. In addition to this, Igalima's four shoulder pauldrons can be used as rockets or grappling hooks.

Trivia[]

  • Kirika's battle song genre is symphonic rock.
  • Kirika uses Japanese and English language for her attack names. Many of her attacks are named after places and characters from different fairy tales.
    • The design of Kirika's Symphogear headgear is similar to a witch's hat.
  • Kirika and Shirabe's insert songs make a lot of reference to each other. Specifically:
    • "Singing the melody" (Original Japanese: Shirabe utau): 'Uta' ('to sing' or 'a song') is the alternate pronunciation of '歌', which is the second kanji in Kirika's name. 'Shirabe' (調, meaning 'melody') is the very same word in Shirabe's name.
    • "The two of us are (like) the Sun and Moon": Kirika's last name Akatsuki (暁)'s left radical is 日, which means "sun". Shirabe's last name Tsukuyomi (月読) on the other hand contains the radical 月, which means "moon".
    • There's also multiple occurrences of the phrase "I wish to tell you 'I love you'", which is exactly what the two did in G Episode 11, G Episode 12, and GX Episode 8.
  • Kirika's birthday of April 13 was given to her by the F.I.S., with April 13 being the day she arrived at the F.I.S., as Kirika did not remember her original birthday.[7]
  • Similar to most other wielders, Kirika also references elements from Gundam in her design: the multi-scythe and bat wings in X Drive are likely a reference to Gundam Deathscythe Hell, while the four shoulder pieces in her normal gear bear a strong resemblance to the Kshatriya's binders

Quotes[]

  • "イガリマ、到着デス!/Igalima is here!"
  • 「調やマリア、マムが暮らす世界を、あたしがここにいたって証を遺したいんデスッ!」/ "In this world where Shirabe, Maria and Mom live... I just wish to leave behind some kind of proof of my existence!!"
  • デス /"Death!"
  • (To Shirabe) "Don't call me Dear! I love you even more! That's why I protect the people in world around my Dear person!" - G Episode 12
  • (To Shirabe) "Wrong! It's because I love you! Shirabe is My dear, So I couldn't forgive myself to see you get hurt" - GX Episode 8
  • (To Shirabe) "Protecting Shirabe is My Duty!" - GX Episode 8

References and Notes[]

  1. "(?)" due to it being the unofficial birthday she was given by the F.I.S.
