Kizana Sunobu is the third upcoming rival of Ayano Aishi and the leader of the Drama Club in Yandere Simulator.
Appearance
Kizana has purple twin-drills held up by two red roses and purple eyes. She has a large bust size of 1.35.
When she is implemented, she will wear the default school uniform with a black choker with a red rose in the center and purple stockings with red roses and green leaves unless customized by the player. As the leader of the Drama Club, she wears the "Red Armband of Leadership" with the 'comedy and tragedy' masks on her left arm.
Kizana's height is 163cm.[3]
Personality
Kizana is the president of the school's drama club. Her short-term goal is to be the most popular girl in school, and her long-term goal is to be the most famous actress who has ever lived.
Kizana will be absent during the first two weeks of gameplay, but will set her sights on Senpai as soon as she returns to school. She is convinced that Senpai would make an excellent addition to the drama club, which might be just the thing to take his mind off of the events that he will experience during the first two weeks of gameplay...
Her personality is very distasteful, but her beauty and her ability to captivate an audience might be enough to get her into Senpai's heart. She might just be the "Juliet" to his "Romeo"...
Among the Personas that are currently implemented in the game, Kizana will be Lovestruck.[4]
Kizana is described as snobby, haughty, arrogant, and conceited. YandereDev plans to make her a himedere.[5] YandereDev thinks that she has had a life goal to act ever since she was young.[6] She only wants to be the lead actress.[6]
She dislikes those who are more popular than her and those who make her feel inferior. She would possibly dislike Ayano if the latter had an extremely high Reputation.[7] She has the second highest test scores among the rivals, as she dislikes to be at the bottom of lists.[8]
In hypothetical dialogue, she wished for more money than she needed for her club just because someone else got more money, suggesting that she wants what others have simply because they have it.[9]
Kizana enjoys being in small groups with people where she can feel like she is the most important person in the group. She absolutely hates it when someone more important than her is present in the group.[10]
According to YandereDev, he describes her as "a wannabe princess who thinks highly of herself and enjoys bossing other people around". In actual reality, she is less talented and intelligent than she thinks she actually is.[11] He also describes her one true love as "herself".[12]
Routine
Though it is unknown at the moment, YandereDev has said that Kizana's routine will put her in close proximity to Taro or other students.[13] One possibility is that she will constantly have an entourage of admirers following her around all the time, much like Komako Funakoshi and Chigusa Busujima.[14]
When she was first added to the game, she went to the Drama Club and stayed there all day, but during her week, she put on a play with the other members of her club.
Topics
The Conversational Topics Kizana feels towards are as follows:
| Positive | Negative |
|---|---|
|
|
Relationships
Taro Yamada
- Main article: Taro Yamada
Like most other rivals, Kizana will have a crush on Taro.
If she entered a relationship with Taro, she'd turn him into an actor.[15]
YandereDev imagines that, during her week, she will attempt to convince him to join the Drama Club,[16] and would only show him her "good side".[17] If the Drama Club was disbanded before Kizana's week, she would do everything herself and force Taro to help.[18]
If she was rejected by Taro, and saw the latter talking to Oka Ruto the next week, she would be very angry.[19]
Rivals
- Megami Saikou
- Main article: Megami Saikou
Kizana is envious of Megami and seeks to dethrone her as the most popular girl in school,[20] as Kizana's goal is to become "Queen" of the school.[21]
- Osana and Hanako
- Main articles: Osana Najimi, Hanako Yamada
Kizana thinks of Osana and Hanako as "random nobodies" and "peasants".[22]
- Muja and Mida
Kizana thinks Muja and Mida attract too much attention and steal her "limelight".[21]
- Oka Ruto
- Main article: Oka Ruto
Kizana thinks that Oka is a weird creepy freak.[21]
- Osoro Shidesu
- Main article: Osoro Shidesu
Kizana thinks Osoro is scary and stays far away from her.[21]
Others
Because Kizana never considers anyone her true friend, all of her social connections and friendships are purely based on what/who would benefit/be useful to her, rather than the feeling a connection with someone.[19]
- Family
Both her mother[23] and father[24] are actors. Her relationship with them is complicated.[24] However, YandereDev says that her number one precious thing is her family.[25] Kizana's parents do care about their daughter a lot.[26]
- Suitor
- Main article: Suitors
In the future, Ayano can matchmake Kizana with her suitor.
- Kokona Haruka
- Main article: Kokona Haruka
Kizana isn't too bothered by Kokona trying to imitate her and copying her hairstyle, but she wants Kokona to develop her style since she values creativity and originality.
- Saki Miyu
- Main article: Saki Miyu
Saki once used a "drill twin tails" hairstyle. This angered Kizana since she didn't want anyone at school to have hair more spectacular than hers.[27]
- People She Competes With
Kizana would be pleased if misfortunate befell on a person she considered to be her rival, since she is spiteful to other people she competes with.[19]
Trivia
- Her name is a play on the word "気障な" (kizana), which means "rude" or "snobbish", or on "きざな" (kizana), which means "affected" or "pretentious," while her surname is a play on the word "スノブ" (sunobu) which is the katakana writing of "snob".
- There is also an actual Japanese name "Kizana", meaning "elegance grace".
- In the future, if the club has disbanded before her designated week arrives, there will be a short cutscene about in which she will express some very sad feelings.[28]
- She will be absent during the first two weeks of gameplay because of broken bones.[29]
- From the May 19th, 2017 Build, until the June 1st, 2017 Build, it was possible to "add" her into the game by changing ID 34's name from "Unknown" to “Kizana Sunobu” or random words in the JSON file. However, she had no functionality besides being able to give a task, which caused the game to freeze if the player accepted or declined it.
- This task will not return to the game, as Kizana will change her hairstyle each day.[30]
- In the final game, YandereDev may add a secret code that would allow the player to change her hair and eye color.[31]
- YandereDev thinks she may sprinkle French and Latin phrases into her speech to project an image of sophistication and education.[32]
- YandereDev suggested that as opposed to being annoyed about being imitated, Kizana might instead really like creativity and originality, so she would ask Ayano to help Kokona find an original hairstyle for the reason instead.[33]
- This was confirmed in Kokona's official website description.
- She has a negative opinion of most of the club leaders and their clubs.[34]
- She is the second richest student at Akademi.[35]
- Kizana's pet is a female "Lavender Albino Python".[36][37]

- Kizana dislikes babies and thinks that they are annoying.[39] However, if she was forced into a situation where she had to babysit, she would put actual and genuine effort into caring for the baby, despite not enjoying it.[39]
- Money is the third most important thing to Kizana, while "The Stage" is second most important to her.[25]

- Kizana's favourite movie genre is romance.[49]
- Her favourite colour is purple.[50]
- She claims that butterflies, or anything pretty, are her favourite animals. However, her true favourite animal are snakes, but she lies instead, since she understands that others would consider snakes creepy.[51]

It's only natural that I'd get the lead role in the play! I deserve it more than anyone else. Senpai! I'm going to be Juliet...would you be my Romeo?
It's only natural that I'd get the lead role in the play! I deserve it more than anyone else, after all. Senpai! I'm going to be Juliet...would you be my Romeo?
Who cares if masks are banned? A true performer can suspend the audience's disbelief without the aid of props or costumes! Besides, a mask would only rob the school of the privilege of being able to see my stunning good looks. Good riddance to those pesky things! We didn't need them anyway!
Our newest club member doesn't seem to realize how things work around here. She actually thinks she can steal MY hairstyle! It doesn't matter if she had this hairstyle before me! Now that I'm using it, it's officially MINE! There's only enough room for ONE set of purple drills in THIS school! I'm not going to discuss this with her directly; such matters are beneath me. Make yourself useful and go have a word with her. Tell her that she needs to do something ORIGINAL with her hair...or else.
No, no, no, no, NO! This won't do! This won't do at ALL! Have a seat, because you obviously require a lesson. First, we need to determine whether you are blind or stupid. How many fingers am I holding up? Yes, that's correct. Now that we've established you aren't blind, we can only reach the conclusion that you are STUPID. This flower does NOT match my outfit at ALL. I don't need to take the time to explain what kind of flowers suit me best, right? I'm already wearing them in my hair, after all! Think of what an audience throws onstage once an actress has just given a wonderful performance: ROSES. Now get out of here and don't come back until you've brought me an APPROPRIATE gift!
...that sorrowful expression! That air of melancholy! Just by looking at you...I can feel your pain and anguish as though it was my own! Yes...yes, that's it! You're PERFECT!
Surely I need no introduction, so I'll just get straight to the point. I have chose to cast you in the lead role of my next stageplay!
If I am not mistaken, you have recently experienced a great loss, haven't you? Heartache and regret are written across your face as plain as day...
...and those are the exact emotions that the protagonist of my next play must convey to the audience!
An actor's performance can only be authentic if they have firsthand knowledge of their character's feelings and experiences - and that's why you would be a perfect fit for the role!
Oh, "exploit" is such a nasty word! You've got it all wrong! Think of it this way:
Some of the greatest works of art we only created because their artists were in a period of deep emotional turmoil.
Do you think that Edvard Munch could have painted "The Scream" while he was in a good mood? Of course not!
Such a perfect representation of anxiety and distress could only have been created by someone who was struggling with existential angst!
If you are going though any form of hardship, you must capture the emotions that you are feeling and burn them as fuel to elevate your next artistic creation to greater heights!
To do anything else would be a complete waste.
Precisely! Oh, I'm so glad you understand. Come with me! We're going to be rehearsing your lines immediately.
Hurry! We can't afford to waste any time at all. That slot over there is private enough - let's go!
