Personality[]

When asked what she normally does, she replied "shop." Her music preference is Death Metal.

She usually appears as the "cutesy" young, innocent, girly character of the group. Often having to reply to their questions in such an idiotic way that she'll then reveal her inner performance to the audience. Her real personality which she hides from the group members is often only shown when she expresses how annoyed she is at them for their exaggerated expectations.

However there's reason to believe that whatever the case may be, she may well be the youngest of the group. In episode 3, after the group decides to eat lunch after visiting a temple, she's seen drinking what appears to be orange juice, while the others are clearly drinking beer. In episode 6, Gankyou says that Kigurumi is underage and should not smoke, after interpreting her hand gesture to mean that she wanted a cigarette. Later, in episode 11, during their Christmas party, Kigurumi suggests a toast. Marii, who is already consuming a pitcher of beer, pulls out a bottle of Chanmery (a carbonated non-alcoholic drink that is served in a small champagne style bottle typically offered to kids during Christmas parties) and tells her that she gets the non-alcoholic drink.

(As a side note, the legal age for purchasing and consuming both alcohol and tobacco products in Japan is 20 years old. Additionally, at the time the manga was published, a person was not legally recognized as an adult in Japan until the age of 20. As of 2022, the age of adulthood is now recognized at 18 years old, though the previous age restrictions for purchasing and consuming alcohol and tobacco still apply.[1])

Trivia[]

  • Her name is a pun on the Japanese character, Hello Kitty and Kigurumi (a type of onsie that often has an animal theme and is used as both cosplay and sleep/loungewear).
    • Although her name is a reference to the type of clothing, when they did the pajama party in the first anime episode, it was Kukuru who was wearing a kigurumi.
  • In the later chapters of the manga, it is mentioned that she had studied abroad, but is still not very proficient at English.
  • In the special page of Chapter 22, she shows the girls a picture of her dressed as a bride, which Tetora thought that it meant that she was a model prior to becoming a rakugoka. She then tells Tetora that she was not a model, implying that she was a teenage bride.
    • At the time the manga was in publication, the legal age for a woman to get married in Japan was 16, while a man had to be 18 do so. As of 2022, both men and women must 18 years old to enter into a marriage.[2][3]
    • In Episode 12, Uzanuu asks Kigurumi to confirm that she had been divorced, further implying that she was married before.
