Oshi no Ko Wiki
Advertisement

I know how upsetting it feels to watch other people mess with your work. I sympathize with Abiko. I'm not good at being critical... When it comes to adaptations I tend to leave everything to others... But in my heart, I'm the same as her.

― Yoriko Kichijouji

Yoriko Kichijouji (きち) (じょ) (うじ) (より) () , Kichijōji Yoriko?」 is a supporting character in Oshi no Ko. She is the mangaka behind the popular manga series I'll Go With Sweet Today and was the mentor of Abiko Samejima, the mangaka of Tokyo Blade.

Appearance[]

Yoriko sports a bob-cut hairstyle with a light blonde appearance and circle glasses. In Chapter 43, she is seen wearing a white and black striped shirt and a black jacket on her meeting with Abiko.

Personality[]

Yoriko appears to be carefree, outgoing, and lax. Part of this could be due to her manga's monthly serialization, not needing to worry about immediate deadlines and the like: juxtaposed by Abiko's polar-opposite personality and serialization schedule. Yoriko is considerate of others and their circumstances, though this could be seen as her not being good at being critical.

Due to her skills as a mangaka, she has the talent of telling what kind of person another mangaka is by reading their work, and is well versed in the ins and outs of the manga industry, be it the editing side and the hurdles mangaka have to go through to create their work.

Etymology[]

  • The name Yoriko means "rely" (頼) (yori) and "child" (子) (ko).
  • Yoriko's surname Kichijouji means "auspicious, lucky omen" (吉祥) (kichijou) and "temple" (寺) (ji).

Trivia[]

  • Sweet Today has also appeared in Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Aka Akasaka's other manga.
    • While the mangaka was not named in the manga, it is shown to be Aosaka Ao in the anime[3]. This can be interpreted as either a retcon or Yoriko's pseudonym.
    • Furthermore, Yoriko could be considered to be an unseen character in the Kaguya-Sama manga series due to the appearance of her manga in that series, but not her appearance herself.
