Zen Kirishima

Born on June 16. He is the editor-in-chief of Japun's editorial department and was also the first editor in charge of Hibiki Ijuin. He lost his wife Sakura about five or six years ago, and since then has been living with Hiyori Kirishima. Zen Kirishima is extremely clumsy but has excellent insight and is skilled at judo. Though he has a somewhat bully-like personality, he gradually began to open up after spending time with Takafumi Yokozawa and sharing drinks with him during Yokozawa's bouts of despair. He also cares deeply for Sorata and is well-liked by the female writers.
