Kira Kira is an eroge, or hentai game. The story revolves around Shikanosuke, the story's male protagonist, and his female partners, Kirari, Sarina and Chie. All four attend the Christian high school Ohbi Gakuen, and are the only four members of the Daini Bungeibu (Second Literary Club). Their club was about to be disbanded when the group decides to form a rock band called the Daini Bungeibu Bando, or d2b, for short. In order to make it an all girl band, Shikanosuke dresses in drag and goes by the name of Shikako. After the quartet's popular school festival performance was broadcast on the internet, the group goes on to perform throughout Japan. Kirari is the group's singer and second guitarist. Despite her family's poverty, Kirari is always upbeat and smiling.

I was kinda bummed with Katakura at AX 2011. Both DrScorpio & I went up to him the first day. We were hoping that with Dengeki Stryker having been released in Japan that Katakura would draw from the new game. When we asked about Stryker, Katakura seemed miffed that we knew about the game and wanted to know how we knew. We both pointed out that OVERDRIVE had posted clips of it on their Japanese website. Katakura seemed a little less tense once we pointed that out. Sadly, the only project that Katakura would draw from was from Kira Kira. Although I already had one of each of the characters, I requested Kirari because I wanted to see how Katakura had improved over the past year.

When I picked up the sketch, I had to admit that I was a bit disappointed since it seemed like a repeat pose from the previous year. But, after scanning it and holding it up against the 2010 version, this sketch looks like Kirari's adult sister.

Make sure you check out DrScorpio's sketch of Shikako!

Here's a clip from the "Kira Kira Rock" eroge.
