Kizana is certainly a piece of work, but one that I think is worth putting in the work for. She's also one of the absolute MAIN rivals that I think wouldn't lower her standards for the sake of Taro, but more on that in a minute.
Whenever a club leader rival lives I'm happy to flesh out the personalities of the club members and how the rival interacts with them. But whom will live? 🤔
As per usual, more excessive thoughts under the cut.
I'll start from top to bottom with the little chibi fellas in the pictures. First and foremost is Tsuruzo, the love interest, or suitor for Kizana. Tsuruzo comes from a generally poor family. The type where the bonus money is saved and goes to a gift for him. Despite this, he's always been dead set on not only proving himself to Kizana as an actor, but as someone tonstay by her side as well. I imagine that throughout Kizana's week(s?) we really just look more into their relationship and emphasize how Tsuruzo makes Kizana a better person with his patience and understanding. In short, this seems like a successful pair, and I'm excited to write them together.
Taro (as written in my story) is a curious fella who is more than interested and willing to experiment with different clubs and try out new things. Although it's unlikely that Taro will actually gain feelings for Kizana due to how stressful the week(s) are going to be for her, he at the very least is determined to earn the role as Romeo. Of course, with Ayano getting in the way that's not going to happen, but to add salt to the wound, Kizana probably used the role of earning Romeo just as an excuse to keep him around. If Ayano didn't interfere, she probably would've just changed the role back to Tsuruzo at the end anyway, maybe claiming that he was just "more prepared" and to try again next time.
Kokona will likely be the most important in Kizana's club, second to Tsuruzo. This is because while Tsuruzo is Kizana's main peaceful outlet and her voice of reason, Kokona tries to be her voice of reason but ends up getting the bad end of the stick. Every member has their role. Tokuko being the one who argues with her due to their similar personalities, Shozo caring more about how the play turns out than Kizana's moodswings and Riku attempting to keep the peace and make everyone feel heard in the club. Kokona will be a big piece of Kizana's obvious character development, in short.
Kizana's mother is important for many reasons. She's the reason why Kizana wants to become an actress, why she has such a haughty attitude and why she's rich in the first place. Additionally, she will be a big part of several of Kizana's breakdowns. Even if Kizana gets a happy ending, I can't promise the same for her mother. If anything, since her mother is around and the source of all of Kizana's problems, I might pull my "the blame and punishment should go to the parent" card. She obviously won't pop up in school, so I hope that I can make use of the town outside of Akademi to help build some life and world building.

ok but like, imagine kizana needing reference materials for an upcoming role as demon queen or something
and who better to help her get into the role than the occult leader herself? ;3c ;3c ;3c
so they get closer and kizana gets a crush on oka cuz she’s so passionate about what she likes and kizana’s like ‘omg same, i luv ur intensity holy fuck’
imagine oka being the one to mellow kizana out because she’s shy and it’s hard for her to handle high amounts of outside energy (other people’s enthusiasm and noise)
imagine kizana being all doting and dramatic and calling oka pet names (eg: mettaton from undertale), generally helping oka become more confident in herself
imagine kizana standing up to the bully group that makes oka do all the work
imagine oka growing and getting enough confidence to stand up for herself (or at least acting like it)
imagine oka coming to kizana’s performances and rehearsals because they usually turn down the lights
imagine them having similar ish tastes in movies (maybe i mix of romance/ horror/ humor) and having date nights
kizana pretending to be tough but holding oka’s hand hard enough to break bones during scary parts
oka getting embarrassed during romantic parts and kizana teasing her about it afterwards by quoting the sappiest parts
personally i think it’d be funny if kizana was planning to dramatically confess onstage after one of her performances but oka beats her to it
or maybe oka confesses all low key like and kizana’s like ‘that’s not fair, i was going to ask you out first! you stole my lines’ while blushing hardcore
OOOOO or oka confesses in front of a bunch of people because it was the most over the top thing she could think of to match the type of confession she thinks kizana deserves
Sorry for the dry spell but I’m on a semi-hiatus, I will resume back to gem fusion soon when I’m not too busy.
In the meantime, I took it upon myself that I can try and redesign some rivals from Yandere Simulator to make it not too realistic but as almost as realistic as enough to be considered acceptable in a real-life Japanese high school setting.
So the first is Kizana Sunobu, in which I rename to Himeko Kikuchi, Himeko meaning ‘princess child’ and Kikuchi, which belongs to a famous Japanese actress.
Some of the big changes here is the change in uniform, it is unsuited for a student to wear sailor school uniform as those belong in a middle school setting, not a highschool setting, so I tried to design an original uniform, in which it’s a white shirt with and optional pink cardigan, on top of that, there’s a black blazer with a redesign of the school logo and a beige skirt, if I get the time, I would design the males uniform. For the stockings, it varies from white to navy blue and black, in the rivals case, they might have special embroideries on it, in Kizana’s case, it’s mini rose images on the sides.
Other than that, the hairstyle and colour has changed, I lowered the drills down to her shoulders and darken and dullen the colour so it looks almost as natural.
Anyways, I might redesign some more in the future, but until then, this is what I got.

(Keep reading if you want to hear my opinions of Yandere Simulator)
Anywho, before people jump on, lemme state my opinion on Yandere Simulator: The game is massively flawed, I used to be a fan, but now I’m not. The game has good potential, but it’s managed in the wrong way.
I feel as if the developer hasn’t done that much research of planning before producing the game into it’s developmental stages, he is just adding things in as it goes, and it slows down the progress of development. I understand if the game was meant to be a parody of anime slice-of-life and yandere, I would accept the poor name choices (first name with first names as surnames and google translated names) and ridiculous character designs, however since the developer told us that the game is serious, I can never really see it as something I could take seriously.
for the past few days, he has dipped himself into controversies that he continuously buries himself in, regarding the art thief controversy, as an artist myself, I feel very angry that he would take someone’s artwork and turn them into silhouettes and place them into his videos that he monetises and profits off. He would claim that it’s within fair use and that the artists are just being huge babies over it, in which this inseminates how much of an self-righteous person he is. We artists are not disposable people who just churn out images without effort, we work to make those images, and it’s absolutely disgusting of someone like him to take that artwork and use it without their permissions.
I would also like to touch upon another recent controversy where he had a fall out with an artist who asked if they could make a deal where she would sell some fan-made merch and each month he would get a 20% amount of the profit. However, on the light of the art thievery scandal, she approached him with a contract so that the deal is protected in a honest manner, but since the developer has a fragile ego, he calls her ‘rude’ for stating the obvious and stopped coming into contact with her until she made a DA journal about it and acted like he did nothing wrong. Even worse, he acts like he wasn’t the one who sent the emails and how the emails she got were ‘spoof e-mails’. This goes to show how much of a slimy dev he is, he would go to lengths to cover his tracks, and he would never apologise for these actions. I want to reach out to this artist, it really hurts when a person you idolise so much turns you down and acts immature in front of you. As for the artist herself, I wish you all the best in your future plans, your art is adorable, and I look forward to seeing what you have next in store~!! (please support her if you can)
There’s alot more I can say, but this is all I got, feel free to disagree, but I stand my ground. I once loved this game, but I left it after all of this. I believe in the future, the dev can change, but it’s impossible for that to happen after what I have witness, there’s much more evidence out their of his past, and if you believe that his past doesn’t affect his present. Look at his recent actions, maybe do abit of research yourself, this is purely my opinion, I will not discourage you from supporting him, but I suggest for you to be at least sceptical of his actions. This is just my honest opinion
Anyways, sorry this is along post, this is too long gone overdue. Thank you for reading anyways~!

Some fanart for Yandere Simulator, featuring Musume and Kizana. While playing the game I started wondering how every student would carry their bag and if they would accessorize it somehow. I'd love to draw more fanart in the future.
