    Instead of staying home and attending High School in Kyoto, Kyoko travels with her childhood friend Shō Fuwa to Tokyo to help him while he makes it big as an idol. When she finds out that he only invited her so she could be his maid, her heart and innocence are shattered. More vengeful than depressed, she swears to avenge herself. Shō comments the only way to do this would be to beat him in show business, so that's what she decides to do. She changes her hair style and begins the task of applying to Shō's rival company (Akatoki Agency), L.M.E. While her audition stood out, the president of the company realized that she lacked the key point needed to become an idol: love, as without genuine love for this profession and for the audience, she cannot make it far in this world. However, despite her failure, she had such an interesting and impressionable audition (she did katsura-muki as her talent portion) that Kyoko is given a second chance. The L.M.E. "Love Me" section is thus founded. Lory makes a deal with Kyoko that if she whole-heartedly completes all the jobs given to her as a Love-Me employee to the client's satisfaction (which is determined by how many points they stamp onto her record book), by the end of certain period of time, when she has accumulated enough points, she will be given a grand debut. Thus begins her journey into the show business world.

    As an actress, Kyoko is unrefined but creative and spontaneous, able to impress talent scouts with her unique talents and improvisations. In her earlier jobs, she utilizes the skills she learned from working in an inn in Kyoto Prefecture (like cooking, walking "properly," and performing a traditional tea ceremony) to act the part of a wealthy, cultured lady. Though passionate and hot-tempered, Kyoko is able to show impressive professionalism and discipline when it comes to acting, even to the point of putting the job before her health. When forced to perform a tea ceremony in a movie scene with Ren, she is able to keep a serene face and act her part while kneeling on a badly fractured ankle. Yet despite the pain, she refuses to get up or stop until she the scene is completed. Because of this, the director and everyone else was incredibly awed by her determination and strength. Later on, Shuhei (Kuu), Ren's father, says she was a "scary kind of actress," much like Ren. Her debut is for a soft drink commercial and her first major role was Mio, the antagonist in the television drama Dark Moon.

    When she is in her room in "Darumaya" she is often seen explaining how she would exact revenge on the two men that make her life miserable to a large poster of Shōtaro and a small photo of Ren, the picture becomes much larger as the story progresses (the size of the picture reflects her level of hatred towards the person on it). She also carries with her many curse dolls of Ren and Sho, which she uses to vent her anger and perform curses. The dolls, incredible in the attention to detail, are handmade by Kyoko. They feature Sho and Ren in various state of fear, distress and submission. After her relationship with Ren improves, she often 'consults' her Ren doll during times of stress.

    She becomes a regular in a show wearing a chicken suit for the character "Bo". She assumes this character on several occasions to talk to Ren, because he won't open up about his problems to anyone he knows. She likes to cling to Kanae and calls her "Moko" (it is seen in volume four that every girl hated Kyoko for her familiarity with Shou). Kyoko never liked to drink soda (even as a child) but she made herself drink it for an important commercial audition. Kyoko seems to have a bad relationship with her parents. Her mother, Saena, was a strict and emotionally distant parent who eventually left her with the Fuwa family when Kyoko was still six. The effects of Kyoko's difficult childhood can be seen throughout the series, particularly in her acting. For example, when Kyoko was acting with Maria, she stated that parents that despise their children really do exist. Kyoko's father has been absent throughout the series.

    Kyoko has a noticeable crush on Ren, but she mistakes it for respect sometimes and even denies it since she "couldn't possibly let herself fall in love again". After seeing the certain scene where "Katsuki" (played by Ren) is looking at the girl he loves in the play, Kyoko remembers the smile (he has shown it for her a couple of times before) and comes to the conclusion that Ren might not hate her or dislike her, as she thought before. It is shown that Kyoko does not know that Ren is "Corn" her "fairy-prince". Recently, she was the caretaker for Kuu (aka Shuhei), an actor who played in the previous version of the drama "Dark Moon". He is also Ren's father, although Kyoko does not know this.

    Kyoko has a fondness for cosmetics, fairy tales and anything magical. However being betrayed by Shō has left her cynical, especially about love. It seems that Kyoko's birthday is on December 25 as Ren gave Kyoko a rose saying "Happy Birthday" as the clock struck 12:00 midnight at Maria's birthday party (whose birthday is the 24th), and the rose is also very special, as the rose is very large and contains a gemstone (purposely put there by Ren, which Kyoko later uses as part of her necklace in Act 128).

    After Dark Moon started airing, Kyoko was cast in a high school drama as Natsu, which is a "Bully Role"; however Kyoko runs into the problem of being type-cast, as the director asks her to do her "Natsu" role based on "Mio". This is in spite of the fact that two roles should be different, as Mio is an extremely embittered rich young heiress, while Natsu is a relatively normal girl from a normal family who merely likes to pick on her classmates. But after some training from Ren on "how to act like a model" she stuns the cast with her new appearance and attitude for the role of Natsu, easily impressing the director with this new representation of Natsu.

    However, later on a cast member, jealous that Kyoko was able to bounce to another role so easily where she never could, pushed her down a flight of stairs. Though she fractured her hand and knows who did it Kyoko doesn't tell, but instead has that cast member be her "right hand" with her bullying.

    On February 10th, Ren received a lot of presents and she asked if they were for Valentine's Day. Instead, all the girls said that today was his birthday. Kyoko was shocked because she thought it was the 19th. She had ordered him a present and she asked Ren if he would take it on the 14th. Ren said he would but he would like to have her smile for him on his birthday.

    Around Valentine's Day, Reino cornered her and demanded that she made him some chocolates for Valentine's Day. When she refused, he threatened that he'll torture one of her apparitions that he caught. He said he'll only take them if she has her love baked into them. While she was in her dressing room, she began making a list of people for who she was going to give chocolates to. She wrote down, her boss and okami-san for Darumaya, Mouko-san(Kanae), and a few others. She wrote down Tsuruga-san but then crossed it off because she remembered that Ren seldom eats and didn't want a repeat of an earlier incident where he caused himself to be sick because he forced himself to eat more than he should have. Later on she was invited to Kanae's house to make chocolates. Kanae was surprised to hear that she didn't make any for Ren.

    The next day, February 13th, Kyoko ended up carrying her box of chocolates for Reino around with her. When she was leaving her dressing room, she accidentally dropped the chocolates on the floor. Ren and Yashiro came by just then and she quickly picked them up and ran away. Ren became very angry after seeing "Hatred" written on one of the chocolates because he knew who she was giving the chocolates to.

    Kyoko runs into Sho and he takes the box of chocolates from her and looks inside. Kyoko accidentally scrambled them which made Sho think that it said, "Picture of a beagle, man, then a heart". He got so mad that he threw it into the parking lot and it got run over by a car. Kyoko got very angry because she was scared about her demon. Sho thought that Kyoko liked Reino and asked if she really loved him that much. Sho got into a fight with Kyoko then stormed off calling her a stupid, boring girl with nothing but love on her mind. Reino then told Kyoko to take back the chocolates and give them to him on Valentine's Day, which was 6 hours away. She told him that she will but only if he was willing to go to the set of Dark Moon the next day since she had work, and only if he didn't care that Ren was there. He took the chocolates and left, but he won't take them like this next year.

    When Kyoko got back to Darumaya, her lady boss told her that a package arrived for her. She ran to her room happily and started wrapping the package, Ren's birthday present.

    On Valentine's Day, she arrives on Dark Moon's set and gives Ren his birthday present which she asks that he not open until he is alone. Then she give Yashiro some chocolates as thanks for all he's done for her. This shocks him as he was sure that Kyoko would give some chocolates to Ren. When Yashiro asks if there was anyone else she wanted to give chocolates too, she dashed off to give chocolates to the director and her other co-workers, completely misunderstanding Yashiro's question.

    As she is talking to the director, Sho shows up with a huge bouquet of flowers. She is very dazzled by the beautiful decorations but soon throws the bouquet on the ground when she finds out it is a congratulations for her so-called relationship to Reino. When her co-workers also start to congratulate her, she becomes even more upset, calls Sho stupid, and explains to everyone via drawings on a blackboard that the chocolates were supposed to spell "Go to hell, Beagle." At this point, Kyoko finally realizes that Ren overheard everything and now she worries that Ren will hate her for being weak against her enemy. Sho then walks up next to her and says that she is pathetic and that she could never get a guy. Sho says it's sad that the only person she had to give chocolates to was the beagle. Kyoko retorts that she gave chocolates to a lot of the people working on Dark Moon. Sho becomes upset and asks if she gave chocolates to Ren. Kyoko says she did not give any chocolates to Ren but he deduces from her words that she did give something else to Ren. When he asks her what she gave, she blushes and tells him it's none of his business. Soon after this, while everyone else is turned away and heading back to set, Sho grabs Kyoko's collar and forces a kiss on her. Ren, who turned back around to get Kyoko, witnesses the kiss – as does Yashiro, the director, and two female co-workers. She cries at the fact that her first kiss was stolen by Sho but Ren reassures her that it wasn't a kiss because both parties were not in love with each other. She seems to be over it but constantly gets reminded of it from little things. She gives Ren wine jelly for Valentine's day due to feeling bad about not giving him chocolate instead. While telling him about how she tasted it before she gave it to him she was reminded of how Sho kissed her trying to "taste" the chocolate he popped into her mouth. All of a sudden Ren kissed Kyoko on the cheek then thanked her for the wine jelly. During her scene as Mio she couldn't concentrate because she kept on remembering Ren's kiss and words. Somehow, Ren manages to convince her that he really did kiss her out of thanks. She accepts his words, but now believes him to be a playboy. Despite that, though, she still seems to accept him and has pretty much forgiven him for his mistake. Although Chapter 151 shows that she is still very irritated about the kiss.
    Later on, Kyoko was given a job by the president that she was to meet someone. She did and what surprised her was that the person was in fact Tsuruga Ren. Ren was acting as a scary and dark person named Cain Hill and at first scared Kyoko, to the extent that she could not move and sat on the ground until hours later. After the incident, Ren confronted her and revealed that he was in fact Ren. He brought her back to the president and the president bestowed a job to kyoko; she was to act as Cain Hill's younger sister, Setsu. She was given a complete makeover to complete the role of Cain's sister.
    They are then to stay at a hotel together for a night and when they get there, there is only one bed. Ren suggests that they just sleep in the same bed, even going as far as to offer her to sleep on his arm. She was about to reply when there is a knock on the door. It is the hotel manager saying sorry for mixing up the rooms and they offer them tokens for apology.

    Once they got to the right room, Kyoko drops the tokens given by the manager. Ren notices that while she's picking up the tokens that you can see right down her shirt. Immediate Ren takes her by the wrist and takes her to go shopping for more suitable clothing to wear.
    Ren takes her to Maria's favorite store. Ren tells her to pick out anything she would like. Kyoko thinking he's to wasteful with his money decides to play a trick on him by choosing the most absurd thing in the store. At that moment Ren says he will buy it for her then right before the sales lady rings it up Kyoko stops him, and tells him that she would like him to not be so wasteful with his money. He then tosses her a pair of pants and tells her to try them on. When she comes out, Ren asks if they fit right and Kyoko tells him that they fit just right. He announces to her that he just bought her 10 more pairs. Once they got outside Kyoko convinces Ren to return at least 7 pairs of the pants.

    While she waits for him to return, someone puts their hand on her shoulder and thinking it was Ren she says that she hopes that he apologized for buying all those pairs of pants before returning them. However, when a voice responds - it turns out it wasn't Ren but 4 guys that she doesn't know. One of the guys asks her if she would like to play. She thought about it and said "Sure but you have to ask for my permission to go out by my most important man(Ren." Once they turned around they find Ren standing right behind them glaring evilly at them. When the guys that asked Kyoko the question walks up to Ren and asks him thinking he was her boyfriend but after she announces that hes really her brother. They tried to ask for permission to take Kyoko but, when Ren refuses and tells Kyoko to follow because they were on their way home. One of the other boys tries to punch Ren but misses. The boy continuously tries to hit Ren. After a short while, the boy that asked Kyoko pulls out a wooden stick so he could go help his friend. When Kyoko sees the wooden stick she grabs it so that he can not attack Ren. the boy violently shakes her off causing her to fall to the ground. When Ren saw that Kyoko is on the ground he pauses and gets hit. Ren looks back at the boy who just hit him and went into a uncontrollably rage. He starts to fight back and after getting rid of 3 of the boys he starts to attack the one that pushed Kyoko to the ground. Kyoko realizes she has to do something to stop him so she yells don't kill him. Which causes Ren to stop and he flashes back to his life before he became an actor. After the incident they walk back to the hotel.

    Once in the hotel, Kyoko begins looking through the bag that Ren had just brought back with them, but now it has shirts and when she says she didn't ask for him to waste more money buying her shirts. Ren says a young fashionable girl like her will be able to figure out how to wear them. He announces that he will be taking a bath. While he goes to take a bath Kyoko begins to cook their dinner. After 40 minutes, Ren still hasn't come out she begins to worry, thinking that he fell asleep in the bath so she barges in there and pulls the curtain so that she could be sure he wasn't asleep. She ends up opening the curtain with him in there. When Ren realizes he asks her "Would you like to jump in?" After hearing that Kyoko responds to him like hes a drunken man at a restaurant. She walks out and begins to be overwhelmed with thoughts about what she should have done. After Ren gets out she sets up a table with his food on it. When he says he wasn't hungry she tells him it better be all gone by the time she comes out. She walks into the bathroom and finds Ren's clothing so she goes to take it out when she notices his watch and she begins to think to herself.
