Kirino Kousaka (高坂 桐乃, Kōsaka Kirino) is a fictional character and the main female protagonist of the light novel, anime, and manga series Oreimo, written by Tsukasa Fushimi and illustrated by Hiro Kanzaki. In the series, Kirino is a model student with excellent grades, competent athletic skill and great popularity. On the other hand, she's secretly an otaku with a fetish for "little sister"-themed eroge she has been collecting in secret. With the help of her older brother Kyousuke, who becomes her confidant, Kirino tries to reconcile her personal life with her secret hobby.
In the anime adaptation of Oreimo, Kirino is voiced by Ayana Taketatsu.[2] Although Kirino has become an extremely popular and somewhat of a breakout character in anime and manga fandom, she still received mixed critical responses from both fans and reviewers due to the character's "hostile behavior" in the anime.
