PRONUNCIATION:ho-she-no key-rah-rah

SERIES:Animahjong

OCCUPATION:Singing Idol

WORD ASSOCIATION:Show-off, Whimper, Alias

Although Etsuko tells the party where to find the girl to whom she gave the misprinted flyers, the party must trespass into the ARSTV station to find her. They sneak into a changing room and discover a young lady who divulges that she is the woman they seek - Fukiko Tanonaka. Kirara Hoshino is merely her stage name. However, she says she doesn't know anything about the leaflets and doesn't even play mahjong. Believing Etsuko's words were true and Kirara is merely avoiding the issue, the protagonist wonders aloud what society would think of an idol whose secret hobby is to play games of strip mahjong. Kirara's dream flashing before her eyes, she bargains with the protagonist that if she's beaten in a match, she'll tell them what they need to know about the leaflets if they'll promise not to reveal her secret.

Kirara's reported three sizes are 85-58-90 (33-23-35 in inches), but, like her name, these may be fabricated as well. Her cameo in VIPER-V16: Imagine occurs early in the game: as the protagonist is flipping channels, one of Kirara's performances briefly appears on the television. The vocals for a number of VIPER audio tracks are also attributed to Kirara Hoshino: clearly something of an inside joke amongst Sogna game fans.
