"The only thing i want, more than anything in the world, is for these visions to disappear. So i can finally live normally"

-Kiyo Kamiya, Crisis Moon: Symphony of the Hollow (episode 1)

Kiyo Kamiya is the main character of the series. A melancholic high school student who sees visions of death because of his Eyes of Future Death.

Appearance
Kiyo appears as a normal-looking teenager. He has black hair and blue eyes that turn cerulean whenever the Eyes of Future Death are active. He wears a blue gakuran school uniform with the top opened, a white button-up shirt underneath, and red sneakers. He is usually seen frowning.

Personality
Kiyo is constanly pessimistic and isolated, and developed a cold personality that shuts out others, being generally rude due to his fear of seeing the deaths of the people he interact with because of his Eyes of Future Death. However, inside, he is actually a kind-hearted person who holds a soft spot for his loved ones.

Fighting Style
Kiyo fights with a knife on one hand and the Satsugai-sha, a katana given to him by Twilight, on the other. Kiyo is ambidextrous and therefore has no problem with using different weapons on both hands. He was also given self defense training by his adoptive father while younger, which explains his mastery of wielding the knife and sword.

Gameplay
Kiyo's style can be described as a shotoclone style. His move include uppercuts (Shadow Cutter), projectiles (Killswitch), car-type moves (Inverse Needle) and overheads (Crescent Divide). In Crisis Moon II, his moveset was updated to include a Tatsumaki-esque spin move (Spiral Slash), while Crisis Moon III gives him a new mash attack (Severing Stabs). His Burst Ability is "Death Sentence", a move where stabs the opponent whilst his Eyes of Future Death. Kiyo's B attacks come in two hits and have priority over all of his other normal attacks, meaning he can link his B attacks into any other of his normal attacks. His Unique Ability is his Enhanced Specials: powered-up versions of his specials which consume quarters of Luna. These specials can be performed by inputting the command of the special and pressing B instead of L, M or H. Like his B normals, his Enhanced B Specials have priority over most of his specials. However, if Kiyo attempts an Enhanced Special without enough Luna, the H version of the attack will occur instead.

His Chaos Mode is "Eyes of Future Death: Trigger" which activates a special mode. During this mode, the background turns red, the background music stops, and Kiyo's power and speed will increase by 20%.

Trivia

 * The series' creator TAKA has cited Shiki Tohno, protagonist of the famed Type-Moon visual novel Tsukihime as one of his main inspirations for creating Kiyo
 * Kiyo's voice actor Hiro Shimono is mostly well-known for voicing meek and shy boys. Therefore, his role as the emotional Kiyo Kamiya could be considered playing against type.
 * As one of the joke endings of the second game has revealed, Kiyo has an incredibly low alcohol tolerance level and can get drunk even by a small shot of sake.
 * A recent art book has revealed that Kiyo's preffered sport is badminton, and that he was part of the badminton club prior to its dissolution.
 * This has been referenced in the flyers for The FEAST Saga: Fight it Out! -2nd Sign- Mighty, where Kiyo appears dressed in the badminton club's uniform.
 * As several moments from the crossovers had shown, Kiyo is at odds with Fight or Die's protagonist Yuko Amano.
 * It is believed that it is becaused of their widely different philosophies and morals: Whereas Kiyo constanly questions the purpose of death and the reasons why people commit such crimes as murder, Yuko has shown no problems when it comes to killing, and is more than willing to kill her opponents if it was the only way to progress.
 * Kiyo owns a PlayStation Portable, as seen on several promotional artwork and some pages of the Wattpad novel.
 * This may serve as an allusion to Keima Katsuragi from the anime and manga seriesThe World God Only Knows , one of Hiro Shimono's (Kiyo's japanese seiyuu) famous roles, who, in the story, is almost never seen without his white PFP (a parody of the PSP)

"I'm sick of having to kill people for their blood, 'Im sick of peope dying before me!. Please, Kamiya-kun, help me stop the vampires so i can end my bloodlust"

-Twilight (to Kiyo), Crisis Moon: Symphony of the Hollow (episode 2)

Twilight is the series' deuteragonist. A vampire who dislikes her vampire blood and seeks to stop the vampires in order to end her connection with them.

Appearance
Twilight has short, jet-black hair and red eyes (a common trait of vampires), which she conceals with black contact lenses (the picture above shows her with one of her contacts removed). She wears a short red jacket that bares a significant part of her midriff, white shorts and black boots with white stockings. Her navel has four piercings surrounding it resembling the pattern of a crucifix.

Personality
Twilight is usually serious and stoic, but actually has a kind heart. Though she has no problem with death in general (unlike Kiyo), she dislikes killing people with her own hands. She has a habit of wearing clothing that shows part of her stomach. Besides her usual outfit, she also wears a school uniform above her size and ties her PE uniform just below her breasts. Her casual clothes and swimwear also bare her midriff.

Fighting Style
Twilight fights with silver daggers, called "silver needles", usually by inserting three of them in the middle of her fingers, resembling claws, though she sometimes throws them, particularly on long range fights.

Trivia

 * In Crisis Moon, Twilight's Chaos Mode was "Red Light Dance" a simple boost in power, with additional red afterimages of her sprites. In Crisis Moon II, "Red Light Dance" was altered to a ranbu-type super and her Chaos Mode was changed to "Blood", which alters her stance, grants her boosted attack and speed, grants her moves inaccesible to normal Twilight, and changes her voice samples, making her sound more unhinged than usual.
 * Twilight shares a few moves with Terry Bogard from the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series.
 * Her uppercut attack, Poison Spindle, is performed the same way as Terrry's Rising Tackle. Both attacks are performed the same way, though Twilight has a weaker, non-charge variant
 * She has an attack, Vulture's Talon, that bears similar animations and properties to Terry's Power Dunk. Both are also performed the same way.
