Shinkawa Kyouji

Shinkawa Kyouji (新川恭二) is a player of the American produced VRMMORPG «Gun Gale Online». He uses the AGI powered character Spiegel (シュピーゲル). He is Asada Shino's friend and the one introduced her to GGO alongside his brother Shinkawa Shoichi is the main antagonist during the Phantom Bullet arc.

Real Life
In real life, Kyouji is a small and skinny boy who wears jeans and a dark yellow, nylon pullover, with a dark green backpack over his shoulders. A black baseball cap sits over his little, round face. Although he looks like a middle school student, the dark shadows beneath his eyes betray his youthful visage.

Gun Gale Online Avatar
Kyouji's avatar in Gun Gale Online had a tall and skinny body with long, silver hair. He wore a grey-patterned, streamlined camouflage with a somewhat large machine gun slung over his shoulder.

Background
He is the second son of the director of a hospital. Kyouji was bullied at school and was also being pressured by his parents to succeed them, therefore he gave up on reality and turned to the virtual world. He believed that being strong in virtual world would cover his weakness in the real world. He later developed a hatred towards Zekushiido, as well as other STR-oriented players, for destroying Spiegel's development by suggesting players to boost their AGI parameter, which later turned out to be a bad choice as a STR build turned out to be better in the long run due to such players being able to wield heavier guns.

Phantom Bullet Arc
Kyouji was mentioned to be the one who introduced Shino to GGO in a bid to help her overcome her fear of guns. He was also the one who persuaded Sinon not to quit, even though she did not get the avatar she had wanted.

Kyouji made his first appearance in the Phantom Bullet arc by saving Shino from Endou and her group of bullies who wanted her to withdraw money for them from an ATM on her way home. He scared them off by pretending to be bringing a police officer to the scene. Later, he brought Shino to a cafe and there, he offered to be Shino's protector by accompanying her from school everyday. Shino declined, but thanked him before parting ways.
