Keiichirou Miyanoshita (b. 1994, 30 today) (Ben, in the Latin Spanish dub) is one of the main characters of Gakkou no Kaidan anime series. He is the younger brother of Satsuki Miyanoshita, and the youngest of the group. Keiichirou is a 1st Grade student in Class 2 at Amanogawa Elementary School.

Appearance[]

Keiichirou is a six-year old boy with fair skin, short purple-gray hair, and brown eyes, taking after his father in appearance. His typical outfit consists of a light blue long-sleeved shirt with an orange/red rectangle and the letter "K", slate-gray shorts, and a pair of yellow calf-high boots.

At night, he typically wears black-and-white spotted cow pajamas.

Personality[]

Keiichirou is a shy, sweet boy who is very lonely. He became a good friend of Amanojaku, and sometimes took him with him to school. Keiichirou really misses his mother. He also loves his older sister Satsuki and his father, although their family is strained by their lack of a mother. Keiichirou is easily scared and cries very easily, as such he is often described as a "crybaby". Whenever Satsuki is threatened by a ghost or their father is in danger he appears to worry he is going to lose another family member and becomes distraught.

Keiichirou is naïve and immature and rather clumsy at times, however, he develops emotionally over the course of the series, even coming to accept his mother's death.

In the ADV Dub, Keiichirou is not merely "immature", but portrayed as being mentally disabled. He generally spouts gibberish and is sometimes referred to as "retarded", including by Satsuki. It is also repeatedly indicated that he suffers from dyslexia. For instance, in Episode 19: Headless Rider!! Curse of Death, when he reads from the Ghost Diary, he reverses all of the phrases, making it sound like nonsense.

Relationships[]

Keiichirou is very attached to the family pet Kaya. When the cat becomes possessed by Amanojaku, he still calls him "Kaya" while the rest of the cast address him by his demon name, this perhaps endears him to Amanojaku and contributes to their friendship. He is also a good friend of Hajime Aoyama and Leo Kakinoki and seems to see them as his "older brothers". He also likes to play with Momoko Koigakubo. Keiichirou is shown to be good at befriending spirits without really meaning to as he makes friends with Datto and Amanojaku.
