Kyouko Kaneki was a student of 9 Grade Class 3 in 1998. In the classroom, she sits in front of Takako Sugiura and beside Kouichi Sakakibara.

Appearance
She has long, straight brown hair and brown eyes, and is typically wearing the standard female school uniform.

Personality
She is frequently shown with her best friend Aki Matsui, and seems to be a serious yet sociable student.

Plot
Kyouko doesn't contribute very much to the plot, but is a background character with Aki in many episodes. In Episode 11, she is shown listening to a tape that Takako plays over the intercom to inform the class that Mei is the "extra" student--however, unlike a lot of her peers, she and Aki don't fly into a homicidal rage over the news. In Episode 12, Kyouko is seen trying to escape the chaos while protectively wrapping her arms around Aki, seconds before she is stabbed from behind by Tomohiko Kazami and falls, leaving Aki horrified.
