Kayama Reijo is a student who works as both the manager and bodyguard for Akeshiro Rumi, the president of the Genbu Trading Company at Shanghaijing High School. She loves kung fu and tries to connect everything in her life to martial arts, even if it doesn't make sense to others. Though she is strong and skilled in handling problems, she’s known for her unique red dress and her cheerful, quirky personality. Kayama Reijo first appears as a bodyguard during an important event in the story.
Kayama Reijo stands out with her short, bright red cheongsam dress and a sporty jacket. Her outfit is especially eye-catching, and she is described as having a very impressive figure. She has a beauty mark under her left eye, and also has moles below her collarbone and on her right thigh. She usually doesn’t carry her weapon openly, likely keeping it in her bag.
Kayama Reijo is energetic and enthusiastic, especially about kung fu and kung fu movies. She tends to see everything through the lens of martial arts, often interpreting everyday actions as some sort of kung fu move. She values the spiritual training of kung fu, using its lessons in both her personal life and at work. While she is highly professional and skilled as a manager, easily handling customer service and difficult situations, she can struggle when dealing with unpredictable children.
Despite her muscle-bound image, Kayama Reijo is also smart and good at negotiations. She is surprisingly good at showing affection to people she trusts, sometimes acting sweet and comfortable around them.
Kayama Reijo works at the Genbu Trading Company at Shanghaijing High School, serving as both the main store manager and the bodyguard for Akeshiro Rumi, who is the company president.
She is known for her martial arts passion and maintains regular morning practices. She has connections with the School Martial Arts Research Club due to her hobby and has been invited to join, but always turns them down to keep her focus on the trading company.
Kayama Reijo's ultimate goal is to become like a kung fu movie hero—she believes the real kung fu master belongs in the cafeteria, just like in the films she loves.
Kayama Reijo’s unique weapon is an assault rifle called "Meikyo Shisui." This gun is based on the real-life Type 95-B automatic rifle used by paratroopers in China.
She doesn’t modify her rifle much, mainly just giving it a new paint job, and tries to balance her kung fu and shooting skills. Although she isn’t a top sharpshooter, she works hard to get better.
Kayama Reijo has a strong professional relationship with Akeshiro Rumi, serving as her loyal manager and protector.
She does not get along well with Genryumon, a rival group to the Genbu Trading Company. She finds their way of thinking old-fashioned and often clashes with them, but she always acts professionally when handling disputes.
After meeting Sensei, Kayama Reijo becomes eager to learn from them and sometimes lets her guard down, showing a softer side.
Kayama Reijo makes her story debut during the "Dragon Martial Arts: One Shared Future" event. She appears as Akeshiro Rumi's bodyguard and supports her throughout the event.
