Keireko

Keireko is the het ship between Keiji Shinogi and Reko Yabusame from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Canon
Reko is not too trusting of Keiji, and appears to not treat him that kindly. Her bias against men is likely the major reason for this.

On the morning of the first day on the third floor, Alice asks Sara what she thinks of Reko. Depending on Sara's answer, Keiji makes a different comment about Reko. If Sara says she's kind, he says that she doesn't have any mercy for men, such as himself. If Sara says she's frightening, Keiji says he thinks she treats her nicely, unlike how she treats himself.

On Day One Night, Keiji witnesses Reko breaking Mishima's monitor. On the morning of the next day, Keiji asks Reko if she knows anything about the incident. Sara can ask if they're flirting with each other. While Keiji jokingly replies yes, Reko protests that he's just questioning her. Keiji teases that she'd be a good detective. Reko makes him leave, and she seems relieved afterward, although possibly just because she wanted to show Sara something.

Reko and Keiji are both available as partners for the Spirit Shutter attraction. Both are afraid of the ghosts but show it in different ways. Reko is very high-strung and trembling while Keiji just tries not to look at them, for it'll bring up memories of his past.

4-koma comics
# 24: Kanna asks Reko if Keiji might be her romantic type.

# 34: Keiji invites Reko to have some wine with him, making her heart beat loudly, and she accepts. They then start eating a meal, but it's just raw eggs. Keiji is happily crunching on his pile of eggs, but Reko is put off by her egg. She asks Keiji where the wine is, and then is confused when Kai suddenly appears to bonk Keiji on the head for eating raw eggs. Keiji warns Reko about talking at that moment but she insists he listen to her.

Fanon
Keireko is a small pairing due to other ships, mainly Keishin and Naoreko being much more popular. Reko tending to be on unfriendly terms with Keiji and the common headcanon of Reko being a lesbian hinders the popularity of the ship. The two pretty much have opposite personalities, but that's part of what makes the ship attractive. With Keiji's laid-back nature, and Reko's more energetic personality, they would balance each other out.
