KiriKami, or Kirishima/Kaminari, is a slash ship in the fandom Boku no Hero Academia.
Canon
Fandom
While not one of the juggernaut ships of the fandom, KiriKami is popular. It's sometimes found as a background ship, particularly in bakudeku works, but it is not difficult to find KiriKami-focused stories. It is also commonly tagged with polyship works, particularly Bakguou/Kaminari/Kirishima but there are many variations.
Common Tropes & Fanon
| Examples Wanted: Editors are encouraged to add more examples or a wider variety of examples. |
Like attracts like: In fanon both are often characterized as upbeat, outgoing, and even goofy. Fanworks might emphasize these similarities or explore the ways they're differently sunny (e.g. Kirishima supportive of his classmates, Kaminari being more of a show-off and class clown, though these interpretations can vary a lot across fanworks).
