Kimiyoshi Kiichirō is a character in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series. He is the chief of Hinamizawa village, and head of the Kimiyoshi House. His status as village chief is more like a symbolic title, since the Sonozaki House, lead by Sonozaki Oryō, are the true power in Hinamizawa. He also seemingly led the anti-dam movement during the Hinamizawa Dam Conflict, when Oryō was actually in control behind the scenes. He is murdered by Sonozaki Shion in both Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen, and is killed in the Great Hinamizawa Disaster in Tatarigoroshi-hen, Minagoroshi-hen, and Yakusamashi-hen.
