He and Kirino Ranmaru also seem to develop a dislike or rivalry towards each other when they first meet. Though, when he tricks a person or teammate, just like how he tricked Kageyama Hikaru, his personality bears a similarity with Kogure Yuuya.
His negativity can be compared to be the same as Fudou Akio's actions like making violent tackles, the only difference is that Kariya does not show his violent attitude all the time and mostly hides it. He also seems like a person that is scared very quickly, for example when he and Kurama found out the Karakuri Heibayou were moving. Yamana Akane even describes him to be scary looking. In other words, he's good at deceiving people. Kariya appears to mask his rude demeanor and negativity towards others with a calm, timid, nice personality, similar to Fubuki Shirou. He wears a white, brown and black knight uniform.
In the shoes are green-brown with a gray line too. He wears a green-brown shirt with gray lines and without sleeves. He has sharp eyes with brownish-gold irises accompanied by lashes similar to Tsurugi Kyousuke's. Kariya has dull teal hair and a normal height. He has an agreeable attitude on the outside, but is relentless on the inside.'
