Kiibo was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen Roleplay: Season 3, and on Season 5 of Hell's Kitchen Roleplay: Rookies Vs Veterans (Season 25). He ranked in 3rd place in Season 23, and ranked in 9th place in Season 25.
Personality[]
Kiibo was a calm, sincere and selfless individual, who typically lacked confidence in himself at times. However, he's also shown a huge level of determination and bravery, even fighting through pain when he sliced himself during prep and seared off the cut. He would always consider others before himself, such as giving up his punishment pass for Brent and Mick to go on a reward instead of him. In addition, he would take notes on the interactions that happen between chefs. In the kitchen, he became one of the stronger voices of the blue kitchen and later one of the most consistent chefs of the season, completely avoiding nomination. He was never afraid to be blunt and honest, and always admitted whenever he made a mistake. He formed especially close friendships with Brent and Mick and also got along well with Pory and Brynn. However, he had a dislike towards Abby, due to her incompetence and attitude, and had a mutual dislike towards both Hugh and especially Terrence.
In Season 5, he still has his skills in tact, and he has gained a lot more confidence since RP Season 3. He still generally remains calm and collected, and he doesn't get angry often at all. He's now even closer with Michelle, Pory, Brynn, and Riyonn as well as gaining friendships with Hal, Daisy, Morbius, and Undead. However he has taken a dislike to S Travey, Betsy and Quandale and has a running feud with Jamal.
