Kei Karuizawa Workout: The Classroom of The Elite Fan Fav!

Last updated on October 19th, 2022 at 12:33 pm

It’s time to bring in another female for our growing Classroom Of The Elite Inspired Workouts Database!

We did add Suzune a couple weeks ago, but so far our mini-database is being dominated by the strong males in the anime.

BUT, Kei Karuizawa is here to change that, being one of the most popular characters in the entire anime.

She was the top searched Classroom Of The Elite character between the time frame of 2017-2021, blowing by Suzune and even Koji in the last year or so.

That said, we’ll be focusing on a cosplay-oriented routine for this one, which I like to do in order to get some beginner friendly workouts on the site while also allowing for some characters that may have otherwise not made it to land inside our Anime Workouts Database.

Kei Karuizawa Stats:

Real Name:Kei Karuizawa

Height: 5′

Weight: N/A

Anime: Classroom Of The Elite

Powers: No

Kei is actually extremely short.

She’s one of the shortest female characters we have on the entire site, and we can assume she’s light between 95-115 lbs. as well.

Supergirl and Erza Scarlet were our shortest at 5’5 before Wasp came in at 5’4 and Kale, Anna and Nina Williams matching her there. BUT, now we have Caulifla at 4’8 and Sailor Moon at 4’11!  Katana is just behind her at 5’2.

We had Wonder Woman come in standing 6’0 tall, Mockingbird and Hawkgirl at 5’9, Mystique, Miss Martian, and Sonya Blade at 5’10, and Storm 5’11.

But the average height for female celebrities on the site is generally more-so ranging from 5’4-5’6 – and our Black Widow is just above that at 5’7 with Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy at 5’8.

And, the tallest we’d seen before She-Hulk was Starfire at 6’4!

But don’t worry, either way.

Not only are these routines for all shapes and sizes – they also work for both men and women – regardless of the gender of the hero.

Kei Karuizawa Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**

Every hero needs to still have a good diet.

Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.

You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.

You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.

Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.

Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Kei Karuizawa Workout Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

To learn more about Kei Karuizawa I’ll be pulling right from her Wiki Fandom page which starts us off with this for her bio section:

Kei Karuizawa is one of heroines of the You-Zitsu series as well as a second-year student of Advanced Nurturing High School. She is a prominent figure in the class and is considered to be the girl’s leader of Class D.

And normally we would skip right into her abilities section, but being that we are revolving this one around mainly cosplay I’ll be moving into her appearance section instead.

Here’s how they break it down for us:

Kei is a teenage girl of average height with waist-length blonde hair that is tied in a ponytail and purple eyes. Her school uniform consists of a light blue dress shirt below the red school blazer with rolled-up sleeves and a short white skirt. She walks in standard school shoes with light blue calf-length socks. She predominantly wears a blue ribbon around her collar. In a more casual situation, she simply wraps her school blazer around her waist and rolls up her dress shirt sleeves above the usual norm. She takes immense pride and care in having a pulchritudinous outward appearance and is known in the class to be one of the most fashionable and modish student in her class.

This helps us more with her attire for the cosplay goal more than it helps with her aesthetic, but we can keep moving into her abilities.

Here’s what they give us for that:

Kei was assessed as being subpar by the school standard. Her frequent unexplained absences and below average grades in middle school were direct reasons for her being placed in Class D. She doesn’t like academics and sports, but she is surprisingly able to compete with others in both when she is willing to exert effort. Kiyotaka deduced that if she worked hard for a short period of time, she would easily be able to attain significant improvements like Ken Sudō in her OAA.

According to both Kiyotaka Ayanokōji and Kakeru Ryūen, Kei has immense mental strength and an indomitable will to never succumb to the challenges of life. She has displayed the highest level of loyalty at the most crucial of moments when everything seems to be against her which even surprised Kiyotaka. Any normal person would had given up on life after experiencing just a fraction of what she’s been through, however, she has went against all odds and eventually found true happiness in the form of Kiyotaka. She is stalwart and will be herculean whenever Kiyotaka request her assistance, even astonishing herself sometimes at the extent she is willing to go for him. She has been shown to not remain crestfallen or depressed for long periods of time despite all the seemingly insurmountable difficulties she has faced. However, the last straw that will break the camel’s back would be that if Kiyotaka ever betrays her, in his opinion, it may be her last and final breaking point, to which she also shares the same sentiment.

After dating Kiyotaka for a few months, Kei has picked up on the ability to sense the slightest bits of changes in the atmosphere, expressions and emotions of others. She has also time and time again correctly predicted the thought process of the stoic and enigmatic Kiyotaka which amazed him on how she can read him like an open book. For example, she frightened him after her supposed guess of his pedigree was almost directly on the dot. Their relationship is also close enough that just through brief glances at one another, they are able to understand the words conveyed in their eyes, be it positive or negative. This is especially notable since even to the observant eyes of Suzune, she is still unable to grasp his true intentions despite knowing him longer.

Obviously this doesn’t help us all that much either, which is why I led with the fact that we’ll be working around a cosplay oriented routine for Kei.

That means our goals for our Kei Karuizawa Inspired Workout are:

• Kei’s Petite and Slender Physique
• Kei’s Curvy Slim Aesthetic

We will also be looking to accomplish this with the most minimal training style we can.

For that reason it will be fine for beginners to start here and not necessary to start out with our Beginner Ninja Workout unless for some reason you prefer that one.
