Keigo is usually seen hanging out with his compatriot in dramatic flair and mediocre grades, Kojima Mizuiro.
Where Keigo is the taller of the two, somewhat unkempt, and expends lots of energy in a short time, Mizuiro is short, perfectly well-groomed, and sneaky.
The difference is that Keigo has no luck no matter how hard be flatters, while women cling to Mizuiro when he doesn’t even try.

 Keigo - Television Tropes & Idioms
Keigo is a Japanese dialect containing the language's most polite forms of address.
In anime, keigo speech marks a character as refined, courtly, old-fashioned, or exceptionally polite and mild-mannered.
Levels of respect can be indicated through honorifics (keigo, forms which show the elevated status of the subject), and humble words (kenjougo, forms which show the relatively low status of the speaker).

 famiresu keigo / konbini keigo | Buzzword | Trends in Japan | Web Japan
Keigo evolved over the centuries as one of the ways in which people could express respect for those above them in a particular hierarchy - the respect of a student for a teacher, for example, or of a retainer for his master.
In modern times keigo has become less prevalent, especially among younger generations, but it is still used by employees when addressing their bosses, for instance, and by shop and restaurant staff when speaking to customers.
Keigo has always tended to reflect the assumption that the more indirect speech is, the politer it becomes, but some of the keigo spoken by service-industry workers is not so much indirect as incomprehensible.

 Japanese honorifics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The system of honorifics in Japan is very extensive, including various levels of respectful, humble, and polite speech, and it closely resembles the honorific systems of the Korean language, and in some elements, Chinese.
Honorifics in Japanese are broadly referred to as keigo (敬語, literally "respectful language"), and fall under three main categories: sonkeigo (尊敬語), respectful language; kensongo (謙遜語) or kenjōgo (謙譲語), modest or humble language; and teineigo (丁寧語), polite language.
Keigo is used when attendants speak to a customer (even in the supermarket and on trains), in formal business meetings, by women in jidaigeki (in all situations) and by educated people in general.

 Matador Records | Cornelius Biography
It is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius which forges a very different path from his 1998 US debut ‘Fantasma.’ Where ‘Fantasma’ was an exaggerated media collage which deconstructed the history of pop and reassembled it into a breathtaking tangle of sound, ‘Point’ is altogether more atmospheric, involving mood-driven soundscapes.
Rather than cramming all his influences onto one record, ‘Point’ shows Keigo taking a more organic, personal approach to his art; he tells us he approached Fantasma like a 5th grader—all cut and paste—but approached this one like a grandpa, where everything has to have meaning and relate to each other.
For 27-year-old CORNELIUS (Keigo Oyamada), this history moves smoothly from 1960s songwriting outfits like the Beach Boys and the Music Machine through the Clash and Wings to late ’80s British outfits like My Bloody Valentine and Primal Scream.

 languagehat.com: JAPANESE HONORIFICS FADING.
Surprisingly, 65% of all the people that cooperated said they "are not using proper keigo." Majority of the people answered that either kindergarten and elementary school or junior high school should teach keigo.
Although there are various types of mistakes in using keigo, we all know that language change over a period of time, so making a definite conclusion about which usage is right or wrong is very difficult.
If keigo is falling out of use among young Japanese in general, it seems logical to assume that young Japanese women are less likely to use onna kotoba, traditional "women's language".

It is 敬語 (keigo), or the dreadful “levels of politeness” in Japanese.

 Konnichi what? Japanese are forgetting how to be polite | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
The Japanese have become so poor at speaking their own language that they may soon have to refer to a government manual for advice on how to be polite.
A damning report issued by a cultural affairs agency panel says that although most Japanese believe keigo - honorific or self-effacing speech - would remain an important part of their language, many are using it incorrectly.
The misuse of keigo, a series of complicated conjunctions of nouns and verbs used when addressing superiors, clients or formal gatherings, prompted the panel to call for the publication of a manual on how to speak properly.

But Keigo is ambivalent about the yakuza organization, and about his father's death, and about living itself.
Nevertheless, the relationship between Akira and Keigo, subtle but deep, is one of the most satisfying parts of this story.
One of the threads in the story is just to what extent Keigo will prove himself a yakuza in his soul, like his father- cold and ruthless- and to what extent he'll be Akira's 'son', a human being.

 Politeness levels in Japanese - Japan Reference
Broadly speaking, there are three main politeness levels in spoken Japanese: the plain form (kudaketa), the simple polite form (teinei) and the advanced polite form (keigo).
The advanced polite form, keigo, actually consists of two kinds of politeness: honorific language (sonkeigo) and humble (kenjィュgo) language.
Whereas teineigo is an inflectional system, keigo often employs many special (often irregular) honorific and humble verb forms.
