Kashiki is mentioned during the GamE thEorY (Week 1, Day 7) sidequest "Overheated Fanboy". Shuntaro Harima is outraged to hear that Miss Banks is dating Kashiki.
Kashiki formally appears in New Game (Week 2, Day 1). When the Wicked Twisters search for something a crowd of teenage girls care more about than Honoka Kondo, Fret notices a woman who feels familiar. Upon scanning her, they find out it is actually Kashiki cross-dressing to avoid scrutiny. Knowing that Kashiki currently rated number one on website Trendy's list of "dreamboat actors", Fret uses Remind to attract the crowd of girls to Kashiki and away from Honoka.
Miss Banks herself mentions him in the sidequest "A Peroxidoll's Problem", as she stresses over the controversy about her and Kashiki's relationship.
The sidequest "Kashiki's Koncern" is about Kashiki, frustrated by his lack of lines as a TV series' main character, being possessed by Noise. Nagi Usui Dives into him to erase the Noise. He decides to make all of his lines count despite the very little lines he has.
