I agree with the first part of Maddog98's reply, while the promo did show us a shadowed buddyfighter it doesn't mean Kiri is the said buddyfighter just because we barely know about him. His last name does mean  ice dragon, but the major issue with that part of the theory is we don't know if Ice Blade Joker is even a dragon.

So unless the anime does show him getting it we can't say he is going to. In my opinion Ice Blade Joker's buddyfighter might be that person in the picture from the first episode that looks like Gao with green in his hair instead of red.
