1. He is shown to be able to react faster then any human would to many of Godzilla's attacks, even if the humans where to react quickly there would still be a delay, like with the other two Mechagodzillas, that would slow Kiryu down.

2. In GodzillaXMechagodzilla, they show that Kiryu has vital signs that the humans can monitor on the computer, I believe they also show it in Tokyo S.O.S but I'm not sure.

3. Kiryu appears to feel pain, when his eye is blown out in Tokyo S.O.S he seems to be in pain after crashing into the building

Now I may be wrong, but I'm curious about what you think, or if you saw more then I did If you notice Kiryu is like an Eva Unit from Neon Genesis Evangelion

1.Both are Mechas.

2. Both have a Berseker Mode.

3.Both have metal parts above organic tissue

4.Both  have restrictions to avoid  they get out control

5. at the end of the story they are autonomous of its pilots

6. Both have a soul-conscience but is asleep inside.

If we put together all this the answer is Yes, Kiryu is Alive.
