fandom.07th-expansion | # Miyao Mitake
, from AOU Japan, is the main protagonist of and the leader of the Gauntlet Knight squad Warcat.
Profile.
"From AOU JapanA member of the 0017th Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad "Warcat" of the AOU Combined Military Central HQ"
"The current world record holder for highest P3 level measurements. His overwhelming score far surpassed second place.Current Gauntlet engineering is unable to make use of most of his P3 potential, so he's currently in a state where his talent has outstripped technology.Because of his unique level of ability, the AOU Next Generation Genetic Research Center and the AOU Joint Parliament have budgeted $100,000,000 towards his genetic analysis."
Appearance.
Miyao has short, red hair with yellow eyes. He wears a white coat with what resembles a harness and black shorts with black socks and brown shoes. His Gauntlet resembles medieval knight armor.
His height is pretty short and he's been teased by Jayden for that very often.
Personality.
Miyao likes to play around on his off-time, but during training and simulations he acts very harsh, marking down everything his squad mates do wrong and punctuating it with something positive. Miyao displays very strong leadership abilities and responsibility.
Relationships.
Jayden.
Miyao and Jayden are best friends, and they often duel each other during training. Their friendship hits a rocky path after Meow's existence is revealed and Jayden starts to treat Miyao differently, but they get over it.
Meow Mitake.
Miyao and Meow have a brother-sister relationship. They sometimes bicker over how Miyao treats his body, as part of the reason he doesn't want to exercise and build muscle is because he thinks Meow won't like it.
MIYAO.
MIYAO claims to be an alternate personality of Miyao. He frequently speaks to Miyao in his mind and mocks his attempts at striving for world peace while telling him about the impending tragedies. In Phase 1, Chapter 24, Miyao begrudgingly forms an alliance with MIYAO and considers he may be telling the truth.
Toujirou Mitake.
Miyao and Toujirou don't talk often due to Miyao always training and Toujirou traveling the world. Miyao frequently calls him "the old bastard," but he genuinely respects Toujirou for raising him and listens to his advice.
Special Abilities.
High Output P3 User (SS)
"The fact that his average P3 levels surpass the maximum output of the average member of the Aerial Augmented Infantry proves that he's a Gauntlet Knight prodigy. As Gauntlet technology improves, he'll probably be able to draw out more and more of his true worth."
"Cluster Missile Guidance (SS) "
"His specialties are simultaneous attacks against multiple targets and saturation attacks against a single target, performed by simultaneously yet precisely controlling overwhelmingly large numbers of high-maneuverability guided missiles. This suggests that he's capable of carrying out all his duties perfectly."
Friendly Observation (S)
"He observes the movements of friendly units even more closely than his enemies. In battle, he constantly thinks about coordinating with his allies, and in training, he's capable of thoroughly nitpicking his allies once their training is over."
Background.
Miyao is ciconia-born, a rarity in the AOU. He was raised by his biological father Toujirou and undertook PP training at a very early age, going on to become one of the best Gauntlet Knights in the world.
MIYAO suggests that Miyao is actually a clone of the original Miyao and has fabricated memories, designed to be a murder program.
Role in the Story.
For You, the Replaceable Ones.
Much of the story centers around Miyao and his experiences as a Gauntlet Knight. He and his squad Warcat display great results at the International Battle Standard Festival, with Miyao dueling the COU ace Lingji and losing. Miyao eventually creates the It's A Wrap Public Bath virtual room, uniting other Gauntlet Knight squads and aces around the world. He arranges a Public Bath Oath where the Gauntlet Knights swear not to attack retreating enemies and not to kill each other.
Miyao soon comes into conflict with MIYAO, an entity who claims to be Miyao from the future and makes predictions of Miyao killing his fellow Gauntlet Knights Lingji, Koshka, and Jayden. He also claims that Miyao is a program made for the purpose of killing them and that in the end the Gauntlet Knights will all kill each other; Miyao rejects him and swears that the Gauntlet Knights will get along.
Miyao is revealed to have another, female personality inside him named Meow, and she becomes romantically involved with Jayden. Miyao and Jayden face some issues due to Jayden treating him like a girl, and they soon duke it out and resolve it.
As tensions worldwide begin rising, Miyao and other Gauntlet Knights show concern over being deployed for actual combat. They all start to believe that there's some criminal mastermind instigating wars, and they all decide to carry out their missions in such a way that nobody actually dies. After the initial worldwide conflicts, MIYAO reappears with proof that Miyao is a murder program and shows him an image of someone he's supposed to kill. Miyao later speaks to his father Toujirou and learns he's the Grand Master of a chivalric order he made.
In Chapter 15, Miyao officially forms the Order of the Public Bath, recruiting Gauntlet Knights worldwide for the purpose of upholding world peace. They swear not to die and not to kill, making missions intentionally fail. This proves to be a heated topic of discussion later on as the worldwide conflicts ramp up in intensity, making it difficult to keep to the Public Bath's oath.
In Chapter 22, the Ninth Prime Chivalric Order, who had infiltrated the Public Bath, catches on to Miyao's plans and assassinates a key person who could have helped him. Afterwards, Warcat is deployed to the Glass Sea again, and they create a farce where Miyao and Gunhild help an enemy squad survive by taking control of their Gauntlets and dodging missiles launched by Jayden.
In Chapter 24, MIYAO continues pestering Miyao about him being a program and causing a horrible future, and Miyao decides to listen to him; if there is undeniable proof that Miyao is a program made to destroy the world, then he will disappear.
In Chapter 25, many superior officers in governments worldwide begin to notice that Gauntlet Knights are sabotaging missions because of Miyao's Order, and they appoint analysts to ensure things go smoothly. Miyao accepts this turn of events and invites every Gauntlet Knight in the world to join a virtual Christmas party as they fight to the death in real life.
At the climax, Miyao has a midair fistfight with Lingji and tries to make her calm down after she sends a message permitting her ally Knights to kill. Toujirou soon hacks into Miyao's Gauntlet and forces him to kill Lingji, leaving him to wonder what had just happened.
The Data Fragments show more insight into Miyao's training as a Gauntlet Knight.

See Miyoko Tanashi for more information.
Role in the Story.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Question Arcs.
Onikakushi.
Takano first appears without a sprite when Keiichi is being given a tour of Hinamizawa by Rena and Mion, with Mion introducing her as a clinic nurse. Takano is first properly introduced on the night of the Watanagashi Festival when Keiichi sees her with Tomitake. Her name is not given, however she is shown to be close with Tomitake. The group talks about Oyashiro-sama's curse and the victims it claimed in the past years, and that more victims will probably be claimed that night.
The day after the festival, Keiichi learns from Ooishi that Takano had gone missing. This is the first time her name is given. Keiichi later learns about her working at the Irie Clinic.
Watanagashi.
Keiichi and Shion meet Tomitake and Takano at the Furude Shrine during festival preparations. They talk about Oyashiro-sama and the curse, delving into Hinamizawa's past of elitism and how the villagers used to give sacrifices to their god. Takano wonders who will die and disappear for this next year of the curse, frightening Keiichi.
On the night of the festival, Takano and Tomitake break into the shrine's ritual storehouse, and they allow Keiichi and Shion to come inside with them. While gazing at the strange implements and devices stored inside the storehouse, Takano starts talking about Hinamizawa's origins and how they were descended from demons, and that villagers used these implements long ago to offer human sacrifices as part of the original Watanagashi Festival. Their discussion is interrupted when Tomitake suddenly opens the door. Takano begins taking pictures inside the storehouse as Shion and Keiichi leave. Takano sets off with Tomitake for the night after finishing her business.
The next day, Keiichi learns from Shion that the police discovered Takano's corpse burnt inside an oil drum near the mountains, which they could identify because of dental records. Keiichi thinks Takano and Tomitake were killed as punishment for trespassing into the ritual storehouse.
At the climax of the chapter, Keiichi learns from Ooishi that after further investigation, they determined that Takano's time of death was 24 hours before the festival; she was supposed to be dead while Keiichi was inside the storehouse with her.
Tatarigoroshi.
Keiichi meets Takano and Tomitake two days before the festival, where they talk about the curse. Keiichi wonders if Satoko's uncle Teppei could be made the fifth year victim of the curse, and Takano notes that it's not impossible since many of the previous curse victims were Houjous. Keiichi asks if there could be a human force responsible for carrying out the curse every year, and Takano shares her theory that The Three Families are behind it. Keiichi is inspired to ask Mion to use her connections to make Teppei the victim of this year's curse, but Mion tells him that the Sonozakis have nothing to do with it and that Takano is just misunderstanding things.
On the night of the Watanagashi Festival, shortly after Keiichi kills Teppei and buries his corpse, he starts biking home in the rain and is almost hit by Takano in her car. Takano gets out and helps him up, seemingly aware that Keiichi's lying when he claims he was heading home from treasure hunting; Takano points out that the dam is in the opposite direction Keiichi was going. Keiichi considers killing Takano, but he decides against it and takes up her offer for a ride home.
Takano asks if they could retrieve his bike tomorrow since the trunk is full, but Keiichi wants to bring it with him. He puts the bike in the backseat of her car and notices there's another bike folded up there. As they drive, Takano suddenly asks how well the body was buried, mentioning that in mountains like these, they need to be buried deep otherwise wild dogs will smell and dig them up. Keiichi becomes more suspicious of Takano and considers killing her again, but Takano brushes off her weird statement as a joke. They go to Keiichi's house where Takano asks that he keep their night drive a secret. Keiichi asks if that bike in the back belongs to Tomitake, remembering that he had a similar one. Takano claims that that's her bike, which was similar to Tomitake's because he picked it out. Takano leaves off with an ominous message that they never met that night and drives off. Keiichi decides that he really should've killed Takano and wishes for her to die in a fire.
Two days later, Keiichi learns that Takano has died, her corpse found burnt inside an oil drum. Keiichi thinks that he really did curse her to die.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai.
Meakashi.
In 1982, Takano meets Shion at the Okinomiya library and sees she's also doing research into Hinamizawa's past. They talk about the curse and the origins behind the watanagashi. Takano gives Shion her research notes and leaves.
In 1983, a similar event to the "Watanagashi" arc happens where Takano and Tomitake invite Keiichi and Shion into the ritual storehouse with them. After the festival, Takano's corpse is found burnt inside an oil drum. Shion interrogates Mion as to why Takano and Tomitake were chosen as victims, however Mion shows surprise at the knowledge that they snuck into the storehouse.
Tsumihoroboshi.
A few days before the Watanagashi Festival, Takano encounters Rena at the Okinomiya library and talks with her about the curse and Hinamizawa's past. Takano tells Rena of her theory that there are people masterminding the curse who want to revive the customs of Onigafuchi Village. She gives Rena a scrapbook containing her research and leaves. Later, Rena meets Takano again and explains how she suffered from Oyashiro-sama's wrath after leaving Hinamizawa years ago, especially the sensation of maggots crawling through her skin at some points. Takano believes her story and gives her some more scrapbooks, thinking Rena to be one of the few people who can understand them. Takano asks Rena to keep this a secret, saying that "they" will get rid of her otherwise.
Rena learns from the books that alien parasites came to the village long ago and starts believing there is a conspiracy afoot involving the Three Families. After the festival, Rena's paranoia grows when she learns from Ooishi that Takano's corpse was found burnt inside of an oil drum. Ooishi later tells Rena that inspection of Takano's corpse determined that she was supposed to have died 24 hours before the festival.
Rena takes the Hinamizawa school hostage and demands that the police raid Sonozaki family properties, believing they're involved in the conspiracy outlined in Takano's books. Ooishi and the police believe there's credence to them until they obtain some more of Takano's scrapbooks, retrieved from her house by the Sonozaki family. All of them contain different theories for Hinamizawa's past and amount to speculative fiction.
In the future, long after the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, Takano's alien theory has become spread on the Internet as "File No. 34", which predicted the disaster occurring.
Minagoroshi.
A narrator speaks to the reader about Rules X, Y, and Z, outlining that Rule Y centers around Takano and Tomitake dying in the same way in every world.
Takano tends to Satoko during her regular checkup at the clinic, giving her an injection and then a quiz. Later, Rika and Hanyuu ponder the value of Takano as a guardian. Takano and Tomitake always die even if Rika gets their help, with Rika dying afterwards because she loses their protection. Rika decides to get their help anyways by allowing Tomitake and Takano to enter the ritual storehouse. Takano is elated at this once in a lifetime chance and goes off about the history of the various torture implements hanging inside. Hanyuu is annoyed by Takano claiming that Oyashiro-sama was a violent god and throws a tantrum. Takano is unable to hear her however. Rika reminds Takano not to anger Oyashiro-sama. After leaving the storehouse, Rika tells Takano about her problem.
Takano, Tomitake, and Irie join a budget meeting for the clinic. Afterwards, Takano tells Irie about Rika fearing that someone is out to kill her. Takano is convinced to help since Rika showed them the ritual storehouse and assigns some Mountain Dogs to watch over her 24/7.
When Teppei returns to the village and takes Satoko to live with him, Rika pleads Takano to do something to help. Takano speaks with Okonogi and reports that there isn't anything they can do. The Mountain Dogs could take care of Teppei, but he's been suspected of murder by the Okinomiya police, so they're keeping close watch on him.
Takano joins the village in protesting the child consultation center to save Satoko. The protests are ultimately successful.
The night of the festival, Rika reminds Tomitake and Takano about their predicted deaths and tells them to be careful. Later at the clinic, Takano talks to Tomitake that her dream will come true and tries to seduce him, asking if he'll join her plan. Tomitake refuses and Takano sics some Mountain Dogs to restrain him. Takano asks again but her lover refuses once more. Takano pulls out a syringe of H173 and explains to Tomitake that he's already an L3 patient of Hinamizawa Syndrome, having injected him with it earlier disguised as one of his regular shots. Tomitake gets knocked unconscious and Takano injects him. She orders the Dogs to put Tomitake and his bike in her car. Takano also tells the dogs to keep close watch on Irie and Rika since the latter knew exactly what would happen to Tomitake that night.
Takano injects Tomitake with an advanced strain of Hinamizawa Syndrome and dumps his unconscious body on the side of the road, expecting him to wake up and soon kill himself. Takano also plans to make herself "disappear" as the fifth victim of Oyashiro-sama's curse, and when her subordinates discover a burnt corpse in the mountains, Takano uses it to trick the police into thinking its hers.
Takano dumps Tomitake's body on a road near Okinomiya, expecting him to wake up and claw his own throat out as the fifth year of Oyashiro-sama's curse. Takano then goes into a command vehicle and plans to fake her disappearance and death, completing the curse. A Dog tells her that a woman's burnt corpse was found in Gifu prefecture that died 24 hours ago, and Takano decides to pass it off as her own corpse to throw off police investigation. A few days after the festival, Rika realizes that Takano is the mastermind and Okonogi can't be trusted. Ooishi has also determined that Takano's death was faked, however she and her car are nowhere to be found. Ooishi gets a search warrant out for Takano. Meanwhile, Takano puts on her army uniform.
Rika rallies the club for help and stakes out with them in her shack, running away when some Mountain Dogs appear. However, Takano catches them by surprise when she manages to shoot and kill Keiichi. The other club members are captured, and Takano systematically executes them one by one. Satoko is given a surprise quiz and asked if broccoli or cauliflower is green. Satoko answers broccoli on her second try and is killed, with Takano cackling afterwards.
Takano finally goes up to Rika, who requests that Takano dissect her, still conscious, in front of the Furude Shrine. Takano accepts her request and excitedly disembowels her while Rika and Hanyuu engrave into their memories the face of the person they must defeat in the next world. Rika dies, and Takano carries out the Great Hinamizawa Disaster by having her men gather up all the villagers and execute them, planning to pass it off as a volcanic gas disaster. Takano declares she is now Oyashiro-sama and laughs.
Matsuribayashi.
Much of this arc describes Takano's past as Miyoko Tanashi and her quest to make her grandfather's research into Hinamizawa Syndrome known. Takano goes to Hinamzawa and gives a mocking donation of a single coin to the Furude Shrine, expressing her desire to become a god. However, the coin is rejected when it flies away from the donation box, and Hanyuu appears to challenge her. Takano says her will is stronger and swears to dethrone Hanyuu.
The Connecting Fragments section details Takano's involvement in some years of Oyashiro-sama's curse, masterminding the kidnapping of several people for Hinamizawa Syndrome research. Takano forms an alliance with Nomura to plan the Great Hinamizawa Disaster.
Hanyuu obtains a physical body and joins the club. One day she trips down a hill and Takano and Tomitake help her up. Takano notices that Hanyuu is a new student and says that her horns look like a monster's. Rika tells Takano not to call Hanyuu that, and Tomitake chastises her as well.
Irie and Takano eat lunch and talk at the clinic. Takano talks about how her parents died in an accident long ago and how she liked to collect flags from kid's meals. She only gained a medical license because she wanted to research more into Hinamizawa Syndrome. Takano also talks about her adoptive grandfather Dr. Takano and changed her name to a similar one in honor of him, and that the late doctor became bedridden. Takano asks Irie what he would do if he were responsible for pulling someone off life support. Irie says he would let that person's remaining family do it and then goes back to work.
Takano takes a phone call from Okonogi and tells the Mountain Dogs to begin observing Rika. Meanwhile, Rika gains Tomitake, Irie, and Akasaka as allies when she tells them about Takano's plans. Rika prepares a plan with the club as well.
The day before the festival, Takano and Nomura talk on the phone. Takano asks if Tomitake's life can be spared if she makes him an ally, however Nomura says there is no value to him regardless. Takano ends the call and then calls Tomitake's hotel to leave a message, however he left the hotel for a while. Takano thinks about what he might be doing since she left several messages earlier. Unbeknownst to her, Tomitake was growing suspicious of Takano and investigating the massive amount of funds left to her by Koizumi. Takano hopes that Tomitake isn't growing a bad impression of her and wonders if he'll forgive him even if he found out about her plan.
The day of the festival, Takano is called into the command vehicle and gets a report that Rika has been found dead in Okinomiya, and she's been dead for 48 hours. (A ruse created by Rika with Ooishi's cooperation to fake her death.) Takano can't believe this as the villagers are still acting normal, and according to her queen carrier theory they should've developed terminal symptoms earlier. Their observation of Rika's house confirmed that no suspicious activity occurred, and Rika should've been inside that house all this time.
Takano worries over this and starts scratching herself. Nomura asks Takano what she's going to do about Rika's death, and Takano insists that it must be a mistake with the Okinomiya police and sends some men to investigate. Takano determines that Irie betrayed her and informed Tomitake of her plan. She sends some other men to watch the doctor. Meanwhile, the Mountain Dogs capture Tomitake and Takano says to bring him alive to the clinic.
Irie calls Rika's house from the clinic director's office and Takano and the Mountain Dogs listen in, only to hear dial tones. Irie starts running away towards his car, and Takano realizes that Irie made a fake call and order the Dogs to capture him. When Akasaka suddenly emerges from Rika's house, Takano orders the mysterious man's capture as well.
The Mountain Dogs confront the club at the Sonozaki main house but are forced to retreat. Takano looks down at Tomitake tied up at her feet and asks if he will join her, offering to spare his life. Takano says she's allied with a woman named Nomura, and Tomitake wishes he could've been there to help Takano when she needed it. He says that Takano can still stop the operation and make everything disappear, but Takano still wants to make Dr. Takano's research known. Takano believes that she will suddenly be killed sometime after the operation and asks Tomitake again how much money it will take to recruit him. She offers her body and complete servitude, but Tomitake says nothing in response. Takano gets a call that Rika has been found in the mountains and leaves.
Takano joins the Mountain Dogs at the mountains and is angered when she sees them all succumb to Satoko's traps. She holds her grandfather's notebook and continues to scratch herself. When the Bloodhounds arrive, Takano is dragged away by Okonogi into the woods. Takano demands to know what's going on and orders the Mountain Dogs to contact Nomura and tell her the operation is still going, but Okonogi accepts that it's all over. Okonogi say that nobody in Tokyo really believed in Takano's theory and just needed something to manipulate politicians. He gives Takano a gun loaded with a single bullet, expecting her to kill herself with it. Takano is reluctant, and Okonogi says he can kill her himself instead. Okonogi misses his shot and Takano runs off.
Takano runs into Hanyuu in the woods, who admonishes her for thinking she could claim the spot of a god. Hanyuu asks Takano to take her own life since it would prove she can sacrifice herself for everyone else's sins. Takano refuses, wondering why somebody has to take the blame for people's wrongs and starts crying. Hanyuu decides to forgive Takano's sins and touches her head, with the other club members soon appearing. Takano aims her gun at the group and threatens to shoot. Mion prepares to defend the club when Hanyuu stands in front of her as Takano shoots. Hanyuu is prepared to die again to absolve everyone's sins, but Rika stops time and grabs the bullet. When time resumes, Takano is surprised to see that her close-range shot missed.
The Bloodhounds crowd in and demand Takano to surrender. Takano drops her notebook and tries to pick it back up as the Bloodhounds restrain her. Tomitake appears and explains that Takano has started succumbing to Hinamizawa Syndrome and needs to be treated, pointing out that Takano's been scratching herself for some time. Tomitake demands that Takano be given a checkup to determine if her actions today were by her own will or as a result of the syndrome. The Bloodhounds agree and Takano embraces Tomitake, who assures that she'll be able to restart her life as Miyoko Tanashi. Tomitake forgives Takano and promises to atone for her sins. Takano is handcuffed and taken to the Irie Clinic.
In the future, Irie publishes a report about Hinamizawa Syndrome and credits both Takano and her grandfather in it, though Takano herself hasn't been seen since that day. The credits say that Takano's Hinamizawa Syndrome has become severe, and once her treatment at the Irie Clinic finishes, she will be handed over to the disciplinary committee.

is a mysterious researcher who knows much about the strange circumstances in Hirasaka.
Appearance.
Takano has long hair, depicted as blonde on the front cover of volume 4. She is often seen wearing a leather vest over shorts and leather boots. She carries a shotgun with her.
Background.
"The First and the Last Gift" shows that Takano was created by Lambdadelta as her “other self”, a piece created for the purpose of playing in Bernkastel’s game board.
Takano is a researcher who studies folk legends, gaining a love for it because of her grandfather's work. She has memories of her grandfather trying to make a grand theory but being harshly criticized for it. "The First and the Last Gift" shows that when her grandfather passed away, he left her a large sum of money. Takano used this money to pursue research and learned about Hirasaka and the legends of it being a gateway to Hell, seemingly connected to the strange disappearances reported there. Takano traveled to Hirasaka in 1983 and, true to her suspicions, wound up in Hell.
It is later revealed that Takano eventually died when she went to Hell and became a demon. However, Takano managed to maintain her human form for a long time despite the changes to her appetite because of her strong attachment to her human life.
Personality.
Takano is very mysterious and mocking at times, yet fearless. She rarely falters when fighting off the horrors in Hell, attributed to the fact she owns a gun.
She carries around a box full of tiny country flags, her lucky charm.
Story.
The First and the Last Gift.
Takano is created by Lambda and inserted into Bern’s game board.
Takano travels to Hirasaka by motorcycle in 1983 after doing much research into the village, planning to camp out there and test her hypothesis. She describes the religious precepts of the villagers and how they ostracize people who break the rules. Takano goes to the wash basin at the entrance of the village and purposely drops the water ladle, thinking about any villagers nearby would surely be offended.
Takano and some other villagers suddenly get transported to another world with two suns. Takano finds her motorcycle will no longer start and sets off with her shotgun. She runs into a girl named Chiharu Nakamura, whose family moved to Hirasaka a year ago. Chiharu offers Takano to come back to her house and stick with her family, seeing as there are only six other people in the village. Takano agrees and then writes down the event in her notebook. Inspired by Chiharu talking about some pretty fireflies she saw last night, Takano decides to title her notebook "When the Fireflies Glow".
Hotarubi no Tomoru Koro ni.
Takano appears in the prologue traveling to Hirasaka in 1983.
Takano is introduced saving the Tadamura family from wild dogs using her shotgun. Takano goes home with them, where she introduces herself as just Takano and explains many things about how this village works: there's a protective charm in their house, food rots faster, the fog gives headaches, and the best times to travel are at dusk or twilight since monsters roam the land at other times; they really are in Hell. Takano stresses that the family can't expect rescue services to come, so they should learn to use their survival skills. After looking pained for a moment, Takano leaves and refuses the family’s offer to eat dinner with them. She hopes they'll meet again.
In her safehouse, Takano writes in her notebook and expresses her desire to escape Hell and show her research to the world, thinking of her grandfather and looking at her flags as she says this. Suddenly, she sees the Tadamuras driving towards her house in the distance. Takano thinks it's unfortunate and giggles since they'll find "her", looking towards a hatch in the floor. Takano realizes that she's also in a bad state herself, sweating and biting her hand.
Takano abandons the house and leaves the Tadamuras to take it over, who open the hatch to find a naked and bound Chiharu. The group finds a journal talking about how Chiharu was friends with a woman named Miyoko, who became bedridden and was vomiting up everything she ate.
Chiharu transforms into a demon when she leaves the house, and the family struggles to bring her back inside and under the protection of the charm. Takano watches from afar and laughs, commenting that they would've had a much harder time if they did it at night and not dusk. Demons start to encroach upon the house because the charm protecting it got destroyed. The family runs from the house on foot and soon contend with Chiharu, who has transformed fully into a demon because of the night time. Takano buys time for the group to escape by shooting her with her shotgun.
Takano reunites with the family at the Hirasaka Community Center and becomes confused since she's never seen the place before. She sees that the group is reading a picture book titled "Tales of Hell" and is pleased since those were the kind of ancient documents she wanted. Takano explains her research methods, saying that she had no choice but to take certain occult texts as undeniable truth. She eventually was able to discern how and when Hirasaka would transform into Hell, ending up there herself at the right time. Thus, they should assume "Tales of Hell" was a firsthand account of someone traveling to Hell and getting out alive, which should contain the hint to escaping. As they read on, Takano explains some of the etymology behind Hirasaka's name and its background.
The group learns that they must travel to Hell's Cauldron and pray for their parents' salvation, which should allow everyone to escape. The family members all remember it being a regular area from their childhood, and Takano says she's been to the place and has pictures. She holds up an old roll of film and acts surprised when Teruya asks if she's really still using film cameras. Takano clutches her stomach and excuses herself, leaving the family to debate if they really want to make the perilous trek to Hell's Cauldron. In a corner somewhere, Takano throws up and wills herself to keep going. When she rejoins the group later, she takes a puzzled look at Teruya's smartphone.
The five set off for the cauldron the next day during the dawn. Takano says that oni hate the light and that this was the most opportune time to travel since at other times they would be running into oni heading outside. Once they reach the inside of the cauldron, several oni appear. Takano draws their attention by shooting her gun and leaves the others to find their parents. Takano shoots at the oni a few times when she accidentally drops her gun and is seemingly crushed.
Takano emerges unscathed and rejoins the group, watching them succeed at praying for their parents and sending them off to the afterlife. The next morning, Takano sees that Terumi is writing down her experiences in a book titled "When the Fireflies Glow" and shows off her own book with the same coincidental title. They set off for the entrance to Hirasaka to travel back to the living world, however Takano still looks very pale and weak. Before they can cross the threshold, Yue suddenly grabs Takano and tells her she can't go, as she can see her true form now. Yue explains that Takano's been dead for years: Not once has Takano ever eaten human food when she was with them. Takano's first name name must be Miyoko, the woman mentioned in the journal as being bedridden and throwing up everything she ate, the same as what Tsunemasa went through. The article they found about Chiharu's family proved they came to Hirasaka in 1983, and it's 2016 now. Takano wasn't aware that film cameras were out of style, she didn't know what a smartphone was, and she had no idea about the community center's existence since it was built after her time. Yue declares that Takano died in 1983 and became a demon when she went to Hirasaka, but she's hung on to her human form all this time.
Takano demands to be let go and shoots Yue with her gun. She grows to a massive size, similar to the other demons, and crushes Yue before creating several weapons out of dirt and attempting to attack the others. However, Yue regenerates herself and restrains Takano with tentacles emerging from the ground, slicing her to muddy pieces. Takano tries to mend herself and Yue takes pity on her, saying that she has suffered all this time but will now be saved. Yue prays, and Takano melts into the ground.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Miyoko Tanashi/Article
is the main antagonist of . Feeling that her grandfather's research went ignored, she sought to prove it to the world and become revered as a god, taking the name of Miyo Takano and masterminding the Great Hinamizawa Disaster.
Profile.
"A girl who lost her parents in a traffic accident, went to an orphanage, and is now living with her father's teacher, Hifumi Takano."
Appearance.
Miyoko's child self is not given a sprite in the original visual novels. Adaptations and ports show her as a young girl with blonde hair, which is carried over to her adult self.
As an adult, Miyoko wears a green jacket adorned with a green ribbon with a yellow four-leaf clover on it over a pink shirt and black pants. Her military outfit is entirely black with a black beret. The same green ribbon is adorned on it.
Personality.
As a child, Miyoko loved to collect miniature flags from kids meals and aimed to get one from every country. After her experiences in the orphanage, she gained determination to do her best and started to challenge God, believing him to be unfair at times. After being taken in by Dr. Takano, Miyoko became engrossed with Hinamizawa Syndrome research and inherited the doctor's will to be akin to God, wanting her research to be known by the world.
As Miyo Takano, she seems to enjoy dissecting Hinamizawa Syndrome patients. She doesn't mind using terminal patients as guinea pigs and ending their lives prematurely since they're going to die anyway. Takano is very mocking of Oyashiro-sama due to the belief that his religion is no more than something brought about by parasites.
Background.
Miyoko was born to the Tanashi family, a fairly nondescript family. Miyoko's favorite pastime was going to the mall and would always ensure her parents would take her there if they were going out. One day, she went to a friend's house and came back to find her parents had gone out without her, later discovering that they got into a serious train accident. Her mother died in the accident and her father Takemitsu Tanashi survived, but he was missing a hand and didn't have long to live. Before he died, Takemitsu told a heartbroken Miyoko to call his former teacher Dr. Hifumi Takano.
Miyoko had no other relatives and was sent to an orphanage where she suffered from poor conditions and terrible punishments from the staff there. Not wanting to stay there any longer, in 1957 she and some friends attempted to escape on a rainy night but only Miyoko managed to elude the staff's clutches.
She came across a telephone booth and miraculously found a coin on the ground, enough for one phone call; Miyoko considered this act to be God challenging her. After remembering Dr. Takano's phone number from what her dad told her, Miyoko called him for help and was adopted by him soon after. She went to live with Dr. Takano at his study and became good friends with his friend Koizumi, a member of the Japanese army.
Miyoko became very interested in the doctor's research, especially his research into the parasitic virus Hinamizawa Syndrome and his theory about the queen carrier: a member of the Furude family whose existence was crucial to keeping the virus under control within Hinamizawa. If the queen carrier died then every villager would suffer terminal symptoms of the syndrome within 48 hours and cause chaos.
Dr. Takano always hoped for people to talk about his research for years on end and immortalize him as a god, and Miyoko started to feel the same way. She changed her name to Miyo Takano in honor of him, following a similar naming pattern: "Hifumi" literally means 1-2-3, and Miyo's name would be 3-4. Dr. Takano needed funding to fully pursue research into the syndrome and presented his current findings to politicians of the SDF, but they rejected him and his queen carrier theory because it sounded like nonsense.
Seeing how devastated her grandfather was, the young Takano aimed to prove his research to the world. In school she began research into parasites and became a model student, growing up and later graduating from college. In the meantime Dr. Takano continued to do research as best he could but contracted dementia and attempted suicide by jumping from his hospital roof. He was placed on life support, with Miyo implied to have ended his life by pulling him off of it. Koizumi approached Takano, regretful that he couldn't properly support the doctor when he was still alive, and helped her become a part of the organization Tokyo, granting her the facilities and funding she needed to pursue Hinamizawa Syndrome research. Koizumi also revealed to her that the reason the doctor's research was denied was because Hinamizawa Syndrome was the likely cause for the , and it would cause foreign relations problems if this knowledge was made public.
Miyo changed her surname to hide her relation with Hifumi: Hifumi's is written as 高野 while Miyo's is written as 鷹野. Despite how similar Takano's name was to Dr. Takano's most people never suspected they were related and assumed their similar names were a coincidence, or that she changed her name in respect of him. Takano made several allies because of Tokyo: Kyousuke Irie, a young and talented neurosurgeon who took an interest in the syndrome and signed on to try and find a treatment. They had the Irie Clinic built in Hinamizawa, giving them a base of operations. While Takano was the true leader of the clinic, she instead opted to become nurse while Irie was Director and proprietor of the clinic, as their syndrome research was top-secret. Jirou Tomitake would act as an auditor for them; he communicated between the clinic and Tokyo with orders and requests. Takano would later form a romantic relationship with him.
Tetsurou Okonogi and the Mountain Dogs were assigned to the clinic as a secret counterintelligence force: they kept the existence of the syndrome secret and captured terminal patients if they were ever found. Takano also formed an uneasy relationship with the Furude family and their daughter Rika, as she was the current queen carrier and researching her would be important to finding a cure for the syndrome.
In 1979, the clinic made great strides in their research when Takano found and captured a terminal patient of Hinamizawa Syndrome: a construction worker who alongside other workers ganged up on their boss and killed him, then hacked him to pieces. Because of the dam project going on at the time, the villagers began calling the strange death and disappearance punishment from their god Oyashiro-sama.
In 1980 Satoko Houjou became a terminal patient of the syndrome and killed her parents by pushing them off of a cliff. She was examined by the clinic and found to be a terminal patient, and as the Mountain Dogs covered up the deaths of the parents, Takano made preparations to dissect Satoko like they did with the construction worker. However, Irie instead developed the medicine C103 and successfully brought Satoko to the L3 stage, avoiding the need for dissecting and killing her while still collecting data for the syndrome due to Satoko constantly taking the medicine every day. In the mwantime, Takano developed the reagent H170, meant to induce terminal symptoms in Hinamizawa Syndrome patients.
In 1981 the Furude family suddenly decided they didn't want to cooperate with the clinic anymore, as they were getting suspicious. Takano was at a loss for what to do as they still had so much more to learn from the queen carrier. At that point the villagers believed that Oyashiro-sama's curse was real, having blamed it for the deaths and disappearances in 1979 and 1980. Takano realized that she could dispose of the Furude family and pass it off as the third year of the curse. She ordered the Mountain Dogs to take care of it, and as a result Mr. Furude was poisoned and killed, his death assumed by the villagers to be from illness while Mrs. Furude was captured in the clinic, her disappearance passed off as a suicide from drowning in Onigafuchi Swamp. Takano took pleasure in dissecting Mrs. Furude, the previous queen carrier.
In 1983 Koizumi dies. As a result, the Alphabet Project board has new anti-Koizumi members replacing many older members, and they had no interest in developing Hinamizawa Syndrome for warfare. They gave the Irie Clinic reduced funding and a time limit of three years to find a cure to the syndrome. Takano became depressed, feeling like she wouldn't be able to complete her grandfather's research in time and earn the recognition he deserved. A member from Tokyo, Nomura, then approached her and promised that if Takano could prove her queen carrier theory as legitimate then the government would have to take th syndrome seriously and give her funding. Takano becomes encouraged to carry out a massacre of Hinamizawa's villagers and begins preparing for this act.
Relationships.
Koizumi.
Koizumi has known Takano ever since she was a little girl. When Takano becomes an adult Koizumi starts teasing her more often, and she starts referring to her as Uncle. Koizumi personally gives Takano funding for Hinamizawa Syndrome research and other things, wanting to support her until the day he dies.
Satoko Houjou.
Takano works at the Irie Clinic and regularly meets Satoko. She's one of the few adults who regularly speaks to Satoko and shares a love of stuffed animals.
"Higurashi Gou" suggests that Satoko and Takano's relationship is close enough to where Takano can remember previous Fragments once Satoko becomes a looper.
Role in the Story.
Many arcs feature Takano carrying out the Great Hinamizawa Disaster behind the scenes, often faking her death using a burnt corpse in an oil drum. See Miyo Takano for her role in the story beforehand.
Meakashi.
Due to Rika being killed by Shion and being found more than 48 hours after the fact, Takano's queen carrier theory was disproven, and thus she was unable to carry out the Great Hinamizawa Disaster. The credits show that other characters are living well past 1983.
Console ports include add a bad ending to "Meakashi" that is expanded upon by additions to the Connecting Fragments: after Rika's death, Takano has earned negative favor with Tokyo due to her theory being proven false. She drinks her sorrows away in a park and sees Mion and Keiichi together. Realizing that Mion and the Sonozaki family's customs were responsible for Shion murdering Rika and thereby ruining her plans, Takano suddenly develops L5 symptoms of Hinamizawa Syndrome and kills Keiichi. Takano later speaks to an unknown Tokyo member who's been watching her movements and is seemingly killed, as the higher-ups planned to erase everything related to the syndrome after the operation failed.
Matsuribayashi.
A secret ending features Frederica Bernkastel traveling to a Fragment of Miyoko's past and changing fate just a little bit, which results in Miyoko's parents surviving the accident.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Miyoko Tanashi (Kaidan to Odorou)
is a character appearing in "Kaidan to Odorou, Soshite Anata wa Kaidan de Odoru". She becomes the target of Ohone-sama's curse shortly after Tomohiro and his friends create it.
Personality.
Miyoko is usually silent and cold. She is actually very smart and manipulative.
Story.
Miyoko is first seen at school, where she almost sees Tomohiro hiding a bone used in his friends' Ohone-sama prank. A few days later, Miyoko opens her schoolbag to find lots of bones inside of it and demands to know who did it.
Miyoko is later found sprawled on the ground, having fallen off of the stairs to the prefab building. She hit her medulla oblongata on a shovel buried in the ground and fell unconscious, being taken to the hospital later. The bizarre circumstances of the accident make Tomohiro and his friends consider that maybe Ohone-sama is real, or that someone is perpetuating the curse without their involvement. They interrogate Satou Rie, the sole witness to the accident, and learn that Miyoko may have been pushed off the stairs by an invisible force.
Miyoko awakens a few days later and accuses Satou of pushing her down, and the police do an investigation. Miyoko returns to school the next day while Satou doesn't, and the students begin to treat Miyoko with awe and respect. They begin saying that Miyoko has become the reincarnation of Ohone-sama, and anybody who speaks ill of her will be cursed as well.
Tomohiro later talks with Yuka and learns that Miyoko was the likely mastermind behind Ohone-sama's curse. She placed a letter asking to curse her inside of the Tanuki Shrine donation box and filled her own bag with bones to reveal later. After seeing Satou and her ex-boyfriend, a teacher, embracing at the school roof, Miyoko jumped off of the prefab stairs and knocked herself out; it was a plot set up by her to get revenge on Satou for stealing her boyfriend and to get revenge on the teacher for dumping her.
School lets out and Tomohiro confronts Miyoko about this information as the latter calls down to him from the school's roof. Miyoko starts calling him "father" and asks him to acknowledge her as a true curse. Tomohiro rejects her, and Miyoko says she wants to live on as a curse in the school forever before jumping from the roof. Tomohiro catches her and narrowly stops her from hitting her head on a buried shovel again. Miyoko caresses Tomohiro's face and asks if he'll acknowledge her if she still exists after the summer's over, and she soon walks off.

Miyuki is inquisitive and knows what to say to people when she gets suspicious. When she gets serious, she takes on a frightening disposition with how she glares at people.
Background.
Miyuki was born to Mamoru Akasaka and Yukie Akasaka and grew up with dreams of becoming a police officer just like her father. In 1983, Mamoru investigated Hinamizawa and went missing after the Great Hinamizawa Disaster. His body was never found, but he was presumed killed in the line of duty. Miyuki and her mother started living in police housing, where Miyuki and her friend Chisame joined a girl scouts group.
The teenage Miyuki wanted to figure out what happened to her father and did investigations on her own, but was forced to stop when her mother found out about it. In 1993, Miyuki gains information that the Hinamizawa Dam Project was going to start up again, meaning that any clues as to his disappearance were at risk of disappearing forever. Miyuki visited the locked-down Hinamizawa and met Tamurahime no Mikoto, who bestowed her the ability to use Role Cards and battle tsukuyami. Miyuki then goes back in time to the Hinamizawa of 1983 to investigate.
Role in the Story.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mei.
Miyuki is first introduced in Chapter 1, where she saves Kazuho from tsukuyami. She hears that Kazuho is a Kimiyoshi and gives her a bike ride to the mayor Kiichirou's house, where Kazuho wonders aloud if she really has traveled to 1983. Before they get there, they battle more tsukuyami. Miyuki uses this chance to question Kazuho about her comment and ends up making her so nervous she passes out.
Kazuho is brought to Miyuki's home and rests, and when she wakes up in the morning, Miyuki promises to explain everything later and gets her ready for school. When Rena goes to pick them up and asks who Kazuho is, Miyuki makes up a story that she's a new transfer student. Rena readily accepts it, greatly confusing Kazuho. Miyuki's suspicions about Kazuho also being from 1993 are confirmed.
At lunch, Miyuki and Kazuho have a private conversation where Miyuki gives her a notebook containing a handwritten victim list for the Great Hinamizawa Disaster. Miyuki reveals that she time-traveled from 1993 to 1983 just like Kazuho.
In Chapter 3, Kazuho and Miyuki visit the junkyard and meet Midori Kawata, a friend of Tomitake's who's being given a tour of the village. Kawata offhandedly mentions that the junkyard might be the place where they hid the arm from the dismemberment murder, with the group soon talking about the dam war and the series of mysterious deaths. Miyuki finds it strange that they never specified which arm it was and then asks why the right arm was missing. Kawata and Tomitake don't seem to find anything suspicious about her statement. The two adults soon leave, and Rena shows up and finds a handkerchief dropped in the junkyard, which the girls think belongs to Kawata. Rena holds on to it.
In Chapter 5, Kazuho, Miyuki, and Nao investigate where Kazuho's house should be only to find that nothing is there. They go to the Okinomiya library to do research and run into Kawata again, who gives them help. Kawata reveals that Kazuho's family died in a murder-suicide around the time of the dam war, meaning Kazuho never existed in this world since her mother died while she was pregnant with Kazuho.

In one route, the group gets attacked by Mifune's men, and Miyuki helps Mion fend them off by pulling out a gun.
After Mion explains the circumstances regarding her goal in the village, the group sets out for the Sonozaki estate and discover a motorcycle which was previously stolen by Mifune's men and hidden. Miyuki uses it to drive to Okinomiya and contact the police for help.
Miyuki returns with several police officers, including her father, but the situation with Mifune is already resolved by then. Miyuki's marriage status is then revealed to a disappointed Arakawa.
In the "Research" epilogue, Miyuki sends her investigation data to Director Minai by satellite phone. Miyuki goes back to overlooking the village and wonders if her father will ever be able to find the truth of the disaster and redeem himself.
Connecting Fragments.
The Fragment "Reversing the Gears" has Miyuki returning to the police department with her results from her Hinamizawa trip. There were strong theories that the Great Hinamizawa Disaster was man-made rather than a natural disaster, and Miyuki's inspection of the secret passage near the Sonozaki estate suggested that canisters of nerve gas were dumped there long ago.
Miyuki relays this information to her superior and mother-in-law, Senior Superintendent Sorimachi and aims to conduct a large scale investigation of the area. However, Miyuki never gets the chance to investigate as Sorimachi secretly arranges for the SDF to destroy the secret passage, believing that their time to catch the mastermind has long passed.

Mizuho goes to the chapel and remembers her past, struggling not to cry. A girl comes up from behind and asks her to stay quiet so she can "listen to her song". Suddenly, another girl falls from the roof of the school and dies. The girl introduces herself as Saki and says she and Mizuho are alike.
Detectives are called in to talk with Sister Maria about the girl's recent death. Mizuho goes up to them and says she saw someone suspicious at the scene of the crime, but the detective Ooishi hears that Mizuho was present at the last incident and Maria tries to defend her. Mizuho says she must be mistaken about earlier and leaves.
As Yukari gets some worksheets from a nun, the nun says that Mizuho's father works for a French company so her French homework should be easy. Yukari reminds her that Mizuho's father is dead, and the nun remembers that Mizuho is always carrying a notebook around and that she might've made up the story of her grandmother trying to kill her.
Shion meets with Mizuho again and learns that she saw the recent incident. Shion believes Mizuho when she says she saw someone suspicious there and promises to protect her. Shion reaches her hand out for a handshake but Mizuho thanks her instead.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Momotake
, from COU Japan, is a member of the Gauntlet Knight squad Baibao.
Profile.
"From COU Japan"
"A member of the Imperial Guard Aerial Augmented Infantry Squad "Baibao" of the COU Combined Military HQ"
"He was assigned to Baibao Squad, where -- for the sake of providing support to the COU's Queen of Aerial Augmented Infantry, Lingji -- teamwork and communication were more highly valued than high P3 levels."
"Simply going by his numerical measurements, it would be hard to call him the best candidate, but it was determined that he was the wingman most capable of maximizing Lingji's potential."
"Even so, he is now the Naha Aerial Augmented Infantry School's biggest hero since its establishment, and they recently held an unveiling ceremony for a bronze statue of him."
Appearance.
Momotake has purple hair tied into a ponytail and wears a white uniform shirt with a black hakama. He also has a katana by his side and wears black boots. His Gauntlet has an armor panel with a kabuto crest attached to it.
Personality.
Momotake speaks in an archaic way. He holds a lot of respect towards Lingji and tries to make himself look responsible. He holds strong to his ideals, even if he may face consequences for them.
Momotake's attempts to look cool and strong often backfire.
Special Abilities.
Dimensional Slice (SS)
"A finishing move possible only because, by applying his mental strength to the use of dimensional storage technology, he's able to cut his targets and make them vanish into alternate dimensions. The power of this technique is immense, but its reach is so short that it perfectly fits the definition of a 'cool' finishing move."
8MS Stealth: Shukuchi (S)
"By using 8MS airflow data, he's able to instantly move into the blind spot of an enemy's Reaper's Eye. However, he isn't able to collect this data himself, so he needs someone there to provide him with support. "
A Warrior's Stubbornness (-A)
"He stubbornly refuses to interact with people whose power he doesn't respect. Until he met Lingji, the only person whose strength he acknowledged, he was just a loner Aerial Augmented Infantry soldier who was hard to deal with. When he does find a person whose power he respects, he follows behind them like a dog. He's a bit clingy."
Story.
Momotake is first introduced in Chapter 2 with the rest of his squad at the International Battle Standard Festival and accepts the Public Bath Oath soon after. Later, Meow's existence is revealed to Jayden, and Momotake and the other male aces help the Mitakes and Jayden reconcile, later giving Jayden advice during his date.
In Chapter 11, Momotake and his squad are sent into combat to destroy ABN mining machines. Momotake is able to show off his Dimensional Slice despite his failure to make it look cool.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Mountain Dogs
The , also called the Yamainu and Wild Dogs in the official manga, are a secret military and counterintelligence unit allied with the Irie Clinic that assist in keeping Hinamizawa Syndrome's existence secret and capturing terminal patients whenever they are discovered.
Background.
The Mountain Dogs were formed by the organization Tokyo as part of the Self-Defense Force, following the trend of governments worldwide investing into secret military taskforces. To make espionage and surveying the village easier, the Mountain Dogs have some members embedded in the police and have bugs in various houses and establishments, including the queen carrier Rika's house. The Mountain Dogs also have a front company set up called Okonogi Gardeners that serves as their main base. They regularly do actual gardening so as not to arouse suspicion when they appear throughout the village.
Their main goal is to ensure research of Hinamizawa Syndrome progresses smoothly and that its existence is kept secret from outsiders at all costs, resorting to kidnappings and assassination if need be. They were especially active during the dam conflict and were responsible for kidnapping the Minister of Construction's grandson in a plan by Tokyo to shut down the dam project. The Mountain Dogs' other goals are to capture terminal patients of Hinamizawa Syndrome when they are discovered before they can cause problems and risk revealing the existence of the disease. One of their first captures was of the culprit behind the dam construction foreman's murder, who was discovered to have terminal symptoms by Miyo Takano and was soon brought in.
The next year, the Dogs were deployed by Kyousuke Irie to dispose of the body of Satoko Houjou's mother, who along with her husband was killed when Satoko pushed them off of an observation deck. The incident was made out to be an accident and threw off police investigation. Because of the similarity to last year's incident with a death and disappearance, the phenomenon known as Oyashiro-sama's curse propagated in the village. The Mountain Dogs used the curse to their advantage the following year, where they disposed of Rika's parents by the order of Takano. The cover-up of the fourth year curse victims were also implied to be the Dogs doing, done by request of Irie to protect Satoshi.
Divisions and Members.
The Mountain Dogs' members are split into four groups with approximately 23 members each, judging by their codenames:
Each group has a single leader with the number 1 suffix. Tetsurou Okonogi serves as the commander for the Phoenix group as Phoenix 1 and also commands the Mountain Dogs as a whole. Okonogi and the rest of the Dogs in turn answer to Major Miyo Takano, who sometimes commands them on behalf of Irie when the latter needs it.
Role in the Story.
The Mountain Dogs have a background presence throughout the story with their white vans and gray uniforms.
Tatarigoroshi.
The Mountain Dogs are mentioned by name for the first time. When Keiichi goes to the clinic for a checkup and confesses to Irie that he killed Teppei, the doctor starts to think he's gone insane and secretly talks with other doctors to arrange for Keiichi to be drugged and fall asleep. Irie asks for the number of male staff that are on hand just in case Keiichi turns violent, with one Mountain Dog present.
Himatsubushi.
The Mountain Dogs are shown kidnapping the Minister of Construction's son.
Tsumihoroboshi.
The Mountain Dogs are shown patrolling the village under the guise of Okonogi Gardeners and doing work at the school. Rena starts to grow suspicious of them and believes they're a death squad working for the Sonozaki family, falling further into paranoia when she calls their company number and finds that the Okonogi Gardeners apparently don't exist. Unbeknownst to her the number given to Chie was an old number and was out of service. A gardener corrects Chie when she asks about it and provides her with the correct number later.
Minagoroshi.
Rika tells the clinic about how she is afraid someone is out to kill her, and so several Dogs are deployed to follow and protect her 24/7, later saving her from some delinquents. Rika also remarks how she was never able to get the Dogs on her side in previous worlds since she was never on good terms with Takano.
Satoko starts being abused by her uncle Teppei and Rika asks the Mountain Dogs to take him out, but they refuse since the police are also watching him, and the Dogs want to avoid doing anything that could potentially blow their cover.
Takano begins enacting her plan to eliminate Hinamizawa's villagers and asks Tomitake to join her, bringing several Mountain Dogs with her. Tomitake refuses and several Dogs are signaled to tackle him to the ground, with Takano soon knocking him out and injecting him with H173. She directs some members to put Tomitake into her car's trunk. Takano later fakes her death using a burnt corpse and tells the Mountain Dogs to increase security on Rika due to the fact she predicted her and Tomitake's deaths. Rika soon comes onto the Dogs and tries to skip school by faking a cold. Rika finally talks to the club and tells them of the Mountain Dogs' true origins, having realized that they are allied with Takano and are preparing to kill her. They consider reaching out to Irie but are concerned the Dogs are listening in on his phone.
The Mountain Dogs begin setting up the final phases of Takano's plan, with Nightingale sent to sabotage communications into and out of Hinamizawa. Ooishi and Kumagai see them and get suspicious, but before they can call it in they are assassinated by snipers and made to disappear. Several more Dogs break into Rika's house, where she and the club were gathered, and knock out the detectives sent from the police department to protect her only to find she's escaped. The Dogs chase after the club members but are caught off-guard by firecracker traps set up by Satoko. All of the club members except Rika are soon shot and killed, with the Dogs disposing of their bodies and cleaning up evidence that there was ever any conflict.
Matsuribayashi.
The Connecting Fragments section details the Mountain Dogs' involvement in the curse.
Takano bribes the Mountain Dogs to follow her every order and suddenly gives them a command to start observing Rika, who has informed Tomitake, Irie, Ooishi and several others about Takano's true goals. Tomitake begins an investigation into the Dogs and of Takano for a possibility they may betray Tokyo. In response to Takano's orders, a team is sent to begin sabotaging communications into and out of Hinamizawa.
Rika's death is reported by the Okinomiya police station, which confuses the Dogs as they were observing Rika's house and didn't see her enter or leave; Irie even confirmed she was alright. They also learn that the Bloodhounds were issued a standby order. The Mountain Dogs begin to realize that Irie may have betrayed them and want to break into Rika's house to confirm her location however the Watanagashi Festival has started picking up, making it difficult for them to do anything without drawing suspicion. After finding out that Tomitake has also betrayed them, some Mountain Dogs are sent to his hotel to capture him and bring him back to the clinic. Irie meanwhile is told that Tomitake has gone terminal, but he realizes better and escapes in a car, with some Mountain Dogs sent to stop him before he gets to the shrine grounds. They eventually shoot out Irie's tires and make him drive off a cliff, convinced that he's dead and head out to check.
Akasaka emerges from Rika's house and the Dogs go after him but are caught off guard by his skills. Meanwhile Irie survived the crash but the Dogs are still out to capture him, and they soon start chasing after Shion and Kasai when they rescue the doctor and follow them to the Sonozaki house.
The Mountain Dogs soon invade the Sonozaki house where some fall victim to traps set by Satoko beforehand. They break into the underground chamber where Rika and the club are hiding out and fight Shion and Kasai, soon taking them hostage. They threaten to throw Shion and Kasai into the well if Rika doesn't come with them, however Rika is unwilling to go since they might kill them and her friends anyway. Hanyuu uses mind control to make the Dogs change their mind, and Shion and Kasai are soon set free. Rika goes along with the Dogs after they receive a command from Takano and is almost knocked out with a syringe when Akasaka arrives, dispatching several Dogs by himself. The Mountain Dogs retreat, not wanting to fire their guns on the surface and draw unwanted attention.
After shutting down the village phone network, the Dogs anticipate Rika's group escaping the Sonozaki house through a secret tunnel and coming up behind a mountain, where they plan to ambush and capture them. However, many Dogs fall victim to Satoko's traps littered across the mountain and are attacked by the club members, both physically and mentally. After hearing that there was a break-in at the clinic, a group of Dogs is sent to deal with it and are stopped by Shion's group. Okonogi himself duels with Mion and ultimately fails; accepting this humiliating defeat, the Mountain Dogs surrender to the Bloodhounds and are arrested.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Nafumi Shintani
is an art teacher who loves little boys and likes to have them model for drawings. She appears in The Boys' Portrait.
Appearance.
Shintani has long, curled blonde hair, a red headband and amber eyes. She wears a light purple buttoned shirt with white sleeves, a dark purple skirt and black shoes.
Personality.
Shintani tries to present herself as an acceptable woman despite her smoking habits. She has a pedophilic obsession towards little boys and likes to draw nude drawings of them, also having a sadistic side as she defiled Yuuki Noda's body using a palette knife and cigarette burns. Shintani's art room is full of classic yet horrific paintings like 's ' and 's '.
Background.
Shintani was an aspiring artist who instead became an art teacher. Unable to repress her desires, she groomed Yuuki Noda into becoming her model and attempted to undress him one day when he suddenly rejected her. Shintani accidentally killed the boy when he ran away and she pushed him, causing a plaster bust to fall on him. Shintani tried to cover up Yuuki's death, but not before drawing his naked, abused corpse.
Story.
The Boys' Portrait.
Shintani is introduced when the teacher Imata asks her out, but she rejects him. They talk about the rumor that Yuuki was killed because of "Renoir of the Art Room", with Shintani wishing she could've prevented it. Shintani goes to the art room that evening and finds a young boy waiting for her there. She's never seen this boy before, but she becomes entranced by his prettiness. Shintani asks the boy to stay a while as they talk about art.
Shintani asks the boy to be a model for her painting. The boy is worried about other people seeing the painting, but Shintani assures him it's for her eyes only. As Shintani draws, her desire for the boy grows. The boy asks why that accident had to happen to Yuuki, and Shintani says she doesn't really know. The boy then asks what she thinks about the rumor of Renoir of the Art Room, and Shintani remembers that one of Renoir's rules is that you can't lie when he asks a question. She answers that she thinks the rumor of Renoir killing Yuuki is false.
Shintani's lust grows even more. Unable to control herself, she knocks the boy unconscious by giving him tea laced with a sedative. Shintani ogles the boy sleeping on the art room sofa and moves to undress him when Renoir suddenly appears and asks what she's doing. Shintani thinks Renoir is a human student and claims the boy is just sick and resting. Renoir looks at Shintani's sketchbook and asks to be a model in the boy's place. Shintani begrudgingly agrees.
Renoir asks Shintani what she thinks of the rumor that Yuuki was killed by Renoir of the Art Room. Shintani repeats that it's nonsense, and Renoir mentions that Yuuki's corpse looked like he was abused, with signs of a knife being pressed to his skin and cigarette burn marks on him. Shintani discreetly hides said knife, which is lying on a nearby desk, but Renoir notices she has a lighter in her pocket. Shintani says nothing and breaks her pencil in anger. Renoir offers a replacement pencil to her but Shintani refuses, confused since Renoir couldn't have brought that pencil with him.
Renoir mentions that the police saw that Yuuki's clothes buttons were mixed up, implying he was naked when he died. Shintani becomes shocked since Renoir, who she thinks is just a human girl, shouldn't know anything about what happened in the art room. Renoir finally asks if she does nude drawings, and the teacher understands his true identity.
Shintani admits she does, saying it's good practice for drawing the human body. Renoir asks if she's ever drawn one in this room, but Shintani stays silent. Renoir reveals himself as a youkai, and Shintani mocks him since she's followed all of Renoir's rules up to this point. Renoir says he can still claim Shintani if she fails to name all of the paintings and their artists in the room, and Shintani accepts the challenge.
Shintani successfully names the artists of every painting Renoir points towards, noticing that he's getting less confident the more she answers. Renoir goes back to the earlier question of if Shintani ever did nude drawings in this room, but Shintani still doesn't answer and claims it doesn't matter. Renoir then asks where she was when Yuuki died. Shintani is forced to recall the memory of accidentally killing Yuuki, and Renoir summons copies of Shintani's many immoral drawings of Yuuki and rhetorically asks who drew them. Shintani admits that she drew them all, and Renoir shatters into pieces.
Higanbana appears in place of Renoir, having disguised as him the entire time, and is surprised that Shintani answered so honestly. Shintani declares that she is the queen bee of the art room and that Yuuki was simply one of her drones. The boy from earlier then wakes up and asks if she really isn't going to apologize to Yuuki. Shintani realizes that the boy is the real Renoir, recognizing him as the spitting image of the subject of the "Child With a Whip" painting. Renoir judges Shintani for taking advantage of Yuuki's affection for her and disgracing him with her lustful drawings. Shintani insists that Yuuki's death was just an accident and she didn't mean for it to happen.
Shintani believes she's won since she now knows Renoir's identity and has already proven her knowledge of every painting in the room, but Renoir says it's the other way around. During the modeling session, he asked Shintani why the accident happened to Yuuki, and she replied she didn't know; she accidentally lied. Shintani realizes she's done for and worries over what horrible painting she'll be trapped inside and runs away. She ends up running into "" by , being made to run its non-Euclidean stairways for eternity.
Even with Shintani's apparent disappearance, nobody notices the extra woman that now exists inside the Escher painting.
After School.
In this dream world, Shintani and Kanamori plan to out-perv each other.

is Rena Ryuugu's friend who becomes involved in a murder case. She first appears in "Tokihogushi".
Profile.
"A girl who lives in a town near Kakiuchi."
"She used to live in Ibaraki, but transferred to a new school because of an incident."
"She is quiet and shy."
"She used to be very cheerful, but..."
Appearance.
Nagisa has long blue hair with pink bows in it. She wears a white blouse with a pink jacket and a plaid skirt.
Personality.
Nagisa is very shy, but she's kind and loves gardening. After the incident with Rena she develops anger towards her and struggles to reconcile her feelings of her. Over time, Nagisa decides to believe in Rena and learn the full details of everything.
Background.
Nagisa was friends with Rena ever since elementary school, and Rena even helped her get together with her boyfriend Kouhei Sawamura. After an incident in Ibaraki in 1982 where Rena assaults several students, including Kouhei, Nagisa cuts off all ties with her.
When Kouhei is found murdered one day, Nagisa becomes involved in the case surrounding it.
Relationships.
Rena Ryuugu.
Nagisa and Rena were childhood friends, and they took a lot of pictures together. After the Ibaraki incident, Nagisa started to hate Rena and got rid of all of the pictures of her she had, however she couldn't bring herself to burn this one last picture of them together. After conversing with Tomoe, Nagisa attempts to contact Rena and reconcile their friendship.
Tomoe Minai.
Tomoe is the investigator for Kouhei's murder, and she and Nagisa are already acquainted since Tomoe also handled the Ibaraki incident. Tomoe helps Nagisa to understand that Rena has her own problems and encourages her to repair their friendship. After Nagisa's death, Tomoe heavily blames herself for getting too close to her and getting her involved. Initially enraged to the point she breaks protocol and hits fellow officers for not taking Nagisa's murder seriously, Tomoe resolves to catch the culprit.
Role in the Story.
Tokihogushi.
Nagisa is introduced heading to the hospital for her weekly visit to Kouhei, bringing a bouquet of flowers since he was to be discharged next week. As Nagisa and the nurse Hiranuma head up to his room, Nagisa questions her about how Kouhei mentioned Oyashiro-sama during a previous visit and worries that Rena was involved. When they reach Kouhei's room, they find it mysteriously locked, soon discovering that Kouhei jumped out of his 8th floor room and seemingly killed himself; a horrified Nagisa is the first to see his battered corpse.
Later, Nagisa heads to Kouhei's grave and meets Tomoe, who is investigating his death. While most people believe Kouhei to have committed suicide, Nagisa is sure that he was murdered, thinking that this was "Oyashiro-sama's curse"; Kouhei was so happy and ready to leave the hospital before his death, so him committing suicide makes no sense. Tomoe assures her that she also believes it was murder, and she promises Nagisa that she'll find the killer.
The TIP "At the Flower Bed" has Nagisa wanting to give a flower to Tomoe once it blooms. She also mentions that she called the Kakiuchi police department to ask when to meet her and a detective told her she was too busy to see her; Nagisa struggles to remember what that detective's name was.
Nagisa and Tomoe meet up for lunch and talk, and Nagisa asks where Rena lives so she can talk to her. Tomoe asks what she'll do after she knows and lectures her about hatred, saying she should wait before contacting Rena if she feels hate for her. Nagisa accepts that she may hate Rena but still wants to talk to her anyway and clear things up between them before Nagisa's feelings for her get any more negative. Tomoe makes her promise that the only thing she'll do is talk to her, and then tells her about Rena's hometown of Hinamizawa. Nagisa then explains how she burned all of her pictures of Rena save for one, realizing that she couldn't just forget all of her bad memories of her.
A few days later, Nagisa is found dead at Oumaki station. On the day she was to head on the train to visit Rena, Nagisa was hit by a truck and killed; she was lying in a blindspot in the road and couldn't be seen easily. Investigation revealed that Nagisa's body had an injection mark in her arm and showed signs of moving around before falling unconscious in the middle of the road. Tomoe begins to think she was murdered.
Tomoe finally receives a belated letter from Nagisa, who says she managed to talk with Rena after the latter called and arrange a meeting with her. Nagisa hoped to make amends and give Tomoe flowers when they bloomed later.
Connecting Fragments.
"Receipt and Ticket" shows what transpired before Nagisa's murder. While waiting at the station she saw a ticket fall out of someone's pocket and returned it to them. The person then identifies her as Nagisa Ozaki and says he's a subordinate of Tomoe's and was the same person who answered her phone call earlier. The detective asks Nagisa to come with him so Tomoe can tell her something, and she agrees and goes off with him.
Miotsukushi Ura.
A year after Nagisa's murder, the investigation continues but most people connected with her have stopped revealing information or claim they don't know anything. A new forensics report comes in that reveals both of her shoulders were dislocated, however one shoulder had unnatural bruising. Not only that, one of the belongings on her body was a bag of flower seeds.
After Tomoe and Tsukada are attacked by Hanada and set to drown inside a locked car, Nagisa's ghost calls out to Tomoe and tells her about the rear door being unlocked, allowing the two of them to escape.
Hanada is confronted at the very end and accidentally reveals he saw the moment Nagisa died. After being arrested and shown that Nagisa's flower seeds were found inside of his car, Hanada confesses that he kidnapped Nagisa a year ago at Oumaki station, having injected her with something to knock her out. Nagisa regained consciousness while in the backseat of Hanada's car and attempted to escape while it was still moving, and Hanada didn't try to stop her since she was still delirious and because the door's child lock was active. However, the lock was faulty, and so Nagisa eventually opened the rear door, fell out onto the road and died from being hit by a truck. Tomoe realizes that Nagisa's ghost really did appear to her back then, as the car they were trapped in was the same car Hanada drove that day, and while he repaired the car he failed to notice the faulty lock. Tomoe also realizes that Nagisa saved her life earlier again by pushing her out of her car when she drove into Hanada's airplane.
Tomoe heads to Nagisa's grave and meets Rena there, and they both see Nagisa's ghost, who tells Rena that she really is a true friend before disappearing. Knowing that she would've done the same, Tomoe gives Rena Nagisa's pouch of flower seeds. Rena sees that they're Nagisa's favorite kind: Japanese bell flower seeds, representing everlasting love.

is a character appearing exclusively in "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mei".
Profile.
"A girl from Tokyo. It seems she visited Hinamizawa for a certain purpose, but her real intentions are unknown. Has absolute confidence in her good sense and intuition, and never breaks from her bullheaded attitude."
Appearance.
Nao has medium length orange hair with a blue bow. She wears a black dress, white stockings and black Mary Jane shoes.
Personality.
Nao is self-confident, having a strong and optimistic personality.
Background.
Nao is a mysterious girl who just like Kazuho and Miyuki time-traveled from 1998 to Hinamizawa of 1983 and can fight tsukuyami. Chapter 8 reveals that she is Rena's half-sister. After Rena's parents divorced, Rena's mother married a man named Akihito Houtani and had Nao with him shortly after the Great Hinamizawa Disaster.
Nao's parents divorced while she was in elementary school. She had dreams of becoming a designer like her mother and went to a private school. At some point she learned that she had a half-sister named Rena, who died in the disaster. Her grandmother always mistakenly called Nao "Reina". During a recession, Ms. Houtani's company went bankrupt, and Nao became unable to continue attending school since she couldn't pay her tuition. Nao asked Akihito for help, but he refused, which Nao thought was because he was seeing another woman.
One day, Nao's mother came home and destroyed her sketches, telling her to do something more productive. She also said they were going to move and attend public school, but Nao ran away from home. She contemplated suicide, believing that her existence caused so much unhappiness in people. Nao visited the locked-down Hinamizawa, believing that her spirit would linger there when she dies so she can meet Rena and atone for her sins, and ended up time-traveling to 1983 Hinamizawa.
Story.

In Chapter 4, Nao and company head to a toy store in Okinomiya and meet Keiichi, who in this world is a mean bully.

Nao later discovers a notebook in Kazuho's house with Keiichi's name written on it, and they realize he was the boy they met earlier.
In Chapter 7, Nao and company are caught amidst chaos when villagers start attacking and killing each other.

When the group heads back, it doesn't go well; Kazuho is still in 1983 while Miyuki and Nao have returned to a 1998 Hinamizawa that has been submerged underwater.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Nashikuzushi (MIDI Harafuji)
is a short story written by MIDI Harafuji that was published in Famitsu Characters DVD Volume 2.
Plot Summary.
The narrator, a cicada, observes Rena and Keiichi as they walk to school. The cicada had only been in Hinamizawa for a few days, but they understood that Rena and Keiichi have a good friendship. The cicada seemed particularly jealous at the way Rena looked at Keiichi sometimes, which was different from how she looked at Rika, Mion, and Satoko.
After the Watanagashi Festival, Rena started acting weird: mumbling to herself, looking afraid all the time, and calling out to seemingly nothing and yelling that she knows someone's hiding. The cicada saw that Keiichi and Rena's friendship changed because of it.
One day, the cicada hears Rena apologizing to Keiichi and wonders why. They then notice Rena carrying a cleaver, and starts to think they need to warn Keiichi. They note how not just Rena, but the entire village had started acting weird ever since the cameraman Tomitake was murdered the night of the festival.
Before the cicada can do anything, Rena notices them and attacks them with her cleaver. Rena wonders why this cicada sounds different than the others and if they know about "that". Rena laughs madly and says the cicada can't go to Keiichi, for she'll already be doing that. As the cicada dies, they voice their love for Rena and ask whoever finds their body to learn why Rena changed.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Natsu no Kagerou
was a planned video game collaboration between Ryukishi07 and Twilight Frontier. A demo was released, but a complete version never came out.
Synopsis.
"The end of summer vacation."
"The protagonist Kousuke has returned to his hometown of Miwata Village for the first time in three years."
"The sky is a clear blue. The clouds are boiling. The sounds of the locusts are noisy."
"In the unchanged scenery of the village, Kousuke is reunited with the girls he's known since childhood."
"Set in a mountain village in the middle of summer, what will Kousuke find in his interactions with the girls he grew up with?"
Development History.
The game was first announced on Twilight Frontier's official website on April 1, 2010. Ryukishi and Twilight Frontier had previously collaborated on the 3D fighting game Higurashi Daybreak. According to Ryukishi's production diary post on April 2, 2010, he was first told about "Natsu no Kagerou" after the completion of "Daybreak" and started working on it. He was asked to make a horror game similar to "".
The scenario for the game was written by G. O. of the doujin company Blank Note, known for creating Himawari. According to his own production diary post on April 3, 2010, G. O. was given the project by Ryukishi.
A demo of the game was released, but for unknown reasons a complete version never came out. The game is still listed on Twilight Frontier's list of products, but with an unknown product number.
Ryukishi's later manga "Hotarubi no Tomoru Koro ni" is considered a revival of "Natsu no Kagerou".
Gameplay.
"Natsu no Kagerou" is advertised as an adventure horror open-world game. The player takes control of Kousuke and can travel around Miwata Village and play with his friends or do other things, spanning the course of four days.
In the demo this was limited to the first day, the player going through several cutscenes and minigames with limited areas to go to as Kousuke plays games with the three girls. The player will only be able to explore the village after gaining control of Kousuke at night and escaping the house. Dying at this stage will send Kousuke back to the checkpoint of fighting his reanimated aunt, making exploration of the dangerous village possibly tedious. Kousuke can only go to the school where Sae is; if the player goes to where either Youko or Wakana are said to be on the map, they'll simply find a locked door.
When the player has control of Kousuke, up to 4 weapons (each having its own durability) can be picked up and swapped between, along with a punch attack and, with a running start, an effective if difficult to aim jumping kick. Kousuke could also sprint but this could force him to stop and catch his breath, and seemed to play a part in the game's unseen health (damage) system.
Combat was quite rough, with attacks sometimes not connecting and stun locks being quite common and often the only way feasible way Kousuke could win fights. Some mouryou, depending on their weapons, are capable of killing Kousuke in one attack or stun lock him to death. As mouryou would reanimate within 20 seconds (outside of the house at the start), coupled with the difficulty of acquiring a decent weapon, combat is best avoided.
Plot Summary.
Kousuke returns to his hometown of Miwata Village, greeting the three heroines and playing some interactive minigames with them before having dinner with his relatives. During dinner it is mentioned that Miwata has a tradition of a "mouryou chase" where villagers are chased by "mouryou" but tell him not to worry about it.
Kousuke wakes up after hearing loud sounds at night, and discovers his two adult relatives covered in blood and sporting maniacal smiles. They proceed to attack him, and he is forced to either defend himself or flee. After escaping the house he discovers that the village has been plunged into fog with the now-undead inhabitants of the village wandering about, killing any of the living they find.
Kousuke can only go to the school to advance the story, upon which he finds Sae and some of the surviving villagers taking shelter. While talking with Sae in a classroom a shotgun blast is heard, the two of them discovering that the survivor who greeted them has been killed and reanimated along with the rest of the survivors present. Waiting for the shotgun-wielding now-mouryou to make one of his periodic announcements taunting the pair over the school P.A. and stealing his set of keys, Kousuke and Sae escape the school. Sae mentions a ritual and a well at a nearby graveyard, suggesting they go there; Kousuke obliges. At the graveyard is a gate leading underground; the pair enter and the demo ends.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Natsuhi
| Natsuhi |
fandom.07th-expansion | # Natsuhi Ushiromiya
is Krauss Ushiromiya's wife and manages the Ushiromiya family household and servants.
Profile.
"Krauss's wife."
"She manages the household of the Ushiromiya family in place of her husband, who takes little interest in such matters. She was in charge of all preparations and arrangements for this family conference."
"She possesses a strong sense of responsibility, and a great deal of pride."<br>"However, neither her husband nor her siblings understand her very well, so his position is far from enviable."
Appearance.
Natsuhi is a tall, middle-aged woman with fair skin, dark eyes, and dark brown hair, which she keeps tied up in a side ponytail. Her hair is also slightly tinted with a reddish color. She is considered relatively attractive by both her nephew Battler and brother-in-law Rudolf, with the latter noting how her daughter Jessica inherited Natsuhi's features.
Natsuhi's clothes consist of a purple plum-vintage dress, green earrings, a green medallion on a light purple necktie, and high-heeled purple shoes. Like most of the Ushiromiya women, Natsuhi has an imposing figure, being both very slender and rather voluptuous.
Personality.
Natsuhi is a very strict and serious woman who has been described as "stiff" by multiple characters. However, she hides a surprisingly short temper and tends to shout quite a bit. She is also very loyal and responsible, and tends to bottle up her feelings and write them down in her diaries so that she will forget about them rather than express herself.
Her strictness seem to have stemmed from grown up in a strict family as shown in "Dawn of the Golden Witch" manga where she had to wake up in the middle of the night to greet her father who had just returned home and her parents telling her to be a good wife before she gets married. She regrets not being able to build a good relationship with her daughter but does not know how. In contrast to Rosa's hot tempered treatment to her child's bad behavior, she is cold when Jessica does something she is not pleased with.
Her biggest weakness is her pride; she will do anything to protect the family's honor and is even willing to sacrifice herself for the family head's honor. Because of her pride, as seen in "Requiem of the Golden Witch", she is unable to accept Yasu as it makes her feel shameful of being unable to conceive a child for many years. This is one reason why the possibility of her accepting the baby very low and thus making it a miracle. However, when she accepts the baby, she will give the baby as much love as her biological daughter so much that the baby never realized that she was not their real mother until someone tells them.
Natsuhi appears to be rather unfortunate, as she is disrespected by most of her family, frequently suffers from headaches, and is very often criticized by her sister-in-law, bordering on verbal abuse. However, if put under constant pressure in certain situations, she is more than capable of not letting herself be subdued psychologically and even takes the lead quickly.
Abilities.
Natsuhi owns a spirit mirror which can provide deterrence to evil spirits and witches. Natsuhi is also said to have skills in wielding a naginata, however this is never shown.
Background.
Natsuhi is descended from a line of Shinto priests, who arranged for her to marry into the Ushiromiya family. Natsuhi was initially unhappy with this turn of events but came to truly love Krauss.
After their marriage, Natsuhi was burdened with the pressure of providing a child to become the next family head. In "End of the Golden Witch", it's revealed that Kinzo gave Natsuhi a baby for her to raise because of her failure to get pregnant. Natsuhi felt disgraced by this and, while out on a walk with the baby and a servant, pushed them off of a cliff and killed them both. Natsuhi kept this a secret and left Genji and Kinzo to discover the deaths for themselves and cover them up. Natsuhi was later able to give birth to Jessica. "End" additionally reveals that after Kinzo's death in 1984, Natsuhi, Krauss, Nanjo, and several servants conspired to keep his death a secret.
"Requiem of the Golden Witch" reveals that the child Natsuhi believed she killed, Yasuda, actually survived the incident but suffered damage to their genitals, and was taken to live in the Fukuin House by Genji.
Relationships.
Overview.
Ushiromiya Family
Other
Kanon.
Kanon thinks that Natsuhi views him as an enemy after a rumor spread that she isn't as strict towards male servants. Kanon mainly pities her because to him, she seems deeply pained. This comes from him seeing her crying alone.
Role in the Story.
Legend of the Golden Witch.
The First Day
Natsuhi Ushiromiya is introduced in this arc as Krauss Ushiromiya's wife. She is shown to be a rather prideful woman with a short temper, keen on being the perfect host for the extended family who are visiting the annual family conference. She is also said to have a tendency for stress-induced headaches. Evahumiliates Natsuhi as a "borrowed womb for bearing a successor" and states she has no right to speak about financial matters. This distresses Natsuhi who leaves the room in tears as the conflict between Eva and Natsuhi is introduced by Kumasawa. After the witch's letter arrives, a disbelieving Natsuhi is shown a golden ingot by Krauss in secrecy in order to convince her the legend of Kinzo's gold was indeed the truth. Natsuhi is dismayed by how her husband hadn't told her this earlier and as she retires to her room for the night, she receives a scorpion charm from her daughter Jessica (given to her by Maria), which Natsuhi binds to her room's doorknob before she goes to bed.
The Second Day
After waking up, Natsuhi discovers her room's door covered in bloody handprints with the charm intact. She dismisses it as a prank, but is later shocked and pained when she is summoned to the site of the first set of murders and tries to keep the children away from there. After they realize Kinzo is also missing from his study, Natsuhi brings a rifle with her from his collection in order to use as self defense. Eva suspects Natsuhi for Kinzo's disappearance but Battler defends her.
After Eva, Hideyoshi, Kinzo and Kanon's corpses were discovered, the remaining survivors barricade themselves in Kinzo's study. A suddenly appearing letter from Beatrice has Natsuhi suspecting the servants and Maria, who are then expelled from the study. After the three servants were found dead in the parlor, Natsuhi is seen leaving, reading a letter of challenge issued to her from Beatrice. As the two engage in a duel, the children are desperately search for her. A gunshot is heard and the children follow the sound, only to find Natsuhi dead and crumpled on the floor.
"Found shot to death in front of the witch's portrait."
"How impudent of her to challenge a witch with nothing but a mere gun. Of course she'd end up like this."
"Kihihihihihihihihihi."
Turn of the Golden Witch.
In this chapter, the unexpected arrival of the guest Beatrice has the siblings hounding Natsuhi and her husband, only to discover they hadn't invited her. That night, she gathers along with the other family members in the chapel and they all acknowledge Beatrice's existence. The next morning, she and the other siblings are discovered in the chapel as sacrifices for the first twilight, unconscious with their stomachs ripped open and stuffed with candy.
Having died early on in the story, Natsuhi doesn't play a significant role in this chapter. However, George, Gohda and Shannon revisit her corpse in the chapel to obtain the key to her room and use her spirit mirror in order to defend themselves against the witch.
"Her corpse was found inside the chapel. The direct cause of death is unknown, but it seems her stomach was cut open and her intestines pulled out after her death. On top of that, sweets and candies were packed into her stomach. "
"Didn't I tell you? Stomachs are packed full of candy."
Banquet of the Golden Witch.
Natsuhi plays a very minor role in this chapter. She tries to be involved as the other family members solve the epitaph, but she is unable to be of any help and only stands around listening and remarking in confusion. She and Krauss are eventually killed by the Chiester Sisters on the order of EVA-Beatrice, soon after Eva Ushiromiya leaves the room to wash her face and make some coffee. Their corpses are later discovered in the arbor by the rose garden.
"Her corpse was found in the rose garden arbor. The cause of her death is assumed to be strangling with a rope-like object. A stake-shaped weapon was sticking out of her calf. "
"Why do I even have to follow the epitaph in the first place? Is this some kind of game? "
Alliance of the Golden Witch.
Natsuhi again doesn't play any significant role in this chapter. After the siblings confront her and Krauss on whether Kinzo was dead or alive, they are all confronted by Kinzo himself in the dining hall, where he summons Ronove, Gaap and the Chiester Sisters, announcing his ceremony to revive Beatrice. Natsuhi is killed as one of the very first sacrifices for the first twilight and is only mentioned afterwards as Battler is surveying her corpse in the aftermath.
"Her corpse was found in the dining hall. About half of her head was destroyed. It's probably reasonable to assume that she was murdered with a powerful gun or something similar. "
"However, the witnesses don't believe that she was killed with a gun... "
End of the Golden Witch.
Natsuhi has much of the focus in this episode, detailing her marriage with Krauss and their attempts at hiding Kinzo's death. At some point, Natsuhi becomes haunted with calls by The Man From 19 Years Ago, who claims to be Natsuhi's child and that his life was ruined by her. He blackmails her into doing several things or else he'll reveal her "sin"; the first order is to stay in her room all night until he calls again. Natsuhi reluctantly agrees, thinking about her past and recalling a sea breeze.
The next morning, Natsuhi wakes up to discover that her husband Krauss is missing and her daughter Jessica had been killed, along with several other people. The Man calls back and says that he's kidnapped Krauss, who can be heard in the background. After some more threats, Natsuhi is told to go into an empty guest room and hide in the closet.
She does so, and then sees Hideyoshi come in and start crying, lamenting the death of his son George. Hideyoshi is then attacked and killed by an unknown assailant, and the rest of the family comes in to investigate. They cover up his corpse and carry it off, and Natsuhi comes out of hiding when they leave.
At some point during the calls, The Man directs Natsuhi to pick up an item with her favorite season written on it, which turns out to be autumn; Natsuhi remembers that she's never told anybody about her favorite season except Shannon.
The detectve Erika Furudo had been investigating these murders throughout, and accuses Natsuhi of being the culprit; Natsuhi didn't want to tell them about The Man, and so she cannot come up with an alibi to explain her disappearances. Eva begins physically and verbally assaulting her, sad and angry over the death of her husband and son; Natsuhi finally breaks down and reveals her sin.
The Sin
19 years ago, she and Krauss were trying to have a child together, but Natsuhi just couldn't get pregnant. Kinzo decides to give her a baby to adopt since she can't bear one herself. While going on a walk with the baby and a servant, Natsuhi considers her circumstances and becomes angry, thinking that Kinzo doesn't think very highly of her; she gives the baby to the servant and then pushes them off a cliff, killing them both. She kept this a secret from everybody, and eventually got pregnant with Jessica.
The Witch's Court
In the meta-world, a court session is called to determine if Natsuhi is the culprit; in this case, all reds presented by non-witches must have evidence to back them up. Erika has been collecting evidence against Natsuhi, having them confirmed in red. Battler tries his best to disprove her theories, and eventually becomes impaled with the Red Truth. However, in the ????, Battler dscovers new evidence that leads to Natsuhi's innocence.
Dawn of the Golden Witch.
Natsuhi doesn't play any significant role in this chapter as she is chosen as one of the sacrifices for the first twilight, targeted by Chick Beato for the love trial. Beato initially struggles against her when Natsuhi pulls out her spirit mirror, but Battler saves her.
Her body is then discovered in her room. Erika tries to examine her corpse but only gets vague information.
"Her corpse was found in her room."
"Furudo Erika didn't perform a proper investigation, so the details of the cause of death are unknown."
In reality, she was only playing dead as a part of a big prank, but Erika decapitated her.
"Her corpse was found in her room."
"Her neck was completely severed by a blade. The most perfect kind of corpse, both impossible to mistakenly identify as dead and completely recognizable."
Natsuhi later appears in the tea party at Battler and Beatrice's wedding where she begrudgingly accepts Jessica and Kanon's union.
Requiem of the Golden Witch.
In the Tea Party, the adults solve the epitaph and are given the ten tons of gold and a cash card worth 1 billion yen, beginning to argue over it. Krauss tells his siblings that the only way to exchange the money is through him; Natsuhi agrees to this but starts to become desperate as the argument continues. The argument becomes very heated and Eva tries to convince everyone that they already have enough money on the cash card. Natsuhi becomes frantic and runs at Eva who accidentally shoots her in the head, kick-starting the Rokkenjima Massacre.
Twilight of the Golden Witch.
Natsuhi dies on the 2nd Twilight of Bernkastel's game.

| Natsumi Kei |
fandom.07th-expansion | # Natsumi Kimiyoshi
is one of the main protagonists of the manga-exclusive arc "Onisarashi-hen" and the Advanced Story. She is a former resident of Hinamizawa and related to the Three Families.
Profile.
"A girl related to the Kimiyoshi family, one of the famous Hinamizawa families. She used to live in Okinomiya, but moved to the city for her father's sake. She lives with her grandma and her parents, and is a very cheerful girl. Natsumi has finally gotten used to living in the city, but sometimes she feels stressed. She's currently working part-time as a caregiver through Chisato's recommendation."
Appearance.
Natsumi has long green hair that she often ties into small pigtails. Sometimes she lets her hair down to their natural length. Natsumi is frequently seen wearing a beige and orange school uniform. Her casual wear consists of a pink shirt and black skirt.
Personality.
Natsumi is usually very easygoing. She tries to handle everything by herself, even if things get difficult. Natsumi often gets stressed because of her family, especially whenever her mother Haruko scolds and nags her. The console version shows that many of Natsumi's negative thoughts were pushed onto her other self, who often tries to convince the original Natsumi into killing her friends and family, and when given the chance attempts to do it herself.
Natsumi has an inferiority complex. She is conscious about how her friends see her and worries about her Hinamizawa heritage becoming known once incidents surrounding Hinamizawans begin to occur.
Background.
The Advanced Story greatly expands on Natsumi's character compared to the manga. Natsumi was born and raised in Okinomiya. She had a level of fame because of her connection to the Kimiyoshi family, one of the Three Families that ruled Hinamizawa. An introverted girl, Natsumi was bullied as a child because of her long-hair and gained the nickname of , a type of Japanese ghost. One day, a girl tried to cut Natsumi's hair because she read that the Zashiki-warashi's hair would bring good luck. Natsumi pushed her away and wound up hurting the girl when she cut herself with her scissors. Though Natsumi wasn't blamed for the accident, she was still afraid of going to school and withdrew into herself even more. She was eventually diagnosed with anemia and began taking medication.
Natsumi's condition and mood improved, and her family later moved to Kakiuchi City. With the help of her new friend Chisato, Natsumi secretly took a part-time job at Saeki General Hospital as a caregiver and nurse assistant, wanting to someday become a nurse herself.
"Miotsukushi-hen Ura" reveals that the medicine Natsumi uses is Placil, a dangerous drug banned in Japan that increases a person's mental processing state, but is very addictive. Because of Natsumi's constant, unwitting usage, she developed a dark split personality that attempts to take control once Natsumi stops taking Placil.
Relationships.
Chisato Saeki.
Chisato approached Natsumi on her first day in Kakiuchi and immediately became the first of her new friends. Chisato often teases Natsumi and frequently hugs and compliments her, almost as if she has a crush on her. Due to Natsumi and Chisato both liking Akira, there's a love triangle between them.
Tomoe Minai.
Tomoe and Natsumi rarely interact at first, though Tomoe feels that she and Natsumi come from similar backgrounds and tries to help her as much as she can. Starting in "Tokihogushi-hen", Tomoe and Natsuhi become good friends. Tomoe starts tutoring Natsumi in her studies and becomes seen as a big sister.
Role in the Story.
Manga.
Onisarashi-hen.
Natsumi is first seen getting ready for school. Her grandma Aki asks her to pray to Oyashiro-sama at their altar before leaving however Natsumi ignores her. At school, Akira confesses to Natsumi that he likes her and wants to hear her answer later. Natsumi is elated at his confession but when she returns home, she sees on TV that the Great Hinamizawa Disaster has happened, and many of her relatives who were living in Hinamizawa and Okinomiya are dead. Aki tries to coerce Natsumi into praying to Oyashiro-sama again and becomes increasingly deranged.
The next day, Natsumi is locked out of her house when her parents go out and she forgets her keys. She's soon approached by Ooishi and Akasaka, who ask about her knowledge of Hinamizawa and Oyashiro-sama. With many families from Hinamizawa becoming involved in ritualistic murders, Natsumi says her family will be alright but Ooishi gets incredibly personal and interrogative. Akira shows up to break up their conversation and pulls Natsumi away from them. She gets escorted home by Akira only to see her house covered in strange talismans, markings and paper effigies with her family's names written on them. Akira doesn't comment on the bizarre scene and leaves, making Natsumi worry that he'll see her as a weirdo.
Natsumi enters her house and discovers that Aki was the perpetrator, believing it was necessary to avoid Oyashiro-sama's curse. Aki has also been drowning puppies in a bathtub as part of her ritual, and Natsumi hurriedly calls her parents to tell them of what's going on. Her parents tell her that all of their elderly relatives are going crazy when Aki suddenly appears from behind Natsumi and tells her not to worry.
The rest of the family try to brush off Aki's bizarre behavior, and Natsumi tells Akira the next day that her grandma is just crazy and lies that she is not from Hinamizawa. Akira accepts her explanation and later covers for her when other students are saying a Hinamizawan is attending their school. Natsumi excuses herself after this and starts distancing from Akira despite his good intentions.
When Natsumi goes home again she sees her mom Haruko stabbing Aki to death. Afterwords, Haruko coerces Natsumi and her dad Touji into chopping up Aki's body and hiding it. Natsumi is visibly disturbed from having to perform such an atrocity, and her friends notice that something's wrong with her the next day at gym class. They try to cheer her up by bringing Natsumi and Akira to a store but on the way they see a news report that a dismembered corpse (Aki's) has been found; Natsumi tells the group she left her keys at home and runs away.
Akira follows Natsumi home and asks her what's going on when Ooishi comes by to ask more questions. Natsumi ignores both of them and enters her house, where she witnesses Haruko beating up Touji for botching the corpse disposal. As Haruko goes off by herself to rant, Touji suggests to Natsumi that they go to the police. Suddenly, Touji gets stabbed in the throat by Haruko, who then turns her attention to Natsumi and chases her throughout the house. Natsumi manages to call Akira over the phone for help, but when he arrives he gets knocked out from behind by Haruko. Natsumi struggles with her mom over a knife and soon kills her with it. Natsumi and Akira are rescued by the police, and Natsumi is sent to the hospital for a while.
Three days later, Chisato and Tamako show up at the hospital to cheer up Natsumi with cake and eat with her on the roof. Akira later talks with Natsumi alone and reveals that he's learned the truth from Akasaka and Ooishi: Natsumi really killed her family. Shortly after Natsumi saw Aki drowning puppies, she pushed and accidentally killed her when she fell onto a table corner. Natsumi's parents didn't know what to do, and so Natsumi suggested cutting her up and hiding her body. She then assaulted her dad when the corpse was discovered and later killed him. Haruko was the person screaming for help when Akira called the house, and Natsumi was the one to knock him out.
Natsumi freaks out and says she never wanted things to happen like this, but is interrupted when Akira hugs her. Natsumi suddenly stabs him and is soon restrained by security guards called by Akasaka and Ooishi. Akira is still conscious and smiles at Natsumi anyways, and Akasaka asks the guard to let her go. Natsumi gives Akira one last hug.
after.
Several years later, Akira has married Natsumi after freeing her from imprisonment. Natsumi had gone into the care of distant relatives of the Kimiyoshis and was locked in a room for years as she made talismans and ranted on about Oyashiro-sama's curse. Natsumi still felt guilt over killing her family, and Akira tried to convince her that "he "was the one to do it, however Natsumi knew he was just trying to ease her pain. Natsumi wants to make up for what she did but is aware that "the demon" will definitely kill Akira if it ever comes out again.
Natsumi is discharged from the mental hospital and goes on to live life with her husband happily.
Console.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri.
Natsumi is introduced in the common route. She goes to Seventh Mart and is introduced by Mion to Keiichi.
In "Miotsukushi-hen", Natsumi attends the Watanagashi Festival with her family and joins the club in their games. She takes Satoko's place for the Six-Demon Fire Fight.
Someutsushi-hen.
As Natsumi prepares to go to school, she reminisces on the day she first met Chisato and Tamako. Natsumi is almost late leaving the house but her grandmother Aki asks her to pray at the Oyashiro-sama shrine first. After school, Chisato gives Natsumi a ride to Saeki General Hospital for her job. When they arrive, Chisato reminds Natsumi that career interviews are coming up soon. and they'll have to pick out classes for next year. Seeing Natsumi's nervousness, Chisato arranges a strategy meeting with her and Tamako for the next day.
Natsumi gets dressed for work and tends to some of the old people in the hospital, giving them snacks and drinks. She sees one old man, Kazuma Hatakeyama, praying to Oyashiro-sama, and asks if he's also from Hinamizawa. Seeing that Natsumi is a member of the Kimiyoshi family, Hatakeyama opens up and they start to become friends. After work, Natsumi runs into Akira and becomes fearful of him learning she has a part-time job and reporting it as a violation of school rules.
After her strategy meeting with Chisato and Tamako, Natsumi begins her career interview with the teacher Ogata. Natsumi says she wants to go to a certain university, but Ogata says her grades currently aren't good enough for her to get accepted into it. The teacher recommends some other schools and mentions Rikuo University, the one Akira plans to go to. Natsumi despairs over the thought that she and Akira will go their separate ways in the future and wonders why she was ever born in Hinamizawa. After the interview, Chisato and Tamako console her when she comes out looking sad. Tamako promises that Natsumi can talk to her about anything.
The three girls plan to visit the city and cheer up, but before then Natsumi hangs out by herself in a classroom as the others do errands. Akira then enters the room and mumbles something. Natsumi considers confessing to him about how she feels, but she's too afraid to do it. Akira tries to say something but Natsumi interrupts him, saying she's going shopping with friends later. She also confesses that she has a part-time job so she can make money for an anniversary gift for her parents and pleads Akira not to tell the school yet. Akira is confused. Natsumi tries to leave and Akira grabs her hand, soon confessing that he likes her. Akira's loved Natsumi ever since she transferred and wants to hear her answer later when she's ready.
Akira leaves. Natsumi is elated that he likes her back, but then Chisato enters the room immediately after. Chisato seems angry as she asks who Natsumi was just talking to. Natsumi apologizes for hiding her crush from her, and then Chisato laughs and hugs her. She wonders why Natsumi never told her earlier and could've given her some advice since she's known Akira for a long time.
Natsumi and Chisato go to town and meet Tamako, who learns of Natsumi's crush. Natsumi lies about the reason she was late and recalls Chisato's strange behavior earlier, wondering if she liked Akira too and was just jealous. She wonders if Tamako may also feel the same way and fears that their friendship could end. The two girls notice Natsumi's sadness and tell her to cheer up. As they eat ice cream in a parlor, the girls ask Natsumi to remind them where she was from again. Before she can answer, Natsumi notices a live TV report that the Great Hinamizawa Disaster has occurred, and countless people have been killed overnight by gas. She realizes that many of her relatives in the Kimiyoshi family, including the mayor, are dead as well. The other girls ask if the news had anything to with her and Natsumi denies it, soon excusing herself and leaving.
Natsumi goes home, where it seems everybody is out, and is confused as to the TV being left on the news channel. She watches more live coverage of the disaster when Aki suddenly appears and exclaims that this is the curse of Oyashiro-sama. Natsumi sees that her parents were home all along, who were sitting in the dark and silently watching the broadcast. Aki prays to Oyashiro-sama as Haruko plans to call their relatives and see if they're still alive. Touji goes to the store, leaving Natsumi alone with her grandmother.
Natsumi says it's fortunate that they moved out of Okinomiya when they did, but Aki takes offense to this and stares at her, repeating that this is a curse: Oyashiro-sama is angry at those who abandoned the village. Natsumi doesn't understand, and Haruko comes back and turns off the TV. She begins preparing dinner and Natsumi moves to help her, but Aki grabs her and says that every person connected to Hinamizawa will die because of the curse. Natsumi tries to break free from her grasp and is saved when Haruko breaks a dinner plate, distracting her.
Dinner with the family becomes troublesome due to Haruko and Aki arguing over whether or not it was a good idea to move from Okinomiya. Natsumi tries to intervene but Haruko gets fed up and leaves. Touji assures Natsumi that things will go back to normal later. Natsumi finishes her dinner and looks back into Aki's room, who notices her and tells her to pray to Oyashiro-sama before it's too late. Aki grabs her and Natsumi pushes her away, watching her roll on the floor. Aki continues to pray, horrifying Natsumi.
The next day, Natsumi goes to work and hears a commotion coming from Hatakeyama's room. She enters to find that dozens of human-shaped cutouts have been strung up all over the room, with the names of Hatakeyama and his family written on them. She notices that prayers to Oyashiro-sama have also been written all over, horrified when she sees they're written in blood. The nurse Yamase tries to make Hatakeyama calm down, who is fervently praying, and Natsumi stops her when she gets too rough. Yamase tells her that the old man's room has been like that all morning. Not only that, other people from Hinamizawa all across town have been showing strange behavior.
Just then, Detective Tomoe Minai enters the room with her subordinate Fujita and asks to speak with Hatakeyama. Tomoe asks him all sorts of questions about Hinamizawa, Oyashiro-sama, and the annual deaths and disappearances. Seeing how interrogative Tomoe is being, Natsumi stands between the two of them and tells the detective that she can't just interview an old like this even if she has consent from the rest of her family. Tomoe asks if Natsumi if she's also from Hinamizawa, and Natsumi lies that she isn't. Natsumi realizes the effects of her lie when she hears Hatakeyama gasp, feeling like her heart is hurting. Tomoe apologizes for the way she acted, and Natsumi excuses herself.
Natsumi hears that Hatakeyama has developed a fever and was moved to a nearby hospital, feeling guilty for it. Yamase thanks Natsumi for what she did and says that they're actually transferring Hatakeyama to the psychiatric ward. Natsumi thinks it's wrong, and the nurse tells her that some people admitted to the hospital need to be rehabilitated so they can better live with their families. Yamase tells Natsumi that she'll be an excellent caregiver in the future. Natsumi accepts her words of encouragement.
Natsumi leaves the hospital and runs into Tomoe again at the main gate. Natsumi accuses her of contributing to Hatakeyama's fever, and Tomoe once again apologizes for acting harsh in her interrogation. Natsumi prepares to leave when Tomoe calls her by her full name, having seen it on her nametag. She knows that she's related to the Three Families. Natsumi begins to ask what it is she wants and Tomoe says she wants to know everything.
The next day after school, Natsumi is depressed because of the hospital incident. Tamako notices and asks why she never told her and Chisato. She assures Natsumi that Chisato really does look out for her despite her behavior; Chisato's blaming herself for a Hinamizawan getting admitted into the hospital and causing Natsumi trouble. Natsumi thinks about what would've happened if she did tell them and fears how they'll react if they learned she was also from Hinamizawa. Tamako's offhand insult of Hinamizawa only solidifies Natsumi's fears. Chisato compliments Natsumi's person and apologizes for causing her depression. Natsumi is still thankful for the job.
Chisato gives Natsumi another ride to the hospital, and on the way they see police cars rushing over there. When they get there, Natsumi sees Tomoe at the scene and asks what happened. Natsumi hears on the police radio that Yamase was murdered at the hospital, and Tomoe reluctantly reports that the culprit was Hatakeyama, who died from severe blood loss. Natsumi is unable to comprehend this as paramedics carry Yamase's covered corpse out of the building. Natsumi runs over to get a good look at it despite Tomoe's warnings. She uncovers the sheet and witnesses Yamase's distorted face, screaming in terror before Fujita knocks her out on Tomoe's orders.
Natsumi wakes up in one of the hospital rooms with Chisato sitting nearby and hugging her. Chisato talks about the departed Yamase's life and laments that she was killed so horribly. She gets angry over the fact that Hatakeyama killed Yamase and then himself by clawing his throat out, showing more derision of Hinamizawans. Tomoe then enters the room and asks to speak with Natsumi, but Chisato starts telling her off. Natsumi says it's okay and sends her friend away.
Natsumi doesn't quite remember what happened after she went to the hospital, but she asks if Yamase really is dead. Tomoe affirms it and then explains what transpired on Natsumi's request. The detective asks Natsumi what she knows about Oyashiro-sama's curse, and she promises to tell only if Tomoe will stop getting her friends and family involved. Tomoe agrees, and Natsumi tells her about the legends that Hinamizawa will be destroyed by swamp gas if Oyashiro-sama is angered, that villagers are forbidden from leaving, and the annual deaths and disappearances, especially how in this year in 1983, the curse claimed a photographer and a nurse in the village clinic. Tomoe thanks her for her time and once again promises not to get her family or friends involved in her Hinamizawa case. Natsumi also asks that she not tell anyone she's related to the Three Families. After the detective leaves, Natsumi starts feeling like all of her worries have just disappeared. She realizes that she could've saved Yamase by not standing up for Hatakeyama and that all of her problems stemmed from her being a Hinamizawan. Natsumi cackles and declares that she is no longer such.
At school, Chisato gives Natsumi two movie tickets so she can go on a date with Akira. She blurts this out loud, telling everyone in the class what's been going on. Natsumi is soon surrounded by other girls, who are awed that she's been dating Akira for a while. Natsumi says its not like that, but Chisato tells her that this is her chance.
Just then, Natsumi is called to the staff room by Ogata. After she leaves, Akira, Chisato, and Tamako talk about how they've been keeping secret the fact Natsumi has a part-time job, not wanting her to get suspended. They know her mental state is not the best since there was a murder at her workplace, and she saw the corpse firsthand. What they find strange is that Natsumi herself told everyone about the incident; earlier at lunch, Natsumi was saying some very harsh things about Hinamizawa. Chisato couldn't believe she would suddenly change her attitude about someone she proved to get along well with and thinks she may really be from Hinamizawa; her constant derision of the village is her way of highlighting she's different from everyone.
Natsumi and Akira go to the movies on a Sunday. Hearing that Akira went to the movies before with Chisato, Natsumi begins feeling uncomfortable and tries to shake off her negative emotions. They talk over smoothies, where Natsumi mentions that Akira is going to Rikuo University. Akira is confused since he never talked to her about that and explains that Chisato recommended his college to him and told her to keep it secret. Natsumi feels even more jealousy, hurt that Akira would tell Chisato and not her; she tries to calm down and asks why Chisato recommended it, and Akira says she and Tamako were also planning to enroll there. Natsumi declares to herself that Chisato and Tamako betrayed her because they kept secrets and tried to separate her from Akira.
Natsumi starts to cry and collapses while trying to leave. Akira asks her what's wrong and then lifts her on his back, going to bring her home. Natsumi is dropped off at a street corner to head home by herself, not wanting her mom to see she'd been hanging out with a guy. When she gets home, an angry Haruko asks if Natsumi's been keeping secret her part-time job from them, saying she got a call from a teacher earlier. Natsumi is enraged that Ogata went behind her back, who had called her earlier to address the rumors. Haruko doesn't want to hear excuses and tells Natsumi she should just leave the house if she's ungrateful. Natsumi once again realizes that she never asked to be a Hinamizawan and never wanted to be born a Kimiyoshi. She heads to her room later, after receiving a one-sided scolding form Haruko and Touji. She decides to use her money for her and Akira instead of her parents and goes to sleep.
Natsumi returns from school one day to find her mother straddling over her grandmother and repeatedly stabbing her. She had grown tired of Aki's prayers and argued with her, then this happened. After Touji came come, Haruko coerced him and Natsumi into hiding Aki's corpse so they could go back to their normal lives. A few days later however, Natsumi sees on the news that the police have found Aki's dismembered corpse. Haruko accuses one of them for messing up the corpse disposal and claims that Natsumi was the one who really killed Aki earlier, much to her confusion. She tells Natsumi that she'll be sacrificed on behalf of the family. Natsumi still doesn't understand and cries, and Haruko assaults her while blaming her for all of their problems. Touji stops his wife and promises to turn himself in and take responsibility. Suddenly, Haruko stabs him in the throat with a knife and kills him. She rants that she had a perfect life after moving from Okinomiya, and it was all ruined. Natsumi uns and hides in Aki's room while Haruko takes the knife and tries to talk to her. The phone rings as Natsumi profusely apologizes. Haruko tries to stab her and Natsumi dodges it, grabbing the phone and calling for help from whoever's on the other end. She opens the front door and sees that Akira's there for some reason, however Haruko knocks him out. Haruko tries to stab her daughter one more time, and Natsumi wrestles with her over the knife. She soon stabs her mom in the throat, killing her. Natsumi falls unconscious, wondering when everything started to spiral out of control.
Natsumi wakes in her bed, believing that her entire family being killed was just a nightmare. She still wants to throw away everything related to Hinamizawa. Natsumi goes downstairs and is hit by a strange smell. She starts hearing extra footsteps behind her, feeling a presence and wanting to turn around and look. Natsumi realizes that her parents are lying dead on the floor, with her grandma seemingly praying at the altar. She promises to pray to Oyashiro-sama from now on and tries to get Aki's attention when her head sudenly falls off. Natsumi tries to open the front door and screams.
The incident at Natsumi's house eventually reached the news; her Hinamizawan heritage was now known by everyone, and she was to leave the school. On the school roof, Akira regrets not being able to help Natsumi when he had the most opportunity to. Just then, Natsumi steps onto the roof and Akira hugs her. He apologizes for not protecting her and professes his love for her again. Natsumi asks if Akira loves her enough that he'll die with her and starts choking him. Natsumi's voice changes to a demonic one as she exclaims that she and Akira will be happy together. Akira breaks free and tries to run but Natsumi grabs his ankle. He tells her to stop and Natsumi takes this to mean he doesn't love her anymore. She lets go and starts clawing at her throat, spraying blood everywhere.
Natsumi blames him as she dies. Akira sadly hugs her corpse.
Kageboushi-hen.
Natsumi, Chisato, and Tamako hang out at a coffee shop and meet Mamoru Yamashina, the son of Chisato's chauffeur. Chisato introduces Natsumi to him and orders a cake, wanting to celebrate Akira confessing to Natsumi. Natsumi later thanks the girls for their help in recommending Misaki University to her. Chisato asks her where she'll take Akira when she confesses to him, making her choke a little in embarassment. The cake arrives and Natsumi compliments the taste, wondering if the Angel Mort restaurant in her hometown has similar ones. Sensing Natsumi's sadness at bringing up the fact she's from a rural town, Tamako starts conversing with her about Angel Mort and the waitress outfits. She asks for a reminder on where Natsumi was from, and before she can answer, Natsumi notices a live TV report that the Great Hinamizawa Disaster has occurred. Natsumi awkwardly excuses herself. Chisato and Tamako wonder what's up, and Mamoru tells them that Natsumi's from Hinamizawa, knowing that the Angel Mort she was talking about was near there.
Natsumi accidentally locks herself out of her house on a rainy day. Akasaka and Ooishi approach her, introducing themselves as from Okinomiya Books and offering to speak with her sheltered at a shop. Natsumi asks why they're here and Akasaka says they're writing a book about regional history and heard that the old lady living here was from Hinamizawa. Natsumi buys their explanation and is convinced to hang out with them until Aki gets home.
The three go to a coffee shop. After getting acquainted, Akasaka asks Natsumi about Oyashiro-sama and says that many Hinamizawans after the Great Hinamizawa Disaster have been acting strange and blaming the god's cuse for their misfortune. Natsumi shudders when she hears this, and Ooishi asks if her family is doing alright. He suddenly grabs Natsumi's face and makes her look at him as he interrogates her, mentioning Rika's murder and wanting to know what Natsumi knows. Natsumi says she doesn't know anything, and Akira suddenly arrives to break them apart. He ewscorts Natsumi out of the store.
The next day at lunch, the girls tease Natsumi about her body and say that Akira must look at female models a lot for his art. Chisato notices Natsumi trembling and clutching her skirt. Chisato and Tamako leave to talk privately about how uncomfortable Natsumi is and how she's hiding the fact she's from Hinamizawa. They go back to overhear Akira talking with Natsumi about how he saw strange talismans printed all over her house. Natsumi says that the curse of Oyashiro-sama is nonsense, but Akira says he doesn't mind and assures her that nobody else knows it was her house. Natsumi bellows out that he's lying, catching her friends by surprise. After an awkward silence between Akira and Natsumi, the girl runs off. A later TIP has Chisato mentioning that she told Natsumi to set Rikuo University aside and plans to tell her that it and Misaki University and sister schools.
Tomoe is tasked with speaking to Natsumi's family since Akasaka and Ooishi botched it last time. She goes to the park and notices Natsumi sitting alone on a bench, having apparently ditched school. Tomoe takes a seat next to her and acts friendly, giving Natsumi a juice can and pretending to be a graduated student of her school. After conversing a bit and getting Natsumi comfortable with her, Tomoe sees a newspaper in Natsumi's bag with a "Great Hinamizawa Disaster" headline and asks to see it. Natsumi tries to keep the paper away and accidentally spills her juice on Tomoe. As Natsumi cleans it up, Tomoe is moved by her sudden kindness and realizes that Natsumi is hurting because of her ties to Hinamizawa. Tomoe lays bare her thoughts about the disaster's coverage and how thoughtless it is to use the suffering of others for attention.
Natsumi has an idea of what Tomoe's talking about and says that many people don't have common sense. She rants that friendship is meaningless, that some people only help and pretend to be friendly when it supports their interests. Tomoe is disturbed by her sudden change in behavior and accidentally calls Natsumi by her last name, which she shouldn't know; Natsumi sees that Tomoe is a detective and insults her, as her suspicions were just proven true. Natsumi begins to leave when the detective apologizes for deceiving her. She asks if Natsumi really wants to live life by not trusting anyone, stressing that she and Natsumi really do have similar lives; they both have experienced despair and couldn't trust others at times. Tomoe ends her speech by telling Natsumi that the world is not as cold as she's making it out to be, inadvertently crying afterwards. Although Natsumi looks back at her with a cold expression, Tomoe felt like the girl was shaking. Natsumi leaves, having enjoyed Tomoe's talk and wishing that they met earlier. Left alone on the bench, Tomoe gets up after a while and notices Natsumi left behind a small pill case.
While returning to the station with Ooishi and Akasaka, Tomoe relays her strange encounter with Natsumi and how she seemed to act like a different person than how other people described her, "snapping" like they say on the news. Later, Tomoe shows them Natsumi's pill case. She wanted to return it but hadn't had time to, and in the meantime she asked major drug manufacturers about the pill markings but they couldn't identify it; Natsumi's medicine may be illegal. Tomoe wants to confirm if Natsumi was ever hospitalized at Saeki General Hospital, since she may have records transferred from her old clinic near her hometown. Tomoe also says that the pills match the one she found at the Hatakeyama residence, where a murder-suicide occurred. When Natsumi's pills are analyzed, it turns out that it's a medicine used to treat mental illness, and it's been banned worldwide.
At school, the class starts talking about a magazine article where a household from Hinamizawa had strange talismans printed all over it. Natsumi and Akira are asked what they think, and Akira says he has no interest in trashy stories like that. Chisato admonishes Akira in private over it and explains to him that Natsumi really is from Okinomiya. Akira says he already knew that since he saw Natsumi's house had similar talismans and thought he could direct attention away from the other students talking about it. Chisato says Natsumi doesn't seem to be feeling well and promises to talk to her later.
Later, Chisato runs into Natsumi in the hallway and asks her to have fun with her and Tamako the next day. Natsumi says shell be busy and insults Chisato, caling her annoying and accusing her of only talking to her for selfish reasons. Shocked, Chisato says they're still friends and admits she went overboard in the past, but Natsumi doesn't think so and laughs. Chisato professes how much she loves Natsumi as a friend and was happy for her success in her academics and in her relationships. Natsumi then asks why she recommended she go to Misaki University while Chisato and Tamako would join Akira in Rikuo University, thinking they wanted to keep him away from her. She raises her voices and accuses Chisato of looking down on her ever since Akira confessed to Natsumi, knowing she was watching earlier. Hearing her friend rant, Chisato says she thought she was suffering because of Hinamizawa, and then Natsumi asks who told her. Natsumi labels Chisato a traitor and leaves.
The Kakiuchi Station group obtains Natsumi's school records and medical history. They learn that Natsumi had the nickname of Zashiki-warashi because of her long hair and was very introverted and anti-social. She would never talk with anyone because she said her mom would angry, which Haruko always denied. Natsumi was eventually diagnosed with anemia and given medication. Akasaka hypothesizes that Natsumi's behavior change began after she began taking that anti-excitement medication, and that all her dark emotions were suppressed.
Just then, it is reported that Chisato was attacked by an unknown assailant. Akasaka goes to talk to her in the hospital and asks if she suspects Natsumi of attacking her. Tamako is sure that Natsumi wouldn't do something so horrible, and Akasaka assures them that his goal is not to arrest Natsumi, but to save her and stop her from committing another crime. Chisato confesses that Natsumi did attack her. Officers from Kakiuchi Station are soon dispatched all over find Natsumi, with the express goal of making her surrender voluntarily. Some officers are sent to Natsumi's house while reports come in that the head of Aki Kimiyoshi has been found in the Gifu mountains.
At the park after school, Akira asks Natsumi to please tell him the truth, but she just laughs him off. Ooishi walks over and reintroduces himself. Natsumi is suspicious of him, but after seeing him hold out her pill case, a surprised Natsumi takes it back. The two students begin to leave, and Ooishi mentions he saw something weird painted on Natsumi's house earlier. He wonders aloud how Natsumi's grandma is doing since nobody's seen her for a while, and notices that Natsumi is trembling. Akira looks concerned seeing Natsumi's reaction, and she runs off.
A flashback occurs to before Aki was found dead. Natsumi remembers how she was always frustrated with Aki even before the disaster, and how her strange medicine helped her control the dark emotions swirling around inside her. Ever since the disaster, Natsumi's been getting less and less medicine, and a voice started talking to her inside her head. After going home with Akira and letting him see the weird decorations, that voice began speaking to Natsumi even more loudly and clearly. The voice tells Natsumi that she really is an aggressive person, and she shouldn't let it stay hidden.
It convinces Natsumi to follow along with a plan to "accidentally" kill her grandmother. Natsumi goes home, where Aki was praying by herself, and answers the phone when it rings. As planned, Haruko was calling; Natsumi tells her that Grandma was responsible for putting those decorations on the house. Haruko warns her to get away since all their other elderly relatives were acting strange, and Aki appears behind Natsumi. She wants to give Natsumi a hug and console her, but Natsumi pushes her down and cackles when she succeeds at killing Aki.
When Natsumi's parents come home, Natsumi drags the corpse into the bathroom with some tools and begins chopping it up. She coerces Haruko and Touji into playing along since they can't bear to let others know that their daughter killed someone. Seeing her parents' fright, Natsumi says that they always forced her into doing things she didn't like such as studying and sending her to cram school, so this is only fair. In the end, Haruko and Touji reluctantly assist with the corpse disposal.
The news reports that Aki's body has been found but it hasn't been identified yet. Touji says he wants to turn himself in and purposely left Aki in an easy to find place. He tells Natsumi to wake up and face reality, and she starts hallucinating; she sees horns on the shadows of her parents, and so she grabs a knife and stabs Touji, killing him. Natsumi soon kills Haruko and hears the doorbell ringing, but she ignores it. Natsumi is ecstatic that she's killed the demons masquerading as her parents, and then Akira gets into her house. Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Natsumi realizes that she's a demon too and asks if he still loves her before knocking him out with a vase.
Natsumi's evil self asks her what she'll do now; Akira will definitely tell the police when he wakes up, and it'll be off to jail for her. He'll live the rest of his life with a certain someone, who Natsumi can't let get away. Excited at the prospect of spending forever with Akira, Natsumi crazily scratches her neck and is interrupted when Akasaka and the police arrive. Natsumi suddenly falls unconscious.
Natsumi is given medication and brought to the hospital. She cooperates with Fujita in answering several questions, but she has fragmented memories of the last few days. Ooishi knows that Natsumi undoubtedly killed her family, but he thinks her memories and personality were split in two because of her medication; Natsumi may have an alternate self that harbors a separate set of memories.
Natsumi is allowed to go to the bathroom alone, where she wonders why she's in the hospital. She thinks about her prior experiences in the hospital and wonders why there are now detectives talking to her. Just then, Aoi Hatakeyama, a fellow patient, walks up to her and says that she killed her family too. Aoi talks about how she killed her family because she always hated them, and Natsumi remembers being scolded by Haruko because of her part-time job. She remembers not wanting to be a Hinamizawan and imagines killing her family. Natsumi finally remembers that she was going to kill Chisato before the police interrupted her.
Natsumi obtains a knife and goes to the hospital roof, where Chisato is sitting alone, and locks the door. Natsumi makes clear her murderous intent as she approaches her, and Chisato calmly asks what she'll do after she kills her. Natsumi says she never thought that far and gets angry when Chisato makes a sarcastic remark. Natsumi blames Chisato for betraying her and selling her out to the police, and for trying to sabotage her relationship with Akira. Chisato continues to be unfazed by Natsumi's threats and says she's the one who betrayed them first, since she kept her Hinamizawa heritage secret from her friends. Chisato and Natsumi argue and blame each other for betraying them when Natsumi has enough and charges at her friend, but Chisato moves a tiny bit and causes her to crash into her instead. They struggle. Chisato manages to get the upper hand and kicks Natsumi's knife away. She straddles Natsumi and restrains her while calling her a bad friend for not talking with her friends over her different way of thinking.
Natsumi remembers what Tomoe told her a few days ago about not forgetting her past. Chisato asks again what Natsumi will do when she kills her, and claims that afterwards, the happiness Natsumi wants will leave her alone in darkness. At this mention, Natsumi remembers when her parents sent her to cram school. She worked hard and hard, feeling so isolated, and then Chisato and Tamako introduced themselves. Seeing that Natsumi is regaining her sense of self, Chisato says she understands her, and that she has the power to do anything. Natsumi finally breaks into tears. She wanted help all this time, but nobody seemed to understand her. Chisato gives Natsumi a heartfelt speech and starts approaching her despite Natsumi's warnings to get away, and asks her to believe in her. Natsumi doesn't know what to do now that she's killed her family, and Chisato promises that they'll atone together. When Akira and other detectives finally enter the roof, they find Chisato and Natsumi tearfully embracing each other.
Afterwards, Natsumi turned herself in to the police. She went to court and earned a not guilty verdict because of the information gained by the deceased Tomoe: Natsumi's medicine proved a contribution to her detiorated mental state. Though she didn't face charges, the reputation of killing her family still stuck around, and so Natsumi had to leave town. She was given intense rehabilitation in a mental hospital, but she had Akira, Chisato, and Tamako supporting her all the way. Finally, five years later, Natsumi and Akira get married, hosting a private wedding with their two friends, Akasaka, and Miyuki attending. Natsumi wishes she could've told Tomoe how she felt right now.
Tokihogushi-hen.
In 1982, Natsumi visits Hinamizawa and accidentally knocks over some motorcycles, attracting the attention of some delinquents. They harass and threaten her for knocking them down when Tomoe steps in and chases them away. Natsumi and Tomoe make their acquaintances where Tomoe says she's a police officer and tells Natsumi to contact her for help if she ever needs anything. Natsumi doesn't respond, seemingly afraid of her being police, and leaves.
Tomoe goes to the hospital and runs into Natsumi again, who's picking up medication from the pharmacy. Natsumi thanks her for earlier and apologizes for how she acted, and they talk some more. They learn they both live in Kakiuchi, and Natsumi starts telling Tomoe all about her thoughts and feelings about the city, They start building a friendship and Natsumi is encouraged to start doing the same for her own friends back home. Natsumi is called to get her medicine and she leaves, but not before exchanging contact info with Tomoe.
Miotsukushi-hen Ura.
Natsumi develops a strong friendship with Tomoe, who has begun tutoring her outside of class. A few days ago, Tomoe and Natsumi talked at a bus stop where Natsumi accidentally let her hair down, revealing just how pretty she could be. Natsumi explains she used to keep her hair down but was bullied for it, and Tomoe convinces her to be herself and keep it like that to impress her friends. Natsumi does so and is met with praise by her classmates the next day. Akira confesses to Natsumi and she accepts.
Tomoe and Natsumi celebrate the latter's newfound popularity with this small change over lunch. After eating, Natsumi starts to take her medicine but decides to do it later, explaining that she gets sleepy with it. She takes the medicine after studying so her head stays clear. Tomoe reviews Natsumi's homework and compliments her for her translation efforts. Natsumi asks if she can start referring to Tomoe as her sister. Tomoe agrees after some contemplation and takes Natsumi home in a taxi.
Natsumi's family plans to visit Hinamizawa for the Watanagashi Festival, and Natsumi asks to bring Akira too. However, Touji and Haruko won't allow it.
Natsumi's dark personality threatens to take control of her. She hallucinates about killing her family before running off to the park and fallng unconscious. Tomoe sees her and rouses her awake, where Natsumi asks for her medicine. Tomoe begins pulling some pills out but Natsumi stops her, saying she'll disappear if she takes them. Tomoe then goes to a phone booth to call for help but returns upon seeing Natsumi scratching at her throat. Natsumi uses this opportunity to grab Tomoe and tries choking her to death. Tomoe caresses her face and tells Natsumi that she can overcome the dark forces within her.
Spurrred on by her support, Natsumi recalls a Fragment of the future in "Kageboushi-hen"'s world. Natsumi attended a court hearing for the murder of her family, where Fujita defended her and claimed she wasn't in a normal state of mind because of her medicine. Natsumi ultimately received a not guilty verdict. She later learned that Tomoe gave her life to get this data and prove Natsumi's innocence. Remembering how much Tomoe has done for her, Natsumi is able to fight her evil self and dispel it before falling unconscious again.
Natsumi reawakens in the hospital and is consoled by Tomoe, who tells her that everything will be alright. Chisato soon enters the room and talks to Natsumi, asking why she never consulted her friends about her problems. Tomoe leaves the two of them alone. In the meantime, Natsumi's blood is tested and analyzed for traces of her medicine, which turns out to be Placil. This medicine was banned in Japan after the Lowell Incident. Tomoe pursues new leads in her case thanks to this outcome.
