Spoiler: click to toggle


Occupation: Student
Grade Level: Second Year
Powers/ Abilities: Expert Koto Player, Infectious Negativity, Delusional Sakura

Expert Koto Player:

Sakurayami learned the art of koto from her father, and has reached an exceptional skill level, although not quite a master yet. There is nothing supernatural about her skill, although this is not to say that her playing could be enhanced in any way.

Infectious Negativity:

Due to the severe nature of negativity that afflicts Sakurayami, there is a passive effect that such negativity to rub off on others near her. While this is normally not contingent on others, this tendency is strengthened whenever Sakurayami engages in spiritual activities such as meditation or singing. For those who are affected, common ailments are feelings of regret, disappointment, and resentment. The effect is only temporary and behaves much like the slight warms that you get when you stand in front of a microwave.

Sakura Paranoia:

When in the presence of a significant amount of cherry blossoms, Sakurayami can create an area centered around herself known as Sakura Gloom, wherein cherry blossom petals are perpetually and slowly falling regardless of the original amount.

Within this area, delusional thoughts of possible plots and plans are implanted into others, depending on the context. Those with strong will may be only mildly affected, while those with a proficiency in logic may rationalize the best option. However, those with neither may find themselves in a state of mild to severe anxiety and paranoia.

Sakurayami can only maintain Sakura Gloom for a period of one second for each blossom, and it can terminate prematurely either by the will of Sakurayami or by singing the Itsuki Lullaby. When the effect ends, the cherry blossoms return back to their original location, whether on the branches of the trees or in a collection of flowers. Her ability can be reactivated after one week or if someone either says or conveys an equivalent of "I trust you" or "I don't trust you".

Equipment You Have:


  • A cell phone
  • A black koto carrying case which doubles as her school backpack.
  • A female Hyakuji High School uniform, consisting of the standard blue blazer, brown sweater, and white shirt. Sakurayami has elected to have a brown ribbon, a knee length skirt, black knee high socks, and black shoes.
  • A custom-built 21-string koto threaded with spider silk. The main board is decorated with cherry blossom motifs and is slightly fluorescent.
  • A set of silver "koto picks", which are actually more like fingernail covers shaped like blade-like claws. The school board has reluctantly allowed their usage after confirming with the manufacturer that the metal talons were indeed designed for playing the koto, although the fact that the company is owned by Sakurayami's cousin was not revealed. However, she is warned not to wear them carelessly, especially within the company of other students, and that she preferably do so only in situations pertaining to the playing of the koto, so as not to cause unnecessary alarm among the school body.

Personality Description:

Melancholy appears to be Sakurayami's default disposition, one which she is more than content having. In fact, she can usually be described as almost happy when day-to-day depressing events occur. However, her reasoning can fluctuate significantly, so such a reaction may be unpredictable. She sometimes experiences bouts of panic and hysteria, triggered by a combination of paranoia and strong emotion on both ends of the spectrum.

She is often amused by cynical and pessimistic remarks, and she appears to be truly happy when others join in discourse. As such, it is often difficult to discern whether she is truly in a more pessimistic state or only behaving in such a way to amuse herself.

When consuming spirit-boosting substances, she enters a state of high spirits. While in this state, she actively tries to raise the overall condition of the community or group, but retains her paranoia and distrust of strangers, sometimes to the point of authoritarianism. As such it is highly recommended to never give Sakurayami anti-depressants of any kind.

Personal History:

Sakurayami is the second of five children, born in Oita Prefecture to Kurushima Suguru and Tanaka Haruko. Their branch of the aristocratic Kurushima family specializes in koto crafting and performance. She looks up to her older sister, Sayako, who left home to become a spirit medium. She takes care of her younger siblings, Satoshi and Satsuki.

Born mute, her grandmother brought her to their town’s largest cherry tree and prayed for her voice to be given. Whether it was a blessing or chance, Sakurayami made her first cry the following morning. Since then, she holds a deep affinity to the sakura, speaking not only through her mouth, but also through her sakura-adorned koto and occasionally through the blossoms themselves. Her relatives do not consider her or her abilities unusual in any way, which may beg the question.

She decided to attend Hyakuji High School when she drew an omikuji bearing no fortune at all, only the words “Hyakuji High School”.

Mashed Potatoes? The proof has been in the pudding for ten minutes, at least where I am.
