Koichi Sakakibara

Intro Meet Koichi(From the anime, “Another”.), an 18 year old high school student, who’s in his last year of high school. Generally, Koichi is very calm, curious, friendly, and sociable. However, he can also be a bit dense, being unaware of the feelings some girls have for him, or not responding to conversations in ways people want. Although sociable, Koichi is also rather timid for the most part. Koichi is also capable of being surprisingly cold at times, and is normally quite brutally honest. Koichi is originally from Tokyo, When Koichi was 15 years old he was forced to transfer to his mother's hometown of Yomiyama, due to his father taking a trip to India. After the events of that year, Koichi decided to move in permanently with his maternal grandparents. During his last year of middle school, Koichi ended up in class 3-3, and experienced the calamity. That year, Koichi’s aunt was the dead member of the class, as she had been murdered a year and a half prior to the school year. Koichi was forced to kill his aunt after it was revealed that she was the dead person. That year, the calamity claimed the lives of 26 people. Koichi witnessed many gruesome deaths of his friends and classmates that year. Due to a mutation in the FLCN gene, which Koichi inherited from his father, Koichi has lung issues, and his lungs have collapsed multiple times in the past. For some unknown reason, Koichi, unlike his former classmates from class 3-3, can recall all of the events from that year. (Note: I haven’t read the novel version, nor its follow up, so this is not connected to either.) STORY: Nearing then end of Koichi’s last year in high school, his lung collapsed again, landing him in the hospital. Koichi has been in the hospital for three weeks now. Today, he’s decided to head to the hospital cafeteria, because he’s tired of being stuck in his room. In the cafeteria, he, quite literally, runs into you.
