#HIGURASHI SHION MION TITLE HOW TO#

He spent most of his time in Tokyo and Chiba, but the cops can't find a resident record for anyone of his name. (Takano had it in her car in Chapter 3, though.) He's been coming to Hinamizawa for 'the last 5-6 years', which means he might have been there in 1978 when Mamoru was around and it's theoretically possible for Rika to have known about him in 1978 through means other than supernatural powers. He travels with a folding bike, which in Onikakushi they find 300 yards away from his body. They're only able to track him back as far as a cheap hotel in Shishibone City, and they think 'Jirou Tomitake' may be a pen name, which is to say a fake name. They note he's very strong and athletic, and Ooishi estimates it would take four people to beat him down in a fight (is that significant?). Are the dog tags on his sprite a hint of something? The most information we have about him is the TIPS showing the investigation after his death in Onikakushi. I feel like he's working for somebody, though.

Tomitake - Little odd that a nature photographer knows how to pick locks, isn't it? If he's working for the police he's deep cover indeed, because Ooishi has no idea who he is when investigating his death. Just because he's police and she's down with ACAB? There is the matter of why Mion seems to hate him so much, even to the point of thinking she should have killed him.

His actions at the end of Himatsubushi pretty much make it impossible that he's part of a conspiracy, not if he's co-authoring 'Higurashi - When They Cry'. He'll use a kid like Keiichi if need be, but he won't shoot a man in the back (if only to protect his pension). Ooishi - I think Ooishi is basically what he appears to be, an old cop who wants to solve the case.
