Himeko Inaba, also known as Inaban and Dereban, is one of the main characters from the Kokoro Connect series.
== Charactah Account ==
Himeko is vice president of the Student Cultural Society. She excels in gathering information and analysis, possessing private data on each of the club members. She's calm and logical, but she's also rather blunt, so she has difficulty dealing with delicate situations.
Due to certain reasons she prefers everyone else, with the exception of her family, to addressed her by last name, Inaba.
She had an inherent difficulty in trusting anyone including herself. However, as she had pointed out herself, unlike her friends she did not experience any particular trauma; she was born with such personality. She deeply despises herself for this, which results in her rather negative self-esteem.

== Trivia ==
* The name Himeko means "princess" (hime) and "child" (ko).
* Himeko's surname Inaba means "rice plant" (ina) and "leaf" (葉) (ha), which means "leaves of the rice plant" altogether.
** Iori Nagase affectionately nicknames Inaba "Inaban" and later coins the name "Dereban". In the English Dub of the anime, she was called "Sukiban" instead. In the official English translation of the novel, she is called "Ina-bashful".
* Inaba has a habit of chewing her nails and biting her lips when she's frustrated.
* Inaba tends to use very vulgar and masculine speech and only abstains from doing so when speaking to a stranger.
* Of all the characters, Inaba is the only one shown to own a smartphone, which appears to be an Android phone due to the similar pattern lock system.
* In the novels, Inaba is shown to have more perverted tendencies which includes and is not limited to: briefly contemplating S&M with Taichi Yaegashi, looking for pornography in her brother's room, and posing in front of her mirror in her underwear.
* Inaba owns a desktop PC, which she apparently built herself. 
* She uses a notebook that resembles the SONY VAIO series.
* Compared to the other StuCS members, Inaba's family is apparently very well-off and their house is described as quite big and luxurious.
* Inaba is frequently shown to not be athletically fit. She is often outpaced by her friends and was the only one in the club who did not run the marathon and instead rode a bike to the finish line, and even then she complained it was hard work.
* Inaba is not very good at cooking, but insists on preparing bentos for Taichi. After Yume Random, Inaba begins preparing a bento for Taichi about once per week and her skills gradually improved as a result. Apparently, her bentos are largely composed of frozen foods, but Inaba defends herself by stating that "it doesn't matter as long as it tastes good".
* Inaba is quite frugal and does not like to waste money. In Kizu Random, one of Inaba's unleashed desires was to shoplift some pencil lead simply because the price did not make it worth paying for.
