**Ichikawa-san**, also known as **Yui Ichikawa** (市川 由衣, *Ichikawa Yui*), is one of the characters in Saiko No Sutoka and Akira's crush. She's an NPC character from Nightmare mode (enemy or ally, depending on the situation) and the main antagonist in Saiko no Sutoka: Halloween Edition.

## Appearance

Ichikawa-San looks like a Japanese student with bright yellow eyes and curly, short blonde hair. She will appear in Nightmare Mode as an ally or an enemy.

> Die, you piece of shit!

In the original game, there is no information about her personality or character, other than that she is Akira's crush. This is expanded upon in the 8 parts of the lore on YouTube, having her appear as a polite and pleasant person.

However, Yui appears to show a sadistic side in Nightmare Mode and in the spin-off. In Nightmare Mode, she is occasionally an ally, but when she is not, she tries to deceive Akira to get closer to him and kill him with a scissors. In the Halloween Edition, she is the primary enemy, and tries to kill Akira every time she sees him. Yui verbally abuses him in every possible way, calling him a "piece of shit" and wishing that he "died already". She also makes fun of Saiko if she catches her without her eyes, asking Akira, "do you think that she can help you?". As this edition is likely only one of Akira's dreams, it's unknown if this part of her character "canonically."

## Biography

In the lore, Ichikawa-san first appears in Akira's classroom, studying. A bit later, Shinji throws Akira`s pencil to her, trying to force Akira to come near Ichikawa-San. The prank goes wrong when Shinji starts to laugh loudly, making the teacher ask him to be quiet. Shinji retorts back that the teacher forgot to say please, and Ichikawa-san notices it, causing Akira to feel embarrassed. After the lessons pass, Ichikawa stands near the exit, laughing with two other girls. Akira, walking alone in the hallway, hears this. Her friends finally leave the school, and Ichikawa plans to leave too, but when she takes out her umbrella, it gets thrown away by the wind coming from opened exit door. Ichikawa-san looks around, surpsised, as Akira watches from the corner. Akira looks at his umbrella, thinking that it's his chance. He starts dreaming how Ichikawa-san will walk with him under the umbrella, but throws these thoughts out of his head. Saiko appears from the other corner, watching Akira as well as Ichikawa-san. Akira goes up to her, offering an umbrella, teliing her that he has another one in his bag. Ichikawa thanks him, and leaves the school with his umbrella.

	+ Yui appears in Nightmare mode with the killed Shinji and a Dead Saiko.
	+ Saiko knows that Akira likes Yui.
* She is the shortest character in the series.
