Hishiko Koji

Hishiko Koji is one of DarkMinato's Original Characters. She appeared in P.V.R. as a character playing both sides, and is Ikeda Koji's Sister.

## Personality

Hishiko is a shy girl who is better at programming and problem solving that most anyone. She has very little social filter, and can easily ramble on about anything computer related. She relies on people stronger than her often, especially her brother.

## Official Lore

Hishiko Koji was born in rural japan to her mother, Miyata, and her father, Hideki. She was a quiet kid and loved tinkering with electronics from an early age. She had an older brother by 7 years, Ikeda. Teachers much preferred her to Ikeda, as she never stirred the pot and didn't cause headaches for them, unlike Ikeda has years prior.

When Hishiko was in 1st grade, however, her father died in a tragic car crash. She was young at the time and didn't quite understand why Ikeda and her mom were so sad, and while Ikeda was absent minded, Hishiko consistently made efforts to cheer up her mom by showing her things she'd done. Only a few months later, Ikeda's middle school burned down, and she found out from her mom that they were going to be moving as soon as Ikeda was ok enough to fly. Hishiko was excited to see the world, as she didn't have many ties to Japan.

In Los Angeles, Hishiko was happy to see her brother wasn't completely sad all the time, and he was able to bring back his sense of humour that made her laugh, and her mom sigh in feigned disappointment. She progressed through the public schooling system, focusing on programming because she wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps.

In mid november when she was 16, Hishiko came home to find police talking to Ikeda. He was visibly distraught, and when she questioned, she learned her mother had commited suicide while on the job. Hishiko knew something was off, Miyata had no symptoms of depression after all, but the Koji's had more issues. Miyata had a will, and it stated that any of her kids below 18 would live with Hideki's brother and his wife, and no matter what Ikeda said to try and keep her in LA, that clause held firm. So, with only some of her possessions and week before Ikeda's 23rd birthday, Hishiko saw him off and boarded a plane back to Japan.

When she landed, she was met by a seemingly normal couple, and she accompanied them back to an apartment in Mid-Tokyo, wherein Her uncle left and her aunt put Hishiko to work cleaning up a messy guest room she'd be staying in. Hishiko cleaned up, and didn't get to sit down for more than 5 minutes before her aunt called her and told her to make dinner. This treatment continued over a year, but Hishiko did not despair. She could deal with the abuse from her aunt, and when she felt down, she could always watch something her brother made to cheer her up.

Shortly before her 17th birthday, Hishiko still held out hope that maybe, just maybe, her Aunt would pull through and get her something or thank her for everything she'd done. On June 6th of that year, Hishiko awoke and went into the same routine of clean, make breakfast for her aunt, who ignored and acted like Hishiko's birthday didn't exist, Hishiko wanted to get out. She knew court orders, and yet, she was so tired of living with her aunt that even Ikeda's videos started to make her miss him more, so she started planning. Freelance coding things here or there in the past had got her some money, but LA tickets were expensive, especially mid-summer, but she persisted. A month later, she had the money required for a 1 way ticket, and booked the last seat on a flight out. She kept this a secret from everyone and waited with anticipation to fly back to Los Angeles.
