August 20

Misaki, the young corneal transplant recipient, seems to be having trouble sleeping.

Every night she uses her call button to tell us that she sees a "scary lady" when she closes her eyes.

We think it must be some kind of post-op delirium.

If her symptoms persist, it might be best to bring in a psychiatrist.

**Journal** is one of the files that can be found in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database text

I must be crazy, hearing the hollow echo of notes against the walls of that empty room.

And yet, there's no mistaking that take on the song. I'd know that girl's rendition of "Moonlight Sonata" anywhere.

She was my only student capable of true genius. But the accident put an end to that. Claimed her life, and stole her talent from the world. Now there's nothing left in this classroom but echoes of the past.

But even if they're echoes, I can't stop listening.

## Uses

When you talk with a dog, one of the options that is always available is feeding them, as long as you have dog food available in your inventory. Upon feeding a dog, they lead you to one of two things: either to a nearby random spot where they will dig out a small sum of Meika, or they will lead you to an undiscovered location of interest that is nearby.

Otherwise, there is no purpose during the main game to feed dogs.

Unlike other items, the player can stack 99 of this item from the start of the game. They can be bought from a convenient store or found out in the open world, usually in an apartment room.

*Since many of these injuries are inflicted on the lower half of the body, it's theorized that kamaitachi fly close to the ground.*

Kites have their roots in China, where they were originally used for military purposes. In Japan, it's customary for people to fly them as part of New Year celebrations.

As a pastime, kite-flying was especially popular during the Edo period(1603-1868). So much sol, in fact, that kite flyers would often get into fights with one another, crash their kites onto farm fields, and otherwise cause damage to property.

The shuttlecocks in hanetsuki are made from soapberries in the hopes of keeping children healthy. This is because the kanji used to write the name of the tree in Japanese, known as mukuroji, can mean "unsick child."

When I found Owada in the operating room, before he died he kept muttering about how he could see some woman. Then I saw her myself. It was a terrifying sight to behold. She was like some kind of shadow, and she looked like she was wearing a mask.

Please, you need to lock that OR. I've seen the shadow so many times since that day, and I know I'm not the only one. The room needs to be locked up before the patients start talking.

Different maneki neko have different paws raised. There are different interpretations of this detail, but it's popularly believed that those with their right paw raised invite wealth, and those with their left paw raised draw in customers.

It's therefore a prudent idea to pay attention to which paw is held up before making a purchase.

The Mystery of the Invisible Cat

**The Mystery of the Invisible Cat** is one of the KK's Investigation Notes found in the game *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database text

We got a report about people hearing meows coming from a cat no one could actually find. I'll admit, I figured it was just a stray yowling the way cats do and said we should ignore it. But Erika managed to convince Rinko it was worth looking into, so off we went.

The cries had been coming from an abandoned building in the redevelopment zone. I definitely HEARD a cat meowing, but couldn't find an actual cat.

Wasn't long, though, before Erika uncovered the root of the whole mystery. Turns out there was a nurikabe that had been blocking the way into the room where the cat was stuck, so we free the little guy and it all worked out. Maybe we're all cut out for animal control after all.

I have to say, I was impressed. Erika not only convinced the group to look into the business with the cat, she even managed to solve the whole thing herself. It's clear she's getting stronger and more resilient by the day.

If you ask me, one of these days in the not-too-distant future, she'll be the one saving our asses. And hey, with her there, I didn't have to actually go near the stupid cat, which is all the reason I need to celebrate.
Lion Mask

**Lion Mask** is one of the relics found in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database text

Headgear worn when performing lion dances.

Lion dances are one of Japan's most famous traditional arts, performed to ward off evil, invite bountiful harvest, and more.

As the name indicates, they involve donning costumes that resemble lions, despite the fact that these kings of the jungle don't natively inhabit Japan.

Lion dances originated in India, the birthplace of Buddhism, where lions are revered.

It is believed that Chinese interpretations of the lion dance added masks, which were later brought to Japan along with Buddhism itself.
Furin

**Furin** is one of the relics found in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database entry

A type of glass chime hung from the edge of a roof or near a window that makes beautiful sounds when wind blows into it.

Furin are an iconic symbol of summertime in the minds of many Japanese, and the sound they make is thought to have a cooling effect that helps one forget the season's hot, humid weather.

The furin is believed to be derived from a kind of Chinese bell once used for divination during the Tang dynasty (618-907). These bells were brought to Japan and used to ward off spirits.

However, by the Edo period (1603-1868), their use had shifted to the modern conception described above.
Temari

**Temari** is one of the relics found in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database entry

A traditional ball woven together with string. Though they bounce just as well as any other ball, in contemporary times, they're often appreciated for their beautiful craftsmanship.

A Japanese game known as "kemari" that utilizes temari has existed since ancient times. Non-competitive by nature, kemari was imported from China around the 6th century and tasks players with working together to keep the temari in the air for as long as possible.

Though not ordinarily played outside Shinto shrines these days, there are a number of volunteer organizations who work to keep the tradition alive.

Pig Incense Burner

**Pig Incense Burner** is one of the relics found in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database entry

Japanese summers are rife with mosquitoes. To combat this, special incense with insecticide properties is burned inside portable vessels to make for safe and easy handling.

These containers are known officially as "kayariki" in Japanese, the open-faced pig type being an especially iconic variety known as "kayaributa."

Why the pig came to popularly represent kayariki is a matter up to debate. Some theories suggest that it was modeled after a firefighting boar god, while others posit that it was meant to evoke the pig envoy of a water god.

Still others argue that it may have simply been a case of the original specimen coming out looking like a pig and the artisan deciding to have some fun and go all the way with it.

Whatever the case, these mosquito-busting swine are as much a symbol of summertime in Japan as braying cicadas and kakigori shaved ice.
Reporter's Notes

**Reporter's Notes** is one of the files that can be found in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Text

I asked the chief of Investigation Unit 1 about the recent incidents where people in Shibuya have been vanishing without a trace, and I was told only that "it's being looked into."

When I pressed further and mentioned the clothing found at the scene in each case, the chief was clearly rattled. Something must be going on here.

When I stopped by again the next day, it was a detective who came to speak with me. He was rude, foul-mouthed and stubborn. He kept correcting me whenever I said the word "vanishing," and insisted we were dealing with simple "missing persons cases."
The Sports Avenue Barker

**The Sports Avenue Barker** is one of the KK's Investigation Notes found in the game *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database text

I was on Sports Avenue in Shibuya the other day, and there were all these barkers going up to just about every young person in the area, trying to draw in some customers to their shops.

None of them came near me, though. Probably because they could tell I'm a detective and wouldn't put up with their bullshit.

But then one of them DID approach me... and it was a rokurokubi. Now, in my mind, when a lady comes up to you asking you for something, you can't just ignore them if you know what's good for you. The goes double when you're talking a bout a rokurokubi.

Anyway, I tried to chase the thing down, and it gave me the runaround all over the alleys of Shibuya before I managed to corner it. Got myself a magatama for the trouble, though, which I passed off to Ed and Rinko.

The Sewer Kid

**The Sewer Kid** is one of the KK's Investigation Notes found in the game *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database text

A report came in about people in Shibuya disappearing near a manhole. The whole thing smelled wrong, but Rinko was all too happy to "delegate" the task to me.

I thought it could all just be some stupid prank, but I still went to meet up with the person who got in touch with us. Turns out it was a little kid named Ryota. Perfect. Lucky me, getting to be some kid's gofer on top of being Rinko's errand boy.

Anyway, the kid told me about how someone named Sosuke disappeared near a manhole and asked me to go looking for him. At this point, I was thinking Sosuke was the kid's little brother or something. I mean, why wouldn't I?

I found the manhole, and near it a spirit claiming it had been killed by some kind of monster. Supposedly, they'd been standing right on top of the manhole when it happened.

Intrepid guy that I am, I climbed on down. I'd only ever been down into the sewers one other time, back in my days on the force, and it was just as shitty this time as it was back then.

So, once I got down, I ran into this kid in a yellow raincoat just hanging out there! Not the first place I'd think to find a lost kid, but I figured it could be Sosuke, so I called out to him. Which turned out to be a real bright idea, because it was actually the monster.

The thing saw me, blew a whistle, and then a bunch more of them showed up to ruin my day. Thankfully I took the things down, but next time I'll just go ahead and take care of them BEFORE getting noticed, instead of running my mouth.

Surprise of surprises, in the end, Sosuke actually DID show up---and he was a damn dog! My heart just about stopped when I first spotted him. Thanks, kid. I guess I'm a pet detective now, too.

The Kirigaoka Vanishing

**The Kirigaoka Vanishing** is one of the KK's Investigation Notes found in the game *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database text

Reports about that fog kept creeping in. Even so, every time we would up somewhere, it would already be gone, leaving nothing but some dreary rain in its place.

Today was no different. Rinko's monitoring device picked something up, but when we got there, all we found were the clothes of a mother and her son. Left behind, like two molted cicada shells.

It's hard to even imagine. A parent and her child, just gone. Precious lives, snuffed out forever. My heart sank knowing that I failed to protect them. It was the worst feeling I'd ever felt.

As if on cue, the rain started pouring down. Heavier and heavier it fell with each passing minute, but I couldn't be bothered to take out my umbrella.

Suddenly, a group of monsters appeared in front of me, brandishing their own umbrellas. I don't know what came over me at that moment. I was so furious that I flung myself at them. They tried to protect themselves with the umbrellas, but I just kept pounding on them until they were battered and broken.

I was so exhausted I could've fallen over at any moment, but pure wrath kept me going. As I made to leave, I still refused to open up my own umbrella. I just walked away, the pouring rain soaking me to the bone.

Strawberry Daifuku

## Database entry

Glutinous rice cake stuffed with strawberry filling. A perfect blend of sweet and sour.

In general, daifuku refers to a dumpling stuffed with red bean paste and coated in glutinous rice flour dough. This variety has its roots in daifuku mochi, which was first invented in Japan's Edo period (1603-1868).

Strawberry daifuku's 20th century origins make it a more recent invention than traditional daifuku, though it enjoys no less popularity than its elder snack-sibling.

Incidentally, even though the word "daifuku" is pronounced the same, the original "daifuku" in "daifuku mochi" means "large stomach," whereas the contemporary appellation has a more auspicious meaning: "great fortune."
Rice Ball (Katsuobushi)

**Utamaro Ukiyo-e** is one of the relics found in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database entry

Utamaro Kitagawa was an ukiyo-e artist from Japan's Edo period (1603-1868) who specialized in a genre known as "bijin-ga," or artwork depicting beautiful women.

He saw a meteoric rise in popularity when he incorporated the techniques of okubi-e, an ukiyo-e style that typically depicted only a subject's upper body, to bijin-ga.

Unfortunately for the artist, the attention was a double-edged sword, as the shogunate government viewed him as a dangerous, socially disruptive figure and issued a law banning the production of okubi-e works.

Though he defied the law and continued to produce his art, a piece depicting Hideyoshi Toyotomi at a cherry blossom viewing saw him branded a criminal and thrown into prison. He contracted an illness and died two years later.

Red Bean Ohagi

**Red Bean Ohagi** is one of the consumables in *GhostWire: Tokyo.*

## Database entry

A Japanese sweet made by covering a ball of glutinous rice with red bean paste.

In some circles, its name varies depending on the time of year, being dubbed "ohagi" when eaten in the fall, but "botamachi" if consumed in spring.

This divergence is thought to stem from its resemblance to different flowers that bloom during the respective seasons--namely those of the bush clover (or "hagi" in Japanese) in autumn and peonies (or "botan" in Japanese) in spring.
