Nagoshi no Gi

*This page or section contains heavy spoilers for* NG'*s plot. Proceed with caution.*
**Nagoshi no Gi** (夏越の儀) was a rite used to seal the Kaguya Doll in Kakuriyo. Yakumo Miroku's ancestor was a spirit medium that caught the Kaguya Doll and sealed her inside a mirror with this ritual. Every ten years, a special doll filled with spiritual power was given to the spirit as a playmate to satisfy her and maintain the seal.

As the current heir of the Miroku family, this responsibility also fell on Yakumo Miroku, but he was involved in an accident that resulted in him losing his spiritual powers. Additionally, he was unable to have children, so he had no successors. Unable to perform the Nagoshi no Gi, Miroku took drastic measures and kidnapped four young girls over the next thirty years to turn into dolls and pleased the Kaguya Doll.

One of the stories that Miroku wrote was titled *Nagoshi no Gi*, which described the rite, as well as the Realm of the Dead. Natsumi and Akira referenced this novel to figure out how to save Ami.

## Plot

* It all started because Umbreon was unable to spell right, which lead to a hole to Hell being created. She and Oshawott decided to talk about hijacking a firetruck. They managed to steal a firetruck in order to extinguish Hell. Unfortunately, the truck was full of holy water mixed with gasoline, leaving them stuck down the hole surrounded by angry demons, and had to ask Ginger for help. He created a stone ladder, and managed to get them both out. The three were on the run from the police, and decided the best course of action was to go back to the US. After stowing away on a plane, (which was in fact an alien spacecraft) the three managed to crash the spacecraft at a game store in Oregon. The three quickly darted over to Oshawott’s friends house, who goes by the name of Decoy Octillery.

**Masaru Ishimaru** (石丸将, *Ishimaru Masaru*) is a character in *NG*.

## Biography

Masaru was the second son of Noboru and Youko Ishimaru. He was particularly close to his mother, and he was upset by her death. He was notorious for his violence, as well as his actions of kidnapping girls for Yakumo Miroku. Being of a prestigious family, however, these crimes were covered up.

In 1989, Masaru was likely cursed to play Kakuya's game. He had to play the Demon Tsukuyomi Game in exchange for his wish to have his mother back. To accomplish this, he went to his father's department store, Momoi Department Store, and held 24 people hostage to sacrifice them. However, despite doing everything he was required to do, his wish was not granted, and he died along with the others in the fire that he started.

As a spirit, he was merged with the other 24 souls, stuck in an infinite time loop.

## Physical description

### Gender

Female

**Satomi Kijima** (鬼島里美, *Kijima Satomi*) is a minor character mentioned in *NG*.

## Biography

In her youth, Satomi had a weak constitution, so she preferred reading and studying instead of participating in physical activities. Being a reader, she and her sister, Natsumi, were huge fans of horror novelist, Yakumo Miroku.

While she was in elementary school, her mother passed away. Later, during her college years, her father passed away. While Natsumi was sent to live with relatives, Satomi was determined to live on her own, so she began working as a housekeeper around Shinza Ward.

At one point, Satomi was employed in the Miroku family household. She worked there for over a year – way longer than the time initially stated in her contract – and she had a physical relationship with her hero, Yakumo Miroku. One day, she discovered bloodstains in the attic. When she asked about it, Miroku refused to answer her. Afraid, she fled and never returned to the mansion.

Once Satomi settled down outside Shinza Ward, she learned that she was pregnant. She ultimately decided to keep the baby, despite her hesitation, but she never revealed who the father was. She raised her child, Akira, alone for ten years. She was unable to hold a job for long, and there were days when they did not have food on the table.

Eventually, Satomi realized that she did not have long to live. Thinking about Akira's future, she finally contacted her sister for the first time in ten years. Natsumi and Akira took care of her while she was hospitalized, but she eventually passed away in 1997 due to fatigue of the heart.
Hanahiko

Hanahiko is the first spirit encountered in *Death Mark*.

## Biography

* Art book profile
"The ghost of a young boy who died due to excessive abuse. He became a plant-like monster because of the herbal medicine involved in his death, and from the "hana" in his name, which means "flower". His precious memories with his mother are full of him wearing skirts and dresses, so his appearance is similar to a girl. He hasn't changed much since conception, but the details surrounding his death were hammered out during game development."

## Trivia

* Hanahiko appears in the prologue, being one of the first spirits to be seen in-game. They appear in Saya's room, when the main character first discovers her body, being made visible by the lightning outside and chuckling before Saya's body disappears.
* Their childhood experience of being bullied for wanting to present differently as other boys and subsequently being abused by H Elementary's Principal seem to draw inspiration from the experiences of those who have later come to be transgender women, but given their time of death it is not possible to determine what life Hanahiko would've chosen for themself, nor what they actually thought of themself as.
Wander Rabbits

## Song

Wander Rabbits is a song by Momo Kuruse (also known as Kaoru Hazuki) that was created for a show. It was her debut song and caused her to become a famous occult idol.

Under the clouds, looking for the stars

I wander with my feet bare

Not knowing where to go home

I go beyond the endless night

The rabbit keeps running, chasing after the stars

Wishing to see you now

The rabbit keeps running, running up to you

Reaching the end of the night

## Trivia

* Seiji Amanome sings it later in the game if you choose his route[1]

**Tsukasa Yoshida** (吉田つかさ, *Yoshida Tsukasa*) is a character in *Death Mark*, available as a partner in Chapter 1.

## Biography

* In-game profile
* Death Mark Art Collection

> "*A young boy from a prestigious private school. His wealthy upbringing makes him polite and courteous, but he can be insufferable at times. When he's in danger, his true egotistical, self-centered nature peeks through.*"
>
>
>

> "*A young boy from a prestigious private school, he looks down on others, but he's simply honestly evaluating them instead of trying to be mean. He works to fulfill his parents' expectations though it causes him a lot of stress. He's evened out after surviving his Mark ordeal. Perhaps meeting a trustworthy adult had a greater effect on him than he realized.*"
>
>
>

Not much is known of Tsukasa's background. He comes from a presumably wealthy family and frequents the T Elementary private school. His parents are never seen in-game, but it is alluded to that he feels really pressured by them to overperform. In Chapter 6, Tsukasa says that they want him to study law one day, despite his new interest in the natural sciences after being involved with the Mark. His uncertainty that they will allow him to pursue science hints at their strictness.

## Personality

Tsukasa is initially very skeptical of the supernatural significance of the Mark, berating Moe for believing in it at her age.

## Initial Concept

> "*At first, we made him the perfect honors student in front of adults, but in truth a horrible, mean ringleader of bullies. Which would obviously end with him being cursed. But eventually, he ended up being just a pretty honest kid.*"
> ― Death Mark Art Collection

Tsukasa's original design had him with shoulder-length hair. This design was used in initial promotional material for the game, but had been changed to his current bob by the official release.

## Quotes

### Voice Lines

* When selected as a partner, Tsukasa will say "仕方ない...かな, *shikata nai...kana"* with a small pause, indicating hesitation, and it translates to the effect of "It can't be helped... I suppose."

## Trivia

* When faced directly with Tsukasa's defiant attitude for the first time, the main character remarks to himself: "*That's pretty bold. Good thing you're cute.*"
* His voice actress, Yurika Takagi, also provides the voice for Moe Watanabe.

## Trivia

* It is unknown whether or not Masao had a Mark, or how long he could have had it. Although he was killed by Shimi-O, he had no visible Mark, and the official artbook does not make a note of this.
* His voice actor, Taiki Yamashita, also provides the voice for Naomasa Ban and Mitsuru Maruhashi in *NG*.

**T Elementary** is the private school Tsukasa Yoshida frequents and obtained the Mark from Hanahiko in. It is never visited in-game.

## Trivia

* If the main character attempts to choose to investigate T Elementary instead of H Elementary, the following dialogue from Moe Watanabe is triggered:
	+ "*What? Are you serious? A lot of weirdos are around lately, so security is real tight at night. You're clearly suspicious-looking. You'd be arrested in a hot second.*"
	+ The main character's response to this is the following thoughts: "*That's... not nice to say, but she's right. It'll be safer to sneak into H Elementary.*"

Completely and utterly crushed emotionally, she committed suicide and regretfully became a spirit.

Black Postcard

A black Postcard left by Kakuya, inviting people to play her game. They are usually left around a place the person she chooses is around often. From what we can only assume by the Postcard left by her in front of Akira Kijima's appartment, they seem to contain riddles.

### Ami and Akira

The one the protagonist first comes across reads: " Once Princess Kaguya returned to the moon, she said... 'Lbamet's pboolay.' What does this mean?" The riddle was based on The Tale of Princess Kaguya also known as The Tale of The Bamboo Cutter. Ami brings up how this could mean that the wordword "Bamboo" needs to be "cut out" from the sentence. This reveals the message sentence "Let's play". Later in the game the protagonist realizes that this was an invitation for Kaguya's game.

### Natsumi Kijima

Natsumi found a card in front of the Black Rabbit Bar. Due to her picking it up she starts Kakuya's game. This causes her to faint due to mouths appearing all over her body just like with Akira.

### Yuri Takamura

Yuri Takamura was one of the first victims who has received one of these cards throughout the games story. She passed away after being hit by a car in the passagway in which she would later attack Ami and Akira.

## Physical description

### Species

Spirit

**Demon Tsukuyomi** (ツクヨミ鬼, *Tsukuyomi Oni*) is the sixth spirit encountered in *NG*.

## Biography

The Demon Tsukuyomi Game was a ritual that supposedly summoned Demon Tsukuyomi and would grant the summoner any wish, similar to the way Kokkuri or an ouija board worked. To summon him, the person would need chains, something to burn, and two hand mirrors. They would place chains surrounding them, working as a sort of altar for the ritual. After burning their offering in the altar – the value of the offering must be proportional to the size of the wish – they would recite a spell before it burned up to summon Demon Tsukuyomi by saying, "Demon Tsukuyomi... Demon Tsukuyomi... Please come here. Demon Tsukuyomi... Demon Tsukuyomi... Please grant my wish," before joining the two hand mirrors. Demon Tsukuyomi was supposed to only show up on nights when there was a moon.

In 1989, Masaru Ishimaru attempted to summon Demon Tsukuyomi at Momoi Department Store by sacrificing 24 people as his offering, in exchange for his wish to have his late mother back. However – whether it was due to the 24 victims having a stronger wish of not wanting to die, or due to Demon Tsukuyomi not being real at all – the ritual failed, and Masaru died in the fire as well.

The Demon Tsukuyomi that appeared to Akira Kijima and his friends was actually the conglomeration of the 25 souls that died in the Momoi Department Store fire.

## Trivia

* Demon Tsukuyomi is based on Tsukuyomi, the moon god in Shinto and Japanese mythology.
	+ This is similar to Kannon Soldier, which was based on the goddess of compassion and mercy.
	+ They are both also the last spirits encountered before facing their respective games' antagonists.
* The known souls part of Demon Tsukuyomi include Masaru Ishimaru, Kenji Okayama, Momotarou Okayama, Saburou Ooe, Hiroko Ooe, Yuki Ooe, and a young boy also named Masaru.
	+ Depending on the player's action, Killer Peach also merges with Demon Tsukuyomi to take Ishimaru's place.
* Unlike the previous spirits Akira has faced, Demon Tsukuyomi is the only spirit who cannot be pacified and must be destroyed.
Aoki Shūen

*This page or section contains heavy spoilers for* Death Mark'*s plot. Proceed with caution.*
*Shiin Aoki Shūen* (死印 青き終焉), translated into English as *Death Mark: Blue End* or *Death Mark: Blue Demise*, is an official voice drama released by Experience. *Aoki Shūen* is a retelling of the events of *Death Mark*, taking place in an alternate universe separate from the main story. It is comprised of four CDs.

There are currently no official plans to translate this voice drama into English.

## Overview

The premise of *Aoki Shūen* most closely aligns with the Destroy Route from the game. Yashiki and his partners destroy the spirits they encounter, leading to their deaths. It differs from the game in several ways, though. The primary antagonist of *Aoki Shūen* is not Mary, but rather a mysterious entity known as the "Master of the Mark." This entity, which was previously housed within Mary, possessed Masamune before the events of the drama CDs. Mary gave Masamune a blue Mark in order to seal its power, causing him to lose his memory in the process.

*Aoki Shūen* features characters from the original game, with the addition of Rosé. However, their personalities are drastically different from their game counterparts. Some characters are exact copies of their initial concepts, such as Tsukasa being a bully and Eita being a pedophile, while others are a blend of their initial concept with newer elements added, such as Mashita being not only aware of spirits but actively hunting them down. Additionally, Mary is a benevolent figure in this adaption. Several characters have different relationships than in the game, such as Daimon and Hiroo being "research" collaborators and Mashita and Rosé working together.

The first CD covers Yashiki's arrival at Kujou Mansion and Chapter 1 of the game, ending with Tsukasa's death.

The second CD covers Chapter 2 of the game, ending with Moe and Mashita's deaths and Rosé's introduction.

The third CD covers Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 of the game, ending with Eita, Daimon, and Hiroo's deaths, and Yashiki regaining his memories before becoming fully possessed by the Master of the Mark.

The fourth CD picks up from where the third left off and continues explaining the events leading up to the current story. The Master of the Mark confronts Mary and Rosé at Kujou Mansion, before being destroyed by the souls of the deceased partners.

Several characters do not appear in this story. It also omits Miss Zoo's chapter entirely, instead explaining that she was destroyed by the Kannon Soldier at some point. Many of the characters who did not appear in *Aoki Shūen* were instead featured in an unrelated bonus story on the fourth CD, titled *The Seven Mysteries of Kujou Mansion*. This bonus story also takes place in a universe separate from the main game.

***NG*** (エヌジー), also known as ***Spirit Hunter: NG***, is a horror game developed by Experience Inc. that was released in Japan on September 13, 2018, for the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation Vita. A spiritual sequel to *Death Mark*, it follows up on a different cast and setting from the original game, taking place five years later, but with connected characters, plot and gameplay elements.

A western release was announced at Anime Expo 2019 for October 2019 on the PlayStation 4, the PlayStation Vita, the Nintendo Switch, and Steam. The PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions will be available physically and digitally, and the PlayStation Vita and Steam versions will be digital-only.

It is the second game in the Spirit Hunter series.

## Synopsis

> "*1999, Tokyo.
> A young girl goes missing. Triggered by that event, a young man finds himself dragged into a game of death. Spirits from what most believed to be urban legends and folklore slowly eat away at his cursed life, draining his common sense. Don’t hesitate. Logic isn’t needed against them. Together with others like him who skirt the law, the young man clenches his fists and prepares to fight!*"
> ― Official Site
>
>

## Development

Developed

    with the concept of Japanese horror’s “creeping fear,” *NG* is the second entry in the "Spirit Hunter" series. Unlike the first entry, *Death Mark*, *NG* is a horror experience that plays out in a familiar setting, where the player confronts ghosts themed after fantasy and legends.

One of the traits of *NG* is its fusion of "outlaws" and "horror." It offers a never before done, unknown fear experience through its Fumiya Sumio-illustrated characters and profoundly in-depth scenarios.

## Gameplay

With the introduction of the new "Survival Escape" system, *NG* is an even greater production of "fear." Additionally, *NG* offers an even greater sense of uneasiness and tension with aspects like the "Crisis Choice" system where an error in judgment will prove immediately fatal or when "death" visits your companions.

Noboru Ishimaru was the president of the Sumii group who built the Moon Tower in Spirit Hunter NG. His family was notorious for their crimes including his son, Masaru Ishimaru who burnt down the Momoi Department Store by sacrificing 24 people. Noboru Ishimaru's crimes are intertwined with his sons, for later on Tomoko Okayama went to confront Ishimaru about the fire that killed her husband and son. He then ordered the 5/5 Club to cut her head off and dump her body elsewhere in order for news to not arise. In recent years of the NG universe, Noboru Ishimaru died a half a year ago with Okayama's grudging spirit (aka Killer Peach) having no knowledge of his death and continues to pursue him and his remaining employees at the Moon Tower.

Bashenga

## The Great King Bashenga

**Olumọ Bashenga**, better known as **the Great King Bashenga** is a character from Marvel Comics. He was the first king of Wakanda and in the MCU, the first **Black Panther**.

## History

### Background

Olumọ Bashenga was an African warrior-shaman who is said to have first discovered the heart-shaped herb's powers, making him the first Black Panther who claimed Vibranium and founded Wakanda. Since his reign as Wakanda's king, the title of Black Panther was passed down for generations.

## Appearances

Okoye mentioned Bashenga when presenting Shuri as new Black Panther in Avengers Campus.
The Mark

*This page or section is a stub. You can help the Death Mark Wiki by expanding it.*

*This page or section contains heavy spoilers for* Death Mark'*s plot. Proceed with caution.*
**The Mark** (シルシ, *shirushi*) is one of the main supernatural elements in *Death Mark*. It is a curse that manifests as a red scar, described as looking similar to a dog bite. The Mark causes memory loss and leads to a decline in cognitive function as the victim gets closer to their death. It serves as a way for spirits to torment their victims before ultimately killing them. The main character's Mark serves as a way to keep track of progression in each of the game's chapters, growing more painful as the player gets closer to confronting a spirit.

People who are cursed with a Mark are called **Mark Bearers** (印人, *shirushibito*). This term is typically used to refer to the various partner characters encountered throughout the game, though it also applies to the main character. A Mark can appear on any part of the body, seemingly at random. If a spirit is purified or destroyed, the Mark Bearers cursed by that spirit will be freed and their Marks will disappear. However, it is possible to receive a Mark multiple times, as evident with Mashita. A new Mark will appear in the same location as previous Marks.

Interestingly, the main character's Mark prevents him from being killed in the event that a spirit is destroyed. This is due to the fact that none of the game's spirits gave him his Mark, and thus their lingering grudge cannot overpower his existing curse. Once the main character defeats Mary, his Mark finally disappears.

In the Normal End, the Mark reappears before the main character can seal Mary once again.

**Kaoru Hazuki** (葉月薫, *Hadzuki Kaoru*) is a character in *NG*, available as a partner.

## Biography

> "*A junior at the private girls' school, Seishin High. Friends with Ami, the protagonist's sister. She loves researching ghosts and the occult. In spite of the more reserved air around her, she's quite strange; she's bold and fears nothing. She strongly favors gothic lolita clothing.*"
> ― NG Official Site
>
>

Kaoru's mother was a former idol, and she trained her to become an idol herself at a young age. To Kaoru, being an idol was just taking over the family business. Her best friend was Yuri Takamura, who also wanted to become an idol, and through her, she met Ami Kijima in 1997. Although she learned her secret identity, Ami kept it hidden, and she supported her career.

If Hazuki is saved after the Kurobitou of Kintoki case, Akira will meet with her at his place. She brings some limited concert merch that Ami wanted. Excited to sneak out of her place to deliver them to her in person, Akira brings Ami to his place from the Black Rabbit Bar. While relaxing, Hazuki stops by to give the merchandise to Ami and wonders if Akira would like one. After telling how he sealed Kakuya, Hazuki will reaffirm her interest in the paranormal. Upon entering his bathroom, Hazuki suggests giving the bathroom mirror, which Akira refuses. Afterwards, she plays with Ami and Akira in a variety of card games only for her to win them all, claiming it's thanks to her guardian angel.

It's implied that after the events of the main game, Hazuki returns to her life as an idol and continues to pursue her interest in the occult.

## Momo Kuruse

Momo Kuruse is Kaoru Hazuki's idol persona. As an idol who's gained popularity on TV recently, she works as a solo artist. Her age is not publicly known. At the turn of the century, she debuted as an occult idol and is the main actor on a comedy show called "Scary Stories of the Classroom." Her popularity quickly rose among younger audiences, and she stars in a number of children's shows, soap operas, and movies. She occasionally works as a bikini model as well, but says it can be difficult because "some people try to take weird pictures."

In a movie called "After School Scary Rumors" she debuted as a singer, and its theme song "Wander Rabbits" became an unprecedented smash hit. Her selling points are said to be her mysterious, occult beauty created by her doll-like appearance and manner of speech. She often works closely with the idol group Love & Hero, who she previously considered her competition. Additionally, she is especially confident in her acting abilities, which she uses during spirit investigations to varied success.

## Trivia

* Her voice actor, Yuubi Midorikawa, also provides the voice for Natsumi Kijima.

## Trivia

* Kannon Soldier's name refers to the bodhisattva Kannon, also known as Guanyin. She is associated with compassion and is sometimes referred to as "the goddess of mercy" in English. Kannon is one of the most popular Buddhist figures in Japan, with numerous temples and statues dedicated to her found around the country. Kannon is also sometimes depicted with multiple arms, which the Kannon Soldier's design likely references.
* Kannon Soldier's design is also similar to an asura, another figure from Buddhist mythology. Asura are often characterized as violent and wrathful, with three faces and multiple sets of arms. Miss Zoo refers to the Kannon Soldier as "Lord Asura" multiple times throughout Chapter 4, though the connection is not made evident to the player during this time.
