### *Death Mark*

Ai arrives at Kujou Mansion seeking advice from Saya Kujou. Unlike the other Mark Bearers, however, she appears to have some knowledge on the Mark. She reveals that the famous fortune-teller Towako Yasuoka informed her of the Mark's curse and told her to seek Saya Kujou out. Ai mentions that she and Yasuoka had filmed a TV special at K Miyamachi road, likely receiving their Marks from a mysterious woman in the process. Ai and Yashiki travel to K Miyamachi and discover what appears to be an underground shelter, but are soon turned away by a homeless man before they can investigate further.

They meet up with Yasuoka and return to Kujou Mansion, only to find Mary shattered and the black rabbit lying dead on the floor. The three investigate the mansion's final locked room, before making the decision to investigate H Elementary once more.

In the epilogue, Ai sends Yashiki a ticket to a Love & Hero concert like she promised she would, though he expresses his hesitance at actually attending.

In the DLC Chapter, she had planned to join Yashiki and the former Mark Bearers in their investigation, but was unable to as she was caught sneaking out by her manager. She calls Yashiki and apologizes, stating she'll "regret it for the rest of her life."

### *NG*

Ai is directly mentioned by a host on TV at the Black Rabbit bar discussing her debut solo single that recently hit a million in sales. Akira comments that her pigtails make her stand out in the idol group Love & Hero.

## Personality

Energetic and peppy, Ai is a person who's constantly full of energy. As Yashiki notes, she usually has an over-exaggerated way of speaking, though she usually means well in both her words and actions.

Ai has also been described to be a bit airheaded, most likely due to her personality.

## Initial Concept

> "*She was originally a local idol from H City who dreamed of becoming a Cat's Eye member, but once we decided the game was set in the 90s instead of decades earlier, we had to change that. Maybe we didn't change it enough.*"

## Trivia

* In *The Seven Mysteries of Kujou Mansion* voice drama, she lists Yashiki's good points as "making good coffee, being able to put all kinds of stinky things in his bag, and being a great ventriloquist." It is unclear whether or not she actually believes Mary is a puppet. This extra voice drama is considered separate from the main game, and is thus not considered canon.
* CAT'S EYE (キャッツ♥アイ), which is referenced in her Initial Concept notes, is a manga about a group of all-female art thieves.
