Toshiko Isobe

**Toshiko Isobe** was the younger sister of Hisayo Isobe before both girls were murdered by their mother in the *Wonderland* series. It is suspected that both sisters might be behind the recent deaths and disappearances in Ikebukuro.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

In life, she had short black pigtails and a chubby face. She looks the same only paler. She wears a short red dress over a white frilly t-shirt, little white socks, and little red shoes. She also drags around a brown teddy bear.

## Back Story

Toshiko lived with her mother, Asuka, father, Takumi, and older sister in Kinko Sekai Apartments. She grew up close to her older sister. Hisayo even told the little girl about her crush on her homeroom teacher, Abe-sensei. One day, Kitano came to visit Toshiko and Hisayo to see their father. Despite the father not being home, he stayed with the girls. Kitano performed a little magic trick for Toshiko. He then asks the girls about if they had heard of the Land of the Dead. He descends into rambling that the girls don't understand. Kitano laughs it off and drops the whole subject.

Toshiko was in the living room drawing pictures the night her sister was murdered. She herself is labeled as missing by the police department.
