Fuyukawa Kokoro

"If there's a logical explanation for something, then I'll believe it, but if there isn't one, I... will choose the most romantic option."

Voiced by: Rika Morinaga
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kokoro_6380.png

An outwardly cheerful 20-year old girl who studies psychology, more specifically mental illnesses. She wanted to travel to SPHIA to study Inubuchi Keiko, but after the plane crash stranded her in the mountain cabin, she is more concerned about keeping the other survivors alive. She frequently swaps bodies with Satoru, and as a direct consequence has to deal with his problems at SPHIA too.


  • Cool Big Sis: She performs this role for Yuni with varying success. And, fortunately, her kindness is more than reciprocated in his case.
  • Driven to Suicide: In one Bad Ending, where she feels she's responsible for Yuni and Yomogi's deaths.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Satoru and the male twin.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: She has a complex due to the lack of romantic experience, as well as, apparently, the long absence of real friends at an early age. This is one of the reasons why she extremely values the people who have become her companions in misfortune.
  • Meaningful Name: Kokoro means "heart" in Japanese. And indeed she fits The Heart archetype.
  • Mistaken for Gay: For a brief moment, Satoru contemplates whether she has "other tastes".
  • Nice Girl
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Satoru's Blue.
  • Stepford Smiler: In an extreme situation, she tries very hard to hide her tendency to despondency, mostly for the sake of Yuni.
  • The Ingenue: Kokoro has several signs of this. Basically, she is a gentle and innocent girl who is not good friends with sports and has just entered adulthood. The first experience with alcohol didn't make her happier, as well as physical exertion because of the situation in which she found herself.
  • The Heart: Her ability to resolve conflicts and heal emotional wounds can be decisive in the survival of both groups.

Yukidoh Satoru

"What's important isn't the result but the process. Just like it is with life."

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu

A 21-year old amnesiac who might have been an employee at SPHIA. He doesn't really remember due to being shoved down the clock tower and losing all but a few key memories, and ever since he's trying to find out who is the one attempting to take his life.

He swaps bodies with Kokoro at irregular intervals, and has therefore also to deal with the situation in the mountain cabin.


  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: One theory states that the original Satoru, I, became one with "Self" at the beginning of the game, after he fell off the clock tower.
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Enmity with an Object: Wristwatches. Particularly Kokoro's. He notes that he finds pocketwatches to be more gentlemanly and considers the weight of a wristwatch to be oppressive. Every single time he's in Kokoro's body, he takes it off and places it somewhere else (Usually somewhere it wouldn't be expected to be). Kokoro actually becomes convinced that he's intentionally trying to make it hard for her to find it, but there's really only evidence of that in Satoru's route the final time Satoru hides it.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Kokoro and the male twin.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Though he tends to remember a bit more than most examples.
    • To elaborate: He only remembers the facts that Kokoro knows from her route — for example, he remembers his break-up with Lin, but not their relationship.
  • Mad Scientist: His past, true self had traits of this.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Behind Enomoto and Yuni, and his body is actually the former's. It is also assumed that his mind is, in fact, not Satoru's (I), but "Self", (I, the player), and therefore only remembers those facts that the player learned about him from Kokoro's route.
  • Memory Gambit: It turns out his past self, I, is the true mastermind behind the events of the game, and took his memories with him while implanting a few in the new Satoru's mind.
  • Morality Pet: To Lin.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Kokoro's Red.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: Satoru is 100% correct when he warns Kokoro that eating the food at SPHIA will kill them. He is wrong about the food being poisoned. Rather, it is guaranteed that while neither Satoru or Kokoro is in charge of their body, the person who is in charge will self-administer a drug that causes a fatal reaction in response to tyramine, which is found in a lot of foods. Only failing to eat for the two days beforehand will allow the main characters to survive that.
  • Talking to Themself: Happens in Bad Ending #28.
  • The Smart Guy
  • Tomato in the Mirror: It turns out that the body he's inhabiting is actually Enomoto's. The Infinity Series Timeline explains that the two of them switched bodies via quantum teleportation in July 2011, but the reason is never given.

Kusuda Yuni

"I like prime numbers, because they have two factors. Not one, not three... but two..."

Voiced by: Junko Minagawa
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuni_7182.png

An 11-year old boy whom Kokoro met on the plane, and one of the survivors of the crash. Curiously enough, there's two of him: one in the mountain cabin (who continuously makes cryptic remarks about their situation), and one in SPHIA (a scared boy who nevertheless becomes friends with Hotori).


  • Cheerful Child: Zig-Zagged. He acts like this most of the time, but also acts like a Creepy Child sometimes.
  • Death of a Child: In one bad ending, Yomogi descends into madness and after Yuni doesn't listen to one of his commands, he grabs Yuni by the throat and breaks his neck. In another bad ending, he freezes to death and Kokoro is so filled with remorse that she lays down in the snow and intentionally dies of exposure. And in another, he dies of hypothermia and she slits her throat as an act of atonement.
  • Improbable Infant Survival: Yuni's obviously not an infant, but he usually survives all the bad endings that result in Kokoro or Satoru being killed.
  • Missing Mom: Late in Satoru's route, he says that his mother is no longer around, so he considers Utsumi to be a mother figure.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: The Yuni at the cabin is from the future, and already knows everything that's going to happen.
  • Precocious Crush: A couple of different times, he tries to flirt with Kokoro. Although a lot of these are just played off as jokes, during one of Kokoro's Bad Endings, he does a serious Dying Declaration of Love to her.
  • Time Travel: He uses the transfers to switch his 2011 and 2012 selves. The one in SPHIA is the one who recently experienced the plane crash, while the one in the cabin is from 2012, a year in the future who used the exchange mechanism to ensure the continued survival of Kokoro and the others.
  • Took a Level in Badass: His 2011 self is a scared kid who has no clue what's going on and often lashes out at Kokoro/Satoru. In between the 2011 and 2012 incident, he joins up with Satoru and Enomoto, and after learning everything there is to know about the incident, he matures greatly.
  • Zen Survivor: His real '12 self shows traits of this. He's annoyingly reserved with what he reveals to Satoru, but that's partly justified by the fact that Satoru being the one behind everything all along.

Mayuzumi Lin

"Isn't a person's heart something that easily changes? No flame keeps burning forever."

Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mayuzumi_2822.png

A 23-year old rich woman who survived the plane crash, as well as Satoru's former girlfriend. Is a court-appointed lawyer who occasionally quotes parts of the Japanese constitution to support her self-centered opinions.


  • Above Good and Evil: A public person who is rapidly losing the outward veneer of civility and humanity far from her home with her exorbitant infantilism caused by parental overprotection in the past.
  • It's All About Me: An antisocial, apparently spoiled and materialistic person who is used to taking and not thanking. If she psychologically feels bad, she tries not to let anyone around feel better.In one of the bad endings, she reveals that she was willing to do anything it takes to survive long enough to see Satoru again, including metaphorically throwing everyone else under the bus, and everyone else can think badly of her if they want as long as she survives this ordeal and reunites with Satoru.
  • Arranged Marriage: Has been set up for one by her family, which is the reason she had to break up with Satoru. There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene where she reveals that she blames herself for this; she thinks that she took the "easy way out" by not going against her parents.
  • Asshole Victim: In Bad End #8.
  • Ax-Crazy: In three different Bad Ends.
  • Dirty Coward: Her feminine fragility and fear of dying is clear to everyone. Her desire to morally destroy her neighbors in misfortune because of fear, as well as to survive at any cost, including the cost of bringing an innocent young child to death, is no longer so clear to those who want to remain human.
  • Emotional Regression: She portrays a strong and independent woman, but with the onset of difficulties, it is revealed that her mental defensiveness is stuck at the level of a 6-year-old child due to growing up in hothouse conditions. Due to her instability, Kokoro and Satoru should help Yomogi keep her in balance if they want to prevent the tragedy.
  • Ice Queen: Suiting her archetype as the "Persona," Lin puts up a front to everyone of being harsh and hyper-critical of everyone and everything. Due to the nature of the plot and her reaction to it - trying to throw everyone else under the bus in order to make sure that she survives - there are only a few moments where the facade falls and her more gentle and fragile traits show.
  • Jerkass
  • Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: She is Satoru's former girlfriend.
  • Rescue Sex: When Kokoro calls her out on being ungrateful towards Yomogi, she snidely remarks that she is grateful, and that she'll show her gratitude by letting him have sex with her once if they get out of the whole ordeal in one piece. This sounds extremely painful in relation to the group, since Yomogi really loves his wife. This also becomes one of the rare Kokoro's berserk buttons.
  • Rich Bitch
  • The Load: Half of the problems that the survivors of the HAL18 crash have to deal with are instigated by Mayuzumi, and most of the other half are exacerbated by her. There is only one ending where the rest of the party tries to get rid of her, though, and it's not a good ending.
  • The Sociopath: Being a lawyer, she is well aware of the letter of the law, but when she gets into an extreme situation, she shows herself ready for crimes and neglect of any life except her own. Since she grew up in a wealthy family, she easily uses the aura of untouchability and arbitrarily insults others, including those who cared about her, with the exception of her lover, whom she regretted breaking up with.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Downplayed. While the other characters hates and even tries to get rid of her, Satoru who doesn't dislike her.
  • Tsundere: Dere to Satoru, tsun to everyone else in the world.
  • Younger Than They Look: At the first meeting with Mayuzumi, Kokoro mistakenly assumes that she is about 30. The reason is the strict makeup, the lack of innocence and the exorbitant arrogance of a young lawyer.

Yomogi Seiji

"If there is meaning to human life, then there must be some sort of meaning to death as well. That's what I'd like to think."

Voiced by: Masashi Ebara
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yomogi_5774.png

A 35-year old mountaineer and one of the survivors of the plane crash. It's through his expertise that the others could survive on the mountain.


  • Ax-Crazy: If he is unable to stand Mayuzumi's destructive acts his breakdown and behavior in Bad End #8 become truly terrifying.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: This is a mentally strong, physically trained and kind-hearted man who does everything for the survival of others, despite his own terrible psychological experience. People who are not as crazy as Mayuzumi understand perfectly that you should not have fun, while inventively provoking this person to rage and breakdown.
    • According to the Drama CD in his early twenties Yomogi protected Utsumi from a rapist who pursued her, and with his bare hands he resisted him sufficiently, having already received a knife wound.
  • Broken Bird: His phlegmatically cheerful disposition is his own pain suppressor. He hopes to save more lives, thereby encouraging himself and quietly struggling with guilt for carelessness in the past. Not long ago he was an energetic young family man whose hope for the happy maturation of his foster son was shattered by a terrible bloody tragedy in the hospital.
  • Cigarette of Anxiety: It is not known for certain how long he has been a smoker, but his habit of smoking in emotionally difficult moments clearly indicates that he sees this as a way to calm his nerves.
  • It's All My Fault: Blames himself for his son Junichi's death, both for buying the bicycle that got him sent to the Awazumi hospital and for not staying the night with Junichi.
  • Luke Iam Your Father: He's Utsumi's husband and the foster father of one of the kids that Keiko murdered.
  • Madness Mantra: "I won't let anyone die any more." in Bad Ending #8.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Given the circumstances, he's remarkably understanding of Kokoro's strange behavior that she writes off as a "split personality." Also, he's very knowledgeable about what to do to survive in the cabin, is a huge moderating influence on Lin's bitchiness, and provides stability to the much younger Kokoro and Yuni. The only exception is in Bad Ending #8, where he snaps and goes crazy, deliberately letting Lin freeze to death in the basement, breaking Yuni's neck, and behaving very creepily to Kokoro.
  • Sadistic Choice: Discussed hypothetically. In one scene, Kokoro asks him which situation he'd prefer to be in: his current situation, where he's trapped in a freezing cabin on a mountain and is running out of food and water, but he's guaranteed to survive at least long enough for the food and water to run out completely...or a situation where he has plenty of food and water and it's warm but a crazed murderer is after him. Yomogi surprises Kokoro by answering that he'd rather have the murderer. Why? Yomogi's reasoning is that as long as he's not too hungry or thirsty or cold to think clearly, he could theoretically change the situation by dealing with the murderer somehow, but he can't significantly alter the situation he's actually in.
  • Team Dad
  • The Stoic: His tragic family circumstances and the fact that he was the first to witness many terrible deaths after surviving a plane crash didn't prevent him from maintaining mental stability enough to independently find and save two surviving young women from freezing in a snowstorm, as well as carry them to an emergency hut that was not too close to the accident site. For at least a week (which is surprisingly long according to reporters), he takes care of the group, trying to stabilize their mental state and patiently enduring sociopathic behavior, threats and insults from Mayuzumi.The endurance he shows is close to the limit of human capabilities, and abusing the patience of such a person is one of the craziest tactics... which Mayuzumi, unfortunately, actively uses. Without Kokoro's and Satoru's wise support, against the background of hunger, cold, Mayuzumi's psychosis and a premonition of imminent death, he risks breaking down the creepiest way.
  • You Are Not Alone: According to his archetype of the Wise Old Man, he keenly feels the danger of any conflicts in an extreme situation and participates in maintaining the most friendly atmosphere, taking care of the survivors physically and mentally. However, Mayuzumi's infantilism is so extreme that Yomogi will need the player's help. After all, 35 years is not too old for the duties of a wise elder.

Utsumi Kali

"It's alright... no matter what happens, I'll definitely protect you."
Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa

A 27-year old woman who works as a therapist in SPHIA. and is responsible for the well-being of the people there.


  • But Not Too Foreign: Half-Indian, half-Japanese.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: As a teenager in her homeland, she went through things she doesn't want to talk about until the moment she entered into an early and surprisingly happy marriage with Yomogi due to her pregnancy.
  • It's Personal: Came to SPHIA to kill Keiko in revenge for her son's death.
  • Meaningful Name: "Kali" is known as the Hindu goddess of time holding life and death and the actions of a young woman eloquently reflect both of these hypostases.
  • Murder-Suicide: In both of the Bad Ends following her succeeding in her plan to kill Keiko.
  • Rescue Romance: Her relationship with Yomogi is the result of this, as he saved her life when he found her on a trip to Nepal.
  • Revenge: She's Yogomi's wife and the mother of one of Keiko's victims and came to SPHIA to kill Keiko and avenge her son.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge/Unstoppable Rage: She flips and tries to kill Hotori towards the end of Satoru's route. In an associated Bad End, she kills both Satoru, Hotori, and herself (and Kokoro, indirectly).
  • Stepford Smiler: Outwardly a very considerate and motherly character. Secretly stewing with a desire for vengeance against the person who killed her son.
  • Team Mom
  • Teen Pregnancy: She gave birth to Junichi when she was 14. The Drama CD makes it clear, however, that this was an accident, and Yomogi immediately took responsibility.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko

Suzukage Hotori/Inubushi Keiko

"...."

Voiced by: Akane Tomonaga
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hotori_5711.png

A 19-year old girl who has killed 12 people in a hospital in 2009. She has been disagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, so she got acquitted and sent to SPHIA for treatment. Her personality has since then more or less settled on that of Hotori Suzukage, a shy, mute, and generally harmless girl who befriends Yuni.


    Spoiler Characters (unmarked spoilers

Enomoto Naoya

Voiced by: Shunsaku Nishigaki
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eonomoto_421.png

A mysterious man hiding in the control room beneath SPHIA, and the one helping Satoru in advancing his plan. He is also the one inhabiting Satoru's real body, and vice-versa.

Once Satoru finds the secret room, Enomoto explains the details of the body-swap mechanism (which actually isn't), and attempts to kill Satoru after he flips out as a consequence. He is shortly thereafter murdered by the male twin in Satoru's (actually Enomoto's) body.


  • Affably Evil: His manner makes clear that he doesn't dislike you or have strong contempt for you. You are a living experiment for him, and he will decide for himself at what point the experience can be considered beneficial or unsuccessful. The realization of this will not make you feel better.
  • Ambushing Enemy: Enomoto leaves Satoru alive as long as he considers him sufficiently capable of learning and useful to himself. If Satoru behaves too strangely, Enomoto will not hesitate to try to kill his body with a knife from the shadows. This is one of the reasons why Kokoro in Satoru's body should not do things that are not typical of girls, like climbing into a window.
  • Ax-Crazy: Both of the times that he tries to kill Satoru (in SPHIA and in Apoptosis), he seems to relish the idea way too much for it to be considered just part of the job for him.
  • Continuity Nod: He is working for Leiblich Pharmaceuticals.
  • The Man Behind the Curtain
  • Mr. Exposition: He literally shows up out of nowhere in Satoru's route to explain how the transfer phenomenon works, then is killed off almost immediately afterwards by the twins.
  • Nothing Personal: Enomoto views Satoru with the gentle curiosity of a scientist and will gladly share any knowledge with him, as long as he believes that it will not threaten the big plan. Otherwise, he does not hesitate to take out a knife and use the video surveillance rooms to find and kill his "creation". And apparently he sees this as a pleasant opportunity to warm up after sitting at the monitors for a long time.
  • Smug Snake: Treats Satoru with a very condescending attitude, but when it comes down to it, he was merely "original" Satoru's pawn.
  • The Nondescript: He abandoned his original bright appearance in favor of the body of an inconspicuous Japanese guy for more effective shadow work.
  • Tomato in the Mirror: The body he's in is actually Satoru's, and vice-versa.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Flies into rage when Satoru attempts to destroy the quantum teleportation equipment.

Suzukage Hotori

Voiced by: Akane Tomonaga

A 19-year old girl and temporary survivor of the plane crash. Shortly before her body freezes to death, she swaps bodies with Keiko, and is thereafter the "Hotori" whom Kokoro meets. She lost the ability to speak as a result of the trauma.


  • Death by Origin Story: Sort of. She stays alive for a while in Keiko's (and the female fetus') body, but in the end she's dead for good.
  • A Fate Worse Than Death: It's implied that she didn't die immediately in the snowstorm. She was still conscious during the week.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Keiko and the female twin.
  • The Ghost: She is never seen, except for one scene in each route.
  • Heroic BSoD: Briefly, after finding herself with a bloody knife over Enomoto's body.
  • Shrinking Violet: According to the TIPS.
  • The Voiceless: Caused by living through the plane crash. She apparently gets better by the end of the game, but loses speech again after surviving the avalanche.
  • Tomato in the Mirror: Breaks down upon seeing her reflection (in Keiko's body), but is unable to express her situation to the rest of SPHIA due to the trauma of the crash.

Yukidoh Sayaka

Voiced by: Akane Tomonaga

Satoru's sister who is only seen once (twice?), at the beginning of the respective routes.


Yomogi twins

Yomogi's and Utsumi's twin children, who were born between the two incidents. They are the respective third personalities in Kokoro's, Satoru's, Keiko's and Hotori's transfer phenomenons and responsible for most of the havoc wrought in both SPHIA and the cabin.


  • Ambiguous Innocence: While their actions are very questionable, they literally know nothing, and therefore aren't aware of what they're doing is wrong.
  • Death of a Child: The last time we see them, Inubushi is holding the girl on the edge of a cliff with a crazed look on her face. However, as we never see what happens next, we don't know whether this is played straight or subverted.
  • Fetus Terrible: Subverted too. As mentioned before, they aren't aware of what they're doing or that it's wrong, and are just acting like babies would if they had adult bodies.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: The male twins is the "third personality" in Kokoro and Satoru's exchanges; although only Satoru becomes aware of it very late into his route. The female twin is the same for Hotori and Keiko.
  • Half-Identical Twins: To the point that even though Utsumi has separate photographs of them, Satoru can't tell them apart and assumes it's just one baby at first.
  • Spanner in the Works: To Enomoto.
  • The Unintelligible: While we never hear them "speak", the accounts from the others seem to indicate that when they go through their colic, they scream out unintelligibly (justified, as they don't know how to speak).

"Self"

  • A God Is You: Very similar to Blickwinkel in this regard.
  • Reality Warper: When "it" sees Sayaka in Satoru's flashback and confuses her for Keiko, Sayaka "dies" and becomes Keiko. It's implied that he warped Satoru's existence and history based on what it knew about him.
  • Stable Time Loop: Is caught in one, due to Satoru's plan.
