History

Hime was trained by her grandmother Machi Yarizakura in the ways of combat and how to act as mayor. At some point in time Hime was given a pair of good luck charms by her grandmother.

As a child, Hime had her youkai powers sealed away by Yae resulting in a large scar across the front of her neck. This upset Hime much and caused her to wonder about town crying. Akina, seeing Hime upset decided to knit a scarf for her so that she could hide her scar. Upon giving the scarf to Hime, Akina realized he had made it too long insisted on remaking it, but Hime insisted on keeping it it the way it is. Hime would grow to cherish the scarf as a gift from Akina and wear it where ever she went.[1]

When Juli first arrived in Sakurashinmachi, Machi introduced her to Hime as older sister. Since then Juli has taken care of Hime, acting as her big sister.[2]

Hime and Juli meet the Kishi siblings

At some point in time Hime travelled with Juli to Okayama via train to find and help Kyosuke and Touka Kishi. Hime chased the siblings through the forest trying to tell them she means no harm. Kyosuke refused to listen and continued to run through the forest dragging his sister by the hand. Hime saw this hurting Touka and was able to catch Kyosuke and slap him. Hime chastised Kyosuke for doing more harm to his sister instead of protecting her and tells Kyosuke that in order to learn to protect others is to be protected by others. Hime offers the siblings a chance to live in Sakurashinmachi where they will be protected.[3]

When Hime invited Touka and Kyosuke to live at her residence with her grandmother, Akina came to greet them and shook Touka's hand. Hime saw this and grabbed Akina's other hand in jealousy greeting him despite being already acquainted.[4]

After her grandmother was tuned, Hime became mayor at the age of nine and had Yae seal the memories of the townspeople about her being a youkai, so that she could view situations from both human and youkai perspectives.

While playing with her friends outside, Hime watched Kotoha reading by herself in the office. After Kotoha fell Hime told Makiharu that she would become friends with her and wanted to help her. Kotoha was exorcised by Makiharu with the help of Jinroku Yotsuya and Usuzumi Iyo though the aftermath of the battle would cause Touka to resent Kotoha for injuring Kyosuke. Upset at being unable to befriend Kotoha without upsetting Touka, Kyosuke convinced Touka that Kotoha was not to blame for what happened. Ao invited Kotoha to play with them and they became friends.[5]

Two years ago Yuhi and Mariabell brought Rin Azuma to Hime for Hime to help her move into town.Though initially reserved, Rin eventually opened up to Hime with the help of her friends and arranged a home for her.[6] [7]

Near their current age, Kyosuke discussed with Hime about being her mayoral assistant. Hime told Kyosuke that she does not need an assistant and recommended that he go to college. Kyosuke refused and insisted on becoming her assistant.[3]

After having a discussion and food Hime, Akina, Kotoha and Ao head off to deal with the criminal upon seeing him on tv assaulting Juli. The group are able to safely defeat Kōsuke and head home.[8]

Hime teaches a group of preschoolers how to sing the Town song. Hime explains to her friends that she had a preschool built and plans to have the children make a cd of the town song but is having trouble with a child named Junta who is too depressed to participate. Due to being low on staff, Hime has Ao, Kyosuke, Akina and Rin look after the children the next day. The next day Hime discusses Junta's troubles and Hime suggest Ao use her mind reading powers to solve them.[9] Ao refuses and the she and Hime get into and argument resulting in Ao running off. Later Ao returns to the office having figured out the source of Junta's troubles. Hime is able to convince Junta's father's boss to cancel his job transfer, allowing Junta to see his father again. Akina, Kyosuke, Kotoha and Hime go to see Ao and Hime apologizes to Ao.[10]

Hime receives a dog named stray Silver from Shidou Mizuki and takes it into her care. Seeing the dog to be upset, Hime gives it part of a pair of amulets, which belonged to her grandmother. Hime gives Silver Machi's set while on its collar while she wear hears as a necklace. A month later, Hime still caring for Silver, brings it into the office one day. Silver immediately begins to cause a disturbance. Akina tells Hime to stop spoiling the dog buy Hime refuses.

Later a bolt of lighting is heard prompting Hime, Akina and Ao and Kotoha to rush out to check on the situation. The group is attacked by Silver who has gained an unatural increase in speed and power. Hime is able to catch Silver using her lacrosse stick, but Silver falls, transforming it into a large beast. As Silver and Hime clash, Silver is reminded of the when Hime gave it one of her grandmother’s luck amulets as part of a set, which she placed on Silver collar and the other part on her own necklace. Upon seeing Hime’s charm on her necklace, Silver calms down allowing Hime the opportunity to gain the upper hand. Silver is defeated and tuned completely by Akina. Later Hime rewards Akina, Ao and Kotoha with food for helping out during the incident. Hime tells the group if she were to ever fall, to kill her her without hesitation. The two charms Hime have now been attached to her lacrosse stick along side a miniature dog figure.[11]

Hime and Kyosuke spar when Ao and Kotoha pass them by. Having just defeated Kyosuke, Hime asks Kotoha to spar with her instead. As Kotoha and Hime continue spar, Hime accidentally destroys Kotoha’s ticket to Germany. Angered, Kotoha begins to fight more seriously, summoning a German Army-Made Flak 36 88mm Cannon. She fires a shot destroying a miniature elephant shaped slide in the background. Ao and Akina stop Kotoha from doing anymore damage as children are in the area. Kotoha regains her senses and is berated by Akina before she apologizes to the children. Kotoha laments her lost trip to Germany which she would have used to visit Koblenz Museum of Military Technology. Hime mentions a karaoke tournament later that night with the first prize being a trip to Germany. Kotoha’s delight is short lived as she soon realized she had lost her voice from the duel.[12]

Making Progress

Mayor Meeting

Hime makes as commotion about being hungry, prompting Akina telling Kyosuke to get some food for her, to which Kyosuke replies she had already ate two hours ago. Akina yells at Hime, Kotoha and Ao for slacking off and tells them they will be helping him clean the office the next day. Kyosuke tells Akina that, Hime has a business trip to the ward conference and will be unable to come. Kotoha tells Akina that she was able to re-issue her ticket to Germany and would be leaving, and Ao responds saying she has the day off, leaving Akina responsible for cleaning.[13] At the ward meeting, Mariabell reads out loud a message from the Ward mayor Yuhi Shinatsuhiko as to why he is unable to attend. Kazuyoshi Morino begins to complain, which Hime responds by telling him to be quiet. Morino continues to complain about the ward mayors behaviour, the fact that Hime being a high school girl is mayor, and that a nine year old was attempting to run against him as mayor as well. Hime tells Morino that he will definitely lose the election to the nine year old.[14]

Thorny Path

Pool Party

At the park, Akina makes speech for the office party, but notes the large number of guest at the party. Mina offers the group a beverage in a glass bottle. The group take some believing to be only water but she reveals it is actual sake containing alcohol. The group spit out the drink and Mina yells at them for wasting the drink. Hime, Kotoha, Ao and Kyosuke begin to act intoxicated. Hime starts consuming a large amount of eggs while crying while Kyosuke passes out alongside Akina. Kotoha asks Hime about her status with Akina, though Hime simply continues eating eggs in large amounts. Kotoha questions Hime's outfit asking why she is not wearing her summer clothes. Hime drunkenly explains that she just washed all her summer clothes. Kotoha states she wants to see Hime in Juli's nurse outfit, and how she would like one for herself as well. Juli lends Hime her nurse outfit, while Mariabell provides one for Kotoha. In excitement Kotoha uses her Kotodama to create a microphone and begins to sing. After the party ends, Hime is passed out along with Kotoha and Ao.[15]

Kohime's Message

At Hime’s residence, Kyosuke lectures Hime her of her predecessor's instructions only to realize Hime is sleeping. Hime wakes up and blames Kyosuke for making her fall asleep. As Hime practices, she performs various combat moves up to her final move in which she spins put of control, becoming dizzy and falling to the ground. Kyosuke suggest that move was incorrect, but Hime insists otherwise. Hime glances over to a spear displayed on the wall, which she believes to be the dragon spear, which has been inherited from previous generations as proof of being mayor. As Hime goes to grab it, Kyosuke stops her, stating it is only to be used in emergencies. Hime remembers what her grandmother had taught her in the past and contemplates if her grandmother was referring to the dragon spear when she said be beloved by the dragon. As Kyosuke begins to speak he is interrupted by an arrow with a paper message attached, shot from outside by a person from a tree, the arrow flying right by Kyosuke’s face. Hime reads the message and tells Kyosuke to prepare. Hime and Kyosuke arrive at the office where Akina and Kotoha comment on Hime’s summer uniform. Akina mention Hime’s scarf asking would it not be better to take it due to the heat. Hime does not respond, but protectively grabs her scarf instead, leaving Akina confused. Hime shows them the message she received which Akina and Kotoha recognize the sender being Kohime Sakurano, who bursts through the door hitting Kyosuke on the way in. Kohime greets everyone and Hime explains that Kohime is running for mayor in the neighbouring town. Kohime tells them that she is nine, being the same age as Hime when she became mayor, and asks Hime to train her which Hime accepts. Kohime sits on Hime’s shoulders as the two leave to patrol.[16]

Hime and Kohime at Jinroku's Shop

As Hime and Kohime walk around town, Kohime is recognized by several people who being giving food to the pair, throwing the food directly into their mouths and cheer her to do her best just as her predecessor did. As the two continue walking, Kohime begins looking through a ceramic store at a bowl. Hime recognizes the store as Jinroku Yotsuya’s ceramic store, and tells Kohime they’re leaving. Jinroku comes out from the store then pulls a switch which activates a large crane that picks up Kohime. Jinroku then begins yelling at the two telling the that window shopping is not allowed and to leave immediately. As Hime and Jinroku yell at each other, Jinroku is hit on the head with a paper fan by his wife, Kiku Yotsuya who catches Kohime from the crane. Kiku berates Jinroku for picking on children, and Jinroku warns them not to break any of his art, mentioning the bowl Kohime had seen previously is not for sale. As Hime goes to get a closer look at the bowl, Jinroku activates another device from his portable switch, launching a boxing glove near Hime. Jinroku tells Hime that it is not for ill-mannered people to touch and begins to criticize Hime’s behaviour as mayor. Jinroku continues, stating Hime is nothing like her grandmother and that he will not accept her as mayor. Kiku hits Jinroku on the head again with her fan, and tells Jinroku to go back inside. Hime is saddened, and contemplates how all the towns people continually mention the previous generation when evaluating her as mayor. Kohime hops back onto Hime’s shoulders and tells her to continue with their patrols.[16]

Kohime Party

At Hime's residence, Kohime makes a speech to thank everyone for throwing her a welcome party and says she will do her best in the upcoming election while the group reenact the drunk mess at the previous party. Once everyone is asleep Akina sits on the porch outside with Ao asleep on his lap. Hime asks Akina if he is ok, and Akina apologizes for making a mess, to which Hime replies it being ok since Kohime was their guest. Hime tells Akina of how Kohime reminds her of when she first became mayor and wonders if she is doing so properly. Akina assures Himes that he and everyone else enjoy living in the town. Hime begins to cheer up, stating there are still a lot of things for her to do and that the town will be a good place to live in a year or two. The phrase a year or two cause Akina’s face to become serious. Hime inquires what it is about, and Akina tells her about the blooming of the Nanagou. This surprises Hime causing her to wake up the others. Hime questions why this is happening. Akina explains the origin of the Nanagou which he claims were brought about by when Enyou Hiizumi was tuned by Oushyuu Hiizumi in order to calculate accurate coordinates of the other world, and that the Nanagou were sent back as a result. Hime continues questioning Akina asking what is going to happen when they bloom. Kyosuke explains the two world will become one causing the youkai from the other world to overflow into theirs. Kotoha elaborates stating this could cause adverse effects on the living youkai in their dimensions as a result of the two dimension growing in density. Hime is shocked, and ask why she was the only one who did not know. Akina replies stating it was because she is not a youkai, and how he thought he should tell all the youkai residents first. Hime counteracts Akina argument stating as the mayor she should know. Akina replies telling her that he did not want to give her additional problems to worry over.[17]

Hime affected anti-youkai barrier

The door bell rings, prompting Ao and Touka to go respond to it. Hime, Akina and Kyosuke arrive to see a large lizard creature attacking them. Kyosuke tells Hime that the use of the “dragon spear” is permitted in such a situation. The creature thrashes through the building as Hime grabs her spear form the wall. Hime attacks the creature, but as she enters the final stage of her attack, she spins out of control and becomes disorientated. Morino, Eiji Shinozuka, and the tall old man enter the broken building, with Eiji carrying Kohime. The old man remarks how Hime has not yet mastered the dragon's spear activates and “Anti-Youkai Barrier” causing Hime, Touka, Ao and Kyosuke to fall to the ground. The man explains the how the device works as Akina and Kotoha turn to see Hime reacting to the device and are shocked at the realization that Hime is a youkai as well.[17] Hime struggles to get up, telling them she will explain later and grabs hers spear and launches an attack at the creature. The creature launches an attack at Hime which she blocks with her spear, breaking it in the process. Hime is sent crashing through a wall to the outside and is caught by Kiku. Hime tells them to get away from the area. The creature launches another attack behind Jinroku, which Hime blocks. Hime blocks another attack from the creature before being sent crashing through a wall. The creature approaches Hime but is blocked by a sign created by Kotoha. Akina and Kotoha rush to Hime and help her get up. The old man signals to the creature to stop attacking. Hime demands that they return Kohime, which the old man offers two conditions for her return. The conditions being that Kohime withdraw from the election, and the mayorship of Sakurashinmachi be given over to him. Him, Morino and Eiji leave with Kohime, stating they will have until tonight to respond, and that they will be waiting at Chuuou Street. Yae arrives from the rooftops as Akina asks Hime why she had kept it a secret she was a youkai. Yae draws her sword “Spring Swiftness” vertically into the air weakening the barrier and returning the the memories of the townspeople which she sealed six years ago. Akina regains his memories as the group gather around Hime. Hime tells Akina that he always tried to do everything by himself, and the she would too because she loved that about him. She then begins to break down into tears, saying she cannot do it by herself this time, pleading Akina to save Kohime and the town. Juli arrives wrapping Hime up in bandages and tossing her onto a stretcher into the back of an ambulance. Juli tells them that she will take care of Hime and that they do what they need to.[1]

Hime's gifts

Juli feeds Hime onigiris as she sleeps and cries simultaneously. Hime wakes up in the hospital bed, recalling the words of her grandmother. Juli tells Hime she should stay in bed and tells her that the citizens have been evacuated and offers her some milk. Hime asks what Juli what she should do and wonders if she should stop being mayor, believing she had caused trouble for everyone and broke the dragon spear. Hime then notices a Hidagyu doll on her bed and notices a large assortment of various objects beside her bed, including a tape recording of the town song from Junta. Juli explains they are gifts from the townspeople, who all came to visit before they evacuated and that they love Hime. Hime rubs her eyes and begins to leave to protect the town, but is stopped by Juli. Juli tells Hime to wait at least one more hour and tells leave the situation to Akina and the others. Hime conforms and retreats beneath her bed sheets.[18]

Hime unlock Dragon Spear

After Juli falls asleep, Hime escapes to help in the battle. As Eiji to finish off Akina, Hime arrives playing music from the rooftops. Akina tells Hime that she is too injured to which Hime responds saying she got better. Morino yells at Hime to not get involved and to shut off the music. Hime shuts of the music playing from a radio and jumps down from the roof landing on her back. Hime notices Kyosuke who is injured and unconscious and gets up and states that she will teach them some manners. She picks up a stop sign laying on the floor and rushes to attack, breaking EIji's guard. As Hime prepares another attack, she is stopped by the large creature which grabs the sign from behind. The creature attacks her launching her into a building but is caught by Akina who reduce the impact. The creature launches another attack at Akina and Hime but stopped by Kyosuke who blocks it with one hand and proceeds to single handedly lift the creature and crash it into the ground.[3] Kyosuke pulls out a napkin from his chest-pocket, giving it to Hime and another to Akina as well. He then pulls out an onigiri, handing it to Hime to eat and tells Hime to straighten up. The old man pulls out a container containing several lizards and transforms them. Hime and Kyosuke proceed to take care of the new enemies. Kyosuke tells Akina to stay back and that he has overused his powers enough. Akina tells the two he feels useless. Hime tells Akina that he is better suited to cooking and cleaning and the food he cooks is delicious. Akina grabs Hime’s scarf to inspect and tells Hime that once the problem is over that he will fix and clean the scarf for her. Kyosuke and Hime defeat the current set of enemies, but the old man pulls creates more. Hime notices Jinroku on the roof using his device. A large crane appears and hits knocks enlarged lizards. Kiku, Jinroku and Akina are on the roof as Jinroku gloats about his device. Hime asks why they had not evacuated and Jinroku replies saying he has no choice but to protect himself. The creatures attack the shop, only to have Hime block all of their attacks. Jinoroku ask why Hime is going to such lengths to protect the shop to which she replies it the mayor’s duty to protect the town. Jinroku notices Himes scarf is taking damage and ask is it not something she treasure. Hime tells Jinroku she prioritizes the town before her scarf but then begins to cry. Jinroku then pushes a button on his device, causing his shop to self destruct. Jinroku tells Hime because she had their memories sealed he had forgotten something important left in his care. Hime begins to feel a surge of power as a large crack crossing the ruins of the store begins to emanate light. Jinroku tells Hime that this is the power of the earth that flows underground known as the earth pulse or Dragon Pulse and that it was left in his care by Hime’s grandmother. From the light, Hime manifests a spear made of energy, the real Dragon Spear. Hime begins to attack the large creature, and performs the final stage of her attack successfully, defeating the rest of the creatures.[19]

Hostage Kohime

The old man orders Eiji and Morino to bring out Kohime. The old man transforms his last lizard into which then begins to attack Hime. Hime attacks the but is intercepted by Eiji. Eiji is caught off-guard by Kyosuke who grabs Eiji's face and pushes him away. While the old man is distracted Akina attempts to take Kohime from his grasps but the old man vanishes and reappear on the roof. Hime notices that the old man's movement was not high speed travel nor was it teleportation but is unable to determine what it is. The old begins to dangle Kohime over the mouth of the lizard. Morino then begins to yell stating this was not the deal and that the child would be returned safely to which the man replies the plans changed and tells Morino that he will not get re-elected otherwise. Hime begins to chastise Morino for use a child as a shield to protect his position and state she hate him, which Morino is unable to respond and begins to walk up the staircase of the building. The old man drops Kohime but is caught by Morino who uses his back and legs to prevent the lizard from shutting its mouth on them. Morino states he would gladly hand mayorship over to a more suitable individual but Kohime is still too and that in order to learn to protect they must be protected, and states he will protect Kohime. Hime recognizes Morino’s words as her grandmother's teachings. As Morino begins to weaken against the monster, Eiji grabs Morino and saves him from falling, tossing him and Kohime away but is swallowed himself. Akina catches Kohime while Kyosuke catches Morino. Morino then calls out to Eiji and begs Hime to rescue him when he does not respond. Hime contemplates how she will go about rescuing Eiji but is interrupted when Kotoha appears from the sky delivering a kick to the creature, knocking it unconscious. Kotoha is able to rescue Eiji from the creature which is then tuned by Akina.[20]

Group meet Enjin

The old man taunts Akina about overusing his power while referring to him in his full name. Hime questions how the man aware of such. Ao wakes up in the back of the police vehicle and tells the group that she is unable to read the man's mind. The man removes his disguise revealing the body of Gin Nanami. Ao reads his mind she finds it is a completely different person. Akina explains that the power of falling can only be done with the Hiizumi Clan’s power. The man puts on a pair of glasses and reveals himself to be Enjin Hiizumi a descendant of Enyou Hiizumi.[20] Hime is confused about the situation believing Gin to have left on a journey. Akina explains that he, his grandfather and Gin were working to stop the fusion of the two dimensions and that Gin wanted to go to the otherside to establish a connection with Enyou’s descendant so Akina tuned Gin himself. Enjin laughs and tells Akina that the branch family was forcefully tuned as sacrifices and the Nanagou were created in an act of revenge. Enjin tells Akina that he will need Akina’s body in order to obtain the power to accelerate the blooming of the Nanagou. Hime questions Enjin on what he means and Enjin explains that he will force Akina’s soul to leave his body, revealing a scar on his body which he uses as an example. Enjin begins to explain his Satori powers creating an illusion of Hime's Dragon Spear as an example. Enjin swings his dragon spear around hitting Akina in the chest. Being an illusion no damage was inflicted, but as Enjin gets closer to Akina he reveals that he was wielding a box cutter knife hidden by his illusion. Enjin stabs Akina in the gut and Akina collapses, shocking Touka, Kyosuke, Hime, Kotoha and Shidou. In burst of rage the group suddenly begin to attack Enjin with lethal force. Hime prepares to kill Enjin but her attack is stopped by Shidou who redirects Hime’s dragon spear and grabs Enjin by the neck. Hime tells Shidou to get out of her way and that she is going to kill Enjin, while Shidou tells her to stop.[21]

The group turn their attention towards Akina who wakes up and pulls out the Hime-memo revealing it had block the attack. Akina turns towards Hime who is on the verge of tears, but is covered up by Kotoha who uses Hime’s scarf to wrap her face. Kotoha comments how much commotion was made simply over a mayoral election. Yuuhi tells the group that Kohime cannot run for mayor and that Morino is mayor for next term as well, shocking the rest of the group.

Jinroku pulls out the package he had saved from the store earlier. Jinroku gives his bowl to Kohime as a gift, which she accepts and thanks him for. Hime sees the bowl and says she wants one as well. Jinroku tells Hime that she does not need one.[21]

Hime operates based at the seventh Nanagou for the Nanagou Pilgrimage Stamp Rally. Rin and Akina arrive at Hime's station, Rin delivering a bowl of ramen to Hime. Hime offers Akina some since she had had two bowls. Akina apologizes for not telling Hime about the Nanagou blooming and Hime replies they are even since she kept secret she was a youkai. Hime finishes her bowl and looks towards Akina’s which she had just given him. Akina returns his bowl to Hime, telling her that he had already eaten. Akina states that all the townspeople have found out she is a youkai and wonders how they will react. Hime is excitedly approached by several children, and Hime tells Akina not much has changed. Hime asks now that Akina knows she is a youkai does it change anything. Hime and Akina’s conversation is interrupted by Mina who yells having finally reached the top of the staircase, followed by Kana, Eiji and Kyousuke. Hime greets Eiji and as he is about to apologize, offers Eiji to return to Sakurashinmachi. Hime receives a call from Kotoha and she leaves to shop for supplies for their party.

Hime contemplates that she had not been before the Senate since becoming mayor. Akina and Usumi argue abouth each other's methods. Hime attempts to speak out several times but is silence by Akina. Usuzumi reveals that they knew about thetrue origins of the Nanagou but kept it secret to Akina surprise. Usuzumi states it was because Akina would be less willing to use tuning and he should practice more telling Akina to tune Hime. Hime begins to yell but is interrupted by Akina who yells louder, smashes the bowl and threatens to tune the senate as he activates his tuning. The senate sit quietly unfazed as Hime grabs Akina and attempts to calm him. Akina calms down and tells Hime that they are leaving. Shidare stops them and brings up Akina’s previous statement about not knowing what is occurring in the other world and brings up the possibility that youkai may be happier in the otherworld. Akina replies stating that he will make the town an even better place than the otherworld then.[24]

As Akina and Hime walk home, Hime attempts to cheer Akina up. Hime notes Akina injured hand and grabs it but is moved away by Akina. Hime begins to cry and wraps her head with her her scarf.

Juli arm wrestling

At Juli's Hospital, Hime receives a checkup with Akina when Touka arrives. Juli finishes giving Hime a check up and tells her to learn how to use her powers better. Hime challenges Juli to armwrestling and Touka joins in. Juli accepts their challenge and defeats them both simultaneously.

Juli then begins Akina’s check up and they hold hands as and Akina begins to glow. Juli releases her hand and states they are finished. Hime and Touka begin to applaud Juri for abilities. Juli explains that any living being from their world is capable of counteracting Akina's sliding between dimensions. Hime suggest if she a yōkai would be able to do the same, but Juli states it would not work.[4]

At home, Touka enters Hime’s room and ask to sleep in her room for the night. As they rest, Touka ask Hime about the the earlier conversation concerning fixing Akina’s sliding between worlds. Hime simply states there is nothing they can do about it being youkai. Touka then ask if a youkai and human were to fall in love, would they be able to find happiness, which Hime states she does not know. Touka than states she simply wants to hold Akina’s hand and fixing the sliding is just an excuse.
