The Ito Family is a group of shibito-characters in Siren: New Translation (Blood Curse), acting as antagonists throughout two episodes of the storyline. The family consists of at least of 4 members: Father, Mother, Daughter and Grandpa.

The grandma of the family could be present in their first appearance, however it is only speculations. The old and abandoned house in Tabori seems to belong to the Ito’s, since the family members can only be encountered there.

Story[]

First Timeline[]

It is unknown who the Ito‘s are. Only their surname is mentioned to the player, while their first names are unknown. Plus, not all family members are seen in Tabori house in the family’s first appearance. We know that the Ito family was living in the 1976 version of Hanuda. The grandpa sleeps in his room on the second floor of the house, and father also takes care of him, checking on grandpa from time to time.

During Episode 1, the father of the family is seriously wounded by Shuji Shimada off-screen. His corpse can be seen by Howard Wright, when he hides from the policeman under the house on the hill, although then father awakens and cries for help, seeing Howard hiding. Shimada, however, arrives shortly and finally puts father out of his misery.

After Howard is shot by Shimada, father awakens as a shibito and apparently returns to his family in Tabori. He is not seen again until Howard and Miyako Kajiro arrive at Tabori, near the Ito House. They infiltrate the house and encounters father, since he was near the back entrance, mother of the Ito Family, who works in the kitchen, and grandpa, who stayed in the study room alongside the key for his bedroom upstairs. He also armed himself with 38. Revolver.

Upstairs, a completely unknown shibito can be encountered in the daughter‘s room, while the daughter herself is nowhere to be seen. It could also be the grandma of the family. Later, grandpa is knocked out by Howard, who also can take his gun for himself. Eventually, Howard and Miyako escape Tabori successfully, leaving the Ito Family behind.

Second Timeline[]

The Ito Family reappears in Episode 10. All members are now present and act as main antagonists of the episode. When Bella Monroe escaped from Seigo Saiga earlier, looking for her mother, she decides to hide in Ito‘s House (sort of a shelter for the night). However, its owners return home and Bella is forced to hide in a closet, while the Ito’s are watching a TV (that isn't working properly), and pretending that they are a normal Japanese family.

All main three family members are actively patrolling the house, except grandpa, who is sleeping in his room, with father checking on him from time to time. Grandpa also doesn’t have a revolver now. Daughter, on the other hand, mostly spends time in her room, listening to “Bermuda 3”-recording and drawing complete nonsense in her drawing album. Sometimes she also patrols the house, even using a broken phone downstairs to call her boyfriend or a friend (most likely boyfriend, since she sounded flirty while talking on the phone).

Shibito 1-1

Mother mostly patrols the first floor or is in the kitchen, making a dish out of what seems to be human meat. In rare occurrences, father and mother can be spotted together on the first floor, kissing and flirting with each other. Father also seems to be a pervert, since he stares at a naked girl’s poster in one of the bedrooms for quite some time. He can also be encountered in the bathroom or his study room, on the first floor. Father also seems to be talking to himself, mumbling some nonsense. The family also keeps a strange altar with a possessed doll in one of the rooms on the first floor, which appears to represent Mana religion.

Eventually, Bella escapes from Ito’s House, before catching a Hanuda Beetle, using some items found in the house itself. The Ito’s are never seen again after that and their fate is unknown, however it it’s likely that they, like all other Hanuda’s shibito, were later killed by Howard Wright wielding Homuranagi and the Uryen.

Interesting Facts[]

-The Ito Family is based on the Maeda Family from the original Siren. They also reside in Tabori, in the old house. The daughter of Ito Family is based on Tomoko Maeda, while father and mother are based on Tomoko’s parents. Grandpa and (possibly) grandma are the only members of the family unique to the remake.

-The study room houses a certain Bowling Trophy, which is actually a reference to a similar trophy from Forbidden Siren 2. Both trophies are rumored to be cursed with bad luck.

-It is unknown how mother, daughter, grandma and grandpa became shibito, but it is likely that father killed them, or the shibito who can be found near the house earlier in the First Timeline did. It should also be noted that the daughter is not present in the house during the First Timeline.

-Ito’s House was first featured in Siren: New Translation - Episode 0, serving as an Easter Egg.

-It appears that the Ito’s killed at least couple of villagers and ate them, since human remains can be found in the kitchen. It also proves that shibito indeed can eat human flesh, however since they are not aware of their transformation, they think that human meat is just a tasty meal of some sort.
