Nitaka Ichifuji (一藤 二孝 Ichifuji Nitaka?) is a secret playable character in Forbidden Siren 2. He is unlocked by completing all missions in the game on Hard mode. A shibito, he is a member of the Japanese Self-Defense Force.
Story[]
Nitaka was a member of the JSDF, the same group with Takeaki Misawa, Yorito Nagai and Hiroshi Okita. He died in the crash and resurrected as a shibito alongside a fellow soldier in his group.
After Mamoru Itsuki released the yamirei in the island's amusement park, Nitaka and his fellow officer took it upon themselves to save as many shibito as possible while fending off their dark-dwelling counterparts. At one point, a shibito woman, Momiko Nabejima, yelled for help in one of apartment complexes in the Gold Mining Co. Housing. Nikata and his ally went to her room to rescue her, during which they encountered the yamirei.
Entering her room, they told her that they wish to escort her to safety, but Momiko reveals that she can't leave without her iron.
Nitaka retrieved her iron, thereby allowing Momiko to join them. Exiting the building and nearly out of the area, Nitaka is shot by a sniping yamibito. Just when it looks like the yamibito will kill Nitaka, his fellow soldier shoots down the yamibito, saving him. Together, the 3 shibito manage to leave the place, possibly allowing them to be with other shibito in the fight against the yamirei and yamibito.

Trivia[]
- Nitaka is the only playable character who is depicted as being a shibto; while Tomoko Maeda and Bella Monroe, in Forbidden Siren and Siren: Blood Curse respectively, were shibito in one of their stages, they were depicted as humans in order for their transformation to be a twist in their stories.
- Nitaka is the only playable character who is both a shibito and a military character during his mission.
- Oddly, his stage is found in Takeaki Misawa's column in the Link Navigator rather than having it in his own separate one. This could have been done to hide the fact that he is a secret character.
- From a Japanese point of view, his name is very unusual and uncommon in japan, The origin of his name is quoted from "1. Fuji, 2. Hawk, 3. Eggplant" In Japanese culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsuyume
- Nitaka appears as an enemy in several levels.
- Nitaka's Military Shibito companion is the only Escort character who can die without a game over, in addition "Wait" is changed to "Guard" in the Actions menu, he is also the only character with an Action menu that has the actions in a different order than usual.
- Nitaka is the only player character that uses an enemy animation set without hacking.
