Story[]
Previous to the incident[]
He lived as a specialist archaeologist in Tokyo where he made good friends with Omito Takeuchi, but after the death of his wife Yayoi in 1973, he moved to Yamijima with his son Shu (presumably to conduct a scientific investigation).
Dear Mikami,'I was shocked to learn of your wife's passing and can only express my belated but heartfelt condolences for your''tragic loss.
I have come to realise the reason why you sold your home in Tokyo and decided to settle down in Yamijima Island. I'm sure that she will appreciate the fact that you wish to continue your research near the sea that claimed her life. Raising young Shu on your own is not likely to be an easy task. The distance between our mutual residences means that we shall only be able to meet at the occasional study conference held every few years. However, please note that my wife and I will be happy to be of any help, so please do not hesitate to write. Once again, my deepest condolences. Our prayers go with you. April 7, 1973 - Omito Takeuchi |
One day while Ryuhei and Shu went to the rocky area in the harbour to search for a medal dropped by Shu, they ended up taking in an amnesiac girl. Her face bears an eerie resemblance to that of his wife when she was young, and her strange behavior makes him suspicious, but seeing his son take to the girl like a big sister Ryuhei names her Kanae and they begin living together.
However, the islanders residing in the area, including Tsuneo Ohta, believe that Kanae is the cause of the strange happenings and gradually the discord intensifies.
During the incident[]
The night of the tragedy in which the residents of Yamijima vanish he is killed by Kanae just before the fishermen storm into his house and find her, then soon after and turned into a Shibito by a Shiryo. Then he goes chasing Tsuneo Ohta and nothing more is known from him until later.
As a Yamibito[]
He confronts Akiko Kiyota in Aonoku, but Shu, now as a ghost guides her to the root and then she uses it to kill Ryuhei definitively.
Trivia[]
Many characters take shelter or enter his house at will in some moment, ironically he is the only one who can't enter his own house due to his size as a Kou-Yamibito.
