Atsushi Hirata

As Tarou’s eccentric new therapist, this Tokyo University-educated clinical psychologist brings a wealth of psychological expertise to the series. Initially, he dismisses Tarou’s out-of-body experiences as mere altered states of consciousness, using the boy's condition to test his own academic theories. However, he eventually acknowledges a potential supernatural influence tied to the mountain's landscape. Though he has personally encountered paranormal phenomena, he keeps these secrets hidden to avoid complicating his professional psychological diagnoses.
