Sachiko Kawamura

A colleague of Shoji at his restaurant, this character initially appeared only in Hachi’s vivid, anxious dreams as a wealthy, fashion-obsessed city girl. While Hachi’s subconscious imagined her as a romantic threat involved in a potential affair, the actual person is far different from that fictionalized version. Her presence in the story is marked by a strange, fateful connection to Hachi’s subconscious, even influencing the names Hachi considers for her future daughter.
