Hanyuu is a female god that appears in Minagoroshi-hen and beyond. Hanyuu is is one of the main characters in the Higurashi When They Cry series, and the true identity of Oyashiro-sama. Please help the MUGEN Database by expanding this article.Īrtwork from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri In Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, Hanyuu tells Rika that she was sacrificed to atone for the sins of the people of the village, and Hanyuu asked Ōka Furude (Hanyuu's own daughter and Rika's ancestor) to kill her and then make the village a better place.This article has been considered a stub. Rika refers to her as "Oyashiro" when talking with others (evident from Shion's chat with Rika in Meakashi-hen) but does not personally think of her as Oyashiro instead, she sees her as a close friend. She mentions that she is a "being above humans" after being sacrificed to atone for the sin of humans, while both Rika and Takano describe her as a kind of deity. She dislikes alcohol and kimchi, which Rika imbibes in large amounts as punishment when she finds Hanyuu annoying (as both Hanyuu's and Rika's senses are linked together). She also tends to end her sentences with nano desu (なのです?, lit. She is very meek and often makes the noise "Au au, au au…" when she is nervous or uncomfortable, or sometimes while trying to make a point.


In fact, she has appeared to Rika all her life, but only in Matsuribayashi-hen and Miotsukushi-hen did she gain the power to interact with others, posing as a distant relative of Rika's and given the name "Hanyuu Furude." Like many of the characters, she can be frightening when angered, and with her spirit-like nature, her appearance can change with her mood until she takes a physical form. She has a pair of dark colored horns on her head, one of which is chipped slightly (however, no one seems to notice or mention them, with the exception of Takano, who calls her a "monster"). Hanyuu is the mysterious "transfer student" in Matsuribayashi-hen.
