List of characters in Umineko no Naku Koro ni

Main family branch

 * Kinzo Ushiromiya (右代宮 金蔵)
 * Kinzo is the aged head of the Ushiromiya family. A veteran of World War II, Kinzo came into a large quantity of gold while stationed in the Italian Social Republic. He used this gold to establish the Ushiromiya as a powerful family operating in several industries. In his later years, Kinzo had a mansion built on his private island Rokkenjima where he now lives.

Due to Kinzo's age, the issue of inheritance is a regular topic at these family conferences.

 * Natsuhi Ushiromiya (右代宮 夏妃)

As she is not part of the Ushiromiya bloodline, Natsuhi is not allowed to wear the family crest on her person, a fact that greatly distresses her. She is frequently bullied by Krauss's sister Eva who desires to undermine Natsuhi's position as head woman of the Ushiromiya family.


 * Lion Ushiromiya (右代宮 理御)
 * Lion is Krauss and Natsuhi's adopted child and only appears in the miracle fragment. When Lion does appear, Lion takes on the burden of being the next in line for the Ushiromiya headship.
