{{nihongo|'''Hinamizawa Syndrome'''|雛見沢症候群|Hinamizawa Shōkōgun|HS}} is a psychiatric disease found exclusively in citizens of [[Hinamizawa]]. The most common symptoms include anxiety and paranoia, which can force people with Hinamizawa Syndrome to commit strange and violent acts. Other symptoms include an extreme irritation of the [[Wikipedia:Lymph node|lymph nodes]] and [[Wikipedia:Formication|formication]]. The disease is similar to [[w:Delusional parasitosis|Delusionaldelusional parasitosis]].

Hinamizawa Syndrome was first discovered by [[Hifumi Takano]]. Takano wrote a report regarding the history of [[Hinamizawa]] and the supposed disease plaguing its residents. Takano's goal was to make the disease public knowledge and to secure funds for researching its treatment. Part of Takano's report proposed that a member of the [[Wikipedia:Imperial Japanese Army|Imperial Japanese Army]], one from Hinamizawa, was afflicted with HS. As a result of the worsening disease, this soldier fired at the [[Wikipedia:Republic of China (1912–49)|Chinese]] [[Wikipedia:National Revolutionary Army|National Revolutionary Army]], triggering the [[Wikipedia:Second Sino-Japanese War|Second Sino-Japanese War]]. Several government officials rejected Takano's report due to this proposal as accepting it would mean having to take responsibility for the [[Wikipedia:Marco Polo Bridge Incident|Marco Polo Bridge Incident]], which [["Tokyo"]] had no intention of doing.

ShortlySome time later, after Hifumi Takano's eventual death, his adopted granddaughter, [[Miyo Takano]], took over the research of HS. She managed to secure generous funds from a [["Tokyo"]] official named [[Nomura]]. Using this money, Miyo joined with [[Kyousuke Irie]] and formed the [[Irie Institution]] and further researchresearched HSHinamizawa Syndrome from within [[Hinamizawa]] itself.
