'''Rena's mother''', also known as '''Mrs. Ryuuguu''', is a successful businesswoman and [[Rena Ryuuguu]]'s biological mother. She was once married to Rena's father after their meeting in [[Okinomiya]]. However, a series of promotions led her to spend more time at work than with her family. After the family moved to [[Wikipedia:Ibaraki Prefecture|Ibaraki]], Rena's mother became romantically involved with [[Akihito]]. She repeatedly brought Rena with her to office parties and similar affairs in an attempt to become grow her relationship with Rena while diminishing Rena's relationship with her father. She eventually tells Rena that she plans to marry Akihito and asks Rena to come with her. Rena strongly disapproved, and her disapproval turned to rage when Rena's mother revealed she was pregnant with Akihito's child. After this, Rena's mother refused to meet Rena's father and communicated only through her lawyer. Rena and her mother only met one more time, during which Rena attempted to give her mother a letter written by Rena's father, however Rena's mother refused to read it. After this, Rena destroyed all of her mother's possessions in the Ryuuguu house and vowed to have nothing to do with her ever again. Rena's mother has not appeared since.
=== Ryuunosuke Arakawa ===
{{nihongo|'''Ryuunosuke Arakawa'''|荒川 龍ノ介|Arakawa Ryūnosuke}} is a freelance writer that works for an occult magazine. Arakawa was perfectly happy to come to the village on assignment in spite of all the rumors. He is very well informed on the occult theories surrounding the village about aliens and parasites, but not as well informed on the traditional legends of the demons.
 
Arakawa tends to panic and overreact to things. He is highly suspicious of the other members of the group, especially [["Sonozaki Mion"]] since, according to his information, she died in the explosion at the [[Hinamizawa School|school]]. In the end, though, she is not only his best chance at finding material for his article but also his best chance at surviving. Not particularly brave, he will still usually come through in a pinch. He also has the most black and white moral viewpoint of the ''[[Yoigoshi-hen]]'' group, and is quick to judge and point fingers.
