List of minor characters in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Difference between revisions

{{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 [["Mion Sonozaki"]] 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.
