== Plot ==
For the first few chapters of {{higurashi}}, Rika largely appears as a secondary character while [[Keiichi Maebara]] serves as the main character. As Rika's connection to the [[curse of Oyashiro]] is made more apparent, she becomes a significantly more important character.
=== Hinamizawa Bus Stop ===
Rika is one of only two ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' characters to appear in the non-canon ''[[Hinamizawa Bus Stop]]''. Rika appears much older than in her canon appearance, being even older than [[Mion Sonozaki]]. Rika remains the host of the "parent insect" that is said to worsen the effects of [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. Initially, Rika works with the Ministry of Health and Welfare to select a new host to transplant the parent insect into, seeing as Rika is too frail to continue being its host. Rika selects Mion for transplant, but later changes her mind. Rika is much more violent than in her canon appearance, threatening to kill Mion if the Ministry of Health and Welfare comes after her.
