== Profile ==
=== Background ===
Mamiya Rina is a pink-haired woman whoprimarily works primarily as a showgirl (though on paper as the private manager) in a Sonozaki-run establishment called the Blue Mermaid. Hōjō Teppei is her lover, and most likely her pimp. He lives in her apartment, and most likely off her 'wages' as well. Together they get money from men through a variety of schemes and blackmail techniques. She does not appear until ''Tsumihoroboshi-hen'', where she has gotten together with [[Rena Ryuuguu]]'s father in an attempt to extort money from him. When Rena realizes this, she confronts Rina in the junkyard. Rina, not one to take such things lightly, attacks her. After injuring her with a piece of glass, Rena manages to kill Rina with a lead pipe, triggering the reemergence of Rena's [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]].
It is revealed in {{sotsu}} that she was raised by a single parent.
In most arcs, her death is simply what causes Teppei to return to Hinamizawa. Not surprisingly, Rina is in with some bad characters. She was involved in an attempt to steal money from the [[Sonozaki family|Sonozakis]] with some former members of their group. Based on the TIPS from the games, she was being pursued by the Sonozakis who catch up with her just as the culprits are about to make their get-away. In these arcs, she is the only one noted as getting caught, and was most likely tortured to get information on the others before she was finally killed in a way reminiscent of the ancient Watanagashi-type rituals of ancient Hinamizawa. It is her body we see in the storm drain at the beginning of ''[[Tatarigoroshi-hen]]''. Even though Teppei was never a part of the scheme, as she thought him too stupid to be of any use, he was still closely tied to her, so her murder causes him to return to escape what he fears will be a yakuza retribution on him.
