Satoko is one of the foremost victims of [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. As a result of her parents' feud with the [[Sonozaki family]], Satoko was the subject of widespread abuse throughout [[Hinamizawa]]. Her abuse at the hands of the villagers combined with her frequent fights with her parents accelerated the symptoms of Hinamizawa Syndrome. Eventually, Satoko came to the conclusion that both of her parents hated her and became paranoid that the two were planning on killing Satoko on their trip away from Hinamizawa. On the day of the [[Watanagashi Festival]], 1980, Satoko became consumed with her paranoid delusions and pushed both of her parents off of a cliff. Following this, Satoko was admitted to the [[Irie Clinic]] as a terminal victim to Hinamizawa Syndrome. Initially, she was to be dissected in order for the Irie institution to study the pathogen inside her brain. However, [[Kyousuke Irie]] tests the experimental [[C-103]] medicine on Satoko with positive results, and Satoko returns to a stable condition. In order to maintain that stable condition, Satoko must take several shots of C-103 every day as well as come into the Irie Clinic every week for checkups.▼
| introduction =
After her parents' death, Satoko's [[Tamae Houjou|aunt]] and [[Teppei Houjou|uncle]] took custody of both Satoko and her brother [[Satoshi Houjou|Satoshi]], relegating them to a single room in their house. This worsened Satoko's symptoms as she was frequently abused by her aunt. Several of Satoko's classmates attempted to help her by contacting the [[Child Welfare Office]] and reporting the abuse, however this only resulted in further cruelty. On the night of the Watanagashi Festival, 1982, her brother Satoshi succumbed to Hinamizawa Syndrome and beat their aunt to death with a baseball bat. Shortly afterwards, Satoshi disappeared. Fearing for his life, their uncle left the village. Having lost most of her family members, Satoko moved in with [[Rika Furude]] and lived together with her for a year.▼
