Kuraudo Ooishi: Difference between revisions

Ooishi was born and raised in [[Okinomiya]]. His real father was killed when the Nagoya plant he was working at was bombed during World War II. Ooishi did not get along with his father, but still missed him greatly. In the time after the war he was set to persecute people buying food illegally on the black market. There was a severe food shortage, and he was not proud of what he was doing. At that time he met a man who became like a second father to him. In the anime, he refers to this man as his father when it is revealed that the man was the [[MinorList of minor characters in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni#Construction Manager|manager of the dam construction project]]. During a fight provoked by his employees, whom he'd been scolding for drinking on site, the man lost control of his temper and viciously counter-attacked them. He was lynched and dismembered by those employees. He was considered the first of the annual victims of the curse, and Ooishi came to believe that the Sonozaki family, at the head of the anti-dam movement, were responsible for this.
