			Through quotes obtained using the [[Lens "Voice"\|Voice Lens]], it is revealed that [[Shino Kururugi]] was Kyozo's sister. He murdered a man to "protect" her, but Shino was heartbroken and went to [[Mount Hikami]] to commit suicide. Kyozo blamed the shrine maidens for her death, believing they had lured her there.

	Initially, it appears he intended to die a proper death as well, in accordance with the local religion. A [[Maiden of Black Water]], [[Emi Mikomori]], lifted her veil to [[Glancing\|glance]] into his soul, but Kyozo was unable to bear her gaze, or the idea that she would know all his sins and secrets. He became agitated, shouted at her not to look at him, and fled into the forest. Since it was forbidden for anyone to leave the mountain, she gave chase, but Kyozo escaped.
