江藤あや

Aya Eto is a recurring character in the Gakkou no Kaidan anime series. She is a classmate and close friend of Satsuki.
Her first appearance was in Episode 15. She is one of the girls who participates in Shinobu's dark ritual, and she is the first victim. Shinobu says that Aya called her the previous night, stating that she wanted to give up on the ritual. The next day, Aya was absent from school, and Sakata did not call her name during roll call. Satsuki asks the teacher about Aya, but he says that he does not know anyone named Aya Eto, and everyone in the class laughs. Satsuki notices that not only is Aya gone, but her desk is missing as well. However, after Shinobu is defeated, Aya and the other girls return safely. She appears again in Episode 18, talking to Misono about the fact that no music is being played during lunch, and Leo says that there is no DJ during lunchtime. When Leo is talking about the legend of the Broadcast Room Ghost during physical education class, Aya appears again, with Satsuki. She was possibly talking with Satsuki when Leo appears. Aya appears again in Episode 20, as Aya, along with other students, is being controlled by Ohma, and tries to kill Satsuki with the other kids under Ohma's control. After Ohma is defeated, Aya returns to normal.
