Kobayashi, Masao

小林正男

A boy who recently graduated from elementary school and entered the workforce as a milkman. He witnessed the newsman on the bridge from which Ichikawa was thrown, but remained silent to the police, leading them to believe she had jumped on her own.
His role in perpetuating the falsehood that Ichikawa committed suicide made him a victim of the bakeneko, which trapped him in the first car of the subway during the station's opening ceremony.
