History[]
Ikumi's parents forced her into marrying her husband. Her two first sons were smart and cute, but died in childhood. Her youngest child is still alive, but Ikumi sees only her father in her. She was happy when her husband died, as she felt her life was just beginning again.
Battle against Shikis[]
Ikumi realized the existence of Shiki or the Risen. She tried to show the villagers the Kirishiki's true nature, but nobody believed her. Later on, she is lured outside to a bridge in an unknown location during the night by a shiki pretending to be a terrified woman who was attacked. Ikumi is never seen again.
