Underneath are myriad tattoos acquired before her band’s breakup, and minor scars and burns from time spent working odd jobs before the band.
Age: 25

Relationship with Hildon: Almost none. Hanako has followed the trail of breadcrumbs about the whereabouts of her father to the town - and run out of leads. She has remained within the town for some time, trying to track down someone, [i]anyone[/i] who can put her back on his tail.

Occupation: Unemployed. Formerly lead vocalist and additional guitarist of the underground metal band [i]Flaming Hot Death Cocks[/i] until the band’s breakup, continued solo for a time.

Backstory: Hanako Kurosawa was born in 1984 in Osaka, Japan. Her mother, Fumiko Kurosawa, was a student in her final year of college, and her father an unknown American tourist, whose name her mother never knew. Hanako never asked, nor received, specific details beyond that her ‘father’ had sabotaged the condom, before disappearing the next day. Barred from getting an abortion by strict, conservatively minded parents, Fumiko did her best to conceal the pregnancy and child, but struggled to make ends meet as a single parent. She found finding meaningful employment difficult, despite her excellent grades and promising performance. As a result, young Hanako grew up in difficult circumstances. Her grades were poor, and her attitude even worse. Her mother tried to love her, and did the best she could for her daughter, but the bond between parent and child never truly blossomed.

Hanako failed entrance exams to college, to the surprise of almost nobody and the disgust of her grandparents. She quickly fell into bad habits, working in porn on the weekends and underpaid, shitty jobs during the week - until her lucky break.

Hanako had always held a fascination with music, and had taught herself to play the guitar. At 21 years old, she was contacted by an old friend with a proposition to form a metal band. The going was slow at first, but though they never found widespread mainstream appeal they succeeded in attaining moderate success that allowed Hanako to finally live in a proper apartment, and begin saving up money. She thrived during this time, screaming her heart out into a microphone in nightclubs and minor venues to cheering crowds. Her lyrics became well known among fans, and her antics onstage even moreso. She became notorious for her anti-establishment, anti-authority views, and they influenced her work. Life, however, was going swimmingly, even through the recession, until the band’s breakup in 2008. Creative differences, coupled with poorly timed arguments and disagreements, lead to each of the band members going their separate ways. The others found employment in other bands, or in steady non-musical work, while Hanako tried and failed to recruit new talent to the band.

She continued on as a solo performance, until a fan who had remembered her life story accosted her one night in July of 2008. He pressed a handful of photographs into her hand, insisting that he was her half brother. He claimed that her father had married and lived life happily for a few years after returning to the US, but had openly bragged to his son about his ‘escapades’ in Japan, including names. After much research online, the man had become convinced of their relation - confirmed when she showed the photographs to her mother. His father, however, had recently abandoned the family and seemingly vanished into thin air.

Hanako immediately set off for the US, expecting to find the man relatively quickly. Ethan Mills was his name.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Hanako had purchased a used van and retrofitted it for her purposes, living out of it and occasionally performing in local nightclubs for spare cash and to take her mind off things. She didn’t know what she was going to do when she found him - attack him? Beat him to a pulp? Ask him why?

She traveled all across the United States trying to find the man. At one point finding herself at a gun range in Ohio, adrenaline pumping in her veins, purchasing her first handgun and ammunition - something completely inconceivable only a year prior, and made a point to practice with it whenever possible. She drifted aimlessly for some months, cushioned by a generous savings account from the success of [i]Flaming Hot Death Cocks[/i]. The trail of clues seemed to have run dry - until in April, she found a lead once more that lead to the small town of Hildon, New Hampshire. Expecting… something, it seemed promising at first - but beyond a small smattering of information indeed confirming he had lived there for some months, there was nothing. She lingered in the town for some time, insistent that there must be more to it.
