Saya no Uta/Characters


Fuminori Sakisaka

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa

The main character. A medical student in his twenties and the sole survivor of a horrible car accident. Saved by an experimental medical treatment, he now sees the world in a contorted manner with the exception of one thing: a girl named Saya.

  • Ax Crazy: He even buys an ax later on to use for the specific purpose of hacking apart one of his former friends.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: He won't tell anyone about his agnosia, for fear of becoming a guinea pig in lab experiments. Naturally, his silence ends up doing more harm than good.
  • Conveniently an Orphan: The fact that both his parents were killed in the horrific car crash means no one really knows what's going on inside his house.
  • Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?: Unknowingly at first, but still.
  • Driven to Suicide: Attempted it before the beginning of the game due to his condition, but didn't succeed. Succeeds in 1 of the 3 endings in a particularly gory way, by smashing his face repeatedly into the blade of an ax.
  • Failure Is the Only Option: He and Saya don't end up together in any of the game's 3 endings.
  • Fate Worse Than Death: How he viewed his abnormal condition up until Saya came into his life.
  • Good People Have Good Sex: Averted, he and Saya have a very active sex life even though they get more depraved as the story goes on.
  • Harmful Healing: The brain surgery that saved his life did way more harm than good for his psyche, unfortunately.
  • H-Game POV Character: Initially seems to be a Type II B, but depending on the choices picked, he can quickly deterioriate into either a Type VI A or B.
  • Horror Hunger: Due to his condition he seemingly loses his appetite for normal food which now tastes unappealing to him, no matter what dishes Saya tries to cook. However, after he returns home one day and finds Saya crouching down and eating something lying on the floor...
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: In the first of the three endings.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: And his first human meal is one of his former friends, no less.
  • I Will Wait for You: Again, in the first of the three endings.
  • Jerkass
  • Kick the Dog: Telling Yoh that he always hated her after she tries confessing how much she cares about him. He really could have been a lot less cruel about turning her down.
  • Lack of Empathy
  • Love Makes You Crazy and Evil
  • Non-Action Guy: Kouji is a much better fighter than him because of this, and nearly beats him in their final duel before Saya intervenes.
  • Not Good with People: In a sense. After losing his normal senses of perception, he can only relate well with Saya, who's actually an alien, and not with other people since they look like monsters to him.
  • Parental Abandonment: Both his parents were killed in a horrific car crash that led him to his medical illness.
  • Sanity Slippage: His insanity slowly worsens as the game progresses.
  • There Are No Therapists: Averted hard. There are therapists available, but Fuminori refuses to see any of them.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: He is said to have been a much nicer person before the events of the game take place.
  • Tragic Villain
  • Unholy Matrimony: With Saya.
  • Villain Protagonist
  • Yandere: His reaction to finding someone raping Saya was to take the nearest meat cleaver and go crazy hacking at the man with it. He is also willing to let the world be damned for the sake of their love.

Saya

Voiced by: Naoko Takano

A strange girl who's been living with Fuminori ever since he got out of the hospital. She's the only thing that appears normal to him.

Kouji Tonoo

Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto

Fuminori's friend. After Fuminori's accident he has been trying to help Fuminori's life get back to normal.

  • Action Survivor
  • Badass
  • Combat Pragmatist: His skill and experience in street fighting makes him a superior combatant to Fuminori, who has never fought anyone before.
  • Driven to Suicide: In the third ending. He hasn't killed himself yet, but the only way he can continue living with the knowledge he now has is by keeping a revolver loaded with a single bullet in his room all the time.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation
  • He Knows Too Much: Fuminori tries to kill him because of this. Luckily, Ryoko finds him before he dies inside the well he was pushed into.
  • Hero Antagonist
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Justified in that Fuminori was his best friend though, and Kouji would have never guessed he would later try to kill him. Nonetheless, he still suffers a bit from this when Fuminori shows up, starts acting strange, and abruptly asks to be driven all the way to a far, remote location without suspecting he might be up to something.
  • The Insomniac: Suffers from recurrent nightmares after surviving in the third ending.
  • The Matchmaker: He and Ōmi were trying to get their respective friends, Fuminori and Yoh, together as a couple before the accident happened.
  • Nice Guy: He's the only genuine example of this, unlike Fuminori, at least before he gets broken down by his subsequent experiences.
  • Only Sane Man: Lampshades this at one point, when he wonders why he keeps meeting crazy people all the time. This is before he loses it too, though.
  • Pipe Pain: He picks up a steel pipe during his final confrontation with Fuminori at his new home.
  • Sanity Slippage
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Ōmi, before she got killed. This only applies to their personalities though, and not their physical attributes.
  • Sole Survivor: In the third ending.
  • A Tragedy of Impulsiveness/Too Dumb to Live: The player can actually invoke these tropes by choosing to have Kouji immediately phone Fuminori after finding the refrigerated remains of his girlfriend in Fuminori's house, rather than choosing the more rational option of contacting Ryoko first. Depending on which choice is picked, Kouji will either play these tropes entirely straight or avert them.

Ōmi Takahata

Voiced by: Hyo-sei

Kouji's girlfriend and Yoh's best friend.

Yoh Tsukuba

Voiced by: Mio Yasuda

A young woman with an unrequited crush on Fuminori. She sincerely tries to help and understand him but her attempts to reach out to him are always met with disdain. She dies in 2 of the game's 3 endings.

Ryōko Tanbo

Voiced by: Mitsuki Saiga

Fuminori's doctor. A friendly professional who wants to help Fuminori as best as she can. Her real personality is actually very distant and calculated. She also knows a lot more about Fuminori's condition and treatment than she lets on. She dies in 2 of the game's 3 endings.
