Jinko Hirata

Biography:

Name: Hirata, Jinko

Age: 17 (23rd February)

Nationality: Japanese

Origin: Kyoto

Story:

She is a close friend of Akiko, and they hang out from time to time. Sometimes, Jinko gets called "chicken-mullet" by students in her parallel class. They both went to the same school and were in the same class before Akiko took on the mantle and duty of exorcising manifested demons and monsters. 

Before that time, they went out together a lot, talked about their favorite bands and series, and sometimes gushed about their crushes (mostly Jinko did that). Initially, Jinko was not much affected by the change when her friend took on the job and a long life battle against demons. However, later she became frustrated with Akiko's double life, and it became difficult to even exchange a few words with her. 

Jinko had to accept how things were and ended her long friendship with Akiko, realizing that exorcism had changed Akiko's priorities and personality. Despite the pain of their distance, she thought it was better than being disappointed by unfulfilled promises. This decision led to Jinko getting into trouble with a demon that fused its body into hers, forcing Akiko to fix the mistake.
