Akasaka Miyuki (赤坂 美雪) is a character in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series. She is the daughter of Akasaka Mamoru and Akasaka Yukie. In Himatsubushi-hen, Miyuki was the only survivor in birth when her mother, Yukie, died from the accident.
Character Summary[]
In the original Sound Novel, she is only briefly mentioned during the ending of Matsuribayashi-hen. It is said that both "Akasaka's daughter" and Furude Rika became close friends, almost as if they were sisters.
In the PS2 version, it is said that she is seven years old in 1985, and, so far, she is the only character to have his/her age said outright. Akasaka sees a resemblance to the approximately six-year-old Rika in her. She, like any child, is very energetic, however, Akasaka states that she probably feels lonely without her mother. She is shy, which is shown when she meets Ōishi Kuraudo. In Himatsubushi-hen she is mostly raised by Yukie's grandparents since her father has to work and her mother is dead, but in Matsuribayashi-hen Yukie is alive so she most likely takes care of her. She always addresses her father as "Papa", and is frequently shown worrying about him. Miyuki bears a resemblance to her mother, and Akasaka even says that he "sees the reincarnation of Yukie in her".
She only appears in person in the manga, the console ports and the gacha game Mei, although there is a picture of her in the anime. She may be named after her mother. She was voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.
In the exclusive DS-Port version of Yoigoshi-hen, Miyuki appeared in her adult years as Sorimachi Miyuki, under her married name. Miyuki is a freelance writer set on unraveling the mysteries of Hinamizawa with Arakawa Ryūnosuke. It turns out that she's actually an undercover police officer who's hunting down Mifune. Just like her younger self, Sorimachi Miyuki is also voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.
In 2020, she's featured as one of the main characters of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mei gaming app.
