Natsumi Kimiyoshi

Kimiyoshi Natsumi is the main character of two Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna Arcs: Someutsushi-hen and Kagebōshi-hen. Her family recently moved from Okinomiya to Kakiuchi city with her grandmother, who is a native of Hinamizawa and a devout believer of its local deity, Oyashiro-sama. Despite being a shy and refined girl, she quickly befriended two of her classmates, Saeki Chisato and Makimura Tamako. At first, Natsumi is shown to be a silent and refined, maybe even an antisocial girl. Due to recently moving from Okinomiya, she doesn't have many friends in Kakiuchi, except for Tamako and Chisato. Even though she had good grades in Okinomiya, she is shown to struggle with her studies in Kakiuchi, due to the sudden change of her environment, and her new city's stricter education system. Despite her hardships, she is shown to be a diligent and hard-working person, who often pulls out all nighters to prevent her studies falling behind. She is also shown to deeply care for her family, and in Someutsushi-hen she even gets a part-time job at the Saeki Hospital to buy an expensive anniversary gift for her parents.
