Apparence
Chiho est une jeune fille japonaise. Elle a de longs cheveux clairs. Tout comme Takuma, Chiho est maigre et semble être physiquement fragile.
Personnalité
Chiho est une jeune fille curieuse, passionnée par l'écriture, mais qui est par ailleurs ordinaire.
Après s'être découvert une passion pour la littérature et surtout pour l'écriture, Chiho rêve de devenir romancière et a écrit son propre livre, un histoire d'amour. Chiho a pour habitude d'enquêter sur certains endroits et légendes insolites de Morioh afin de trouver de la matière pour ses histoires et admire Takuma comme un senpai qui s'y connaît en littérature, contrairement à elle, se considérant trop distraite. Chiho lit elle-même beaucoup et l'odeur des vieux livres la met à l'aise. Les livres pour enfants sont son type de livre préféré.[1]
En revanche, Chiho ne s'intéresse pas aux activités typiquement féminines comme le maquillage.[1]
En raison de sa passion, Chiho fréquente particulièrement Takuma, la seule personne avec laquelle elle se sent capable de parler librement de en matière de l'écriture d'un roman.[1]
Quand elle était enfant, Chiho a failli être agressée, et un mystérieux garçon l'a sauvée.[1] Elle se lia d'amitié avec Takuma car elle croit qu'il pourrait être son sauveur, puis elle tombe amoureuse de lui quand elle a la confirmation qu'il était son sauveur.[2] Même après avoir appris que Takuma est son demi-frère, elle décide de donner naissance à leur enfant, se disant qu'ainsi, la vie de Takuma aura eu un sens.[3]
Compétences
Chiho a un talent certain pour l'écriture. Quand elle est motivée, Chiho est capable d'écrire tout une nuit dans un carnet et de le remplir avec son histoire.[1]
Stand
De manière remarquable, bien qu'elle descende d'un manieur de Stand, Chiho semble n'avoir aucun potentiel pour devenir une manieuse de Stand, et ne peut pas, par exemple, voir The Book.[1]
Histoire
Passé
Chiho Futaba was a child who saw her parents fighting many times. As she couldn't concentrate on reading over the sound of her mother breaking dishes, she ran away from home when she was 12 years old. She decided to take a bus to S City, but gave up after realizing she lived her entire life in Morioh.
One day, Chiho was attacked by a delinquent when alone, but was saved by a mysterious boy and returned home.
Along the years all her friends stopped talking to her to be with boys, while her best friend moved to an all-girls high school in S City to become an interpreter for Hollywood stars. Chiho decided to write a diary and ended up spending hours writing in it. After seeing it was written more like a novel, Chiho decided to become a writer. She lives with her father Teruhiko Futaba now in Morioh, and is spoiled by him. She lived relatively close by to Yukako Yamagishi.
The Book: 4th Another Day
In 2000, Chiho is an aspiring novelist. Fascinated with rumors from Morioh which could give her ideas for her novels, she researches about the iron tower man and later the bizarre book.
One day, Chiho meets Takuma Hasumi and becomes his friend, believing him to be the boy who saved her from her aggressor years ago even though Takuma denies it. During that time, she frequents Takuma regularly, bonding over their mutual love for literature. Several months later, Chiho falls in love with Takuma, and finally knows it is Takuma who saved her before. On one occasion she has sex with Takuma and ends up getting pregnant.
Two months after they became a couple, Chiho invites Takuma to her home for dinner, and later receives a black amber necklace from Takuma, which is exactly the one her father Teruhiko gave Takuma's mother, Akari Hirai, years ago. From her father's words, Chiho learns that she's actually Takuma's half-sister. Her father also wants to use his stand, Memory of Jet, to hide her away from Takuma. Chiho then stabs Teruhiko to death with a kitchen knife, then sets their house on fire. After Takuma dies, Chiho is later taken in by her mother, who lives in S City. Her mother also keeps her hidden from the police, as Chiho is the prime suspect in the murder of her father.
On her last public appearance on August 2000, Chiho meets Koichi Hirose and talks with him a little while and reveals her pregnancy, intending to give birth to Takuma's child. Chiho then leaves Morioh in a bus.
