Profile

No reason provided.

Chiaki is a childhood friend of the protagonist.[1] She came from an upper-class background. She thinks she is superior to others and doesn't care about what they think.[2][3] She is one of the Reason holders and represents the Yosuga reason. She wears a zipper-up jean jacket that goes down to her knees like a skirt with a metallic belt. She also has boots of similar coloring.

After being given power by Gozu-Tennoh and changing to her "Demon-Supporting"[a] form her skin becomes pale and her formerly dark hair turns completely white. The sleeves of her jean jacket are gone, and her right arm becomes a distorted tree-branch-like appendage whose design extends to her mouth.

Nomenclature

In the initial English release of Nocturne, Chiaki's family name was changed to Hayasaka. This is because her original family name, Tachibana, is nine characters long, and text strings for names in Nocturne have an eight-character limit. In Nocturne HD Remaster, this limit was raised, and her family name was changed back to Tachibana.

Her surname, Tachibana, is one of Japan's four traditional noble clans known as the Genpeitōkitsu (源平藤橘).

Notes

  1. ↑ Japanese: 魔丞チアキ, romanized Majo chiaki. This is in reference to a line of Gozu-Tennoh's when he gives her his power.[4] This line was localized as "Be the strength that guides all demons!"
