Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: English Dub (RECASTING FOR SATOSHI)
Susana S for Oriyo Sonozaki
- VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM TO LOW -
Oriyo is the current head of the Sonozaki family, mother of Akane, and grandmother of Mion and Shion. She appears harsh and unforgiving in public and with other family heads, but she does have a kind heart, rarely shown behind the scenes. As she is a family head, according to the tradition her name is chosen so that its part refers to a demon, “ryo”, a kind of monster. She is the true power in Hinaizawa, though for appearances sake the Kimiyoshi family have been the town heads for generations. She also controlled the Onigafuchi Defense Aliiance during the Dam War. She now raises her granddaughter Mion to inherit her position as head after her eventual death. During the Dam War, The Hojou family, who supported the dam, disrespected and showed rude behavior toward her family, which fueled the towns anger toward them. This causes her to become angry with Shion after her involvement with Satoshi, leading Shion to become unstable after her punishment, leading to Oriyo’s death shortly after.
(Slightly ominous) If we all truly believe that this land is our mother, that means the dam construction project is an invasion that threatens our mothers life.
(Serious, trying not to sound softhearted) I’m not oppose to the kidnappinng, but that boy is not directly involved. I don’t want any harm to come to him. Make sure he stays safe.
(Furious) You idiot! I was wondering what disgrace you’d bring with you, but I had no idea it’d be with that trader from the Hojou family! You’ve gone and soiled our family name!
