Assuming that Yamato was now infected, the bullies began to insult him and then mentioned that the Kazama Family would be infected as well.

Yamato went on to say that Miyako was not infected with cooties or viruses, and placed his hand on her head to prove it. Yamato told them to leave Miyako's parents out of it, and as he still stood in front of her, the bullies assumed he was infected with the Shiina Virus. The bullies were confused as to why Yamato would protect Miyako, especially as she was the daughter of a prostitute. His resolve strengthened, Yamato stood in front of Miyako and defended her from the bullies. Yamato then remembered about a promise he made to Momoyo by Tama River, and that she was waiting for him to become a man who could stand beside her. Yamato was unsure of what to do, as he knew that protecting Miyako would lead to him being a victim as well, but could not stand to just watch and do nothing. Miyako was then confronted by several boys who chanted at Miyako to kill herself continuously, leading to Miyako to break down in tears. Outside the class, Yamato witnessed Miyako burying the praying for the killifish while crying. Due to her efforts in helping the Kazama Family with the century plant, Yamato knew Miyako was a kind girl, and felt the insults and schemes were going too far. As Yamato, who was in the same class, observed the situation, he noticed that several girls were chuckling to themselves, and overheard that their 'plan' had worked. This prompted all the students to continue making fun of her and ridiculing her right to her face. One day in primary school, the heater broke in the Killifish Aquarium, killing all killifishs while they were under Miyako's watch. Joining The Kazama FamilyĪs Miyako was yet to become a member of the Kazama Family, there was still a bit of distance between her and them, especially as Gakuto was influenced by the peers at their school to refer to her as the Shiina Virus. Even though she was not a member of the Kazama Family, Miyako was also invited to attend the event. Shouichi then made the Kazama Family promise that no matter where they were in life, that they would all meet and gather around the plant in another fifty years to witness the next blossoming. As the photo was taken, she stood close to Yamato. Yamato did so and calmly brought him over to join in the photo. Shouichi then ordered Yamato to bring her over as Shouichi felt she was scared of Yamato. As Gakuto's mother came over to take a picture of the Kazama Family in front of the plant, she was once again spotted and was asked to join them in the photo as she helped protect the plant. The next day, Miyako came across the Kazama Family viewing the century plant after it had blossomed, with Momoyo saying it was an ugly plant. As soon as they did all they could, the Kazama Family all went to their respected houses, with all of them getting into trouble from their parents. Yamato took Miyako by the hand and gave her his rain coat and she assisted them in reinforcing the plant. Figuring that the more people who helped, the better, Shouichi's ordered Yamato to look after Miyako. She would then be spotted by the Kazama Family who braved the storm in order to reinforce the century plant so it could withstand the weather. Caught in the storm and alone, Miyako huddled in a shaded corner in order to avoid the worsening weather. The next day, there would be a huge storm in Kawakami City and Miyako, thinking about the Kazama Family, was already waiting by the century plant by the time the storm hit. This would lead Yamato to believe that she had a crush on Shouichi, who rejected the idea as he found girls liking boys to be weird. As Miyako was spotted by Yamato, Gakuto identified her as the Shiina Virus, leading to her running away. One day, Miyako would observe the Kazama Family gathering around the century plant, and overhear their plan to witness the plant when it had fully blossomed. Miyako was usually caught as she observed them, leading to her running away when she was noticed.

Due to this constant harassment, times became very tough for her as she had no friends to rely on due to her shyness and bad reputation.Īt some point, she developed an interest in the Kazama Family who are Shouichi Kazama, Yamato Naoe, Gakuto Shimazu, Takuya Morooka, Kazuko Okamoto and Momoyo Kawakami. She was then given the nickname "Shiina Virus" from her bullies, and the name eventually spread, leading to bad reputation for her. During her youth, Miyako was the kind of girl who was constantly picked on with the reasons for why varying from her skinniness to the negative reputation of her mother. Miyako is the daughter of an archer and a prostitute.
