Hitomi

is one of Sōta Higurashi's classmates and his first girlfriend.

History
Hitomi was supposedly a beautiful, well-liked girl in Sōta's class. Sōta harbored a crush on her. She didn't know of his feelings for her, so when he had asked her to meet outside of the school one afternoon, she didn't know what to expect. She unknowingly crushed his spirit when she told him she didn't like people who couldn't just come out and say what they had to say. That same evening, at the park, Sōta finally gathered the courage to tell Hitomi he had feelings for her, and Hitomi was very shocked. Then, Hitomi told Sōta that she would be his girlfriend. They two of them hugged each other and they became a couple.

Hitomi and Sōta were later seen together at an amusement park. They were talking and eating triple-scoop ice creams. She made Sōta's face turn red when she suddenly hooked arms with him.

Personality
Sōta said that she was supposedly very nice and extremely smart. She was often seen in a group of girls, laughing and seeming to be very social. Hitomi was very straightforward. She also didn't like boys who couldn't just come out and say what they wanted.

Physical description
Hitomi was a typical girl of eight or nine years old. She had shoulder-length brown hair that was voluminous and full of waves. She had healthy skin and big, dark eyes that were blue.

Outfit
She was seen wearing a white blouse with a yellow jacket-like top over the blouse. The jacket-like top had buttons running down it (though they weren't buttoned) and a bow was tied at the neck. She wore a pink skirt that stopped above her knees.

Trivia

 * The only other time Hitomi made an appearance, other than the episode she was introduced in, was during the credits in the original series' last episode.
 * Her name, which means "eyes", is a very fitting name because Sōta had once mentioned that she had the largest and most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.
