Now that this is its own article, should we slap a spoiler warning on it and no longer censor such things? Due to the nature of Higurashi, it would allow us to provide significantly more pertinent information on the role of the characters, especially the minor ones. - Seventh Holy Scripture 17:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Why did you delete my info about Hanyuu? It was correct that she is Oyashiro-sama. -_-; -- 88.212.20.67 22:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
It's mentioned in the TIPS that Rena's real name is Reina (礼奈) [1]. I'm just not sure where to put that. Next to her name? NiraGreen 19:45, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
A sentence in Mion's description, "She is often seen with a holstered airsoft gun." is marked as citation needed when she's seen with it for like half an entire part of original game...I can't really see why citation tag has to be in there or am I missing something? - 58.0.213.1 10:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Due to these three images from the PS2 version: Keichi, Rena, and Satoko, I am changing their romanizations accordingly.-- 十 八 15:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't really think it's necessary to copy those here... maybe the first paragraph, but the rest is largely summarized straight from the information already in this article. Is it customary to have a opening summary like that in character-list articles? - Seventh Holy Scripture 16:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Would it be better to move Hanyuu up to the main character section? While she doesnt appear until the last few arcs, she's far from minor. I'm also debating this with Takano as well, but it's less likely for her. 74.72.13.158 21:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand the shuffling of images that has been going on in this article. Are we attempting to comply better with WP:NFCC #3 by using a group image instead of the individual portraits? If so, could a better quality image of the group be found? Image:Higurashi_main_characters.jpg is rather blurry and lacking contrast. - Seventh Holy Scripture 05:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Ages are not listed for any of the characters, were they present in any sources? Tyciol ( talk) 03:05, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
This refers to Oyashiro as male, but shouldn't it be female? In the sound novels, according to the translations I've seen which are pretty accurate, Oyashiro is referred to as female by Rena. Also, shouldn't they notice Hanyuu's female? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.15.12 ( talk • contribs)
It should be female, I remember Hanyuu said Oyashiro was a woman in her life.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.198.103 ( talk) 22:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm quite astonished to find such kind of information all of a sudden, regarding Mion, Shion, Hanyuu and Bernkastel. These are as follow:
So far, I strongly believe that none of these were actually from any TIPS of the original game or PS2 (Bernkastel comment doesn't make any sense with Saikoroshi-hen, by the way). I might be wrong, but an appropriate source should be provided. In the meantime, I think removing these parts is the best action available right now, which I did. Please feel free to discuss about them or reverse it, as long as you provide source and convincing references (original japanese text, etc). Klashikari ( talk) 17:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
When does Satoko end her sentences with that, I've never heard it 98.14.15.12 ( talk) 03:04, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
The top of the page states that Keiichi is the main protagonist, but isn't Rika the main protagonist of the series? Keiichi's section correctly states that he is the protagonist for the first three question arcs, but the top of the page implies that he is the main protagonist of the entire series. Rika, on the other hand, could easily be considered as the series protagonist, as she is the only one who remembers the parallel universes and is trying to "defeat fate". Moreover, it is her death that gives birth to new universes, thanks to Hanyu. Perhaps we should change the top section in a way that doesn't state Keiichi as the main protagonist, and in Rika's section, mention that she is later revealed to be the protagonist of the series. Renian ( talk) 21:19, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
This is a category under manga and under DS-exclusive, is there some way to differentiate the title so the same one is not duplicated? What I was thinking was: for DS-exclusive, each of the 3 categories only has a single character, so is it possible we actually don't need separate categories for Yoigoshi or even the unique Kageboshi and Tokihogushi? It would make sense if there were more than one DS-exclusive character for these, but as long as there is only one listed, why not just make the character's name as the category and mention under their description which arc they appear in? Tyciol ( talk) 03:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Should we add a short paragraph about Ouka? She's Hanyuu's daughter and appeared in episode 4 of Higurashi Rei and in a TIPS in the PS2 game (where her whole face was shown). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.37.172 ( talk) 01:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't we add several other characters that appeared in Kai, like Okonogi? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.110.177.184 ( talk) 17:08, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Based on WP:MOS-ANIME#Characters where it states Characters should be identified by the names used in the official English releases of the series., the name should be romanized as Hojo, not Houjou, as Hojo is the official spelling of the name.-- 十 八 23:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
As some of us (and you) may know, MangaGamer is releasing an official English translation of the original sound novels under the title of "Higurashi When They Cry." Because it's official, the spellings of the names provided must also be official by my judgment. The only problem is that I don't know how such works would be cited. I do know some of the name spellings are listed on MangaGamer's official website, and those are used in this game, but there are only so many of those.
I also know that the English translation uses the Japanese order of naming, but it's already been unquestionably established that the English ordering must be used on Wikipedia, so that is not an issue.
Furthermore, should this article (and all articles relating primarily to the Higurashi sound novel) be renamed to replace "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" with "Higurashi When They Cry"? Immblueversion ( talk) 21:48, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
"In a fight with Shion, Rika eventually turns mad and quickly elevates to stage 3, 4 and 5 of Hinamizawa Syndrome which, makes her commit suicide by stabbing herself in the head many times till she drops dead."
This isn't true. She doesn't turn mad, and she kills herself because Shion was threatening to torture and then kill her and she preferred a quick exit. 213.249.135.36 ( talk) 18:38, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
For the Steam translation of the Higurashi When They Cry Hou games, there are Us in the characters' names (i.e. Jirou Tomitake, Satoko Houjou). Why don't we use that romanization, since it's the most recent? After all, it was officially published by MangaGamer, who made the previous romanization rules, as stated on the page.
