Kayo Hinazuki

Kayo Hinazuki is a character from Kei Sanbe's mystery thriller manga Erased, also known by its original title The Town Where Only I Am Missing. She is an elementary school girl and apathetic loner who became the first victim of a series of child kidnapping murders on March 1998. When Kayo's former classmate Satoru Fujinuma experiences a massive "re-run" that sends him back to his childhood on February 1998, he befriends the girl in hopes of preventing her death, which becomes his most important objective.

In the fandom however, Kayo is largely known for giving the anime its infamous netorare reputation (rushed ending aside) because of a scene during the last third of the story, which betrayed many watchers who expected a Satoru x Kayo romance. This is because the two children grew attached to each other in the past, with the anime presenting plenty of "ship tease" moments together like them going on a "date", using first-name basis to each other, and Kayo calling Satoru "her hero".
