Description
Sakiko Togawa, a first-year student at Haneoka Girls' High School, founded the symphonic metal band Ave Mujica. She serves as its keyboardist, composer, and producer under the stage name Oblivionis. Her surname means "abundant river," and her given name signifies "child of good fortune" or "blessed child."
Born into the wealthy Togawa family, Sakiko's life shifted when her mother, Mizuho, died during her middle school years. Shortly after, her father Kiyotsugu was disowned from the Togawa Group conglomerate following a 16.8 billion yen fraud scandal. They retreated to a dilapidated apartment where Kiyotsugu succumbed to severe alcoholism. Sakiko chose to remain with him despite her grandfather Sadaharu's offers, often retrieving her father from police custody.
Inspired by Morfonica at the Tsukinomori Music Festival during her third year of middle school, Sakiko later encountered Tomori Takamatsu. She composed a song based on Tomori's notes, forming CRYCHIC as leader, composer, and keyboardist. The band dissolved abruptly after their debut when Sakiko, distraught by a phone notification, announced her departure. She avoided her former bandmates, framing her exit as necessary destruction while privately harboring deep guilt.
Sakiko enrolled at Haneoka for its scholarship. Witnessing Tomori, Soyo, and Taki perform CRYCHIC's "Haruhikage" with MyGO!!!!! spurred her to form Ave Mujica. She recruited childhood friends Mutsumi Wakaba and Uika Misumi, alongside Umiri Yahata and Nyamu Yūtenji. As Oblivionis, she conceals her identity with an asymmetrical black lace mask adorned with gladioli. She directs Ave Mujica's lore, scripts their theatrical performances, and demands strict adherence to her vision, pursuing rapid commercial success as an escape. Her intense leadership causes friction as she pressures members to fully embody their personas.
Sakiko presents a polite, refined, and reserved exterior but guards her personal life closely. She distances herself from classmates and reacts coldly to former CRYCHIC members, particularly rejecting Soyo's reunion pleas. This contrasts her pre-trauma self, described as cheerful, charismatic, emotionally perceptive, and possessing a "sun-like" presence. Deeply affected by her mother's death, she keeps her favorite childhood doll—a gift from Mizuho—displayed at home. This doll accompanied her during summer visits to Uika's island for insect catching.
A significant revelation occurs when Sakiko discovers her cherished childhood memories of "Uika" actually involved Uika's cousin, Hatsune, who impersonated Uika during those summers. Their only confirmed shared memory is stargazing, as Hatsune disliked insects and activities Sakiko associated with "Uika." This discovery temporarily strains their relationship.
Sakiko exhibits musical talent, often playing piano in Haneoka's music room, performing pieces like Debussy's "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." Her character theme, "Precious Chamomile," symbolizes endurance against adversity. She uses the formal pronoun "watakushi."
Her grandfather attempted to send her to Europe to avoid family embarrassment, but she refused. Despite her diminished social standing, she invoked her Togawa family connection when confronting a production company executive to retain control over Ave Mujica's creative direction.
