Past: A boy raised as a replacement for his older sister, whom his parents could not forget after she died in an accident. He was forced to wear his sister's red backpack, use her belongings, and was greeted every day with "Welcome home" (Okaeri). Eventually, he could no longer remember his own name or who he was. Rumors: He appears before a single person on their way home at twilight. "If a boy with a red backpack calls out 'Welcome home!' to you in the evening, do not look back." "If you start meeting him every day, on the final day, 'someone' will surely walk you all the way to your house." Apparition: He appears before a single person on their way home at twilight. "Welcome home!" He speaks with a smile and begins walking home with them for many days. He never attempts to enter the house. However, one day he suddenly disappears. From 그날 on, the person who used to walk home with "Okaeri-kun" begins waiting for someone at the spot where he used to be.

Name: Unknown Nickname: Mikaeri-kun (Looking Back Boy) Age: Unknown (Looks about 5th grade) Gender: Male Height: 140cm Cause of Death: Completely unknown. Even if asked, he only says, "I don't remember." Likes: Twilight, hide-and-seek, talking Dislikes: Family, love, happiness Personality: A friendly boy who talks casually even to strangers. He is always smiling and possesses a child-like innocence. However, behind that smile, he deeply hates humans. He makes no effort to help even if someone is in trouble, laughing and saying, "Nobody's going to help anyway, right?" He rarely speaks about his past, and if asked, he evades the question by saying, "I don't remember things from a long time ago." Past: He grew up being abused by his family since he was young. To him, "home" was not a place of safety, but a place of nothing but terror. The adults around him must have noticed something was wrong, yet no one helped him. From that day on, he ceased to believe in the existence of humans altogether. Rumors: "Even if your name is called from behind on a night road, you must never look back." "If there is a boy with a black backpack when you look back, you can never go home again." Apparition: While walking alone on a night road, you hear someone's voice from behind. "Hey." "Wait." "You dropped something." When you turn around at the voice, a boy wearing Showa-era clothing is standing there. He reaches out his hand with a smile and says, "Let's go home together."
