Hasegawa
Hasegawa
Hasegawa is the father of Konoko (Mai). Really; very little is explained in-game about Hasegawa as a character, though it is his actions that dictate what happened in Oni.
He was a teacher at a University (presumably teaching biology) and fell in love with one of his students, Jamie Kerr ("Jamie Hasegawa, maiden name Jamie Kerr"). Jamie is Kerr's sister. Hasegawa and Jamie had two children, Mai and Muro.
After an unknown period of time Jamie "converted" Hasegawa to her political beliefs. That the WCG were hiding something. Still images from the first cutscene of CHAPTER 11 . DREAM DIVER show several protests and Jamie participating in them. As an act of defiance against the WCG - and a quest for scientific knowlege- Jamie and Hasegawa entered the so called "wilderness preserve", where Jamie received a scrath that turned infectious, causing great pain to her. The only thing Hasegawa could do was "ease her pain", at which point a gunshot is heard.
A newspaper that has the headlines "Grad Student dies: murder or mercy?" is shown, leaving us to extrapolate that Hasegawa killed Jamie.
In CHAPTER 12 . SINS OF THE FATHER, Kerr reveals that he and Hasegawa worked on the Daodan project together, but were seperated during a Syndicate raid on their lab.
Hasegawa's final fate remains unclear.

- Doctor Jumba Jookiba, you stand before this council accused of illegal genetic experimentation!
- Grand Councilwoman
- How do you plead?
- Jumba
- Not guilty! My experiments are only theoretical, and completely within legal boundaries.
- Grand Councilwoman
- We believe you actually... created something.
- Jumba
- Created something? Hah! But that would be irresponsible and unethical. I would never, ever...
