Toya Hachijo

Toya Hachijo is implied to be the real author of forgeries about the Rokkenjima murders, since Banquet of the Golden Witch, which were his way to cope with the memories. Together, with Ikuko Hachijo, they share the alias of "Toya Hachijo" and "Itouikukuro." Toya was found on the road by Ikuko Hachijo after the Rokkenjima incident. He was Battler Ushiromiya once, but after receiving brain damage from being hit by a car or from almost drowning, he suffered from amnesia. The accident made him unable to think of Battler's memories as his own. He began to recover his memories as Battler upon hearing of the Rokkenjima incident from Ikuko, but develops a personality disorder; he fears that, one day, Battler's personality may seize control of him. Toya is an amnesiac character. He does not know who he is at first, but eventually developed a sense of identity under Ikuko's care. He later on became interested in the mystery genre. When his past memories return, he became scared that Battler, his former self, would take over him, thus "killing" him. Because of this, at one point, he tried to commit suicide. This was due to the results of the aftereffects of the damage in his brain, wherein he can't think of those memories as his own. Eventually, he began to acknowledge that he is not Battler Ushiromiya anymore, but an individual known as "Toya Hachijo." But despite this, he felt that since Battler Ushiromiya was inside him, it was his responsibility to meet Ange. He was at the same time afraid that if he met Ange, he would "die." Because of this, he refused to meet Ange in 1998, but at the same time, regretted his actions, as he believed that if he had met her earlier, she and the Battler inside him might not have suffer for all those years. He was also apologetic toward this issue as well. At one point, Toya attempted suicide. As a result, he is forced to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. At the end of the Magic Ending in Twilight of the Golden Witch, it's implied that Battler finally "died" and Toya could start living without the burden of Battler.
