Hitomi Komura

Hitomi Komura (jpn, Komura Hitomi) is one of the main characters of Taffeta. She is the best friend of Chisato Araki and Rei Yanagi.

Appearance
Hitomi is a young girl with shoulder length pink hair styled with large buns and pink bows and pink eyes.

She is seen in her middle school uniform for most of the game.

Personality
Hitomi is an energetic and kind girl. She is a relatively good student, despite her lack of concern with studying. She is sometimes detrimentally clumsy, constantly spilling food on herself or falling and injuring herself. She grew up without her mother and has younger sisters that she looks after most days while her father works. As a result, she is an incredibly hardworker with many skills. She is terrible with directions and almost achingly frugal.

History
Her mother passed away when she was 4 years old after giving birth to her younger twin sisters. She met Chisato and Rei in their elementary school class and they bonded over their shared interest in anime, video games, and movies. They ended up going to the same middle school and, in their second year, they decide to join the Hakone Junior High Sewing Club. There, she meets Ayako Higashi, Naoki Hagiwara, and Roka Nishio, all of whom she befriends. She also becomes close with the sewing club's staff advisor, Nozomi Inoue.

Plot
The week before the 'Hakone Junior High Cultural Festival', the sewing club begins doing hands-on research for their decided theme, "The Spirit of Hakone". This hands-on research consists, mainly, of slacking off on sewing and participating in a test of courage in an attempt to find ghosts or yokai. Nozomi brings in a special fabric for the club to use in sewing one of the most famous local myths, the Kuzuryu. A multi-colored iridescent silk named taffeta, which the club members are taken with, especially Chisato. The same night that the club is introduced to the fabric, they go on their last test of courage at Chisato's behest. Roka was set to retire from the club after the cultural festival and Chisato reasoned that this was their last chance to make memories as a club unless they all went to the same high school and then started crying, which was unusual for her. Everyone comforted her and asked if that was the reason that she kept asking them to do tests of courage and she admitted that, yes, that was the case. Despite Roka's annoyance and Rei's disdain for this activity, everyone agrees. They all go to an old alleyway which is stated to be haunted according to online forums and do their last test of courage. Chisato and Roka go last and during their turn, Chisato sees a familiar sheet of taffeta spread on the side of a shop. The fabric forms itself into a portal and Chisato cannot resist its call. It is unknown specifically how it happened, but all of the club members ended up following her into the portal. This is referred to as 'The Incident '. The rest of the game takes place inside of the Taffeta.
