Sonoko Sakanoue [_Yandere Simulator_]

Sonoko Sakanoue is the tenth and final rival, as well as one of the female students who attended Akademi in 1980s Mode. Following the game's storyline, she was Ryoba's eleventh and final rival.

Among the Personas that are currently implemented in the game, Sonoko is Lovestruck. Unlike the other rivals, she will push Ryoba Aishi away if she gets too close and spray her with pepper spray if she attempts to kill her without stealth or gets too close five times in a row. She behaves like the Student Council members, but if she witnesses Ryoba commit murder, she will take a photo of her, similar to the Sleuth persona, and run to show it to The Journalist, causing an automatic Game Over. But if Ryoba tries to chase her down with a weapon, Sonoko will pepper spray her without hesitation.

In addition to being a detective at Akademi, Sonoko also asked a group of students to follow her with a camera during her week, in case something happens to her.

Judging by her expression, which is shown in her artwork, she seems to be serious. She can also be considered helpful, as she's trying to help her mentor solve the current problem of "something bad happening to girls who had a crush on a boy."

Sonoko appears to speak formally at times, as shown when she talks with Jokichi Yudasei during her week.

According to Sonoko's diary, she was a juvenile delinquent, implying that she has a criminal record, but she reformed at some point. As a delinquent, she was not as violent to other people, but sometimes engaged in fights.

Her gray ankle socks represent her dark past, specifically a very dark secret that has yet to be revealed

From 1985 to 1988, police were perplexed by a string of seemingly unsolvable murders taking place in Tokyo. After each murder, the police received an anonymous letter from a man who claimed responsibility for the crimes, and spelled the name of his next victim using a complicated cipher.

Eventually, the police started releasing the killer's letters to the public in the hopes that someone would be able to solve the killer's cipher and decode the name of his next victim. While attending Akademi in 1988, Sonoko Sakanoue started studying the killer's cipher as a hobby.

After many long nights, Sonoko cracked the code and figured out killer's cipher. She was then able to warn the police who the killer was planning to kill next. After this, the police acknowledged her as a prodigy who could potentially help them solve the case, and formally requested her assistance with the investigation, even granting her access to the crime scenes and evidence.

Sonoko discovered several new clues and put together some puzzle pieces that the police weren't able to figure out on their own, which eventually led to the arrest of the serial killer. If it wasn't for her help, the killer might have taken dozens of lives before he was eventually caught.

Once her accomplishments were announced to the public, Sonoko instantly became a national celebrity, and was interviewed by countless talk shows and magazines.

The primary reason to attend Akademi is to further one's changes of a successful career. However, Sonoko's accomplishments had already done more for her future career than Akademi ever could, so remaining at Akademi was pointless. Sonoko withdrew from the school without graduating and launched directly into a career as a junior detective. Over the course of the next 12 months, she would help the police solve numerous high-profile crimes.

One day, while investigating a crime, Sonoko encountered an investigative journalist who provided her with information that helped her solve the case. Sonoko was so impressed with the journalist's investigative abilities that she asked him to take her as his apprentice.

Sonoko and the journalist worked together as a crime-solving duo, leading to the arrests of numerous criminals. The journalist preferred to stay out of the spotlight, willfully letting Sonoko take all the credit.

One day, Sonoko's mentor asked her to return to Akademi - but not to finish her education. He wanted her to investigate the possibility that a serial killer was present at Akademi, killing any girl who attempted to get close to a specific boy.

Sonoko accepted the job, and has come up with a plan to determine whether or not anyone is sabotaging the boy's love life...

( Became a minor celebrity after she helped the police solve a murder mystery last year. Graduated from Akademi early to become a junior detective. Apparently, that man in the trench coat outside the school is her mentor. )
