Miyahara, Hitomi

Biografía

[Spoiler] Her real name is Yuuji Fukunaga.

A trans woman who first appears in Round II, where she's under the alias of Hitomi Miyahara (Hitomi is her friend for whom she substitutes as player No. 3). Sly and calculating and also a 5th degree black belt, Fukunaga is a skilled manipulator whose greatest weakness appears to be her desire for money and her bad temper. She greatly hinders Nao and Akiyama during Round II and the Revival Round, but has never been able to outwit Akiyama. However, Fukunaga cooperates with them well during Round III and even when she finishes the round debt-free, she chooses to continue in the tournament. During Revival Round II, she disguises herself wearing a long, blonde wig again. To avoid revealing her skills during the mock stimulation, she sends Nao in her place, matching Solario's expectations. Though Fukunaga seems fond of Nao in her own way, she doesn't think of her as competent. [/Spoiler]

[Spoiler] In chapter 83, Nao comes to the conclusion that Fukunaga has a crush on Akiyama. [/Spoiler]

[Spoiler] She is eliminated in the final revival round and is unable to take part in the final round of the Liar Game. It is revealed to Nao by Kaneko Mizuki that Fukunaga tried to do what Nao would have done and save everyone, but suffered a crushing defeat by Yokoya's hand. By the end of the manga she thinks very highly of Nao. [/Spoiler]
