The Summer Hikaru Died Wiki

The Company ( (かい) (しゃ) , Kaisha?) is an organization in The Summer Hikaru Died.

Description[]

Known Members[]

Objective[]

The Company's primary goal is searching for and obtaining Illegitimates, an end that workers are prepared to sacrifice a great deal for, including life or limb. Satou and Tanaka describe the Company's intentions in opposite ways: According to Satou, the Company's primary goal is to use the abilities of Illegitimates for the benefit of humanity.[1]

Case AA-104 deals with the Illegitimate that appeared in Kubitachi.[2] Because the Company does not have way of permanently containing Illegitimates, they intend to somehow convince it to come with them by choice rather than take it by force.[1]

Resources and Abilities[]

Members of the Company use a variety of tools, aides, and techniques while dealing with entities from The Other Side. With additional resources, even individuals that have no spiritual abilities can work for The Company.

  • Sunglasses: Tanaka is blind in both eyes due to a spiritual impairment inflicted by an impurity. The Company provided him a pair of sunglasses that "more or less" allow him to see.[3]
  • Barriers: A barrier that repels impurities and Illegitimates can be set up by exchanging an organ.[4]
  • Hamster: The hamster that Tanaka carries with him contains the soul of a human child, which allows it to sense impurities.[5]
  • Vocalization: Tanaka can use a special vocalization technique so that his voice can reach impurities.[6][7]
  • Shielding Cloth: A large tarp used to temporarily restrain an Illegitimate.[1]
