Everywhere you look now a days, you will see a sign against bullying and abuse. This is a good thing. We don't need another Hikiko-san roaming the world. Bullying and abuse are bad enough without that.
Hikiko-san is a young girl. She gets beaten by her parents at home, causing her to be slightly deformed. This deformity causes Hikiko-san to be bullied by her classmates. One day, it all became too much for her and she committed suicide, though some say she was killed by her father. Either way, the girl comes back as a human hating spirit.
It is said that one of the boys from Hikiko's class saw her spirit after her death. She was dragging the lifeless body of one of her tormentors behind her. When he told the police about it, Hikiko-san killed him that same night.
Another story goes that she would attack entire school, decapitating people or pulling off their limbs. She would drag the bodies or limbs behind her, covering the walls and floor in blood. Anyone unfortunate to enter the building during one of these attacks becomes one of the dead. Afterwards, the school would be shut down and abandoned.
Because Hikiko-san is recognized for her long black hair that often hangs in front of her face, she became the inspiration for Samara (Sadako Yamamura) in the Ring trilogy. (The Ring, The Ring Two, and The Rings)
I recently saw a movie called Shin Hikiko-san. Do you know of other movies based on her?
ReplyDeleteyeah its free on youtube
DeleteIs this legend even true?
DeleteNah it's probably fake like the other legends
Deleteidk-
DeleteLike most legends and myths, there is often a grain of truth in there.
DeleteFor instance, unicorns are depicted as horses with a horn but when they were first talked about, they were rather chunky and didn't resemble a horse at all. Today, we know that the first instance of a unicorn was actually a miss classification of a rhino.
My guess is that an unknown young girl had been found after she killed herself. If they couldn't find a reason behind the apparent suicide, then rumors start to follow. Eventually, a name and story develop around the girl, growing from logical guesses to the story above. This is how some urban legends take form. A tragedy and people's need to explain why it happened. But it is the creepy tails, the ones used to scare children into listening, that seem to stick around.
Urban Legend Story Hikiko. it's a 3d movie
ReplyDeleteOh so hikiko is evil...I thought he was a chain letter that wasn't real xD
ReplyDeleteAre there any anime based off of Hikiko-san?
ReplyDeleteあなたは今夜死ぬ
ReplyDeleteいいえ、私は昨日亡くなった
ReplyDeleteOK, so now there are two monsters that inspired Samara? At first I Thought it was Sadako, the story I read said so, but now apparently both Sadako and Hikiko inspired her??
ReplyDeleteGood legend anyway 😀😀
You're right that Sadako inspired Samara (the American movie is basically a ripped-off, somewhat dumbed-down version of the Japanese original movie) but it's far older than that. Japanese onryo (vengeful spirits like Sadako, Kayako etc) have been portrayed as dressed in white with long, tangled black hair since at least the 1600s.
DeleteIt's like ghosts in Western culture are often portrayed as looking like they did at the moment of death (Pascow in Pet Sematary, Banquo in Macbeth etc). Japanese women were always buried in white kimonos, and their hair was always taken out and left loose.
Sadako is the original Japanese character in Ringu. The Ring is the American adaptation/rip-off of the Ring and Samara is the American edition of Sadako. But Hikiko was the inspiration behind Sadako/Samara.
