Tsuneo Ohta

The leader of a group of fishermen on Yamijima Island and also a sworn protector of the cursed island (Amimoto). He lived/lives there with his daughter Tomoe. In 1976, he becomes aware that Kanae has washed up on the island and, due to rumours and personal beliefs, he brands her a witch. On a fateful night, he orders his fishermen to watch Kanae, and he himself witnesses Kanae over Ryuhei's bloody corpse with a blood-stained knife in her hand. He and his followers (his daughter included) chase Kanae and Shu to the lighthouse, but a landslide causes the pair to fall into the sea. Tsuneo and company think it's over but a massive, red tsunami engulfs them all, causing a time fold.

Due to the time fold, he is encountered in the present by Shigeru Fujita and Ichiko Yagura. Tsuneo recovers but then promptly dies and becomes a shibito, pursuing Shigeru and Ichiko. Later on, he becomes a kou-yamibito and is destroyed with his Mekkoju branch by Mamoru Itsuki. He is also the man who enter Shu's house, But is quickly chased out by a shibito of Shu's Father.
