No.7 Hanako-san of the Toilet



The 7th school mystery is Hanako.

Hanako-san or Hanako-san of the Toilet is a well known Japanese urban legend about a spirit of a young girl who haunts the girl's bathroom. The usual rumor about Hanako-san is that calling her name would cause her to appear and reply back.

Some say that she

However in Kamome Gakuen, Hanako-san, unlike the well-known version of the story, is a young boy instead of a young girl. Other than his gender, everything that the Kamome Gakuen's 7 mystery rumors say are true.

Hanako's rumor was told first, and is said to be the most famous one out of all seven. Although the Yen Press translation describes Hanako-san as a 'her', the Japanese version does not say anything about the ghost being a girl. The assumption of Hanako-san being a girl comes from the fact that he haunts the girl's toilet.
