Yandere-chan's mom Is the Yandere girl that ruined the journalist... Ryoba's last name is Aishi. Yandere-chan's placeholder name is Ayano Aishi. Ryoba was mentioned in Basement Tape #1 to be against The Journalist. The Journalist has never seen Ryoba before the events of the Mysterious Tapes and has no relation to her. Even if The Journalist doesn't hang around his own daughter much I think that he would notice if it was his daughter...

The journalist was married and had a child after the events of the killing of the Phantom Girl in the 1980's. He had to depend on his future wife after the events because he couldn't support himself because of the incident, the journalist can't be related to Ryoba nor Yan-chan.
