Ayano's Cousin is the daughter of Ryoba's Sister. She has already "won" her Senpai, making her a potential mentor to her cousin, Ayano Aishi.
Appearance[]
Current[]
The cousin has black hair with dyed[1] carmine red ends that start fading at her eyebrow, and is cut slightly above her shoulders. She has side-swept bangs that cover her left eye partially. She has gray eyes and wears plum purple lipstick. She appears to be well-defined, evident by her slim figure and visible abs.
The cousin dons herself in many flashy and chain-like clothing. She wears an open, zipperless black leather jacket with a dirty purple inner lining that has a diamond pattern reading "bite me" faintly. A belt can be seen unbuckled and looped around her jacket. Under her jacket is an ash-pink crop-top with a thin chain attached to a small keychain in her right jacket pocket, and a mesh that reaches to her collarbone. There is a chain on the right shoulder that loosely hoops around the arm. She wears dark, ripped gray jeans with a studded belt that connects one chain looped to make it look like there are two, and a fitted black thigh strap. She wears a smaller strap above her right ankle, with a few decorative chains. Her ankle boots with chunky heels are mainly in black with a dirty purple lining on the edges and heels.
The cousin has many accessories. She wears a merlot red earring in the shape of a 3D diamond that is found on her right ear. She also wears multiple necklaces, with one being a choker with a merlot red jewel that is in the shape of a 3D tear drop, a silver chain with a coffin shape and a cross symbol, and an unnoticeable black mesh choker. She wears black finger gloves with studded wrists. Her fingernails are painted with a pattern of black and coral red, and she wears a lot of silver rings on many different fingers. She wears two plain hoop bracelets on her right wrist and a thick strap on her left wrist.
In her other outfit variants, she has her leather jacket off, revealing more of her mesh shirt. The two differences between the outfit variants are the color of her crop top, as one variant depicts her with a black top, while the other one keeps her ash-pink top.
Previous[]
Medibang Mode used Ayano's cousin's old appearance as a placeholder for the time of the medibang contest happening. Typing 'MEDIBANG' in-game would change Kokuma Jutsu into her. Due to that, Ayano's cousin would reuse Kokuma's daily routine, her persona, conversational topics, and her student profile. She would also have her choker and eyes; however, this was most likely an oversight.
This variation of Ayano's cousin included gray hair with a right pigtail and a small tilt in the bangs. She had black eyes that faded to gray and noticeable eyelashes. She wore black lipstick and had a small choker that was held by a silver hoop. She wore gloves with a lot of silver rings and fingernails painted in pink. She wore a gray leather jacket with a dull ash-pink crop-top that had a black, thick chain starting from her left side. She also wore scuffed black jeans with a plain black belt and boots with slim heels.
In her previous illustration, she wore fingerless black gloves.
Personality[]
Ayano's mother, Ryoba, has a sister who found her Senpai in the year 1994.
Most Aishi choose to start a family very soon after finding their Senpai. Ryoba and her sister are two noteworthy exceptions; both of them waited more than a decade before they finally decided to have children.
Ayano's cousin was born one year before her. She has already found her Senpai and entered a relationship with him. She has extensive knowledge about how to commit murder and get away with it - moreso than most other Aishi.
The first woman to be born with the Aishi Condition lived in the early 1800s. She was nearly emotionless, and was almost completely apathetic; more like a statue or a doll than a living being. However, with each new generation, the Aishi Condition weakens and becomes a lesser version of what it originally was. Each new generation of Aishi has a greater capacity to feel emotions and develop a personality. As the years pass, each new generation of Aishi is less like the original.
The one exception to this is Ayano, who is the first Aishi in centuries to experience the Aishi Condition almost as acutely as her ancestor from the 1800s. She does not express emotions or demonstrate a personality unless it's necessary to do so in order to "fit in" with the rest of society. Some of Ryoba's family members have theorized that this is because Ryoba waited so long to have children. However, that theory cannot possibly be correct, because there is a strong piece of counter-evidence: Ayano's cousin.
Ayano's cousin is from the same "generation" as Ayano, and her mother also waited many years to give birth. However, Ayano's cousin has a very distinct personality, and is extremely expressive. This debunks the theory that an Aishi who waits a long time to have children is dooming their offspring to experience a stronger version of the Aishi Condition.
Her extraordinary expertise in getting away with crimes has caused her to develop a very high opinion of herself and her abilities. When in the company of other Aishi, she will often brag about her skills and boast about the many murders and other felonies that she will never be found guilty of. (Some of her family members find her smug and snarky personality to be distasteful, but they still respect her accomplishments.)
Ayano's cousin developed a strong interest in fashion, and will often mix-and-match elements of goth, punk, and emo fashion styles. She cannot feel comfortable without at least two colors of fingernail polish, three accessories around her neck, four belts somewhere on her body, and five chains incorporated into her outfit. She rejects all colors that are not black, red, or pink. Symmetry bores her to death.
Although most members of the Aishi family are murderers, many of them will only consider taking the life of another human being if it's necessary in order to prevent someone from taking their Senpai away from them. However, Ayano's cousin is different; she has a sadistic streak, and has been known to kill for personal reasons, rather than out of necessity. She does not respond well when she is treated with disrespect; people who are rude towards her often become the victims of very unfortunate "accidents."
When she is not spending time with her Senpai, she enjoys visiting other Aishi and giving them unsolicited criticism and advice. On many occasions, she has offered to train Ayano in the ways of murder. In the past, Ayano has always declined these offers. However, now that Ayano has met her Senpai, there is a possibility that she will contact her cousin and request her advice in the future...
Ayano's cousin's weakness is stated to be "arrogance" on the official website. It is also confirmed that many of her family members consider her to be "too arrogant and full of herself."[2]
She has a rebellious personality; She doesn't rebel against her parents, but against society "in general."[3]

- To access these tutorials, Ayano would call her cousin through the Aishi House, tell her cousin that she wants to meet her, and they would both meet in a big, empty parking lot.[6]
- Despite not being married, she plans to have kids with her Senpai.[8]
- She listens to Japanese alternative rock, visual kei, post-hardcore, gothic rock, industrial and dark electronic, trip-hop, and underground indie.[9]
- YandereDev designed the cousin's appearance by how he designs a "cool girl" character, naming a red-and-black color scheme and jacket as one of the common traits for such design.[10]
- She is the only known Aishi to eliminate 5 rivals instead of 10.[11]

Quotes[]
Holy crap, that was awful. Is your strategy to look so pathetic that your rivals feel sorry for you and just give you their Senpai?
Dozuki: Hey - what was your name, again? I'm thirsty.
Cousin: So? What are you telling me for? Go get a drink or something.
Dozuki: Excuse you! I'm your elder!
Cousin: Yeah, okay, but that doesn't mean I have to be your slave.
Dozuki: You should show proper respect to your elders!
Cousin: Maybe if you gave me a reason to respect you, I would.
Dozuki: Tch! How could your mother have failed so miserably at raising you?!
Cousin: Damn, you must have zero self-awareness to not realize how ironic that statement is, coming from you of all people.
Dozuki: What the hell is that supposed to mean?!
Cousin: Let's start at the beginning. If you want something, say please—you know, the basic manners that everyone else was taught back in elementary school.
Dozuki: I don't have to put up with this kind of disrespect from a brat like you!
Cousin: Disrespect? Asking people to say please is disrespectful? Man, you boomers are something else.
Dozuki: What the hell is a boomer?
Cousin: Ugh... I'm just going to get you a glass of water or something. You can't drink and talk at the same time, after all...
