Inkyu Basu is one of the female students who currently attends Akademi.
Appearance[]
Current[]
Inkyu has dull pink-purplish hair tied into shoulder-length loose curly twintails held by bat-shaped bowties. Her twintail curls can be seen coiling around her pigtails. She has three sectioned bangs with a little black tie on the right of her bangs. She has similar colored eyebrows to her hair, bright teal eyes and pink lipstick. She uses the "Girly" animations and has a bust size of 1.
She wears the default school uniform with stockings that are black up to her mid thighs with a branch-like pattern lined with a purple section with a hint of pink unless customized by the player. The stockings are really just her demonic physical appearance sliding down onto her legs, so that her legs are covered. She can then pass them off as stockings to other people.[3]
In her demonic form, Inkyu's is half nude, with black clothing covering 2/3 of her breasts, hips to inner thighs, collar bone, sides of her arm and her upper arms. There is a dusty purple outline with the black base, also seen puffed out sharply around her armhole. Her chest is exposed in a heart shape, and the sleeves end before her elbows, with the fabric made to look widened. She has vampire grey-purple fabric covering the sides of her waist, leaving the front and back exposed. On her collar, she dons a butterscotch yellow star shaped jewel, which is floating in front of her. Her short shorts have a lace pattern at the bottom of the outline, and her stockings fully cover her mid thighs and feet. Said stockings also have a heel shape at the soles of the feet. She has big, black outlined wings with a soft thunder pinkish-red to purplish grey gradient.
She uses a special idle animation near the end of the dialogue cutscene, where her shoulder and hips can be seen dramatically swaying side to side and her legs swaying slightly.
Previous[]
Before the November 15th, 2024 build, Inkyu's demonic form was half nude, with curved black detailing covering her breasts, pelvis, and partial neck, chest and hips, similarly to her older sister. The Mountbatten pink detailing could be seen in huge blocks around her entire torso. She had a butterscotch gold heart-shaped necklace, which is linked to her black choker. Inkyu also had dull pink bat wings with sharp black outlines.
Before the October 31st, 2024 build, she had mid-back-length hot pink hair in two thick pigtails held by fluffy black scrunchies and turquoise eyes. She used catlike contact lenses and wore light blue and light pink eyeshadow. Her lip gloss was light pink, and she had a mole on the left side of her chin. She previously had purple thigh-high stockings with pink flames at the top. Inkyu's mole was intentionally removed in order to not replicate her base asset model.[4]
Personality[]
Sakyu Basu and her younger half-sister, Inkyu Basu, are a pair of young women who recently enrolled in Akademi. Their scores on the entrance exam were exceptionally high, as if they possessed knowledge far beyond their apparent ages. However, after classes began, their academic performance dropped to an average level, as if they were attempting to avoid drawing attention to themselves.
Sakyu's calm and mature nature contrasts greatly against the energetic and childlike behavior of her younger sister. Although both young women are friendly enough when approached by others, they usually keep to themselves, preferring each other's company above anything else. Despite their friendly demeanor, there are many students at Akademi who feel inexplicably intimidated by them.
When asked why they chose to attend Akademi, they always provide the same answer: "We're looking for something." This woefully short reply is far too vague to adequately satisfy the curiosity of anyone who wants to learn more about them. However, no matter how much they are begged to elaborate, they refuse to say anything more about their intentions at Akademi.
It may be worth noting that, on one occasion, when asked why she chose to attend Akademi, Inkyu misspoke. Instead of giving the usual answer - "We're looking for something" - she instead said something else:
"We're looking for someone."
There is no shortage of books in the world that seek to enthrall the reader with fantastical stories of supernatural beings. These books are widely regarded as fairy tales for the entertainment of small children. But, on rare occasion, one might discover a book which emphatically insists that the beings from these stories are not inventions of human imagination, but truly did exist.
This type of book - often at the cost of the author's credibility and reputation - makes the outlandish claim that mankind once shared the world with a wide variety of supernatural creatures who existed in significant numbers. However, these creatures could only subsist on human flesh, making co-existence impossible. Thus, the creatures were hunted down, nearly to complete extinction.
Because these supernatural creatures disintegrated upon death, no credible physical evidence of their existence remains, aside from a small number of contemporary paintings that allegedly depict these creatures, and written accounts of supposed encounters with these creatures - all of which have long been debunked and discredited by academic communities.
And yet, despite the dubious nature of these claims, there are those who choose to believe them. "Occult Researchers" - existing in small numbers, shunned by the rest of society - dedicate their lives to seeking empirical evidence of demons, ghosts, succubi, vampires, zombies, and any other type of supernatural being that is regarded as fictional by the rest of society.
According to the legends that these researchers believe, these supernatural beings posed such a threat to mankind that grand academies were built to teach young men and women the skills they would need to slay monsters - including, by some accounts, actual magic spells. As usual, there is no physical evidence to support the notion that these "monster slayer academies" truly existed.
Supposedly, Japan was once terrorized by paranormal beasts known as "Oni" until the 1800s, when a pair of elite monster slayers from the west arrived in Japan through supernatural means, and became almost single-handedly responsible for wiping out the entire monster population. This claim is not taken seriously by the Occult Research community, who have found countless holes in the story.
Regardless of what is true or untrue, there is a portion of the population - however small - who remains convinced that supernatural creatures not only exist, but sometimes walk among us, masquerading as humans. Succubi and vampires - the most humanoid of all supernatural beings - have the highest chance of escaping notice...if one chooses to believe in such things in the first place.
It is said that the only way to identify a non-human is to examine their pupils for unusual shapes...but, with the rising popularity of Saikou-brand cosmetic contact lenses, it is increasingly common for people to display unusually shaped pupils, thus making it unconventional to attempt to "identify a supernatural being" by simply pointing out the shape of a person's pupils.

An energetic and cheerful young woman. Despite her friendly and bubbly personality, something about her feels "off" - she unsettles the people around her. Occasionally known to make distasteful jokes that give people the impression she enjoys violence and/or bloodshed.
Wears contact lenses.
Enjoys spending time with her older sister.
Rumored to be a vampire disguised as a high school student... but only a fool would believe something like that.
Inkyu striking a cute pose.
Among the Personas that are currently implemented in the game, Inkyu is a Social Butterfly. She will happily pose for a picture if Ayano Aishi aims her Phone at her. If she sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, she will run to the nearest secluded area and call the police. If Ayano approaches, she will scream for her to go away, and if Ayano commits another murder in her eyesight, she will curl into a ball. If she sees Sakyu Basu's dead body, she'll run up to her body and call the police, sobbing near her sister. She cannot participate in physical confrontations against murderers unless they kill her sister. If Sakyu is killed without Inkyu witnessing it, she will take on the Fragile persona.
She is a "boke", meaning she is dumb, inquisitive, and ditzy, almost like a mini-Midori Gurin.[5] She also has a tendency to speak before she thinks and reveal information that should not be shared.
During Monday conversation with her sister on second week, Sakyu mentions that she shouldn't buy many pastries, because Inkyu will sulk about how much weight she gained. This could mean that Inkyu is insecure about her weight.
According to YandereDev, she's bloodthirsty "both literally and figuratively" because she needs to drink human blood[6] to survive[7] and is naturally sadistic.[8] She isn't on the same level as Hoshiko Mizudori or Akane Toriyasu,[7] since she views humans like they are ants[9] and has no fear against them. When she decides it's in her best interest to kill, she would drop her entire façade of being a schoolgirl, and openly talk about killing people with a blunt tone.[10] Inkyu was able to survive for over two centuries and two decades because she's smart enough to understand that killing too many humans for fun would draw the attention of monster hunters.[8]
Routine[]
Inkyu talking with her older sister, Sakyu.
The sisters looking for "something".
Inkyu eating with her sister.
At 7:00 AM, Inkyu enters the school grounds, walks to her locker, and changes from her outdoor shoes to her indoor shoes. Then, she walks to the fountain located on the southwest side of the school and talks with her half-sister, Sakyu Basu. After her conversation, she walks around the exterior of the school with Sakyu, searching for something. They search every major area around the outside, including the fountains and Zen Gardens. At 8:00 AM, she walks into Classroom 2-2, sits at her desk and plays on her phone. She starts her morning classes at 8:30 AM.
She then to go to the rooftop to eat lunch with her half-sister at 1:00 PM. She walks back to class at 1:22 PM, sits at her desk and plays on her phone. Her afternoon classes start at 1:30 PM.
From 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM, she participates in cleaning time. She will continue to search the exterior of the school with her sister until the end of the day.
On each day of each rival's week, there will be a different conversation about the lore between the two half-sisters, giving players a total of 50 different conversations. If the police were called into the school, the next day they would have a different conversation. The same will happen if they witness Ayano committing murder and she got away with it, however, this time they will never have another lore conversation ever again.
In previous builds, Oka Ruto would stalk her and Sakyu before and after class, as well as during lunchtime. It's unknown if she'll continue to do this once she's added back into the game.
Relationships[]
Inkyu mourning her sister.
Sakyu Basu[]
- Main article: Sakyu Basu
Sakyu is Inkyu's older half-sister.[11] They are one year apart in age.[12]
She enjoys spending time with her, as stated in her Student Profile.
As they are very close, if the player kills Sakyu in front of Inkyu, she will attack the player with much more force than she's usually capable of. She will also react negatively when Ayano gossips about Sakyu. They are close enough that Sakyu allows her sister to feed from her.[13]
Sakyu and Inkyu have the same mother, but different fathers. However, they don't see this as a valid reason to feel any less of a connection to one another.[14] Even outside of school, Sakyu and Inkyu are nearly inseparable. They spend more than 90% of their time with one another.[15]
If her half-sister disappears or murdered, Inkyu will mourn her on the rooftop. This is because both sisters have been within a 10 meter (32.8 feet) radius of each other for over 200 years. If they have to be apart from each other for more than a couple of hours for an "act", they both become severely depressed.[16][17] When either one of the sisters die, the deceased sister takes on another form (such as being a bat) and visits the alive sister at night.[17]
In the Death Demon's ritual, it is revealed that both Inkyu and Sakyu have killed countless people their entire lives to prolong their existence. Sakyu's number may be changed because of Inkyu's sadism.[8]
It has been confirmed in a cutscene that the two sisters have spent two hundred years traveling together, which may be why they are so close.[17]
Even though the sisters are equal in power, Inkyu is 1% weaker than her older sister.[18]
Oka Ruto[]
- Main article: Oka Ruto
Inkyu and her sister were stalked daily by Oka in a futile search for evidence that they were supernatural beings: Inkyu being a vampire, and her sister, Sakyu, a succubus.
Father[]
- Main article: Small Characters
Inkyu's father is a vampire. After Inkyu's mother disappeared in 1797, she looked to her father for guidance and protection and they had a good relationship[13]. However she only had the chance to spend about three years with her father before he was killed by monster hunters. This was a big turning point in Inkyu's life. since it forced her to become independent (at that point in time, she was only 11/12 years old), it was also the moment she realized that humans are dangerous so she has to be cautious to avoid being killed too. This is where she adopted her "don't have conflicts with humans if it can be avoided" philosophy.[19]
Topics[]
The Conversational Topics Inkyu has opinions on are:
| Positive | Negative |

Bugs[]
- In Inkyu's demonic form, her star jewel is floating above her model, which is obviously noticeable when the player uses the fan made PoseMod to see the jewel stuck in one place.
Trivia[]
- She was implemented in the November 15th, 2015 Build.
- If she had a voice in-game, she would sound bubbly and youthful.[20]
- As of the May 1st, 2020 Build, she has 7 fully voiced conversations with her sister.
- She wears cosmetic contact lenses. YandereDev established this in the additional info section so that people wouldn't think that Inkyu is a monster in human form.[21]
- According to her old Student Profile, she is rumored to be a vampire disguised as a human. This was proven true in the October 31st, 2024 Build.
- Her name is a play on the Japanese Katakana for "incubus", Inkyubasu (インキュバス). Although incubi are supposed to be the male counterparts of succubi, YandereDev has said that this doesn't matter since he thinks it's a cute and feminine name.[22]
- In the future, if her sister dies, she might switch to the Sleuth persona.[23]
- The dumbest question Inkyu has ever asked is a spoiler.[24] However, it is not related to the Basu family.[13]
- She was born in 1788, as mentioned in one of her dialogues. This makes her 238 years old in 202X Mode.
- Her character model, alongside Sakyu's, can be bought in a pack on the Unity 3D Asset Store. The pack's name is Succubus Twins Character Pack. Her model's name is Asphodel.
- As of October 31st, 2024 update, Inkyu and Sakyu no longer use this model.
- The Basu sisters will probably not join any clubs.[25]
- Before the May 1st, 2020 Build, she and her sister would walk to the rooftop and spend their day talking there.
- Despite her liking for gossip, she won't accept Ayano's gossip about her sister.
- As a vampire, she needs to drink human blood to stay alive.[13].
- Inkyu and her sister think of humans the way humans think of cattle.[13][10]
- She wasn't in Akademi in 1989, as she was in another country with her sister searching for their mother.[26]
- As she had no other choice, she would slaughter somebody if the latter figured out that herself or her sister were monsters.[27]
- Inkyu can live off of a minimum one human per year, but if she wanted to grow her power and strength to the max, she would need to kill more humans.[28]
- Inkyu hasn't killed at Akademi yet, because she isn't hungry yet and doesn't want to draw suspicion to herself.
- She would likely kill Oka with her sister if Oka figured out too much about the sisters.[29]
- The Aishi hyponsis torture technique does not work on Inkyu, as she fools the torturer into thinking it's working on her.
- This is because after living for over 2 centuries, she is easily bored. Inkyu wants experiences that could make her thrilled.
- Inkyu would not kill her sister to decrease her boredom, nor come in physical contact with the weapon designed to kill demons.[30]
- Both Sakyu and Inkyu have likely came in close proximity of famous historical figures. Such as being in France when Napoleon was the emperor. They saw him with their own eyes, but had never influenced the human history or world events.[31]
- Inkyu does not have to worry about being targeted or judged by other people. People in the modern day assume that anybody with a belief in the supernatural is either superstitious or delusional.[32]
- Inkyu feasted during wartime because she was able to kill multiple soldiers, drink their blood, and then make their corpses look like they were ambushed by an enemy.[33]
- Inkyu doesn't get body odor like other humans do, nor does she have a pleasant smelling odor to "lure" in human prey. Inkyu only showers if the blood of her victims splashes onto her.[34]
- This also means she has never brushed her teeth.[35]
- She lives in "a normal house" when in disguise.[36]
- Her power strength is "considerable", meaning that she has very strong strength.[37]
- It is not possible to kill Inkyu by using silver on her.[38]
- Her real eye color could be considered a spoiler.[39] When she is questioned about her eyes, she lies to the person and tells them they're contact lenses.[40]
- Because she's a demon, she still has the same physical appearance even after 200 years. This is due to physical aging signs disappearing when a demon reaches an age of maturity.[6]

I saw a baseball bat and soccer balls in the gymnasium, but this school doesn't have a baseball diamond or a soccer field! Why would the school have things that students can't even use?
Oh, that makes sense...but, this school doesn't have a baseball team or a soccer team...

Hey, sister?
I feel like this school is missing a bunch of rooms it should have. Like a boiler room, for example. How does this place even function?
Wow, really?
Whoa! I didn't know that! Where is she now?
What?! She went missing?! That's a pretty big deal! What happened to her?
You can't fool me, sister! Whenever you laugh like that, it means you're hiding something...

Oh! So, they don't actually cause any trouble at all around school?
Wow! So they're, like, the secret guardians of the school!
Hey, sister?
I haven't seen the school librarian spend any time in the library at all this week. Isn't she going to get in trouble for neglecting her duties?

Aww, that's sad. Must have been lonely.
Oh, you mean how she pretends like she doesn't have any emotions, because she thinks it makes her look "cool" or whatever? Yeah, that's kinda...
Hey, sister?
I couldn't help but notice that a lot of students are...reading books in the hallways. I didn't see anyone at all doing that last week. What's with the sudden change?
...however?
Wow! I guess that's actually something I should have expected, since this is an elite, prestigious school, and all that...
Yeah?
I can't believe what happened yesterday! That was so scary...
I thought this school was supposed to be a safe place, but...I guess I was wrong...
We're going to be safe, right, sister?
...sister...
Yeah...
What's with the police here? They're incompetent...
...hey...sis...should we...do something about her?
...okay...but...
Always and forever?
Hey! She's my sister! Don't say anything weird about her!

Sister!! Sister, answer me!! Wake up, please, wake up!! Don't do this!! Oh, no, this can't be happening!! NO!! ...no...

Look, sister!
She found what we were looking for, sister.
Do you think she'll hand it over to us, sister?
Then...what are we going to do about her, sister?
Hey, sister - there's no need to keep up the act anymore, right? I can't wait another moment - let's just hurry up and cut her down!
Are you kidding? Compared to us, she's just an insect! Let's jump her!
Oh, hell yeah, sister! Let's blow her mind!
Oh, don't worry about that! Even though she looks kinda crusty, dusty, and musty at the moment, reviving her should be as easy as just sharing a little bit of our life force with her!
...uh...um...oops.
Oh, you mean the bloodlust? Yeah - I could sense that even when we were just passing by her in the hallways at school!
...what do you mean? Are you saying that she's...half-human, half-monster? Or...some kind of...long-lost distant relative of ours?
We have to get the hell out of here - monster hunters will be here soon.
Sis?
Shhhhh. Just play along.
Um, okay sis!
