Spoiler

The Fool's Procession (via possession of Yakko's body)

Michiyo was a second-year student at Komagata High School. She was found deceased one week ago in a back alley off South Warigesui Street, her entire body broken and severely contorted.
Police determined that Michiyo committed suicide by jumping from a nearby apartment building. As there was no suicide note, the police based their conclusion on interviews with Michiyo's peers.

Subsequent investigation revealed that Michiyo was in fact killed by Yutaro Namigaki in a hit-and-run accident.
It was also revealed that she unwillingly aided and abetted the kidnapping of Shuichi Shigima after being subjected to physical threats and violence by Kankichiro Iwai.

Michiyo was an honor student with a good head on her shoulders and consistently excellent grades, making her a favorite among the teachers. Although she appeared somewhat reserved, she had a positive outlook on life and a courageous spirit.
Michiyo and Yakko formed a long-lasting friendship during childhood, with Yakko's unbending, uncompromising attitude deeply influencing Michiyo. However, beneath her strong exterior, Michiyo had been pushing herself too hard and keeping her emotions bottled up to the point that they risked overflowing.
Following her father's death three years ago and moving to a new house, Michiyo began avoiding Yakko.
Although the two remained in the same area of town and attended the same high school, they gradually grew further apart.
Yakko herself worried for her childhood friend, but, incapable of wading into complexities of Michiyo's life, kept her distance. The days passed, and though Michiyo longed to confess everything to Yakko, the moment to do so never came.
Michiyo carried an old talisman —a memento of her father— with her at all times.

Michiyo's vengeful spirit possessed Yakko a few days prior to the Feast of Shadows. By controlling Yakko's body and using her curse echo of the Fool's Procession, Michiyo killed the two men in her life who abused her: her stepfather Kankichiro Iwai for domestic violence and forcing her to kidnap Shuichi, and Kohei Jonouchi for blackmailing her into a sexual relationship.

Michiyo is a descendant of Tsuchimikado Seiman and was passed down a talisman containing half of the Record of Fates Yin Scroll. After Yutaro Namigaki ran over Michiyo with his car, his passenger Ayame Tono took the talisman off her body once they both returned to the scene of the accident.
