History
Koto was the youngest child of Shizu and Kyogo Shinazugawa. He had six older siblings, with Sanemi and Genya being the two oldest. His father was extremely abusive and often lashed out at his family, though Koto was always protected by his mother. Eventually, his father was killed in a stabbing.

One night, as Koto, Sumi, Hiroshi, Teiko, and Shuya slept, Sanemi and Genya became concerned that their mother had not come home, leading Sanemi to go out and look for her. Genya stayed behind to watch his siblings, who by now had woken up to wait as well. Koto remained asleep in Genya's arms as he attempted to ease his siblings concerns, asking them to go back to bed.

Suddenly, a loud knock rang rang from the front door, which woke up Koto and led Shuya, Sumi, Hiroshi, and Teiko to believe that their mother had come home. Despite Genya's warning against opening it, the door broken open. Shizu, who had transformed into a demon, killed the four instantly before lunging towards Genya and Koto, slitting the young child's throat as she rushed past him. Despite Genya's efforts, Koto died shortly afterwards.
