History
Chinami is the owner of a late-night diner in Area C of Ward 24. She is one of only two employees, the other being her middle-aged chef. The diner became popular with people working the graveyard shift, and business began to do well. Six months prior to the events of case#4.5:face, Sakura Natsume moved to the fifth floor of her apartment building, and the two soon became friends.
In October of 1999, she met Sakura briefly as she was leaving for class after sleeping in. A couple days later, she met Minato Sawaguchi, who later visited the diner a few times after Sakura's recommendation. He asked Chinami about Sakura, but she refrained from saying much. Sakura visited the diner ten days after Kana Makino's funeral, and had a meal alongside Minato. Chinami spoke to both of them, and suggested that Sakura get some rest by going on a date with Minato. After Sakura's attack, she began making frequent trips to her apartment to bring her food. She became depressed after having learned Minato was Jack the Ripper, and blamed herself for putting Sakura in danger. After this, the pair remained friends.
