公由喜一郎

Head of one of the Three Families, and the official village chief of Hinamizawa. He seems to be a kindly old man, but is vehement in his hatred for Hinamizawa's enemies. His position as chief is largely symbolic as Oryou Sonozaki holds power over most of Hinamizawa. ~! As this includes Satoshi and the rest of the Hojo family, he is killed by Shion in Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen. !~ ~!In Tatarigoroshi-hen, it is revealed that he became Rika's legal guardian sometime after her parents' death in 1981.!~
