Plot
Corpse Party
CHAPTER 3
Emi is first briefly introduced in the third chapter's opening, where Mitsuki and Masato Fukuroi talk about her corpse being found with a large wound on her head. They speculate about her being killed by a big man wielding a sledgehammer.
Her corpse can be found by Yuuya Kizami and Yuka Mochida's party in the same chapter, in front of the custodian's room. Her name tag states that she died from a broken skull after being hit by a blunt instrument, likely by Yoshikazu Yanagihori.
ExtraPreview / Tooth
Emi is grouped with Tohko after arriving in Heavenly Host and takes care of her as she's feeling sick at the third-floor lavatory. Shortly afterward, they join up with Yuuya, Kai Shimada, Ryosuke Katayama, and Tomohiro Ohkawa. Ryosuke is badly wounded, however, and Emi is visibly shaken by the turn of events. Kai suggests she goes to look for an exit since she's the one who made them do the "Sachiko Ever After" charm and brought them all there. Tohko however, volunteers to go in her place, followed by Yuuya and a reluctant Kai. They leave Emi and Tomohiro behind to look after Ryosuke.
When Tohko and Yuuya return, Emi announces that Ryosuke has passed out from blood loss. Tohko decides to search for Mitsuki and leaves Emi, Tomohiro, and Ryosuke in Yuuya's care.
When Tohko returns, she meets Emi, who breaks down and hugs her, announcing that Ryosuke has died. Then they hear Kai's footsteps only to see him slump dead on his knees, stabbed by his own knife. As Yuuya comes to check on the girls, a ghostly girl dressed in red appears. Emi and Yuuya run to the stairs to warn Tomohiro and tell him to flee. He refuses to leave Ryosuke behind, however, claiming that he's still alive despite Emi arguing the contrary. Yuuya then kicks Ryosuke's body down the stairs to make a point and pushes Tomohiro down there too while he's running past to check on his friend. Tomohiro calls Yuuya a murderer, while Tohko drags a screaming Emi away.
However, Tohko refuses to believe Emi when she tells her what happened. Tohko decides to confront Yuuya despite Emi's pleading. Having had enough, Emi runs away alone.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive
CHAPTER 10 『 Reparations 』
At the end of the game, Emi's existence is restored, along with all the others who died in Heavenly Host.
EX CHAPTER 03 『The Unconceding』
Emi appears if Kai chooses to go to his classroom. He spies on her as she is chatting about a girl's fashion magazine with Tohko until they notice a copy of Men's Buckle. They look through it until they notice a picture of Kai in it. Tohko is repulsed, but Emi admits that Kai does look "mighty fine". Tohko says that she would go out with someone gentlemanly and kind, and Emi suggests Yuuya. Tohko gleefully agrees with her, and they wonder what type of girls he likes.
Ryosuke and Tomohiro then join in, and the conversation eventually leads to wondering if Yuuya is afraid of something, and Emi says that he was more expressionless than usual when dissecting frogs, and suggests that he may not be good with animals.
The bell then rings, and they leave to go to their next lesson, bumping into Kai, who was spying on them for the entire conversation. Emi advises him that he should go too, and hesitantly leaves with the others.
The next day, Tohko excitedly shows her the latest issue of Men's Buckle, and to Emi's surprise, Yuuya is on the cover. Tomohiro and Ryosuke explain that Yuuya and Kai had a bread eating contest, and the prize was the cover shot of the magazine. Emi remarks that it sounds like Kai to rush in head first and not think things through.
Significant plot details end here.
Relationships
Emi is shown to be very quiet around others, but is shown to be one who doesn't have trouble making friends but wouldn't completely open up to them, but she will be most open around those she's closest to.
Tohko Kirisaki
Emi and Tohko are very close friends and attend the same school together. They call each other by their first name and have known each other since Kindergarten. When they arrive in Heavenly Host, their trust in each other dissolves after Yuuya shoves Ryosuke down the stairs and Emi tries to get Tohko to flee. Tohko's faith in Yuuya and Emi's confusion about whether or not Yuuya actually shoved Tomohiro as well (he had not; Tomohiro had panicked and tripped) causes the girls to part ways.
In Blood Drive's Extra Chapter Three, Tohko and Emi are shown looking at a fashion magazine in between classes and begin chatting about Yuuya and Kai.
Mitsuki Yamamoto
Despite them barely interacting on-screen, Emi and Mitsuki are actually very good friends and refer to each other on a first name basis. When Mitsuki finds Emi's corpse in Book of Shadows, Masato mentions that it took him forever to finally pry Mitsuki from Emi's body and get her to keep moving.
In 2U, Mitsuki agrees to help Emi during the cooking competition.
