Kokuhaku Akaboji (紅星 黒白 Akaboshi Kokuhaku) is a minor character introduced in Corpse Party (PC), a student of Misato Municipal Brotherhood High's classroom 2-4, and a victim of Heavenly Host.
Design
Kokuhaku has long blue hair, cut horizontally in the front. She has hazel eyes in the PC version. However, her eyes are gray in the PSP version, but both look empty and hollow. She wears Misato Municipal Brotherhood High's female school uniform, consisting of a prussian blue sailor fuku with a white tie, a prussian blue skirt, white socks, and brown shoes.
Personality
Kokuhaku is a bright student who holds the top ranks in her grade and can often be seen reading a book under a tree in the corner of the garden. She's a reserved person who doesn't try to make friends. Her home is a prestigious dojo of kendo with many disciples, the head of which is her father. Because of that, Kokuhaku has an unusually high passion for kendo and secretly yearns to be a disciple herself. Despite having hardened her spirit through swordsmanship, she is surprisingly fearful of the dark and ghosts.

CHAPTER 3
Kokuhaku is staring blankly at a wall inside the art room in the second wing of the school. Satoshi Mochida enters the room with his sister Yuka and approaches her. Satoshi explains what happened to him and the rest of his classmates, and asks if the same happened to her. However, Kokuhaku does not respond. Any further attempts to speak to her results in her saying random things, which she will continue to say even after Satoshi ceases chatting with her.
CHAPTER 5
Kokuhaku is later found in the same corner but as a black stain on the floor. Her name tag can also be found which explains how she was afflicted and consumed by a curse (likely to be the darkening) which removed her from existence.

As Yuka Mochida runs into the art room hoping to hide from Sakutaro Morishige, she hides under the table and discovers Kokuhaku right next to her. Yuka tries to tell her to be quiet but finds out she is in a trance. Sakutaro enters the room, and Kokuhaku starts to pull her hair out, still making no noise. Yuka tries to stop her, but this makes noise and alerts Sakutaro to her location. She hides under the table again, and Sakutaro only finds Kokuhaku. She attacks him, but he just angrily walks away. Yuka thanks, Kokuhaku and leaves.
