名河越 懺

The current chief of Paranormal Affairs is a man named Kuiru Nakagoshi. He was born to a family of psychics who have been involved in keeping the world safe from paranormal phenomena for generations, and has served as Mio Kurosuzu's mentor since discovering her. Kuiru is an elusive figure — very few have met him in person, and he is rarely seen in his office. It is said that this is because he has oft been the target of curses, however some theorize that it is in fact because Kuiru is not actually of flesh and blood at all. His seat in his office is usually occupied by a nue, a legendary creature found in Japanese folklore. The nue resembles an ordinary White's thrush and acts as Kuiru's messenger, leading to bizarre scenes of police officers earnestly reporting their findings to a bird. The term "Nakagoshi case" serves as a code name used to refer to cases under investigation by Paranormal Affairs. [From in-game Files entry]
