In Ayakashisenshi-hen, she is a fairy who helps Rika and her friend Satoko Hojo in their battle against Tokyo Magika and their Ritual Tool Devils.

She asked Ouka to kill her in what became the first Watanagashi ceremony, and by doing so, she 'buried' the villager's sins along with her.

Because of this, Hanyuu chose to become a sacrifice to atone for the villagers' sins. When the villagers of Onigafuchi became violent towards Hainiryuun's clan and could no longer tell who was a demon and who was not, they started to suspect and blame each other. They had a daughter named Ouka Furude, the first in a long lines of humans to carry demon blood. However, Riku Furude, the heir to the Furude shrine and inventor of the nickname 'Hanyuu', fell in love with Hainiryuun and married her. She travelled with her clan to the Onigafuchi Swamp and tried to coexist with the human villagers there, but the Furude priest refused to cooperate. Hanyuu was once known as the demon god of Onigafuchi (Hinamizawa) under her true name, Hainiryuun Ieasomuuru Jieda. She is voiced by Xanthe Huynh in English. She is voiced by Yui Horie in Japanese, who also voiced Tohru Honda in Fruits Basket, and Yuki Cross in Vampire Knight. As such, Hanyuu regards Rika as her one and only friend despite the abuse she endures from Rika occasionally. In fact, Rika is the first person who is able to see her even though Hanyuu has been in Hinamizawa for centuries since her death. She is a sort of guardian angel to Rika Furude, her descendant whom she has followed since birth. Hanyuu is invisible for the majority of the series to the majority of the characters. Hanyuu's past is shrouded in mystery, but she referred to herself as a human who became a god after she was sacrificed at a true Watanagashi ceremony centuries ago to atone for the sins of the villagers. She is a female goddess that appears in Minagoroshi-hen and beyond. Hanyuu Furude, also known as Oyashiro-sama, is the overarching protagonist of Higurashi: When They Cry.
