The school doctor. Twelve years ago, when she was a student, she was chosen as a sacrificial victim for a demon-summoning ritual by the witchcraft club. During this ritual, the club director went insane and murdered all of the participating members (Takashiro Hiroko was forcibly absent) before being stabbed by a dying Kitami. With so much blood shed, a demon was summoned, willing to grant one wish. Kitami, dying and in pain, wished to live, so the demon granted her wish - after a fashion. Kitami's body was healed, but in twelve years time, the corruption of her soul would cause her to die and she would be sent to hell. She realized that if she were able to switch bodies with someone, her original body (and any soul inside it) would be destroyed instead. Kitami's driving need to live becomes a major story plot for the "Bible Black" series.
