Well Kouichi tackled Izumi, it's not a smack, but he lived through that. Even tried to reason with her while he did it. All that did was earn him a swift kick to the groin.

As for Fujioka,  it was about a year and a half ago when he met Izumi, all of them coulda been 14 at the time. I been to my fair share of funerals to know that, there's more than one day people stay in town for them. There's the day they find out the person they know has died, the day they come to prepare for the funeral, then the last day which is basically the after party and people say good bye before going back home. So Kouichi coulda still toured yomiyama long enough to meet a few people before the calamity altered his memory of the event.
