It's Reiko. His aunt. She originally drowned in 1996 when she was the homeroom teacher of Class 3-3. This meant that the phenomenon in 1998 started because Reiko (now Mikami-sensei) is the "dead-one," and Kouichi broke the "rule" by talking and interacting with the person (Misaki) designated as the non-existing person. The anime and manga have given several clues. One being said by the grandpa "My poor Reiko, My poor Ritsuko." So this meant something MIGHT happened to both of them well we know about Ritsuko just not Reiko at the time. Another clue was just recently animated, the beach trip. The "curse" was supposed be limited only to Yomiyama, but instead it happened away from Yomiyama. This essentially states that someone among them MIGHT be the cursed one. Then Reiko not remembering everything could also be a clue.

Also.

In all previous years there had been a homeroom teacher for class 3-3, but never an assistant teacher. All seats are full in class, but there is no extra seat for the assistant homeroom teacher, Reiko. This makes her the extra person in a very subtle way.

And.

Yes, and another hint that shows Reiko is the dead one is that Kouichi's father said something like "How is it to come to back after 2 years" or something like that meaning that he was on Reiko's funeral.

=Izumi Akazawa, the head of the countermeasures assured Sakakibara that he is not the dead one because her hand remembers the warmth or the feeling of touching Sakakibara's hand right?=

Lets assure that all that is stated above is true.

Reiko died some year ago.. Sakakibara went to the funeral with his dad. This time, maybe Akazawa and Sakakibara met.

After two years, he was sent back to Yomiyama to continue his studies there. As we all know, the dead one have this ability to change the memories of people. It must have messed up with Sakakubara's memory for him not to remember what happened in his last visit. Same for Akazawa. But, even though the memory is replaced or changed, there are some instances that the person still knew about it. Like the situation of Matsunaga. His memory about the tape recorder was tampered, yet when he was drunk, he was able to say that he left something for the school. To connect this to Akazawa, though she can't remember at all, her body somehow know that the two of them met..
