 * Yukari Sakuragi - Died because she fell down the stairs, which caused her umbrella to impale her neck.

However, when he went to retrieve it, he got into difficulties and started the drown. Soon after, a speeding boat comes and hits him, splitting his body up into pieces.

The Opening
During the opening for Another there is brief shots of characters from the series appearing in some what of a grainy, film-like picture. When a character dies, they are replaced with a new character. Following Episode 8, it has been rumored that the third and fourth characters to appear in this segment are doomed to die, as they were once filled with Yukari Sakuragi and Ikuo Takabayashi. When Sakuragi died in Episode 3, she was replaced with the male student who died in Episode 8, this is alike to Takabayashi, who died in Episode 5 was replaced with an unnamed male student. The last position instead chooses an adult from the series, which originally used to be Sanae Mizuno. When she died in Episode 4, she was replaced with Shoji Kubodera who died in episode 7. He has since been replaced with Mrs. Mizuno.

Using this strange sequence of events, we can theorize that the third, fourth and ninth positions during the segment are "cursed" and will provide a hint as to which characters are going to die next.
