Ichiko Ohya

Also known as Camera-wearing Woman Paparazza Occupation Paparazza Arcana Devil Gender: female She used to be a more stringent journalist, but a story of hers was censored because of exposing the scandal of Masayoshi Shido's cohort and was permanently reassigned to entertainment and, more importantly, led to the disappearance and framing of her partner, Kayo Murakami. Ohya admits she does not enjoy writing entertainment articles about the latest fads, yet feels she does not have a choice and is unwilling to quit her profession. Feeling betrayed and used, Ohya became incredibly cynical, sure of goodwill and unselfish motives being a sign of a manipulator. Over the course of her Confidant with the protagonist, she gradually becomes more idealistic again and chooses to go back to getting to the bottom of the scandal, recognizing that there is a point to truthful reporting even if it does not give her the fame she wants. She first appears before Ichiryusai Madarame's residency for investigation. Greeting the protagonist and his friends, who are there for a similar purpose, she leaves her slip for the protagonist. When the Phantom Thieves of Hearts are blackmailed by Makoto Niijima to reform a mafia boss in Shibuya, they contact and meet Ohya for intel inside the bar Crossroads in Shinjuku, she in turn requests an interviewee from Shujin Academy who has been a victim of Suguru Kamoshida's abuse. Morgana nominates Yuuki Mishima, which she accepts, and reveals the identity of the mafia boss to be Junya Kaneshiro, helping the Thieves to access his Palace. Ohya also makes a brief appearance among the crowd of people outside the Diet Building after Shido's calling card is sent. Ohya's Confidant can be unlocked by visiting her in Crossroads in Shinjuku starting from June 23rd.
