However, he has been unable to carry out his plans, and thus his investments end in failure. He is a real estate investor, and is supplying his funds to a resort. His daughter, Jessica, also has little respect for him, particularly due to the pressure he places on her to become (or at least marry) a suitable successor to the Ushiromiya family after him.
Due to his arrogant nature, he has made himself something of an enemy to the siblings, who see him as trying to monopolize Kinzo's fortune, and unanimously attempt to upstage him, though with little success. He is one of the few people on Rokkenjima who is aware that Kinzo is already dead, and also knows of the existence of Kinzo's hidden gold, which the other family members doubt. He is the next in line to inherit the family headship, and takes the initiative to lead the family conferences. Eldest son's family Krauss Ushiromiya ( 右代宮 蔵臼 Ushiromiya Kurausu ?) Voiced by: Jūrōta Kosugi Krauss is Kinzo's first child. One of his most prominent obsessions was Beatrice, a witch he is said to have summoned and contracted for ten tons worth of gold. He was also a rabid practitioner of black magic and the occult, his shelves lined with volumes of grimoires. He would rarely leave his large study, which contains various commodities such as a bed and bathroom. In life, Kinzo held his children in contempt, viewing them as vultures ready to feast on his inheritance as soon as he died (or at least when word of his death spread out). Throughout the first four games, Kinzo's body frequently turns up burnt in the incinerator of the mansion's underground boiler room as a means to conceal how long he had been dead, and is identified as Kinzo due to his polydactyly, distinguished by having six toes on each foot. One exception is Battler ( 戦人 ?), which is pronounced Batora ( ばとら ?) rather than the way the kanji that make up his name would otherwise normally be pronounced, Sento ( せんと ?).įamily head Kinzo Ushiromiya ( 右代宮 金蔵 Ushiromiya Kinzō ?) Voiced by: Mugihito Kinzo is the elderly head of the Ushiromiya family and the owner of Rokkenjima.
While foreign names are normally written in katakana, the names of Kinzo's children and grandchildren are written using similar-sounding kanji. Kinzo's descendants have a Western naming style. Those born under the name Ushiromiya bear the family crest, the "One-winged Eagle" ( 片翼の鷲 Katayoku no Washi ?), on their clothes, while those outside the family do not. Following Kinzo are his four children, from oldest to youngest (first son Krauss, first daughter Eva, second son Rudolf, and second daughter Rosa), then his grandchildren in order of their parents' age (Krauss' daughter Jessica, Eva's son George, Rudolf's son Battler, and Rosa's daughter Maria), and finally his children's spouses as they are not blood relatives (Krauss' wife Natsuhi, Eva's husband Hideyoshi, and Rudolf's wife Kyrie). As the current head, Kinzo holds the highest rank of all the family members.
After that comes to pass, the headship will be passed down onto a successor according to a preset hierarchy. While the youngest members of the family, Kinzo's grandchildren, see it as a chance to bond and have a pleasurable time chatting about their lives, their parents, Kinzo's children, take the opportunity to debate how Kinzo's assets are to be divided after his death. The current members of the Ushiromiya family gather on Rokkenjima every year for their annual family conference. In Umineko, there is a rumor that Kinzo turned to the Golden Witch Beatrice and sold his soul for ¥20 billion worth of gold, allowing the Ushiromiya family to prosper more than it ever had before. The current head, Kinzo, was originally part of a smaller branch of the family, and it fell to him to restore the family's glory. The family was initially much greater and contained more members until the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, after which the family was severely crippled, both domestically and financially. Rokkenjima is owned by the wealthy Ushiromiya family, and serves as the home of the family head. Second row: Nanjo, Eva, Hideyoshi, Georgeįifth row: Shannon, Kanon, Gohda, Kumasawa.
