Siren 2 (Forbidden Siren 2 in Europe) is a survival horror/stealth-based video game developed and published by SCE for the PlayStation 2 in 2006. The game tells the story of several characters who become trapped on Yamijima Island after a blood-red tsunami which capsises a ferry of passengers.

• Mamoru Itsuki

A journalist for the mystery and science magazine "Atlantis", Mamoru travelled to Yamijima to gather research for an article when his boat is capsized by a massive blood-red tidal wave. Waking up alone on the shores of the island, he soon encounters Yuri Kishida and is tricked into helping her open the seven gates of the Underworld, releasing the Yamibito. He escapes the Underworld with Ikuko Kifune, but is left alone soon afterwards. He resolves to find a way to correct his mistake by stopping the Yamibito. At the pinnacle of the Spider's Thread, he is sucked into Mother's dimension and defeats her with the help of Akiko, Ikuko, and the Annunaki remains, erasing the creature's existence from the real world. He is the first true survivor of the game.

• Ikuko Kifune

A dock worker and marine biologist with psychic abilities that allow her to possess the people that she sightjacks. Because of these abilities, she has painful memories of being taunted at school for being "different". She is also the estranged twin sister of Ryuko Tagawa, and a relative of Noriko Kifune. She is on the ferry that is capsized at the beginning of the game, having been drawn to the island by instinct. She rescues Mamoru Itsuki from the Underworld and destroys the seven gates so that no more Yamibito can be released. She separates from Mamoru soon after, preferring a solitary path. She liberates the souls of Shigeru Fujita, Tsuneo Ohta, and Tomoe Ohta, and reunites with Mamoru on top of the Spider's Thread. Working with him, they defeat Mother and escape back into the real world. She is the second true survivor of the game.

• Yorito Nagai

A private in the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces, Yorito crash-lands on Yamijima Island along with Takeaki Misawa and Hiroshi Okita, who dies on impact but is quickly resurrected as a Shibito. Lacking in field experience, Yorito follows Takeaki until they are separated when the Siren sounds. When he next encounters Takeaki, the major has become mentally unstable, threatening to kill Ichiko Yagura. Yorito kills Takeaki in order to protect the girl, but his attempts backfire when the possessed Ichiko attacks him. He eventually joins up with Mamoru Itsuki in climbing the Spider's Thread, but falls off and is confronted by the Kou-Yamibito versions of Hiroshi Okita, Takeaki Misawa, and finally Otoshigo. Completely crazed and enraged, he destroys them all, only to be lost into the Yamibito dimension when reality collapses upon Mother's defeat. Upon seeing this alien world where Yamibito walk around like normal people, he goes completely insane and embarks on a killing spree.

• Takeaki Misawa

A major in the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, Takeaki is in the helicopter that crash-lands on Yamijima Island with his comrades Yorito Nagai and Hiroshi Okita. Despite his razor-sharp demeanour, Takeaki is constantly plagued by the horrific memories of an operation where he rescued Harumi Yomoda, the only survivor of the original Siren game, from Hanuda. As events unfold, he becomes increasingly psychotic and homicidal, even more so after ingesting some hallucinogenic medicine. This culminates in his encounter with Ichiko Yagura, whom he threatens to kill because he finds her suspicious. He is shot from behind by Yorito Nagai in order to protect Ichiko, and dies. However, he is resurrected as a Kou-Yamibito, and finally destroyed by Yorito.

• Akiko Kiyota

A clairvoyant who is able to see visions of the past while sightjacking. She is kidnapped by Soji Abe in an attempt to prove his innocence, but willingly goes with him to Yamijima Island as she senses that they will find their answers there. She is one of only two people to see Mother for the monster she really is- the other being Ikuko Kifune. After the Underworld is opened, she is contacted by the spirit of Shu Mikami and asked to free his father's soul by destroying his Yamibito form and stabbing him with a sacred Mekkoju branch. After this act, she receives a final psychic flashback and realises that she is actually an avatar of Mother, just like Kanae was 29 years ago. This causes her to transform into Kanae. However, she fights the psychic control of Mother, and commits suicide by stabbing herself in the stomach with the Annunaki remains. This act weakens Mother, allowing Ikuko and Mamoru Itsuki to defeat the monster. She reunites with Shu Mikami in the afterlife as Kanae, where they can be together forever.

• Soji Abe

A construction worker, and flatmate of Ryuko Tagawa, who is beaten to death before the events of the game. Soji is immediately suspected of murder, and kidnaps the clairvoyant Akiko Kiyota so that she may prove his innocence. He is on the ferry that is capsized by the blood-red tidal wave, and ends up on Yamijima Island with Akiko. Though he loses Akiko temporarily, he meets up with Shu Mikami, and together they descend into the Underworld. Later, he aids Akiko in freeing the soul of Ryuhei Mikami, and reunites with Tsukasa, Shu's faithful seeing-eye dog. Together, he and Tsukasa survive the collapse of reality upon Mother's defeat, and emerge into a new reality where Mother- and by extension, Ryuko Tagawa- never existed. He is the third true survivor of the game.

• Shigeru Fujita

A down on his luck police officer who grew up on Yamijima Island, moving to the mainland to raise a family. Before the events of the game, he requests a transfer back to his hometown to investigate rumours of a young woman being sighted on the supposedly desolate island. He is on the island when the blood-red tidal wave hits, and is caught up in the events. He rescues Ichiko Yagura from a horde of Shibuto on-board the Bright Win, and stays with her until the Siren sounds. He is then stabbed to death by the possessed Ichiko, and later resurrected as a Yamibito. He eventually becomes a Kou-Yamibito, and is destroyed by Ikuko Kifune with the Mekkoju branch reserved for him at birth, thus freeing his soul.

• Ichiko Yagura

A young schoolgirl attending Kameishino Prefectural Middle School. In the year 1986, she is onboard the ferry Bright Win with her school's tennis club when the body of Yuri Kishida is discovered in the ocean and pulled onboard. The Bright Win is then lost in a freak tsunami caused by Yuri. During the storm, Ichiko falls overboard and drowns, only for her body to be taken as a host by Otoshigo, the father of the Shiyros and Mother's mate. She regains consciousness in the hold of the Bright Win as the game's events begin to unfold and is rescued from the roaming Shibuto by Shigeru Fujita. When the Siren sounds, she becomes completely possessed by Otoshigo and stabs Shigeru to death. Regaining her senses and horrified at what she has done, Ichiko stumbles around the island until she encounters Takeaki Misawa, who threatens to kill her. She is saved by Yorito Nagai, but soon goes insane and becomes completely possessed. After her final transformation into the Kou-Yamibito Otoshigo, she is destroyed by Yorito.

• Shu Mikami

An up-and-coming novelist, whose most famous work is "The Mermaid's Tear", inspired by a story his father used to read to him. He was born and raised on Yamijima Island by his father, Ryuhei Mikami. As a child, he discovered a young woman called Kanae washed up on the shores of the island. Kanae was taken into the Mikami household, and Shu became close playmates with her. After discovering the body of his murdered father, Shu attempts to escape the island with Kanae, only to be cornered by the villagers, intent on killing "the witch". They fall into the sea, and Shu manages to survive by climbing onto a drifting boat. However, the experience is so traumatic that he loses his sight and his memory of the incident.

Years later, he returns to Yamijima Island with his seeing-eye dog Tsukasa so that he can unlock his lost memories. He is on the boat that capsizes at the beginning, and returns to his old house to find himself at the scene of his father's murder- time his folded. He is separated from Tsukasa, but joins up with Soji Abe, and together they descend into the Underworld. Seeing the monstrous Mother as his lost playmate Kanae, he embraces her grip and is lost forever. Later, his spirit returns as a ghost to implore Akiko Kiyota and Soji to free the soul of his Yamibito father, and to entrust Tsukasa to Soji. He is reunited with Kanae in the afterlife when Akiko commits suicide with the Annunaki Remains.

• Kanae

An avatar of Mother, sent to open the seven gates to the Underworld and unleash the Yamibito. She first appears in 1976, where she is washed up on Yamijima Island and found by a young Shu Mikami. She is accepted into the Mikami household, and sets about her goal to manipulate Shu into opening the gates for her. To this end, she murders Ryuhei Mikami so that she may have complete control over Shu, but her actions are witnessed by Tsuneo Ohta. Evading the subsequent manhunt by the villagers, Kanae attempts to escape to safety with Shu. She is eventually cornered, and falls into the ocean. Mother is so enraged by this failure that she sends a tidal wave to wipe out Yamijima, causing a fold in reality.

Later, Akiko Kiyota- another avatar of Mother- is finally overtaken by the psychic power of the deity and transforms into Kanae. However, Akiko resists this control enough to commit suicide using the Annunaki Remains, weakening Mother enough for Mamoru Itsuki and Ikuko Kifune to defeat her. Kanae joins Shu in the afterlife, where they can be together forever.
