Kagura Inou (伊能 神楽 Inou Kagura) is the protagonist of Snow Radish Vacation!!, one of the heroines of Summer Radish Vacation!!, and a mentioned character in Summer Radish Vacation!! 2 and Shiny Days.
Appearance[]
Kagura was a pale-complected woman with brown eyes and long brown hair that she usually kept in a ponytail held by a large ribbon. During the events of Snow, she wore a yellow sweater, a red skirt, and a light purple jacket, and in Summer, she can wear any of Summer Radish's uniforms.
Personality[]
From her third year at Moteharashou until her final year of high school, Kagura was very much besotted with Tomaru even after everything she had been through because of him. It is possible that Tomaru had a hold on her, as she was made to do things such as recruiting classmates into Tomaru's prostitution ring and looking the other way when their daughter Hajime became pregnant by him. In the latter case, it took Hajime dying in childbirth for Kagura to break out of whatever hold Tomaru had on her.
Biography[]
Before Snow Radish Vacation!![]
Kagura was the eldest child of Moegi Inou and Tomaru Sawagoe, as well as the older sister of Ayumu, Youko, and Moeka. Moegi raised both her and Ayumu alone and kept secret who their father was to everyone, causing Kagura and Ayumu to grow up without knowing that Tomaru was their father.
When she was a third grader at Moteharashou, she and her best friend Hatsuka were enrolled in a cram school where Tomaru worked part-time as a teacher. The two of them and their female classmates came to admire him, calling him "onii-san" (Big Brother). During this time, the girls in the class would go visit him to "play" with him except Kagura as there were few opportunities for her to do so as she lived far away.
Snow Radish Vacation!![]
One day before the start of her fourth year, it was arranged for all the girls of her cram school class in to "go play" at Tomaru's apartment. However, on the way there, Kagura fell off her bike and the bike broke due to the snow, resulting in her being late and everyone being gone by the time she reached the apartment.
Afterwards, Kagura started walking back home, depressed because her grandfather, the owner of Snow Radish, was going to retire, meaning that her mother would inherit the restaurant and they would have to move there. As it was quite a distance from the cram school, she wouldn't be able to attend anymore and thus, she had apparently missed her last chance to meet with Tomaru.
On the way back home, due to the snow, Kagura tries to hitch a ride on passing cars without success until a car stops, almost hitting her. To her surprise, the driver is Tomaru himself. After she asks him for a lift, he lets her into the car.
In the car, Kagura confesses to him that she wishes she could have visited and "played" with him at least once. Tomaru then offers to "play" with her as he did all the other girls. Afterwards, Tomaru continues to drive in silence, and a nervous Kagura asks him if he would make her his bride if she can sexually satisfy him, to which he agrees, making her very happy. After that, Tomaru drops Kagura off near her house and they part ways.
The next day, Kagura receives a call from Hatsuka, who tells her that Tomaru has quit the cram school and vanished. She also mentions hearing that while he ostensibly moved to be closer to his college, in actuality, he was going after the girl he likes, leaving Kagura very depressed. Four months later, Kagura discovers that she's pregnant. Although people tried to discourage her from doing so due to her young age, Kagura decided to have the baby and her mother didn't ask anything nor did she oppose her daughter's decision as she herself had become a mother at a fairly young age.
During the winter holidays, Kagura's aunt Asagi comes to stay in Snow Radish and enjoy the hot spring with two friends: Tomoe and, to everyone's surprise, Tomaru. In the room where Asagi and Tomoe would stay, Kagura brings up Tomaru's promise. However, Tomaru tries to dissuade her, telling her that his actual reason for moving away was to avoid his "play" with his students being discovered and that he only did what he did to her on the way because he thought he would never see her again. He also tells her of his plan to seduce Tomoe during this trip and eventually marry her.
Despite this, Kagura doesn't give up, and in the end, Tomaru makes a wager: if during the three days and two nights of the trip, Kagura can "satisfy" him, he will keep his promise. If she can't do so or before that, he manages to seduce Tomoe and the other girls, it will be his win.
After that, Kagura returns to the restaurant and discovers that Tomoe has gone to carry her luggage to her room with Tomaru helping her, leaving the two alone. Nervous about what could happen with the two of them alone, Kagura goes searching for them but when she reaches the room, they're already gone. Depending on the choices, she may or may not find them in the hot spring. If Kagura isn't able to find them, Tomaru will be able to charm Tomoe and if she is able to find them, she will interrupt their conversation.
Either way, Kagura and Tomaru end up returning to the restaurant. There, Tomaru meets with Moegi, and Kagura discovers that they already knew each other and had had a relationship in the past. They try to convince Kagura to leave so they can talk alone, but to Kagura's relief, Arisu suddenly arrives at Snow Radish, interrupting the two. However, Tomaru finds Arisu cute and seems interested in her, which makes Kagura uneasy. Kagura then goes to her room and after sorting out the situation, she goes to take action.
After Snow Radish Vacation!![]
Soon after Snow Radish Vacation, Tomaru and Kagura were "engaged" and she gave birth to their daughter, Hajime. A year later, Tomaru began to use her, Moegi, Arisu, and Hatsuka to "attract" more customers to Snow Radish. During this time, Kagura was prostituted to Moteharashou's principal as part of her "service" to Tomaru and gave birth to a son, Wataru.
Eventually, the principal died and willed his fortune to Kagura, after which Tomaru convinced her to give it to him before disappearing from her life again. Kagura's life soured even more when all the debt that Tomaru had accrued was sent to Snow Radish and she was abducted by a Yakuza for payment, becoming pregnant with another child. Fortunately, the Yakuza was killed by a pursuer, allowing Kagura to escape and return home. A year later, she was again abducted and confined, this time by one of her teachers at Moteharachuu, becoming pregnant with another child, and being saved by Hatsuka.
Sometime after graduating from Moteharachuu, Kagura was raped by her brother Ayumu, who had become Asagi's sex slave. A year later, Tomaru returned to Snow Radish and suggested a way to cure Ayumu's condition which resulted in another child. Their first daughter, Hajime, took a liking to Tomaru, making Kagura believe that Tomaru had finally come back to fulfill his promise of marrying her. This belief was soon shattered when Hajime, who along with her mother had been impregnated by Tomaru, died giving birth to her daughter Rio. This resulted in a big quarrel that ended with Kagura cutting all ties with Tomaru for good, and Tomaru left again. Afterwards, Kagura adopted Rio and raised her alongside her daughter Rina. At some point, Ayumu tried to rape her, even forcing her son Wataru to help him, which resulted in another daughter.
At some point, Asagi's husband Juuzou realized that none of Asagi's daughters were biologically his and decided to force an affair with Kagura, who had been fully aware of Asagi's deception, as revenge, which resulted in another child. Wataru and some of Kagura's daughters soon left home, leaving only Mai and Rina with her. Eventually, Asagi acknowledged the affair and moved away with her family, throwing Ayumu away in the process. Deciding to cure his broken heart, Kagura accepted a relationship with him, which resulted in two more children, and she eventually managed to cure Ayumu, allowing him to live a normal life. During this time, Youko developed feelings for Ayumu but was circumvented by Kagura and their mother.
With her misfortunes apparently over, Kagura decided to expand the Radish business, renovating a beach house at Haramihama into a family restaurant named "Summer Radish" with the help of Asagi. This would eventually lead to her meeting Hatsuka's son, Shun.
