" 私は一人でこの世界にはなりたくない...それはそう、冷たい苦いと怖いです。私は世界が私と一緒に笑顔ことを望んで、私の顔の光の心と笑顔で私の人生を生きている。" (Meaning: ‘I don't want to be in this world alone... It is so cold, bitter and scary. I live my life with a light heart and big smile on my face, hoping the world will smile with me.').
( 猿飛, 密造, Sarutobi, Mitsuzō): (Meaning: monkey jumps in the moonshine) - is the youngest daughter of a rice farmer in Hi no Kuni. The Sarutobi clan are humble people, happy despite living without anything much to call their own. They work very hard on the rice field in order to provide food - yet gain no recognition. This is very frustrating, but as a family they keep cheerful. Mitsuzō is by far the most cheerful member of her clan, constantly doing things to make her parents and siblings laugh. She often pretends to be a cat, making 'nyan' sounds and holding her hands up like kitten paws. Mitsuzō is the joy of the family and they want nothing more but to see her succeed in a high quality of life.
( 痛みに鈍感先天性, Congenital insensitivity to Pain): Mitsuzō was born with the rare condition of not being able to feel pain. She still is able to feel things (to touch, sensually, and temperature - except extreme cold and extreme heat. ), but her cognitive cannot process the feeling of pain. Although this has its obvious advantages, but she could have a painful disease, and not even know to treat it. Her parents discovered this condition when she was 5 years old, and accidently cut herself deeply with her father's farm tool - but had no reaction at all. Since then, her family kept careful watch over her.
