Lesson

Who's who: Chihiro's family

Remember who is in the Ogino family and what role each of them plays in the setup.

1 / 4

The Ogino family

The setup has three people: — Chihiro (Ogino Chihiro) — a 10-year-old girl, the main character. Soon she will become “Sen.” — Akio Ogino — the father: good-natured, overconfident, fond of a good meal, and dismissive of danger (“I've got credit cards and cash; I'll pay when the owners come back”). — Yuko Ogino — the mother: calm and a little strict; unlike her daughter, she isn't afraid to go into the tunnel. It's the parents' carelessness and appetite that will set off the trouble: in an empty “restaurant,” they will start eating food that isn't theirs.
