The famous soprano, Akitani Reiko.
She was acquainted with Shitara Renki, and from Fujino's observation, they seemed to have quite a good relationship.
That surprised Fujino a little.
One was from a movie, the other from the TV series, yet the two of them actually knew each other...

Well, compared to Sonoko, Shitara clearly knew how to dress herself better—at the very least, she did not use a headband to pin all her hair back. Like Sakura, she even had a lock of hair hanging at each temple
