1. 🌟 Katayose Yura: The Life and Anguish of a Tragic Genius Actress
· Katayose Yura is a genius actress who made a powerful first appearance in Volume 11 but soon met a tragic death.
· She was murdered by Kamiki Hikaru, the mastermind behind the story.
· While official information about her is scarce, she is known to be 25 years old with B blood type.
· Her first appearance showed her having a deep conversation with Kamiki Hikaru, who introduced himself as 'Mr. Miki,' at a members-only bar.
· It is presumed that Kamiki approached Yura using his connections as an entertainment agency president.
· Yura was a top star frequently featured on magazine covers and in advertisements, and her industry reputation was overwhelmingly positive, receiving enthusiastic offers from producers.
· However, behind her glamorous career, she harbored deep stress and anxiety.
· Her scene at the bar, drinking and expressing worries about movie schedules and the rise of new actors, was striking.
· Kamiki listened intently to Yura's words, affirmed her completely, and manipulated her perfectly.
· This aligns with a recurring theme throughout 'Oshi no Ko': an older man preying on and manipulating the heart of a young woman.
· Similar dynamics are seen in the relationships between Gorou-sensei and Tendouji Sarina, Saitou Ichigo and Hoshino Ai, and Hoshino Aqua and Arima Kana.
· The image of a mentally immature young woman being drawn to an adult's embrace, who completely affirms her and shows her a new world, leads to dangerous innocence.
· As Saitou Miyako's dialogue suggests, the entertainment industry harbors a cruel truth: it operates by destroying the hearts and lives of children.
· Katayose Yura, too, became a victim of this darkness in the entertainment industry, and of Kamiki Hikaru, the predator at its center.

2. 🚨 The Full Story of Katayose Yura's Murder and the True Culprit
· Katayose Yura's death was a planned 'accident cover-up.'
· The incident began with a casual conversation after they left the bar.
· When Yura told Kamiki she would go to the mountains next week, Kamiki gave her an ominous warning.
· He said, 'Be careful if you go alone. You might not be found if something happens in the mountains,' and 'Watch your step,' foreshadowing the tragedy.
· A few days later, Yura was found in the mountains, one shoe off, head hit against a rock, in critical condition.
· Kamiki coldly asked her, 'Are you alive? I told you to be careful,' and Yura's last word was 'Murderer.'
· The important point is that Kamiki himself did not physically push Yura.
· He makes it a principle to commit murder without dirtying his own hands, subtly manipulating individuals connected to his targets to carry out the killings.
· The person who comes to mind here is Nino Fuyuko, a former B-Komachi member.
· Nino was later arrested for assaulting Ruby and testified about past incidents involving Kamiki during police interrogation.
· Therefore, it is highly probable that Katayose Yura's fall was either carried out by Nino under Kamiki's instruction or that Nino orchestrated an incident to cause the accident.
· Kamiki can be described as the worst kind of serial killer, indirectly enjoying the moment of death from the scene.

3. 💔 Kamiki Hikaru's Insane Motive for Murder
· Kamiki Hikaru's motive for murdering Katayose Yura stems from an insane art-for-art's-sake philosophy, aimed at immortalizing the absolute existence of 'Hoshino Ai.'
· In the latter half of the story, the mysterious girl Tsukuyomi speaks for Kamiki's psychology, saying, 'By killing those who surpass Hoshino Ai, Hoshino Ai's weight is increased.'
· For Kamiki, Ai was both the cause of his destruction and the ultimate light he had ever encountered in his life.
· If a talent comparable to or surpassing Ai were to appear in the world, overshadowing Ai's existence, it would shake Ai's absolute status for him.
· Therefore, when he found someone with a light comparable to Ai's, he would crush that light before it could fully develop, thereby solidifying the conclusion that 'Ai truly was the greatest existence.'
· One of the criteria for 'someone who surpasses Ai' is 'having stars in their eyes.'
· In 'Oshi no Ko,' characters with stars in their eyes are extremely limited to Hoshino Ai, Aqua, Ruby, and Kamiki himself.
· The only person outside of this bloodline who had stars in their eyes was Katayose Yura.
· Immediately after leaving the bar, when Yura told Kamiki her dream of 'continuing to appear in good works and one day starring in a masterpiece that will last 100 years,' her eyes shone with the same light as Ai's.
· Kamiki must have decided at that moment, 'I must kill this person.'
· The higher her ambition and the more genuine her talent, the more she appeared to Kamiki as the perfect sacrifice.
· To prevent the 'image' of Ai, whom he loved and hated, from being tarnished, he eliminated all other possibilities – this was why Yura had to die.
· There could be no more unreasonable and tragic motive than that she was too genuine a genius.

4. 🔍 Post-Murder Story and Remaining Questions
· Katayose Yura's death was likely treated as a 'disappearance' on the surface.
· Her body was not found after the incident.
· This is supported by a scene in the '15-Year Lie' movie casting meeting where a producer expresses confusion, saying she 'suddenly lost contact.'
· If her death had been confirmed and reported as an accident or incident, a producer knowledgeable about industry affairs would surely know.
· In other words, Kamiki murdered her and then made her existence vanish from the world like smoke.
· However, a major question arises here.
· Kurokawa Akane, near the final chapter, tells Aqua, while deducing that Nino was Kamiki's accomplice, 'Kano Ryosuke, Katayose Yura, Amamiya Gorou. There is one more person directly involved in their deaths.'
· It's puzzling why Akane was so certain about Katayose Yura's death.
· Kano Ryosuke was reported in the news, and Amamiya Gorou's body discovery in Miyazaki was known to Aqua, so that's understandable.
· However, Katayose Yura was, on the surface, a missing person who had lost contact.
· No matter how sharp Akane's profiling abilities, it would be difficult for her to immediately connect the disappearance of a major actress with whom she had no contact to a murder by Kamiki.
· Possible scenarios include Akane independently tracking Yura's whereabouts during the production of the '15-Year Lie' movie, or deducing it by working backward from the condition of 'having stars in their eyes' that Kamiki would target.
· In any case, Yura's death became crucial evidence proving the ongoing malice of the monster known as Kamiki Hikaru.
· It can be said that the sacrifice of Katayose Yura, a genius, ironically became the catalyst for revenge, accelerating the story.
