Yonaka Kurai (倉井 ヨナカ) is the main protagonist of Mogeko Castle. She is a highschool girl and the younger sister of Shinya Kurai.
Physical Description[]
Yonaka has fair skin, black eyes with white pupils, and black hair with braided pigtails. Her bangs cover her right eye.
She wears a typical Japanese high school uniform consisting of a white dress shirt, a red plaid ribbon, a gray blazer with two brown buttons, a red plaid pleated skirt, pure white panties, dark gray stockings, and black loafers.
In Mogeko Castle, she is shown wearing the scalped top half of King Mogeko's head as a hat in the Normal ending when she becomes Lord Prosciutto.
Personality[]
Yonaka is depicted as a doting younger sister who loves her brother. She admires her brother greatly, wishing for nothing more than to see and be together with him again, due to him leaving her and their family sometime when she was in Junior High.
She is a very serious, kind, and accepting girl; she was quick to accept cooperating with Defect Mogeko, despite not being wholly aware of the reasons concerning his imprisonment. Her hobby is eating candy under the stars. [2] She also likes white noodles. [2] Yonaka does not listen to music and has no interest in it because everything just sounds like noise to her. [3]
However, like many of Deep-Sea Prisoner's characters, she also has a darker side; in the events of Mogeko Castle, she occasionally demonstrates a sinister side to her, and during most of the game, she has the option to kill several Mogeko or generally act cruelly to them with no reasoning or justification.
In the Normal End of Mogeko Castle, after being forced to kill her brother in self-defense, Yonaka finally snaps and becomes cold and psychopathic, killing King Mogeko effortlessly and imprisoning Moge-ko. After this, she becomes the new ruler of Mogeko Castle and is henceforth known as "Lord Prosciutto."
Deep-Sea Prisoner commented that despite Yonaka and Shrimp being protagonists with pigtails, they have completely different personalities. [4]
Background[]
Yonaka's brother Shinya seems to have left her and their family when she was in junior high. Several years seem to have passed since the two had seen each other, as Yonaka was a second-year high school student when Shinya finally returned to their home.
Both her and Shinya got good grades in school. [5]

Relationships[]
Relatives[]
Shinya Kurai[]
Shinya is Yonaka's older brother. Yonaka dearly loves and admires him, to the point of styling her hair in a manner to match that of her brother's. She is known to like him an "uncomfortable" amount, her feelings ranging from sisterly to romantically incestuous at times. The two share a madness - a madness more prevalent in Shinya - but also present in Yonaka. At the end of Mogeko Castle, it is revealed that he wanted to kill Yonaka but also loved her almost as much as she loved him. Shinya succeeded in murdering Yonaka in Bad End VII.
Unnamed Daughter[]
The relationship between Yonaka and the unnamed daughter she has with Moge-ko is currently unknown.
Mogeko Castle Cast[]
Defect Mogeko[]
Defect Mogeko was Yonaka's guide and one-off partner. During her foray into the depths of Mogeko Castle, they help each other escape, in which they succeed in one ending. They first met on the third floor after Yonaka read a book about "defect hunting" and was subsequently captured by the Mogekos, inadvertently imprisoning her in the same cell as him. She provided him the key to remove the restraints keeping him stuck in prison, and in return, he helps her reach the top floor. She starts deeply caring for him as they travel together in the castle, developing a partnership.
It is implied she might have grown a liking towards him. In the sixth bad ending of Mogeko Castle, Yonaka's romantic feelings for Defect Mogeko are emphasized; she abandons her feelings for her brother and chooses to elope from the castle with Defect Mogeko, running off into the sunset together. It is said the two then got married. [6]
In several artworks featuring both of them, Defect Mogeko is usually depicted as a baby while Yonaka treats him as such. At one point in the game, Yonaka finds him "cute." Defect Mogeko puts on a cool act in front of her the most. [6] When asked his opinion on her, Deep-Sea Prisoner stated, "It is up to imagination." [7]
In Funamushi Private Deep-Sea Academy, she and Defect Mogeko are dating. Deep-Sea Prisoner describes them to be "very close", [8] and they also live together. [9] Yonaka likes to age play with him. [10]
Moge-ko[]
Like most of her perverted brethren, Moge-ko chases Yonaka throughout the castle attempting to capture her and turn her into a plaything. They first met on the fourth floor of Mogeko Castle, right before Yonaka and Defect Mogeko took the elevator to the fifth floor. At first, Moge-ko puts a cute persona in front of Yonaka, making her think she is just a regular schoolgirl; this immediately changes when Moge-ko shows her violent and intimidating self and begins chasing Yonaka and Defect Mogeko.
When Moge-ko does not succeed in capturing Yonaka and Defect Mogeko, she becomes irritated and releases a Mogeko monster from its cage to chase them. In the Toy ending, when Moge-ko does succeed in capturing them, she kills Defect Mogeko and nearly does the same to Yonaka before changing her mind deciding to make her a "toy" instead, torturing and abusing her until she dies.
When Yonaka becomes Lord Prosciutto in the Yonaka Castle ending, Moge-ko is forced to serve under her. One artwork depicts Moge-ko being leashed like an animal on the ground while Yonaka taunts her. A scene from the General Hashasky's Great Adventure trailer shows Yonaka using Moge-ko as a makeshift chair. The two also have a daughter together.
Moge-ko feels good when Yonaka strokes her tail. [11]
In Funamushi Private Deep-Sea Academy, Yonaka trained Moge-ko to be her pet. [12]
Mogeko[]
The majority of the Mogeko in Mogeko Castle want to sexually assault Yonaka upon her arrival. Most end up chasing Yonaka throughout her adventure in the castle in an attempt to capture her. In the first bad ending, they successfully capture and sexually assault her.
Special Mogeko[]
All seven Special Mogekos assist Yonaka as she climbs the floors of the castle.
King Mogeko[]
Like the other Mogekos, King Mogeko is madly infatuated with Yonaka. In the "Happy End" King Mogeko managed to capture Yonaka and make her his own plaything, stating how Yonaka is stuck with him forever.
Abilities[]
Skillset[]
- Knife Wielding - Yonaka wields a knife given to her by Somewhat Strange Mogeko, which can be used to kill Mogekos in the game.
- Strength - She has a grip strength of 70. [13] This is surprisingly strong for her age, as the average grip strength for a teenage girl her age is estimated to be around 30 (in kilograms).
Trivia[]
- The kanji in "Kurai" means "community warehouse"/"town cellar" while "Yonaka" means "late night" (sometime between 11pm and 2am). [14]
- "Kurai" is also a homophone for "dark." Read together in the Japanese surname-first style, it can read as "a dark late night."
- Three painting-like pictures of Yonaka as Lord Prosciutto are parodies of real-life paintings, all based on events of the Christian Bible.
- One painting is a parody of Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam," with Yonaka being depicted as God, one Mogeko being depicted as a human, and the others being angels.
- Another depicts Yonaka and the majority of the Mogeko Castle cast having a feast, parodying Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper." In this painting, Yonaka is depicted as Jesus Christ, the surrounding Mogeko being Jesus' twelve apostles.
- The last painting, found in the omake of the official Mogeko Castle page, depicts Yonaka, Moge-ko, and two Mogekos having a meal, parodying Caravaggio's "Supper at Emmaus" (London). In this painting, Yonaka is depicted as Jesus Christ, and the other Mogeko being Jesus' apostles.
- Her menu sprite in Mogeko Castle changes throughout the game; for most of the game, she is shown with a blank expression and her bangs covering her right eye. After Defect Mogeko sacrifices himself, she is shown crying. After escaping the castle initially, her eyes are gray with black pupils. After leaving through the door on the seventh floor of the castle, her eyes become red with black pupils, and she has a smirk on her face.
- From 28 June to 3 August, 2017, Deep-Sea Prisoner hosted a popularity poll that let people vote on their three most favorite characters of hers. When the results came out on 7 September, 2017, Yonaka Kurai was ranked 24th. [15]
- Yonaka's genderbend name would remain the same. [16]
- For Halloween, Yonaka would dress up as a demon. [17]
