    There are two versions of "Toire No Hanako-san." The first version, released in 1995, was set in an elementary school and centered on a boy named Takuya and a new transfer student named Saeko (Maeda Ai plays Takuya's younger brother). Takuya's classmates think that Saeko has been possessed by Hanako, the ghost that lives in the bathroom. The rumor is especially encouraged by a girl who has a crush on Takuya and is jealous since Takuya likes Saeko. The second version, released in 1998, centers on a group of high school girls (among them Maeda Ai and Nomura Yuka) who inadvertently release a demonic doll from a shrine outside of their school. Maeda Ai stars in both versions, although she plays a boy in the first movie, and a girl in the second. Prior to the second movie, there was a 1997 video series "Toire No Hanako-san, " that also dealt with a group of high school girls and their encounters with the infamous Hanako.

    First-year junior high students Mai and Miyuki naturally huddle together during their transitional year from classmates of elementary school. Once in their more metropolitan junior high school, however, they are soon introduced to a wider and more exciting exposure to the world. On the positive side, this includes independent ventures into the more culturally notorious elements of Tokyo such as Harajuku with slightly drunken upperclassmen (BOYS!!). Unfortunately it also involves being thoroughly initiated into their new school's rumored history of an omen-filled death three years prior on the school's rooftop and stories of hauntings by the ghost of a young girl.

At that very moment, panicked students run into the office announcing that another student, Mizudani Sachie, has fainted while in the "Hanako stall" of the girl's bathroom, the rumored location of the haunting spirit of a young girl. When Sachie fails to regain consciousness, she is taken to the hospital, where she later awakens with no memory of the incident. Upon her return to school, however, Sachie now seems to have full insight into other things such as the manner of death or serious injury each student will face.
