Persona 4 (Anime)[]
In the anime, she was first seen with Yu by Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, Rise Kujikawa, and Nanako Dojima. The girls were shocked as they thought that Yu was dating an older lady. During the Summer Festival, she thanked Yu for helping her to regain and cherish her memories of her love for her husband and bid him and Nanako goodbye.
Previously, on August 17, she was found by Yu in front of the shrine's entrance. A thief had robbed her and she was already unconscious when Yu discovered her. Yu brought her to the hospital, the former then found out from Sayoko Uehara that the old lady could have hit her head when the thief pushed her. The next day, she saw Yu who was actually going to visit her at the hospital waiting for a bus and they then went to the Samegawa Flood Plain, where she told him about her late husband's passing.
She also told Yu that she will be moving soon, as Inaba holds many memories of her and her husband together. Hisano produced a beautiful comb, which was given to her by her late husband a long time ago, but she claimed that she didn't need it anymore; she threw the comb into the river saying that she saw no need to cling on to old memories of her love for her late husband. Before leaving, she told Yu that she was glad to see him again and that he is a spitting image of her late husband during his younger years.
At the Summer Festival, she was surprised that Yu returned the comb to her and it was returned the same way her husband had given it her many years before. She cried happily in reminiscence and said that she will never throw away something so precious to her again. At the entrance of Tatsuhime Shine, she thanked him again for everything he had done for her. During the credits, she is seen donning a blue kimono with the comb in her hair, smiling happily.
