Profile
Chieko is a 16-year-old waitress. She has long black hair and wears a black apron over a white waitress outfit and a red ribbon with a dragon brooch over it. It is known that Chieko knows Chinese medicine and practices Tai Chi.

A Twist of Fate
Chieko became a suspect after the player and Jack found a receipt for a restaurant the victim visited, where she served him. She was not surprised that Cheng was killed, saying he earned his money in dubious ways. When Jack asked what she meant, Chieko said the victim ran a gang of pickpockets, offering them shelter in exchange for what they managed to steal from tourists. Other than that, there was not much she could say about the victim as she did not know him on a personal level.

Chieko was interrogated again after it was revealed that she and her brother Hiroshi were once a part of Cheng's gang. She said her brother had disappeared one day, prompting her to leave the gang as well. When Jack asked if she knew what happened, Chieko became defensive telling them to stay out of her business. She had been working hard to go straight, doing whatever she could so that she could make ends meet.

Chieko was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Fang Di Yun for Cheng's murder. However, she requested the team's help; being impressed with the player wanting to find the Cheng's killer, she felt she could trust them to help find her brother Hiroshi. Last she remembered, her brother was approached by some organization who was offering orphans a brighter future. Believing it to be another gang trying to persuade him, she said he should ignore it. However, the two of them got into an argument, then all of a sudden he was gone. She did not know what the organization that took him was called, but Jack assured her they would make sure to find him. She was spoken to again about their findings, the fact that Hiroshi was likely taken by SOMBRA and was brainwashed. She was shocked to hear of what they intended to do, saying that he needed more help then ever. However, she felt she did all that she could to find him, even searched for him in Seoul after getting a tip-off that he was there, despite not being anywhere to be found there.
