This section is a stub. Expansion needed.
By 2001, Hitomi's best friend Manaka had been seeing So Sejima for a while, to the point that she had gotten pregnant and given birth. Against the wishes of Hitomi and Renju, Manaka went to visit So as she still loved him, but was murdered by Saito Sejima, So's 12 year old son. So then ordered Rohan Kumakura to dispose of the body, and Hitomi and Renju followed them with a GPS tracker that they had given to Manaka. They then moved Manaka's body into a cold-storage warehouse that Renju's father owned, and kept it there for 18 years. With Manaka's baby having no parents, Hitomi took it upon herself to raise the child herself, with Renju promising to help out sometimes, and they named the baby Iris.

With Hitomi's support and Renju as one of her producers, Iris officially became the idol known as A-set in 2019.

Life after the Cyclops Case[]
After the death of Saito Sejima, Hitomi Sagan's life returned to calm and she continued to live with her daughter Iris Sagan.
During Half Body Serial Killings happened in 2020, she was lucky not to be involved in it. On February 15th, she encountered a Masked Woman in a park and tried to call an ambulance to take her to hospital for treatment. Since Masked Woman refused, Hitomi could only take her home to rest. During this time, she met Kuruto Ryuki who was searching for the whereabouts of the missing Kizuna Chieda and answered some of his questions.
After the Cathedral Explosion event, Kaname Date disappeared. Hitomi had been concerned about his whereabouts, but there had been no news for a full 6 years. 6 years later on February 14th, Ryuki revisited the Sagan Residence and asked Hitomi if she knew the whereabouts of Amame Doi. Hitomi replied that Amame stayed here with Iris that day, but left not long ago.
The next day, Date reappeared in the public eye, and the Nirvana Initiative had been stopped with his participation. A week later, Mizuki Date and Bibi went to Sagan Residence to visit Hitomi and Iris, and found Date lying on Hitomi's thighs acting like a cat.

Trivia[]
Etymology[]
- The name Hitomi (瞳) means "eye" or "pupil."
- Sagan (左岸) means "left shore," but the kanji 眼 (meaning "eyeball") is also read as "gan," so her family name can sound like "left eyeball."
General[]
- In the original version of the game's story, Hitomi was actually planned to be the main heroine of the game. A romance with the protagonist Kaname Date was planned as one of the key plotlines of the story, however, once the design for her daughter Iris Sagan was completed, game director Kotaro Uchikoshi liked her design so much that the story was rewritten to feature her as the main heroine instead.[2]
- In a fan-made Character Poll for AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES held on Twitter, Hitomi Sagan came in 9th place, tying with Pewter.[3]
