is the central character and antagonist of Koji Suzuki's ''Ring Trilogy'' novels, along with the numerous film and television adaptations of the books. Her name combines the Japanese words for "chaste" (''sada'') and "child" (''ko''). Sadako's fictional history alternates between continuities, but all involve her possessing supernatural abilities that cause a number of unfortunate events for her, leading to Sadako being thrown down and imprisoned in a well. She uses her powers of nensha to create a cursed video tape that will kill whoever watches it exactly one week after viewing it unless the tape is copied and shown to another person, who then must repeat the same process. Sadako has been played by a number of actresses in the media, including Rie Inō in ''Ring'' and ''Ring 2'', Hinako Saeki in the retconned ''Rasen'', Yukie Nakama in prequel ''Ring 0: Birthday'' as the protagonist, Ayane Miura in ''Ring: Kanzenban'', Tae Kimura in ''Ring: The Final Chapter'' and ''Rasen'', and Ai Hashimoto in ''Sadako 3D''. Foreign adaptations featured Bae Doona in the South Korean film ''The Ring Virus'', Daveigh Chase as Samara Morgan in the American films ''The Ring'', and Kelly Stables in ''The Ring Two''. ==Character Overview== Sadako's character is not directly portrayed in ''Ring'' until the final scenes of the film, but is expanded briefly in ''Rasen'' and to a much greater extent in ''Ring 0: Birthday'', although there are differences in these various portrayals. In all versions of the ''Ring'' cycle, she appears as a young woman dressed in white, whose face is concealed behind her long black hair. All incarnations involve Sadako being thrown down a well and imprisoned within. Her spirit survived, however, and put itself into a video tape that kills anyone who views it unless someone else watches it within seven days. If the week expires, the victim will die of a heart attack or of fright depending on the continuity. Most other incarnations share one thing in common: Sadako's need to reproduce, something she can not do herself, as she is portrayed as an intersexual. This is generally the reason why she creates the "Ring Virus", since she will "live on" in it, as long as her DNA merged with that of a strand of the smallpox virus still exists. In some incarnations, the "Ring Virus" is simply treated as a mysterious phenomenon rather than a biological virus; in these versions, she is portrayed as having created it to wreak vengeance on humanity. Sadako's goal is to make mankind aware of her suffering in life and uses the videotape through various means to achieve this. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sadako Yamamura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
