![]() Kafka is struck by the thought that she could be his mother. Kafka, unsure of what to do, visits the Komura Memorial library, where he meets Oshima, a well-dressed young librarian, and Miss Saeki, an extremely elegant, middle-aged woman who runs the library. ![]() When they arrive in the town of Takamatsu, Sakura gives Kafka her phone number. They both agree that chance encounters are important, and possibly even the result of fate.

At a rest stop on the journey, Kafka meets a girl named Sakura, who is a few years older than him. With only a backpack of possessions, Kafka gets on a bus bound for Shikoku in Western Japan.
