How to Find Mama Shoko’s Real Name in Emio – The Smiling Man

One of the few frustrating and confusing parts of Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club comes partway through the game’s story. After meeting Mama Shoko in her bar, you have a challenging question posed by the game. You have to find out Mama Shoko’s real name in Emio – The Smiling Man to continue.

Where to Find Mama Shoko’s Real Name

The tricky part about this whole situation is you can only really find out her real name at a certain point in the game. It is definitely a blink-and-you’ll-miss it moment. You can find out her name while you are examining the bar for clues to continue the main story.

There is a tiny piece of paper just behind her head that is easy to miss. Fortunately, you have to examine it to continue playing and it contains her real name. The unfortunate part is you may not realize that the game is going to ask you to physically type out that exact name right after you see it. So, you can’t exactly go back and look for it once it asks you. You kind of just had to have memorized it ahead of time.

What Is Mama Shoko’s Real Name Answer in Emio – The Smiling Man?

Fortunately, while you may have skipped over or forgotten Mama Shoko’s real name while investigating in Emio – The Smiling Man, I have the actual answer for you. Here is what you need to type in the box for Mama Shoko’s actual name:

• Michiyo Miyashita

I do believe that it is possible to continue this part with only one of these names typed into the box. I think the game is somewhat forgiving in that way and will give you the correct answer if you just put Michiyo, for instance. However, make sure to have the spelling correct exactly as above to continue.
