| - Rokkenjima is a fictional Japanese island of which the world of the 07th Expansion's 2007 murder mystery dōjin soft visual novel series Umnineko no Naku Koro ni (also known as "Umineko When They Cry", "When They Cry" and "When the Seagulls Cry") takes place. A secluded isle located off the coast of Japan, Rokkenjima is owned by the extremely wealthy Ushiromiya family with Kinzo as the patriarch. Once a year, the family gets together for an annual meeting, mostly to discuss who would inherit Kinzo's fortune once he dies. In 1986, a series of grisly murders transpire on the island; appearing to be the work of a witch, the goal for the rest of the series is to find out who the murderer is, and acquire the mass fortune. Rokkenjima was originally named Azukishima, and was believed to have been inhabited by demons. That is until a traveling monk purified the island by building a shrine on a rock.

The design of the exterior of the main mansion's guest house is based on a mansion in Kyu-Furukawa Gardens in Kita, Tokyo. Rokkenjima is owned by and home to the main branch of the extremely wealthy Ushiromiya family. In the past, it was once called Azukishima(小豆島, lit. "Azuki Bean Island"), mispronunced from Akujikishima(悪食島, lit. "Evil Appetite Island"), and was said to have dwelled by evil spirits until a travelling monk pacified the island by building a shrine on top of a rock. Kinzo Ushiromiya, the patriarch of the family, lives there with his eldest son Krauss and Krauss' immediate family. Once a year, the other members of the Ushiromiya family travel to Rokkenjima for an annual family meeting. The events of the 1986 meeting, during which everyone on Rokkenjima is killed in a series of bizarre murders, are a central focus of the visual novel series.
