For the first time, Samara, Japanese of the Sadako Yamamura, appears in the novel by the Codisi Code "Call", published in 1991. According to some information, the girl had 2 real prototypes described by Professor at Tokyo University of Tomokyti Fukorai, who decided to prove the existence of mongraphia and telekinease.

Samara younger than the Japanese predecessor - she died at 7 years old, and Sadako in 19. both have a unique ability to "burn out" images on the surface of the material world items, as well as to send vision and hallucinations on people, transfer their memories to them. Thus, Morgan created a deadly video tape, which brings people to death.
