Hiyori manages to save Yato from the underworld by discovering that his true
name was Yaboku. How did she come to this conclusion?

How does Hiyori figure out Yato's real name?


Since calling him by his name "Yato" didn't work, Hiyori knows that name is
fake. Yet, she recalls how fondly Yato looked as his small shrine and the name
engraved on it. So she deduces the name engraved in the shrine is correct, but
pronounced differently.

She changes the reading of the katakana ト(to) to the reading of the very
similar kanji 卜(boku).
