Well, I would choose Hanako, and here's why:

Lilly: Would be somewhat incapacitated in such a foreign and strange enivroment. Vision is needed.

Shizune: While deafness isn't as bad as blindness in this case, but still bad.

Emi: Emi, while otherwise useful, would just fall into the sand

Rin: ....no

Misha: Misha would probably be able to focus on trying to survive for all of 10 seconds

So, Hanako:

Hanako: -Disability only comes into play in certain situations
-The quietness and loneliness of the island would do her good
-Diligent and intelligent

BESTGIRL COMES ALONG

You've contradicted yourself.

Or pantomime to explain it which is far easier.

@Paragon: Emi wouldn't just fall into the sand for no reason. That'd be stupid. And Hanako's disability is constantly in play. Deep-rooted self-loathing and depression don't just switch off when it's convenient. Loneliness is one of her core problems, not a good thing. And where do we see her displaying any significant degree of diligence or intelligence beyond any of the others?

Actually, I'd bring Jigoro. Even if he can't actually hunt for shit, I can steal his sword and put him to work.

I just flashed on a Misha-in-Castaway scene. She's blubbering face-down on a big rock, filthy and ragged and miserable after struggling to survive for several days, both mentally and physically, breaking down in tears. Smash cut to her tanned, toned body, dusted with sand and clad in only a small animal-hide loincloth, as she deftly hurls a spear clean through the side of a wild boar, and gazes upon its dying, gurgling body with a cold, sharp, analytical visage. Superimposed subtitle: TEN MONTHS LATER

She copes better when alone or in the company of few close friends. She should, she's done it for years.

She gets good grades despite hardly attending class…

Or, failing that, you can ridicule him when he botches it.

I can imagine it may well be surprisingly easy to do that, simply by sacrificing your dignity.
Make yourself look absolutely pathetic whilst trying to hunt that warthog, and he'll start off on a rant about how kids these days can't even kill a pathetic little animal and show you how a man does it

In the context that quote is from, no, it's not.

Dignity? Never heard of it.

Worst case scenario, I kill him with his own sword while he sleeps and go cannibal.

Genuinely surprised Potato didn't say Hideaki.

I dunno, he's got a better head on his shoulders than some characters I could mention...

Can I take Hideaki instead? I won't hurt him.

Plus, I get the impression he'd have a fair amount of knowledge of what was on the island, and at least stop me from eating something that would turn my liver to a necrotic mush

Jigoro all the way:)) he would chop tree's with his sword to make a house, maybe a boat, get food with his sword like fish or other animals and coconuts, kill off any dangerous natives...so yeah perfect for the situation, all i would need is flattering and lying:)) TADAA

Shizune most probably, She would keep a calm head during the situation unlike some other individuals. (Looking at you, Misha, Hanako)

Im sure she would be able to figure out how to survive, and would mainly use me to be her ears.
I'd happily follow her orders if It means survival after all.

(Im basing this off communication being fine between us, either we both know JSL, (Or BSL, I know that.))
