Miku is the main character of Fatal Frame.
Her family has a history of people gifted
with a special "sixth sense." Like the rest of
her family, Miku can "see things" that ordi-

mysterious death of their parents, he is
the only family Miku has left. Mafuyu
visits the Himuro mansion in search of

like his mother, can seal a spirit's soul
in a photograph with the special
antique camera.

gave him advice about his job, but also
was a good friend.
Formerly a best-selling novelist, Takamine
has fallen on hard times professionally.
Hoping to pen a new bestseller, he
researches an ancient ritual performed by
the Himuro family. Deciding that a more
personal investigation is required, he jour-

then, no one has heard from them...
Junsei Takamine
Koji is Takamine’s editor. He accompa-
nied Takamine on his trip, hoping to
gather materials for his own horror maga-

report made by Koji to the editorial office.

She too has disappeared while visiting the

sixth sense. Prior to their departure, she
had an ominous premonition regarding
the mansion, and now she too is missing.
