—Choushiro Kirishima


Choshiro Kirishima (霧島 長四郎, Kirishima Chōshirō) is one of the four playable characters in Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. He has been to Rougetsu Island in the past, investigating the kidnappings of five young girls. He witnessed the disaster on the day the islanders mysteriously died, however he has yet to uncover the truth behind the catastrophe and the kidnappings.

Biography[]

Past[]

Choshiro is the detective that was pursuing Yo Haibara on Rougetsu Island, because of the many murders he had supposedly committed. Both rituals took place during his investigation, and he was on the island when they failed. While he searched for You in the basement of Haibara Hospital, he found and rescued Ruka Minazuki, Misaki Asou, Madoka Tsukimori, Tomoe Nanamura and Marie Shinomiya, who were kidnapped by Haibara to perform the secret, "genuine" version of the tourist ritual.

Following the incident he kept in contact with Sayaka Minazuki, Ruka's mother. He hid feelings for her which were not reciprocated. Two years after the failed ritual, Choshiro returned to the island in pursuit of You Haibara and witnessed Sakuya Haibara escaping from the basement where she was locked away. Choshiro eventually caught up to You at the top of Haibara Hospital. You, who had been hiding behind hanging laundry, stabbed Choshiro. Choshiro rushed at Haibara, and both fell to their deaths.

Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse[]

Years later, Choshiro reawakens on the ground in front of the hospital, unaware that he is dead. He recalls Sayaka Minazuki asking him to return to the island and save Ruka. As he wakes, Choshiro sees You entering the hospital, and so he begins the chase once again, battling ghosts with a special flashlight, created by Dr. Kunihiko Asou and given to Choushiro by Sayaka. It is not clear whether she gave him this flashlight before his return to the island, or whether it is only available to him now.

During the events of the game, Choshiro, like Ruka and Misaki, collects a piece of Sakuya's shattered ritual mask. Sayaka asks him to give the piece to Ruka; he finds her underground, in the Moon-Reflection Well, looking exactly as she did when he found her ten years ago. While he is there, he sees You, and once more pursues him to the roof, where they repeat their final confrontation. When he falls from the roof again, and witnesses his own body lying in the same place where he woke up in Phase III, Choshiro finally understands that he has been dead all along. Sayaka, who is also dead, appears and stands with him.

When Ruka defeats Sakuya and plays the song, the winds and forces surrounding Sakuya are too strong for her to overcome, and she drops the mask. Choshiro comes to the rescue, picking the mask up and placing it on Sakuya's face. With this act, the ritual is 'completed' and the curse lifted. Choshiro then goes to join the other spirits as they cross over.
