Biography[]

Birth and Background[]

Before the birth of Miu, Mafuyu Hinasaki and Miku Hinasaki are joined by the Yuukon ritual, a form of posthumous marriage. Miu is revealed to be a Shadowborn, the child of a dead person and a living one. Miu was conceived in Miku's dream, when she and Mafuyu were able to meet briefly at the Abyss of the Horizon after Rei Kurosawa is able to lift the curse of the Kuze manor.

When Miu was 3 years old, her mother disappeared without a trace. She never knew the love of a parent, and felt empty. She was raised by another woman, but she always missed her mother and wondered what happened to her.

Fourteen years later, Miu requested the help of Hisoka Kurosawa to help find her mother. However, she finds herself lured to Mount Hikami and disappears as well.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water[]

Yuri Kozukata goes in search of Miu after Hisoka disappears in the belief that if she finds Miu then she would find clues leading to the whereabouts of Hisoka. Yuri finds Miu in an Black Box and manages to get her off of the mountain. While she is resting at the shop, Yuri looks into Miu's dream but she ultimately turns her own sixth sense onto Yuri herself to see part of her past. Miu awakens, disgusted that Yuri used her sixth sense on her. Not long after, Yuri is lured to Mount Hikami and Miu takes the camera obscura to bring her back despite protests from Ren Hojo. While following Yuri's trace, Miu comes across visions of her mother following a path past the graveyard which she finds it to be blocked and unable to follow. After rescuing Yuri before she disappears deep into Lake Higan, the two become closer after sharing their experiences "seeing things that other people can't see."

Miu later returns to the mountain in another attempt to search for her mother. She follows the path past the graveyard to the House of Commitment. She sees several visions of her mother and finds notes about how her mother wished to perform a post-mortem marriage with her brother so that she can ease his pain. Upon finding the black box Miku is in, Miu is confronted by the old woman who presides over yuukon rituals, calling her a 'Yomi-ko', or "Child of the Night Spring." After defeating the old woman, Miu is able to retrieve her mother and both of them return to the shop and fall into a deep sleep. She wakes up and watches as Yuri goes to leave to look for Hisoka again.

After Yuri and Ren return to Hikami-yama, Miu has a dream of being in a boat and watching Miku in another boat in the her bridal outfit. She awakens to find Miku gone and a camera left on the bed and with a note saying that Miku was returning to the mountain. She follows Miku to the mountain and to Lake Higan and follows Miku onto the lake, saying that she does not want to be alone anymore. Together they walk and Miku explains that she came to the mountain hoping to see her brother one last time. Miu confides that she has no one and while her mother at least has her father, Miu is afraid of being alone again.

  • Like Mafuyu Hinasaki and Miku Hinasaki, Miu also wears a simple black choker around her neck.
  • Like Mafuyu, Miu is the first playable character of the game until being captured by a ghost.
  • Miu is referred to as a Shadowborn by the old woman at the House of Commitment right before Miu tries to open the box Miku is in.
    • A book called "Shadowborn" later talks about a legend about a woman whose lover disappeared, and ten years later becomes pregnant and claims it is her lover's child. The village does not believe this since they killed her lover ten years ago since he was an outsider. When the child is older she has eyes and hair like the woman's lover, and the child asks the village, "Why did you kill my father?"
