Fatal Frame IV Character
One of the four main characters of Fatal Frame IV. Choushiro is a former police detective who rescued five kidnapped girls 10 years ago. He left the police force after being unable to let go of his work, and continued on his own to pursue murder suspect You Haibara. He returns to the island, at the request of Ruka Minazuki's mother, to bring her back home.

Past

The detective that was pursuing You 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.

Ever since 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, Choushiro returned to the island in pursuit of You Haibara. It was then he witnessed Sakuya Haibara escaping from the basement where she was locked away. When Choushiro finally did catch up to You Haibara, it was at the top of Haibara Hospital. Haibara, who had been hiding behind hanging laundry, stabbed Choushiro. Choushiro rushed at Haibara, and both fell to their deaths.

Fatal Frame 4

Years later, Choushiro reawakens on the ground in front of Haibara Hospital, unaware that he is dead. He recalls Sayaka Minazuki asking him to return to the island and save Ruka. As he wakes, Choushiro sees You Haibara 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 in 1972, or whether it is only available to him now.

During the events of the game, Choushiro, like Ruka and Misaki, collects a piece of Sakuya Haibara'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 Haibara, 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 Chapter 3, Choushiro 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. Choushiro 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. Choushiro then goes to join the other spirits as they cross over.

Misc. Info

  • Choushiro's flashlight is known as the Spirit Stone Flashlight (霊石灯). He is the only character in the series so far not to fight with a Camera Obscura.
  • Choushiro can pick items up slightly more quickly than Ruka and Misaki, and can also climb or descend stairs faster.
