Fatal Frame Ghost Lord Himuro "Nobody leaves here alive!"

Lord Himuro was the last family master before the Calamity occurred. He was a wealthy land owner that controlled vast areas of land in the region around Himuro Mansion. Like the family masters before him, he led the performance of the rituals that took place in Himuro Mansion. These rituals included the Blinding Ritual, Demon Tag Ritual and the Strangling Ritual. During the Blinding Ritual, Lord Himuro applied the Blinding Mask to Blinded.

Lord Himuro wore the traditional Mask of Reflection at all times during the performance of these rituals. The Mask of Reflection changed into the face of an angel or a demon's facial expression depending on the nature of the one who is wearing the mask. In Lord Himuro's case, it changed into that of a demon.

When Kirie began to fall in love with a visitor to Himuro Mansion, Lord Himuro feared Kirie would lose her potential as a Rope Shrine Maiden. As a result, he ordered the priests to have the visitor killed and his body hidden so Kirie would never be able to find it. Unfortunately, Kirie eventually figured out what happened and became depressed, which led to her eventual failure as a Rope Shrine Maiden.

During the Strangling Ritual, Lord Himuro was one of the rope pullers, along with four priests. The ritual failed and the Malice began spilling out into the mansion. After that, Lord Himuro went insane. He went on a killing spree, roaming the mansion decapitating anyone he came across with his katana. After everyone else in Himuro Mansion was dead, Lord Himuro came to regret what he had done and committed suicide in the Grand Hall in front of the family altar.
