CHARACTER:
Name: Amakura Kei
Source: Fatal Frame III; The Tormented
History: A non-fiction writer with an interest in folklore, Kei was a close friend of both Hinasaki Mafuyu and Asou Yuu often times exchanging research notes with the two men. He's also the uncle of the twins, Mio and Mayu.
He had met Mafuyu when they were both working with Junsei Takamine, an author that both men admired. Afterwards, the elderly writer went missing along with is assistant and his editor, prompting Mafuyu to go investigate. That was the last anyone ever heard of them and only Mafuyu's younger sister, Miku, would ever know the full story behind their disappearances. Still, Kei has continued looking into Takamine's whereabouts to no avail.
Later on, his nieces disappear for approximately a week in the Minakami region, a place the two used to live and play in when their father and mother were in good health. While they were inseparable, only Mio was ever found again. When asked about what happened to her sister though, Mio, like Miku, wouldn't talk about that single incident. Seeing the distress that Mayu's disappearance caused her twin, Kei went to the Minakami region to investigate. During this time, he left Mio with his friend Yuu. There was nothing in the village when Kei arrived. The only object of interest found there was a strange camera that elicited a distressing response from his niece.
Deciding it was best to keep such an object away from Mio, he sent the camera to Yuu for safekeeping before continuing his research. It was around this time that Mio started to sleep more and more which prompted her uncle into researching the urban legend surrounding dreams. He probably knew what dangers lay in that field; since he mentions not wanting to become too deeply involved in a letter to Yuu (the same letter also mentions how folklore was Yuu and Mafuyu's field of interest). Kei's letters aren't dated, so it's difficult to confirm just when Yuu's death occurred as Kei continued to send his letters and information gathered to his deceased friend.
During the time he was sending Yuu notes, the writer notes that he had also started experiencing the dream that those under the Tattoo Curse witnessed. He was being drawn into the horrors of the Manor of Sleep because Mio and Rei had dreamt of him and with time running out for himself and Mio, Kei began searching more frantically for a way to free them from this Curse.
Upon discovering from Rei that Yuu had passed away, and later finding Miku in a coma state like Mio, Kei resolved to free them from this curse once and for all.
"I'm sure everything will be okay."
Personality: Kei is a lot like Yuu and Mafuyu, in that he's a kind and gentle man. He's smart and not nearly as naive as he's sometimes depicted in webmanga or the manga anthology. Seeing how Miku and Mio never said a word about what happened to their older siblings, Kei was still able to figure out that there was a chance that his friend and his niece had both been 'spirited away' (he mentions this briefly in a letter to Yuu, who had passed away at that time... Another loss that Kei was in the dark about) Likewise, he was able to dig up a lot of information on the Manor of Sleep urban legend in a span of two months. All of the letters he sent to Yuu were in relation to the information that Kei learned and wanted a second opinion on.
Like most men, he tends to put on a brave face. With his niece in emotional turmoil upon losing her sister and his own sister (also the twins' mother) in the hospital, Kei did his best to look after Mio. When he arrives at Rei's house late in the game, one gets the impression that he doesn't seem to be as phased by the deaths and disappearances. Sad at the loss, but not in grief like Miku, Mio and Rei were.
At least, not until one listens to him sleep talk.
There, the player can hear that Kei is just as tormented by the disappearances and deaths as the three girls. Calling out with familiar phrases heard through the game ('No... Don't go... Don't leave me behind.'), Kei will either utter the names of his nieces or the names of his best friends. After all, he's only human.
Biggest Fear: Losing everyone dear to him. He worked so hard to find Mafuyu, and to save Mio...
Powers: MANLY MAN! WITH MANLY HIDING!! I mean-
He has very weak spirit powers but being the only man in the whole game, he brings all the lady ghosts to the yard is physically fit! Kei will also be arriving to Jigoku Apartments with his Camera Obscura and type-07/type-14 film only. So while the Camera can 'detect' the presence of ghosts, that's about all it can do well.
