Hisoka Kurosawa is a character in Fatal Frame V. She owns Kurosawa's Antiques, and uses Shadow Reading skills to search for lost things and tell fortunes.

Past

Descended from one of the shrine maidens who fled Mount Hikami, Hisoka inherited both the Shadow Reading ability and the name "Kurosawa", which was given to certain priestesses who were designated guardians of the Shadowspring. She learned Shadow Reading from her own research and from old women in the area. One of the locals also left her the Camera Obscura which Hisoka and Yuri both use in the game. To fulfil her dream of running a café, Hisoka renovated a townhouse that had previously been an antiques shop, and ran her Shadow Reading business on the side.

Hisoka's skills at Shadow Reading became well-known locally. Her shop was popular among schoolgirls who wished to have their fortunes told, and people searching for lost items. She helped Ren out several times. Before the events of the game, she was approached by a woman who wanted help finding a missing relative, Akari Narumi. Hisoka traced Akari and found her standing on a cliff edge, but before Hisoka could reach her, Akari jumped to her death. The incident left Hisoka traumatised; she resolved not to take on any more missing person cases, but in practice she found it difficult to say no when people asked for her help.

Later she found Yuri in the same situation as Akari, and managed to save her at the last moment. Afterwards, Yuri moved into Kurosawa's Antiques with Hisoka, and the two became close. Nevertheless, Hisoka remained reluctant to take on missing person cases, and she warned Yuri against it as well.

Fatal Frame V

In the first chapter, Hisoka and Yuri visit Mikomori Hot Springs, where they hope to find an album of burial photos that Ren is interested in. Hisoka gives Yuri instructions about how to use the Camera Obscura and her own psychic abilities to follow the shadows of the past. They successfully locate the album. On their way out Yuri is attacked by a spirit; she defeats it, but the experience leaves her shaken, and Hisoka apologises for asking Yuri to come.

Between the first and second chapters, Hisoka receives a missing person report from a former regular, Fuyuhi Himino, concerning Haruka Momose. Hisoka feels she can't refuse. She leaves Yuri in charge of the shop and goes to the mountain alone. Believing that Haruka might have been taken as a Pillar, she goes to the Lake of the Departed at the mountain's summit, and there a spirit captures her and entombs her within a casket. Her Camera Obscura is carried by the water all the way downstream to the foot of the mountain, where Yuri finds it.

Yuri has begun to take on cases in Hisoka's absence, searching for her all the while, and eventually finds her at the Shrine on the Water. Hisoka says she wishes to stay as a sacrifice, so that Yuri will be safe, but Yuri refuses to leave her behind, and fights off the spirit of a shrine maiden who possesses Hisoka when they try to leave.

The two return to the shop. Yuri makes Hisoka a cup of coffee, in a scene echoing the aftermath of Yuri's own suicide attempt. Hisoka sleeps for the rest of the game, only reappearing in the final moments of the climax.

Endings

There are two possible endings, depending on Yuri's actions. In the Bride from Black Water Ending, Hisoka reaches the shore of the Lake of the Departed, and she and Yuri are reunited in the full light of day as the curse is lifted. In the Embrace Ending, Hisoka finds Yuri again on the cliff edge. She calls out to her, but Yuri jumps to her death before Hisoka can reach her. Hisoka collapses in tears on the ledge. It is not known which of these endings is canon.
