Misao Amakura is a character mentioned in supplementary material for Fatal Frame II. He is the father of Mio and Mayu Amakura, and a descendant of Dr. Kunihiko Asou, which means he is also related to Yuu Asou and Misaki Asou, though their precise relationship is unknown. When Misao married Shizu Amakura, he took her last name as he disliked the Asou name.

Like Shizu, Misao grew up in the mountains near Minakami Village. After Mayu's accident, Misao was part of the search party looking for the twins, but ended up wandering into the Lost Village and falling into the Hellish Abyss. Shizu told her daughters that he was dead, and eventually moved to the city to escape the rumours surrounding her daughters and her husband's disappearance.

The girls only knew their father through photographs since he died when they were so young, but shortly before the events of the game, Mayu has a dream about him. In the dream, Misao tries to prevent the twins from going into the mountains, but they ignore his warnings and keep going.

Misc. Info

• When Makoto Shibata and the developers were discussing the Hellish Abyss Ending, they imagined that Mio glimpsed her father among the writhing dead at the bottom of the Hellish Abyss. Since Misao's story did not make it into the final game, this was never made explicit.
