Takashi Asou is a character in Fatal Frame: The Movie. A young man who helps out at the school as the gardener, he is introverted and has difficulty talking to people. He always drags one leg. He lives with his elder sister, Mayumi, who is a teacher at the school, and she watches over him protectively.

Story

An unknown time before the events of the movie, Takashi discovered the body of a girl floating in a water reserve near the school. He did not report his discovery, but began to visit the dead girl regularly, throwing flowers into the water as an offering. When Mayumi found out what he was doing, she came to the conclusion that he had killed the girl. She did her best to keep the secret and shield him from the consequences, but although she begged him not to, Takashi continued to visit the water reserve and make offerings.

As the curse begins to spread through the school, Takashi has a chance meeting with Aya in the woods. He mistakes her for the dead girl and believes she has come to life and escaped the water. In an attempt to stop her wandering, he carries her back to the water reserve and throws her in, along with another flower offering. As he leaves, he finds his sister by the river, trying to drown Michi. It is revealed that Mayumi has been killing the students to prevent them from finding the body in the water reserve.

When Takashi confesses to Mayumi about what he has done to Aya, Mayumi decides their only chance is to run away. They flee through the forest, but Takashi slips and falls down a cliff into the river. Mayumi rushes to save him, but at the last moment, she hears the police approaching. Rather than live as a criminal, she chooses to die, and she and Takashi both drown.
