Takeru Ugajin

Shadow Priestess Character Takeru Ugajin "It's not like we can party down, but we should try to lighten up." Kanji/Kana 宇賀神 尊 Alias — Occupation Urban explorer Status Dead Cause of Death Possessed by Tooru Nue/Kumi Suzumori First Appearance Chapter 9

Takeru Ugajin is a character in Fatal Frame: Shadow Priestess. He is the leader of the urban exploration group Moebius. They visit the abandoned Karasawa Elementary and run into the modern architecture class from Fujisawa University. Before long, both groups come under attack from ghosts, and the school is trapped inside a Dark Seal, so no one can leave.

As Sara and the others are discussing how to break the Dark Seal, Tooru Nue enters. His behaviour is markedly out of character, and Sara and Tousei guess that he has been possessed and become an evil spirit. Takeru unsuspectingly approaches Tooru and pats his shoulder, but the flesh gives way under his hand and engulfs his arm. Unable to escape, he is fully absorbed, and the spirit takes on Takeru's shape. Declaring that he is hungry and it is time for the class's three o'clock snack, he claws his belly open and commences eating his own intestines.

Sara exorcises the spirit using the Camera Obscura, and for a moment Takeru returns to his former self. However, the damage done to his body is too great, and he dies moments later.

Takeru becomes a spirit, trapped in the elementary school until the curse is lifted. In Chapter 46, when Reiji Hotei becomes separated from the others, Takeru and Mikiko Hashiki trick and attack him, but they are driven off by Mozu and Tsugumi.

In the final chapter, the surviving members of Moebius are shown praying in a cemetery, paying their respects to the friends they lost.
