	In [[Zero Novel]], Kirie is a girl who was once sacrificed to the [[Hell Gate]], resurrected in a virtual world as the antagonist of a video game. After some time, the virtual version of Kirie began to show a will of her own, and as a result of her interference, the Hell Gate could no longer be completely closed, even by sacrificing young girls. [[Kitaike]], the creator of the game, plotted to lure in a [[Mafuyu Hinasaki (Zero Novel)\|young man]] who would take the place of her [[Kirie's Love\|beloved]] and subdue her rebellious spirit. Before Kitaike can achieve his goals, however, Kirie lashes out and throws him into the Hell Gate. Stricken with remorse at all the pain she has caused, Kirie walks inside the Hell Gate as well, closing it behind her.

			}}'''Kirie''' is the main antagonist in the first Fatal Frame game. She was the last [[Rope Shrine Maiden]] to perform the [[Strangling Ritual]] at [[Himuro Mansion]] before the [[Calamity]] occurred and the [[Malice]] was released.

			==[[Demon Tag Ritual]]==
			When Kirie was about seven years old, she participated in a game of [[Demon Tag]] that was played on the [[Timeline (FF1)#Ten years before the Calamity (1827?)\|26th of November 1827]]. All of the girls in the [[Himuro family]] above the age of seven, including Kirie, were gathered into the [[Demon Mouth]] in [[Himuro Mansion]].<ref>http://www.tecmo.co.jp/product/zero/himuro/menu.htm#</ref> As the last girl to be caught, and therefore the one considered to have the greatest spiritual power, Kirie was selected to be the next Rope Shrine Maiden.<ref>[[Blind Demon Ritual Document]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref>

			Following the [[Demon Tag Ritual]], Kirie was taken away from her family and isolated from the outside world for ten years. During this time, she lived alone in her [[Dungeon\|cell]] at Himuro Mansion with hardly any guests and only the attending [[Headless Priests\|priests]] for company.<ref>[[Strangling Ritual Document]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref>

			==Kirie and Her Lover==
			[[Image:Kirie and Her Lover.jpg\|left\|100px]]Near the end of her seclusion period, there was a [[Kirie's Lover\|visitor]] staying at the mansion. Kirie saw him out of her window,<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 1]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref> and they met one another unexpectedly in the [[Cherry Atrium]].<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 2]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref> He continued to visit her and tell her about the outside world, and Kirie slowly began to fall in love with him, and learn the simple joy of life.<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 3]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref>

			Suddenly, the young man stopped visiting. The truth was that [[Lord Himuro]] ordered the man to be disposed of, out of fear that he was becoming too close to Kirie and might cause Kirie to not fulfill her duty as the Rope Shrine Maiden.<ref>[[Priest's Writings 2]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref> The head priest told Kirie that the guest had gone back to his home village, but Kirie had a disturbing dream about him and realised what had really happened.<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 4]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref> Stricken by guilt and regret,<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 5]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref> Kirie began to question her own ability to serve as the Rope Shrine Maiden.<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 6]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref>

			The day before the ritual, Kirie had a strange dream about a [[Tokitada Kyuki\|samurai]] who spoke of a [[Holy Mirror]]. He told Kirie that breaking the mirror was the only way to stop the ritual and for her to be with the man she loved.<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 7]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref>

			==The Strangling Ritual==
			[[Image:Stranglingritual.jpg\|left\|100px]]As the day of the ritual approached,[[Image:kiriescan_2.jpeg\|right\|100px]] all the members of the [[Himuro Family]] gathered at the mansion, and even in her isolation, Kirie noticed the busy, lively atmosphere.<ref>[[Kirie's Diary 6]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref> On [[Timeline (FF1)#Year of the Calamity (1837?)\|December 13, 1837]], Kirie purified herself in the [[Moon Well]]<ref>[[Research Scrap 8]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref> and was escorted by Lord Himuro and the other priests to the [[Rope Altar]]. Kirie was tied down by her hands, neck, and feet, and each of the priests turned the gears connected to the corresponding rope, strangling Kirie to death. The [[Laceration Rope\|blood-soaked ropes]] were then taken and bound in front of the [[Hell Gate]].<ref>[[The Rope Priestess]], [[Fatal Frame III]]]</ref>

			Due to her doubts, guilt, and wish to live, Kirie's ropes failed to bind the Hell Gate, and it swung open, shattering the Holy Mirror and releasing the [[Malice]], which spread throughout the entire mansion.<ref>[[The Calamity Document]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref><ref>[[Priest's Writings 4]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref>

			As the Malice possessed Kirie's spirit, she split into two forms: her adult form, possessed by the Malice, and her [[White Kimono\|younger form]], that remained untainted. Her younger form tried to find a way to free the mansion of its curse and fulfill her duty.<ref>[[Mafuyu Notes 6]], [[Fatal Frame]]</ref>

			==Events of [[Fatal Frame]]==
			When [[Mafuyu Hinasaki]] visits the mansion, Kirie mistakes him for her dead lover and doesn't kill him. When his younger sister appears, Kirie's younger spirit sees her chance and helps [[Miku Hinasaki\|Miku]] solve the mansion's curse. When Miku finally finds all the pieces of the shattered Holy Mirror and puts them together, she uses it to purify Kirie's soul of the Malice. At the same time, Kirie releases Mafuyu. [[Image:Kirie and White Kimono.jpg\|right\|100px]]

			Kirie's younger self reminds her not to forget her duty, and the two merge, becoming whole again. Kirie grabs the broken rope and binds herself in front of the Hell Gate, telling Miku and Mafuyu they need to leave. Mafuyu refuses and tells Miku to go on without him, because he will stay so that Kirie isn't ever alone again. Miku escapes just in time as the mansion collapses, and all the trapped spirits are freed.

			==Alternate Endings==
			[[File:Photo Ending 5.png\|left\|100px]]While the first ending (as mentioned above) is considered the true canon ending, Fatal Frame has two alternate endings. In the second ending, Mafuyu doesn't stay with Kirie, but leaves with Miku as well. When the game was brought to the Xbox console, another ending was added. This ending had Mafuyu and Miku escape the mansion, but Kirie's lover returned to be with her as the mansion collapsed.<br><br>[[File:Pachislot_Kirie.png\|right\|230px]]<br>

			==Pachislot Zero==
			Kirie appears as the main antagonist of [[Pachislot Zero]], a slot machine game based on the original Fatal Frame. Like other Fatal Frame characters and ghosts, her design was updated to suit modern aesthetics, but her story is the same. Her battle music can be heard [https://youtu.be/9kM4hjxwjUk?t=342 here].

			An information card that appears in the Pachislot states that the [[Himuro Family Master]] is Kirie's father.<ref>[https://nana-press.com/post/1536688/2 Screenshot] of Himuro Family Master's spirit card, Nana Press (Japanese): "それに、氷室家の当主は霧絵の父親だったなんて・・・"</ref> This was never mentioned in FF1, and due to the source its canon status can be considered dubious, but it has been a consistently popular theory in fandom.

			==Misc. Info==
			* While director [[Makoto Shibata]] has admitted that the movie [[Ringu]] was influential in designing Fatal Frame, Kirie's character design comes from the classic Japanese interpretation of ghosts. There is no evidence from behind the scenes content or articles to suggest that her character design is based on the character Sadako.
			* The Rope Shrine Maiden in [[Fatal Frame III]] is not Kirie Himuro, but [[Kizuna Himuro]], a previous Rope Shrine Maiden.
			* Kirie can only be harmed by shots that are at Max Charge, all of which are automatic [[Zero Shot\|Zero Shots]]. The camera's special abilities have no effect on her.
			* During the final battle with Kirie, earthquakes can cause the camera to shake, making it difficult to aim.
			* At one stage during development, the creators planned to have an encounter between Miku and Kirie's mother, who tried to save Kirie by hiding her from the Himuro family.<ref>''Fatal Frame Story Recap: Changes made to the Himuro Family Master's massacre scene'', [[Fatal Frame Fanbook]], p 36-41.
