Still lamenting the death of her older brother, she is filled with guilt and haunted by dreams of the Manor of Sleep, following Mafuyu's spirit.She has a daughter named Miu in Fatal Frame V, but went missing in the past, causing Miu to search for her.

Rei Kurosawa
Rei Kurosawa

A professional photographer and protagonist of Fatal Frame III. She lived together with Miku and her boyfriend, Yuu, until he died in a car accident caused by her. Because of this, she gets dragged into the Manor of Sleep, following his ghost.
- Beauty Mark: She has one beneath her eye.
- Jack-of-All-Stats: Her Camera Obscura is able to equip most of the available lenses and functions, along with having a large capture circle and decent damage.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Blue, the image color of the game and her tattoos.
- Death Seeker: She repeatedly talks about wanting to be with Yuu, even knowing that following him further into the manor will kill her.
- Informed Attribute: Rei claims she's the opposite of Yuu who was quiet and gentle, but this doesn't really show. Then again, she is severely depressed.
- It's All My Fault: It is. It was her irresponsible driving that got her boyfriend killed, after all.
- Please Don't Leave Me: When Yuu's spirit is crossing the Rift with other spirits, she begs to take her with him. He declines, telling her that he'll live on through her.
- Psychic Link: With Miku and Kei, allowing her to see their dreams of the manor within her own. However, as seen with what happens to the two, she has no influence on their decisions.

Mio's uncle, a non-fiction writer. He was also good friends with Yuu, and writes letter to him during the game which Rei receives. These help her unravel the mystery of the Manor of Sleep. The main reason he is investigating the manor is to save his niece Mio, who fell victim to the Tattoo Curse.
- Apocalyptic Log: The Research Notes, and his letters to Yuu.
- Badass Bookworm: Comes with being one of the series' folklorists who can actually fight off ghosts and not end up one of them. Even then, up until you play his chapters he had no Camera Obscura and had to hide often, hence his ability and special filament. Regardless of how weak his sixth sense is, the man's certainly something to have been sneaking around a haunted manor for so long (the extent of his tattoos show that he's been in the manor the longest out of the three).
- In the good and apparently canon ending, he becomes the first male character to survive the game.
- Can't Catch Up: In a somewhat different way than most examples. Being the only playable man in Fatal Frame III, he's stronger than the girls and so he can move heavy objects they can't. But his sixth sense is said to be weaker than theirs, which results in his attacks being overall inferior, and that's when he has a camera to begin with.
- Gradual Grinder: His Camera Obscura though is best used to chip away at a spirit's health with rapid combos and bonuses, as he can't charge it to levels as high as Rei or Miku.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Indigo, if his clothing and tattoos are to go by.
- Hope Spot: He delivers this for Rei near the end.
- Identical Stranger: To Akito Kashiwagi, Kyouka Kuze's missing lover. As the ghost Brushing Woman, she is not happy to see him.
- Mr. Exposition: Subverted. His chapters are where you usually find the documents that explain the Kuze Family and their rituals, that which lead up to the existence of the Tattoo Curse and the Manor of Sleep.
- Meaningful Name: The character for his name means 'firefly', referring to the light of hope he has for finding a way to end the curse. However, fireflies are also known for their brief lifespans.
- Parental Substitute: He's apparently this for Mio and Mayu.
- Pocket Protector: If you obtain Kyouka's Echo Stone Earring on a second playthrough or later, Reika will spare him at the end of Hour XII.
- Psychic Powers: He possesses very weak powers, especially in comparison to Rei and Miku.
- Talking in Your Sleep: He does this when he's staying over at Rei's house, pleading for either his nieces or his close friends Mafuyu and Yuu not to leave him behind.

- Apocalyptic Log: Misaki's Diary.
- Jerk Ass: She drags an unwilling Madoka to Rougetsu Island (though, admittedly, she's trying to save both their lives)... only to thoughtlessly abandon her because she falls behind, leading to the poor girl's death.

Diner Rating and ReviewsBack to detail
Based on 12 reviews
Everybody in Pune knows Abhiruchi as the first village style eatery on the Sinhagad road. It was a great family outing with animals, an actual running farm and home style earthy food served on the floor in thalis. This one is in the Amanora Mall and is been renamed the Village — The Soul of India. There is a bullock-cart, a railway station, a police station, a jail, a movie theater, a rickshaw and dandia and garba performances. Dinner is for `349 plus taxes on weekends. Try the Maharashtrain or Punjabi Thali. If you're bored there is even an astrologer, someone who does head massages and a tattoo artist!
It was one of the best places to go in Pune for eating Indian food. Its just like Chokhi Dhani in Jaipur. The place was excellent and had just a fee of 450 per person. Once in , you can eat anything on the menu and any amount. They do not have hard drinks but their normal drinks are good and the food was very fresh and much worth the money i spent on it. The place has families more than singles and they all enjoyed the food and the dance together. The music was Indian and the dance floor was good. I ate paneer, dal and tasted a couple of other veggies. The food was awesome. I liked the bread preparation which was happening in front of you! I avoided the punjabi food and ate the gujarati food as its not very heavy. My wife liked Punjabi food. We really loved the place. Excellent Decor and Excellent food..
Kesar Jalebis is very good. Good for family party. Really good ambience and good entertainment. Loved it.
Food is good , Ambiance is awesome ..great experience...
Good for family party .Really good ambience and good entertainment and music. Food was good though would add real value if bettered..
Celebrated the birthday of my daughter here. Really good ambience and good entertainment and music. Food was good though would add real value if bettered. But who cares about food when you have such a good environment. Go ahead and enjoy in a group. We did and so would you..
I had been to this place recently, once with my family and the second time with my colleagues. Food, dance and the music makes this place too lively. i really liked the unique way of serving food. Village staff made me actively engaged in the activities and the games held. I could not stop myself from tasting all the different cuisines and ofcourse the desserts. My family kids had their best time getting tattos done, applying mehendi.A rare experience as well as memorable one!Cheers,Village Team.
We had been to this a couple of months back. Good place to be around with young kids, you can sit relax and eat at your own pace.There was a big group of clollegians who were with us in the village at the same time. My daughter really enjoyed the singing and dancing . The panipuri and the chat items here are must taste. The main course , has its won charm of Indian plus Oriental food which gives you a good choice. I would definitely plan to visit this place once more. The best thing is you can come in and out while you are relaxing there. So we had a swell time going out shopping and coming back in for food with breaks..
Great place to spend evening time with good food and a little touch of village..
I went in there with my colleagues and tried their North Indian which was quite good and i quite liked its taste. The service was on time and up to the mark. Will soon visit it again..
i went to this restaurant with my sister on her birthday and it was good to have nice Indian food with good service. More options in Indian. Liked the ambiance..
This is a good place to get the feel of rural India. They have decent village ambiance and ok ok vegetarian food. There are few things I did not like much about this place though. its not very big like other theme restaurants e.g. Choki Dhani. Its gets very crowded during weekends and hence kinds feels suffocated. They play very loud music which gets unbearable after a while. Being indoor, it do not give the feel of real village. Overall not so great experience but can visit once a while with family and friends..

Apoplexy of a pituitary adenoma is a rare and under-diagnosed clinical occurrence. It results from either infarction or haemorrhage into an adenoma of the pituitary gland. Its clinical presentation more often includes rapid development of impaired consciousness, severe headache, visual disturbance and variable association of oculomotor nerve palsy. Meningeal irritation signs are considered very rare and usually not reported as presenting symptoms. A 33-year-old male suffered a pituitary macroadenoma apoplexy, clinically indistinguishable from an infectious meningitis at presentation. Three days after surgery, the patient developed a left ophthalmoplegia due to 3rd nerve palsy, which fully resolved within 2 months. A right pterional craniotomy was performed during which complete tumour removal was achieved. In conclusion the authors believe that, despite many reports in the literature, encouraging conservative management in pituitary apoplexy by administering intravenous steroids, surgery should be undertaken in order to avoid eventual visual field defects, relieve pituitary gland compression and prevent a possible recurrent apoplectic episode or tumor re-growth.
