(There are spoilers involved, please read with caution)

Hinsaki Crimson (Hinsaki Crimson (ひなさきみく), CV: Rika Iwazawa)

The heroine, student, 17 years old.

Born with extremely strong spiritual power, he is afraid of communicating with others because he can see things in the spiritual world. Her father died while working out of town, and her mother was found hanging from a tree at home by Crimson. After her parents died, she and her brother depended on each other, relying heavily on his brother as her only understander. On her head, she wears a hair ornament passed down from her grandmother, and like her brother, she wears a rope ornament around her neck.

She came to Himuro Residence in search of her missing brother, but embarked on a terrifying journey. While uncovering the mystery of the Rope Miko, she also discovered that this was the place where her great-grandparents had lived with their daughter, and where they disappeared.

Crimson's character image color is red, but due to visual design factors at the time, the final decision was to use white and black contrast. After porting and revision, the appearance of Crimson on PS2, XBOX and the US version is different. Among them, the American version adjusted the dark red hair color and clothing to cater to Western style.

Gao Feng admired the young man very much and took good care of him, and the two formed a deep friendship. When Mafuyu was at the publishing house, he and Hotaru Amafu belonged to the same working group, and the two were very good friends with the anthropologist Yuu Aso.

After his benefactor, Peak Crosshair, disappeared in the Himuro Residence, he set out to search for him, carrying the projector left behind by his mother to fight against the evil spirits he encountered. Unexpectedly, he met the rope miko Kirie deep in the house, who allowed him to escape his curse because he looked exactly like his former lover, and led him through the Himuro Residence, finally giving him a chance to unlock the secret of Himuro. The mystery of the mansion. Deep Winter left notes while continuing to explore the Himuro Mansion, which mentioned that he felt the house changing around him and even taking him through distorted time and space. He and his sister had seen each other in the Himuro Residence, but they had never been able to talk. In the ending of NORMAL or HARD difficulty, out of sympathy for Kirie's experience, Shen Dong chooses to stay with her and asks Crimson to escape alone (this ending will be used in subsequent games). In the NIGHTMARE difficulty ending, he chose to leave Himuro Mansion and escape with Crimson. In the FATAL difficulty ending limited to XBOX, he and Crimson escaped together. At the same time, Kirie, who sealed the ghost gate alone, also saw his former lover.

Ogata Koji (Ogata Koji (おがた　こうじ))

When I was a child and playing with my friends at Himuro Residence, I met the girl Kirie. Kirie gave him a camera (the projector used by players in Zero~Zero).

Since her husband was busy with work and was away from home for many years, the slender Miyuki gradually felt pressured by the discovery of the children. His spiritual power was affected and he became mentally ill, unwilling to talk to anyone. Later, he used the "projector" left by his mother Mikoto to take pictures out of interest, but his spiritual power was re-activated and he could not bear to see the ghosts and the pictures captured by the camera. Miyuki's appearance was very similar to Munakata Yae's, so Crimson felt familiar when she saw Yae in the game.
