You’ve heard of urban legends such as Teke Teke and Toire no Hanako-san, but you probably haven’t heard of the legend of Masuku-san. Masuku-san tells the story of a japanese middle school girl named Inaba Hatomi. Hatomi lived in a small prefecture called Kuroshina. Hatomi had a strange obsession with masks. No one knows why, though it is theorized that it was because they gave her comfort.

Due to her obsession, it lead to her not having any friends and also lead to a few bullies at school. Though, she didn’t mind. They had no effect on her. Well, that was until May of 2005. Hatomi and a group of delinquents got into an altercation in an alleyway. She was missing for about a week. She was finally found dead in a dumpster. It was speculated that she died from blunt force trauma.

They never found the delinquents. Well, they never found them alive. They were found dead in an abandoned building. All of them seemed to have died from blunt force trauma. They found the murder weapon, but it didn’t have any fingerprints. Legend says that Hatomi beat them to a bloody pulp and left them there.

If you ever see the ghost of Hatomi walking around the streets of Kuroshina at night, run away quickly and quietly. Make sure she doesn’t see or hear you. If she does, she will ask you to play a game with her. If you reject, she will kill you on the spot, so it’s best to just play with her. The game goes like this: Hatomi has hid 10 of her masks around Kuroshina. Their hiding spots will be random each time. You have only an hour to find all 10 masks. If you don’t find them in time, Hatomi will beat you to death.

If you do beat the game, Hatomi will appear behind you and give you one of her masks as a prize. Afterwards, you will be able to go home without any problems. Do NOT throw away the mask, even if your mind keeps telling you to. It will make Hatomi VERY angry and will make sure your death will be slow and painful. However, keeping the mask will give you good luck and fortune.

Now, although this is an urban legend, there is some truth to it. There in fact used to be a Inaba Hatomi that lived in Kuroshina. An anonymous user on a japanese urban legends forum made a thread about Masuku-san, stating that they used to go to school with Hatomi. They didn’t talk to her much, but they knew her well enough. They had 1 or 2 classes with her, but that was it. Nothing more than acquaintances. They even showed a picture of her in an old yearbook they had, and sure enough, it was her. The picture depicted a petite girl, who looked to be around 12 or 13. She had short black hair, and a red and white rabbit mask.
