Michiru Kururugi

is the male version of the main character in the video game The Secret of the Cursed Mask. He has the mysterious and incredible powers of the Shikigami, which come down to the four elements: fire, water, wind, and light. Animal symbols for his elemental attacks also exist.

History
The game begins when Michiru enters the family storage shed in modern-day Japan to retrieve an item for father. After falling through a mysteriously etched pentagram on the floorboards, the player is transported to Feudal Japan. Unfortunately, the villagers mistake the time traveler as a demon and attack. After several close calls, Michiru comes face to face with Inuyasha, who notices the stranger's clothes "look like Kagome's." After introductions with the rest of the cast, the player begins to search for answers as to why Michiru has been brought back to the feudal era and how to get home. The game progresses as any normal InuYasha storyline, with the InuYasha group traveling from village to village in pursuit of Naraku (and Michiru's answers), sometimes helping out with a local problem or two. Occasionally traces to Naraku himself are revealed, as well as leads to Michiru's mystery and the title's "cursed mask," which holds secrets to returning the character to the present. Along the way, Michiru to harness the power of shikigami from a mysterious old villager called Kakuju, a force needed in order to help Inuyasha and the others overcome the dangerous obstacles ahead while unraveling the plot of the mystic Utsugi.

Powers and abilities
Michiru is able to wield the power of Shikigami after having the ability drawn forth by Kakuju after awakening to the power by accident when attacked by a random yōkai shortly after his arrival in the Feudal Era. While Kakuju describes the power as an energy that flows through all life in the universe, making it more akin to ki energy, it is loosely based on, a mixed Spiritual-Magical power of Japanese myth said to be practiced by and most famously said to have been used by , Japan's equivalent to the wizard  of Arthurian legend.
