Appearance[]
Personality[]
Kazamatsuri is a nice middle-aged gentleman. He enjoys hunting and has many stuffed animals in his home when he was young. He was the most supportive of all the masters of the mansion, and welcomed Kindaichi, Miyuki and Odagiri after the first incident. The Weather Vane House where he lives has a mummy with no left shoulder or right arm.
He was one of the accomplices in the murder of the priest family 27 years ago, but before that he had promised a future with Shiori Rokusei, one of the priest's adopted daughters.
Because he himself was rich from drugs, he could not resist the other mansion owners and participated in the murder of the Rokusei family. After entering the church and helping Shiori, who was the only survivor, he take her to a hospital in the town at the foot of the mountain, he used a trick to make the six dead bodies look like seven dead bodies ("One analogy of the "seventh mummy" is yet to come).
After the incident, he stopped hunting and taxidermy for good, and was racked with guilt. It was pointed out that he had the skill to dismember the corpse quickly without being noticed by the other five people through stuffing, and it was concluded that he was the person who created the seven mummies, but he did not argue and pleaded guilty. In order to stop his son Ryuichi, he shot him dead and revealed himself as his father. Then, he decided to set fire to the cannabis field, which the pastor couple and his son could not do. He thanked Kindaichi and shot himself in the head and died.
