What are Katashiro in GhostWire: Tokyo?
Katashiro is one of the most important items a player will get in GhostWire: Tokyo. Katashiro are traditional paper dolls in Japanese culture, and the player will use them to absorb souls in the game and help guide those lost souls to the afterlife.
Players are rewarded with EXP and Meika (money) for doing this, so it’s certainly a worthwhile endeavor. Having more Katashiro on hand at any given time is important, and here’s why.
Players will see floating spirits all over GhostWire: Tokyo, which they will be prompted to absorb. This is done using a Katashiro doll, and the player will receive a few to start with. According to the game, there are 240,300 lost souls in Tokyo, and through these Katashiro, they will be guided on to the afterlife.
Each time a player presses L2 to absorb spirits into a Katashiro in Ghostwire: Tokyo, it will consume that particular doll. If a player has 12 of them, they can do 12 soul absorbs before they need to go to a phone booth.
By going to a phone booth, they can pop it open, apply the Katashiro to it, and send the souls on the way courtesy of the NPC named Ed. Moving all of these souls on to the next life is not the main goal of the story, but it is one of the best ways to get EXP.
Players can have a total of 50 Katashiro in their inventory. To acquire more, they can be purchased from the various shops run by Nekomata (cat spirits) in the town. Just head to any of the drug stores in the game and buy them from there.
They’re a little on the expensive side, but it’s not incredibly hard to get the funds. The more Katashiro a player has, the more souls can be stored at once. If a player’s Katashiro are full, they can’t absorb more, so they will have to head to a phone booth before progressing further
