Story

Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream

Main article: Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream Story

Additional Information

Trivia

• Kotohime appears on the cover of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream along with all the other characters in that game.
• Kotohime is one of the few PC-98 characters who has a full in-game portrait. (The portrait appears when she is casting a special attack.)
• She could've been part of the inspiration for Kaguya Houraisan, as Kotohime means "little rabbit princess", and Kaguya resides in Eientei, a place filled with many, many rabbits. They're both princesses, and neither apparently go out much. And they're both strange in their own ways...Furthermore, Kotohime's theme music is "Maniacal Princess," while Kaguya's is "Bamboo Cutter Flight ~ Lunatic Princess."
• She bears a striking resemblance to stage 2 midboss of Story of Eastern Wonderland.

Kotohime

★　弾幕に美を夢みる姫　　・・・　小兎姫 　　　常にどっかがずれているお姫様。性格が破綻しており、あまり人と合わないため、姫がどういう人だかわかっていない。ただ、普通の人とずれた感性の持ち主であり、人が興味を示さない様なものばかり集めたがるコレクターである。 　　　つまり、（真性の）マニアである。 　　　なぜ、遺跡へ向かうのだろうか。（たぶん、きまぐれ）

★　A princess dreaming of beauty in danmaku ... Kotohime. A princess who's always a little bit "off". Since her personality is something of failure, she doesn't get out to meet people often, so no one really knows what she's like. Except that, as a proprietor of feelings most people don't have, she's something of a collector of things normal people don't find interesting. In other words, she's a (genuine) collection freak. I wonder why she's going to the ruins this time. (Could be just on a whim.)
