SinGyoku appears as Reimu Hakurei approaches the gates to Hell and Makai in Highly Responsive to Prayers, where the two battle. Next to nothing is known about this enemy, as it does not exchange dialog with Reimu and has no official profile. Judging from its appearance, SinGyoku is likely related in some way to the Hakurei Shrine.

Concept
Appearance
SinGyoku seems to have three different forms from the sprites in Highly Responsive to Prayers:
- a large, brown Yin-Yang Orb, with red markings. One side seems to be transparent.
- a female priestess(?) in red robes with long, flowing red hair, horns and glowing red eyes.
- a male priest(?) in white and blue robes with glowing red eyes. Has a slight resemblance to a feudal souhei.
Additional Information
Trivia
- SinGyoku is the first boss in the entire Touhou Project series.
- A number of stage enemies in the Story of Eastern Wonderland and Undefined Fantastic Object appear to be smaller versions of SinGyoku's first form.
- Should SinGyoku's 3rd form be a male priest, then he would be the first male character to appear in a Touhou game, with Genjii and Unzan appearing after him.
- Mononobe no Futo seems to look similar to SinGyoku's "male" form.
- SinGyoku is one of the only PC-98 characters whose hair and eyes are not the same colour (this is on SinGyoku's "male" form). The only other PC-98 characters with this are Elis and Konngara. This is due to the 16-bit colour limit the other PC-98 characters have.
Fanon
- SinGyoku is commonly written in the Japanese fanbase as シンギョク (Shingyoku). However, it is unknown whether the "si" part of the name is really prounounced "shi" or not.
