Yukari's crows

From Touhou Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

In Touhou Bougetsushou, Yukari Yakumo employs a number of crow shikigami for surveillance - two of these are named Zenki (前鬼, "front oni") and Goki (後鬼, "rear oni"), while the others are left unnamed. She apparently pays them a wage, as she rewards them for performing errands by promising to increase their bonus. The crows resemble normal animals, though they move with a mechanical precision that can be recognised by those familiar with shikigami. One of these shikigami was sent to spy on the Moon during Cage in Lunatic Runagate, only to be killed when Watatsuki no Toyohime transported it to the airless Near Side.

Trivia

  • Zenki and Goki are common names for a pair of oni servants, famously used by the onmyoji Abe no Seimei, as well as by En no Gyōja the founder of Shugendo.
