'''Taoism''' ({{lang|ja|道教}}, ''doukyou'', modernly '''Daoism''') is a Chinese religion which, like Japanese [[Shinto]], has its roots in native folklore. Like [[Buddhism]] it is an introspective, philosophical religion; its followers seek to live as one with the natural flow of the universe, known as the Tao ("the Way"). While Tao-related practices can be found in many aspects of Chinese and Japanese culture (such as [[wikipedia:Kōshin|Kōshin]] and [[wikipedia:Zen|Zen Buddhism]]), traditionally only dedicated priests and ascetics were identified as "Taoists".<br />
<br />
==Taoism in Touhou==<br />
During [[Seiga Kaku]]'s history in the far past, Japan appeared to be one of the few places around this area that wasn't sufficiently populated by the [[hermit]]s of Taoism presumably due to the [[Yaoyorozu no Kami]] of Shinto and the more recent arrival, the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] who were fighting each other for supremacy. Taoism seemed to have disolved more successfully into Japan than Buddism because its concept of [[immortal|immortality]] appeared to be more appealing.<br />

She clicks a lot of boxes for being a genuine xian (hermit), besides the part where she's a spirit of vengeance. Flight, immortality, wearing a xian-like outfit, being essentially one with nature, and living in a senkai. She's a higher level xian (hermit) than that of Miko or Seiga for a certainty as she is actually divine. To further explain Okina, the JP name of HSiFS 天空璋 is a huge taoism reference. So Okina is highly related to Taoism.</p>

{{nihongo|'''Son Biten'''|孫 美天|''Son Biten''}} is a character who debuts in ''[[Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost]]''.<br />

===Name===<br />
Biten's full name is ''Son Biten'' (孫 美天 Son Biten), a Chinese-derived name in reference to the character [[wikipedia:Monkey King|''Sun Wukong'']] (孫悟空 Sūn Wùkōng, pronounced Son Gokuu in Japanese) from the Chinese novel [[wikipedia:Journey to the West|''Journey to the West'']] (西遊記 Xīyóujì, pronounced ''Saiyuki'' in Japanese). Her last name Son (孫) is a common Chinese surname that translates to "grandchild/descendant". Her first name ''Biten'' (美天) literally means "Beautiful Sky/Heaven". The first word (美 Bi) means "pretty" or "beautiful" while the second word (天 ten) means "sky/heaven". Her name when pronounced in Chinese is ''Sun Meitian''. During her introduction when fighting against Sanae, she introduces herself as Gensokyo's Great Sage Equal to Heaven, referencing one of Sun Wukong's titles.<br />
<br />
Her first name was likely taken from two of Wukong's titles, ''Handsome Monkey King'' (美猴王 Měi Hóuwáng, pronounced ''Bikouou'' in Japanese) and ''Great Sage Equal to Heaven'' (齊天大聖 Qítiān Dàshèng, pronounced ''Seiten Taisei'' in Japanese). In the original story, the former is used to refer to Wukong, while the latter was granted to him by the Jade Emperor after he caused havoc in Heaven over displeasure with his title.<br />

| translation =○The [[wikipedia:The_Great_Sage,_Heaven%27s_Equal|Great Sage]] of Small Sanctuaries<br><br><br />
<br />
Species: [https://yokai.com/sarugami/ Sarugami]<br><br />
Name: Son Biten<br><br />
Ability: Capable of manipulating wild monkeys<br><br><br />
<br />
Has been convinced that she's the second coming of the legendary monkey, Sun Wukong.<br><br><br />
<br />
It was assumed that all the ownership of Gensokyo's land had gone up in smoke, but there was actually one region that authority-holding spirits still had on lock.<br><br />
Namely, the Yamanba's sanctuary land.<br><br />
An untouchable sanctuary in the [[Youkai Mountain]]'s foothills.<br><br><br />
<br />
While the [[Phantom|phantoms]] that owned that land were going back and forth on whether they should give up the ownership rights, she came along, ate them, and transformed into an [[oni]]. She awakened as an oni while still having her physical body.<br><br><br />
<br />
At this rate, she would certainly fall into Hell, and be met with awful torment.<br><br />
Then [[Yachie Kicchou]] made contact with her, under the pretense of preventing her from falling to Hell.<br><br />
But in reality, she was used as a foothold for the Kiketsu Family's above-ground advance.<br><br><br />
<br />
Yet her introduction to Yachie, and the circumstances that led her to eat the phantoms, were both [[Zanmu Nippaku|Zanmu]]'s doing.<br><br><br />
<br />
Was it Sun Wukong who was dancing atop her palm, or the beasts?<br><br><br />

===Name===<br />
Biten's full name is ''Son Biten'' (孫 美天 Son Biten), a Chinese-derived name in reference to the character [[wikipedia:Monkey King|''Sun Wukong'']] (孫悟空 Sūn Wùkōng, pronounced Son Goku in Japanese) from the Chinese novel [[wikipedia:Journey to the West|''Journey to the West'']] (西遊記 Xīyóujì, pronounced ''Saiyuki'' in Japanese). Her last name Son (孫) is a common Chinese surname that translates to "grandchild/descendant". Her first name ''Biten'' (美天) literally means "Beautiful Sky/Heaven". The first word (美 Bi) means "pretty" or "beautiful" while the second word (天 ten) means "sky/heaven". Her name when pronounced in Chinese is ''Sun Meitian''. During her introduction when fighting against Sanae, she introduces herself as Gensokyo's Great Sage Equal to Heaven, referencing one of Sun Wukong's titles.<br />
<br />
Her first name was likely taken from two of Wukong's titles, ''Handsome Monkey King'' (美猴王 Měi Hóuwáng, pronounced ''Bikouou'' in Japanese) and ''Great Sage Equal to Heaven'' (齊天大聖 Qítiān Dàshèng, pronounced ''Seiten Taisei'' in Japanese). In the original story, the former is used to refer to Wukong, while the latter was granted to him by the Jade Emperor after he caused havoc in Heaven over displeasure with his title.<br />

Name: Son Biten<br><br />
Ability: Capable of manipulating wild monkeys<br><br><br />
<br />
Has been convinced that she's the second coming of the legendary monkey, Sun Wukong.<br><br><br />
<br />
It was assumed that all the ownership of Gensokyo's land had gone up in smoke, but there was actually one region that authority-holding spirits still had on lock.<br><br />
Namely, the Yamanba's sanctuary land.<br><br />
An untouchable sanctuary in the [[Youkai Mountain]]'s foothills.<br><br><br />
<br />
While the [[Phantom|phantoms]] that owned that land were going back and forth on whether they should give up the ownership rights, she came along, ate them, and transformed into an [[oni]]. She awakened as an oni while still having her physical body.<br><br><br />
<br />
At this rate, she would certainly fall into Hell, and be met with awful torment.<br><br />
Then [[Yachie Kicchou]] made contact with her, under the pretense of preventing her from falling to Hell.<br><br />
But in reality, she was used as a foothold for the Kiketsu Family's above-ground advance.<br><br><br />
<br />
Yet her introduction to Yachie, and the circumstances that led her to eat the phantoms, were both [[Zanmu Nippaku|Zanmu]]'s doing.<br><br><br />
<br />
Was it Sun Wukong who was dancing atop her palm, or the beasts?<br><br><br />

<hr />
<div>== Name order ==<br />
<br />
Normally I'm all for following the established standard, but given that it's a Chinese name in reference to Sun Wukong, I'd consider making an exception here and going with the Chinese name order for her as is already done with Meiling, even if Biten's name is written in Japanese. We all know nobody is ever going to call her "Biten Son" over "Son Biten", anyway.<br />
--[[User:KennyMan666|KennyMan666]] ([[User talk:KennyMan666|talk]]) 17:56, 15 August 2023 (UTC)<br />
:While you make a good point of mentioning the preference in name order with the name Sun Wukong/Son Goku, the name ''does'' still use the Japanese on'yomi instead of unadapted Mandarin syllables (unlike, say, Meiling, whose name would be something like "Kou Mirin" via on'yomi), and is instead more of a similar case to Seiga's name (where 霍 ''Kaku'' corresponds to the Mandarin surname ''Huo''), which is normally localized with the given-family name order whenever anyone else's is. If the familiarity is enough to justify the exception, though, then so be it.--[[User:Naudiz|Naudiz]] ([[User talk:Naudiz|talk]]) 20:05, 15 August 2023 (UTC)<br />
::Yeah, I did notice that it's the Japanese reading of the name, but I do think it's at least worth discussing. While I don't necessarily think that "other people will think it looks weird" is the most solid argument for changing something, decades of Dragon Ball has definitely ensured that a majority of English wiki readers who see the Son being put after Biten rather than before are going to think "that doesn't look right". --[[User:KennyMan666|KennyMan666]] ([[User talk:KennyMan666|talk]]) 15:55, 16 August 2023 (UTC)<br />
Makes sense. [[User:OMG|OMG]] ([[User talk:OMG|talk]]) 18:01, 15 August 2023 (UTC)<br />
Also, she specifically talks about Sun Wukong multiple times. Yet we don't call him "Wukong Sun" or "Gokuu Son". Makes no sense to have her name be in this name order when her name is related to a significant fictional character. --[[User:SupremeExplosion|SupremeExplosion]] ([[User talk:SupremeExplosion|talk]]) 21:31, 17 August 2023 (UTC)</div>SupremeExplosionhttps://en.touhouwiki.net/index.php?title=Son_Biten&diff=471754Son Biten2023-08-17T21:28:59Z<p>SupremeExplosion: </p>

But I have a very good reason for why her name should kept in eastern order. It's very very weird first of all, to call her "Biten Son" when she directly refers to "Sun Wukong (Son Goku)" multiple times. Second, even the Japanese pronunciation of 'Son Goku' is often used in English too with Goku from DBZ and or Son Goku from Naruto. We had a long discussion about this on the touhou wiki discord, and this is the conclusion we reached. So yeah I'm doing it</p>

While the [[Phantom|phantoms]] that owned that land were going back and forth on whether they should give up the ownership rights, she came along, ate them, and transformed into an [[oni]]. She awakened as an oni while still having her physical body.<br><br><br />
<br />
At this rate, she would certainly fall into Hell, and be met with awful torment.<br><br />
Then [[Yachie Kicchou]] made contact with her, under the pretense of preventing her from falling to Hell.<br><br />
But in reality, she was used as a foothold for the Kiketsu Family's above-ground advance.<br><br><br />
<br />
Yet her introduction to Yachie, and the circumstances that led her to eat the phantoms, were both [[Zanmu Nippaku|Zanmu]]'s doing.<br><br><br />
<br />
Was it Sun Wukong who was dancing atop her palm, or the beasts?<br><br><br />

{{quote|To start with, she is a youkai that you do not want to deal with. Even besides the fundamental issue of the danger of her ability, this youkai will appear anywhere unexpectedly, her character is lacking in human sentiment, and her behavioral principles are completely different from those of humans, to name a few of her issues.|[[Hieda no Akyuu]]|[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Yukari Yakumo'''|八雲 紫|Yakumo Yukari}} is a legendary [[youkai]] who is able to manipulate boundaries. She is the master of [[Ran Yakumo]]. She is called the {{nihongo|"[[gap]] youkai"|すきま妖怪|sukima youkai}},<ref>As indicated by Ran and [[Chen]]'s titles</ref> although "gap youkai" is not the name of a species, as she is more of a one-of-a-kind type of youkai.<ref>[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]] - [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Yukari|Yukari]]</ref> Regardless of her power, Yukari appears to be the most ''well-informed'' being in Gensokyo of any kind and usually achieves her goals through manipulating events rather than direct combat.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Yukari first appeared as the phantasm stage boss of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' with [[Ran Yakumo]] serving her as [[shikigami]]. Despite being a high-class boss compared to other Extra and Final stage bosses, she's made occasional appearances in later games. She was a playable character in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', partnered with [[Reimu Hakurei]] (and supported her in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''), and was playable in the fighting games, but was only a cameo in the background of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. Also, she was also an Extra stage target in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'' and appeared on the Final Day of ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />
<br />
She is one of the oldest [[youkai]] in [[Gensokyo]], one of the strongest of youkai, and is praised as one of the wisest of youkai.<ref name="PMiSSYukari">[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]: [[Perfect_Memento_in_Strict_Sense/Yukari Yakumo|Yukari Yakumo]]</ref><ref name="BAiJRRan">[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]: [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Ran|Ran Yakumo]]</ref>. She was one who proposed the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]], which covers Gensokyo, and is therefore tied to Gensokyo's creation. She is the only known youkai who is able to pass this barrier in order to access the [[Outside World]], although there are a few instances like [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] who's passed it. She also performs surveillance and safety administration (mainly for [[Ran Yakumo]]). She is simply one of the most mysterious youkai living in Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Yukari is known for being a very [[youkai]]-like youkai who sleeps all day and lives for the enjoyment of life. Though she rarely leaves her house, she's well-connected and is acquainted with most of the most powerful youkai as well as anyone having anything to do with the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]] or the [[Outside World|outside world]], although she rarely attacks [[human]]s.<ref name="PMiSSYukari" /> She has a tendency to toy with her opponents rather than use her full power from the start. If anyone is suited for the role of "mastermind", it's Yukari. She excels at mathematics and is experienced due to her long life.<br />
<br />
She possesses superhuman intellect and especially surpasses in dealing with numbers. In ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'', as [[Ran Yakumo]] said, this intellect is something that even Ran is not able to understand, to the extent that for example that she is able to determine the depths of the darkness of Avici or determine in an instant how long it would take for Ursa Major to devour the North Star, as it seems. Concretely to what extent this amazing intellect goes is hard to know, but it would be no mistake to think that this intellect far surpasses that of humans.<br />
<br />
She often has a great deal of insight and understanding about whatever happens in Gensokyo, and possesses considerable intellectual prowess, as well. Though she seems flaky and unreliable most of the time, when the safety or security of Gensokyo is at stake, she won't hesitate to get involved, even if it means using others to do the work for her. For example, in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', she treats [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] with much hostility after finding out the plot of the [[Heaven]]s. She could easily be either a villain or a heroine, depending on her whims.<br />
<br />
Yukari deals with problems by manipulating others to act to resolve things for her. She seems to rarely act directly except in particularly egregious situations. In all cases, she rarely lets anyone know what her true aims or goals are and sometimes these goals are extremely abstract. Yukari has a well-deserved reputation of being fickle, whimsical and lying often and thus many characters in [[Gensokyo]] dislike her. For whatever reason, Yukari takes it all in stride and does not seriously deny any of those comments. She seems to actively try to keep her more obviously-altruistic actions a secret, such as her donations to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]''. She possibly cultivates this image to ensure that people continue to fear her as a [[youkai]], as this is what her true goal for a particularly complex gambit is revealed to be at the end of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]''.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
; Strength <br />
Yukari is with no doubt one of the most powerful [[youkai]] in [[Gensokyo]]. She has been described as an extremely powerful being more than once,<ref>Yukari's [[Touhou Bougetsushou]] profile</ref><ref>Yukari's [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]] profile</ref>, with easily enough power to destroy all of Gensokyo if it's needed.<ref>[[Imperishable Night]] - Yukari's Profile</ref>. In [[Silent Sinner in Blue]], Yukari claimed [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] was stronger than her and avoided a direct confrontation with her, although at the time she was purposedly letting herself being captured.<br />
<br />
Her physical strength is what you'd expect from a youkai. While the extent of an average youkai's strength is never really specified, their bodily ability is typically very high, so her strength is still far from that of a [[human]]. <br />
There are some examples and statements which show Yukari's physical prowess:<br />
*In [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 12|''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' Chapter 12]], Yukari's hand is able to effortlessly block and brush aside a mallet swung by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] with all his might, leaving him shocked that a small slender feminine hand was able to pull off such a feat. Rinnosuke said that it feels like he hit a pillow. <br />
*[[Hong Meiling]], in one of her ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' win quotes, notes that she felt a odd resistance from Yukari's body (presumably after punching and kicking her a lot), to the point where she wondered if Yukari was wearing something else under that presumably delicate dress of hers.<br />
<br />
Yukari states in her own win quotes in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' that she has no weaknesses, and even shooting, cutting, stabbing, hitting, or killing her is useless.<ref>[[Immaterial and Missing Power]] - Yukari's Script: <br /><br />
'''Yukari''':Shooting, cutting, stabbing, hitting, killing... It's all useless against me.<br /><br />
<br />
'''Yukari''': I'll tell you a secret. My weakness is... nothing. </ref><br />
<br />
;Gaps<br />
<br />
The ability to use {{nihongo|"[[gap]]s"|すきま|sukima}} is the most prominent ability that Yukari utilizes. They act as portals between two places, where she's able to hold, sit on or emerge from such gaps. Because of this, she's able to show up at any place and can freely travel to places like the Outside World. Within these gaps one can see a lot of eyes, which according to the description of Yukari's ''Magic Eye "Laplace's Demon"'' [[spell card]] she can also use to see. Yukari can create gaps through which only she can pass, or which anything can pass through.<ref>[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Yukari_Yakumo|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense: Yukari Yakumo]] - "No one can follow her through the gaps". Despite this statement, various canon works show her opening gaps for others to use.</ref> Moreover, while the main use of gaps is traveling to different places, Yukari also uses them in battle either by virtue of being able to use almost any object (such as tombstones, road signs, and even running trains) as a weapon,<ref>[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - "Abandoned Line "Aimless Journey to the Abandoned Station" [[Spellcard]]</ref> by retreating inside them to avoid being hit or land unexpected attacks,<ref>[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - "Fantasy Maniacal Rift" Skill Card</ref> sucking in an opponent's attacks to throw them back.<ref>[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - "Rest on Stone, Rinse in Rivers Rinse with Stone, Rest in Rivers" Skill Card</ref>, or merging different gaps to create harmful spatial distortions.<ref>[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - "Universe of Matter and Antimatter" Skill Card</ref><br />
<br />
Though seemingly limitless, Yukari's gaps have a limited range to where she's able to connect spaces. During the events of [[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]], Yukari has to use multiple gaps to travel up [[Youkai Mountain]] in order to reach the summit to get to [[Heaven]]. <br />
<br />
By mostly moving around in [[gap]]s, one would usually not see her as doing much physical labor at all, and according to ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', since she ends up in blurting out herself such sayings like "to do mountain climbing at such an age", there is the image that she is like an indoors-type [[youkai]], but in the end, she is still a youkai. <br />
<br />
;Manipulation of boundaries<br />
[[File:GoMIllus-Yukari.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukari's "Danmaku Barrier", as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''.]]<br />
[[File:SSIBCH10YukariBorder.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukari using a border for transportation in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
Yukari's main ability is manipulating any kind of boundaries.<ref>[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]] - Yukari's profile.</ref> This ability has been described as logically being able to affect essentially anything.<ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Yukari Yakumo, Ran Yakumo, and Chen]]</ref> In her monologue during [[A Beautiful Flower Blooming Violet Every Sixty Years]], she explains that this power allows her to control or remove the boundaries between any and all things, like Gensokyo and the Outside World, the worlds of the living and the dead, humans and youkai and even the day and the night. <ref>[[A Beautiful Flower_Blooming Violet Every Sixty Years]] - '''Yukari''': I'm a youkai with the ability to control the boundaries between any and all things. This power allows me to remove the boundary between anything: Gensokyo and the outside world, the worlds of the living and the dead, humans and youkai, even day and night.</ref><br />
<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', manipulating boundaries is described as a terrifying god-like ability with no weak points which there is no defense or countermeasure against, capable of fundamentally undermining reality itself and as one of the most dangerous abilities that youkai are known to possess, while Yukari's manual profile in ''[[Imperishable Night]] says that ''"the danger and potency of her ability is beyond imagination"''.<ref>[[Imperishable Night]] - Manual: The danger and potency of the power to manipulate boundaries is beyond imagination. In order to wield it, you'd have to either be a somewhat-weird [[youkai]] like Yukari, or someone who can withstand the power's pressure.</ref> <br />
<br />
Ultimately, everything is built upon the existence of boundaries; if there were no boundaries everything would effectively exist as a single enormous object. Because of this, the ability to manipulate boundaries is logically an ability of both creation and destruction: by making a new boundary is to create a new existence, and to destroy a boundary is to negate an existence. For example, as said in ''Perfect Memento'', if there was no water surface there could be no lake, if there was no sky line neither mountain nor sky could exist and were it not for the Great Barrier even Gensokyo itself wouldn't exist. Furthermore, it seems that not only are physical boundaries, but also the general idea of boundaries can be manipulated and it seems like she would be able to manipulate the boundary between dreams and reality, which could very well be how she was able to drag the real [[Sumireko Usami]] out of the [[Dream World]] in [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]. Yukari is also capable of seeing (and seeing through) boundaries that are normally invisible; when the [[Human Village]] was displaced from history by [[Keine Kamishirasawa]], Yukari was completely unfazed and still able to see it.<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'' Stage 3 - "Hey hey. I do see the humans as usual though. A deception of this level isn't useful at all, is it?"</ref><ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Introduction of Previous Works/Imperishable Night/Cross Review| Strange Creators of Outer World - Imperishable Night Cross Review]]</ref> She also tells Marisa that it would easy for her to manipulate the boundary between Winter and Spring.<ref name="PCBMarisaEXtra">[[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Marisa's Extra|Perfect Cherry Blossom - Marisa's Extra]]</ref><br />
<br />
It's shown that Yukari can control the boundaries and bend them to her will as seen in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' when she adjusted the sky by manipulating the border between the daylight and moonlight to unite the day and the night.<ref name=IaMPDayNight>''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]] Border Line - "While you were teasing me I adjusted the sky to enjoy both night and day. If the night falls now, the sky will be morning. The border of daylight and moonlight is mine"</ref> According to [[Marisa Kirisame]], Yukari can even control the boundary between "a [[danmaku]] for play and a danmaku for battle".<ref name="GoM">[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]: [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Yukari Yakumo's Spell Cards|Yukari Yakumo]]</ref><br />
<br />
Yukari is also capable of sensing and repairing damage to the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]], and although in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] doubts Yukari could make such a strong barrier,<ref>[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]] Reimu B Ending. Yuyuko comments that she doesn't think even Yukari could have made the Hakurei barrier by herself.</ref> she has been refered to as its creator in various occasions.<ref name ="Wahh25">[[Wild and Horned Hermit]] - '''Chapter 25:''' Reimu refers to Yukari as the creator of the barrier.</ref><ref name="CoLA26">[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]] - '''Chapter 26:''' Prologue and Rinnosuke's monologue.</ref> To add to all this, [[Hieda no Akyuu]] writes that "manipulation of boundaries" is theoretically a godlike power which would allow Yukari to create or destroy anything, but that all the stories about it are impossible to confirm.<ref name="PMiSSYukari" /> <br />
<br />
In ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' she is able to utilize her ability to create a portal to the "fantastic" side of the [[Moon]] using the moon's reflection on a lake's surface (a boundary) and only during the full moon, which is the only period of time during which the passage is open. For some unknown reason she is unable to use her powers to bring a ''living being'' on the far side of the Moon, which is where the [[Lunar Capital]] is located. Despite how limitless her ability sounds, there are in fact limitations, usually in relation to other powerful entities. <br />
<br />
Examples of the usage of this ability:<br />
*Neutralized [[Suika Ibuki]]'s ability by forcing the oni, which was spread as mist over the entirety of Gensokyo, into her normal form so that she could be seen and interacted with by others.<ref>''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' (several scenarios): After being defeated as the penultimate boss, Yukari makes Suika take her normal form so that she could be seen.</ref><br />
*Adjusted the sky by manipulating the border between the daylight and moonlight, to unite the day and the night.<ref name=IaMPDayNight /> Possibly, this also allowed Yukari to stop the night in [[Imperishable Night]].<ref>[[Imperishable Night/Story/Barrier Team's Scenario]] - Stage 4</ref><br />
*Manipulation of the boundary between the true and illusionary [[moon]], which allowed her to open a gap, that lead from [[Gensokyo]] to the [[Moon]], on the lake surface. (Lunar War, ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'')<br />
*By creating the Boundary of Fantasy and Reality, she estabilished the [[Outside World]] as the real world, and [[Gensokyo]] as an illusionary one, allowing youkai to disappear from the former and thrive in the latter. (''Youkai Expansion Project'', over 500 years ago)<br />
*She is widely acknowledged as the creator of the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]], which isolates Gensokyo from the Outside World. (The Great Barrier Disturbance)<br />
*Upon Yuyuko's request, weakening the [[Border of Life and Death]] between the world of the living and the [[Netherworld]], making it possible for denizens of both world to easily cross it. (''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'')<ref name="PMiSSYukari" /><ref>[[Perfect_Memento_in_Strict_Sense/Youmu_Konpaku|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense: Youmu Konpaku]]</ref><ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Basic Knowledge of Fantastic Words 2015]]</ref><br />
*When the Great Hakurei Barrier has loosened, she returned [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] to Gensokyo who has been ejected into the outside world (''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'')<br />
*Dragged the real [[Sumireko Usami]] out of the [[Dream World]] (''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'')<br />
*By manipulating the border of master and slave during the [[Antinomy of Common Flowers|Perfect Possession incident]], she thwarted [[Joon Yorigami|Joon]] and [[Shion Yorigami]]'s scheme that allowed Joon to win any battle by forcing Shion as the enemy's slave (''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'')<br />
*Many of her [[Spell Card]]s and attacks allude to various circumstances involving boundary manipulation or creation, such as: ''Barrier "Balance of Motion and Stillness"'', ''Barrier "Mesh of Light and Darkness"'', ''"Boundary of Humans and Youkai"'', ''Barrier "Charming Quadruple Barrier"'', between many others. The description of Yukari's ''"Boundary of Intellect and Feet"'' states that she would be able to cut anything by using boundaries, a motif also used in her ''Splitter "Thing That Splits All Into Two"'' Spell Card.<br />
*According to herself, when humans have noctambulism it's because she manipulates the boundary between sleeping and being awake.<ref name="PCBMarisaEXtra" /><br />
;Onmyoudou<br />
Yukari is skilled in [[wikipedia:Onmyoudou|Onmyoudou]], the [[Taoism]]-derived arts of traditional Japanese court wizards, and specializes in spells which create and manipulate barriers (presumably due to overlap with her innate abilities). Yukari has been able to teach some of her spells to [[Reimu Hakurei]], whose own techniques have similar roots.<br />
<br />
Yukari also displays great aptitude with [[shikigami]], binding [[Ran Yakumo|a powerful kitsune]] and [[Yukari's crows|numerous lesser servants]] at once. As Shikigami are stronger when following the right orders, Yukari must also be skilled at giving the correct orders to fully maximize her shikigamis' potential. In an [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Ran|interview]] with [[Aya Shameimaru]], [[Ran Yakumo]] states that despite sleeping most of the time, Yukari is capable of giving orders no one else would think up the instant she opens her mouth, and Yukari uses complex equations to increase Ran's power indefinitely (This manner of using shikigami is likely one of the reasons Yukari views computers and shikigami as one and the same).<br />
<br />
;Various<br />
*'''Talking without sound:''' Yukari was able to talk to [[Luna Child]] even after the fairy erased all sound around her. As decribed, it was a voice that Luna heard in her own heart. It's unknown if this ability is part of her main ability over boundaries. ([[Eastern and Little Nature Deity/Fairy of the Moon|Fairy of the Moon]])<br />
*'''Resisting Suika's power:''' According to Suika, Yukari was the only one able to resist her power, which she used to gather everyone's thoughts making them have banquets for several days.<ref>[[Immaterial and Missing Power]] - Alice's scenario</ref> ([[Immaterial and Missing Power]])<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
According to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', an apparent article on Yukari appears in the first edition of the Gensokyo Chronicle from 1,200 years ago. However, this article did not refer to her name as "Yukari Yakumo"<ref name="PMiSSYukari" />. It is believed she chose this name for herself, the name "Yukari" signifying that she was a youkai of [[boundary|boundaries]], and the name "Yakumo" from a poem about creating a great fenced mansion where one can live a peaceful life in seclusion, and a strong fortress to keep the [[god]]s trapped inside.<ref>[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter_26]]</ref> This land would be [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
===Saigyou Ayakashi Occurrence===<br />
Over a thousand years ago, Yukari met and became friends with a [[human]] girl named [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]]. Over time, Yuyuko was driven to suicide out of despair over her ability to control death. After Yuyuko died, her body was used to seal the [[Saigyou Ayakashi]], a [[youkai]] tree which drained the lives of too many humans, by an unknown individual who hoped Yuyuko would never have to suffer and experience pain again. The seal was created as the boundary between life and death. Yukari continued to be friends with Yuyuko's [[ghost (Species)|ghost]], although Yuyuko gradually forgot who she had been and why she had died<ref>[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]: Yuyuko and Yukari's profiles. Applies to the entire paragraph</ref>.<br />
<br />
It is not stated who sealed the Saigyou Ayakashi. It was someone who held Yuyuko very dear, judging by the record ("My wish... is that she will never again reincarnate, and never again suffer pain..."). Yuyuko's profile describes the hypothetical breaking of the seal as "breaching the boundary". The boundary sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi is apparently the boundary between life and death, as this is what [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Afterword|the BGM that plays during the Saigyou Ayakashi's reflowering]] represents. [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Spell Cards/Phantasm#Spell Card 140|Boundary of Life and Death]] is one of Yukari's spell cards. This possibly implies it was Yukari who sealed the Saigyou Ayakashi. Yukari's profile reveals she knew all along that Yuyuko's body was sealing it, and gives a clear motive, as the tree was killing too many humans. As another possible indication, ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' brings up [[wikipedia:Zhuangzi#The butterfly dream|the butterfly dream]] regarding Yuyuko's spell card during the Saigyou Ayakashi's reflowering, which is a theme associated with Yukari.<br />
<br />
One day, Yuyuko requested that Yukari use her power to repair the border between the [[Netherworld]] and Gensokyo. Yukari sleepily set off to do so. She had known Yuyuko's plan to make the [[Saigyou Ayakashi]] bloom could never succeed, but was too busy sleeping to say or do anything about it, or to put the border back to normal after everything was finished, which put her on a collision course with the heroines of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''.<br />
<br />
===Lunar War===<br />
Also over a thousand years ago, the youkai now named Yukari Yakumo<ref name="CiLRLastCh">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]: [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Last_Chapter|Last_Chapter]]</ref> organized an army of youkai and led them in an invasion of the [[Moon]], of which Yuyuko was also present for<ref name="CiLRCh7">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]: [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Seventh Chapter|Chapter 7]]</ref><ref name="CiLRLastCh" />. Publicly, Yukari states the invasion was to take the [[Lunarian]]s' source of power, an infinite energy source which let them play all day.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]: Chapter 3</ref><br />
<br />
However, the youkai were subsequently routed by the [[Lunarian]]s, who possessed superior technology and magic, and forced to retreat to Earth. While Yukari claims she organized the invasion out of desire for that power, her true purpose may be that she did it to teach the youkai a lesson about starting wars of conquest; namely, that it was a bad idea, as since that time, no youkai have attempted to expand their territory beyond Gensokyo.<ref name="PMiSSYukari" /><br />
<br />
===Border of Gensokyo===<br />
Since then, Yukari has had numerous roles in managing Gensokyo and the youkai. She authored a system of constellations for the youkai<ref name="CoLACh22">[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]: [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 22|Chapter 22]]</ref>. She enacted the Youkai Expansion Project 500 years ago by creating a border between illusion and reality around Gensokyo. She was one of the sages who suggested the creation of the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]] 120 years ago, and is believed to be its creator,<ref name ="Wahh25" /> or at least one of its creators<ref name="PMiSSYukari" /><br />
<br />
The Gensokyo Record in [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Translation/Prologue|''Perfect Cherry Blossom''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s prologue]] says that the original Gensokyo boundary (presumably the first "boundary between inside and outside" mentioned in Yukari's ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' article) was created by priests, but [[ZUN]] said in his [[ZUN's E-mails|e-mails]] that the Gensokyo Record is not reliable, and that only the long lived youkai knows the true history of Gensokyo. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] firmly believes Yukari was involved, and the prologue of [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 26|''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'', Chapter 26]],<ref name="CoLA26" />. states that Yukari being the creator of the barrier that separates the human world and Gensokyo is an ongoing rumor. According to Rinnosuke, Yukari's power is what separates Gensokyo from the outside world,<ref name="CoLA26" /> and Reimu refered to Yukari as the creator of the barrier when explaining its properties to [[Kasen Ibaraki]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]].<ref name = Wahh25 /><br />
<br />
===Yukari and "The Vampire Incident"===<br />
Regarding the Vampire Incident in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', it is not stated who were the powerful youkai that defeated the [[vampire]], who signed the contract with the vampire, or who was the one who wrote the original draft of the [[Spell Card]] rules that came afterwards (as it was also written on youkai contract paper, [[Hieda no Akyuu]] feels it wasn't the [[Shrine Maiden]]). However, the colophon at the end reveals that Yukari is the author of a work called "Vampire Pact". This possibly implies her involvement in at least one of these things (if not all three) in the fact that Yukari may've had been involved in the deal with the devil, [[Remilia Scarlet]]. At the very least, [[Strange_Creators_of_Outer_World/Who%27s_Who_of_Humans_%26_Youkai_in_Gensokyo/Yukari_Yakumo,_Ran_Yakumo,_and_Chen|Strange Creators of Outer World]] states that she was apparently involved in the creation of the spell card rules.<br />
<br />
On the related note to the contract, it's explicitly stated in her ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' profile that she's the one responsible for [[outsider]]s ending up in Gensokyo, where most of them get devoured by youkai. Her involvement is made even more explicit in Chapter 14 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', where Yukari reveals to [[Kasen Ibaraki]] that having the [[zashiki-warashi]] sent to the [[outside world]] takes precedence above keeping them in Gensokyo, and then cryptically comments, "Gensokyo's getting the food to fill the stomachs of all of its youkai from somewhere." This could further extend to an article on [[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 3|''Symposium of Post-mysticism'']], where there were human bones near a well, but no human of Gensokyo was missing and Yukari made no reference to the outside world humans, calling it a "misunderstanding"; the bones later on disappeared.<br />
<br />
===Underground Agreement===<br />
She made a deal with certain youkai to allow them to have their own realm underground in [[Former Hell]] if they pacified the evil spirits there<ref name="SA-R&Y">[[Subterranean Animism]]: [[Subterranean Animism/Story/Reimu and Yukari's Scenario|Reimu and Yukari's Scenario]]</ref>. For a while, Yukari took it upon herself to make regular check-ups on various aspects of Gensokyo such as the [[Human Village]] or the barrier, but eventually took on [[Ran Yakumo]] as a [[shikigami]] and left such tasks to her.<ref name="PMiSSRan">[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]: [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Ran_Yakumo|Ran Yakumo]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS yukari.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yukari, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
===Name and origin===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo||八雲 紫|Yukari Yakumo}}. The characters for {{nihongo||八雲|Yakumo}} literally mean "eight clouds", but can also mean "countless clouds", and {{nihongo||紫|Yukari}} means "purple" or "violet" (In ordinary Japanese perspective these two colors are not discriminated).<br />
<br />
[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 26|Chapter 26]] of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'' reveals that Yukari gave herself that name, in which she didn't have that name 1,200 years ago<ref name="PMiSSYukari" />. Probably a coincidence, there is a train service in Japan called {{nihongo|"[[wikipedia:Yakumo (train)|Yakumo]]"|[[wikipedia:ja:やくも (列車)|やくも]]}}.<br />
<br />
;Yukari's name related to colors<br />
All of the Yakumo family are named after colors. The light frequencies (energies) of the colors are proportional to their powers: [[Chen]] (orange) << [[Ran Yakumo]] (indigo) < Yukari (violet). The energy of violet light is the highest in the visible spectrum, and violet light is the boundary between visible and invisible light. Red light (the symbolic color of [[Remilia Scarlet]] or [[Reimu Hakurei]]) is another boundary, but they are stronger than Chen. Fittingly, when Reimu and Yukari team up in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', they are called the "Boundary Team". In addition to maintaining the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]], their colors form the two boundaries between visible and invisible light. In addition, the word "yukari" is uncommonly used to mean "border" or "edge", albeit with a different character.<br />
<br />
Occasionally, double rainbows form after rainfall—there's the rainbow one usually sees (red on the top, and violet at the bottom), and another, larger, fainter one above it. The colors on the second rainbow are reversed—red on the bottom, and violet at the top. In other words, the outside edges of the rainbow are violet—or, put another way, ''violet forms the boundary between the sky and the rainbow''. Thus, Yukari's given name strongly signifies the idea of boundaries.<br />
<br />
In Japan (and many other countries) "purple" or "violet" had been thought as a noble color, and used occasionally as a color for ''high ranks''. In fact, [[ZUN]] mentioned in some of his interviews{{Citation needed}} that he was aware of this fact and uses the color on certain character designs to show levels of power and nobility, thus in this sense using both "violet" as her name and in dress shows that Yukari was ''designed'' to be powerful and high ranking.<br />
<br />
;Yukari's name related to Koizumi Yakumo (Lafcadio Hearn)<br />
There is an assumption that her name ''Yakumo'' is taken from the writer [[wikipedia:Lafcadio Hearn|Lafcadio Hearn]], who naturalized as a Japanese citizen and renamed to "Koizumi Yakumo". When fans asked about the implied connection between Yukari and [[Maribel Hearn]] in a [[Doujin Barrier: The Work Called Touhou and the Fantasy of Game Creation|high school open lecture program]], ZUN brought up Lafcadio Hearn but did not elaborate, yet his answer in some way semi-confirmed this connection. ''See [[Maribel Hearn]] article page for details.''<br />
<br />
;Yukari's name related to an ancient poem<br />
''Yakumo'' also comes from the first ancient poem written in what would become the Japanese "Tanka" form:<br />
:"Yakumo tatsu / Izumo yagegaki / Tsuma-gomini / Yaegaki tsukuro / Sono yaegaki wo"<br />
:Definitely in keeping with the character's origin/age in the storyline. The translation into English is:<br />
:"Eightfold rising clouds/ Build an eightfold fence / An eightfold Izumo fence / Wherein to keep my bride-- / Oh! splendid eightfold fence"<br />
:This poem was attributed to the god Susanoo. Interpretations vary as to the meaning of the poem.<br />
<br />
Yukari's name is thoroughly analyzed in [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 26|chapter 26]] of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'' by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]]. However, Rinnosuke implies at the end that there may be even more meanings hidden in it.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Her first appearance was in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', where she is depicted with purple eyes and long blonde hair. She carries a pink lace parasol and a paper fan and rides on a red [[gap]] that leads to an unknown destination. She wears a deep purple dress, a pale pink mob cap with a thin red ribbon and smaller ribbons tied liberally on her accessories and the tips of her hair.<br />
<br />
In her appearances in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', her eyes have become dark golden. She wears a purple Chinese-style tabard with various [[#Hexagram|Trigrams]] over a pale pink Western-style dress (similar to [[Ran Yakumo]]'s outfit), wears her hair coiled up into her mob cap, and usually carries a pink parasol. She wears the same outfit in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', but her hair is left loose. In the Japanese community this outfit is known as the {{nihongo|"Taoist outfit"|道士服}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', her sleeves get black bands with a white design on them.<br />
<br />
According to ZUN, the purple dress in ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' is her casual daywear and the pink one with the Ba Gua symbol in ''Imperishable Night'' is the work attire she wears when she commands her Shikigami.{{citation needed}}<br />
<br />
;Trigram / Hexagram<br />
The outfit Yukari wears in post-''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' games has two groups of solid/broken lines called [[wikipedia:I Ching|trigrams]] on the front. A solid line represents Yang and a broken line is Yin. The top trigram ({{lang|ja|☱}}) is "dui" or "tui" (open) and is associated with west and lake/marsh. The bottom trigram ({{lang|ja|☷}}) is "kūn" (field) and is associated with southwest and earth, as well as [[wikipedia:Yoni|Yoni]] (divine passage). The two trigrams together in that order form the [[wikipedia:List of I Ching hexagrams 33-64#Hexagram 45|hexagram]] for "clustering," "gathering together," and "finished".<br />
<br />
The hexagram "Ts'ui" formed by the combination of "dui" and "kun" results in a meaning of gathering together to persevere towards a destination. This hexagram signifies also great wisdom which is necessary for leadership when directing an assembly together to create overall prosperity for everyone. Yukari herself can be seen as an overseer of [[Gensokyo]]. Her ability to manipulate [[boundary|boundaries]] would definitely give her the ability to bring everyone together while maintaining the harmony of the "created" world.<br />

Marisa thinks Yukari wants to break the power stone because it might throw Gensokyo's into chaos, but Yukari doesn't consider it nearly enough to bring chaos, saying they are lucky to have gained that kind of power because it could make Gensokyo change even more. Marisa is a bit surprised to hear Yukari talking about Gensokyo changing, but the youkai leaves without laying a finger on the power stone after recommending Marisa to cherish her relations with [[Sagume Kishin|the creator]] of the power stone.<br />

===Literature===<br />
[[File:041BAiJRYukari.jpg|thumb|left|Yukari with [[Aya Shameimaru]] in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]].'']]<br />
;''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''<br />
:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Yukari|l1=Youkai Practices Animal Abuse}}<br />
After hearing a fox's cry, [[Aya Shameimaru]] went to investigate. She found Yukari beating [[Ran Yakumo]] over the head with an umbrella, which Yukari claimed was only for disciplining her. Because Aya is a ''[[crow]]'' [[tengu]], she feels animal rights are important and was upset by Yukari's "animal abuse".<br />
<br />
During the interview Yukari insisted that it was not animal abuse because Ran is a [[shikigami]], which Yukari considered to make her no longer count as being an animal. Yukari explained that as long as a shikigami follows its master's will then it will be as strong as its master. Ran had apparently disobeyed Yukari by doing something she hadn't been ordered to do. Because of that Ran wasn't as strong as she could be and ended up putting herself in danger while relying only on her own strength. This discipline was meant to remind Ran just who her master is so that Ran won't needlessly be in danger by fighting at less than full strength. Aya didn't think that excused it at all.<br />
<br />
Yukari also called the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]] a shoddy paper and offered to make Aya her shikigami too, which Aya refused.<br />
<br />
;''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense''<br />
Yukari edited ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' and was one of its major sources, according to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Memorizable Gensokyo|Memorizable Gensokyo]]'', yet did not confirm her involvement in the above events. One common thread regarding them seems to be that they primarily benefited [[human]]s, not [[youkai]] (the vampire contract even went so overboard towards protecting humans that youkai complained to the shrine maiden). In addition to this, she has her own in-universe article that provides encyclopedic information about her.<br />
[[File:SaBNDYukari.png|thumb|200px|Yukari appearance in [[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]]]<br />
;''Touhou Bougetsushou''<br />
[[Ran Yakumo]] tells [[Remilia Scarlet]] in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' chapter 3 that Yukari invaded the [[moon]] to procure its secret of power to improve the youkai quality of life. This is probably the official reason Yukari gave all youkai for the war, as otherwise, Remilia could confirm Ran was lying just by asking around. However, privately, in [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fifth_Chapter|''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'' Chapter 5]], Yukari reveals to Ran that she knew it was impossible for the beings of Earth to ever win a direct confrontation against the [[Lunarian]]s. It is never stated when Yukari made this realization, so it is possible she knew this even before the first Genso-Lunar War. In addition, [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Last_Chapter|The last chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'' has the line, "While it was Yukari who led the invasion that had ''convincingly'' failed more than one thousand years ago,". The word "convincingly" could imply it was staged. If this was the case, then presumably the outcome where youkai decided to stop expanding beyond [[Gensokyo]] was Yukari's true intent.<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
In chapter 33, while Reimu was cooking for a party, she is interrumpted by Yukari, who brings her some plants to help her in the feast. Lately, in the party, she explains that those plants are western dandelions, an invasive plant which could move the japanese dandelions and change Gensokyo's ecosystem. Because of that, she decides to write an article in the newspaper claiming to be health food for humans and luxury for youkai. As a result, they were very demanded, they were used for cooking and the thread was resolved peacefully.<br />
<br />
In chapter 35, [[Kasen Ibara]] opens a hole in the barrier to check the reason why she noticed a distorsion in the barrier. She feels an arm and grabs it thinking it was a disappeared villager, but it was just Yukari. She asks about the spiriting away, and Yukari responds that is something she does, but the "humaning away" is relationed to [[Sumireko Usami]]. She explains how everytime Sumireko enters Gensokyo the barrier needs to kick someone of similar power in order to lessen the shock. At first, it only affected little things, but now it seems to kick humans too. Yukari comes up with the idea of using dummies with similar weight. Furthermore, she says she will wait as much as necessary until Kasen comes to "this side". Kasen replies telling her that won't happen. They are interrupted by Reimu, who thinks Yukari is the culprit and she defeats her, without noticing that Kasen ran away before she arrived.<br />
<br />
;''Strange and Bright Nature Deity''<br />
In chapter 23, Yukari appears at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] and make [[Reimu]] and [[Marisa]] follow her to a tree that grow back to normal after being struck by a lighting. After realizing the [[Three Fairies of Light]] wanted to live there, she decided to prove their strength to see if they could make some unwanted secondary effects with their magic. After seeing they were very weak and that that concern is not necessary, she leaves them leave there. <br><br />
In chapter 25, Yukari explains to Reimu and Marisa that that tree appeared in Gensokyo as a result of replacing another, which was in the barrier. As no fairy lived there and Reimu worshiped it as a god and almost intermediately abandon it, the tree started to get worse. That would make a hole in the barrier, but now that [[Sunny]], [[Luna]] and [[Star]] lived there, the problem was solved. <br />
<br />
;''Symposium of Post-mysticism''<br />
[[File:ThGK Bunbunmaru3.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Yukari with [[Kisume]] in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]].'']]<br />
:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 3|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism: Skeletal Remains Found from the Dry Well}}<br />
Back in 1984, [[Aya Shameimaru]] reports that during Gensokyo's winter, children were finding skeletal remains of a [[human]] while playing around a dried-up well, to which it ended up that the well was declared to be off-limits. Apparently, a [[tsurube-otoshi]] [[youkai]] (presumably [[Kisume]]) came out of well saying "So is THIS the body you dropped down here?" and threw the bones at them. There were no-one missing, so for who the bones belong to is a mystery.<br />
<br />
The bones disappeared while no-one was looking during preparations to bury it in [[Muenzuka]]. This rolled onto a case whether there was any sort of [[incident]] or not, along with the identity of the previous owner of the bones. Yukari thought it was by the youkai from the [[Underworld]] and that they wanted to scare the humans since their powers come from the negative energy of humans, but it may've been a simple misunderstanding. There was a non-intervention agreement pact made between the underworld youkai and the surface, so the situation could become complicated.<br />
<br />
The incident was settled as silver birch branches have been mistaken for bones, to which no ominous occurrences had happened at the [[Human Village]]. At a later date, it was confirmed that the dried-up well was filled in with dirt; who did this is unknown.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
Yukari instigated [[Kosuzu]] to read the [[Night Parade Picture Scroll]] to resolve her status with the Youkai. Ultimately, Reimu discovered her plot but was forced to concede that she was right and help resolve Kosuzu's status.<br />
<br />
;''Lotus Eaters''<br />
Yukari was the main antagonist behind [[Miyoi Okunoda]]'s sudden coma. She did it as a warning towards Sanshoku Geidontei.<br />
<br />
==Connections with the Outside World==<br />
In [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 11|Chapter 11]] and [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 12|Chapter 12]] of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', when [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] had an [[wikipedia:iPod|iPod]] in [[Kourindou]], only Yukari knew how to actually use it, and further knew that it was considered a trendy item in the [[Outside World]]. She similarly knew about the [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] [[wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]] and [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|DS]]. She appears very knowledgeable about the outside world.<br />
<br />
Because of her understanding of technology from the outside world, there are rumors that she lives in the outside world from time to time. It is confirmed that she at least visits there. Reimu mentions in [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 24|''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' Chapter 24]] that Yukari told her that she gets to enjoy twice the amount of cherry blossom viewings a year because she also goes to watch the blossoms in the outside world, which occurs at a different time from Gensokyo's. In addition, Yukari at the end of Chapter 25 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' is shown viewing the [[Hakurei Shrine]] from the outside world (some panels focus specifically on pointing out there are cars driving by).<br />
<br />
[[Marisa Kirisame]] once stated that Yukari uses a small box to talk to her [[shikigami]] when they are far away from her, which led Rinnosuke to believe that she owns a phone. She has given characters phone-like devices in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Yukari mentions in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' chapter 10 that radio towers fall into Gensokyo every once in a while. Presumably her phones use those in order to work.<br />
<br />
Many of her fighting game win quotes make references to the outside world.<br />
<br />
It was said that she lived in an estate somewhere in [[Gensokyo]], but other than that, nothing is known. It is said that her residence is at the end of Gensokyo just like how the [[Hakurei Shrine]] is, but the true location is completely unclear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Using her [[gap]] to travel across [[Gensokyo]], despite sleeping a lot, Yukari has encountered many [[youkai]] and [[human]]s in the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. By many residents of Gensokyo, she is commonly referred to as the "Gap Youkai" when she's involved in a conversation.<br />
<br />
===[[Reimu]] and [[Marisa]]===<br />
[[File:CoLAReimuYukari.jpg|thumb|192px|Yukari stealing Reimu's food, as illustrated in ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]''.]]<br />
Yukari has always had a close tie to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] maidens, as one meaning of her name is she controls the [[Shrine Maiden]]s of [[Gensokyo]]. [[Reimu Hakurei]], along with [[Marisa Kirisame]], first met Yukari when she asked her to repair the border between the [[Netherworld]] and [[Gensokyo]] in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''. However, Yukari indicated she is already familiar with Reimu and Marisa to an unspecified extent. With Marisa, it resulted in Yukari playing a prank on her by keeping her up way past bedtime.<br />
<br />
As a friend, she often visits Reimu at the Hakurei Shrine and often drops by Marisa's house randomly, to which in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' Marisa complains that Yukari never uses the door. Yukari steals food from Reimu in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', stays at Reimu's shrine for at least a month into the winter in ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', and is among several characters when Reimu complains about youkai visitors to her shrine in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]''. She sometimes visits to discuss philosophical matters like in ''[[Seasonal Dream Vision]]'', or ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' where she gave Reimu out-of-season taro roots from the [[Outside World|outside world]], asking her to think about their meaning.<br />
<br />
As an employer, she's given Reimu several missions in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. An offhand comment in the first stage of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' shows she compensated Reimu for it.<br />
<br />
As a mentor, she is often teaching Reimu not just about Gensokyo (she does that a lot, too, shown several times in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'') but also how to do her job as [[Shrine Maiden]]. She shows up when Reimu purposefully damages the barrier in ''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' to tell her not to do that, reminds Reimu of her youkai-crushing duties in ''Imperishable Night''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s extra, and makes Reimu train hard to prepare for ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' (''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' states the latter is rare for her). The latter included Yukari attacking Reimu at unannounced times.<br />
<br />
She seems to be secretly looking after Reimu in other ways, as she sneaks yen donations into the [[Hakurei Shrine]]'s donation offering box when Reimu isn't looking in chapter 23 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]''. Like most characters, Reimu finds Yukari extremely annoying. Yukari doesn't mind, clearly joking "How rude!" or "What a greeting!" to such things. In the case of ''Seasonal Dream Vision'' for Marisa, she got angry over Yukari's random visit, but it was because Yukari was curious as to Marisa's thoughts on the matter regarding the flower incident, so presumably many of Yukari's other visits to Marisa are for her own amusement, as well.<br />
<br />
===[[Shikigami]]===<br />
[[File:040BAiJRYukari.jpg|thumb|192px|Yukari smacking [[Ran Yakumo]], as illustrated in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]''.]]<br />
;[[Ran Yakumo]]<br />
Ran Yakumo is Yukari's main [[shikigami]], a nine-tailed fox who received her current name and identity as part of their contract. An interview in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'' with [[Aya Shameimaru]] implies that she became Yukari's shikigami because of the power it promised, and is quite satisfied with the result despite losing her freedom. Ran was not born before the Genso-Lunar War, so she must have become Yukari's shikigami sometime after that.<br />
<br />
Yukari keeps the relationship on a user-to-shikigami level. This relationship is analogous to a user and its computer in the [[Outside World]], and Yukari insists heavily that Ran is not a fox, but is a tool to be used. Yukari's own thoughts and perspective in [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fifth Chapter|Chapter Five]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'' refers to Ran with computer terms, such as programming or debugging. Ran is still more advanced than a computer, so Yukari attempts philosophical discussion with Ran from time to time, but typically gets boring responses involving numbers and calculations. Yukari loves Ran very much, but in terms of how one would love a favorite tool.<br />
<br />
Ran often "forgets" she is a shikigami, taking matters into her own hands without Yukari's orders. This can't be helped because Yukari sleeps a lot. Yukari will physically discipline Ran when this happens (by whacking her with her umbrella). Using a tool and keeping it in good shape (via discipline) shows love for your shikigami (according to Yukari). Ran accepts and seems satisfied with this, and also seems to care for her master, attempting to encourage Yukari after [[Silent Sinner in Blue|the second Genso-Lunar War]] failed. But she won't disagree that her master is annoying and is often driven to much frustration by Yukari's double-speak and secrecy. <br />
<br />
;[[Chen]]<br />
Ran also has a [[shikigami]] named Chen. As Ran's shikigami, Chen follows the will of both [[Ran Yakumo]] and Yukari Yakumo, though her shikigami "programming" is not as unified with her original personality as Ran's is, and it's implied she's quite the handful as a result. Unlike Ran, Yukari views Chen as both Ran's shikigami and their pet, saying in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', "I wonder where our cat went off to? It's such a pain when she just suddenly disappears like that. I wish you'd take care to program your own familiar properly. Without any bugs."<br />
<br />
Unlike Ran Yakumo, Chen is never called "Chen Yakumo", even when "Chen" and "Ran Yakumo" show up in the same sentence in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Chen|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.<br />
<br />
;[[Yukari's crows]]<br />
Zenki and Goki are two [[crow]]s that Yukari and Ran use as [[shikigami]]. They might be temporary names for all shikigami crows, as one gets killed by [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]], yet three more spy for Yukari later in [[Silent Sinner in Blue|Chapter 20]] of ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
;[[Yuyuko Saigyouji]]<br />
Yukari and Yuyuko were friends even while Yuyuko was alive more than a thousand years ago, and continued to be Yuyuko's friend after she became a [[Ghost (Species)|ghost]]. Of note is that this friendship between Yuyuko and Yukari does not extend to Yukari's shikigami Ran, and Yuyuko does not mind others beating Ran up.<br />
<br />
Yuyuko seems to be the only one who truly understands Yukari. Yukari knows this as well, often just assuming that Yuyuko knows what she's talking about or what's going on (this is clear whenever the two interact, including victory quotes). The two don't think exactly alike, however, which results in Yuyuko acting in ways that surprises Yukari. Yukari will do something just because Yuyuko asked and vice versa.<br />
<br />
Yukari believed the [[Saigyou Ayakashi]] ate too many [[human]] lives. She was always aware that Yuyuko's body was sealing it. It's possible Yukari is the one who sealed it using Yuyuko's body, herself.<br />
<br />
;[[Youmu Konpaku]]<br />
Being Yuyuko's servant, Yukari helps Youmu with lessons and advice every once in a while, like in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Story/Youmu's Scenario|Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''.<br />
<br />
===The Oni===<br />
;[[Suika Ibuki]]<br />
Yukari was Suika Ibuki's friend before the [[oni]] went underground. It is unknown how or when they became friends. Yukari looks out for Suika in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power/Story/Yukari's Scenario|Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and Suika does favors for Yukari, such as rebuilding the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'' or helping to investigate the underground. The two play [[danmaku]] battles with each other, though it's been a while since the last one before ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody''. In ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' Chapter 12, Yukari is with Suika at the Hakurei Shrine New Year's Festival.<br />
<br />
Suika does get annoyed with Yukari's "dirty tricks", but doesn't go beyond snapping that they're dirty. Suika may know some of Yukari's secrets, as she's referred to Yukari's existence as fraudulent in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power/Story/Suika's Scenario|Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', and stated to Yukari that it was rare to see her "on this side of the world" in broad daylight.<br />
<br />
;[[Yuugi Hoshiguma]]<br />
Yuugi is one of the [[oni]] (presumably Suika is another) that Yukari made a deal with. In exchange for keeping the [[Evil spirit|evil spirit]]s of former [[hell]] in control, Yukari would give them their own place in the [[Underworld]] and keep the overworld [[youkai]] from intruding. Unlike Suika, Yukari does not seem to have any personal attachments to Yuugi. As an aside, from Yukari's ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' ending, Yukari believes that if the oni ever do come back to [[Gensokyo]], it must be gradual instead of all oni coming back at once.<br />
<br />
===Sages of Gensokyo===<br />
;[[Kasen Ibaraki]]<br />
It is unknown how long Yukari and Kasen have known each other, but both are [[youkai sages]]. The monologue in [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]] states it was the youkai sages who proposed the Hakurei Barrier, so Yukari and Kasen probably knew each other since at least that time.<br />
<br />
After Kasen came down from the mountain in the present day, Yukari assumed Kasen was always "on her side" and that Kasen's actions were intended to help Yukari's ideals. Kasen finally got fed up by the time of Wild and Horned Hermit Chapter 35 and angrily informed Yukari that she wasn't on her side. This caused Yukari a brief visible moment of distress before she regained her composure, but she also stated she would wait as long as it takes for Kasen to come to her side.<br />
<br />
Kasen's dream self in [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]] calls Yukari a coward who gets others to do her work for her because she's too scared to do it herself. As dream selves are unrestrained exaggerations of the real being, it is uncertain how much of this reflects Kasen's actual view of Yukari, but from Doremy's explanation of dream selves in Reisen's scenario, it does mean Kasen's normal feelings fall along those lines at least somewhat.<br />
<br />
;[[Okina Matara]]<br />
Another one of the [[youkai sages]]. It's implied in Reimu's extra stage in ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]'' that the two are familiar with each other, and that Yukari helped Reimu defeating Okina by suggesting her to use the "boundary between seasons" to fight her. Okina recognized Yukari's modus operandi, while Reimu said she didn't understand the logic behind the countermeasure method she was using. During the fire works festival that Usami wrote about in [[The Grimoire of Usami]], the two banter about things as equals.<br />
<br />
===Residents of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]===<br />
;[[Remilia Scarlet]]<br />
Yukari uses Remilia as part of her scheme to extract the residence tax and get revenge on the Lunarians in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. Patchouli reveals Remilia knew she was manipulated but didn't care, because she was bored. Remilia herself has an unexplained rivalry of sorts with Yukari, wanting to get to the [[Moon]] in her own way before Yukari could to surprise her. This rivalry might be due to the power struggle mentioned in [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Vampire|''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Vampire article]], possibly starting with the vampire incident. The rivalry is mostly on Remilia's part, though Remilia has no objections to Yukari staying for the party at the end of ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' or assisting her with investigating in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''.<br />
<br />
Dialogues in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' seems to imply they've already known each other before that game. It is possible they met at the [[vampire]] incident, and that Yukari was the one that signed "the contract" with Remilia.<br />
<br />
;[[Patchouli Knowledge]]<br />
Patchouli first meets Yukari in her scenario in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''. In ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', Yukari places her in charge of watching the [[underworld]] in her victory quote to her. Patchouli later informs and urges her to act about the [[Evil spirit|evil spirit]]s coming out of the underground in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s prologue. Yukari finally agrees to act because she "can't let them all just do whatever they want again". It is unknown (even to Patchouli) which incident Yukari is referring to (there are many possible ones). Patchouli continues to collaborate with Yukari regarding the underground, as she informs Yukari of the [[Myouren Temple|Palanquin Ship]] in a ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' victory quote.<br />
<br />
===[[Eientei]] Residents===<br />
Along with Reimu, Yukari confronted Eirin and [[Kaguya Houraisan]] to restore the full [[moon]] in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', making Yukari one of the few characters who knows they're from the moon. After the incident was resolved and the moon restored, the girls all had a round of moon viewing sake with each other.<br />
<br />
Unknown to each other, Eirin and Yukari's own history actually goes back further than that. As mentioned by [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] at the end of chapter 17 of ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', one thousand years ago, Eirin set up a trap to catch someone who'd try to invade the moon. Yukari was well aware of the trap, apparently having already triggered it before (assuming her "make-believe" story in ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'' actually happened). She seems to bear a grudge against the [[Lunarian]] sage (Eirin) that set it, referring to her as "the much-despised Lunarian sage".<br />
<br />
However, Yukari hasn't realized who Eirin is. Neither of them make special note of each other in ''Imperishable Night'' and are amicable with each other in the ending. Near the end of ''Silent Sinner in Blue'', Yukari remarks to [[Ran Yakumo]] that she's unsure if "[[Eirin Yagokoro|the Brain of the Moon]]" had actually settled on Earth. Yukari suspects Eirin is a spy for the Moon.<br />
<br />
The final chapter of ''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'' reveals that Yukari orchestrated the events primarily to teach Eirin to fear the unknown, likely because those who live as [[human]]s in [[Gensokyo]] are supposed to fear the [[youkai]] (as stated in Yukari's lecture to Ran earlier about the aliens).<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Rinnosuke Morichika]]<br />
Yukari and Rinnosuke mostly have business arrangements. In exchange for fuel for his kerosene fan heater, Yukari takes merchandise she likes and occasionally provides information on items. While he is grateful, Rinnosuke also doesn't like dealing with her all that much and makes note of how ominous she seems. Although he can't remember it, Yukari once prevented Rinnosuke from being spirited away to the [[Outside World]].<br />
<br />
;[[Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu]]<br />
When Yukari senses Eiki approaching in ''[[Seasonal Dream Vision]]'', she and Yuyuko leave immediately to avoid talking with her. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' notes that most long-lived [[youkai]] were assisted by Eiki at least once and avoid her due to her lectures.<br />
<br />
;[[Alice Margatroid]]<br />
For whatever reason, Alice Margatroid is willing to confront Yukari in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' despite otherwise avoiding strong youkai such as [[Remilia Scarlet]] and [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]]. Yukari's also set up Alice's [[doll]]s off-page to allow for long-range communications in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Her dialogue towards Yukari in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' shows that they knew each other before then. Like most characters, Alice is still suspicious of Yukari by default. Alice is aware of various youkai roles and agreements that Yukari is constantly preaching. Yukari also harshly scolds Alice in Alice's second bad ending in ''Immaterial and Missing Power'', much to everyone else's entertainment.<br />
<br />
;[[Keine Kamishirasawa]]<br />
Yukari and Keine met and fought at the [[Human Village]] in ''[[Imperishable Night]]''. Keine's ability to hide history has no effect on Yukari, who didn't even know she was using her ability in the first place. It is unexplained why, but history and reality are mentioned regarding Yukari so often that there are many possible reasons. Yukari also disliked Keine for being a human-faced beast.<br />
<br />
;[[Three Fairies of Light]]<br />
Yukari met the Three Fairies of Light in a continuation of chapter 0 in ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'' chapter 5, asking if she could join in on their pranks. They ran away from her. Later, in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', Yukari needed to repair a tree that was part of the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. She did so by moving the three fairies into it, but only after testing that they were too weak to cause serious trouble. They failed the test with flying colors, so Yukari let them move in. Sunny's ability to reflect some of Yukari's [[danmaku]] did impress her a bit.<br />

<br />
==Spell Cards==<br />
From various descriptions of Yukari's spell cards, many of her danmaku consists of light attacks, concentrated spirit power (for her manjis according to ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'' and assuredly her butterflies in Sinister Spirits: "Double Black Death Butterfly"), or even just attacking with [[boundary|boundaries]] and [[gap]]s. Her ability to transport objects via gaps also allows her to use almost any physical object as danmaku, including road signs and even an abandoned runaway train. Attacking with her parasol is not out of the question, and she sometimes uses her shikigami [[Ran Yakumo]] and Ran's shikigami [[Chen]] as projectiles (that can fire danmaku of their own) for her spell cards. Some of the names and descriptions from ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' for her spell cards implies she's capable of attacking with metaphorical concepts.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*A silhouette of Yukari occupies the front of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s jewel case. Yukari also appears on the case of ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power OST]]''.<br />
*For some reason, Yukari's appearance in spell card 222 in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' is different from other characters. Instead of using her protrait from ''Imperishable Night'', a modified image from ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' was used (she has blue ribbons instead). What is more strange is that the background used in the [[spell card]], which is also from ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'', uses Yukari's original cut-in image with red ribbons, although the three [[Shoot the Bullet|scene]]-[[Impossible Spell Card|based]] [[Violet Detector|games]] she appears in also use this. Yukari's sprite in the three scene-based games she appears in also sports blue ribbons. <br />
*She is the only Phantasm boss in the whole of the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. Her status as "8th boss", however, is matched by [[Fujiwara no Mokou]] (stage 6B being stage 7 and Extra being stage 8 in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'''s game files), [[Komachi Onozuka]] and exceeded by [[Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu|Eiki Shiki]] (''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' having 9 stages); [[Reimu Hakurei]] can also become a stage 8 or 9 boss in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' (if playing as Komachi or Eiki respectively) or a stage 8 boss in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'' (if playing as [[Tenshi Hinanawi]]).<br />
*In ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'' and ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'' one of Yukari's spell card spawns a train to mow her opponent down. The graphic of the train is based on an actual existing train {{lang|ja|[[wikipedia:ja:長野電鉄3500系・3600系電車|長野電鉄木島線3500系]]}} ([[wikipedia:Nagano Electric Railway|Nagano Electric Railway]] Kijima line 3500 series), a train used to run in Nagano: [[ZUN]]'s homeland.<ref>[http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ぶらり廃駅下車の旅 {{lang|ja|ぶらり廃駅下車の旅 - ニコニコ大百科}}] the Nicopedia page of her spell card "Abandoned Line 'Aimless Journey to the Abandoned Station'" (Japanese).</ref><br />
*In [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]], Yukari has an alternate color palette that resembles [[Ran Yakumo]]'s color scheme, one that resembles [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s, another resembling [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]]'s with Ran and Chen resembling [[Youmu Konpaku]], and another that resembles [[Lunasa Prismriver]]'s.<br />
*Both Yukari and Ran's surname were "Suzukaze" in the trial version ver. 0.09a of [[PCB]].<ref>https://twitter.com/agagasoso/status/631132995148066817</ref><br />

八雲 紫(やくも・ゆかり)<br />
<br />
春になると目が覚めるすきま妖怪。<br/><br />
主に、あらゆる境界を操る程度の能力を持つ。<br />
<br />
幽々子とは旧知の仲であるが、別に幽霊ではない。幻想郷の中でも、もっとも辺境にひっそりと棲む妖怪である。ここから、博麗大結界を見つつ暮らしている。<br />
<br />
たまに幻想郷に人間が紛れ込むのも、紫が境界に揺らぎをつくったりするからである。人間は神隠しと呼ぶ現象も、結局神の仕業ではなく、この妖怪少女の仕業だと知ってしまったら、何の神秘性も失われる事だろう。<br />
<br />
紫は普段は余り動くことは無く、代わりに式神の藍を操り生活をしている。でも殆どが睡眠時間の為、寝ている間は藍はほったらかしで、何をしているか良く知らない。<br />
<br />
その式神の藍が何者かにやられた事を聞き、ちょっと驚いたが二度寝をした。<br />
<br />
ニ度寝から目を覚ましたとき、ようやく、あたり一面がすっかり春になっていたことに気が付いた。実は10日程も前から春になっていたのだが、そのことを寝る度に忘れ、起きるたびに驚いていたのだ。<br />
<br />
藍の修復が完了するまで、おちおち寝てもいられないなぁ、と思いつつ三度寝をする。<br />
<br />
そんなときに、今回の騒動で薄くなった幽明の境を修復して欲しいと幽々子から依頼を受ける。自分で弱くしておいて修復もへったくれも無いな、と思いつつ眠い目を擦り出発する。<br />
<br />
久しぶりに冥界に訪れた紫は、妙な賑わいぶりに不思議に思う。西行寺家はもっと静かじゃなかったか?と思ったが、幽々子の趣味が変ったんだろうと勝手に納得した。<br />
<br />
途中で庭師の妖夢に会い、詳しく事情を聞いた。妖夢の話し振りではどうやら酷い目に遭ったらしいが、紫にはどう聞いても自業自得にしか聴こえなかった。<br />
<br />
<br />
皆、あの妖怪桜に狂わされていただけの様に見える。あの桜は人の精気を吸いすぎている。常々危険だと思っていた。思ってはいたが、自分の力ではどうしようも無い事も分っていた。<br/><br />
紫は幽々子が生きていた頃から知っている。実は、幽々子が妖怪桜に封印されているのではなく、'''幽々子の亡骸が妖怪桜を'''封印している、という事も。<br />

'''Mastermind behind the Spiriting Away'''<br/><br />
'''Yukari Yakumo'''<br />
<br />
The [[youkai]] of [[boundary|boundaries]], who awakens at spring.<br/><br />
Mainly, she possesses the ability to manipulate all sorts of boundaries.<br />
<br />
She and [[Yuyuko Saigyouji|Yuyuko]] have known each other for a long time, but Yukari is not a [[Phantom|phantom]]. She lives in the remotest place in [[Gensokyo]]. Her lifestyle involves a lot of staring at the [[Hakurei Border]].<br />
<br />
When [[human]]s from the outer world wander into Gensokyo, it's all thanks to fluctuations in the boundary caused by Yukari. There is an enchanting element about the phenomenon which people like to call "Spirited Away"; if it is ever discovered that spiriting away is not the work of gods, but the meddling of a youkai girl, the term will lose all of its mystique.<br />
<br />
Yukari usually doesn't act on her own, preferring instead to have [[Ran Yakumo|Ran]] handle the details of daily life. But, since she is almost always asleep, she has no idea what Ran does while she sleeps.<br />
<br />
When she heard that Ran had been defeated by someone, she became mildly surprised before going back to sleep.<br />
<br />
After waking up from her nap, she finally noticed that spring had graced her place of residence. The truth is that spring had been around for the past 10 days, but she forgot it whenever she went to bed and woke up just as surprised the next time.<br />
<br />
She couldn't sleep carelessly until Ran fully recovered, but she opted to sleep on the problem.<br />
<br />
The next time she woke up, she received a request from Yuyuko asking her to restore the boundary between the world of the living and the [[Netherworld|world of the dead]]. It was a ridiculous request since Yuyuko was the one who weakened it to begin with, so Yukari rubbed the sleep from her eyes and set out for repairs.<br />
<br />
It had been quite a while since Yukari's last visit to the [[Netherworld]], and she was curious to see that it was bustling with excitement. She thought the Saigyouji family were more quiet, laid-back folks, but she shrugged and decided Yuyuko had just had a change in taste.<br />
<br />
She met the gardener, [[Youmu Konpaku|Youmu]], along the way and heard about the situation. Youmu admitted that they seemed to be in quite a mess, but it sounded like well-earned punishment to Yukari.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everyone always seemed to be bent out of shape about [[Saigyou Ayakashi|that youkai cherry tree]], and nothing else. Surely, it had drained the life out of so many humans. Yukari knew it was dangerous. However, she realized there was nothing she could do about it.<br />
<br />
Yukari had known Yuyuko since before her death. She also knew that it was ''not'' Yuyuko who was sealed by the Saigyou Ayakashi...<br />
<br />
:... but that it was ''Yuyuko's body that was sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi''.<br />

幻想郷の妖怪。文字通り妖しくて怪しい。幻想郷の境にある屋敷にすむと言うが、その場所は知られていない。何故か外の世界にも詳しい。<br/><br />
非常に胡散臭い。<br />
<br />
性格は理解不能だが、決して良い物ではないという所はは誰もが認める所である。出来る限りなら会いたくないと思われている。普段は霊夢位しかまともに相手をしてくれない。<br />
<br />
体術も、人間の基準とは異なる動きをする。速くもなく重くもない。<br/><br />
強いのか弱いのかすら計り知れない。遊ばれている様に見える紫の行動は、例え勝ったとしてもなんか腹立たしい。<br />
<br />
しかしながら、彼女ほど幻想郷と真摯に接し、幻想郷を愛している者もいない。<br />

'''Yukari Yakumo'''<br />
<br />
Species: [[Youkai]]<br/><br />
Location: Unknown<br/><br />
Ability: Manipulate boundaries<br />
<br />
A youkai living in [[Gensokyo]]. As these letters (妖怪) tell, she is dubious and suspicious. It's said that she lives in a mansion located at the edge of Gensokyo, but nobody knows where it really is. For some reason she knows a lot about the [[outside world]] too.<br/><br />
That makes her very suspicious.<br />
<br />
Her personality is hardly understandable, but everyone agrees that it's not something pleasant. Many people don't want to meet her, if possible. Usually, she doesn't attack anyone directly, except for who is equally strong as [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]].<br />
<br />
Her fighting style is completely different from a [[human]]'s measure. It's neither fast nor heavy-hitting. It is uncertain whether she is really tough or not. Her attitude makes you think as if you're being teased by her, which is really irritating even if you manage to defeat her.<br />
<br />
However, no one can match her in sincerely caring about Gensokyo, and loving it with all her heart.<br />

'''Youkai of Boundaries, Yukari Yakumo'''<br/><br />
A [[youkai]] living at the edge of [[Gensokyo]].<br/><br />
She possess the ability manipulate boundaries. It is uncertain how long she has been alive, but her existence at least predates the history of Gensokyo itself.<br/><br />
Her personality is hard to understand; unlike other long-lived entities, she displays none of the bitterness commonly associated with old age. She is difficult to approach, but that's due more to her deviousness than any uneasy feeling that people may have around her.<br/><br />
She owns one [[shikigami]], and lets her shikigami do all her daily chores for her. Yukari herself always leads an easy life. From [[Ran Yakumo|that shikigami]]'s perspective, it's like her master is holding her hostage, so it's quite maddening.<br/><br />
The danger and potency of the power to manipulate boundaries is beyond imagination. In order to wield it, you'd have to either be a somewhat-weird [[youkai]] like Yukari, or someone who can withstand the power's pressure.<br />
<br />
Her weapon is her [[shikigami]]. (Basically treated like a tool.)<br />
<br />
:''Notes''<br />
:She teams up with [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]] this time.<br />
:Normal speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.<br />
:As in daily life, she leaves all the work to her [[shikigami]]. Once locked on to a target, [[Ran Yakumo|her shikigami]] pursues and attacks it until either Yukari stops shooting or the target falls.<br />
:Be aware that you must move in front of an enemy to acquire a target lock.<br />
:Recommended for players who believe that a laid-back life is best.<br />

'''Yukari Yakumo'''<br />
<br />
Species: [[Youkai]]<br/><br />
Ability: Manipulating boundaries<br />
<br />
She lives somewhere on the boundary between [[Gensokyo]] and the outer world.<br />
Since most people can't see the border, no one is certain exactly where she lives. They know only that she does not live near the [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is also located on the boundary.<br />
<br />
Among the youkai in Gensokyo, she has lived ever since the ancient times and is very powerful.<br />
Nowadays, she is one of the few youkai that know a lot about Gensokyo.<br />
She is seen as devious, but that's mainly because she has low quality of a human, so others find her actions quite difficult to comprehend.<br />
She is also a dangerous youkai, with easily enough power to destroy all of Gensokyo if necessary.<br />

Since the underground youkai have built up a society separate from that of the youkai above ground, she doesn't seem to want to interfere. The sudden appearance of the vengeful spirits puzzled her. She didn't want it to turn into some major event, so she sent Reimu, who had relatively little influence on things, to investigate.<br />

<hr />
<div>==True Administrator?==<br />
The song has a prominent leitmotif from the moment the song starts. It's a part of the main melody.<br />
--[[User:SupremeExplosion|SupremeExplosion]] ([[User talk:SupremeExplosion|talk]]) 16:00, 25 April 2023 (UTC)<br />
==Included Songs==<br />
I'm not really sure about the inclusion of some of the songs here. Specifically, the pre-IN ones. While the title screen themes from both EoSD and PCB have a similar vibe, they lack the main melody. I don't know much of anything about music, but I'll try to explain. The main melody I'm talking about consists of 3 pairs of notes. I think the first pair is descending, the next ascending, and the last descending again. The songs from EoSD and PCB, on the other hand, have a completely different main melody consisting of 2 groups of 3 descending notes. Whether they're still similar enough to be considered part of this group of songs, I don't know, but it may be worth discussion. [[User:Flan27|Flan27]] ([[User talk:Flan27|talk]]) 04:32, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I think you should listen to the EoSD one more carefully. In the background, in the first 5 seconds, very faintly and quite fast, the exactly theme with those same 6 notes appear. Also, the ending theme of EoSD has exactly the same melody starting at 6s. I consider the PCB title theme to be an arrange - a few notes are shifted so it's not exactly the same though - this one is more up to debate [[User:MTSranger|MTSranger ☆]] ([[User talk:MTSranger|talk]]) 04:40, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Even the quick notes at the beginning of the EoSD title theme sounds like 2 sets of 3 descending notes to me, but on the other hand the EoSD ending most definitely has the melody I'm talking about. (From the very beginning, though.) After listening to it again, I can see how the PCB title theme is similar to the later songs, although a bit different. I guess if anything, it's just the EoSD title theme where I can't hear it at all. [[User:Flan27|Flan27]] ([[User talk:Flan27|talk]]) 04:49, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Okay, so after thinking through things a bit more, the EoSD ending them is an arrange of the title theme, so it seems like everything's connected. It's confusing with all these earlier songs because they're so different from one another, whereas the songs in later games stick much more closely to the same melody. IN was really a major turning point in that respect. I think it's important to keep that comment about IN being widely considered to be the first, it really isn't just speculation. Or perhaps better yet we should put in a tidbit about it being a turning point for the song becoming more consistent. [[User:Flan27|Flan27]] ([[User talk:Flan27|talk]]) 05:25, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: I know IN is considered "first" by many even if technically incorrect. (Chronologically it's Seihou or EoSD depending on your criteria. If you consider the one from Akyu's Untouched Scores part of HRtP because everything else in that album is, then that should be considered the "original".) The really obvious ones are IN, PoFV, SA, and UFO so I guess you *could* say that IN is the first one that blares it out in your face. I've put a note back - what do you think of it?<br />
<br />
:: For reference here's a small part of music score extracted from midi of the EoSD title theme: http://puu.sh/43lhs.png clearly showing a shifted version of the theme (the defining characteristic is these 6 notes: C - F - G - B♭ - G - F, although usually in a different scale). I listened to the title theme again and I think the first 20 seconds alone repeated those 6 notes enough times for it to be pretty clear even if not obvious at first.<br />
<br />
:: As to the removal of PCB ending theme. I'm going by the standard that anything mentioned needs to include these 6 notes in sequence or something that sounds extremely similar. I don't think PCB ending has enough similarity. [[User:MTSranger|MTSranger ☆]] ([[User talk:MTSranger|talk]]) 05:43, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Zun almost certainly would've mentioned in his music comment of PCB's ending theme that it's an arrange of the title theme, if it was meant to be. The fact that he didn't mention that despite him doing so with every other ending theme arranged from a title theme is kind of a killing blow for the song's inclusion here. So it's good that you removed it.<br />
<br />
:::And um, well, as for my comment about EoSD's title theme before, it's pretty embarrassing, but I see it now. It really does have the same notes, but it just sounds different to me. Is it the timing of the notes or something? Or am I just crazy? v_v It really does sound like 2 sets of 3 notes instead of 3 sets of 2 notes. Anyways, with that said, I don't know what to think about IN's comment anymore. [[User:Flan27|Flan27]] ([[User talk:Flan27|talk]]) 06:40, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::You aren't crazy. =) It's played to a different beat - so it's two triplets instead of three doublets. Fooled me for a bit too... [[User:MTSranger|MTSranger ☆]] ([[User talk:MTSranger|talk]]) 18:29, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I have a complete list of all the tracks which uses this as its main melody, of partially in between (like with Eirin's theme). Mind if I add them? ☢ [[User:Quwanti|Quwanti]] 11:26, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks for the addition! Eirin's theme was a good catch - it's not partial at all; those six notes appear verbatim multiple times late in the track. Same as a few others you've added. I think that those six notes or something that's really really similar has to be in it for it to count, and therefore I've removed these six tracks:<br />
<br />
::*The nameless track of Double Spoiler<br />
::*"Shinkirou Orchestra", intro theme of Hopeless Masquerade<br />
::*"Maiden's Capriccio ~ Dream Battle", Reimu Hakurei's theme in Imperishable Night<br />
::*"The Earth Spirits' Homecoming", ending theme of Subterranean Animism <br />
::*"A Land Resplendent With Nature's Beauty", track 2 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity vol. 1<br />
::*"Star Voyage 2008", track 3 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity vol. 1<br />
<br />
::I listened to those tracks and can't seem to hear those six notes in sequence. Maybe you can point out where they occur? Or maybe we can discuss whether we should include "arranges" of that theme - the list might get too bloated though if we include anything that sounds sorta like it. [[User:MTSranger|MTSranger ☆]] ([[User talk:MTSranger|talk]]) 18:20, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::Sure.<br />
::*<s>The nameless track of Double Spoiler</s> - Somewhat judged too fast on that one, should not be included<br />
::*"Shinkirou Orchestra", intro theme of Hopeless Masquerade - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1l0p9Ro1uA It's the main melody]. I suppose you listened to the title screen theme instead of the intro theme, because the title screen doesn't include it.<br />
::*All the others. When I made that list waaay back I made sure the melody was included in the track, but I can't hear it anymore. Oh well~ ☢ [[User:Quwanti|Quwanti]] 18:45, 16 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::I already corroborated all the list songs but I still can't hear it in ''Ame-no-Torifune Shrine''... perhaps someone could say me the exactly part were the melody starts. Thanks. Oh and also I added one more.--[[User:Camilo113|Camilo113]] ([[User talk:Camilo113|talk]]) 17:44, 17 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::Well ''Ame-no-Torifune Shrine'' is somewhat debatable because the sequence starting at 0:44 is missing the last note and the rhythm is different. I left it in there because it's not an obvious one for deletion. What do you think? Should we keep it? [[User:MTSranger|MTSranger ☆]] ([[User talk:MTSranger|talk]]) 17:52, 17 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::So you were refering to that part... well, as you said it's missing the last note and it's a '''''completely''''' different rhythm; it doesn't really sound like Theme of Eastern Story for me. I think we should delete it. --[[User:Camilo113|Camilo113]] ([[User talk:Camilo113|talk]]) 18:03, 17 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::::Well, some of the ones you added have extra notes in between for the phrases that supposedly match. If we are going to include them I think we should separate them out because imo it's inconsistent if we delete ones missing notes but keep ones with extra notes in between (i.e. Benben's theme). This will also get rid of the thorny issue that PCB title theme is not exactly "Theme of Eastern Story" because a few notes are shifted higher even if it sounds quite similar. Same for PCB ending. I've done that for the page now. What do you think? [[User:MTSranger|MTSranger ☆]] ([[User talk:MTSranger|talk]]) 07:19, 19 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
:I think the melody is also present in ''The Exaggerated Castle Keep'' (around [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9l_Fznq4_g&t=1m12s here]), but it might just be a similar melody. --[[User:Wymar|Wymar]] ([[User talk:Wymar|talk]]) 18:20, 20 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
::It's a similar melody but somewhat different (exactly the same as the DDC ending theme). I've added it in for now, but imo it's really debatable. Also, I've moved PCB title theme back to the "modified" portion. I've transcribed the few variations in the list we've seen so far:<br />
[[File:ThemeOfEasternStoryVariations.png|framed|center]]<br />
<br />
::You can listen to them at http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/720ba27d9c8889be100d7ec5e4cdbf6fd93e6b0a<br />
::I think anything other than the first one in the above image should be in the "modified form" section if we want to keep them. [[User:MTSranger|MTSranger ☆]] ([[User talk:MTSranger|talk]]) 04:30, 21 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::After reviewing the original versions of all the songs currently on the page except for ''Ame-no-Torifune Shrine'' and the intro sequences of LLS and MS, my verdict is: <br />
:::*PCB Title theme - likely a slightly modified version, since ZUN stated this song was "strongly influenced from the previous <nowiki>[</nowiki>game's title theme<nowiki>]</nowiki>"<br />
:::*PCB Ending theme - probably another modified version<br />
:::*Ame-no-Torifune Shrine - based on the clip I'd say this could be a modified version of the theme (most evident when the original is played at a much slower tempo or if all the eighth notes are replaced with half notes)<br />
:::*Illusionary Joururi - I'm pretty sure this is almost identical to the original<br />
:::*The Exaggerated Castle Keep & Magical Power of the Mallet - I wouldn't say these are recognizable rearranges of the theme, mostly because they emphasize different notes compared to the original (By the way, this sequence of notes can also be heard in Miko's theme)<br />
:::::Indeed, I can name [[Lyrics:_星霜輪廻~Repeat~|at least one rearrange]] which emphasizes the similarity. --[[User:Wymar|Wymar]] ([[User talk:Wymar|talk]]) 22:14, 21 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::I'd also like to point out that ''Led On by a Cow to Visit Zenkou Temple'' actually uses the PCB title theme version of the theme (unless the original version is present and I just didn't notice it). [[User:IbarakiIbuki|Ibaraki Ibuki]] ([[User talk:IbarakiIbuki|talk]]) 21:36, 21 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::Good catch. It is the PCB version. Also Illusionary Joururi (1:52) is identical to original. My mistake. Fixed that.<br />
::::Also, I'm moving the ZUN Soft sequence to the last section. I've carefully listened and transcribed it and it's not the same. It's probably most similar to PCB title theme except it's not exactly that either.<br />
::::Audio of the relevant parts: http://puu.sh/47EyN.mp3 <br />
::::My transcription: http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/b94403acc99544f9f5df77ad3d5bbcf8b6e5f16d<br />

<br />
Please stop adding little 2 second snippets from wbawc to the table. Just because there's a vague arpeggio or line moving upwards does *not* mean it's TOES (no, putting 'heavily modified' next to it doesn't make it right). Please ask someone at least somewhat musically trained to weight in before guessing, it's pretty clear to anyone musically trained that only title and the two s6 themes have TOES as an intentional motif.<br />
--[[User:Williewillus|Williewillus]] ([[User talk:Williewillus|talk]]) 02:38, 4 October 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Consider Yachie's theme, since the notes used are the same as the ToES portion of The Shining Needle Castle Sinking in the Air, and are not a one-off instance.

That book is riddled with errors and outdated information. Saki is just called a "Kurokoma" in the omake.txt of WBaWC. Likewise, Yachie is only called a Jidiao. Yachie and Saki are most definitely beast spirits in the game and treated as such. So unless this page is for beast spirits too, don't add them here.</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Beast youkai''' ({{lang|ja|妖獣}}, ''Youjuu''; {{lang|ja|魔獣}}, ''Majuu'') are [[animal]]s that have become [[youkai]]. <br />
<br />
==Beast Youkai in Touhou==<br />
'''Beast youkai''' are animals with "too much power and wisdom" (as defined in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Beast|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'') and may act as leaders to their non-youkai counterparts or live alongside them. (In the case of [[Tewi Inaba]] or [[Aya Shameimaru]], they are very protective of their kind despite the latter treating them as a tool)<ref>[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]: [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Chen|Chen]]</ref> Some are considered to be a threat to [[human]]s as they may have a taste for human flesh. Youkai variants of humans like [[magician]]s can also pose an average level of threat to regular humans as they steal things from livestock to children. While beast youkai are intelligent enough to communicate with humans, they appear to still be primitive in nature; youkai [[crow]]s like [[tengu]] however, are more advanced compared to the humans of Gensokyo. <ref>[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]: [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Tengu|Tengu]]</ref><br />
<br />
[[Hieda no Akyuu]]'s classifications of beast youkai refer only to the mammal youkai. Youkai like [[Wriggle Nightbug]] and [[Mystia Lorelei]] are not seen as such to Akyuu likely because of the older way of thinking that only mammals are animals while humans are not mammals but an unique existence.<br />
<br />
According to [[Kasen Ibaraki]] in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' chapter 16, once an animal has become a youkai, it is unable to return to normal.<br />
<br />
;General Characteristics<br />
According to ''Perfect Memento'', some beast youkai can use sorcery, but they are generally physically-oriented. They can have various characteristics such as great strength and speed, or enhanced senses. Their existence is also less spiritual than that of normal youkai, and because of this they are more resistent to spiritual attacks, but it is also harder for them to restore if their bodies are destroyed.<br />
The number of tails of a youkai beast can indicate the amount of power they posses, and more tails generally means more youkai power.<br />

<hr />
<div>The {{nihongo|'''Hourai Elixir'''|蓬莱の薬|Hourai no Kusuri}} was created by [[Eirin Yagokoro]] using [[Kaguya Houraisan]]'s power of the manipulation of eternity. Anyone who drinks this forbidden elixir will cease to age, never become ill, and will never be able to die. One will be as frail and vulnerable as before, but every injury shall cease; critical injuries will be healed in a matter of days. Complete destruction results in complete restoration.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
The Hourai Elixir is permanent. According to [[Fujiwara no Mokou]], the first taste of the medicine makes the drinker incapable of growing up or aging. The second taste makes them incapable of becoming ill. The third taste makes one completely immortal to the truest sense. The ingredients of the elixir are known only by [[Eirin Yagokoro]], who is suggested to be Omoikane, a [[god]] of wisdom and intelligence. Reportedly, the ingredients of the elixir remain in the liver of whomever drinks it. Eating the raw liver of an immortal is said to grant the same immortality as drinking the elixir, though it will not deprive one from their own because they have already been rendered deathless.<br />
<br />
Because Eirin made the elixir the true elixir of immortality, she probably also made it irreversible, making its effects perfectly permanent. In [[Imperishable Night/Translation/Magic Team's Extra|her confrontation]] with Mokou, [[Alice Margatroid]] points out that the soul is made invincible, forcing them to live out their existence forever. Immortality unties the soul from the physical body, which is just recreated as necessary, although the subject still retains all bodily sensations and functions. In this sense one is separated from the cycle of life and death.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
In the past, this elixir has been used by Lunarians to test influential [[human]]s or to cause disturbances on Earth.<ref>[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fourth Chapter]]</ref> Eirin notes<ref>[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter]]</ref> that a Lunarian taking the elixir makes them [[Impurity|impure]] due to being tempted by the removal of death and thus associating themselves with it. The backstory of the Hourai Elixir is that Eirin made the medicine on Kaguya's request to drink it, resulting in her exile from the Moon. According to [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter|the first chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'', Eirin felt guilt over Kaguya's exile, and when the time came to bring Kaguya back to the Moon, Eirin deceived the Moon's emissaries and fled back to the Earth with Kaguya. With this tied to the traditional story of [[Kaguya-hime]], Kaguya apparently left the elixir to the old bamboo cutter who raised her and the emperor whose heart she'd stolen before she left to the Moon, resulting in Mokou's backstory in [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fourth Chapter|the fourth chapter]] of ''Cage in Lunatic Runagate''. There is no information as to where the elixir is presently or even if there is any left.<br />
<br />
==Immortals==<br />
Since this elixir is forbidden on the [[Moon]], and only Eirin is known to be capable of manufacturing it, and even then only with the help of [[Kaguya Houraisan]]'s manipulation of eternity, it is understandably rare. Only four people are confirmed to have ever drunk it:<br />
*[[Chang'e]]<br />
*[[Kaguya Houraisan]]<br />
*[[Eirin Yagokoro]]<br />
*[[Fujiwara no Mokou]]<br />

{{nihongo|'''Eirin Yagokoro'''|八意 永琳|Yagokoro Eirin}} is one of the antagonists of [[Imperishable Night]]. She's a medical genius from the [[Moon]], able to create even the [[Hourai Elixir]] with the help of Kaguya's power, the manipulation of eternity. She is living in exile in [[Gensokyo]] after choosing to stay with and devote herself to [[Kaguya Houraisan]] on Earth rather than take her back to the Moon. She was a very well-known figure on the Moon, having not only been instrumental in the founding of Lunar society with [[Lord Tsukuyomi]], but also being its leading medical mind and the person in charge of the Moon's emissaries to the Earth.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
She first appeared as the Alternative Final Boss in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', and she was stage 9 target in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]''. She is also involved in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Eirin is an enigmatic person surrounded by many mysteries and her answers regarding the mysteries about her are incoherent replies. She is generally a fairly pleasant person and is devoted to serving her ally, Kaguya, but she does not suffer fools gladly, and because of her incredibly high intelligence, she can come across as conceited, impatient and condescending at times to those not sharp enough to follow her explanations immediately. However, she also seems to lack general common sense, most likely due to her not living with humans. [[File:GoMIllus-Eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in [[The Grimoire of Marisa]].]]<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Making any drug<br />
She can make all sorts of drug/medicines, from medicine for the ordinary cold to drugs that can manipulate dreams. As one would expect, she is not able to make medicines that would require a physically impossible process in order to produce, nor can she make the medicine if she does not have the ingredients. Although she did make the [[Hourai Elixir]], she made it using Kaguya's ability.<br />
<br />
;Natural Genius<br />
Eirin is said to be highly intelligent and considers other people to be less smart than her. Furthermore, the Yagokoro family is said to be a line of medicinal geniuses and even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. Due to this, Eirin is rarely understood by others.<br />
<br />
;Immortality<br />
It is not specified in her profile, but Eirin reveals to Yuyuko in the Netherworld Team's Good Ending of [[Imperishable Night]] that she was going to prepare the medicine made with Kaguya's ability, in order to not die. Yuyuko's response and further narration cement that this is referring to Eirin having become immortal, from the Hourai Elixir.<br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
Aside from her medical knowledge, Eirin seems to be very skilled in various forms of [[magic]]. For instance, in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', she sealed the whole Earth preventing anything or anyone from reaching or leaving it. Additionally, she replaced the real Moon with a fake one that was able to mislead the heroines with an illusion. According to herself, doing this was "hardly" her most powerful spell, meaning that she is probably able to use other types of sorcery that are far stronger than this<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'' - Barrier Team's Scenario. <br /><br />
'''Reisen:''' ''Ah, you're talking about the moon? That's my master Eirin's most powerful spell. It makes this Earth into a giant, sealed chamber. Do you get it now?''<br /><br />
<br />
'''Eirin:''' ''Also, about that full moon-erasing spell. It's hardly my most powerful one.''</ref>.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
After the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin has begun using her knowledge of medicine to act as Gensokyo's premier pharmacist, selling medicines at [[Eientei]] ranging from sleep aids to various cures. You can visit her like you visit a normal doctor, and she can even prescribe medicine for obscure illnesses. Her medicines are well known to work with no side effects, though youkai medicine and human medicine must never be mixed together. It's reasonable to believe her medicines come from the Moon or are developed with Lunar technology. The medicine is not only effective, but fairly priced. Fortunately, Eirin is not fussy about payment; she will most likely wait until you pay her. Still, it is believed that Eirin may have another reason for starting this business other than profit.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
;Bow and Arrow<br />
Eirin wields a bow and arrow. Presumably, she uses it for spellcards.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
A long time ago, Eirin was the Sage of the [[Moon]]; with her high intelligence and the aid of the former Princess of the Moon, Kaguya, she created the [[Hourai Elixir]] and gave it to her. As a result, Kaguya was exiled to Earth as a punishment for drinking the elixir. A few years later, Kaguya had been allowed to return to the moon and, along with other Lunarians, Eirin was sent to Earth as an emissary from the Moon. Eirin felt guilty because she herself wasn't punished even though she was the one who made the elixir. Her desire for redemption was so strong that she was ready to do anything for Kaguya, and so she killed all the other emissaries and decided to live on Earth with Kaguya as her own punishment.<br />
<br />
After living a few hundred years hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost|Bamboo Forest]] of [[Gensokyo]], her whereabouts were discovered by the Moon, and led to the [[Imperishable Night|Eternal Night Incident]], but at the time the incident was resolved, she came to know that even if she did not try to hide the Moon, the Lunar Emissaries wouldn't be able to come for Reisen. She has been living as a resident of Gensokyo ever since.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
Eirin is likely based on {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Ame no Yagokoro Omoikane no Mikoto]]|天八意思兼命}}, the god who thought of the plan to lure [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] out of hiding. This can be seen by her [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 6A#Spell Card 132|spell card]], and by the correlation between Eirin's sharp intellect and Omoikane's. (Takami-Musubi is also very strongly associated with intellectual facilities.) The interrelationships of various lunar figures presents a more interesting situation. Eirin is distantly related to the Watatsuki sisters, both based on mythology. In the [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third Chapter|third chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'', [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] mentions that Eirin's participation was critical to the founding of the lunar capital, and that she was older even than Tsukuyomi. Omoikane is the son of Takami-Musubi, one of the great gods that summoned Izanagi and Izanami into existence, but it's unclear whether Omoikane was born before the creation of the Japanese islands, which also saw the births of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. Regardless of whether she is "meant to be" Omoikane, Eirin clearly draws on Omoikane in many ways.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Eirin Yagokoro''|八意 永琳}}. The characters for {{nihongo||八意|Yagokoro}} literally means "eight minds" and {{nihongo||永琳|Eirin}}, "eternal jewel". The number 8 in Japanese culture signifies the sacred and the infinite, and is often used indefinitely to mean "many" or "countless" (as in the [[Eight Million Gods]]). ''Gokoro'' is an ancient reading for {{lang|ja|意}}, which could indicate something about heart or mind. So her whole name could mean "Intelligence of eternally clear brightness over infinitely extended area", referring her to be the "Mind of [[God]]". It is revealed in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' that "Eirin" is merely her earth name, her true [[Lunarian]] first name being unpronounceable to the [[impurity|impure]] earthling tongue. Regardless of "Yagokoro" in both cases, she is strongly implied to be [[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Omoikane]].<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Eirin has dark grey eyes, long silver hair, has a large braid on her back and carries a strange pair of bow and arrow. Her clothing is red and blue and is covered with constellation patterns. She also wears something similar to a nurse's cap.<br />
<br />
Eirin's clothing has [[wikipedia:I Ching|trigrams]] (broken and solid Yin/Yang lines) lining the bottom hem. They appear to be the complete set of trigrams used in [[wikipedia:Feng shui|Feng Shui]], and match the set of trigrams on the [[Hakkero]].<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Imperishable Night''<br />
[[File:Th08EirinSprite.png|frame|Eirin's sprite in ''IN'']]<br />
During the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin attempted to seal the passage between the Earth and [[Moon]], which opens every full moon, by casting a spell that would seal the Earth inside a chamber (similar to a Chinese folktale about a paradise found inside a pot). She only meant to do this to protect both Kaguya and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba|Reisen]] so that the emissaries coming from the Moon wouldn't be able to reach them, but this did not go unnoticed by the various [[Youkai]] in Gensokyo who enjoy the moonlight.<br />

;''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''<br />
Eirin is involved in the backstory of ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. The [[Moon]] habitants decided to make an invasion to Gensokyo with the intent of [[Purity|purifying]] it. [[Moon rabbit]]s and mechanical spiders are razing the place and leaving a lifeless Earth. Gensokyo's [[human]]s can't fight by themselves, because a simple error means death, and it also looks like the youkai for some reason can't interfere with the purification, but Eirin planned ahead for such event and made a medicine that allows the user to see the close future. She sends Reisen to give the medicine to [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], and [[Sanae Kochiya]] and resolve the incident. This medicine is the tool that allows the Pointdevice gameplay mode, in which the player cannot get hit once.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
[[File:Th135Eirin.png|frame|Eirin in ''HM'']]<br />
;''Shoot the Bullet''<br />
In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] encountered Eirin on [[stage]] 9 and took photos of her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Eirin made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Human Village]] stage. She is seen sitting on a bench with [[Tewi Inaba]], [[Kaguya Houraisan]] and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] drinking something.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red<br />
{{main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Eirin|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Eirin}}<br />
Eirin has created a new medicine called the Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees that one will have a pleasant dream. She says that since the youkai of Gensokyo rarely suffer from physical ailments, she began developing medicine for spiritual ailments instead. This particular medicine is ancient, but humans who took it in the past often found their dreams too enjoyable and never returned from the dream world, so Eirin has weakened its potency and made it safe to use. She also has a variety which causes nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.<br />
<br />
In the interview, Eirin remarks that only a few people have come to buy the pill, even though it was a featured article in Aya's newspaper. Aya admits she doesn't have many readers. She is curious who is buying the medicine; Eirin is initially reluctant to say, but then reveals that it was [[Alice Margatroid]]. Aya mentions that she tried the pill herself, but found the dream uninteresting. Eirin suggests that she try Kochoumugan Nightmare Type (a [[Shoot the Bullet/Spell Cards/Level 9#Spell Card 64|scene]] in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'').<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Kaguya Houraisan]]<br />
Kaguya is Eirin's master and friend. She made the Hourai Elixir for Kaguya which resulted in her banishment. Feeling regretful, when she was sent to Earth to bring her back on the Moon, she killed the other emissaries and helped Kaguya with hiding herself. Now she serves Kaguya faithfully at Eientei.<br />
<br />
;[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]<br />
Eirin's servant. Eirin has employed Reisen's telepathic abilities to gain intelligence on the Lunar capital. She also sends Reisen to the Human Village to sell her medicine.<br />
<br />
;[[Tewi Inaba]]<br />
Tewi made a deal with Eirin to defend Eientei in exchange for Eirin imparting her knowledge to the rabbits. Thus Eirin is an ally, employer and teacher to Tewi and Tewi appropriately addresses her as Master. Eirin realizes Tewi's importance to Eientei due to her control over the rabbits and despite Tewi's pranks, knows that Tewi is there whenever they really need her, should the circumstance arise.<br />
<br />
;[[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] & [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]]<br />
Eirin was a teacher to both Toyohime and Yorihime. They both respect Eirin with much admiration even after Eirin became a fugitive. They both are also distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son<ref name="CiLR1">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter]]</ref>),<br />
<br />
;[[Lord Tsukuyomi]]<br />
Not much was known how close they are, however they both founded the lunar capital together, so they could have been in good terms. It's unknown if their relationship remains the same after Eirin's desertion.<br />
<br />
;[[Medicine Melancholy]]<br />
After learning of Medicine from Reisen, Eirin goes to the Hill of the Nameless to meet her. Eirin takes an interest of her thanks to her poison abilities.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Alice Margatroid]] <br />
Alice regularly purchases the Butterfly Dream Pill from Eirin.<br />
<br />
;[[Sakuya Izayoi]] <br />
According to Eirin's profile, Eirin was very surprised to see Sakuya during the events of Imperishable Night. Though what relationship they have are unknown since only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Eirin's profile states that she killed the other messengers sent with her. Kaguya's profile describes these messengers as "emissaries". Later official works would state that moon [[rabbit]]s are trained as lunar emissaries, and it is unconfirmed if any of the emissaries were Lunarians. Given that rabbits are viewed merely as tools by the Lunarians, this may explain why the severity of murdering the other emissaries isn't emphasized whenever Eirin's crime of helping the princess comes up. Eirin has also made it clear in both [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]] and chapter 2 in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]] that she has no qualms with killing moon rabbits should situation make her go to such lengths.<br />
*Eirin has a [[Spell Card]] named "Apollo 13" after the [[wikipedia:Apollo 13|aborted third American moon mission]] launched in April 1970. The spell card's spell sign is "Curse of the Heavens", and seems to imply that it was Lunarian magic, not mechanical failure, that critically damaged the spacecraft and forced it to abandon its lunar landing so as to forestall the "invasion". It's also stated that the Lunarians know why the number 13 is cursed. Eirin in ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' reveals that the Apollo series failed because the sun ("Apollo") is incompatible with the back side of the moon, and [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Second Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate's 2nd chapter]] mentions Lunarian technology while talking about the humans' failure to establish a base on the moon, implying Lunarian sabotage.<br />
*Eirin had recently developed a medicine called Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees the person who takes it will have a pleasant dream once they fall asleep. The medicine was featured in an article in the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]], but still remains fairly unpopular (mostly due to the fact that the paper itself isn't too popular). There is one customer, [[Alice Margatroid]], who has returned numerous times to purchase the medicine however, although the reasons why were never disclosed.<br />
*In Tibetan Buddhism, the bow held in the right hand with an arrow in the left (as Eirin holds them) is a symbol of wisdom as a means of projecting method or skillful means.<br />
*The bow and the arrow are a possible reference to the huntress and Greek moon goddess Artemis (sister of Apollo; In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', ZUN made a joke about Apollo being the sun god, so he surely knows about Artemis). Artemis (or her bow) sometimes represents the crescent moon, symbol of full maturity in the cycle of life (it suits Eirin very well).<br />
**Artemis is often assimilated to Selene (the personification of the moon), which is the root of Selenium, a non-metal antioxidant sometimes used as a medicine but toxic in large quantity to human beings. Antioxidants are known to improve life expectancy.<br />
**Ursa Major, one of the constellations on Eirin's clothes, was originally Callisto, a servant of Artemis.<br />
**It is also confirmed that ZUN is aware of the bow representing the crescent moon. In [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fifth Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate Chapter 5]], Yukari is unable to see the crescent moon due to a storm, and wonders if it's because there is no one on the moon who wields a bow anymore.<br />
*In Chinese mythology, Houyi was a god of archery banished from heaven. He was married to [[Chang'e]], Kaguya's Chinese equivalent. According to legends, he received the last two immortal elixirs from Xi Wangmu of Kunlun mountains in the west. Chang'e drank them both, who then ascended to the moon.<br />

'''Eirin Yagokoro'''<br />
<br />
Species: [[Lunarian]]<br /><br />
Abilities: Making any drug. Natural Genius.<br />
<br />
She's a person from the [[moon]]. That means she's an alien. She has lived on the Earth for a long time. Her relationship with [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] dates back to their days on the moon.<br />
<br />
The Yagokoro family is a line of medicinal geniuses that have been living on the moon for some time. Even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. She is much smarter than humans, which makes her rarely understood.<br />
<br />
In truth, she has power well beyond that of Kaguya's. She saves her power and maintains it at a lower level out of respect for Kaguya.<br />
<br />
Long ago, Eirin was one of a party of messengers who were sent to bring [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] back to the moon; the crime for which she was exiled to Earth had been forgiven. For some reason, she helped Kaguya kill all the other messengers instead. To ensure that the earthlings who lived with Kaguya would remain silent, she bribed them with the Hourai Elixir. The elixir had the power to make people immortal. None of those earthlings consumed the elixir, however, and died shortly afterwards.<br />
<br />
It was later discovered that they were murdered.<br />
<br />
More detail is available in [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]]'s profile.<br />
<br />
Eirin is very surprised to see [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]], but only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Eirin Yagokoro'''|八意 永琳|Yagokoro Eirin}} is one of the antagonists of [[Imperishable Night]]. She's a medical genius from the [[Moon]], able to create even the [[Hourai Elixir]] with the help of Kaguya's power, the manipulation of eternity. She is living in exile in [[Gensokyo]] after choosing to stay with and devote herself to [[Kaguya Houraisan]] on Earth rather than take her back to the Moon. She was a very well-known figure on the Moon, having not only been instrumental in the founding of Lunar society with [[Lord Tsukuyomi]], but also being its leading medical mind and the person in charge of the Moon's emissaries to the Earth.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
She first appeared as the Alternative Final Boss in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', and she was stage 9 target in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]''. She is also involved in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Eirin is an enigmatic person surrounded by many mysteries and her answers regarding the mysteries about her are incoherent replies. She is generally a fairly pleasant person and is devoted to serving her ally, Kaguya, but she does not suffer fools gladly, and because of her incredibly high intelligence, she can come across as conceited, impatient and condescending at times to those not sharp enough to follow her explanations immediately. However, she also seems to lack general common sense, most likely due to her not living with humans. [[File:GoMIllus-Eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in [[The Grimoire of Marisa]].]]<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Making any drug<br />
She can make all sorts of drug/medicines, from medicine for the ordinary cold to drugs that can manipulate dreams. As one would expect, she is not able to make medicines that would require a physically impossible process in order to produce, nor can she make the medicine if she does not have the ingredients. Although she did make the [[Hourai Elixir]], she made it using Kaguya's ability.<br />
<br />
;Natural Genius<br />
Eirin is said to be highly intelligent and considers other people to be less smart than her. Furthermore, the Yagokoro family is said to be a line of medicinal geniuses and even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. Due to this, Eirin is rarely understood by others.<br />
<br />
;Immortality<br />
It is not specified in her profile, but Eirin reveals to Yuyuko in the Netherworld Team's Good Ending of [[Imperishable Night]] that she was going to prepare the medicine made with Kaguya's ability, in order to not die. Yuyuko's response and further narration cement that this is referring to Eirin having become immortal, from the Hourai Elixir.<br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
Aside from her medical knowledge, Eirin seems to be very skilled in various forms of [[magic]]. For instance, in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', she sealed the whole Earth preventing anything or anyone from reaching or leaving it. Additionally, she replaced the real Moon with a fake one that was able to mislead the heroines with an illusion. According to herself, doing this was "hardly" her most powerful spell, meaning that she is probably able to use other types of sorcery that are far stronger than this<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'' - Barrier Team's Scenario. <br /><br />
'''Reisen:''' ''Ah, you're talking about the moon? That's my master Eirin's most powerful spell. It makes this Earth into a giant, sealed chamber. Do you get it now?''<br /><br />
<br />
'''Eirin:''' ''Also, about that full moon-erasing spell. It's hardly my most powerful one.''</ref>.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
After the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin has begun using her knowledge of medicine to act as Gensokyo's premier pharmacist, selling medicines at [[Eientei]] ranging from sleep aids to various cures. You can visit her like you visit a normal doctor, and she can even prescribe medicine for obscure illnesses. Her medicines are well known to work with no side effects, though youkai medicine and human medicine must never be mixed together. It's reasonable to believe her medicines come from the Moon or are developed with Lunar technology. The medicine is not only effective, but fairly priced. Fortunately, Eirin is not fussy about payment; she will most likely wait until you pay her. Still, it is believed that Eirin may have another reason for starting this business other than profit.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
;Bow and Arrow<br />
Eirin wields a bow and arrow. Presumably, she uses it for spellcards.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
A long time ago, Eirin was the Sage of the [[Moon]]; with her high intelligence and the aid of the former Princess of the Moon, Kaguya, she created the [[Hourai Elixir]] and gave it to her. As a result, Kaguya was exiled to Earth as a punishment for drinking the elixir. A few years later, Kaguya had been allowed to return to the moon and, along with other Lunarians, Eirin was sent to Earth as an emissary from the Moon. Eirin felt guilty because she herself wasn't punished even though she was the one who made the elixir. Her desire for redemption was so strong that she was ready to do anything for Kaguya, and so she killed all the other emissaries and decided to live on Earth with Kaguya as her own punishment.<br />
<br />
After living a few hundred years hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost|Bamboo Forest]] of [[Gensokyo]], her whereabouts were discovered by the Moon, and led to the [[Imperishable Night|Eternal Night Incident]], but at the time the incident was resolved, she came to know that even if she did not try to hide the Moon, the Lunar Emissaries wouldn't be able to come for Reisen. She has been living as a resident of Gensokyo ever since.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
Eirin might be based on {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Ame no Yagokoro Omoikane no Mikoto]]|天八意思兼命}}, the god who thought of the plan to lure [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] out of hiding. This can be seen by her [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 6A#Spell Card 132|spell card]], and by the correlation between Eirin's sharp intellect and Omoikane's. (Takami-Musubi is also very strongly associated with intellectual facilities.) The interrelationships of various lunar figures presents a more interesting situation. Eirin is distantly related to the Watatsuki sisters, both based on mythology. In the [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third Chapter|third chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'', [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] mentions that Eirin's participation was critical to the founding of the lunar capital, and that she was older even than Tsukuyomi. Omoikane is the son of Takami-Musubi, one of the great gods that summoned Izanagi and Izanami into existence, but it's unclear whether Omoikane was born before the creation of the Japanese islands, which also saw the births of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. Regardless of whether she is "meant to be" Omoikane, Eirin clearly draws on Omoikane in many ways.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Eirin Yagokoro''|八意 永琳}}. The characters for {{nihongo||八意|Yagokoro}} literally means "eight minds" and {{nihongo||永琳|Eirin}}, "eternal jewel". The number 8 in Japanese culture signifies the sacred and the infinite, and is often used indefinitely to mean "many" or "countless" (as in the [[Eight Million Gods]]). ''Gokoro'' is an ancient reading for {{lang|ja|意}}, which could indicate something about heart or mind. So her whole name could mean "Intelligence of eternally clear brightness over infinitely extended area", referring her to be the "Mind of [[God]]". It is revealed in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' that "Eirin" is merely her earth name, her true [[Lunarian]] first name being unpronounceable to the [[impurity|impure]] earthling tongue. Regardless of "Yagokoro" in both cases, she is strongly implied to be [[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Omoikane]].<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Eirin has dark grey eyes, long silver hair, has a large braid on her back and carries a strange pair of bow and arrow. Her clothing is red and blue and is covered with constellation patterns. She also wears something similar to a nurse's cap.<br />
<br />
Eirin's clothing has [[wikipedia:I Ching|trigrams]] (broken and solid Yin/Yang lines) lining the bottom hem. They appear to be the complete set of trigrams used in [[wikipedia:Feng shui|Feng Shui]], and match the set of trigrams on the [[Hakkero]].<br />

===Games===<br />
;''Imperishable Night''<br />
[[File:Th08EirinSprite.png|frame|Eirin's sprite in ''IN'']]<br />
During the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin attempted to seal the passage between the Earth and [[Moon]], which opens every full moon, by casting a spell that would seal the Earth inside a chamber (similar to a Chinese folktale about a paradise found inside a pot). She only meant to do this to protect both Kaguya and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba|Reisen]] so that the emissaries coming from the Moon wouldn't be able to reach them, but this did not go unnoticed by the various [[Youkai]] in Gensokyo who enjoy the moonlight.<br />

<br />
;''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''<br />
Eirin is involved in the backstory of ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. The [[Moon]] habitants decided to make an invasion to Gensokyo with the intent of [[Purity|purifying]] it. [[Moon rabbit]]s and mechanical spiders are razing the place and leaving a lifeless Earth. Gensokyo's [[human]]s can't fight by themselves, because a simple error means death, and it also looks like the youkai for some reason can't interfere with the purification, but Eirin planned ahead for such event and made a medicine that allows the user to see the close future. She sends Reisen to give the medicine to [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], and [[Sanae Kochiya]] and resolve the incident. This medicine is the tool that allows the Pointdevice gameplay mode, in which the player cannot get hit once.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
[[File:Th135Eirin.png|frame|Eirin in ''HM'']]<br />
;''Shoot the Bullet''<br />
In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] encountered Eirin on [[stage]] 9 and took photos of her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Eirin made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Human Village]] stage. She is seen sitting on a bench with [[Tewi Inaba]], [[Kaguya Houraisan]] and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] drinking something.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red<br />
{{main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Eirin|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Eirin}}<br />
Eirin has created a new medicine called the Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees that one will have a pleasant dream. She says that since the youkai of Gensokyo rarely suffer from physical ailments, she began developing medicine for spiritual ailments instead. This particular medicine is ancient, but humans who took it in the past often found their dreams too enjoyable and never returned from the dream world, so Eirin has weakened its potency and made it safe to use. She also has a variety which causes nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.<br />
<br />
In the interview, Eirin remarks that only a few people have come to buy the pill, even though it was a featured article in Aya's newspaper. Aya admits she doesn't have many readers. She is curious who is buying the medicine; Eirin is initially reluctant to say, but then reveals that it was [[Alice Margatroid]]. Aya mentions that she tried the pill herself, but found the dream uninteresting. Eirin suggests that she try Kochoumugan Nightmare Type (a [[Shoot the Bullet/Spell Cards/Level 9#Spell Card 64|scene]] in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'').<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Kaguya Houraisan]]<br />
Kaguya is Eirin's master and friend. She made the Hourai Elixir for Kaguya which resulted in her banishment. Feeling regretful, when she was sent to Earth to bring her back on the Moon, she killed the other emissaries and helped Kaguya with hiding herself. Now she serves Kaguya faithfully at Eientei.<br />
<br />
;[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]<br />
Eirin's servant. Eirin has employed Reisen's telepathic abilities to gain intelligence on the Lunar capital. She also sends Reisen to the Human Village to sell her medicine.<br />
<br />
;[[Tewi Inaba]]<br />
Tewi made a deal with Eirin to defend Eientei in exchange for Eirin imparting her knowledge to the rabbits. Thus Eirin is an ally, employer and teacher to Tewi and Tewi appropriately addresses her as Master. Eirin realizes Tewi's importance to Eientei due to her control over the rabbits and despite Tewi's pranks, knows that Tewi is there whenever they really need her, should the circumstance arise.<br />
<br />
;[[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] & [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]]<br />
Eirin was a teacher to both Toyohime and Yorihime. They both respect Eirin with much admiration even after Eirin became a fugitive. They both are also distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son<ref name="CiLR1">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter]]</ref>),<br />
<br />
;[[Lord Tsukuyomi]]<br />
Not much was known how close they are, however they both founded the lunar capital together, so they could have been in good terms. It's unknown if their relationship remains the same after Eirin's desertion.<br />
<br />
;[[Medicine Melancholy]]<br />
After learning of Medicine from Reisen, Eirin goes to the Hill of the Nameless to meet her. Eirin takes an interest of her thanks to her poison abilities.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Alice Margatroid]] <br />
Alice regularly purchases the Butterfly Dream Pill from Eirin.<br />
<br />
;[[Sakuya Izayoi]] <br />
According to Eirin's profile, Eirin was very surprised to see Sakuya during the events of Imperishable Night. Though what relationship they have are unknown since only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Eirin's profile states that she killed the other messengers sent with her. Kaguya's profile describes these messengers as "emissaries". Later official works would state that moon [[rabbit]]s are trained as lunar emissaries, and it is unconfirmed if any of the emissaries were Lunarians. Given that rabbits are viewed merely as tools by the Lunarians, this may explain why the severity of murdering the other emissaries isn't emphasized whenever Eirin's crime of helping the princess comes up. Eirin has also made it clear in both [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]] and chapter 2 in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]] that she has no qualms with killing moon rabbits should situation make her go to such lengths.<br />
*Eirin has a [[Spell Card]] named "Apollo 13" after the [[wikipedia:Apollo 13|aborted third American moon mission]] launched in April 1970. The spell card's spell sign is "Curse of the Heavens", and seems to imply that it was Lunarian magic, not mechanical failure, that critically damaged the spacecraft and forced it to abandon its lunar landing so as to forestall the "invasion". It's also stated that the Lunarians know why the number 13 is cursed. Eirin in ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' reveals that the Apollo series failed because the sun ("Apollo") is incompatible with the back side of the moon, and [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Second Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate's 2nd chapter]] mentions Lunarian technology while talking about the humans' failure to establish a base on the moon, implying Lunarian sabotage.<br />
*Eirin had recently developed a medicine called Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees the person who takes it will have a pleasant dream once they fall asleep. The medicine was featured in an article in the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]], but still remains fairly unpopular (mostly due to the fact that the paper itself isn't too popular). There is one customer, [[Alice Margatroid]], who has returned numerous times to purchase the medicine however, although the reasons why were never disclosed.<br />
*In Tibetan Buddhism, the bow held in the right hand with an arrow in the left (as Eirin holds them) is a symbol of wisdom as a means of projecting method or skillful means.<br />
*The bow and the arrow are a possible reference to the huntress and Greek moon goddess Artemis (sister of Apollo; In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', ZUN made a joke about Apollo being the sun god, so he surely knows about Artemis). Artemis (or her bow) sometimes represents the crescent moon, symbol of full maturity in the cycle of life (it suits Eirin very well).<br />
**Artemis is often assimilated to Selene (the personification of the moon), which is the root of Selenium, a non-metal antioxidant sometimes used as a medicine but toxic in large quantity to human beings. Antioxidants are known to improve life expectancy.<br />
**Ursa Major, one of the constellations on Eirin's clothes, was originally Callisto, a servant of Artemis.<br />
**It is also confirmed that ZUN is aware of the bow representing the crescent moon. In [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fifth Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate Chapter 5]], Yukari is unable to see the crescent moon due to a storm, and wonders if it's because there is no one on the moon who wields a bow anymore.<br />
*In Chinese mythology, Houyi was a god of archery banished from heaven. He was married to [[Chang'e]], Kaguya's Chinese equivalent. According to legends, he received the last two immortal elixirs from Xi Wangmu of Kunlun mountains in the west. Chang'e drank them both, who then ascended to the moon.<br />

'''Eirin Yagokoro'''<br />
<br />
Species: [[Lunarian]]<br /><br />
Abilities: Making any drug. Natural Genius.<br />
<br />
She's a person from the [[moon]]. That means she's an alien. She has lived on the Earth for a long time. Her relationship with [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] dates back to their days on the moon.<br />
<br />
The Yagokoro family is a line of medicinal geniuses that have been living on the moon for some time. Even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. She is much smarter than humans, which makes her rarely understood.<br />
<br />
In truth, she has power well beyond that of Kaguya's. She saves her power and maintains it at a lower level out of respect for Kaguya.<br />
<br />
Long ago, Eirin was one of a party of messengers who were sent to bring [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] back to the moon; the crime for which she was exiled to Earth had been forgiven. For some reason, she helped Kaguya kill all the other messengers instead. To ensure that the earthlings who lived with Kaguya would remain silent, she bribed them with the Hourai Elixir. The elixir had the power to make people immortal. None of those earthlings consumed the elixir, however, and died shortly afterwards.<br />
<br />
It was later discovered that they were murdered.<br />
<br />
More detail is available in [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]]'s profile.<br />
<br />
Eirin is very surprised to see [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]], but only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Eirin Yagokoro'''|八意 永琳|Yagokoro Eirin}} is one of the antagonists of [[Imperishable Night]]. She's a medical genius from the [[Moon]], able to create even the [[Hourai Elixir]] with the help of Kaguya's power, the manipulation of eternity. She is living in exile in [[Gensokyo]] after choosing to stay with and devote herself to [[Kaguya Houraisan]] on Earth rather than take her back to the Moon. She was a very well-known figure on the Moon, having not only been instrumental in the founding of Lunar society with [[Lord Tsukuyomi]], but also being its leading medical mind and the person in charge of the Moon's emissaries to the Earth.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
She first appeared as the Alternative Final Boss in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', and she was stage 9 target in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]''. She is also involved in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Eirin is an enigmatic person surrounded by many mysteries and her answers regarding the mysteries about her are incoherent replies. She is generally a fairly pleasant person and is devoted to serving her ally, Kaguya, but she does not suffer fools gladly, and because of her incredibly high intelligence, she can come across as conceited, impatient and condescending at times to those not sharp enough to follow her explanations immediately. However, she also seems to lack general common sense, most likely due to her not living with humans. [[File:GoMIllus-Eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in [[The Grimoire of Marisa]].]]<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Making any drug<br />
She can make all sorts of drug/medicines, from medicine for the ordinary cold to drugs that can manipulate dreams. As one would expect, she is not able to make medicines that would require a physically impossible process in order to produce, nor can she make the medicine if she does not have the ingredients. Although she did make the [[Hourai Elixir]], she made it using Kaguya's ability.<br />
<br />
;Natural Genius<br />
Eirin is said to be highly intelligent and considers other people to be less smart than her. Furthermore, the Yagokoro family is said to be a line of medicinal geniuses and even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. Due to this, Eirin is rarely understood by others.<br />
<br />
;Immortality<br />
It is not specified in her profile, but Eirin reveals to Yuyuko in the Netherworld Team's Good Ending of [[Imperishable Night]] that she was going to prepare the medicine made with Kaguya's ability, in order to not die. Yuyuko's response and further narration cement that this is referring to Eirin having become immortal, from the Hourai Elixir.<br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
Aside from her medical knowledge, Eirin seems to be very skilled in various forms of [[magic]]. For instance, in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', she sealed the whole Earth preventing anything or anyone from reaching or leaving it. Additionally, she replaced the real Moon with a fake one that was able to mislead the heroines with an illusion. According to herself, doing this was "hardly" her most powerful spell, meaning that she is probably able to use other types of sorcery that are far stronger than this<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'' - Barrier Team's Scenario. <br /><br />
'''Reisen:''' ''Ah, you're talking about the moon? That's my master Eirin's most powerful spell. It makes this Earth into a giant, sealed chamber. Do you get it now?''<br /><br />
<br />
'''Eirin:''' ''Also, about that full moon-erasing spell. It's hardly my most powerful one.''</ref>.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
After the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin has begun using her knowledge of medicine to act as Gensokyo's premier pharmacist, selling medicines at [[Eientei]] ranging from sleep aids to various cures. You can visit her like you visit a normal doctor, and she can even prescribe medicine for obscure illnesses. Her medicines are well known to work with no side effects, though youkai medicine and human medicine must never be mixed together. It's reasonable to believe her medicines come from the Moon or are developed with Lunar technology. The medicine is not only effective, but fairly priced. Fortunately, Eirin is not fussy about payment; she will most likely wait until you pay her. Still, it is believed that Eirin may have another reason for starting this business other than profit.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
;Bow and Arrow<br />
Eirin wields a bow and arrow. Presumably, she uses it for spellcards.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
A long time ago, Eirin was the Sage of the [[Moon]]; with her high intelligence and the aid of the former Princess of the Moon, Kaguya, she created the [[Hourai Elixir]] and gave it to her. As a result, Kaguya was exiled to Earth as a punishment for drinking the elixir. A few years later, Kaguya had been allowed to return to the moon and, along with other Lunarians, Eirin was sent to Earth as an emissary from the Moon. Eirin felt remorse for Kaguya because she herself wasn't punished even though she was the one who made the elixir. Her desire for redemption was so strong that she was ready to do anything for Kaguya, and so she killed all the other emissaries and decided to live on Earth with Kaguya as her own punishment.<br />
<br />
After living a few hundred years hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost|Bamboo Forest]] of [[Gensokyo]], her whereabouts were discovered by the Moon, and led to the [[Imperishable Night|Eternal Night Incident]], but at the time the incident was resolved, she came to know that even if she did not try to hide the Moon, the Lunar Emissaries wouldn't be able to come for Reisen. She has been living as a resident of Gensokyo ever since.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
Eirin might be based on {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Ame no Yagokoro Omoikane no Mikoto]]|天八意思兼命}}, the god who thought of the plan to lure [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] out of hiding. This can be seen by her [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 6A#Spell Card 132|spell card]], and by the correlation between Eirin's sharp intellect and Omoikane's. (Takami-Musubi is also very strongly associated with intellectual facilities.) The interrelationships of various lunar figures presents a more interesting situation. Eirin is distantly related to the Watatsuki sisters, both based on mythology. In the [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third Chapter|third chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'', [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] mentions that Eirin's participation was critical to the founding of the lunar capital, and that she was older even than Tsukuyomi. Omoikane is the son of Takami-Musubi, one of the great gods that summoned Izanagi and Izanami into existence, but it's unclear whether Omoikane was born before the creation of the Japanese islands, which also saw the births of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. Regardless of whether she is "meant to be" Omoikane, Eirin clearly draws on Omoikane in many ways.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Eirin Yagokoro''|八意 永琳}}. The characters for {{nihongo||八意|Yagokoro}} literally means "eight minds" and {{nihongo||永琳|Eirin}}, "eternal jewel". The number 8 in Japanese culture signifies the sacred and the infinite, and is often used indefinitely to mean "many" or "countless" (as in the [[Eight Million Gods]]). ''Gokoro'' is an ancient reading for {{lang|ja|意}}, which could indicate something about heart or mind. So her whole name could mean "Intelligence of eternally clear brightness over infinitely extended area", referring her to be the "Mind of [[God]]". It is revealed in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' that "Eirin" is merely her earth name, her true [[Lunarian]] first name being unpronounceable to the [[impurity|impure]] earthling tongue. Regardless of "Yagokoro" in both cases, she is strongly implied to be [[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Omoikane]].<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Eirin has dark grey eyes, long silver hair, has a large braid on her back and carries a strange pair of bow and arrow. Her clothing is red and blue and is covered with constellation patterns. She also wears something similar to a nurse's cap.<br />
<br />
Eirin's clothing has [[wikipedia:I Ching|trigrams]] (broken and solid Yin/Yang lines) lining the bottom hem. They appear to be the complete set of trigrams used in [[wikipedia:Feng shui|Feng Shui]], and match the set of trigrams on the [[Hakkero]].<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Imperishable Night''<br />
[[File:Th08EirinSprite.png|frame|Eirin's sprite in ''IN'']]<br />
During the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin attempted to seal the passage between the Earth and [[Moon]], which opens every full moon, by casting a spell that would seal the Earth inside a chamber (similar to a Chinese folktale about a paradise found inside a pot). She only meant to do this to protect both Kaguya and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba|Reisen]] so that the emissaries coming from the Moon wouldn't be able to reach them, but this did not go unnoticed by the various [[Youkai]] in Gensokyo who enjoy the moonlight.<br />

<br />
;''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''<br />
Eirin is involved in the backstory of ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. The [[Moon]] habitants decided to make an invasion to Gensokyo with the intent of [[Purity|purifying]] it. [[Moon rabbit]]s and mechanical spiders are razing the place and leaving a lifeless Earth. Gensokyo's [[human]]s can't fight by themselves, because a simple error means death, and it also looks like the youkai for some reason can't interfere with the purification, but Eirin planned ahead for such event and made a medicine that allows the user to see the close future. She sends Reisen to give the medicine to [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], and [[Sanae Kochiya]] and resolve the incident. This medicine is the tool that allows the Pointdevice gameplay mode, in which the player cannot get hit once.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
[[File:Th135Eirin.png|frame|Eirin in ''HM'']]<br />
;''Shoot the Bullet''<br />
In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] encountered Eirin on [[stage]] 9 and took photos of her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Eirin made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Human Village]] stage. She is seen sitting on a bench with [[Tewi Inaba]], [[Kaguya Houraisan]] and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] drinking something.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red<br />
{{main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Eirin|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Eirin}}<br />
Eirin has created a new medicine called the Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees that one will have a pleasant dream. She says that since the youkai of Gensokyo rarely suffer from physical ailments, she began developing medicine for spiritual ailments instead. This particular medicine is ancient, but humans who took it in the past often found their dreams too enjoyable and never returned from the dream world, so Eirin has weakened its potency and made it safe to use. She also has a variety which causes nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.<br />
<br />
In the interview, Eirin remarks that only a few people have come to buy the pill, even though it was a featured article in Aya's newspaper. Aya admits she doesn't have many readers. She is curious who is buying the medicine; Eirin is initially reluctant to say, but then reveals that it was [[Alice Margatroid]]. Aya mentions that she tried the pill herself, but found the dream uninteresting. Eirin suggests that she try Kochoumugan Nightmare Type (a [[Shoot the Bullet/Spell Cards/Level 9#Spell Card 64|scene]] in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'').<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Kaguya Houraisan]]<br />
Kaguya is Eirin's master and friend. She made the Hourai Elixir for Kaguya which resulted in her banishment. Feeling regretful, when she was sent to Earth to bring her back on the Moon, she killed the other emissaries and helped Kaguya with hiding herself. Now she serves Kaguya faithfully at Eientei.<br />
<br />
;[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]<br />
Eirin's servant. Eirin has employed Reisen's telepathic abilities to gain intelligence on the Lunar capital. She also sends Reisen to the Human Village to sell her medicine.<br />
<br />
;[[Tewi Inaba]]<br />
Tewi made a deal with Eirin to defend Eientei in exchange for Eirin imparting her knowledge to the rabbits. Thus Eirin is an ally, employer and teacher to Tewi and Tewi appropriately addresses her as Master. Eirin realizes Tewi's importance to Eientei due to her control over the rabbits and despite Tewi's pranks, knows that Tewi is there whenever they really need her, should the circumstance arise.<br />
<br />
;[[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] & [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]]<br />
Eirin was a teacher to both Toyohime and Yorihime. They both respect Eirin with much admiration even after Eirin became a fugitive. They both are also distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son<ref name="CiLR1">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter]]</ref>),<br />
<br />
;[[Lord Tsukuyomi]]<br />
Not much was known how close they are, however they both founded the lunar capital together, so they could have been in good terms. It's unknown if their relationship remains the same after Eirin's desertion.<br />
<br />
;[[Medicine Melancholy]]<br />
After learning of Medicine from Reisen, Eirin goes to the Hill of the Nameless to meet her. Eirin takes an interest of her thanks to her poison abilities.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Alice Margatroid]] <br />
Alice regularly purchases the Butterfly Dream Pill from Eirin.<br />
<br />
;[[Sakuya Izayoi]] <br />
According to Eirin's profile, Eirin was very surprised to see Sakuya during the events of Imperishable Night. Though what relationship they have are unknown since only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Eirin's profile states that she killed the other messengers sent with her. Kaguya's profile describes these messengers as "emissaries". Later official works would state that moon [[rabbit]]s are trained as lunar emissaries, and it is unconfirmed if any of the emissaries were Lunarians. Given that rabbits are viewed merely as tools by the Lunarians, this may explain why the severity of murdering the other emissaries isn't emphasized whenever Eirin's crime of helping the princess comes up. Eirin has also made it clear in both [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]] and chapter 2 in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]] that she has no qualms with killing moon rabbits should situation make her go to such lengths.<br />
*Eirin has a [[Spell Card]] named "Apollo 13" after the [[wikipedia:Apollo 13|aborted third American moon mission]] launched in April 1970. The spell card's spell sign is "Curse of the Heavens", and seems to imply that it was Lunarian magic, not mechanical failure, that critically damaged the spacecraft and forced it to abandon its lunar landing so as to forestall the "invasion". It's also stated that the Lunarians know why the number 13 is cursed. Eirin in ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' reveals that the Apollo series failed because the sun ("Apollo") is incompatible with the back side of the moon, and [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Second Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate's 2nd chapter]] mentions Lunarian technology while talking about the humans' failure to establish a base on the moon, implying Lunarian sabotage.<br />
*Eirin had recently developed a medicine called Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees the person who takes it will have a pleasant dream once they fall asleep. The medicine was featured in an article in the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]], but still remains fairly unpopular (mostly due to the fact that the paper itself isn't too popular). There is one customer, [[Alice Margatroid]], who has returned numerous times to purchase the medicine however, although the reasons why were never disclosed.<br />
*In Tibetan Buddhism, the bow held in the right hand with an arrow in the left (as Eirin holds them) is a symbol of wisdom as a means of projecting method or skillful means.<br />
*The bow and the arrow are a possible reference to the huntress and Greek moon goddess Artemis (sister of Apollo; In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', ZUN made a joke about Apollo being the sun god, so he surely knows about Artemis). Artemis (or her bow) sometimes represents the crescent moon, symbol of full maturity in the cycle of life (it suits Eirin very well).<br />
**Artemis is often assimilated to Selene (the personification of the moon), which is the root of Selenium, a non-metal antioxidant sometimes used as a medicine but toxic in large quantity to human beings. Antioxidants are known to improve life expectancy.<br />
**Ursa Major, one of the constellations on Eirin's clothes, was originally Callisto, a servant of Artemis.<br />
**It is also confirmed that ZUN is aware of the bow representing the crescent moon. In [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fifth Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate Chapter 5]], Yukari is unable to see the crescent moon due to a storm, and wonders if it's because there is no one on the moon who wields a bow anymore.<br />
*In Chinese mythology, Houyi was a god of archery banished from heaven. He was married to [[Chang'e]], Kaguya's Chinese equivalent. According to legends, he received the last two immortal elixirs from Xi Wangmu of Kunlun mountains in the west. Chang'e drank them both, who then ascended to the moon.<br />

'''Eirin Yagokoro'''<br />
<br />
Species: [[Lunarian]]<br /><br />
Abilities: Making any drug. Natural Genius.<br />
<br />
She's a person from the [[moon]]. That means she's an alien. She has lived on the Earth for a long time. Her relationship with [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] dates back to their days on the moon.<br />
<br />
The Yagokoro family is a line of medicinal geniuses that have been living on the moon for some time. Even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. She is much smarter than humans, which makes her rarely understood.<br />
<br />
In truth, she has power well beyond that of Kaguya's. She saves her power and maintains it at a lower level out of respect for Kaguya.<br />
<br />
Long ago, Eirin was one of a party of messengers who were sent to bring [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] back to the moon; the crime for which she was exiled to Earth had been forgiven. For some reason, she helped Kaguya kill all the other messengers instead. To ensure that the earthlings who lived with Kaguya would remain silent, she bribed them with the Hourai Elixir. The elixir had the power to make people immortal. None of those earthlings consumed the elixir, however, and died shortly afterwards.<br />
<br />
It was later discovered that they were murdered.<br />
<br />
More detail is available in [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]]'s profile.<br />
<br />
Eirin is very surprised to see [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]], but only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Eirin Yagokoro'''|八意 永琳|Yagokoro Eirin}} is one of the antagonists of [[Imperishable Night]]. She's a medical genius from the [[Moon]], able to create even the [[Hourai Elixir]] with the help of Kaguya's power, the manipulation of eternity. She is living in exile in [[Gensokyo]] after choosing to stay with and devote herself to [[Kaguya Houraisan]] on Earth rather than take her back to the Moon. She was a very well-known figure on the Moon, having not only been instrumental in the founding of Lunar society with [[Lord Tsukuyomi]], but also being its leading medical mind and the person in charge of the Moon's emissaries to the Earth.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
She first appeared as the Alternative Final Boss in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', and she was stage 9 target in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]''. She is also involved in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Eirin is an enigmatic person surrounded by many mysteries and her answers regarding the mysteries about her are incoherent replies. She is generally a fairly pleasant person and is devoted to serving her ally, Kaguya, but she does not suffer fools gladly, and because of her incredibly high intelligence, she can come across as conceited, impatient and condescending at times to those not sharp enough to follow her explanations immediately. However, she also seems to lack general common sense, most likely due to her not living with humans. [[File:GoMIllus-Eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in [[The Grimoire of Marisa]].]]<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Making any drug<br />
She can make all sorts of drug/medicines, from medicine for the ordinary cold to drugs that can manipulate dreams. As one would expect, she is not able to make medicines that would require a physically impossible process in order to produce, nor can she make the medicine if she does not have the ingredients. Although she did make the [[Hourai Elixir]], she made it using Kaguya's ability.<br />
<br />
;Natural Genius<br />
Eirin is said to be highly intelligent and considers other people to be less smart than her. Furthermore, the Yagokoro family is said to be a line of medicinal geniuses and even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. Due to this, Eirin is rarely understood by others.<br />
<br />
;Immortality<br />
It is not specified in her profile, but Eirin reveals to Yuyuko in the Netherworld Team's Good Ending of [[Imperishable Night]] that she was going to prepare the medicine made with Kaguya's ability, in order to not die. Yuyuko's response and further narration cement that this is referring to Eirin having become immortal, from the Hourai Elixir.<br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
Aside from her medical knowledge, Eirin seems to be very skilled in various forms of [[magic]]. For instance, in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', she sealed the whole Earth preventing anything or anyone from reaching or leaving it. Additionally, she replaced the real Moon with a fake one that was able to mislead the heroines with an illusion. According to herself, doing this was "hardly" her most powerful spell, meaning that she is probably able to use other types of sorcery that are far stronger than this<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'' - Barrier Team's Scenario. <br /><br />
'''Reisen:''' ''Ah, you're talking about the moon? That's my master Eirin's most powerful spell. It makes this Earth into a giant, sealed chamber. Do you get it now?''<br /><br />
<br />
'''Eirin:''' ''Also, about that full moon-erasing spell. It's hardly my most powerful one.''</ref>.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
After the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin has begun using her knowledge of medicine to act as Gensokyo's premier pharmacist, selling medicines at [[Eientei]] ranging from sleep aids to various cures. You can visit her like you visit a normal doctor, and she can even prescribe medicine for obscure illnesses. Her medicines are well known to work with no side effects, though youkai medicine and human medicine must never be mixed together. It's reasonable to believe her medicines come from the Moon or are developed with Lunar technology. The medicine is not only effective, but fairly priced. Fortunately, Eirin is not fussy about payment; she will most likely wait until you pay her. Still, it is believed that Eirin may have another reason for starting this business other than profit.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
;Bow and Arrow<br />
Eirin wields a bow and arrow. Presumably, she uses it for spellcards.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
A long time ago, Eirin was the Sage of the [[Moon]]; with her high intelligence and the aid of the former Princess of the Moon, Kaguya, she created the [[Hourai Elixir]] and gave it to her. As a result, Kaguya was exiled to Earth as a punishment for drinking the elixir. A few years later, Kaguya had been allowed to return to the moon and, along with other Lunarians, Eirin was sent to Earth as an emissary from the Moon. Eirin felt remorse for Kaguya because she herself wasn't punished even though she was the one who made the elixir. Her desire for redemption was so strong that she was ready to do anything for Kaguya, and so she killed all the other emissaries and decided to live on Earth with Kaguya as her own punishment.<br />
<br />
After living a few hundred years hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost|Bamboo Forest]] of [[Gensokyo]], her whereabouts were discovered by the Moon, and led to the [[Imperishable Night|Eternal Night Incident]], but at the time the incident was resolved, she came to know that even if she did not try to hide the Moon, the Lunar Emissaries wouldn't be able to send Kaguya back. She has been living as a resident of Gensokyo thereafter.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS eirin.jpg|thumb|200px|Eirin illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
Eirin might be based on {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Ame no Yagokoro Omoikane no Mikoto]]|天八意思兼命}}, the god who thought of the plan to lure [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] out of hiding. This can be seen by her [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 6A#Spell Card 132|spell card]], and by the correlation between Eirin's sharp intellect and Omoikane's. (Takami-Musubi is also very strongly associated with intellectual facilities.) The interrelationships of various lunar figures presents a more interesting situation. Eirin is distantly related to the Watatsuki sisters, both based on mythology. In the [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third Chapter|third chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'', [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] mentions that Eirin's participation was critical to the founding of the lunar capital, and that she was older even than Tsukuyomi. Omoikane is the son of Takami-Musubi, one of the great gods that summoned Izanagi and Izanami into existence, but it's unclear whether Omoikane was born before the creation of the Japanese islands, which also saw the births of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. Regardless of whether she is "meant to be" Omoikane, Eirin clearly draws on Omoikane in many ways.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Eirin Yagokoro''|八意 永琳}}. The characters for {{nihongo||八意|Yagokoro}} literally means "eight minds" and {{nihongo||永琳|Eirin}}, "eternal jewel". The number 8 in Japanese culture signifies the sacred and the infinite, and is often used indefinitely to mean "many" or "countless" (as in the [[Eight Million Gods]]). ''Gokoro'' is an ancient reading for {{lang|ja|意}}, which could indicate something about heart or mind. So her whole name could mean "Intelligence of eternally clear brightness over infinitely extended area", referring her to be the "Mind of [[God]]". It is revealed in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' that "Eirin" is merely her earth name, her true [[Lunarian]] first name being unpronounceable to the [[impurity|impure]] earthling tongue. Regardless of "Yagokoro" in both cases, she is strongly implied to be [[wikipedia:Omoikane (Shinto)|Omoikane]].<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Eirin has dark grey eyes, long silver hair, has a large braid on her back and carries a strange pair of bow and arrow. Her clothing is red and blue and is covered with constellation patterns. She also wears something similar to a nurse's cap.<br />
<br />
Eirin's clothing has [[wikipedia:I Ching|trigrams]] (broken and solid Yin/Yang lines) lining the bottom hem. They appear to be the complete set of trigrams used in [[wikipedia:Feng shui|Feng Shui]], and match the set of trigrams on the [[Hakkero]].<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Imperishable Night''<br />
[[File:Th08EirinSprite.png|frame|Eirin's sprite in ''IN'']]<br />
During the events of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Eirin attempted to seal the passage between the Earth and [[Moon]], which opens every full moon, by casting a spell that would seal the Earth inside a chamber (similar to a Chinese folktale about a paradise found inside a pot). She only meant to do this to protect both Kaguya and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba|Reisen]] so that the emissaries coming from the Moon wouldn't be able to reach them, but this did not go unnoticed by the various [[Youkai]] in Gensokyo who enjoy the moonlight.<br />

<br />
;''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''<br />
Eirin is involved in the backstory of ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. The [[Moon]] habitants decided to make an invasion to Gensokyo with the intent of [[Purity|purifying]] it. [[Moon rabbit]]s and mechanical spiders are razing the place and leaving a lifeless Earth. Gensokyo's [[human]]s can't fight by themselves, because a simple error means death, and it also looks like the youkai for some reason can't interfere with the purification, but Eirin planned ahead for such event and made a medicine that allows the user to see the close future. She sends Reisen to give the medicine to [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], and [[Sanae Kochiya]] and resolve the incident. This medicine is the tool that allows the Pointdevice gameplay mode, in which the player cannot get hit once.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
[[File:Th135Eirin.png|frame|Eirin in ''HM'']]<br />
;''Shoot the Bullet''<br />
In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] encountered Eirin on [[stage]] 9 and took photos of her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Eirin made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Human Village]] stage. She is seen sitting on a bench with [[Tewi Inaba]], [[Kaguya Houraisan]] and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] drinking something.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red<br />
{{main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Eirin|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Eirin}}<br />
Eirin has created a new medicine called the Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees that one will have a pleasant dream. She says that since the youkai of Gensokyo rarely suffer from physical ailments, she began developing medicine for spiritual ailments instead. This particular medicine is ancient, but humans who took it in the past often found their dreams too enjoyable and never returned from the dream world, so Eirin has weakened its potency and made it safe to use. She also has a variety which causes nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.<br />
<br />
In the interview, Eirin remarks that only a few people have come to buy the pill, even though it was a featured article in Aya's newspaper. Aya admits she doesn't have many readers. She is curious who is buying the medicine; Eirin is initially reluctant to say, but then reveals that it was [[Alice Margatroid]]. Aya mentions that she tried the pill herself, but found the dream uninteresting. Eirin suggests that she try Kochoumugan Nightmare Type (a [[Shoot the Bullet/Spell Cards/Level 9#Spell Card 64|scene]] in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'').<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Kaguya Houraisan]]<br />
Kaguya is Eirin's master and friend. She made the Hourai Elixir for Kaguya which resulted in her banishment. Feeling regretful, when she was sent to Earth to bring her back on the Moon, she killed the other emissaries and helped Kaguya with hiding herself. Now she serves Kaguya faithfully at Eientei.<br />
<br />
;[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]<br />
Eirin's servant. Eirin has employed Reisen's telepathic abilities to gain intelligence on the Lunar capital. She also sends Reisen to the Human Village to sell her medicine.<br />
<br />
;[[Tewi Inaba]]<br />
Tewi made a deal with Eirin to defend Eientei in exchange for Eirin imparting her knowledge to the rabbits. Thus Eirin is an ally, employer and teacher to Tewi and Tewi appropriately addresses her as Master. Eirin realizes Tewi's importance to Eientei due to her control over the rabbits and despite Tewi's pranks, knows that Tewi is there whenever they really need her, should the circumstance arise.<br />
<br />
;[[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] & [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]]<br />
Eirin was a teacher to both Toyohime and Yorihime. They both respect Eirin with much admiration even after Eirin became a fugitive. They both are also distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son<ref name="CiLR1">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter]]</ref>),<br />
<br />
;[[Lord Tsukuyomi]]<br />
Not much was known how close they are, however they both founded the lunar capital together, so they could have been in good terms. It's unknown if their relationship remains the same after Eirin's desertion.<br />
<br />
;[[Medicine Melancholy]]<br />
After learning of Medicine from Reisen, Eirin goes to the Hill of the Nameless to meet her. Eirin takes an interest of her thanks to her poison abilities.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Alice Margatroid]] <br />
Alice regularly purchases the Butterfly Dream Pill from Eirin.<br />
<br />
;[[Sakuya Izayoi]] <br />
According to Eirin's profile, Eirin was very surprised to see Sakuya during the events of Imperishable Night. Though what relationship they have are unknown since only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Eirin's profile states that she killed the other messengers sent with her. Kaguya's profile describes these messengers as "emissaries". Later official works would state that moon [[rabbit]]s are trained as lunar emissaries, and it is unconfirmed if any of the emissaries were Lunarians. Given that rabbits are viewed merely as tools by the Lunarians, this may explain why the severity of murdering the other emissaries isn't emphasized whenever Eirin's crime of helping the princess comes up. Eirin has also made it clear in both [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]] and chapter 2 in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]] that she has no qualms with killing moon rabbits should situation make her go to such lengths.<br />
*Eirin has a [[Spell Card]] named "Apollo 13" after the [[wikipedia:Apollo 13|aborted third American moon mission]] launched in April 1970. The spell card's spell sign is "Curse of the Heavens", and seems to imply that it was Lunarian magic, not mechanical failure, that critically damaged the spacecraft and forced it to abandon its lunar landing so as to forestall the "invasion". It's also stated that the Lunarians know why the number 13 is cursed. Eirin in ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' reveals that the Apollo series failed because the sun ("Apollo") is incompatible with the back side of the moon, and [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Second Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate's 2nd chapter]] mentions Lunarian technology while talking about the humans' failure to establish a base on the moon, implying Lunarian sabotage.<br />
*Eirin had recently developed a medicine called Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees the person who takes it will have a pleasant dream once they fall asleep. The medicine was featured in an article in the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]], but still remains fairly unpopular (mostly due to the fact that the paper itself isn't too popular). There is one customer, [[Alice Margatroid]], who has returned numerous times to purchase the medicine however, although the reasons why were never disclosed.<br />
*In Tibetan Buddhism, the bow held in the right hand with an arrow in the left (as Eirin holds them) is a symbol of wisdom as a means of projecting method or skillful means.<br />
*The bow and the arrow are a possible reference to the huntress and Greek moon goddess Artemis (sister of Apollo; In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', ZUN made a joke about Apollo being the sun god, so he surely knows about Artemis). Artemis (or her bow) sometimes represents the crescent moon, symbol of full maturity in the cycle of life (it suits Eirin very well).<br />
**Artemis is often assimilated to Selene (the personification of the moon), which is the root of Selenium, a non-metal antioxidant sometimes used as a medicine but toxic in large quantity to human beings. Antioxidants are known to improve life expectancy.<br />
**Ursa Major, one of the constellations on Eirin's clothes, was originally Callisto, a servant of Artemis.<br />
**It is also confirmed that ZUN is aware of the bow representing the crescent moon. In [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fifth Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate Chapter 5]], Yukari is unable to see the crescent moon due to a storm, and wonders if it's because there is no one on the moon who wields a bow anymore.<br />
*In Chinese mythology, Houyi was a god of archery banished from heaven. He was married to [[Chang'e]], Kaguya's Chinese equivalent. According to legends, he received the last two immortal elixirs from Xi Wangmu of Kunlun mountains in the west. Chang'e drank them both, who then ascended to the moon.<br />

'''Eirin Yagokoro'''<br />
<br />
Species: [[Lunarian]]<br /><br />
Abilities: Making any drug. Natural Genius.<br />
<br />
She's a person from the [[moon]]. That means she's an alien. She has lived on the Earth for a long time. Her relationship with [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] dates back to their days on the moon.<br />
<br />
The Yagokoro family is a line of medicinal geniuses that have been living on the moon for some time. Even among them, Eirin is exceptionally intelligent. She is much smarter than humans, which makes her rarely understood.<br />
<br />
In truth, she has power well beyond that of Kaguya's. She saves her power and maintains it at a lower level out of respect for Kaguya.<br />
<br />
Long ago, Eirin was one of a party of messengers who were sent to bring [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]] back to the moon; the crime for which she was exiled to Earth had been forgiven. For some reason, she helped Kaguya kill all the other messengers instead. To ensure that the earthlings who lived with Kaguya would remain silent, she bribed them with the Hourai Elixir. The elixir had the power to make people immortal. None of those earthlings consumed the elixir, however, and died shortly afterwards.<br />
<br />
It was later discovered that they were murdered.<br />
<br />
More detail is available in [[Kaguya Houraisan|Kaguya]]'s profile.<br />
<br />
Eirin is very surprised to see [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]], but only Eirin knows the reason why.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Marisa Kirisame'''|霧雨 魔理沙|Kirisame Marisa}} is an ordinary [[human]] [[magician]] who specializes in light and heat magic and currently resides in the [[Forest of Magic]]. Her motto is: "It ain't magic if it ain't flashy. Danmaku's all about firepower,"<ref name="gumon_117-120">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Marisa Kirisame|Marisa Kirisame]]</ref> and she has a compulsive mania for collecting things. She's considered to be the deuteragonist of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' series along with the main protagonist, [[Reimu Hakurei]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Marisa is a common playable character in most games throughout the series with somewhat rare alternative roles such as being an Extra [[stage]] [[boss]]. Her first ever appearance in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' was in the second [[PC-98]] game ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', and she first appeared as a playable character in the third game, ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]''. Additionally, she has made a guest appearance as the first Extra stage boss in the ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
Marisa serves as an audience surrogate of sorts - she is straight-forward and much easier to understand than other characters, typically filling the support role. She also serves as a contrast to Reimu, who's blessed with innate abilities, by being the hard-working type of character without any special powers. [[ZUN]] has said that this makes her a rather "un-Touhou-like" character, but also gives him much more leeway in creating a story.<ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Marisa Kirisame|Strange Creators of Outer World - Marisa Kirisame]]</ref><ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue/Interview with ZUN|Silent Sinner in Blue interview]]</ref><br />
<br />
Marisa's height is that of a girl in her early teens and is in the "fairly short" group.<ref>[[ZUN's E-mails]]</ref>. Unlike [[Patchouli Knowledge]] and [[Alice Margatroid]], who are magicians by species, she's merely an ordinary [[human]] who uses magic. In the games themselves, she's a character who consistently stresses high power and quick speed. She exceeds in attack and penetration power, but her attack range is generally narrow. Her signature move is the tremendous laser [[spell card]], ''Love Sign "Master Spark<nowiki>"</nowiki>''. She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique.<ref>[[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] - ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''</ref><br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
<br />
Outwardly, Marisa is an outgoing and informal individual. She socializes with many inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] and is friendly to both human and non-humans individuals, although still remaining wary around [[youkai]]. She's quick to act if she hears or sees anything interesting; sometimes doing dangerous things to satiate her interest at the time. An example is when she follows an eagle on a whim in the middle of a blizzard.<ref>[[Wild and Horned Hermit]], chapter 10</ref> She speaks in an informal manner and typically uses the sentence ending particle {{nihongo||ぜ|ze}}. "Ze" used at the end of verb stems delivers a "boyish" and "impolite" sound to the listener/reader. ''Ze'' is mostly used in a context to express one's will to act (similar to "let's" in English), and using it in other cases sound somewhat unnatural, perhaps "phony" or "showy".<br />
<br />
In the past, Marisa was known to be a habitual liar. Such as when she claimed to be [[Reimu Hakurei]] to avoid being troubled by [[Flandre Scarlet]] <ref>[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]], Extra Stage</ref> or when she blamed various crimes to [[Alice Margatroid]] to get Reimu out of the way.<ref>[[Imperishable Night]], stage 4</ref> However, she puts no effort into actually deceiving anyone as her lies are extremely obvious. Over time, this tendency to lie has decreased and she's more likely to tell the truth to others. By the time of ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature'', she willingly tells [[Saki Kurokoma]] to come to her place and emphasises that it is not the shrine.<ref>[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]], Marisa's Extra (Eagle)</ref> Although that could be because she was possessed by the proud Eagle spirit.<br />
<br />
She has a mania for collecting things and exhibits knowledge of various valuable and/or magical objects around Gensokyo. She has been frequently seen foraging (or looting) in many places for various materials, be it mushrooms, parts of a dragon, or just whatever she thinks looks interesting at the time. That said, her hoarding habit does result in her not knowing or forgetting what objects are in her house.<br />
<br />
Though she goes to great lengths to hide it,<ref name="gumon_117-120"></ref> Marisa is a hard Working individual who frequently seeks to better herself and seeks to be known as a great magician.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Foreword|Foreword]]</ref> She takes pride in her magic and youkai extermination capabilities, claiming to be "the number two in Gensokyo".<ref>[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]] - Chapter 10</ref> She does indeed care for the sake of Gensokyo and its inhabitants, but conceals it with her rowdiness. In many cases, she is the one who would push Reimu to investigate potential incidents.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
It isn't directly stated how Marisa makes a living. She does state in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> 9th chapter that she regularly goes to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to take away Reimu's [[youkai]] extermination jobs and ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' implies it as well, making it a likely source of income. She's also written a book called ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that reviews various [[spell card]]s by different owners of a spell; she's shown a desire to try and sell the book.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Foreword|Foreword]]</ref><ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Marisa's Script|Marisa's Script]]</ref> She has been shown to peddle magic or lucky charms, the origin of these charms are dubious but she has, at least once, successfully sold a supposedly tanuki-warding pot to a villager. <ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 39</ref><br />
<br />
;Kirisame Magic Shop<br />
Marisa runs a shop for anything as an attachment to her own house. Although it's her primary occupation, she's usually absent. Inside the shop, it's so unimaginably disordered that it becomes like a mini-Forest of Magic.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /><br />
<br />
''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' provides some information on the magic shop.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> Though Marisa is surprisingly honest with her services, refusing to take payment for a failed job, the shop sees little use due to its difficult-to-find location in the [[Forest of Magic]] and the ambiguity of what her services actually are. (In ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'', on the Kirisame Magic Shop's signboard, other than the shop name, nothing is written but "what will you do" ({{lang|ja|なんかします}}).) The [[Three Fairies of Light]] were her first customers to her shop, but ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' implies she's had other customers since then, albeit not many.<br />
<br />
;Burglary<br />
[[File:018Marisa.JPG|thumb|left|150px|Marisa caught committing burglary.]]<br />
According to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', Marisa boldly breaks in from the front and openly says her motto "I'll be borrowing these!" while carrying things off. She mostly steals books, so she might not be the kind who steals money. Her ability to "learn other people's moves" might originate from her nature as a thief.<br />
<br />
As opposed to how she was commented to be a "prowler" in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'', Marisa said: "My life is way shorter than yours anyway, so can't you just take back everythin' after I kick the bucket? I'm just borrowin' until then. It should be good for the stuff I'm taking that way, too." [[Aya Shameimaru]]'s response was "The contents of the excerpt are very human-like and childish".<br />
<br />
In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', Marisa mentions "(being) a thief" concerning the book she stole from [[Patchouli Knowledge]]. In the Extra Stage of that game, [[Koishi Komeiji]] pointed out "Are you the doll-using thief". Afterwards, when there was nobody at the [[Moriya Shrine]], she crept in, but was discovered by [[Kanako Yasaka]] and the others and was harshly punished.<br />
<br />
She tried to steal from [[Kasen Ibaraki]] upon learning about the hermit's treasures, but got lost and was attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after she tried to kill it for its pelt.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
;Magic broom<br />
Marisa flies on a bamboo broom as part of her magician appearance. It's an ordinary broom, but constant exposure to magic has caused a curious growth to begin. Although the bamboo is dead, leaves appear to be sprouting from the handle, independently from Marisa's magic.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In the fighting games, it serves additional purposes - she uses it as a weapon for striking and shooting [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;Mini-Hakkero<br />
{{Main|Mini-Hakkero}}<br />
The mini-Hakkero, Marisa's treasured item, is a furnace that she uses to power her signature ''Master Spark''. From the flame of a table-top stove, to that of a flamethrower, to a powerful and unmatched wide magicannon, the mini-Hakkero has a convenient range of uses.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /><ref>''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'': Chapter number needed</ref> Marisa herself said, "I can't even think of makin' a livin' without it."<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 06|Chapter 6]]</ref> It was given to Marisa by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] as a farewell gift when Marisa left her family to live in the [[Forest of Magic]], even though it'd be risky for a girl of her age to handle.<br />
<br />
A magic lecture related to this item was written as follows:<br />
<blockquote>"While shooting concentrate your mind, gently muttering the spell to the Mini-Hakkero. Aiming at someone you don't like, a magicannon of love will be unleashed! <br />
<br />
— ''[[Imperishable Night]]'': [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 4B#Spell Card 100|Spell card 100]] — Marisa's Magic Lecture</blockquote><br />
<br />
;Magic Wand<br />
Marisa wielded a magic wand during her PC-98 appearances, but afterwards it was not seen again until ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''.<br />
<br />
;Mushroom Item<br />
Marisa carries, concealed in her skirt, a dangerous finished product of mushrooms made from mushroom magic. After throwing the item, it explodes. The fact that she conceals them in her skirt seemed dangerous even to [[Hieda no Akyuu]] as noted in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.<br />
<br />
==Ability and strength==<br />
Marisa is a normal human with no innate abilities, but her true strength lies in her ability to use one of the highest classes of magic power that [[human]]s can use – an unusual feat perhaps only possible because of the effects of the [[Forest of Magic]].<ref name="gumon_117-120"/> She's also faced very powerful humans and [[youkai]] and was able to solve a number of incidents in various scenarios, all being high achievements. However, her existence is closest to an ordinary person; she was born without any innate abilities (unlike [[Reimu Hakurei]]) and has been compared to "humans of a level close to us" by [[ZUN]]. As a result, the interpretations of Marisa's power can go to extremes. She has an attachment to power and has self-belief in ostentatious display of power. She always finds opponents to fight and plays by finding faults. However, she's actually a hard worker, and her power is the result of her secret training.<ref name="SGZUN">''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'': {{lang|ja|創曲幻想}}.txt</ref> For example, Marisa appears to have developed an innate resistance against poisonous substances, due to her gathering of mushrooms and living in the Forest of Magic.<br />
<br />
Despite her small size, Marisa is surprisingly physically strong. In chapter 16 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', she carried out a big computer out of Kourindou in her arms. In ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', she was shown jumping over the walls of the Hieda mansion<ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 7</ref> and was seen climbing youkai mountain manually (instead of just flying)<ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 45</ref>. In Marisa's otter route of ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', [[Urumi Ushizaki]] tried to drown Marisa using her stone baby but ends up being amazed that Marisa is able to hold onto it despite its weight. She was also able to lift [[Sunny Milk]] and hold her up at waist height with only one hand, and without putting any apparent effort in doing so.<ref>[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]] - Chapter 9.5</ref><br />
<br />
===Using magic===<br />
[[File:SSiBArtChapter191.jpg|thumb|192px|Marisa in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
Marisa has trained herself in magic that specialises in light and heat. She's an Eastern [[magician]] who takes a Western approach to magic, the opposite of [[Patchouli Knowledge]]. Her magic has tremendous power and few weaknesses, but it has few non-destructive uses, so she uses it for flashy youkai extermination more than anything. Her magic makes for a good danmaku show, but this is made possible only through her strenuous honest effort in creating layered effects. The majority of her spells rely on power over finesse and are themed after stars and other astronomical phenomena. According to ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', it's strange for a human to have mastery of magic of this level.<br />
<br />
Marisa picks and collects various exotic mushrooms that live in the [[Forest of Magic]]. She boils them, crushes them, dries them, and furthermore mixes them, making strange chemicals or medicine. By heating them, submerging them into water, or by throwing things in directly, through trial and error, she finds a pattern from which magic-like materials come forth. Success or failure, she records the details of each experiment.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In her house, there are a ton of various handmade grimoires.<br />
<br />
Prior to starting her research in ''The Grimoire of Marisa'', Marisa did not use complex slave-type attacks, as she was only capable of using slaves that circle around her (her guest appearance in ''Shuusou Gyoku'' notwithstanding).<ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Cards|The Grimoire of Marisa - Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Cards]]</ref><ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards|The Grimoire of Marisa - Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Flying===<br />
[[File:ThGK Kakashi4.jpg|thumb|200px|Fight between Marisa and [[Cirno]] in ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', as shown in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
Marisa is almost always depicted as riding on her broom when she flies in the sky. In the fighting spinoffs prior to ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' she rides a broom only during some of her assault skills, like ''Witch Leyline'' and ''Stardust Reverie''. However, the more recent aerial fighters show Marisa making an extensive and continuous use of her broom, to the point that there isn't a single moment in which she isn't riding or holding it. In ''Great Fairy Wars'', her broom is nowhere in sight. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' states she uses the magic broom to ride around on because she believes it's an essential tool for a magician. It was originally a normal broom but sprouted leaves as a side effect of Marisa using it in magic rituals. <br />
<br />
In the [[PC-98]] games, she's typically shown to use a vine in place of her broom in her boss appearances (with the notable exception of ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'' where she has illusionary wings instead), but her ''Lotus Land Story'' and ''Mystic Square'' endings show her using a broom. In ''Shuusou Gyoku'', she's depicted with angel wings.<br />
<br />
===Speed===<br />
Marisa seems to take pride in her own speed,<ref name "MoF cross">[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Introduction of Previous Works/Mountain of Faith/Cross Review]]</ref> which is potentially among the fastest for a human. When she used ''Double Spark'' against [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]], she moved some meters away from the first laser fast enough that she was able to shoot a second one before the first reached the Moon princess.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] - Chapter 15</ref> However, [[ZUN]] has mentioned that [[Aya Shameimaru]] is the fastest in [[Gensokyo]], and Marisa appears to consider Aya extremely fast,<ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Aya Shameimaru's Spell Cards]]</ref> and a worthy challenger in terms of speed,<ref name "MoF cross" /> so while there is the idea that Marisa is really fast, there might be other characters that are faster than her.<br />
<br />
Marisa's high speed is echoed in the games, usually by giving her the fastest or one of the fastest movement speed.<br />
<br />
===Learning other people's moves===<br />
[[File:Marisa'sCopyComparison.png|thumb|200px|A comparison between the originator of an attack and Marisa's copy of it.]]<br />
Marisa's ''Love Sign "Non-directional Laser"'' was copied from [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s regular attack from ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' as confirmed by [[ZUN]].<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'': [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 4B#Spell Card 087|spell card 087]]</ref> Other than that, there are also others suggested to have been stolen; ''Love Sign "Master Spark"'' greatly resembles [[Yuuka Kazami]]'s and [[Gengetsu]]'s laser from ''[[Lotus Land Story]]'', her "Orreries Sun" resembles [[Mima]]'s orreries, and "Cold Inferno" resembles [[Remilia Scarlet]]'s familiar in ''[[Imperishable Night]]''. However, there's no official evidence that these are copied moves.<br />
<br />
It's unknown if Marisa is inherently talented at imitating others' moves, or if she simply manages to do so due to sheer effort. She uses her [[mini-Hakkero]] to use the Master Spark, while Yuuka uses her version of the laser through other means.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards|Marisa Kirisame's spell cards]]</ref> Thus, her copying of the Master Spark seems more analogous to a person copying a fire-breathing dragon by using a flamethrower rather than a person copying a fire-breathing dragon by breathing flames merely through observation. Marisa also states that she can't imitate [[Kaguya Houraisan]]'s spell cards as they use special items that she doesn't possess.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Cards|Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Cards]]</ref> In that case, it's analogous to a person being unable to copy a fire-breathing dragon since there are no devices on hand.<br />
<br />
It's unlikely her implied tendency to copy other's moves is abnormal, as magicians such as Marisa build upon the work of others. Marisa claims in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that it's "magicians who build on observation", while [[Patchouli Knowledge]] uses the pride of magicians to add their own original touch to another's work while preserving and respecting the original.<ref name="SSiBCh6">''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Chapter 6</ref> Magicians seek the truth according to Patchouli.<ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Patchouli's Script|Patchouli's Script]]</ref> They act like researchers in this sense, building upon the work of others. However, other magicians such as Patchouli and [[Alice Margatroid]] haven't been depicted using imitations as blatant as Marisa's for spell cards.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS marisa.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Marisa, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Marisa Kirisame''|霧雨 魔理沙}}. Her surname {{nihongo||霧雨|Kirisame|lit. "mist rain"}} means "[[wikipedia:drizzle|drizzle]]" in Japanese. The [[wikipedia:kanji|kanji]] used in her given name {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:魔|魔]]|ma}} is highly likely to come from the "ma" in {{nihongo||'''魔'''法|'''ma'''hou|"magic"}} and with {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:理|理]]|ri}} able to be interpreted as {{nihongo|"logic/law/theory"|理|kotowari}}, it can be said that they deliver the idea of her being a magician. In addition, the kanji {{nihongo||沙|sa|lit. "small sand"}} doesn't have an actual meaning, but it's often used in Japanese given names to get the sound/look of "girlishness" (different kanji, but the same idea is used in [[Minamitsu Murasa]]'s name too).<br />
<br />
''[[Wikipedia:Marisa (given name)|Marisa]]'' is also a female given name with origins in the Romance languages, which is a variant of Latin "[[wiktionary:maris|maris]]", meaning "of the sea", but may also mean "manly". If her name was based on this, then it's very likely to indicate Marisa's character being a mix of both Eastern and Western cultures.<br />
<br />
''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'' had her name written as {{lang|ja|魔'''[[wiktionary:梨|梨]]'''沙}} in-game, with the kanji meaning "pear". In that game's attached text files and bad endings it was written as {{lang|ja|魔'''理'''沙}}. Since then, her name is still written as {{lang|ja|魔'''理'''沙}}, so {{lang|ja|魔'''梨'''沙}} was likely a typo.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
<br />
In general, Marisa is depicted with blonde hair and yellow eyes. She wears clothes with a black and white color scheme, consisting of a black vest and skirt, white waist apron and undershirt, and a black witch hat with a white bow. Her hair is commonly braided on one side with a bow on the end. She sometimes wears dark blue clothes instead, such as in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'', ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', or the fighting game spin offs from ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' onwards.<br />
<br />
Her exact appearance vary slightly between games and print works, such as having differently colored hat bows, varying hair length and style, and different aprons. In ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she wears a white full apron with black undershirt. In ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', she wears a pink capelet and has no braid. In ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' and ''[[Ten Desires]]'', her bows are purple. She wears dark blue clothes with a blue capelet in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Her outfit in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' has brown apron with an 'M', brown hat bow, a red bowtie, and she carries a wand. She wears a crescent moon accessory on her chest in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. She has pink scarf and gloves and has snowflake patterns on her apron in ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]''. In ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', she has cat-shaped patterns on her clothes.<br />
<br />
During the [[PC-98]] era, her debut appearance in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'' has her depicted with red hair and eyes and wearing a purple witch's outfit with a white bow on her hat (Due to the PC-98's limited colour space, purple was often used to stand-in for black outside lineart.). However her appearance changes in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]'' into having blonde hair and yellow eyes more similar to her current design. This appearance stays with her for the rest of the series. Her clothes are black in Mystic Square.<br />
<br />
==Marisa's Appearances==<br />
{{stub|section}}[[File:Th02marisa.png|thumb|Marisa in ''[[SoEW]]''.]]<br />
Unless specified, Marisa has usually been the second playable character throughout the games.<br />
<br />
===PC-98 Games===<br />
;''Story of Eastern Wonderland<br />
:{{Main|Story of Eastern Wonderland/Translation|l1=Story of Eastern Wonderland Story}}<br />
Marisa's adventure in the [[PC-98]] started in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', where she was the [[stage]] 4 [[boss]] and a disciple of [[Mima]]. She was a child who was tasked to keep [[Reimu Hakurei]] from reaching Mima, but was defeated.<br />
<br />
;''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream''<br />
:{{Main|Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream/Translation/Marisa's Scenario|l1=Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream Story}}<br />
''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' was where Marisa first appeared as a playable character, albeit not as the second choice - instead, Mima takes on that role.

;''The Grimoire of Marisa'' <br />
Marisa Kirisame is the author of [[Grimoire of Marisa]], Inspired by [[Aya Shameimaru|a certain tengu's]] [[Shoot_the_Bullet/Translation/Afterword|notebook]]. She wrote down a [[danmaku]] grimoire researching the spell cards of others hoping to acquire hints for new magic or, failing that, at least be able to sell the book to a library for a pretty price. The grimoire itself contains her commentaries of various character's spell cards and some of her own as well as explanations of spell card types and danmaku types.<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit'' <br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', Marisa regularly visits the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to talk about recent happenings, attending whatever festival happens at the time, or simply visiting Reimu. Marisa was the one who originally invited [[Kasen Ibaraki]] to visit the Hakurei Shrine more often, wishing to learn life extending techniques from the hermit, much to Reimu's reluctance.<br />
<br />
In chapter 10, Marisa goes to the mountains to search for Hahakigi's Otherworld (actually Kasen's marker tree for her pet eagle, [[Kanda]]) and was caught in the middle of a blizzard. She ends up straying into Kasen's hidden residence by following Kanda on a whim. Despite the near death experience, she later tries to return to Kasen's house but ends up being attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after trying to kill it for its pelt.<br />
<br />
In chapter 28, Marisa was found by Kasen in [[Former Hell]] wanting to see the underworld cherries. Kasen gave her a scolding and warned her against going there.<br />
<br />
In chapter 34, due to Reimu seemingly having an illness caused by exhaustion (actually due to her pulling all-nighters reading books from [[Suzunaan]]), Marisa took it upon herself to cook rare food, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conium_maculatum hemlock] salad, to help Reimu regain her spirit. The success of her cooking is debatable. Later, after [[Sumireko Usami]] summoned a flying saucer to the shrine, Marisa and Kasen spots an Unidentified Flying Object in the sky.<br />
<br />
In chapter 41, prior to the events of ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]'', it was Marisa who warned Reimu that an incident is happening.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery'' <br />
Marisa is a main character in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]''. In the first chapter she was the one who explained about Youma books to Reimu and reporting its appearance in [[Suzunaan]]. Afterwards she is shown frequently visiting Suzunaan and the human village, either for her own needs or to resolve incidents with Reimu or on her own.<br />
<br />
She has a winter outfit unique to Forbidden Scrollery, consisting of a black coat over a white frilly skirt.<br />

:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Kakashi Spirit News 4|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism Article: Marisa}}<br />
In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Marisa acts as the moderator for the symposium that involve [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]], and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. She'll usually start off a question to a discussion and will sometimes make her own comments. She also appeared in an article that's dedicated to a fight against [[Cirno]] which happened in ''[[Fairy Wars]]''. This made [[Hatate Himekaidou]] worried of how much stronger [[human]]s have become.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Marisa has met a major amount of [[characters]] that have appeared within the ''[[Touhou Project]]''.<br />
<br />
===Reimu Hakurei===<br />
[[File:GoMIllus-Reimu.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa fighting, as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''.]]<br />
[[File:SSiBArtWallpaper1.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa, in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]] Reimu is Marisa's closest friend, as well as her rival when it comes to youkai extermination and incident resolution. Although it was originally Reimu's job to solely handle incidents, Marisa has taken on many of the responsibilities as well, especially in recent years. There were even a number of times when Reimu and Marisa worked together to resolve incidents. <br />
<br />
When incidents aren't taking place, Marisa can be seen frequently visiting the Hakurei Shrine to hang out with Reimu. Usually for chatting and sometimes staying over for dinner. The Hakurei Shrine is a popular place of activity where festivals and parties are often held, so from time to time Marisa is shown helping Reimu set up for events.<br />
<br />
They first met in [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]], and Marisa seemed to immediately take an interest in Reimu. Throughout the rest of the [[PC-98]] era, Marisa often hangs around the [[Hakurei Shrine]], much like she does in the Windows era.<br />
<br />
Occasionally, Reimu and Marisa will engage in a duel, such as in Stage 4 of [[Imperishable Night]], or in the fighting games such as [[Antimony of Common Flowers]]. Generally, in her fights with Reimu, Marisa wins about 40% of the time.<ref name="CoLACh19">''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': Chapter 19</ref> She was initially jealous of how Reimu never does any training and yet remains strong due to her innate connection to the spiritual world as a shrine maiden, but has since developed her own techniques to match Reimu's in danmaku battle. In such regards to Reimu's immense powers, Marisa named and added a time limit to one of Reimu's signature spells, ''Fantasy Nature''<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards|Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards]]</ref>. She is a peace-keeper of Gensokyo alongside Reimu, aside from a few practical jokes now and then.<br />
<br />
===Alice Margatroid===<br />
[[Alice Margatroid]] is a fellow magician of the [[Forest of Magic]]. They were partners in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', and she also supported Marisa in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. They first fought during the events of ''[[Mystic Square]]'', and later in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have a rivalry of sorts with Marisa, with the two often insulting and fighting each other, yet teaming up on several occasions. For all the bickering the two go through, they seem to be close friends, as Alice once recommended Marisa's shop to the [[Three Fairies of Light]] when they needed some [[youkai]] extermination.<br />
<br />
===Residents of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]===<br />
The residents of the mansion are fully aware of Marisa sneaking into the magic library. They generally look the other way, but various incidents and win quotes from the fighting games show that they'll fight Marisa in a duel if they actually catch her in the act. At other times, they'll simply leave her be, such as the mansion's private moon viewing party, or Marisa's endings in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', where Sakuya even plays along with her, either serving her food or helping to conceal her from [[Remilia Scarlet]]. She's on friendly enough terms that she can walk in without any issue from most of the residents, even if she steals things.<br />
<br />
;Patchouli Knowledge<br />
[[Patchouli Knowledge]] is one of the victims of Marisa's burglary, often having books from her library stolen. Despite that, she was supporting Marisa in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', and they seemed to be on rather good terms. <br />
<br />
;Flandre Scarlet<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', Marisa commented, "sometimes when I sneak into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I run into the little sister. I had to slip by without drawin' her attention, but after goin' through all that to get into the place, I was hopin' I wouldn't run into her." <br />
<br />
===Rinnosuke Morichika===<br />

| image2 = Curiosities of lotus asia 07 01.jpg<br />
| footer = Marisa & Kourin on the cover of Chapters 6 & 7 in ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]''.<br />
}}<br />
[[Rinnosuke Morichika]] worked for Marisa's father at his shop as an apprentice in the Human Village before leaving to start [[Kourindou]] over eleven years ago before Marisa was born, and he's known her since she was small. Judging from [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'s 22nd chapter, she must have known him in person since at least around 2001, and the 6th chapter shows that Marisa once eavesdropped on a conversation between Rinnosuke and her father during one of Rinnosuke's rare visits to the Kirisame residence when she was "very young". Marisa thinks Rinnosuke is stiff with her because of her family, but the truth is Rinnosuke keeps his guard up with her because he doesn't want her to suspect when he's lying to her, particularly when it comes to her paying Rinnosuke with items that she collects. <br />
<br />
Rinnosuke sees Marisa as something of an annoyance, as she often imposes herself on him and takes what she likes from the store. In return, Marisa views Rinnosuke as being clueless and unable to admit that he doesn't understand many of the Outside World objects he identifies as part of his role at [[Kourindou]]. Despite that, they're still on friendly terms. He also created and later gave her the mini-[[hakkero]]. She's also the only one to call him by his nickname "Kourin", signifying either familiarity or Marisa's trademark impolite nature.<br />
<br />
Because of Marisa's collecting habits, Rinnosuke is often able to get valuable things she picks up for quite cheap, either because Marisa is unaware of its true value, or she has no need for it. However, he does feel somewhat bad about it.<ref name="cola7">[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 07|Curiosities of Lotus Asia: Chapter 7]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Nitori Kawashiro===<br />
[[Nitori Kawashiro]] knows Marisa from the events of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', and fancies herself as a friend of Marisa's. She was a support character option in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Nitori herself has a fondness for humans, and Marisa has a respect for technology, and the pair of them get along well enough because of it. Nitori and her fellow [[kappa]] are seen working with Marisa in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', possibly for mutual business purposes.<br />
<br />
===Mima===<br />
{{main|Canon}}<br />
In the PC-98 games, Marisa is subservient to [[Mima]]. She admires her greatly, boasting that "Lady Mima cannot be beaten" in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<nowiki>'s omake</nowiki> and apologizing to her when defeated by [[Reimu Hakurei]]. Mima is currently the only character to be addressed honorifically by Marisa. Additionally, she takes some inspiration from Mima, sharing her attack patterns using magical orbs (as well as using them in her ''Orreries Sun'' spell card) and using illusionary wings similar to hers in ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream''. However, they are never shown to engage in conversation with one another on-screen (the closest to it being Mima telling Marisa to "train harder" in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' and Marisa's cheerfulness when she defeats her). ZUN doesn't answer any questions regarding their relationship, but says that Marisa's attitude towards Mima is easy to understand.<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 3]]</ref> <br />
<br />
===Three Fairies of Light===<br />
The [[Three Fairies of Light]] live in the [[Forest of Magic]], and knew about Marisa before they'd formally met. Originally, Marisa considered the three fairies to be normal, unremarkable fairies when Marisa caught them playing pranks on Reimu and herself. However, after the fairies became Marisa's first customers at her shop where she liberated their house from [[Tsuchinoko]], Marisa and the three fairies took a liking to each other, and became friendly acquaintances.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Marisa began to join in on their games and sometimes even play pranks on them. The fairies refer to her by her first name, showing familiarity, and are close enough to her that they'll actually cling to her for warmth in the winter. In ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', under the influence of alcohol, Marisa had the three fairies physically hanging off of and clinging to her for protection. Reimu seemed a bit perplexed at this sight, and started referring to them as "those fairies" that Marisa always had hanging around. Marisa and the fairies sometimes team up to play pranks on Reimu as well. In general, the fairies are very friendly towards Marisa, and now see her as their "guardian" of sorts. They are mainly friendly since Marisa doesn't show hostility to them.<br />
<br />
Marisa is initially unable to see the fairies' house. To all [[human]]s, fairy homes appear to be normal trees, even if they're actual houses from a fairy's point of view. However, for unexplained reasons, by the time of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', she's able to detect which tree is their new house simply by looking at it from a distance. Marisa herself seems surprised she can do this, given it's not something "ordinary humans" are typically capable of, even those with a sense of magic. She gives the fairies a cheerful nod and keeps it a secret from Reimu, who was attempting to find their house to evict them.<br />
<br />
Marisa also appeared in Sangetsusei's supplementary shooting game ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' as one of the bosses.<br />
<br />
===Kirisame Family===<br />
Marisa's family runs a large second-hand shop in the [[Human Village]], called the "Kirisame Shop".<ref name="CoLACh19" /> Marisa has broken off relations with her family, and avoids everything related to them. She says to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] that she'll never go back to them, and refuses to entertain the idea.<ref name="CoLACh07">''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': Chapter 7</ref><br />
<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', it's stated that her family is a private matter and the details are unclear. The book also hypothesizes that since the Kirisame Shop doesn't handle things related to magic items, it may be one reason why Marisa left. What the Kirisame Shop actually sells and the organisation of the family haven't been made clear. Due to this, her family has been an area of wide speculation. However, [[Marisa's unnamed father|her father]] has been confirmed to visit [[Kourindou]] on rare occasion. None of her family members have been mentioned by name.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Satori Komeiji]] and [[Koishi Komeiji]]<br />
After the events of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' in her scenarios with Nitori Kawashiro and Patchouli Knowledge, Marisa impressed Koishi enough with her strength that she's allowed to come and play at the [[Palace of Earth Spirits]] at any time. She may say she's a friend of Satori to get everyone down there to leave her alone, because all the underground [[youkai]] hate Satori. Although Marisa and Satori tend to put each other at unease at times, Marisa looks forward to being able to go underground whenever she wants to.<br />
<br />
;Mimi-chan<br />
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Marisa is [[Mimi-chan]]'s owner, and thinks Mimi's cute. She knows that Mimi-chan's a weapon from [[Yumemi Okazaki]]'s world, but has no idea how to use her, and thus rides on Mimi. If she knew anything about how a intercontinental ballistic missile works, she probably wouldn't be doing so.<br />
<br />
;[[Tsuchinoko]]<br />
Marisa took in Tsuchinoko as a pet in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' chapter 10. She thinks he's too cute to exterminate, and doesn't see why a human couldn't keep [[youkai]] as pets.<br />
<br />
;[[Byakuren Hijiri]]<br />
Byakuren is a [[magician]], much like Marisa, although is much more experienced and has become a youkai while Marisa has yet to do so. Despite an initial disagreement and misunderstanding over the status of youkai and humans in the Marisa A ending of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', Byakuren liked Marisa's direct personality, and in thanks for Marisa's help in breaking the seal, instructed [[Minamitsu Murasa]] to take Marisa to and from [[Makai]] whenever Marisa wanted. She also told Marisa that, as a magician, she could come see Byakuren if she ever had any trouble. It's unknown if the [[Palanquin Ship]]'s conversion into a temple affected the arrangement.<br />

<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*Marisa's face was shown on most of the [[Windows]] game icons on the <tt>.exe</tt> files. This excludes the spin-off fighters, ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' and ''[[Violet Detector]]''.<br />
*Marisa is the second most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games after Reimu. This is because the two appeared in every game, but Marisa didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and ''[[Gold Rush]]'', which Reimu did. Various exceptions would show to change these statistics such as ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', in which both characters didn't appear (but Marisa was used on the .exe's icon), but the two appeared in an afterword story, and ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' had only Marisa, but Reimu was still shown in a cameo.<br />
*Marisa has seven theme musics (excluding remixes), making her the character with the most theme songs.<br />
*Marisa has appeared on the covers of ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', and ''[[Lotus Land Story]]'', as well as on the poster for ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''.<br />
*In ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', the shot-type of Marisa B uses two lines of green arrows as danmaku. Due to a mistake in the game's code, the right line deals about ten times more damage than normal if the player is unfocused (not holding Shift) and has between 3.00 and 3.99 power.<br />
*According to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], Marisa was inspired to use star-themed magic after a meteor shower viewing party around the year 2001. Marisa's strategy guide in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s omake says her third attack uses star magic, but she only starts to use star magic as her main motif beginning with ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''. This would imply that the last 3 PC-98 games don't take place in their release years.<br />
*According to [[Hieda no Akyuu]], Marisa may become a youkai magician like [[Alice Margatroid]] due to the high amount of magic she possesses.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In ''Imperishable Night'', she did express interest in immortality and eternal youth.<br />
*Marisa may be somewhat of a mathematical genius; in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' she utters the line "I could recite all the digits in pi before I got there." However, considering that pi has a literally infinite number of digits which never end or repeat in any pattern, it's likely just an expression to say "at this rate I'll never get there."<br />
*Marisa holds the distinction of being one of the very few characters in any Touhou game who's known to have a living family.<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Marisa survives looking at the full [[moon]], which should drive normal [[human]]s insane. When Alice asks if she's alright, she says that it's alright since she's insane to begin with. She might well be joking, since [[Reimu Hakurei]] maintains her sanity looking at the full moon too. It could be that humans who are strong-willed enough can overcome that influence.<br />
*In both ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', Marisa lacks her signature bomb move, Master Spark. She regains her Master Spark as a bomb in the following game ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''.<br />
*One of her alternate palettes in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' resembles [[Ellen]] from ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.<br />
*One of her alternate palettes in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' resembles her PC-98 outfit.<br />
*Marisa was first seen using a wand in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', and ''[[Lotus Land Story]]''. She's not seen with a wand again until ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', which is so far the only [[Windows]] game where she's seen with one.<br />
*Marisa seems knowledgeable about species not native to Japan such as the [[wikipedia:Beaver|beaver]] in Chapter 4 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' and the [[wikipedia:Rafflesia|rafflesia]] in Chapter 14 of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]''.<br />
*When introducing herself or asked who she is, Marisa often blatantly lies that she's the [[shrine maiden]] Reimu Hakurei.<br />
*Marisa has copied one of Patchouli's attacks and named it ''Love Sign "Non-Directional Laser"''. <br />

<br />
The unstoppable magician that longs for [[Mima]] and calls her "Mima-sama" (Which part of her is unstoppable, don't ask.) She's quite an ordinary human girl, who can just control some devastating magic. As is the nature of a magician, she's very intelligent, but does ''not'' act cynically nor sets off a Cobalt Bomb while shouting "You insolent [[human]]!!"<br />
<br />
This time, she is interested in the magic power flowing out of the Fantastic Ruins.<br />

She looks even younger than [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]], but their ages are very close.<br />

A magical girl living in the east. She's a girl who's attached to power, confident enough to like showing off her power, and is always looking for someone to fight with and someone to mock.<br />
<br />
However, the truth is she's a hard worker and her power is the result of her secret training.<br />
<br />
Because of this, she often gets jealous of Reimu who never trains but still exceeds Marisa with her talent alone, and always tries to get in Reimu's way.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, Marisa is very attached to Reimu at the same time, so much that she'd die of boredom without her.<br />

魔法使いの宿命として、人々の生活から離れて暮らしている少女。<br /><br />
基本的に、頭は切れるが、それを自分の生活に生かしていない。<br /><br />
人間が忘れ去ろうとしている存在なので、自分から人間に干渉しようとはしない。好きなことをやっていれば満足なのである。<br /><br />

| translation = '''The Strange Magician, Marisa Kirisame'''<br />
<br />
A girl who lives in isolation from other people, as is the fate of a magician. <br><br />
Basically, her wits are sharp, but she generally does not make the best use of them in her daily life. <br><br />
As a being whom humans are going to forget about, she is not going to interfere with them willingly. She's content doing the things she likes. <br><br />
Above all else, [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]] is her favorite "plaything"<ref>The word used here is 大好物 (daikoubutsu). It literally means "favorite thing", but the word usually refers to a "favorite food" or an actual object. When used in the context of a person, it gives the implication of seeing the other person like an object, like a toy. With the context of her being contrarian and a "bad person" in the おまけ.txt, the meaning likely comes to Marisa seeing Reimu as a "plaything", though still a bit ambiguous.</ref> (?), so she often goes out to mess with her.<br />
<br />
Her weapons are magic. They make everything in life play.<br />

Ability: Manipulation of magic<br />
<br />
This girl is also one of the protagonists. These two (Marisa and [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]]) are the heroines of the [[Touhou]] series.<br />
<br />
Marisa has a very contrarian, uncooperative personality, and she really is a pretty bad person. <br><br />
Although she's [[human]], she remains distant from other humans. It's questionable as to whether she really is human, but she is.<br />
<br />
This time she's wearing something resembling an apron, so it's hard to tell if she's a magician or what.<br />

最近の一番の大魔法は、自宅の地下に温泉脈を召喚し床暖房の代わりにした事。<br />

| translation = '''Ordinary Magician, Marisa Kirisame'''<br />
<br />
An ordinary girl. The cold weather (or rather, the extra layers of clothing) weakens her abilities somewhat.<br />
<br />
Her motivation in life is developing uses for magic that aren't beneficial to society. Also eco-friendly, too.<br />
<br />
One of her recent great magic spells summoned a hot spring vein underneath her house to use as a floor-heating device.<br />
<br />
She's actually a hard worker, as well as an avid collector.<br />
<br />
There are many precious grimoires and other magic items she has collected from all sorts of places all around her house. However, she doesn't use them.<br />
<br />
Magic is her weapon. For the time being, her aim is to create a new elixir.<br />
<br />
:Both of her [[spell card]] types are certainly not lacking in damage. She's also the character with the highest speed.<br />
:"Magic Napalm" isn't very effective against moving targets.<br />
:Love Sign's "Illusion Laser" continues to hit enemies with its afterimage, so it's easy to continuously damage the enemy, making it quite useful.<br />
:Also, "Master Spark" is a powerful bomb that can deal the highest damage with good stability.<br />

年々、蒐集癖が酷くなっていく気がする。<br />
<br />
滅多に人を招き入れる事の無い霧雨邸は、幻想郷の森(通称 魔法の森)の中にある。こぢんまりとした建物である。<br /><br />
建物の中は、とてつもなく雑然としていて、地震でもあればアイテムの雪崩に押しつぶされそうである。<br />
<br />
マジックアイテムは一箇所に集めると、それぞれが干渉して性質を弱めたり強めたり、また、別の性質を持つ事がある。この家には魔理沙も知らない力を持ったアイテムが眠っているかもしれない。<br />

'''Marisa Kirisame'''<br />
<br />
Mainly she possesses the ability to use magic.<br />
<br />
A bit of an ordinary [[magician]] living in [[Gensokyo]]. She has a mania for collecting things.<br />
<br />
It looks like her mania for collecting things is getting more serious after each year.<br />
<br />
Her house, which she rarely invites anyone into by the way, is located in the forests of [[Gensokyo]] (a.k.a. [[Forest of Magic]]). It's a bit on the smallish side. The interior is extremely disordered, and would cause an avalanche of collected items if an earthquake hit.<br />
<br />
When magic items are gathered in one place they tend to interfere with each other, causing their powers to amplify, weaken, or in some cases even develop completely different powers. Due to this fact, this house may hide items that even Marisa herself never imagined possible.<br />
<br />
On another topic, the elixir she had been secretly developing during the winter ended up being too large for consumption. More improvement is required.<br />

能力:魔法を使う程度の能力<br />
<br />
普通の魔法使いさん。人が余り寄りつかない魔法の森にある家に籠もって、日々魔法の研究を続けている。<br />
<br />
性格は、負けず嫌いで意地の悪い所もあるが、根は真っ直ぐ。何処に行っても迷惑がられるが、実際に迷惑な行動も多い。<br />
<br />
森に籠もる理由の一つは、人が寄りつかないからである。研究中に邪魔が入って欲しくないし、人に会いたいときは自分から出掛ければいい。掛ける専用の携帯電話みたいな物である。でも、余所では色々と邪魔をする。何処に言ってもだ。<br />
<br />
スピードとパワーはあるが、体術は余り得意ではない。移動は速くてもいかんせん技が重い。パワーは魔法を纏う事で必要以上にカバーしている。<br />

<br />
Species: [[Human]]<br />
<br />
Location: The Kirisame household in the [[Forest of Magic]]<br />
<br />
Ability: Ability to use magic<br />
<br />
An ordinary [[magician]]. She usually cloisters herself in her house located at the [[Forest of Magic]], where there are almost no visitors, and researches magic.<br />
<br />
Her personality is unyielding and obstinate, but deep down she is an honest person. She's treated like an annoyance wherever she goes, but in fact she often causes the annoyance to begin with.<br />
<br />
One of the reasons she stays in the forest is because no one bothers to go there. She doesn't want to be disturbed while she's doing research, and when she wants to meet others she can always go there herself. She's like a send-only cell phone. However, she causes a disturbance at other places, wherever she goes.<br />
<br />
She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique. While her movement is fast, her attacks are slow. She covers for her lack of physical strength with magic, but the amount of enhancement is actually overkill.<br />

A magician.<br />
<br />
A [[human]] living in the [[Forest of Magic]]. She can use magic.<br />
<br />
She spends her days rummaging through the items and books in her house, trying to develop magic that would be useful for cleaning her disheveled room. Needless to say, she hasn't had any success.<br />
<br />
She's a hard worker, as well as a collector.<br />
<br />
She hates losing, but she also dislikes those who clearly hates losing. What a troublesome person who hates losing.<br />
<br />
Her weapon is magic. When in the dark, she lights up the surroundings with magic.<br />
<br />
:''Notes''<br />
:She teams with [[Alice Margatroid|Alice]] in this title.<br />
:Focused speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.<br />
:Her missile's explosion deals a good amount of damage, so it's useful for shooting swarms of enemy familiars down.<br />
:It will kill most enemies instantly.<br />
:Recommended for players who don't care for subtlety.<br />

She's an ordinary [[magician]] living in [[Gensokyo]]. She also has a mania for collecting things.<br />
<br />
No one has any business in the [[Forest of Magic]], so she lives there in comfortable solitude while studying to improve her magical ability.<br />
You might imagine witches as being indoor-type people, but Marisa is a rather active outdoor-type person. She prefers a lively atmosphere over silence, but still doesn't like to be disturbed when she's studying. The [[Forest of Magic]] is the perfect place for her because almost no one bothers to visit her there. Marisa would also like to point out that, "Concealing my half-finished works is ''not'' the reason I'm living in there."<br />

A bit past midnight, she felt a disturbance ripple through the forest. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, and she was right. Many hours later, it was still as dark as midnight, long past the time for dawn, as though the night was everlasting. She left home in a hurry to investigate this interesting night... and was a little too impatient when she met the people responsible for the unnaturally long night.<br />

<br />
An ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She also has a mania for collecting things.<br />
<br />
Her [[Mini-Hakkero]] shoots intense flames. Fearing that it might start emitting fire on its own, she has to keep it outside of her house. The [[Forest of Magic]] is quite humid, so there shouldn't be much danger of starting a forest fire, but...<br />

Compared to Reimu, she seems to be the type who doesn't give a crap. However, she's the one with a serious attitude who's actually caring and hardworking.<br/><br />
She's Reimu's friend, but also Reimu's rival. They both have the same goal when it comes to incident solving but they just have to make it a competition and act on their own. I wish someday they can just work together (so we get to play co-op)! (lol)<br />

{{nihongo|'''Marisa Kirisame'''|霧雨 魔理沙|Kirisame Marisa}} is an ordinary [[human]] [[magician]] who specializes in light and heat magic and currently resides in the [[Forest of Magic]]. Her motto is: "It ain't magic if it ain't flashy. Danmaku's all about firepower,"<ref name="gumon_117-120">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Marisa Kirisame|Marisa Kirisame]]</ref> and she has a compulsive mania for collecting things. She's considered to be the deuteragonist of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' series along with the main protagonist, [[Reimu Hakurei]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Marisa is a common playable character in most games throughout the series with somewhat rare alternative roles such as being an Extra [[stage]] [[boss]]. Her first ever appearance in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' was in the second [[PC-98]] game ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', and she first appeared as a playable character in the third game, ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]''. Additionally, she has made a guest appearance as the first Extra stage boss in the ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
Marisa serves as an audience surrogate of sorts - she is straight-forward and much easier to understand than other characters, typically filling the support role. She also serves as a contrast to Reimu, who's blessed with innate abilities, by being the hard-working type of character without any special powers. [[ZUN]] has said that this makes her a rather "un-Touhou-like" character, but also gives him much more leeway in creating a story.<ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Marisa Kirisame|Strange Creators of Outer World - Marisa Kirisame]]</ref><ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue/Interview with ZUN|Silent Sinner in Blue interview]]</ref><br />
<br />
Marisa's height is that of a girl in her early teens and is in the "fairly short" group.<ref>[[ZUN's E-mails]]</ref>. Unlike [[Patchouli Knowledge]] and [[Alice Margatroid]], who are magicians by species, she's merely an ordinary [[human]] who uses magic. In the games themselves, she's a character who consistently stresses high power and quick speed. She exceeds in attack and penetration power, but her attack range is generally narrow. Her signature move is the tremendous laser [[spell card]], ''Love Sign "Master Spark<nowiki>"</nowiki>''. She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique.<ref>[[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] - ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''</ref><br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
<br />
Outwardly, Marisa is an outgoing and informal individual. She socializes with many inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] and is friendly to both human and non-humans individuals, although still remaining wary around [[youkai]]. She's quick to act if she hears or sees anything interesting; sometimes doing dangerous things to satiate her interest at the time. An example is when she follows an eagle on a whim in the middle of a blizzard.<ref>[[Wild and Horned Hermit]], chapter 10</ref> She speaks in an informal manner and typically uses the sentence ending particle {{nihongo||ぜ|ze}}. "Ze" used at the end of verb stems delivers a "boyish" and "impolite" sound to the listener/reader. ''Ze'' is mostly used in a context to express one's will to act (similar to "let's" in English), and using it in other cases sound somewhat unnatural, perhaps "phony" or "showy".<br />
<br />
In the past, Marisa was known to be a habitual liar. Such as when she claimed to be [[Reimu Hakurei]] to avoid being troubled by [[Flandre Scarlet]] <ref>[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]], Extra Stage</ref> or when she blamed various crimes to [[Alice Margatroid]] to get Reimu out of the way.<ref>[[Imperishable Night]], stage 4</ref> However, she puts no effort into actually deceiving anyone as her lies are extremely obvious. Over time, this tendency to lie has decreased and she's more likely to tell the truth to others. By the time of ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature'', she willingly tells [[Saki Kurokoma]] to come to her place and emphasises that it is not the shrine.<ref>[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]], Marisa's Extra (Eagle)</ref> Although that could be because she was possessed by the proud Eagle spirit.<br />
<br />
She has a mania for collecting things and exhibits knowledge of various valuable and/or magical objects around Gensokyo. She has been frequently seen foraging (or looting) in many places for various materials, be it mushrooms, parts of a dragon, or just whatever she thinks looks interesting at the time. That said, her hoarding habit does result in her not knowing or forgetting what objects are in her house.<br />
<br />
Though she goes to great lengths to hide it,<ref name="gumon_117-120"></ref> Marisa is a hard Working individual who frequently seeks to better herself and seeks to be known as a great magician.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Foreword|Foreword]]</ref> She takes pride in her magic and youkai extermination capabilities, claiming to be "the number two in Gensokyo".<ref>[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]] - Chapter 10</ref> She does indeed care for the sake of Gensokyo and its inhabitants, but conceals it with her rowdiness. In many cases, she is the one who would push Reimu to investigate potential incidents.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
It isn't directly stated how Marisa makes a living. She does state in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> 9th chapter that she regularly goes to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to take away Reimu's [[youkai]] extermination jobs and ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' implies it as well, making it a likely source of income. She's also written a book called ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that reviews various [[spell card]]s by different owners of a spell; she's shown a desire to try and sell the book.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Foreword|Foreword]]</ref><ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Marisa's Script|Marisa's Script]]</ref> She has been shown to peddle magic or lucky charms, the origin of these charms are dubious but she has, at least once, successfully sold a supposedly tanuki-warding pot to a villager. <ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 39</ref><br />
<br />
;Kirisame Magic Shop<br />
Marisa runs a shop for anything as an attachment to her own house. Although it's her primary occupation, she's usually absent. Inside the shop, it's so unimaginably disordered that it becomes like a mini-Forest of Magic.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /><br />
<br />
''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' provides some information on the magic shop.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> Though Marisa is surprisingly honest with her services, refusing to take payment for a failed job, the shop sees little use due to its difficult-to-find location in the [[Forest of Magic]] and the ambiguity of what her services actually are. (In ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'', on the Kirisame Magic Shop's signboard, other than the shop name, nothing is written but "what will you do" ({{lang|ja|なんかします}}).) The [[Three Fairies of Light]] were her first customers to her shop, but ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' implies she's had other customers since then, albeit not many.<br />
<br />
;Burglary<br />
[[File:018Marisa.JPG|thumb|left|150px|Marisa caught committing burglary.]]<br />
According to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', Marisa boldly breaks in from the front and openly says her motto "I'll be borrowing these!" while carrying things off. She mostly steals books, so she might not be the kind who steals money. Her ability to "learn other people's moves" might originate from her nature as a thief.<br />
<br />
As opposed to how she was commented to be a "prowler" in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'', Marisa said: "My life is way shorter than yours anyway, so can't you just take back everythin' after I kick the bucket? I'm just borrowin' until then. It should be good for the stuff I'm taking that way, too." [[Aya Shameimaru]]'s response was "The contents of the excerpt are very human-like and childish".<br />
<br />
In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', Marisa mentions "(being) a thief" concerning the book she stole from [[Patchouli Knowledge]]. In the Extra Stage of that game, [[Koishi Komeiji]] pointed out "Are you the doll-using thief". Afterwards, when there was nobody at the [[Moriya Shrine]], she crept in, but was discovered by [[Kanako Yasaka]] and the others and was harshly punished.<br />
<br />
She tried to steal from [[Kasen Ibaraki]] upon learning about the hermit's treasures, but got lost and was attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after she tried to kill it for its pelt.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
;Magic broom<br />
Marisa flies on a bamboo broom as part of her magician appearance. It's an ordinary broom, but constant exposure to magic has caused a curious growth to begin. Although the bamboo is dead, leaves appear to be sprouting from the handle, independently from Marisa's magic.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In the fighting games, it serves additional purposes - she uses it as a weapon for striking and shooting [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;Mini-Hakkero<br />
{{Main|Mini-Hakkero}}<br />
The mini-Hakkero, Marisa's treasured item, is a furnace that she uses to power her signature ''Master Spark''. From the flame of a table-top stove, to that of a flamethrower, to a powerful and unmatched wide magicannon, the mini-Hakkero has a convenient range of uses.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /><ref>''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'': Chapter number needed</ref> Marisa herself said, "I can't even think of makin' a livin' without it."<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 06|Chapter 6]]</ref> It was given to Marisa by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] as a farewell gift when Marisa left her family to live in the [[Forest of Magic]], even though it'd be risky for a girl of her age to handle.<br />
<br />
A magic lecture related to this item was written as follows:<br />
<blockquote>"While shooting concentrate your mind, gently muttering the spell to the Mini-Hakkero. Aiming at someone you don't like, a magicannon of love will be unleashed! <br />
<br />
— ''[[Imperishable Night]]'': [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 4B#Spell Card 100|Spell card 100]] — Marisa's Magic Lecture</blockquote><br />
<br />
;Magic Wand<br />
Marisa wielded a magic wand during her PC-98 appearances, but afterwards it was not seen again until ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''.<br />
<br />
;Mushroom Item<br />
Marisa carries, concealed in her skirt, a dangerous finished product of mushrooms made from mushroom magic. After throwing the item, it explodes. The fact that she conceals them in her skirt seemed dangerous even to [[Hieda no Akyuu]] as noted in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.<br />
<br />
==Ability and strength==<br />
Marisa is a normal human with no innate abilities, but her true strength lies in her ability to use one of the highest classes of magic power that [[human]]s can use – an unusual feat perhaps only possible because of the effects of the [[Forest of Magic]].<ref name="gumon_117-120"/> She's also faced very powerful humans and [[youkai]] and was able to solve a number of incidents in various scenarios, all being high achievements. However, her existence is closest to an ordinary person; she was born without any innate abilities (unlike [[Reimu Hakurei]]) and has been compared to "humans of a level close to us" by [[ZUN]]. As a result, the interpretations of Marisa's power can go to extremes. She has an attachment to power and has self-belief in ostentatious display of power. She always finds opponents to fight and plays by finding faults. However, she's actually a hard worker, and her power is the result of her secret training.<ref name="SGZUN">''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'': {{lang|ja|創曲幻想}}.txt</ref> For example, Marisa appears to have developed an innate resistance against poisonous substances, due to her gathering of mushrooms and living in the Forest of Magic.<br />
<br />
Despite her small size, Marisa is surprisingly physically strong. In chapter 16 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', she carried out a big computer out of Kourindou in her arms. In ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', she was shown jumping over the walls of the Hieda mansion<ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 7</ref> and was seen climbing youkai mountain manually (instead of just flying)<ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 45</ref>. In Marisa's otter route of ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', [[Urumi Ushizaki]] tried to drown Marisa using her stone baby but ends up being amazed that Marisa is able to hold onto it despite its weight. She was also able to lift [[Sunny Milk]] and hold her up at waist height with only one hand, and without putting any apparent effort in doing so.<ref>[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]] - Chapter 9.5</ref><br />
<br />
===Using magic===<br />
[[File:SSiBArtChapter191.jpg|thumb|192px|Marisa in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
Marisa has trained herself in magic that specialises in light and heat. She's an Eastern [[magician]] who takes a Western approach to magic, the opposite of [[Patchouli Knowledge]]. Her magic has tremendous power and few weaknesses, but it has few non-destructive uses, so she uses it for flashy youkai extermination more than anything. Her magic makes for a good danmaku show, but this is made possible only through her strenuous honest effort in creating layered effects. The majority of her spells rely on power over finesse and are themed after stars and other astronomical phenomena. According to ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', it's strange for a human to have mastery of magic of this level.<br />
<br />
Marisa picks and collects various exotic mushrooms that live in the [[Forest of Magic]]. She boils them, crushes them, dries them, and furthermore mixes them, making strange chemicals or medicine. By heating them, submerging them into water, or by throwing things in directly, through trial and error, she finds a pattern from which magic-like materials come forth. Success or failure, she records the details of each experiment.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In her house, there are a ton of various handmade grimoires.<br />
<br />
Prior to starting her research in ''The Grimoire of Marisa'', Marisa did not use complex slave-type attacks, as she was only capable of using slaves that circle around her (her guest appearance in ''Shuusou Gyoku'' notwithstanding).<ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Cards|The Grimoire of Marisa - Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Cards]]</ref><ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards|The Grimoire of Marisa - Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Flying===<br />
[[File:ThGK Kakashi4.jpg|thumb|200px|Fight between Marisa and [[Cirno]] in ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', as shown in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
Marisa is almost always depicted as riding on her broom when she flies in the sky. In the fighting spinoffs prior to ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' she rides a broom only during some of her assault skills, like ''Witch Leyline'' and ''Stardust Reverie''. However, the more recent aerial fighters show Marisa making an extensive and continuous use of her broom, to the point that there isn't a single moment in which she isn't riding or holding it. In ''Great Fairy Wars'', her broom is nowhere in sight. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' states she uses the magic broom to ride around on because she believes it's an essential tool for a magician. It was originally a normal broom but sprouted leaves as a side effect of Marisa using it in magic rituals. <br />
<br />
In the [[PC-98]] games, she's typically shown to use a vine in place of her broom in her boss appearances (with the notable exception of ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'' where she has illusionary wings instead), but her ''Lotus Land Story'' and ''Mystic Square'' endings show her using a broom. In ''Shuusou Gyoku'', she's depicted with angel wings.<br />
<br />
===Speed===<br />
Marisa seems to take pride in her own speed,<ref name "MoF cross">[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Introduction of Previous Works/Mountain of Faith/Cross Review]]</ref> which is potentially among the fastest for a human. When she used ''Double Spark'' against [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]], she moved some meters away from the first laser fast enough that she was able to shoot a second one before the first reached the Moon princess.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] - Chapter 15</ref> However, [[ZUN]] has mentioned that [[Aya Shameimaru]] is the fastest in [[Gensokyo]], and Marisa appears to consider Aya extremely fast,<ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Aya Shameimaru's Spell Cards]]</ref> and a worthy challenger in terms of speed,<ref name "MoF cross" /> so while there is the idea that Marisa is really fast, there might be other characters that are faster than her.<br />
<br />
Marisa's high speed is echoed in the games, usually by giving her the fastest or one of the fastest movement speed.<br />
<br />
===Learning other people's moves===<br />
[[File:Marisa'sCopyComparison.png|thumb|200px|A comparison between the originator of an attack and Marisa's copy of it.]]<br />
Marisa's ''Love Sign "Non-directional Laser"'' was copied from [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s regular attack from ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' as confirmed by [[ZUN]].<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'': [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 4B#Spell Card 087|spell card 087]]</ref> Other than that, there are also others suggested to have been stolen; ''Love Sign "Master Spark"'' greatly resembles [[Yuuka Kazami]]'s and [[Gengetsu]]'s laser from ''[[Lotus Land Story]]'', her "Orreries Sun" resembles [[Mima]]'s orreries, and "Cold Inferno" resembles [[Remilia Scarlet]]'s familiar in ''[[Imperishable Night]]''. However, there's no official evidence that these are copied moves.<br />
<br />
It's unknown if Marisa is inherently talented at imitating others' moves, or if she simply manages to do so due to sheer effort. She uses her [[mini-Hakkero]] to use the Master Spark, while Yuuka uses her version of the laser through other means.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards|Marisa Kirisame's spell cards]]</ref> Thus, her copying of the Master Spark seems more analogous to a person copying a fire-breathing dragon by using a flamethrower rather than a person copying a fire-breathing dragon by breathing flames merely through observation. Marisa also states that she can't imitate [[Kaguya Houraisan]]'s spell cards as they use special items that she doesn't possess.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Cards|Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Cards]]</ref> In that case, it's analogous to a person being unable to copy a fire-breathing dragon since there are no devices on hand.<br />
<br />
It's unlikely her implied tendency to copy other's moves is abnormal, as magicians such as Marisa build upon the work of others. Marisa claims in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that it's "magicians who build on observation", while [[Patchouli Knowledge]] uses the pride of magicians to add their own original touch to another's work while preserving and respecting the original.<ref name="SSiBCh6">''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Chapter 6</ref> Magicians seek the truth according to Patchouli.<ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Patchouli's Script|Patchouli's Script]]</ref> They act like researchers in this sense, building upon the work of others. However, other magicians such as Patchouli and [[Alice Margatroid]] haven't been depicted using imitations as blatant as Marisa's for spell cards.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS marisa.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Marisa, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Marisa Kirisame''|霧雨 魔理沙}}. Her surname {{nihongo||霧雨|Kirisame|lit. "mist rain"}} means "[[wikipedia:drizzle|drizzle]]" in Japanese. The [[wikipedia:kanji|kanji]] used in her given name {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:魔|魔]]|ma}} is highly likely to come from the "ma" in {{nihongo||'''魔'''法|'''ma'''hou|"magic"}} and with {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:理|理]]|ri}} able to be interpreted as {{nihongo|"logic/law/theory"|理|kotowari}}, it can be said that they deliver the idea of her being a magician. In addition, the kanji {{nihongo||沙|sa|lit. "small sand"}} doesn't have an actual meaning, but it's often used in Japanese given names to get the sound/look of "girlishness" (different kanji, but the same idea is used in [[Minamitsu Murasa]]'s name too).<br />
<br />
''[[Wikipedia:Marisa (given name)|Marisa]]'' is also a female given name with origins in the Romance languages, which is a variant of Latin "[[wiktionary:maris|maris]]", meaning "of the sea", but may also mean "manly". If her name was based on this, then it's very likely to indicate Marisa's character being a mix of both Eastern and Western cultures.<br />
<br />
''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'' had her name written as {{lang|ja|魔'''[[wiktionary:梨|梨]]'''沙}} in-game, with the kanji meaning "pear". In that game's attached text files and bad endings it was written as {{lang|ja|魔'''理'''沙}}. Since then, her name is still written as {{lang|ja|魔'''理'''沙}}, so {{lang|ja|魔'''梨'''沙}} was likely a typo.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
<br />
In general, Marisa is depicted with blonde hair and yellow eyes. She wears clothes with a black and white color scheme, consisting of a black vest and skirt, white waist apron and undershirt, and a black witch hat with a white bow. Her hair is commonly braided on one side with a bow on the end. She sometimes wears dark blue clothes instead, such as in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'', ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', or the fighting game spin offs from ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' onwards.<br />
<br />
Her exact appearance vary slightly between games and print works, such as having differently colored hat bows, varying hair length and style, and different aprons. In ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she wears a white full apron with black undershirt. In ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', she wears a pink capelet and has no braid. In ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' and ''[[Ten Desires]]'', her bows are purple. She wears dark blue clothes with a blue capelet in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Her outfit in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' has brown apron with an 'M', brown hat bow, a red bowtie, and she carries a wand. She wears a crescent moon accessory on her chest in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. She has pink scarf and gloves and has snowflake patterns on her apron in ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]''. In ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', she has cat-shaped patterns on her clothes.<br />
<br />
During the [[PC-98]] era, her debut appearance in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'' has her depicted with red hair and eyes and wearing a purple witch's outfit with a white bow on her hat (Due to the PC-98's limited colour space, purple was often used to stand-in for black outside lineart.). However her appearance changes in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]'' into having blonde hair and yellow eyes more similar to her current design. This appearance stays with her for the rest of the series. Her clothes are black in Mystic Square.<br />
<br />

In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Marisa appeared as a [[stage]] Ex target, where she uses a few [[spell card]]s and had [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] take photos of her and her [[danmaku]].<br />

:{{Main|Fairy Wars/Story/Extra|l1=Fairy Wars Marisa Arc}}<br />
Marisa appears as the Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Fairy Wars]]''. While Marisa is returning from a flower-viewing session, [[Cirno]] shows up and asks for a fight due to Aya suggesting that Cirno should fight a human. Marisa doesn't take the request very seriously at first, but she decides to fight using her non-deadly lasers. Surprisingly, Cirno puts up a good fight and actually manages to defeat Marisa, although Cirno appears to be defeated instead, even though Marisa was going easy on her. Marisa just heads back home after the fight to rest.<br />

<br />

After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], she becomes one of the many strong [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]]. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
<br />
;''Urban Legend in Limbo''<br />
Marisa appears as a playable character in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''. She was originally shown on a leaflet with various urban Japanese youkai with a torch/flashlight as though she's telling a spooky story. In the scenario, she discovered a phenomenon at [[Kourindou]] and took its power as herselves. [[Reimu Hakurei]] finds Marisa and wanted her to taste some mushrooms for poison, but Marisa attacked her with occult power. Reimu was confused, seeing a bizarre ball of sort. <br />
<br />
;''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' <br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Marisa suddenly finds herself posessed by [[Koishi Komeiji]]. Although neither seems to know how it happened, the duo decides to stick together and have fun with Perfect Posession. They wind up meeting the culprits of the incident, [[Joon Yorigami|Joon]] and [[Shion Yorigami]]. The disasterous sisters use their magic to exchange teammates, and Marisa is doomed to failure with Shion at her side.<br />
<br />
Marisa's [[Dream World]] self appears in Joon and Shion's route, complaining that she never gets to play the lead role in incidents like [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Yukari Yakumo]] do.<br />
<br />
;''Violet Detector''<br />
The [[Dream World]] Marisa appears in front of [[Sumireko Usami]] and, without explanation, tell her to attack her as "Otherwise, you'll never get out of here (refering to the Dream World)"<br />

Marisa made a guest appearance as the first Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', a [[danmaku]] game series by the doujin circle "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]", to which [[ZUN]] contributed music. To add to this, [[Yuuka Kazami]] made a guest appearances in the next Seihou game, ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have no view towards the [[Seihou World]]; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery, but she's aware of what the [[Holy Grail]] is. Curious why [[VIVIT]] and her master [[Erich]] want the grail, she fights her, but is defeated. She was then thudded by [[Reimu Hakurei]] for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Her way of speech indicates that this appearance was between ''[[Mystic Square]]'' and ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''.<br />

;''The Grimoire of Marisa'' <br />
Marisa Kirisame is the author of [[Grimoire of Marisa]], Inspired by [[Aya Shameimaru|a certain tengu's]] [[Shoot_the_Bullet/Translation/Afterword|notebook]]. She wrote down a [[danmaku]] grimoire researching the spell cards of others hoping to acquire hints for new magic or, failing that, at least be able to sell the book to a library for a pretty price. The grimoire itself contains her commentaries of various character's spell cards and some of her own as well as explanations of spell card types and danmaku types.<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit'' <br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', Marisa regularly visits the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to talk about recent happenings, attending whatever festival happens at the time, or simply visiting Reimu. Marisa was the one who originally invited [[Kasen Ibaraki]] to visit the Hakurei Shrine more often, wishing to learn life extending techniques from the hermit, much to Reimu's reluctance.<br />
<br />
In chapter 10, Marisa goes to the mountains to search for Hahakigi's Otherworld (actually Kasen's marker tree for her pet eagle, [[Kanda]]) and was caught in the middle of a blizzard. She ends up straying into Kasen's hidden residence by following Kanda on a whim. Despite the near death experience, she later tries to return to Kasen's house but ends up being attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after trying to kill it for its pelt.<br />
<br />
In chapter 28, Marisa was found by Kasen in [[Former Hell]] wanting to see the underworld cherries. Kasen gave her a scolding and warned her against going there.<br />
<br />
In chapter 34, due to Reimu seemingly having an illness caused by exhaustion (actually due to her pulling all-nighters reading books from [[Suzunaan]]), Marisa took it upon herself to cook rare food, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conium_maculatum hemlock] salad, to help Reimu regain her spirit. The success of her cooking is debatable. Later, after [[Sumireko Usami]] summoned a flying saucer to the shrine, Marisa and Kasen spots an Unidentified Flying Object in the sky.<br />
<br />
In chapter 41, prior to the events of ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]'', it was Marisa who warned Reimu that an incident is happening.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery'' <br />
Marisa is a main character in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]''. In the first chapter she was the one who explained about Youma books to Reimu and reporting its appearance in [[Suzunaan]]. Afterwards she is shown frequently visiting Suzunaan and the human village, either for her own needs or to resolve incidents with Reimu or on her own.<br />
<br />
She has a winter outfit unique to Forbidden Scrollery, consisting of a black coat over a white frilly skirt.<br />

:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Kakashi Spirit News 4|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism Article: Marisa}}<br />
In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Marisa acts as the moderator for the symposium that involve [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]], and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. She'll usually start off a question to a discussion and will sometimes make her own comments. She also appeared in an article that's dedicated to a fight against [[Cirno]] which happened in ''[[Fairy Wars]]''. This made [[Hatate Himekaidou]] worried of how much stronger [[human]]s have become.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Marisa has met a major amount of [[characters]] that have appeared within the ''[[Touhou Project]]''.<br />
<br />
===Reimu Hakurei===<br />
[[File:GoMIllus-Reimu.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa fighting, as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''.]]<br />
[[File:SSiBArtWallpaper1.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa, in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]] Reimu is Marisa's closest friend, as well as her rival when it comes to youkai extermination and incident resolution. Although it was originally Reimu's job to solely handle incidents, Marisa has taken on many of the responsibilities as well, especially in recent years. There were even a number of times when Reimu and Marisa worked together to resolve incidents. <br />
<br />
When incidents aren't taking place, Marisa can be seen frequently visiting the Hakurei Shrine to hang out with Reimu. Usually for chatting and sometimes staying over for dinner. The Hakurei Shrine is a popular place of activity where festivals and parties are often held, so from time to time Marisa is shown helping Reimu set up for events.<br />
<br />
They first met in [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]], and Marisa seemed to immediately take an interest in Reimu. Throughout the rest of the [[PC-98]] era, Marisa often hangs around the [[Hakurei Shrine]], much like she does in the Windows era.<br />
<br />
Occasionally, Reimu and Marisa will engage in a duel, such as in Stage 4 of [[Imperishable Night]], or in the fighting games such as [[Antimony of Common Flowers]]. Generally, in her fights with Reimu, Marisa wins about 40% of the time.<ref name="CoLACh19">''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': Chapter 19</ref> She was initially jealous of how Reimu never does any training and yet remains strong due to her innate connection to the spiritual world as a shrine maiden, but has since developed her own techniques to match Reimu's in danmaku battle. In such regards to Reimu's immense powers, Marisa named and added a time limit to one of Reimu's signature spells, ''Fantasy Nature''<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards|Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards]]</ref>. She is a peace-keeper of Gensokyo alongside Reimu, aside from a few practical jokes now and then.<br />
<br />
===Alice Margatroid===<br />
[[Alice Margatroid]] is a fellow magician of the [[Forest of Magic]]. They were partners in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', and she also supported Marisa in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. They first fought during the events of ''[[Mystic Square]]'', and later in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have a rivalry of sorts with Marisa, with the two often insulting and fighting each other, yet teaming up on several occasions. For all the bickering the two go through, they seem to be close friends, as Alice once recommended Marisa's shop to the [[Three Fairies of Light]] when they needed some [[youkai]] extermination.<br />
<br />
===Residents of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]===<br />
The residents of the mansion are fully aware of Marisa sneaking into the magic library. They generally look the other way, but various incidents and win quotes from the fighting games show that they'll fight Marisa in a duel if they actually catch her in the act. At other times, they'll simply leave her be, such as the mansion's private moon viewing party, or Marisa's endings in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', where Sakuya even plays along with her, either serving her food or helping to conceal her from [[Remilia Scarlet]]. She's on friendly enough terms that she can walk in without any issue from most of the residents, even if she steals things.<br />
<br />
;Patchouli Knowledge<br />
[[Patchouli Knowledge]] is one of the victims of Marisa's burglary, often having books from her library stolen. Despite that, she was supporting Marisa in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', and they seemed to be on rather good terms. <br />
<br />
;Flandre Scarlet<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', Marisa commented, "sometimes when I sneak into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I run into the little sister. I had to slip by without drawin' her attention, but after goin' through all that to get into the place, I was hopin' I wouldn't run into her." <br />
<br />
===Rinnosuke Morichika===<br />

| footer = Marisa & Kourin on the cover of Chapters 6 & 7 in ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]''.<br />
}}<br />
[[Rinnosuke Morichika]] worked for Marisa's father at his shop as an apprentice in the Human Village before leaving to start [[Kourindou]] over eleven years ago before Marisa was born, and he's known her since she was small. Judging from [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'s 22nd chapter, she must have known him in person since at least around 2001, and the 6th chapter shows that Marisa once eavesdropped on a conversation between Rinnosuke and her father during one of Rinnosuke's rare visits to the Kirisame residence when she was "very young". Marisa thinks Rinnosuke is stiff with her because of her family, but the truth is Rinnosuke keeps his guard up with her because he doesn't want her to suspect when he's lying to her, particularly when it comes to her paying Rinnosuke with items that she collects. <br />
<br />
Rinnosuke sees Marisa as something of an annoyance, as she often imposes herself on him and takes what she likes from the store. In return, Marisa views Rinnosuke as being clueless and unable to admit that he doesn't understand many of the Outside World objects he identifies as part of his role at [[Kourindou]]. Despite that, they're still on friendly terms. He also created and later gave her the mini-[[hakkero]]. She's also the only one to call him by his nickname "Kourin", signifying either familiarity or Marisa's trademark impolite nature.<br />
<br />
Because of Marisa's collecting habits, Rinnosuke is often able to get valuable things she picks up for quite cheap, either because Marisa is unaware of its true value, or she has no need for it. However, he does feel somewhat bad about it.<ref name="cola7">[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 07|Curiosities of Lotus Asia: Chapter 7]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Nitori Kawashiro===<br />
[[Nitori Kawashiro]] knows Marisa from the events of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', and fancies herself as a friend of Marisa's. She was a support character option in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Nitori herself has a fondness for humans, and Marisa has a respect for technology, and the pair of them get along well enough because of it. Nitori and her fellow [[kappa]] are seen working with Marisa in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', possibly for mutual business purposes.<br />
<br />
===Mima===<br />
{{main|Canon}}<br />
In the PC-98 games, Marisa is subservient to [[Mima]]. She admires her greatly, boasting that "Lady Mima cannot be beaten" in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<nowiki>'s omake</nowiki> and apologizing to her when defeated by [[Reimu Hakurei]]. Mima is currently the only character to be addressed honorifically by Marisa. Additionally, she takes some inspiration from Mima, sharing her attack patterns using magical orbs (as well as using them in her ''Orreries Sun'' spell card) and using illusionary wings similar to hers in ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream''. However, they are never shown to engage in conversation with one another on-screen (the closest to it being Mima telling Marisa to "train harder" in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' and Marisa's cheerfulness when she defeats her). ZUN doesn't answer any questions regarding their relationship, but says that Marisa's attitude towards Mima is easy to understand.<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 3]]</ref> <br />
<br />
===Three Fairies of Light===<br />
The [[Three Fairies of Light]] live in the [[Forest of Magic]], and knew about Marisa before they'd formally met. Originally, Marisa considered the three fairies to be normal, unremarkable fairies when Marisa caught them playing pranks on Reimu and herself. However, after the fairies became Marisa's first customers at her shop where she liberated their house from [[Tsuchinoko]], Marisa and the three fairies took a liking to each other, and became friendly acquaintances.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Marisa began to join in on their games and sometimes even play pranks on them. The fairies refer to her by her first name, showing familiarity, and are close enough to her that they'll actually cling to her for warmth in the winter. In ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', under the influence of alcohol, Marisa had the three fairies physically hanging off of and clinging to her for protection. Reimu seemed a bit perplexed at this sight, and started referring to them as "those fairies" that Marisa always had hanging around. Marisa and the fairies sometimes team up to play pranks on Reimu as well. In general, the fairies are very friendly towards Marisa, and now see her as their "guardian" of sorts. They are mainly friendly since Marisa doesn't show hostility to them.<br />
<br />
Marisa is initially unable to see the fairies' house. To all [[human]]s, fairy homes appear to be normal trees, even if they're actual houses from a fairy's point of view. However, for unexplained reasons, by the time of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', she's able to detect which tree is their new house simply by looking at it from a distance. Marisa herself seems surprised she can do this, given it's not something "ordinary humans" are typically capable of, even those with a sense of magic. She gives the fairies a cheerful nod and keeps it a secret from Reimu, who was attempting to find their house to evict them.<br />
<br />
Marisa also appeared in Sangetsusei's supplementary shooting game ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' as one of the bosses.<br />
<br />
===Kirisame Family===<br />
Marisa's family runs a large second-hand shop in the [[Human Village]], called the "Kirisame Shop".<ref name="CoLACh19" /> Marisa has broken off relations with her family, and avoids everything related to them. She says to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] that she'll never go back to them, and refuses to entertain the idea.<ref name="CoLACh07">''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': Chapter 7</ref><br />
<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', it's stated that her family is a private matter and the details are unclear. The book also hypothesizes that since the Kirisame Shop doesn't handle things related to magic items, it may be one reason why Marisa left. What the Kirisame Shop actually sells and the organisation of the family haven't been made clear. Due to this, her family has been an area of wide speculation. However, [[Marisa's unnamed father|her father]] has been confirmed to visit [[Kourindou]] on rare occasion. None of her family members have been mentioned by name.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Satori Komeiji]] and [[Koishi Komeiji]]<br />
After the events of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' in her scenarios with Nitori Kawashiro and Patchouli Knowledge, Marisa impressed Koishi enough with her strength that she's allowed to come and play at the [[Palace of Earth Spirits]] at any time. She may say she's a friend of Satori to get everyone down there to leave her alone, because all the underground [[youkai]] hate Satori. Although Marisa and Satori tend to put each other at unease at times, Marisa looks forward to being able to go underground whenever she wants to.<br />
<br />
;Mimi-chan<br />
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Marisa is [[Mimi-chan]]'s owner, and thinks Mimi's cute. She knows that Mimi-chan's a weapon from [[Yumemi Okazaki]]'s world, but has no idea how to use her, and thus rides on Mimi. If she knew anything about how a intercontinental ballistic missile works, she probably wouldn't be doing so.<br />
<br />
;[[Tsuchinoko]]<br />
Marisa took in Tsuchinoko as a pet in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' chapter 10. She thinks he's too cute to exterminate, and doesn't see why a human couldn't keep [[youkai]] as pets.<br />
<br />
;[[Byakuren Hijiri]]<br />
Byakuren is a [[magician]], much like Marisa, although is much more experienced and has become a youkai while Marisa has yet to do so. Despite an initial disagreement and misunderstanding over the status of youkai and humans in the Marisa A ending of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', Byakuren liked Marisa's direct personality, and in thanks for Marisa's help in breaking the seal, instructed [[Minamitsu Murasa]] to take Marisa to and from [[Makai]] whenever Marisa wanted. She also told Marisa that, as a magician, she could come see Byakuren if she ever had any trouble. It's unknown if the [[Palanquin Ship]]'s conversion into a temple affected the arrangement.<br />

<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*Marisa's face was shown on most of the [[Windows]] game icons on the <tt>.exe</tt> files. This excludes the spin-off fighters, ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' and ''[[Violet Detector]]''.<br />
*Marisa is the second most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games after Reimu. This is because the two appeared in every game, but Marisa didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and ''[[Gold Rush]]'', which Reimu did. Various exceptions would show to change these statistics such as ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', in which both characters didn't appear (but Marisa was used on the .exe's icon), but the two appeared in an afterword story, and ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' had only Marisa, but Reimu was still shown in a cameo.<br />
*Marisa has seven theme musics (excluding remixes), making her the character with the most theme songs.<br />
*Marisa has appeared on the covers of ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', and ''[[Lotus Land Story]]'', as well as on the poster for ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''.<br />
*In ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', the shot-type of Marisa B uses two lines of green arrows as danmaku. Due to a mistake in the game's code, the right line deals about ten times more damage than normal if the player is unfocused (not holding Shift) and has between 3.00 and 3.99 power.<br />
*According to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], Marisa was inspired to use star-themed magic after a meteor shower viewing party around the year 2001. Marisa's strategy guide in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s omake says her third attack uses star magic, but she only starts to use star magic as her main motif beginning with ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''. This would imply that the last 3 PC-98 games don't take place in their release years.<br />
*According to [[Hieda no Akyuu]], Marisa may become a youkai magician like [[Alice Margatroid]] due to the high amount of magic she possesses.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In ''Imperishable Night'', she did express interest in immortality and eternal youth.<br />
*Marisa may be somewhat of a mathematical genius; in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' she utters the line "I could recite all the digits in pi before I got there." However, considering that pi has a literally infinite number of digits which never end or repeat in any pattern, it's likely just an expression to say "at this rate I'll never get there."<br />
*Marisa holds the distinction of being one of the very few characters in any Touhou game who's known to have a living family.<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Marisa survives looking at the full [[moon]], which should drive normal [[human]]s insane. When Alice asks if she's alright, she says that it's alright since she's insane to begin with. She might well be joking, since [[Reimu Hakurei]] maintains her sanity looking at the full moon too. It could be that humans who are strong-willed enough can overcome that influence.<br />
*In both ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', Marisa lacks her signature bomb move, Master Spark. She regains her Master Spark as a bomb in the following game ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''.<br />
*One of her alternate palettes in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' resembles [[Ellen]] from ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.<br />
*One of her alternate palettes in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' resembles her PC-98 outfit.<br />
*Marisa was first seen using a wand in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', and ''[[Lotus Land Story]]''. She's not seen with a wand again until ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', which is so far the only [[Windows]] game where she's seen with one.<br />
*Marisa seems knowledgeable about species not native to Japan such as the [[wikipedia:Beaver|beaver]] in Chapter 4 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' and the [[wikipedia:Rafflesia|rafflesia]] in Chapter 14 of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]''.<br />
*When introducing herself or asked who she is, Marisa often blatantly lies that she's the [[shrine maiden]] Reimu Hakurei.<br />
*Marisa has copied one of Patchouli's attacks and named it ''Love Sign "Non-Directional Laser"''. <br />

The unstoppable magician that longs for [[Mima]] and calls her "Mima-sama" (Which part of her is unstoppable, don't ask.) She's quite an ordinary human girl, who can just control some devastating magic. As is the nature of a magician, she's very intelligent, but does ''not'' act cynically nor sets off a Cobalt Bomb while shouting "You insolent [[human]]!!"<br />
<br />
This time, she is interested in the magic power flowing out of the Fantastic Ruins.<br />

She looks even younger than [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]], but their ages are very close.<br />

A magical girl living in the east. She's a girl who's attached to power, confident enough to like showing off her power, and is always looking for someone to fight with and someone to mock.<br />
<br />
However, the truth is she's a hard worker and her power is the result of her secret training.<br />
<br />
Because of this, she often gets jealous of Reimu who never trains but still exceeds Marisa with her talent alone, and always tries to get in Reimu's way.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, Marisa is very attached to Reimu at the same time, so much that she'd die of boredom without her.<br />

魔法使いの宿命として、人々の生活から離れて暮らしている少女。<br /><br />
基本的に、頭は切れるが、それを自分の生活に生かしていない。<br /><br />
人間が忘れ去ろうとしている存在なので、自分から人間に干渉しようとはしない。好きなことをやっていれば満足なのである。<br /><br />

<br />
A girl who lives in isolation from other people, as is the fate of a magician. <br><br />
Basically, her wits are sharp, but she generally does not make the best use of them in her daily life. <br><br />
As a being whom humans are going to forget about, she is not going to interfere with them willingly. She's content doing the things she likes. <br><br />
Above all else, [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]] is her favorite "plaything"<ref>The word used here is 大好物 (daikoubutsu). It literally means "favorite thing", but the word usually refers to a "favorite food" or an actual object. When used in the context of a person, it gives the implication of seeing the other person like an object, like a toy. With the context of her being contrarian and a "bad person" in the おまけ.txt, the meaning likely comes to Marisa seeing Reimu as a "plaything", though still a bit ambiguous.</ref> (?), so she often goes out to mess around with her.<br />
<br />
Her weapons are magic. They make everything in life play.<br />

<br />
This girl is also one of the protagonists. These two (Marisa and [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]]) are the heroines of the [[Touhou]] series.<br />
<br />
Marisa has a very contrarian, uncooperative personality, and she really is a pretty bad person. <br><br />
Although she's [[human]], she remains distant from other humans. It's questionable as to whether she really is human, but she is.<br />
<br />
This time she's wearing something resembling an apron, so it's hard to tell if she's a magician or what.<br />

<br />
An ordinary girl. The cold weather (or rather, the extra layers of clothing) weakens her abilities somewhat.<br />
<br />
Her motivation in life is developing uses for magic that aren't beneficial to society. Also eco-friendly, too.<br />
<br />
One of her recent great magic spells summoned a hot spring vein underneath her house to use as a floor-heating device.<br />
<br />
She's actually a hard worker, as well as an avid collector.<br />
<br />
There are many precious grimoires and other magic items she has collected from all sorts of places all around her house. However, she doesn't use them.<br />
<br />
Magic is her weapon. For the time being, her aim is to create a new elixir.<br />
<br />
:Both of her [[spell card]] types are certainly not lacking in damage. She's also the character with the highest speed.<br />
:"Magic Napalm" isn't very effective against moving targets.<br />
:Love Sign's "Illusion Laser" continues to hit enemies with its afterimage, so it's easy to continuously damage the enemy, making it quite useful.<br />
:Also, "Master Spark" is a powerful bomb that can deal the highest damage with good stability.<br />

年々、蒐集癖が酷くなっていく気がする。<br />
<br />
滅多に人を招き入れる事の無い霧雨邸は、幻想郷の森(通称 魔法の森)の中にある。こぢんまりとした建物である。<br /><br />
建物の中は、とてつもなく雑然としていて、地震でもあればアイテムの雪崩に押しつぶされそうである。<br />
<br />
マジックアイテムは一箇所に集めると、それぞれが干渉して性質を弱めたり強めたり、また、別の性質を持つ事がある。この家には魔理沙も知らない力を持ったアイテムが眠っているかもしれない。<br />
<br />
ちなみに、冬にこもって製作していた丹は、ちょっと大きすぎて飲み込めなかったようである。要改良。<br />

'''Marisa Kirisame'''<br />
<br />
Mainly she possesses the ability to use magic.<br />
<br />
A bit of an ordinary [[magician]] living in [[Gensokyo]]. She has a mania for collecting things.<br />
<br />
It looks like her mania for collecting things is getting more serious after each year.<br />
<br />
Her house, which she rarely invites anyone into by the way, is located in the forests of [[Gensokyo]] (a.k.a. [[Forest of Magic]]). It's a bit on the smallish side. The interior is extremely disordered, and would cause an avalanche of collected items if an earthquake hit.<br />
<br />
When magic items are gathered in one place they tend to interfere with each other, causing their powers to amplify, weaken, or in some cases even develop completely different powers. Due to this fact, this house may hide items that even Marisa herself never imagined possible.<br />
<br />
On another topic, the elixir she had been secretly developing during the winter ended up being too large for consumption. More improvement is required.<br />

性格は、負けず嫌いで意地の悪い所もあるが、根は真っ直ぐ。何処に行っても迷惑がられるが、実際に迷惑な行動も多い。<br />
<br />
森に籠もる理由の一つは、人が寄りつかないからである。研究中に邪魔が入って欲しくないし、人に会いたいときは自分から出掛ければいい。掛ける専用の携帯電話みたいな物である。でも、余所では色々と邪魔をする。何処に言ってもだ。<br />

Ability: Ability to use magic<br />
<br />
An ordinary [[magician]]. She usually cloisters herself in her house located at the [[Forest of Magic]], where there are almost no visitors, and researches magic.<br />
<br />
Her personality is unyielding and obstinate, but deep down she is an honest person. She's treated like an annoyance wherever she goes, but in fact she often causes the annoyance to begin with.<br />
<br />
One of the reasons she stays in the forest is because no one bothers to go there. She doesn't want to be disturbed while she's doing research, and when she wants to meet others she can always go there herself. She's like a send-only cell phone. However, she causes a disturbance at other places, wherever she goes.<br />
<br />
She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique. While her movement is fast, her attacks are slow. She covers for her lack of physical strength with magic, but the amount of enhancement is actually overkill.<br />

She prefers a lively atmosphere over silence, but still doesn't like to be disturbed when she's studying. The [[Forest of Magic]] is the perfect place for her because almost no one bothers to visit her there.

A bit past midnight, she felt a disturbance ripple through the forest. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, and she was right. Many hours later, it was still as dark as midnight, long past the time for dawn, as though the night was everlasting. She left home in a hurry to investigate this interesting night... and was a little too impatient when she met the people responsible for the unnaturally long night.<br />

魔法の森に住む人間。魔法を使う程度の能力を持つ。<br />

幻想郷中を花で包んだ今回の異変も、魔法の森にはその効果が及ばなかった。<br />

森にはそんな気の利いた植物など似合わないのである。<br />

ただ、彼女は森の外で花を楽しんでいるのであまり関係はなかった。<br />

A human living in the [[Forest of Magic]]. She has the ability to use magic.<br />

This disaster, which covered whole [[Gensokyo]] with flowers, didn't affect the forest.<br />
<br />
The forest doesn't need a pretty plant like that, after all.<br />
<br />
That had little effect on her, however, as she enjoys these flowers outside of the forest.<br />

An ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She also has a mania for collecting things.<br />

She seems a bit weird, but in reality she's the most straightforward. She always wears black clothing because she thinks that's what magic-users should do and because it hides dirt very well. Very straightforward.<br />
<br />
This time she's just following Reimu's lead, but since this doesn't look like a typical incident, she's thinking about what she should do when she gets to the mountain.<br />

She has a surprisingly high amount of faith.<br />

An ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She has a mania for collecting things.<br />
<br />
A myriad variety of magic powers were hidden in the cards.<br/><br />
Every single power belonged to a human or youkai that she knew.<br/><br />
Faced with something so interesting, she thought she had to collect them faster than anyone else.<br/><br />
Everyone was bound to do the same. Because, of course, that would make their value shoot right up.<br />

霊夢とは友人でありライバルでもあります。目的も同じで、異変解決するなら二人でやれば良いのにいつも競争するようにバラバラで行動します。二人同時協力プレイ出来たら良いのにね!(笑)<br />
| translation = One of the other protagonist. Reimu is too sloppy to be the only protagonist, so Marisa is designed to be a more human-like character. Compared to Reimu, she seems to be the type who doesn't give a crap. However, she's the one with a serious attitude who's actually caring and hardworking.<br/><br />
She's Reimu's friend, but also Reimu's rival. They both have the same goal when it comes to incident solving but they just have to make it a competition and act on their own. I wish someday they can just work together (so we get to play co-op)! (lol)<br />

'''Nitori Kawashiro''' ({{lang|ja|河城 にとり}} ''Kawashiro Nitori'') is a somewhat shy [[Kappa]] who lives in [[Genbu Ravine]] on [[Youkai Mountain]]. She has the power to control water, and along with the other kappa she is very good with engineering and technology.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
She first appeared as a stage 3 boss in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' and then became a playable partner with [[Marisa Kirisame]] in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. She was later a Day 6 boss in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'', and a playable character in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''. According to [[ZUN]], there were also plans to make her a playable character in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', but she was scrapped due to time constraints.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Nitori is a shy kappa by nature and if she is alone and sees a human, she'll run away, like in Mountain of Faith. She considers herself to be superior to humans and even other youkai and when she's by herself it's easy to see. However, when among her own circle of friends, she is quite cheerful. As a kappa, she is easily persuaded to leave you alone by a cucumber or two. However, she has a greedy side when it comes to running a stand and is quick to come up with plots to maximize profit.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Manipulation of water<br />
Her ability to manipulate water is inherent in the fact that she is a kappa, and has nothing to do with the myriad tools she uses. No one knows the true extent of this power, but she has been seen to use it to shoot water, create fountains, perform theatrical tricks and even summoning colossal tidal waves.<br />
<br />
;Using tools<br />
Akyuu makes a note that kappa, historically, have had an trait called tsuuhai (通背), which means their arms are connected inside their body and they can stretch one arm by retracting the other. However, it is said that they are actually just using tools to make it seem as though their arms stretch.<ref>[[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Nitori Kawashiro]]</ref> In [[Wild and Horned Hermit]] chapter one, Reimu receives a "kappa's arm" that ends up being a mechanical arm. In [[Hopeless Masquerade]], Nitori is also seen using several arm-like machines to attack.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
As she is an engineer she is very interested in products made by the humans of the outside world. She takes such products apart and puts them back together in order to understand them. However, she has trouble creating magical tools of any sort. She is fond of selling her inventions and other things such as Fish as her story mode in Hopeless Masquerade details her attempts at running a stand before getting sucked into the battle.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Nitori possesses many small devices and objects and carries them all in her backpack.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
[[Image:ThGKNitori.png|thumb|right|200px|Nitori, as she appears in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''.]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is ''Nitori Kawashiro'' ({{lang|ja|河城 にとり}}). ''Kawashiro'' ({{lang|ja|河城}}) means "river({{lang|ja|河}}) castle({{lang|ja|城}})". ''Nitori'' is in hiragana. <br />
<br />
Her name might have originated from [[Wikipedia:Ryūnosuke Akutagawa|Ryuunosuke Akutagawa]]'s novel ''Kappa'' the second chapter of which begins with the sentence {{lang|ja|「そのうちにやっと気がついてみると、僕は仰向けに倒れたまま、大勢の'''河童にとり'''囲まれていました。」}}''(Sono uchi ni yatto kigatsuite miru to, boku wa aomuke ni taoreta mama, oozei no '''kappa ni tori''' kakomarete imashita.'', "When at last I came 'round, I found myself lying on my back surrounded by a large number of kappa.") — from the translation by Seiichi Shiojiri.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
Nitori has blue hair tied into twintails and blue eyes in ''Mountain of Faith''. She wears a blue dress with lots of pockets around the hem of the skirt and her upper arm, and a dark aquamarine backpack with a golden key on the strap in front of her. She also wears a green hat with a white wispy symbol on it, blue wellington boots and carries a cattail. As an engineer she carries a lot of tools with her in the pockets.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''[[Mountain of Faith]]''<br />
[[File:Th10NitoriSprite.png|frame|Nitori's sprite in ''MoF'']]<br />
When she first sees the heroine, she immediately runs away, but comes back and ambushes her. After the midboss fight, she says her "optical camouflage suit" broke, which confuses the heroine. Nitori mentions that the heroine is pretty strong and beat her even with the camouflage, then warns them that the mountain is dangerous for humans.<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario#Stage 3|l1=Reimu Arc}}<br />
When Reimu and Nitori meet again, Nitori immediately begins to warn Reimu about how dangerous the mountain is again, but Reimu ignores the warning, telling Nitori that she is in her way and she wants to talk to the [[Kanako Yasaka|gods]] there. Nitori again warns her but Reimu does not listen. Nitori attacks Reimu as a last-ditch attempt to get her to turn back and leave the mountain, but Reimu defeats her in a duel. Nitori is shocked, but says that [[kappa]] and humans are sworn friends, and so tells all of the other kappa to let Reimu go up the mountain.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Marisa's Scenario#Stage 3|l1=Marisa Arc}}<br />
Much like in Reimu's scenario, Nitori shows up trying to test her optical camouflage suit -- which doesn't work. She is insistent, like in Reimu's scenario, that Marisa turn around and leave the mountain. Marisa quips about how if somebody tells you not to do something, you'll just want to do it more, and the two get into a duel. Nitori loses and says that human and kappa are sworn friends, leaving to tell the other kappa to let her through.<br />
<br />
In the end the kappa accepted the new gods of the mountain.<br />
[[File:WaHHNitori.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Nitori appearance in [[Wild and Horned Hermit]] chapter 22]]<br />
;''[[Subterranean Animism]]''<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Translation/Marisa and Nitori's Scenario|l1=Marisa and Nitori's Scenario}}<br />
During the events of ''Subterranean Animism'', she is one of the kappa who hears from the God of the sky, [[Kanako Yasaka]] about the new power of nuclear fusion in the [[Underworld]]. However, they are unwilling to go there due to the [[oni]] living underground. Learning that Reimu is going underground to investigate, she convinces Marisa to explore there as well, since she doesn't seem to have anything better to do.<br />
<br />
;''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''<br />
:{{Main|Hopeless Masquerade/Story/Nitori's Scenario}}<br />
She's trying to run a stall by the temple when Byakuren confronts her over her pricing. They fight and after winning, Nitori finds herself getting into fights when all she wants to do is make money. She tries to convince Reimu into letting her open a stall there but she refuses, leading to a fight. Mamizou ends up surprised by Nitori appearing before her. When she finds Kokoro, she has the idea of trying to sell her some masks that might have some hope, provoking the final battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:FSNitori.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Nitori appearance in [[Forbidden Scrollery]] chapter 29]]<br />
;''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''<br />
Presumably from hearing or seeing a wanted sign about the mischief-making [[amanojaku]] [[Seija Kijin]], Nitori appears to be one of the many [[youkai]] that tries to capture her. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
<br />
;''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''<br />
:{{Main|Urban Legend in Limbo/Story/Nitori's Scenario}}<br />
Nitori, ever a prospective entrepreneur, uses the [[Urban Legend in Limbo|Urban Legend Incident]] for profit, and travels across [[Gensokyo]] attempting to sell and buy [[Occult Ball|Occult Balls]], using an [[wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|artificial Urban Legend]]. Because they cannot be exchanged without a fight between two persons holding them, she mostly ends up taking other people's Occult Balls without paying for them.<br />
<br />
;''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Nitori again seeks to profit from the incident by artificially reproducing it. She teams up with [[Hata no Kokoro]] and uses her power over emotions to aid in research. Nitori ends up creating a mask that can simulate Perfect Possession.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
{{stub|section}}<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
Nitori frequently appears in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', mostly with other kappas. She's commonly seen operating in business ventures to seek profit from current fads or events, running stalls selling goods or building structures with the other kappas. Her first appearance is as a cameo in the first chapter to illustrate a kappa losing its arm, but didn't get properly introduced until chapter 12.<br />
<br />
In chapter 12, Nitori was amongst the kappa driven out of their hideout in [[Genbu Ravine]] due to the huge pillar of water created by [[kishin]] chief [[Suiki]] to attack [[Seiga Kaku]]. She expressed fears that the kappa may have angered Lord Suiryuu, but this fear was unfounded.<br />
<br />
In chapter 22, Nitori was one of the kappas who searched for [[Manzairaku]] using sonar and searchlights. Perturbed by crowds gathering to watch the seal, she and the kappas moved it to the [[Abandon Pond]] and opens The Manzairaku Show there. simultaneously moving away the crowd and "making a killing" while at it. When Manzairaku becomes depressed, it was Nitori who asked Kasen for help. After being explained that the sea mammal requires saltwater and fish, Nitori and the kappas builds an artificial saltwater pool for it.<br />
<br />
In chapter 25, seeing signs of an astronomy boom, Nitori builds a planetarium in the [[human village]], she gave Reimu a VIP ticket to assuage the shrine maiden's fears of a youkai gathering.<br />
<br />
In chapters 38 and 39, Nitori was one of the kappas who worked on the construction of the [[Moriya Shrine]] ropeway. She convinced Sanae to power the ropeway using geysers belonging to the shrine, exploiting that the geysers will quickly render the machines unusable, requiring monthly maintenance (and payments to the kappa). When the ropeway was delayed, she swears to Kasen that the kappa would never intentionally cause a breakdown on their creations to help their business.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
In chapters 14 and 15, Nitori along with the other kappas were using an old shack close to the [[Human Village]] as a warehouse to keep their items because the [[Abandon Pond]], their original warehouse, was completely frozen. To keep off the humans from approaching they used the "Seven Wonders" to conceal their identities and to guard the shack. After Reimu told them the humans already noticed something strange was going on, Nitori couldn't help but to find another place to store their items, the Forest Ghost Mansion Warehouse.<br />
<br />
In chapters 28 and 29, Nitori and the kappas ordered a printed book from [[Suzunaan]] and was detected by [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]]. Suspicious of their activities, Mamizou infiltrates the kappa's secret cucumber garden where they were growing cucumbers. After detecting and confronting Mamizou and explaining that the kappa started growing cucumbers using a book on selective breeding of cucumbers from the [[outside world]], Nitori reveals that the book she ordered printed from Suzunaan was a manual on cucumber recipes and preservation methods and that the book itself can allow the holder to use magic on a cucumber to make cucumber dishes.<br />
<br />
;''Visionary Fairies in Shrine''<br />
In chapters 11 and 11.5 of ''[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]]'', Nitori and the kappas, due to their hideout being flooded, started a new business of "canyoning", where customers would be carried down the river currents, making use of the unusually strong river currents in the [[Genbu Ravine]] at the time along with the kappa's ability to manipulate water. After finding the three fairies, Nitori used them as guinea pigs to test the river courses. The canyoning business was a success and Nitori managed to convince [[Marisa Kirisame]] to try it out. However, after Clownpiece's torch caused a kappa's power to go out of control and throw an entire river into the sky in the shape of a dragon, the canyoning business was temporarily suspended due to safety concerns.<br />
;''[[Lotus Eaters]]''<br />
{{stub}}<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Marisa Kirisame]]<br />
Nitori knows [[Marisa Kirisame]]. In the story of [[Subterranean Animism]] the kappa heard news about nuclear power and Nitori asked Marisa to investigate underground. <br />
;[[Kappa]]<br />
Obviously she is in a friendly relationship with the other kappa. With the other kappa they experiment and invent with new items. She is seen with the other kappa in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' and ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]''. It should be noted that Kappa are not that great at group projects so it's not likely that she'd work with them.<br />
;[[Human]]s<br />
Humans aren't aware of it, but she states kappa are friends with humans. Nitori in particular is too shy to be with a human when by herself. Even so, ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' states that as a kappa, if a human gets too close she'll remove their shirikodama, and the human will die. She can even use her extending arms (tsuuhai) to grab a person's legs from a distance and drag them in. Because of the conflicting information, it's not really known just how much of an "ally" the kappa are to humans.<br />
<br />
;[[Sunny Milk]], [[Luna Child]] and [[Star Sapphire]]<br />
During the events of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', the [[Three Fairies of Light]] are shown working at Nitori's stall, near the [[Hakurei Shrine]].<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Nitori's "Optical Camouflage" [[Mountain of Faith/Spell Cards/Stage 3#Spell Card 27|spell cards]] may refer to another aspect of kappa that Akutagawa writes about: "But what is most remarkable about kappa is that, unlike human beings, they change colors according to their surroundings."<br />
*Her backpack resembles a tortoise shell, fitting for a kappa.<br />
*Nitori is the only playable partner in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' who never appeared in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''; all the other partners, including Reimu's, did.<br />
*Nitori's last word in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' partially resembles to [http://www.ssbwiki.com/Grenade_Launcher Grenade Launcher], [[wikipedia:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]]'s Final Smash from ''[[wikipedia:Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Also because of its name ''"Super Scope 3D"'', it may be possibly making a reference to the [[wikipedia:Super Scope|Super Scope]] and/or [[Twilight Frontier]]'s fangame ''[[DynaMarisa 3D]]''.<br />
* One of alternate color palettes in the fighting games resembles [[Hong Meiling]].<br />

A [[kappa]] that lives on [[Youkai Mountain]]. For a long time, kappa haven't let themselves be seen by humans, but since they usually hide to watch humans, they like to think that they are on good terms with humans.<br />
<br />
She may suddenly change her attitude or speech, and she possesses a rather odd personality, but she's unexpectedly shy. She runs away the moment she sees a human.<br />
<br />
Since she's an engineering nut, whenever she sees something man-made, she takes it apart and puts it back together. Because of this, her clothes are stuffed with tools.<br />
<br />
She wanted to turn away Reimu and the others who had entered the mountain, but this is only because she believed that there was some sort of emergency occurring on the mountain.<br />

種族:河童<br/><br />
能力:水を操る程度の能力<br />
<br />
妖怪の山に住む河童である。ここ暫くの間、河童は滅多に人間の前に<br /><br />
姿を現さなくなったが、河童は人間を隠れて観察していた為、人間と<br /><br />
は仲が良いつもりでいる。<br />
<br />
突然態度や口調を変えたり、ちょっと奇異な性格の持ち主だが、案外、<br /><br />
人見知りする。人間をみるとすぐに逃げる。<br />
<br />
コテコテのエンジニアで、人工物をみるとすぐにばらしては、元通り<br /><br />
にする。その為の工具が、彼女の服にびっしり入っている。<br />
<br />
今回は、山に入ろうとしていた霊夢達を追い返そうとしていたのだが、<br /><br />
それは山が緊急事態だった為、人間には危険だと判断した為である。<br />
<br />
結局、霊夢達は警告を聞き入れようとしなかった為、にとりはこっそ<br /><br />
り山の奥へ入らせることにした。どうせなら謎の神様に会わせてみよ<br /><br />
うと思ったのだ。<br />
<br />
すったもんだの騒動の結果、結局河童は新しく来た山の神を受け入れ<br/><br />

<br />
In the end, since Reimu and company didn't take her advice, Nitori secretly decided to let them into the mountain. She thought it would be interesting to watch them interact with the mysterious new god.<br />
<br />
As a result of the ensuing battle, the kappa came to accept the new god of the mountain.<br />

河童達に驚きのニュースが入ってきた。山の神様曰く、地底に超高温の核融合炉が完成しつつあるという。<br/><br />
いち早くその究極のエネルギーを手に入れて、色々試してみたい。<br />
<br />
そう考えたのだが、河童として鬼の住む地底には入りたくなかった。<br/><br />
どうにかして地底を調べたかったのだが、その時、霊夢が妖怪の要請で地底に潜るという噂を聞いた。<br />
<br />
先を越されてなる物かと、にとりは暇そうにしていた魔理沙に話を持ちかけ、地底に潜らせる事にした。<br />

A kappa that lives on the mountain.<br/><br />
Recently, the kappa heard some news that greatly excited them. According to the gods of the mountain, a high-temperature nuclear furnace was being completed underground. They wanted to get their hands on it as soon as possible to perform various tests with it.<br />
<br />
However, the kappa didn't want to go underground where the oni lived. As they were wondering how they could investigate the underground, they heard a rumor that Reimu would be going there at the request of the other youkai.<br />
<br />
Ever taking the initiative, Nitori decided to go convince Marisa to explore underground, since Marisa didn't seem to have anything better to do.<br />

兵器を使うにはエネルギーが必要です。<br/><br />
エネルギーが足りないと兵器の性能が低下したり、<br/><br />

<br />
The village is reverberating with sounds of the festival.<br/><br />
Many street fights are breaking out all over the place among the influential,<br/><br />
and the people appeared to be excited.<br/><br />
Excitement and zeal give birth to believers.<br/><br />
That is nothing more than being used in a good way by the religionists.<br/><br />
Some of the kappa had a culture of hating religion.<br />
<br />
'''Special skill: Water Sprite Energy'''<br />
<br />
Nitori is equipped with many weapons,<br/><br />
but using them requires energy.<br/><br />
Without enough energy, the weapons' efficiency decreases,<br/><br />
and could become unusable.<br/><br />
The energy does not get refilled until the round ends,<br/><br />
so it requires a carefully-executed pace.<br />
<br />
'''Last Word: Super Scope 3D'''<br />
<br />
Nitori cloaks herself with her Optical Camouflage and retreats,<br/><br />
then begins firing explosives through the air from outside the field.<br/><br />
The movement keys adjust the aim, and the weak melee attack key fires,<br/><br />
and the fired shells will explode when they reach where you were aiming.<br/><br />
Repeated shots will enhance her shells, causing the damage as well as the explosion range to be strengthened.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Reimu Hakurei'''|博麗 霊夢|Hakurei Reimu}} is the main protagonist of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' series along with the deuteragonist, [[Marisa Kirisame]]. As the [[shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], she manages the [[Hakurei Border]] of [[Gensokyo]] and exterminates troublesome [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Reimu Hakurei is a person that can be described by her desires, such as the desire to be wanted, to have good food, and to find happiness. Her biggest internal conflict comes from balancing her duties as the Hakurei shrine maiden and her own desires, though she does not seem to prefer acknowledging many of her internal conflicts.<br />
<br />
Her duty as the Hakurei shrine maiden gives Reimu a sense of purpose and identity, however, it conflicts with her desires in that it distances her from others and has her dealing with incidents and other related problems on a frequent basis. Despite her duty making it seem as though she antagonizes youkai, in truth, she wishes for peace between humans and youkai. <br />
<br />
Reimu is generally a joyful and airheaded person. She’s also incredibly prideful and quite arrogant due to it. She’s often seen in a good mood until her routines are broken by some outside influence, be it a youkai or the like. She’s the type to be quite grumpy and quick to anger, but she’s also quick to forget.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Ability to float<br />
While many inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] are capable of flying, Reimu's ability extends beyond that; she is someone who excels at floating through ''life'', displaying a level of oneness with her surroundings that has been compared to a [[hermit]]. While she "goes with the flow" Reimu displays superhuman instincts and incredible luck, naturally ending up on the path of least resistance through most situations; conversely, when distracted or acting with impure motives she quickly loses her edge.<ref>''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'': Chapter 18</ref> On one occasion observers saw Reimu dodging an attack "like she was made of air" while Reimu herself saw the attack swerving to avoid her;<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 03|Chapter 3]]</ref> on another Reimu unknowingly walked across a river without getting wet, by stepping on fish that swam beneath her feet.<ref>''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'': Chapter 2</ref> This also makes Reimu's techniques extremely hard for [[Marisa Kirisame]] to learn from, since even Reimu herself has trouble explaining what she's doing. The ultimate expression of this ability is ''Fantasy Nature'', which allows Reimu to float away from reality and become impossible to attack; this was considered too powerful for use as a [[spell card]] until Marisa gave it a name and time limit.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards|Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
;Aura manipulation<br />
It's stated in the {{nihongo|omake.txt|おまけ.txt}} of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' that Reimu can control the natural spirits of living things, an ability which isn't listed in any source afterwards. No clear instance of this ability has ever been displayed.<br />
<br />
;Powers as the [[Hakurei]] [[Shrine Maiden]]<br />
[[File:SSIBCH10ReimuSummoning.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu invoking the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
As the [[Hakurei Shrine|Hakurei]] shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, and is trained in [[youkai]] extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of channeling [[Gensokyo]]'s [[god]]s, but she isn't well-trained enough to do so reliably.<br />
<br />
;Barrier techniques<br />
Reimu displays great aptitude with magical barriers (beyond that normally associated with [[shrine maiden]]s), presumably related to her work in maintaining the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. Among her techniques are barriers that explode, push enemies (or herself), or allow her to teleport. Reimu is capable of dismantling barriers and seals too complex for [[Marisa Kirisame]]<ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Marisa's Scenario|Marisa's scenario]]</ref><ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Reimu's Scenario|Reimu's scenario]]</ref> and [[Patchouli Knowledge]]<ref>''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'': Chapter 15</ref> to understand, with what Marisa calls her "cheat technique".<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'': Chapter 7</ref><br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
During the events of [[Urban Legend in Limbo]], and at least until the end of [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]], Reimu aquired abilities based on the "Gap Woman" urban legend. This allowed her to open gaps similar to the ones used by [[Yukari Yakumo]], which she used as portals for herself<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'':Chapter 51</ref> or to attack.<ref>[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]/[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]] - "Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier" Skill</ref><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Reimu is the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and one of the main "incident resolvers" in Gensokyo. She and others characterize the time she spends at the shrine as largely boring and uneventful. While she is sometimes serious about her duties, she can't seem to get many worshippers at her shrine. It appears that youkai extermination is her only method of earning even a thin salary. <br />
<br />
[[Yukari Yakumo]] describes Reimu's job as not being that of a youkai exterminator, but rather a "balancer between humans and youkai", who prevents youkai from attacking humans and humans from becoming youkai.<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]:Chapter 53''</ref><br />
<br />
''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' depicts Reimu as frequently coming up with various schemes to make money, which generally fail due to her own lack of foresight.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
In most of the Touhou games, Reimu uses the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s in combat. In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' they also functioned as communicators with people above the surface. In addition, she usually carries a gohei, sometimes referred to as her [[purification rod]], originally prepared by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]].<br />
<br />
She also possesses a great amount of [[ofuda]], sacred paper charms with anti-[[youkai]] properties that she uses to fight, seal or exterminate youkai of any kind in her [[danmaku]]. Apparently, she can also use them to create barriers and even clones of herself.<ref> ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - Skill Card: [[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Spell Cards/Reimu Hakurei#Skill Card 11|Instant Dimensional Rift]]</ref> Like the Yin-Yang Orbs, she uses them in most, if not all, games she has appeared in, either as a normal shot (usually with homing properties) or as bullets for her [[spell card]]s. Aside from this, the other projectile she uses is a large collection of throwing needles hidden within her sleeves.<br />
<br />
===Machinery===<br />
In PC-98 canon, she possesses a robot called [[Ruukoto]], given to her by [[Yumemi Okazaki]] as a reward for defeating her. Ruukoto has not been seen outside of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Not much is known about Reimu's history prior to the events of the games. Her earliest mention in the Gensokyo timeline is four to five years prior to Chapter 22 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', which took place in 2006. [[ZUN]] does mention in one of his [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] documents that there was a previous Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and it's generally assumed that there's a line of them.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 25 of [[Wild and Horned Hermit]], with night's darkness fast approaching, an annoyed Reimu remarks, "Believe not they will be around for you always: parents and daylight". The quote was thought to imply that Reimu knew her parents, but they're gone and she's rather bitter about it. However, her line was modified from a haiku about the transient, changing nature of things, the original subjects being parents and money ({{lang|jp|いつまでも / あると思うな / 親と金}}). In chapter 2 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', Marisa remarks, "She was a foundling", though the context of this scene suggests that this could just be a throwaway line.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS reimu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Reimu Hakurei as a [[Shrine Maiden]] is likely inspired by other shrine maidens in video games such as Sayo-chan from ''[[Wikipedia:KiKi KaiKai|KiKi KaiKai]]''.<ref>[[Interview_on_Creative_Train|Interview on Creative Train]] Q: How was Touhou Born?</ref> In general, [[ZUN]] thought it was a good idea to include a [[shrine maiden]] in an STG compared to other typical futuristic STGs simply because it was unusual at the time of her creation.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Davison|first=Pete|title=Curtains for You: The History of Bullet Hell|url=https://www.usgamer.net/articles/curtains-for-you-the-history-of-bullet-hell|website=US Gamer|date=8 June 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Reimu's full name is {{nihongo||博麗 霊夢|Reimu Hakurei}}. The characters for Reimu's last name {{nihongo||博麗|Hakurei}} literally mean something along the lines of "esteemed companion". The first word {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:博|博]]|Haku}} means "wide" or "exposition" while {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:麗|麗]]|Rei}} means "lovely", "graceful", or "beautiful". Her first name {{nihongo||霊夢|Reimu|lit. "spirit/soul dream"}} is a relevant Japanese word that refers to a "divine revelation made through dreams".<br />
<br />
In the [[PC-98]] game era, her name was written with a slight difference. {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:靈|靈]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} was changed to {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:霊|霊]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} from ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' onwards. "{{lang|ja|靈}}" is an [[Wikipedia:Hyōgaiji|uncommon]] form of "{{lang|ja|霊}}" with identical meanings. In the Japanese community, "{{lang|ja|博麗靈夢}}" is used to refer to Reimu in the PC-98 era specifically. Incidentally, Chinese (Taiwanese) fans who use the [[wikipedia:Traditional Chinese characters|Traditional Chinese characters]] also adopt this style to refer to Reimu in general (old Japanese kanji form and traditional [[wikipedia:Chinese characters|hanzi]] are basically identical).<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Reimu is of moderate height. In PC-98 canon, she is depicted as having purple hair and eyes, and she wears a large red ribbon at the back of her head, and red tubes on her sidelocks. From [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]] to [[Mystic Square]] she wears an outfit like a traditional shrine maiden uniform, with a red hakama over a white kimono.<br />
<br />
However, her best known design is that of the Windows era. She has brown-black hair which varies in length and style between games (tending towards long and loose in later works), and her eyes vary from brown to red to even blue depending on the game, but she still wears a red ribbon and matching tubes on her sidelocks. She's still seen in her "shrine maiden uniform", but it now bears little in common with the standard uniform beyond the red-and-white colour scheme (which ZUN has acknowledged<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 3]]</ref>). This uniform consists of a red skirt (rather than the standard [[wikipedia:Hakama|hakama]]), a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon (a red ribbon in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' and ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', a blue one in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]], [[Subterranean Animism]], [[Hopeless Masquerade]], [[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' and ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''), and a pair of white detached sleeves which exposes her [[wikipedia:sarashi|sarashi]]. Due to the color scheme, she's occasionally called the "red-white shrine maiden"<ref>''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' - Extra stage</ref>. Her shaman clothing and her [[purification rod]] came from [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], but it's unknown who designs them. In chapter 7 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', she used chopsticks with her left hand, and it was stated that she was left-handed (this statement was deleted in the collected edition), but she held a pen with her right hand in ''Subterranean Animism''. It has been speculated by fans that, assuming this wasn't an art error, she may be ambidextrous or just used to writing with her right hand.<br />
<br />
On the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom's portraits, as well her larger portrait on the character selection screen, she appears with white gloves. These were removed in the final release of that game, but the gloves on the character selection screen were kept. She has no longer been depicted with these gloves ever since.<ref>[[:File:PCB Trial Portraits.png|Portraits used in the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom]]</ref><br />

A lone shrine sits Far East: the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. The powerful seal placed there has worn away, and many strange creatures are starting to come out. Now Reimu, seeking revenge (or possibly just to sate her curiosity), and armed with the shrine's treasure, the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, goes to the gate to face the [[Youkai|non-human]] creatures inside. The gate will lead to either [[Makai]] or [[Hell]] depending on which route the player chooses.<br />
<br />

Reimu is training intensely in the harsh extremities of a mountain (or taking it easy), but when she returns to the shrine, she finds it infested by [[youkai]], [[ghost]]s and other non-human creatures. With her faithful turtle [[Genjii]] and her trusty Yin-Yang Orbs, she sets out to find the one who caused the trouble. Her journey leads her to [[Rika]], the culprit, as well as [[Mima]], who has broken the seal placed on her in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'', and desires the power of the Yin-Yang Orbs for herself. Reimu is victorious in battle and learns the truth behind the Yin-Yang Orbs.<br />
<br />

:{{Main|Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream/Translation/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream Reimu's Scenario}}<br />
Things have been peaceful lately so Reimu has time to kill. When some old ruins appear near the shrine, promising a reward for whoever can manage to make it inside, she decides to enter a sort of tournament to decide who'll go in. This is the first time Reimu appeared as a [[boss]]. Assuming she's the player character, she defeats all six opponents and makes it inside to confront [[Chiyuri Kitashirakawa]] and [[Yumemi Okazaki]], who have come from the real world in search of proof of magic. As a reward for defeating her, Yumemi gives Reimu the housekeeping robot [[Ruukoto]].<br />

:{{Main|Lotus Land Story/Story|l1=Lotus Land Story Story}}<br />
Reimu mulls over on how quiet things have been, but soon enough, youkai and spirits start flooding out into [[Gensokyo]] again, putting her shrine in danger. She confronts a few, then realizes this must have been the work of something bigger, and decides to go straight to the source of the issue. She makes her way through to the [[Fantasy World]], where she finally meets [[Yuuka Kazami]] and defeats her.<br />

[[File:081BAiJRspecialPCB.jpg|thumb|200px|Reimu in the Spring Snow Incident]]<br />
Even though it's May, spring shows no signs of coming, leaving the inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] in a cold winter weather that only gets worse. Reimu, noticing cherry petals blowing from the [[Netherworld]], decides to set out and stop the perpetrator from holding spring hostage. After making her way into the Netherworld, she comes to [[Hakugyokurou]], where the ghost [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] spends her time administrating the spirits of the dead. She was gathering the essence of spring to try and make the [[Saigyou Ayakashi]] bloom, but Reimu stops her before she completes it. Later on, Yuyuko asks Reimu to go deal with her friend [[Yukari Yakumo]], as she's the one who has been weakening the boundary between Gensokyo and the Netherworld.<br />

[[File:085BAiJRspecial IN.jpg|thumb|200px|Reimu in the Eternal Night Incident]]<br />
Yukari isn't able to sleep and discovers the full moon is nowhere to be found; it has been replaced with a fake moon, and the night appears to have stopped. She convinces Reimu into investigating the cause with her. After dealing with a few youkai, and [[Marisa Kirisame]] in particular, who demands to know why they've created this eternal night, they reach [[Eientei]], a house hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]. Once there, they either confront [[Eirin Yagokoro]] or [[Kaguya Houraisan]]. Eirin explains that she actually sealed the Earth away from the [[Moon]] in order to prevent the Lunarians from taking Kaguya back. Kaguya, however, has tired of hiding, and so challenges Reimu and Yukari to complete her five impossible requests. Once they're defeated, they undo the seal (and thus "return" the real moon to Gensokyo). Afterwards, they all decide to have a moon viewing. Later on, Kaguya sends them into another part of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost as a "test of guts" - but her true intentions are revealed to be trying to annoy [[Fujiwara no Mokou]], another immortal human, and her eternal rival.<br />
<br />
In the Magic and Scarlet Team's scenarios, she attacks the teams in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]], accusing them of being behind the eternal night and falsely accusing the Magic Team of being behind the fake moon.<br />

:{{Main|Phantasmagoria of Flower View/Story#Reimu's Story|l1=Phantasmagoria of Flower View Reimu's Scenario}}<br />
Reimu, who's usually easy-going, is disturbed by the amount of flowers blooming and, not to be the one who shrugs off her duties, goes on to search for answers. She fights through many opponents, including news reporter [[Aya Shameimaru]], in search of the truth. Eventually she reaches [[Muenzuka]], where the [[shinigami]] [[Komachi Onozuka]], who appears to have been slacking off on her job to manage said spirits. [[Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu]] appears after Reimu beats Komachi up, and explains what's happening - an awful lot of spirits of the dead suddenly arrived from the [[Human World]], and they're having trouble accomodating all of them. After a lecture, they do battle, and Reimu emerges victorious. The three of them have a flower viewing later on, where it's explained that as the spirits of the dead cross the [[Sanzu River]], the flowers' blooming will settle down.<br />
<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Mountain of Faith Reimu's Scenario}}<br />
Reimu's shrine has become a hotspot for [[youkai]], so she doesn't get many [[human]] visitors to do patronage. She receives a foreboding threat from a [[Sanae Kochiya|mysterious human visitor]], who demands that the [[Hakurei shrine]] be shut down and submit to another god. Reimu, always the optimist, decided to go to [[Youkai Mountain]] to face the goddess who's making these threats. She fights her way up to the [[Moriya Shrine]] and defeats its shrine maiden, [[Sanae Kochiya]], as well as its resident god, [[Kanako Yasaka]], thus saving her own shrine. Afterwards, Reimu summons everyone to the shrine to watch the autumn leaves, where she vouches for Sanae and Kanako and tells [[Nitori]] and [[Aya]] that they should invite them over for drinks sometime and generally get along. Sanae also tells Reimu that youkai are a good source of faith. A while later, Marisa brings Reimu the rumor that a second god is actually living at the Moriya Shrine, and she goes to check it out. She then meets [[Suwako Moriya]] and defeats her.<br />
<br />

A geyser appears behind [[Hakurei Shrine]], and at first Reimu is happy, since its heat will alleviate the cold of winter. However, [[Evil spirit|evil spirit]]s begin emerging from the earth and loitering about [[Gensokyo]]. Reimu is sent to investigate with either [[Yukari Yakumo]], [[Suika Ibuki]], or [[Aya Shameimaru]], depending on what shot type the player chooses. She communicates them throughout her trip via her Yin-Yang Orbs. She heads straight to the [[Underworld]], and fights her way deeper and deeper until reaching the [[Palace of the Earth Spirits]]. There she meets [[Satori Komeiji]], whose two pets apparently have something to do with it. Reimu defeats [[Rin Kaenbyou]], then reaches [[Utsuho Reiuji]], who, with her newfound powers, is maintaining the hellfire that heats the Underground, and is responsible for the geysers that let the evil spirits leak out. She defeats her as well, then returns to the surface. Rin starts frequenting the shrine, though mostly for food, and eventually they make the geyser behind the shrine into a hot spring. Utsuho later explains how she came to possess such power, and it seems to point straight towards Kanako and Suwako, so Reimu sets off for the Youkai Mountain again. When she gets to the shrine, however, she meets [[Koishi Komeiji]], who was apparently also looking for who gave Utsuho those powers. Suwako comes out to meet them after they fight and explains it's all part of their "industrial revolution project".<br />

However, [[Minamitsu Murasa]] tells her they're headed to [[Makai]] to revive a "saint" of some sort. She follows them there and meets [[Byakuren Hijiri]], a Buddhist monk that loves youkai and humans equally. That certainly won't do, so Reimu beats her up. She and Byakuren later fly around the skies on the ship, but afterwards the ship is landed and renovated into the [[Myouren Temple]]. A little later, she follows up on the strange light that was following her during the journey, and it turns out to be [[Nue Houjuu]], a straggler from Byakuren's group. Reimu defeats her and persuades her to visit the temple.<br />

A large number of [[Divine spirit|divine spirit]]s appear, threatening the flower viewing, so it's up to Reimu to figure out what's causing it. She visits the [[Netherworld]] first; while [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] isn't the culprit, she points the shrine maiden towards the [[Myouren Temple]]. After forcing her way to the graveyard, she discovers the spirits all flocking to the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]]. Once inside, she defeats the newly resurrected [[Mononobe no Futo]] and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] in battle.

After being led by Seija to the inner parts of the castle, she defeats the Miracle Mallet-wielding [[Shinmyoumaru Sukuna]]. Afterwards, a magical storm similar to the one caused by the Miracle Mallet rages and Reimu finds that the cause is the tsukumogami [[Raiko Horikawa]], who had successfully changed her source of magic to that of the outside world. After beating Raiko, Reimu lets her go in exchange for not causing any problems in the future.<br />

There, Reimu learns that the Moon people wanted to migrate to Gensokyo because there was a person who was attacking the Lunar Capital. After traveling to the Sea of Tranquility, Reimu encounters [[Junko]], the true culprit of the incident.

However, it's not her, so Reimu ends up making her way towards [[Heaven]], where the celestials [[Iku Nagae]] and [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] reside. Tenshi reveals she started the incident simply because she was bored watching everyone else getting involved in incidents and wanted to start her own.

After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], Reimu becomes one of the many strong [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]], appearing on day 8. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
<br />
;''Gold Rush''<br />
Reimu appears as the [[boss]] in the one-[[stage]] minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]''. Extending from ''Impossible Spell Card'', [[Seija Kijin]] somehow acquired the ultimate 10th "rule-breaking" item the Miracle Mallet (Real), which is capable of destroying danmaku, and decides to make use of it by robbing the [[Hakurei Shrine]] before its power runs out. Reimu uses three [[spell card]]s and non-spell cards on Seija before she's defeated.<br />

{{Main|Urban Legend in Limbo/Story/Demo Scenario|l1=Reimu's Scenario (Prologue)|Urban Legend in Limbo/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l2= Reimu's Scenario (Final)}}<br />
Reimu appears as a playable character in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''. Reimu finds [[Marisa Kirisame]] at [[Kourindou]] and wanted her to taste some mushrooms for poison, but Marisa attacked her with occult power. Reimu was confused, seeing a bizarre ball of sort. She then met [[Kasen Ibaraki]] who seemed to know about the ball. She finds out that Reimu has an [[Occult Ball]], to which she tries to take off her. After she was defeated, she warns that the ball is dangerous. Eventually that night, Reimu encounters [[Sumireko Usami|a mysterious figure]].<br />
<br />
;''Antinomy of Common Flowers''<br />
{{Main|Antinomy of Common Flowers/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1= Reimu and Kasen's Scenario}}<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Reimu hurries to investigate the Perfect Posession incident; however, she is a bit late, as most of the cast has already caught onto the rumors and is practicing Perfect Posession. Knowing little about the phenomenon, she decides to investigate by trying it for herself, choosing [[Kasen Ibaraki]] to posess her. Later, she cooperates in [[Yukari Yakumo]]'s plan to take down [[Joon Yorigami|Joon]] and [[Shion Yorigami]].<br />
;''Violet Detector''<br />
{{Main|Violet Detector/Story/Dialogue|l1=Main Scenario}}<br />
The [[Dream World]]’s Reimu version appears in the Dream 1 and 2 of Sunday, provoking [[Sumireko Usami]] to attack her.<br />
She appears again in the Dream 1 of Wrong Sunday, this time explaining that the Dream Version’s of all humans and youkais she knows will appear to try to kill her <ref> This is explained in deep by [[Doremy]] in Dream 1, Wrong Wednesday</ref><br />
;''Touhou Gouyoku Ibun''<br />
{{Main|Touhou Gouyoku Ibun/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1= Reimu's Scenario}}<br />
Reimu decides to investigate the underground after finding out that black water was coming out the ground. She uses a cave in the [[Forest of Magic]] to do it (after defeating Marisa) and there, she finds [[Kogasa Tatara]] and [[Yuugi Hoshiguma]]. The latter youkai tells Reimu that, on the surface, that black water is called “petroleum” and that it could be very profitable.<br />

:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Reimu|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Reimu}}<br />
Shortly after the events of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] attends a flower viewing at the [[Hakurei Shrine]], where she meets Reimu, who's in a foul mood since no one wants to help her clean up after event. Aya plies her with sake and questions her about the incident, commenting in the article that "Reimu just seems to be a laid-back drunkard".<br />
In the follow-up interview, Reimu claims Aya's paper is full of lies and insists her account of the incident is true, though Aya still doesn't recognize Reimu's deeds.<br />
<br />
;''Silent Sinner in Blue''<br />
Sometime not long after the events of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Reimu is recruited by the members of the Scarlet Devil Mansion to power their rocket to the moon. The group is defeated by the Watatsuki sisters, who keep Reimu on the moon for a short period of time to clear their names before returning her unharmed to Gensokyo. Unbeknownst to almost everyone involved, their voyage was simply one part of a complex ploy by Yukari to intimidate the residents of Eientei.<br />

;''Symposium of Post-mysticism''<br />
[[File:ThGK Bunbunmaru12.jpg|thumb|200px|Reimu in ''SoPm'', with her shrine destroyed]]<br />
:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 12|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism Article: Reimu}}<br />
In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Reimu appeared on part 6 of the symposium. It was stated that Reimu was hiding and hearing over the whole symposium, that was attended by [[Hieda no Akyuu]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. When she was revealed by Akyuu, Marisa noticed that she had an angry look on her face (although she seems to not be angry with Akyuu). That's because she's not happy with the discussion the group was having, believing that it's all nonsense. She slammed a pile of newspapers in front of them to prove how bad the [[youkai]] are and tells them to stop the symposium immediately. She was requested by the [[human]]s of the [[Human Village]] to stop this as they were aware – and felt uncomfortable – of "non-humans" discussing on changing the way of Gensokyo's life. The group were unhappy with her personality and her way of "fight-first, ask-later" attitude towards youkai, and can't even spend another minute finishing their sake.<br />
<br />
There was also an article included, written by [[Aya Shameimaru]], that involved Reimu's broken-down [[Hakurei Shrine]] during the events of ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''. It stated that it collapsed due to a localised earthquake and that the roof caved into the shrine. Aya found it suspicious that a [[celestial]], that been [[Tenshi Hinanawi]], came to help and re-build it.<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
Reimu finds her shrine frequented by a mysterious hermit going by the name of [[Kasen Ibaraki]]. ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' follows the various escapades and adventures of Reimu and her friends in concurrence to the timeline of the games. Reimu in ''WaHH'' is generally short-sighted and obsessed with making a profit.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
When book-lender [[Kosuzu Motoori]] of the [[Human Village]] begins dabbling with demon books, Reimu finds herself frequently having to sort out the incidents caused by the youkai that are released from them. In contrast to ''Wild and Horned Hermit'', which is fairly lighthearted, ''Forbidden Scrollery'' depicts Reimu as a shrine maiden who struggles to maintain the image of a protector for the Human Village while maintaining the masquerade set in place by the youkai.<br />
<br />
===Seihou Project===<br />
[[File:Sh01Reimu.png|thumb|Reimu as she appears in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''.]]<br />
{{seihou note|section}}<br />
;''Shuusou Gyoku''<br />
{{Main|Shuusou Gyoku/Story/Extra Scenario|l1=Shuusou Gyoku: Extra Scenario}}<br />
[[File:Sh01ReimuSprite.png|frame|left|Reimu sprite in ''SSG'']]<br />
Reimu has made a guest appearance as the second Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', a [[danmaku]] game series by the junior doujin circle "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]", where [[ZUN]] also contributed music and art to the game. It seems like ZUN put her in the game along with [[Marisa Kirisame]]. Her title was "Eternal Shrine Maiden" and her theme was "Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Ancients". To add to this, [[Yuuka Kazami]] made a guest appearances in the following work, ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have no view towards the [[Seihou World]]; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery. After VIVIT defeated Marisa at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in [[Gensokyo]], Marisa was then thudded by Reimu for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Reimu attacked her with two [[purification rod]]s before she could explain what she was doing. After Reimu lost, VIVIT told her that she was looking for the [[Holy Grail]], causing Reimu to become confused and start asking questions.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Although Reimu often shows up as the main character, she doesn't participate in mundane activities to the extent [[Marisa Kirisame]] does, limiting her familiarity with most of [[Gensokyo]]'s population. Nevertheless, she has interacted with almost every other character that has ever made a physical appearance, with a few exceptions such as the [[Giant Catfish]], [[Renko Usami]], and [[Maribel Hearn]].<br />
<br />
===Marisa Kirisame===<br />
[[File:SSiBArtWallpaper1.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa, in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
Reimu’s closest friend is Marisa Kirisame, and the two of them spend most of their time together. They are seen together most often in the print works, game and extra stage prologues where they hang out at the shrine together, chatting about the latest rumors and news in Gensokyo. They’ve known each other since childhood and have been close ever since. <br />
<br />
Reimu and Marisa often quarrel and spar with each other, for reasons ranging from resolving incidents to hotpot ingredients. Regardless, they usually resolve their differences and continue being as close as ever.<br />
<br />
They’ve also worked together on numerous occasions, such as when they chased down an enenra, or worked to exterminate a vengeful spirit. Though generally, they solve incidents at their own pace.<br />
<br />
===Yukari Yakumo===<br />
Despite her antagonistic personality, [[Yukari Yakumo]] mentors Reimu by pushing her to increase her spiritual powers, such as learning how to invoke the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. In that case, Reimu followed her instructions and orders to train hard despite Yukari not informing Reimu why she needed to do so, displaying how much Reimu either trusts Yukari or has decided it's pointless to argue with her (or both). Yukari occasionally seeks Reimu's assistance in resolving incidents in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. In this regard, she is an employer of sorts, as she remarks about compensating Reimu accordingly during the [[Imperishable Night]] incident. Yukari is also secretly a benefactor as well, donating to the shrine behind Reimu's back. Reimu is unaware of that, however.<br />
<br />
===Rinnosuke Morichika===<br />
Reimu is familiar with [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], a shopkeeper who owns [[Kourindou]], who she sometimes visits to hang out or for wares (and sometimes shoplifts). She apparently has a large unpaid tab for requested items and services, but denies it since Rinnosuke "never accepts money" (which he denies being the case). Rinnosuke was also the one that originally prepared her [[purification rod]] for her use.<br />
<br />
===Sanae Kochiya===<br />
Despite being the priestess of a rival shrine, [[Sanae Kochiya]] is on friendly terms with Reimu and appears frequently in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' alongside Reimu and Marisa. She came on a bit strongly when she and Reimu first met, but she really thought she was helping the Hakurei Shrine out by attempting to get it to switch gods to [[Kanako Yasaka]]. After ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Sanae offered to help Reimu as a fellow shrine maiden to gather faith for the shrine, and she appears to have been friends with Reimu since then. Nonetheless, the two have no qualms about antagonizing the other at times, though these quarrels are usually resolved by the next time they meet.<br />
<br />
===Kasen Ibaraki===<br />
[[Kasen Ibaraki]] is a regular at the shrine and acts as a mentor (and sometimes guardian) of Reimu, whom she fears is too concerned with worldly desires. Kasen actually initially became Reimu's mentor as part of her own plan, but she continues to view herself as a mentor after her goals were achieved. Reimu mostly thinks of Kasen as a nagging, preachy busybody. However, Reimu often concedes, either because Kasen is usually right or she doesn't want to deal with her. Kasen is openly critical of Reimu, believing her to be too greedy and slack in her duties. In spite of this, Reimu views Kasen as a genuine friend. When fighting Kasen's arm, Reimu was unable to bring herself to fight Kasen whole-heartedly until she realized that the arm battling her was actually a separate entity from Kasen. By the present day, Reimu knows that Kasen is secretly an oni, but partially due to this friendship and partially due to owing Kasen for all the money that one of Kasen's schemes got her, Reimu can't tell anyone else about it.<br />
<br />
===Genjii===<br />
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Reimu used a [[turtle]] as a means for flight until the end of ''[[Mystic Square]]''; that turtle was [[Genjii]]. Reimu calls him "gramps".<br />
<br />
===Three Fairies of Light===<br />
Reimu is often the target of pranks by the [[Three Fairies of Light]], and Reimu tends to exterminate them on sight whenever she catches them (unless Marisa's escorting them). As of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', the three fairies moved into a tree near the [[Hakurei Shrine]] and become Reimu's neighbors, increasing the amount of pranks even more. Reimu aims to evict the fairies, but cannot find their treehouse, which is actually located on the [[Hakurei Border]]. Eventually, in an attempt to befriend Reimu so she'll no longer threaten them, the three fairies challenge her to a battle, reasoning that Reimu tends to befriend many youkai after fighting them. After an intense battle, Reimu finally defeats the fairies (instantly), and points out that their line of reasoning is utterly ridiculous. Despite this, Marisa finds that Reimu befriended the fairies after all, and as of the end of Oriental Sacred Place, the fairies now happily openly spend time at the shrine while helping Reimu out with various chores.<br />
<br />
===Byakuren Hijiri===<br />
Reimu views [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the [[Myouren Temple]] as a rival of sorts to herself and the Hakurei Shrine. In ''[[Ten Desires]]'', [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] points out that Reimu is friendly towards Byakuren. Although Reimu says they're religious rivals, she doesn't seem to deny it. In one of her ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' endings, Reimu is depressed at how quickly Byakuren's temple is picking up followers compared to her own shrine. By the time of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', Reimu is angry at the temple for stealing away her shrine's followers (ignoring that her shrine never had (m)any followers in the first place), but Byakuren seems unaware of this.<br />
<br />
===Kosuzu Motoori===<br />
[[Kosuzu Motoori]], the daughter of the book-lender in the Human Village, has a great deal of respect for Reimu. She is convinced that no harm will come to her from dealing with the youma books, because she is sure that Reimu will come save her if anything happens.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;The Hakurei God<br />
Reimu knows next to nothing about [[The Hakurei God|the god dwelling in her shrine]], making her unable to provide it with faith despite her efforts. Byakuren stated in one of the endings for ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' that the god is mad due to this.<br />
<br />
;Ruukoto<br />
In the PC-98 canon, she obtains a [[robot]]ic maid named [[Ruukoto]] as a servant at the end of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' though no reference has been made to it since.<br />
<br />
;Mima<br />
In the PC-98 canon, [[Mima]] is an [[Onryou#Akuryou|Akuryou]] who haunts the surroundings of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], after many confrontations and being resealed by Reimu, she decides to spend her days making fun of the shrine maiden.<br />
<br />
;Suika Ibuki<br />
[[Suika Ibuki]], who often freeloads her shrine after the events of ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' is also is her ally during ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Reimu saw Suika's presence as a nuisance at first, but never really bothered with driving her away.<br />
<br />
;Aya Shameimaru<br />
[[Aya Shameimaru]], the [[tengu]] reporter was also her ally during the events of ''Subterranean Animism''.<br />
<br />
;[[Misumaru Tamatsukuri]]<br />
Although Reimu never met her before the Ability Card Incident, she was responsible for creating the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s.<br />
<br />
;Unnamed kitsune & Unnamed kuda-gitsune<br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' Chapter 8, The [[Unnamed kitsune]] offered to help Reimu gain worshipers after being caught disguised as Marisa during a party at Hakurei Shrine. She was, however, deceiving Reimu by letting her use the powers of her kuda-gitsune. Using her ability, they gathered worshipers. [[Kasen Ibaraki]] discovered that these fox youkai had been consuming Reimu's willpower and wealth as payment for their help. However, they managed to walk away from the Hakurei Shrine with all her wealth.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Reimu is the most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games, with [[Marisa Kirisame]] coming second. Reimu appears in every Touhou game, two times more than Marisa, who didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and the minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]''.<br />
*Reimu appears on the cover of all five [[PC-98]] games.<br />
*Reimu seems to be scared during her boss battle with the [[Five Magic Stones]].<br />
*Most of her theme from ''Lotus Land Story'' sounds similar to [[Elis]] and [[Kikuri]]'s theme from ''Highly Responsive to Prayers'', "Magic Mirror".<br />
*It was originally stated that she lives alone at the shrine, but other rarely seen characters ([[Mima]] and [[SinGyoku]]) are known to stay there or near there as well. Even then, Reimu claims that most youkai visitors are nuisances, and she'd prefer to be left alone. [[Marisa Kirisame]] seems to be one of the few who she wouldn't drive away.<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Reimu is the only one whose partner doesn't mention the danger of the full moon.<br />
*Reimu's ultimate technique {{nihongo|'''Fantasy Nature'''|夢想天生|musou tensei|"innate fantasy gained at birth"}} is homophonous with the ultimate technique of the Hokuto Shinken school in ''[[wikipedia:Fist of the North Star|Fist of the North Star]]'', {{nihongo|'''Musou Tensei'''|無想転生|musou tensei|"nil-thought rebirth"}}, and has much the same effect.<br />
**In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', if you activate Fantasy Nature successfully in a 3rd round, a remix of "Eastern Mystical Love Consultation" will play which resembles ''Ai wo Torimodose'', the opening theme of the ''Fist of the North Star'' anime (an instrumental version of which usually plays whenever Kenshiro is about to win a fight).<br />
*In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', one of her alternative palettes looks similar to VIVIT. Also, one of her palettes seems to be another maid homage, [[Ruukoto]], or possibly [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s colours. The palette also seems to resemble Mima from ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]''. Her white/light gray palette seems to resemble [[wikipedia:Toki (Fist of the North Star)#Toki|Toki]] from Hokuto no Ken and possibly somewhat similar to her white outfit from the fangame ''[[Concealed the Conclusion]]''. <!--And finally, her white/light blue palette looks like a tribute to [http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Nanoha_Takamachi Nanoha], as they both tend to "befriend" their opponents with superior firepower.--><br />
*When playing Yukari's story mode in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', Reimu breaks down in tears in the ending after Yukari defeats [[Tenshi Hinanawi|Tenshi]] and reduces the Hakurei Shrine to rubble for the second time, with [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]] and [[Youmu Konpaku|Youmu]] looking on helplessly (although Suika offers to help rebuild it). This marks the first and only time where she's seen crying in a storyline scenario.<br />
*The shrine maiden at the end of ''[[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]'' is probably Reimu. She has Reimu's title, "Shrine Maiden of Paradise" (and her personality), and according to [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Music Columns|''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Music Column]], the shrine maiden in the song that accompanies the ending section is Reimu (so basically, this shrine maiden has Reimu's song and title). However, only the shrine maiden at the end is referred to as the shrine maiden of paradise. Thus it's possible that the shrine maiden seen in the first half of the story is a different person altogether.<br />
*A "13th Shrine Maiden" signs off the Gensokyo Record in [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Prologue|''Perfect Cherry Blossom'''s prologue]]. [[ZUN]] has stated in [[ZUN's E-mails|an e-mail]] that the Gensokyo Record is unreliable (for one thing, the writing style of each section shows it was written by a different person each time), thus "there's a high possibility that Reimu isn't the 13th Hakurei shrine maiden." (technically, this also means there's no proof that the person who wrote that section of the record is a shrine maiden at all). <br />
*It' is shown in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' that the shrine sometimes gets various donations (including wine) from unknown sources (implied to be from the [[Outside World|outside world]], as the [[Hakurei Shrine]] lies on the border) and Yukari is shown in ''Oriental Sacred Place'' to sneak yen donations into the offering box when Reimu isn't looking.<br />
*In [[Wild and Horned Hermit]] chapter 46, Reimu experiences a near-death experience because of food poisoning.<br />
**It is also revealed, in the same chapter, that she has trouble of taking care of herself.<br />
*Reimu appears on most of the series menu/title screen<br />

The [[shrine maiden]] of [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Talented, but lacks training. Basically, she doesn't like to train. They say she has fought plenty of [[magician]]s, evil spirits, [[youkai]] and even gods with her strong spiritual power (for no particular reason).<br><br />
She's always involved in some strange affairs, though she seems to be dragged into most of them due to [[Marisa Kirisame|Marisa]]. Reimu pretends not to notice this. She sees Marisa as essentially a hopeless case.<br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br/><br />
[[Shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and protagonist of the [[Touhou]] series. She appears quite carefree on the outside, and indeed deep down, she really is carefree. She lives in her shrine and is rarely visited by anyone, which causes her to be out of touch with current social norms. Even though she only extinguished certain sparks of conflict because they seemed to befall her without warning, her actions have generally resulted in preventing the residents of [[Gensokyo]] from visiting [[human]] settlements, and keeping outsiders away from wandering into Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />

<br />
The protagonist.<br />
<br />
Chronologically, this title isn't too far from the previous title, thus her age stays the same as before.<br />
<br />
There is nothing special about her being a [[shrine maiden]]. Or rather, she's a shrine maiden only because the [[Touhou]] series has become the "Shrine Maiden [[Shooting game|Shooting Game]]" series. It feels like the cart has been placed before the horse to me.<br/><br />
<br />
This time, her outfit isn't overly intricate like typical [[shrine maiden]] clothing, but has become quite simple and only remotely resembles that of a shrine maiden. Is she really a shrine maiden?<br />
<br />
She's more like "You, red-white!" in my opinion.<br/><br />

[[Hakurei Shrine]]'s [[shrine maiden]], and the protagonist. Her mind might appear normal, but in fact it's like spring in full bloom.<br/><br />
The shrine is always haunted by [[youkai]], and they're very friendly to Reimu as well.<br/><br />
She's hardly performing the role of a shrine maiden at this point.<br/><br />
She hates training, and because of this, lacks ability. So her skill is quite so-so.<br/><br />
She hates to do her very best at anything that falls upon her.<br/><br />
That's because she doesn't believe that effort will be rewarded.<br/><br />
Because of that, the [[Hakurei Shrine]]'s paper fortune doesn't have {{nihongo|"Least luck"|末吉}}<br/><br />
''[Typically, a shrine's paper fortune has {{nihongo|Best luck|大吉}}, {{nihongo|Medium luck|中吉}}, {{nihongo|Little luck|小吉}}, {{nihongo|Least luck|末吉}}, {{nihongo|Misfortune|凶}} and {{nihongo|Worst misfortune|大凶}}. "{{lang|ja|末吉}}" is usually interpreted as "You'll get exactly as your effort"]''<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />
<br />
:She has a smaller [[hit box]], and her focused movement allows player to dodge very precisely.<br />
:Spirit Sign's "Hakurei Amulet" is quite easy to use. It allows you to focus on dodging bullets.<br />
:On the other hand, Dream Sign's "Extermination" wields destructive power of the highest class.<br />
:Bosses are killed quickly, but the invincibility duration of her bombs is the shortest of all characters. It's also lacking in both effective radius and damage.<br />

主に空を飛ぶ程度の能力を持つ。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
基本的に巫女さん。幻想郷の境にある博麗神社の巫女さん。博麗神社自体は、幻想郷と人間界の両方に位置する。<br /><br />
・・<br /> その境が博麗神社境内である。どちらからみても、人里離れた山奥に存在し、大きさもさほど無いし、御利益もゆかりも何も無い小さな神社なので、どのみち参拝客は殆ど来ない。<br /><br />
この神社の中では、殆どの結界は無効化される。それだけ、幻想郷と人間界の境、博麗大結界の力は大きいのである。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
幻想郷で唯一、博麗の者だけが規律を持つ。その為、霊夢は一応制服のような物を着用している(他にも規律はあるはずなのだが・・・)紅白の服を着て、幻想郷の端っこから、幻想郷の空を見つめつつ、お茶でも飲むのが日課である。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
元々、霊夢は不思議な力を色々使えるが、それを活用したり自慢したりはしない。すべては在るがままに、である。<br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
She possess the ability to mainly fly in the air.<br />
<br />
Basically, she's a [[shrine maiden]]. The shrine maiden of [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located on the boundary of [[Gensokyo]].<br/><br />
The Hakurei Shrine exists in both Gensokyo and the world of [[human]]s at the same time.<br/><br />
The boundary is the home territory of the Hakurei Shrine. From both sides, it's located at a very remote place from human villages, and is also kind of small, and has no known history or benefits. So it's no wonder that it rarely gets any visitors.<br/><br />
Inside the shrine, almost all foreign boundaries has been nullified. That alone should say that the Hakurei Boundary, the boundary between Gensokyo and the world of humans, is amazingly powerful.<br />
<br />
Only those of the Hakurei have rules to follow in [[Gensokyo]]. Therefore, Reimu always wears clothes that's apparently some kind of uniform (she's supposed to have ''many'' other rules too, though...). Her daily routine consists of wearing red-white, staring at Gensokyo's sky from the edge of Gensokyo, and drinking tea.<br />
<br />
By nature, Reimu can use various mysterious powers, but she doesn't use them or boast about them. Everything is, as is, after all.<br />

Species: [[Human]]<br/><br />

Ability: Flying in the air<br />
<br />
A typical [[shrine maiden]] from Hakurei Shrine. She always lives on ideas off the top of her head, and doesn't consider something seriously. The only thing she does that actually resembles a shrine maiden's duties is enjoying tea and life on the veranda.<br />
<br />
She's quite simple-minded, thus when she's angry she's angry, and when she smiles she smiles. Her open personality makes her well-liked by both [[human]]s and [[youkai]]. Due to that, many people stay close to the shrine.<br />
<br />
She lacks training in both melee and spells (or rather, she rarely does them), but she covers that up with the numerous talents she's born with. So she's quite tough, enough to make you wonder if she's really a human. While she warps or uses guided shots, it's all straight from her perspective. What a mean shrine maiden.<br />

She's the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located at the edge of [[Gensokyo]] and (possibly) has ancient and honourable origins.<br/><br />
She's emotional and noisy, and has a presence wherever she is, but she merges into her surroundings quite easily.<br/><br />

Both her mind and body float in the sky of fantasy, a mysterious [[Shrine Maiden|shrine maiden]].<br/><br />
However powerful the opponent is, that means nothing in her presence.<br/><br />
As she evens out whatever status one has, she tends to attract anyone regardless of species, [[human]] or [[youkai]].<br />

Her weapons are amulets and a [[Yin-Yang orb]]. She is also preferred by mosquitoes.<br />

:She teams with [[Yukari Yakumo|Yukari]] this time.<br />
:Focused speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.<br />
:She lacks a bit in damage, but is quite easy to use and doesn't need much memorization.<br />
:She's quite strong, especially against smaller enemies.<br />
:In a word, dastardly.<br />

<br />
She treats everyone fairly and equally, which makes her well-liked by even the feared being such as [[youkai]]. On the flip side, she doesn't see anyone as a comrade. Since there are a great number of humans and youkai around her, there are instances where she works together with them, but even so, she usually does things by herself alone. <br />
She might just truly be a cold-hearted kind of human...<br />

普通に寝ていたが幾ら寝ても夜が明けない。幾らなんでもこれは異常すぎると思って、神社を飛び出してきた。夜中の出動は珍しくないが、十分すぎるほど睡眠を取った後の夜中の出動は珍しい。でもこの暗さはなんとなく眠く感じるものである。この騒動に決着がついたら、また一眠りしよう、と考えながら強い妖気を目指して竹林まで来たのだが、そこで見た犯人は良く見知った人間と妖怪だった。<br />

<br />
The all-too-familiar shrine maiden.<br />
<br />
The morning that she was expecting to see after a full night's sleep didn't greet her. She thought that something very strange was going on, so she left the shrine to investigate. It's not unusual for her to go out at night, but going out at midnight just after having taken a full night's rest was most unusual. Anyway, nights always make her sleepy, so she'll be going back to bed once the issue is resolved. She followed a trail of power into a bamboo forest, and what she found were very familiar faces...<br />

She's the kind of shrine maiden that's ever-so-carefree and doesn't think about anything.<br><br />
Whenever a disturbance occurs, she'd immediately rush to resolve it. Nevertheless, she'd never manage to rid herself of all disturbances around her.<br><br />
Rather, it might be the case that she attracts disturbances to herself.<br />

<br/><br />
Race: Human<br/><br />

<br/><br />
The all-too-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine located on the border of Gensokyo. The Hakurei Shrine itself exists simultaneously in both Gensokyo and the Outside World.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
She has always been able to bring incidents to closure with her intuitions, but she hasn't the slightest idea of the cause of this flower incident.<br/><br />
In multiplayer games such as this installment of the Touhou Series, it's hard to pinpoint which character is the main character. However, even though Reimu doesn't stand out at all, why does she always look like one?<br />

The all-too-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
She treats everyone basically the same way. However, since her job is hunting [[youkai]], she takes a fairly strict stance against youkai, but she's actually equally uninterested in humans and youkai.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
This time, there's a conspiracy surrounding her gods. She may be their spokesperson, but her circumstances as a youkai hunter are different, so she feels a bit lost.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Her weapons are amulets and yin-yang balls. Her piety seems light.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Her fighting style generally relies on equipment that lends a sense of stability.<br />

It was there, within the mountain distance away from the human village, in the far off country in the East—Gensokyo. It has been a while since it was separated from the outside world by the Barrier, which the youkai made.<br/><br />
Things that were forgotten from this world, things that were no longer needed, have been gathered around at the place. Due to such nature, Gensokyo should have become a paradise for the youkai.<br/><br />
Reimu Hakurei is too, one of the people residing in Gensokyo, who makes her living by exterminating youkai.<br/><br />

<br />
特技 万有霊力の法則<br />
<br />
霊力ゲージが他のキャラより長くなっており、<br/><br />

攻撃をガードして多少霊力を減らされても余裕が出ます。<br />

| translation ='''The Advocate of the Myriad Gods, Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
The normally calm humans and the always-energetic youkai<br/><br />
are both in a state of excitement.<br/><br />
Their blood is boiling for one reason.<br/><br />
From here on, the shrine maiden and her rivals will be battling it out.<br/><br />
Emerge victorious in this battle, and acquire unwavering popularity!<br />
<br />
'''Special skill: Law of Universal Spirit Power'''<br />
<br />
Reimu's spirit power gauge is longer than the other characters',<br/><br />
so her maximum spirit power is increased.<br/><br />
She can use more ranged attacks and special attacks,<br/><br />
and even if she loses some spirit power while guarding attacks, she'll still have more in supply.<br/><br />
<br />
'''Last Word: Fantasy Nature'''<br />
<br />
Reimu adopts a stance, and by taking an enemy melee attack, she creates an opening,<br/><br />
and then surrounds the enemy with massive amounts of ofuda and annihilates them in her most powerful attack.<br/><br />
If it's at point-blank range, guarding against it is impossible,<br/><br />
so it's also easy to wear down and flatten opponents fearful of the counter.<br />

Her Occult Attack is “The Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier”.<br/><br />
It’s a projectile-type attack that opens a gap in mid-air, where from wreckage flies towards the opponent.<br />
Since Reimu herself moves independently from the gap, she can also attack simultaneously.<br />

The all-too-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.<br />
<br />
Beast spirits had begun to invade from Hell en masse.<br><br />
A beast spirit that was cooperative with humans told her that it'd lend her its power, so she decided to go to Hell.<br><br />
She wasn't completely convinced by what the spirit had told her, but she would be more powerful than if she went to Hell by herself, and she could always just defeat the beast spirit itself if things came to that, so she decided that it didn't pose any disadvantage to her.<br />

Mysterious cards were circulating in the streets.<br><br />
She sensed that the secrets of humans and youkai were hidden within the cards, and felt she had no choice but to investigate.<br><br />
For starters, her plan was to search around wherever she could for those selling the cards, and seize them en masse.<br />

| text = 泣く子も黙る主人公です。殆どの作品に登場します。六作品目に当たる紅魔郷ですが、それ以前の霊夢とは若干設定を変えて、再スタートした霊夢です。<br/><br />
強大の力を持っている筈なのに、どこか頼りなく、妖怪退治をしているはずなのに人間よりも妖怪に慕われやすい所に、不真面目な魅力を感じます。霊夢が主人公にありがちの、正義感があり真面目で悩むと仲間の多い人間だったら、東方は全く別の話になってたんでしょうね。<br />
| translation = Our infamous protagonist. She appears throughout most of the series. In the 6th title of the series, EoSD, I changed Reimu's design a lot and she became quite different compared to Reimu in previous titles. You can say she's Reimu reintroduced.<br/><br />
She's supposed to be a powerhouse, yet she's unreliable here and there. She's supposed to be the youkai exterminator, yet she's more liked by youkai than humans in comparison. With those traits, she shows her charm through such frivolity. If Reimu were the conventional type of protagonist who's dead serious about justice while having tons of companions, we'd be talking about a completely different story that is nothing like Touhou.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Reimu Hakurei'''|博麗 霊夢|Hakurei Reimu}} is the main protagonist of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' series along with the deuteragonist, [[Marisa Kirisame]]. As the [[shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], she manages the [[Hakurei Border]] of [[Gensokyo]] and exterminates troublesome [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Reimu Hakurei is a person that can be described by her desires, such as the desire to be wanted, to have good food, and to find happiness. Her biggest internal conflict comes from balancing her duties as the Hakurei shrine maiden and her own desires, though she does not seem to prefer acknowledging many of her internal conflicts.<br />
<br />
Her duty as the Hakurei shrine maiden gives Reimu a sense of purpose and identity, however, it conflicts with her desires in that it distances her from others and has her dealing with incidents and other related problems on a frequent basis. Despite her duty making it seem as though she antagonizes youkai, in truth, she wishes for peace between humans and youkai. <br />
<br />
Reimu is generally a joyful and airheaded person. She’s also incredibly prideful and quite arrogant due to it. She’s often seen in a good mood until her routines are broken by some outside influence, be it a youkai or the like. She’s the type to be quite grumpy and quick to anger, but she’s also quick to forget.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Ability to float<br />
While many inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] are capable of flying, Reimu's ability extends beyond that; she is someone who excels at floating through ''life'', displaying a level of oneness with her surroundings that has been compared to a [[hermit]]. While she "goes with the flow" Reimu displays superhuman instincts and incredible luck, naturally ending up on the path of least resistance through most situations; conversely, when distracted or acting with impure motives she quickly loses her edge.<ref>''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'': Chapter 18</ref> On one occasion observers saw Reimu dodging an attack "like she was made of air" while Reimu herself saw the attack swerving to avoid her;<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 03|Chapter 3]]</ref> on another Reimu unknowingly walked across a river without getting wet, by stepping on fish that swam beneath her feet.<ref>''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'': Chapter 2</ref> This also makes Reimu's techniques extremely hard for [[Marisa Kirisame]] to learn from, since even Reimu herself has trouble explaining what she's doing. The ultimate expression of this ability is ''Fantasy Nature'', which allows Reimu to float away from reality and become impossible to attack; this was considered too powerful for use as a [[spell card]] until Marisa gave it a name and time limit.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards|Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
;Aura manipulation<br />
It's stated in the {{nihongo|omake.txt|おまけ.txt}} of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' that Reimu can control the natural spirits of living things, an ability which isn't listed in any source afterwards. No clear instance of this ability has ever been displayed.<br />
<br />
;Powers as the [[Hakurei]] [[Shrine Maiden]]<br />
[[File:SSIBCH10ReimuSummoning.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu invoking the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
As the [[Hakurei Shrine|Hakurei]] shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, and is trained in [[youkai]] extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of channeling [[Gensokyo]]'s [[god]]s, but she isn't well-trained enough to do so reliably.<br />
<br />
;Barrier techniques<br />
Reimu displays great aptitude with magical barriers (beyond that normally associated with [[shrine maiden]]s), presumably related to her work in maintaining the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. Among her techniques are barriers that explode, push enemies (or herself), or allow her to teleport. Reimu is capable of dismantling barriers and seals too complex for [[Marisa Kirisame]]<ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Marisa's Scenario|Marisa's scenario]]</ref><ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Reimu's Scenario|Reimu's scenario]]</ref> and [[Patchouli Knowledge]]<ref>''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'': Chapter 15</ref> to understand, with what Marisa calls her "cheat technique".<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'': Chapter 7</ref><br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
During the events of [[Urban Legend in Limbo]], and at least until the end of [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]], Reimu aquired abilities based on the "Gap Woman" urban legend. This allowed her to open gaps similar to the ones used by [[Yukari Yakumo]], which she used as portals for herself<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'':Chapter 51</ref> or to attack.<ref>[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]/[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]] - "Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier" Skill</ref><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Reimu is the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and one of the main "incident resolvers" in Gensokyo. She and others characterize the time she spends at the shrine as largely boring and uneventful. While she is sometimes serious about her duties, she can't seem to get many worshippers at her shrine. It appears that youkai extermination is her only method of earning even a thin salary. <br />
<br />
[[Yukari Yakumo]] describes Reimu's job as not being that of a youkai exterminator, but rather a "balancer between humans and youkai", who prevents youkai from attacking humans and humans from becoming youkai.<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]:Chapter 53''</ref><br />
<br />
''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' depicts Reimu as frequently coming up with various schemes to make money, which generally fail due to her own lack of foresight.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
In most of the Touhou games, Reimu uses the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s in combat. In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' they also functioned as communicators with people above the surface. In addition, she usually carries a gohei, sometimes referred to as her [[purification rod]], originally prepared by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]].<br />
<br />
She also possesses a great amount of [[ofuda]], sacred paper charms with anti-[[youkai]] properties that she uses to fight, seal or exterminate youkai of any kind in her [[danmaku]]. Apparently, she can also use them to create barriers and even clones of herself.<ref> ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - Skill Card: [[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Spell Cards/Reimu Hakurei#Skill Card 11|Instant Dimensional Rift]]</ref> Like the Yin-Yang Orbs, she uses them in most, if not all, games she has appeared in, either as a normal shot (usually with homing properties) or as bullets for her [[spell card]]s. Aside from this, the other projectile she uses is a large collection of throwing needles hidden within her sleeves.<br />
<br />
===Machinery===<br />
In PC-98 canon, she possesses a robot called [[Ruukoto]], given to her by [[Yumemi Okazaki]] as a reward for defeating her. Ruukoto has not been seen outside of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Not much is known about Reimu's history prior to the events of the games. Her earliest mention in the Gensokyo timeline is four to five years prior to Chapter 22 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', which took place in 2006. [[ZUN]] does mention in one of his [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] documents that there was a previous Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and it's generally assumed that there's a line of them.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 25 of [[Wild and Horned Hermit]], with night's darkness fast approaching, an annoyed Reimu remarks, "Believe not they will be around for you always: parents and daylight". The quote was thought to imply that Reimu knew her parents, but they're gone and she's rather bitter about it. However, her line was modified from a haiku about the transient, changing nature of things, the original subjects being parents and money ({{lang|jp|いつまでも / あると思うな / 親と金}}). In chapter 2 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', Marisa remarks, "She was a foundling", though the context of this scene suggests that this could just be a throwaway line.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS reimu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Reimu Hakurei as a [[Shrine Maiden]] is likely inspired by other shrine maidens in video games such as Sayo-chan from ''[[Wikipedia:KiKi KaiKai|KiKi KaiKai]]''.<ref>[[Interview_on_Creative_Train|Interview on Creative Train]] Q: How was Touhou Born? A: ...honestly couldn't remember clearly why I named it "Touhou." At that point I had already decided to make a shmup in Japanese-style, and that's probably the reason. I really liked the game Kiki Kaikai where the protagonist was a shrine maiden - it's nostalgic, cute, and youkai were eerie in their own ways. The name Touhou was probably inspired by that. Sorry, it's such a long time and I really can't remember the exact details.</ref> In general, [[ZUN]] thought it was a good idea to include a [[shrine maiden]] in an STG compared to other typical futuristic STGs simply because it was unusual at the time of her creation.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Davison|first=Pete|title=Curtains for You: The History of Bullet Hell|url=https://www.usgamer.net/articles/curtains-for-you-the-history-of-bullet-hell|website=US Gamer|date=8 June 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Reimu's full name is {{nihongo||博麗 霊夢|Reimu Hakurei}}. The characters for Reimu's last name {{nihongo||博麗|Hakurei}} literally mean something along the lines of "esteemed companion". The first word {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:博|博]]|Haku}} means "wide" or "exposition" while {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:麗|麗]]|Rei}} means "lovely", "graceful", or "beautiful". Her first name {{nihongo||霊夢|Reimu|lit. "spirit/soul dream"}} is a relevant Japanese word that refers to a "divine revelation made through dreams".<br />
<br />
In the [[PC-98]] game era, her name was written with a slight difference. {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:靈|靈]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} was changed to {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:霊|霊]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} from ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' onwards. "{{lang|ja|靈}}" is an [[Wikipedia:Hyōgaiji|uncommon]] form of "{{lang|ja|霊}}" with identical meanings. In the Japanese community, "{{lang|ja|博麗靈夢}}" is used to refer to Reimu in the PC-98 era specifically. Incidentally, Chinese (Taiwanese) fans who use the [[wikipedia:Traditional Chinese characters|Traditional Chinese characters]] also adopt this style to refer to Reimu in general (old Japanese kanji form and traditional [[wikipedia:Chinese characters|hanzi]] are basically identical).<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Reimu is of moderate height. In PC-98 canon, she is depicted as having purple hair and eyes, and she wears a large red ribbon at the back of her head, and red tubes on her sidelocks. From [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]] to [[Mystic Square]] she wears an outfit like a traditional shrine maiden uniform, with a red hakama over a white kimono.<br />
<br />
However, her best known design is that of the Windows era. She has brown-black hair which varies in length and style between games (tending towards long and loose in later works), and her eyes vary from brown to red to even blue depending on the game, but she still wears a red ribbon and matching tubes on her sidelocks. She's still seen in her "shrine maiden uniform", but it now bears little in common with the standard uniform beyond the red-and-white colour scheme (which ZUN has acknowledged<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 3]]</ref>). This uniform consists of a red skirt (rather than the standard [[wikipedia:Hakama|hakama]]), a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon (a red ribbon in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' and ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', a blue one in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]], [[Subterranean Animism]], [[Hopeless Masquerade]], [[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' and ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''), and a pair of white detached sleeves which exposes her [[wikipedia:sarashi|sarashi]]. Due to the color scheme, she's occasionally called the "red-white shrine maiden"<ref>''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' - Extra stage</ref>. Her shaman clothing and her [[purification rod]] came from [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], but it's unknown who designs them. In chapter 7 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', she used chopsticks with her left hand, and it was stated that she was left-handed (this statement was deleted in the collected edition), but she held a pen with her right hand in ''Subterranean Animism''. It has been speculated by fans that, assuming this wasn't an art error, she may be ambidextrous or just used to writing with her right hand.<br />
<br />
On the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom's portraits, as well her larger portrait on the character selection screen, she appears with white gloves. These were removed in the final release of that game, but the gloves on the character selection screen were kept. She has no longer been depicted with these gloves ever since.<ref>[[:File:PCB Trial Portraits.png|Portraits used in the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom]]</ref><br />

A lone shrine sits Far East: the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. The powerful seal placed there has worn away, and many strange creatures are starting to come out. Now Reimu, seeking revenge (or possibly just to sate her curiosity), and armed with the shrine's treasure, the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, goes to the gate to face the [[Youkai|non-human]] creatures inside. The gate will lead to either [[Makai]] or [[Hell]] depending on which route the player chooses.<br />

With her faithful turtle [[Genjii]] and her trusty Yin-Yang Orbs, she sets out to find the one who caused the trouble. Her journey leads her to [[Rika]], the culprit, as well as [[Mima]], who has broken the seal placed on her in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'', and desires the power of the Yin-Yang Orbs for herself. Reimu is victorious in battle and learns the truth behind the Yin-Yang Orbs.<br />
<br />

:{{Main|Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream/Translation/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream Reimu's Scenario}}<br />
Things have been peaceful lately so Reimu has time to kill. When some old ruins appear near the shrine, promising a reward for whoever can manage to make it inside, she decides to enter a sort of tournament to decide who'll go in. This is the first time Reimu appeared as a [[boss]]. Assuming she's the player character, she defeats all six opponents and makes it inside to confront [[Chiyuri Kitashirakawa]] and [[Yumemi Okazaki]], who have come from the real world in search of proof of magic.

Reimu, noticing cherry petals blowing from the [[Netherworld]], decides to set out and stop the perpetrator from holding spring hostage. After making her way into the Netherworld, she comes to [[Hakugyokurou]], where the ghost [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] spends her time administrating the spirits of the dead. She was gathering the essence of spring to try and make the [[Saigyou Ayakashi]] bloom, but Reimu stops her before she completes it.

[[File:085BAiJRspecial IN.jpg|thumb|200px|Reimu in the Eternal Night Incident]]<br />
Yukari isn't able to sleep and discovers the full moon is nowhere to be found; it has been replaced with a fake moon, and the night appears to have stopped. She convinces Reimu into investigating the cause with her. After dealing with a few youkai, and [[Marisa Kirisame]] in particular, who demands to know why they've created this eternal night, they reach [[Eientei]], a house hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]. Once there, they either confront [[Eirin Yagokoro]] or [[Kaguya Houraisan]]. Eirin explains that she actually sealed the Earth away from the [[Moon]] in order to prevent the Lunarians from taking Kaguya back. Kaguya, however, has tired of hiding, and so challenges Reimu and Yukari to complete her five impossible requests. Once they're defeated, they undo the seal (and thus "return" the real moon to Gensokyo). Afterwards, they all decide to have a moon viewing. Later on, Kaguya sends them into another part of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost as a "test of guts" - but her true intentions are revealed to be trying to annoy [[Fujiwara no Mokou]], another immortal human, and her eternal rival.<br />
<br />

Reimu, who's usually easy-going, is disturbed by the amount of flowers blooming and, not to be the one who shrugs off her duties, goes on to search for answers. She fights through many opponents, including news reporter [[Aya Shameimaru]], in search of the truth. Eventually she reaches [[Muenzuka]], where the [[shinigami]] [[Komachi Onozuka]], who appears to have been slacking off on her job to manage said spirits. [[Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu]] appears after Reimu beats Komachi up, and explains what's happening - an awful lot of spirits of the dead suddenly arrived from the [[Human World]], and they're having trouble accomodating all of them. After a lecture, they do battle, and Reimu emerges victorious. The three of them have a flower viewing later on, where it's explained that as the spirits of the dead cross the [[Sanzu River]], the flowers' blooming will settle down.<br />
<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Mountain of Faith Reimu's Scenario}}<br />
Reimu's shrine has become a hotspot for [[youkai]], so she doesn't get many [[human]] visitors to do patronage. She receives a foreboding threat from a [[Sanae Kochiya|mysterious human visitor]], who demands that the [[Hakurei shrine]] be shut down and submit to another god. Reimu, always the optimist, decided to go to [[Youkai Mountain]] to face the goddess who's making these threats. She fights her way up to the [[Moriya Shrine]] and defeats its shrine maiden, [[Sanae Kochiya]], as well as its resident god, [[Kanako Yasaka]], thus saving her own shrine. Afterwards, Reimu summons everyone to the shrine to watch the autumn leaves, where she vouches for Sanae and Kanako and tells [[Nitori]] and [[Aya]] that they should invite them over for drinks sometime and generally get along. Sanae also tells Reimu that youkai are a good source of faith. A while later, Marisa brings Reimu the rumor that a second god is actually living at the Moriya Shrine, and she goes to check it out. She then meets [[Suwako Moriya]] and defeats her.<br />

A geyser appears behind [[Hakurei Shrine]], and at first Reimu is happy, since its heat will alleviate the cold of winter. However, [[Evil spirit|evil spirit]]s begin emerging from the earth and loitering about [[Gensokyo]]. Reimu is sent to investigate with either [[Yukari Yakumo]], [[Suika Ibuki]], or [[Aya Shameimaru]], depending on what shot type the player chooses. She communicates them throughout her trip via her Yin-Yang Orbs. She heads straight to the [[Underworld]], and fights her way deeper and deeper until reaching the [[Palace of the Earth Spirits]]. There she meets [[Satori Komeiji]], whose two pets apparently have something to do with it. Reimu defeats [[Rin Kaenbyou]], then reaches [[Utsuho Reiuji]], who, with her newfound powers, is maintaining the hellfire that heats the Underground, and is responsible for the geysers that let the evil spirits leak out. She defeats her as well, then returns to the surface. Rin starts frequenting the shrine, though mostly for food, and eventually they make the geyser behind the shrine into a hot spring. Utsuho later explains how she came to possess such power, and it seems to point straight towards Kanako and Suwako, so Reimu sets off for the Youkai Mountain again. When she gets to the shrine, however, she meets [[Koishi Komeiji]], who was apparently also looking for who gave Utsuho those powers. Suwako comes out to meet them after they fight and explains it's all part of their "industrial revolution project".<br />

She follows them there and meets [[Byakuren Hijiri]], a Buddhist monk that loves youkai and humans equally. That certainly won't do, so Reimu beats her up. She and Byakuren later fly around the skies on the ship, but afterwards the ship is landed and renovated into the [[Myouren Temple]]. A little later, she follows up on the strange light that was following her during the journey, and it turns out to be [[Nue Houjuu]], a straggler from Byakuren's group.

The latter youkai tells Reimu that, on the surface, that black water is called “petroleum” and that it could be very profitable.<br />

:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Reimu|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Reimu}}<br />
Shortly after the events of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] attends a flower viewing at the [[Hakurei Shrine]], where she meets Reimu, who's in a foul mood since no one wants to help her clean up after event. Aya plies her with sake and questions her about the incident, commenting in the article that "Reimu just seems to be a laid-back drunkard".<br />
In the follow-up interview, Reimu claims Aya's paper is full of lies and insists her account of the incident is true, though Aya still doesn't recognize Reimu's deeds.<br />
<br />
;''Silent Sinner in Blue''<br />
Sometime not long after the events of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Reimu is recruited by the members of the Scarlet Devil Mansion to power their rocket to the moon. The group is defeated by the Watatsuki sisters, who keep Reimu on the moon for a short period of time to clear their names before returning her unharmed to Gensokyo. Unbeknownst to almost everyone involved, their voyage was simply one part of a complex ploy by Yukari to intimidate the residents of Eientei.<br />

;''Symposium of Post-mysticism''<br />
[[File:ThGK Bunbunmaru12.jpg|thumb|200px|Reimu in ''SoPm'', with her shrine destroyed]]<br />
:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 12|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism Article: Reimu}}<br />
In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Reimu appeared on part 6 of the symposium. It was stated that Reimu was hiding and hearing over the whole symposium, that was attended by [[Hieda no Akyuu]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. When she was revealed by Akyuu, Marisa noticed that she had an angry look on her face (although she seems to not be angry with Akyuu). That's because she's not happy with the discussion the group was having, believing that it's all nonsense. She slammed a pile of newspapers in front of them to prove how bad the [[youkai]] are and tells them to stop the symposium immediately. She was requested by the [[human]]s of the [[Human Village]] to stop this as they were aware – and felt uncomfortable – of "non-humans" discussing on changing the way of Gensokyo's life. The group were unhappy with her personality and her way of "fight-first, ask-later" attitude towards youkai, and can't even spend another minute finishing their sake.<br />
<br />
There was also an article included, written by [[Aya Shameimaru]], that involved Reimu's broken-down [[Hakurei Shrine]] during the events of ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''. It stated that it collapsed due to a localised earthquake and that the roof caved into the shrine. Aya found it suspicious that a [[celestial]], that been [[Tenshi Hinanawi]], came to help and re-build it.<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
Reimu finds her shrine frequented by a mysterious hermit going by the name of [[Kasen Ibaraki]]. ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' follows the various escapades and adventures of Reimu and her friends in concurrence to the timeline of the games. Reimu in ''WaHH'' is generally short-sighted and obsessed with making a profit.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
When book-lender [[Kosuzu Motoori]] of the [[Human Village]] begins dabbling with demon books, Reimu finds herself frequently having to sort out the incidents caused by the youkai that are released from them. In contrast to ''Wild and Horned Hermit'', which is fairly lighthearted, ''Forbidden Scrollery'' depicts Reimu as a shrine maiden who struggles to maintain the image of a protector for the Human Village while maintaining the masquerade set in place by the youkai.<br />
<br />
===Seihou Project===<br />
[[File:Sh01Reimu.png|thumb|Reimu as she appears in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''.]]<br />
{{seihou note|section}}<br />
;''Shuusou Gyoku''<br />
{{Main|Shuusou Gyoku/Story/Extra Scenario|l1=Shuusou Gyoku: Extra Scenario}}<br />
[[File:Sh01ReimuSprite.png|frame|left|Reimu sprite in ''SSG'']]<br />
Reimu has made a guest appearance as the second Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', a [[danmaku]] game series by the junior doujin circle "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]", where [[ZUN]] also contributed music and art to the game. It seems like ZUN put her in the game along with [[Marisa Kirisame]]. Her title was "Eternal Shrine Maiden" and her theme was "Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Ancients". To add to this, [[Yuuka Kazami]] made a guest appearances in the following work, ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have no view towards the [[Seihou World]]; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery. After VIVIT defeated Marisa at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in [[Gensokyo]], Marisa was then thudded by Reimu for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Reimu attacked her with two [[purification rod]]s before she could explain what she was doing. After Reimu lost, VIVIT told her that she was looking for the [[Holy Grail]], causing Reimu to become confused and start asking questions.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Although Reimu often shows up as the main character, she doesn't participate in mundane activities to the extent [[Marisa Kirisame]] does, limiting her familiarity with most of [[Gensokyo]]'s population. Nevertheless, she has interacted with almost every other character that has ever made a physical appearance, with a few exceptions such as the [[Giant Catfish]], [[Renko Usami]], and [[Maribel Hearn]].<br />
<br />
===Marisa Kirisame===<br />
[[File:SSiBArtWallpaper1.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa, in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
Reimu’s closest friend is Marisa Kirisame, and the two of them spend most of their time together. They are seen together most often in the print works, game and extra stage prologues where they hang out at the shrine together, chatting about the latest rumors and news in Gensokyo. They’ve known each other since childhood and have been close ever since. <br />
<br />
Reimu and Marisa often quarrel and spar with each other, for reasons ranging from resolving incidents to hotpot ingredients. Regardless, they usually resolve their differences and continue being as close as ever.<br />
<br />
They’ve also worked together on numerous occasions, such as when they chased down an enenra, or worked to exterminate a vengeful spirit. Though generally, they solve incidents at their own pace.<br />
<br />
===Yukari Yakumo===<br />
Despite her antagonistic personality, [[Yukari Yakumo]] mentors Reimu by pushing her to increase her spiritual powers, such as learning how to invoke the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. In that case, Reimu followed her instructions and orders to train hard despite Yukari not informing Reimu why she needed to do so, displaying how much Reimu either trusts Yukari or has decided it's pointless to argue with her (or both). Yukari occasionally seeks Reimu's assistance in resolving incidents in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. In this regard, she is an employer of sorts, as she remarks about compensating Reimu accordingly during the [[Imperishable Night]] incident. Yukari is also secretly a benefactor as well, donating to the shrine behind Reimu's back. Reimu is unaware of that, however.<br />
<br />
===Rinnosuke Morichika===<br />
Reimu is familiar with [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], a shopkeeper who owns [[Kourindou]], who she sometimes visits to hang out or for wares (and sometimes shoplifts). She apparently has a large unpaid tab for requested items and services, but denies it since Rinnosuke "never accepts money" (which he denies being the case). Rinnosuke was also the one that originally prepared her [[purification rod]] for her use.<br />
<br />
===Sanae Kochiya===<br />
Despite being the priestess of a rival shrine, [[Sanae Kochiya]] is on friendly terms with Reimu and appears frequently in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' alongside Reimu and Marisa. She came on a bit strongly when she and Reimu first met, but she really thought she was helping the Hakurei Shrine out by attempting to get it to switch gods to [[Kanako Yasaka]]. After ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Sanae offered to help Reimu as a fellow shrine maiden to gather faith for the shrine, and she appears to have been friends with Reimu since then. Nonetheless, the two have no qualms about antagonizing the other at times, though these quarrels are usually resolved by the next time they meet.<br />
<br />
===Kasen Ibaraki===<br />
[[Kasen Ibaraki]] is a regular at the shrine and acts as a mentor (and sometimes guardian) of Reimu, whom she fears is too concerned with worldly desires. Kasen actually initially became Reimu's mentor as part of her own plan, but she continues to view herself as a mentor after her goals were achieved. Reimu mostly thinks of Kasen as a nagging, preachy busybody. However, Reimu often concedes, either because Kasen is usually right or she doesn't want to deal with her. Kasen is openly critical of Reimu, believing her to be too greedy and slack in her duties. In spite of this, Reimu views Kasen as a genuine friend. When fighting Kasen's arm, Reimu was unable to bring herself to fight Kasen whole-heartedly until she realized that the arm battling her was actually a separate entity from Kasen. By the present day, Reimu knows that Kasen is secretly an oni, but partially due to this friendship and partially due to owing Kasen for all the money that one of Kasen's schemes got her, Reimu can't tell anyone else about it.<br />
<br />
===Genjii===<br />
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Reimu used a [[turtle]] as a means for flight until the end of ''[[Mystic Square]]''; that turtle was [[Genjii]]. Reimu calls him "gramps".<br />
<br />
===Three Fairies of Light===<br />
Reimu is often the target of pranks by the [[Three Fairies of Light]], and Reimu tends to exterminate them on sight whenever she catches them (unless Marisa's escorting them). As of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', the three fairies moved into a tree near the [[Hakurei Shrine]] and become Reimu's neighbors, increasing the amount of pranks even more. Reimu aims to evict the fairies, but cannot find their treehouse, which is actually located on the [[Hakurei Border]]. Eventually, in an attempt to befriend Reimu so she'll no longer threaten them, the three fairies challenge her to a battle, reasoning that Reimu tends to befriend many youkai after fighting them. After an intense battle, Reimu finally defeats the fairies (instantly), and points out that their line of reasoning is utterly ridiculous. Despite this, Marisa finds that Reimu befriended the fairies after all, and as of the end of Oriental Sacred Place, the fairies now happily openly spend time at the shrine while helping Reimu out with various chores.<br />
<br />
===Byakuren Hijiri===<br />
Reimu views [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the [[Myouren Temple]] as a rival of sorts to herself and the Hakurei Shrine. In ''[[Ten Desires]]'', [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] points out that Reimu is friendly towards Byakuren. Although Reimu says they're religious rivals, she doesn't seem to deny it. In one of her ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' endings, Reimu is depressed at how quickly Byakuren's temple is picking up followers compared to her own shrine. By the time of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', Reimu is angry at the temple for stealing away her shrine's followers (ignoring that her shrine never had (m)any followers in the first place), but Byakuren seems unaware of this.<br />
<br />
===Kosuzu Motoori===<br />
[[Kosuzu Motoori]], the daughter of the book-lender in the Human Village, has a great deal of respect for Reimu. She is convinced that no harm will come to her from dealing with the youma books, because she is sure that Reimu will come save her if anything happens.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;The Hakurei God<br />
Reimu knows next to nothing about [[The Hakurei God|the god dwelling in her shrine]], making her unable to provide it with faith despite her efforts. Byakuren stated in one of the endings for ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' that the god is mad due to this.<br />
<br />
;Ruukoto<br />
In the PC-98 canon, she obtains a [[robot]]ic maid named [[Ruukoto]] as a servant at the end of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' though no reference has been made to it since.<br />
<br />
;Mima<br />
In the PC-98 canon, [[Mima]] is an [[Onryou#Akuryou|Akuryou]] who haunts the surroundings of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], after many confrontations and being resealed by Reimu, she decides to spend her days making fun of the shrine maiden.<br />
<br />
;Suika Ibuki<br />
[[Suika Ibuki]], who often freeloads her shrine after the events of ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' is also is her ally during ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Reimu saw Suika's presence as a nuisance at first, but never really bothered with driving her away.<br />
<br />
;Aya Shameimaru<br />
[[Aya Shameimaru]], the [[tengu]] reporter was also her ally during the events of ''Subterranean Animism''.<br />
<br />
;[[Misumaru Tamatsukuri]]<br />
Although Reimu never met her before the Ability Card Incident, she was responsible for creating the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s.<br />
<br />
;Unnamed kitsune & Unnamed kuda-gitsune<br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' Chapter 8, The [[Unnamed kitsune]] offered to help Reimu gain worshipers after being caught disguised as Marisa during a party at Hakurei Shrine. She was, however, deceiving Reimu by letting her use the powers of her kuda-gitsune. Using her ability, they gathered worshipers. [[Kasen Ibaraki]] discovered that these fox youkai had been consuming Reimu's willpower and wealth as payment for their help. However, they managed to walk away from the Hakurei Shrine with all her wealth.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Reimu is the most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games, with [[Marisa Kirisame]] coming second. Reimu appears in every Touhou game, two times more than Marisa, who didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and the minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]''.<br />
*Reimu appears on the cover of all five [[PC-98]] games.<br />
*Reimu seems to be scared during her boss battle with the [[Five Magic Stones]].<br />
*Most of her theme from ''Lotus Land Story'' sounds similar to [[Elis]] and [[Kikuri]]'s theme from ''Highly Responsive to Prayers'', "Magic Mirror".<br />
*It was originally stated that she lives alone at the shrine, but other rarely seen characters ([[Mima]] and [[SinGyoku]]) are known to stay there or near there as well. Even then, Reimu claims that most youkai visitors are nuisances, and she'd prefer to be left alone. [[Marisa Kirisame]] seems to be one of the few who she wouldn't drive away.<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Reimu is the only one whose partner doesn't mention the danger of the full moon.<br />
*Reimu's ultimate technique {{nihongo|'''Fantasy Nature'''|夢想天生|musou tensei|"innate fantasy gained at birth"}} is homophonous with the ultimate technique of the Hokuto Shinken school in ''[[wikipedia:Fist of the North Star|Fist of the North Star]]'', {{nihongo|'''Musou Tensei'''|無想転生|musou tensei|"nil-thought rebirth"}}, and has much the same effect.<br />
**In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', if you activate Fantasy Nature successfully in a 3rd round, a remix of "Eastern Mystical Love Consultation" will play which resembles ''Ai wo Torimodose'', the opening theme of the ''Fist of the North Star'' anime (an instrumental version of which usually plays whenever Kenshiro is about to win a fight).<br />
*In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', one of her alternative palettes looks similar to VIVIT. Also, one of her palettes seems to be another maid homage, [[Ruukoto]], or possibly [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s colours. The palette also seems to resemble Mima from ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]''. Her white/light gray palette seems to resemble [[wikipedia:Toki (Fist of the North Star)#Toki|Toki]] from Hokuto no Ken and possibly somewhat similar to her white outfit from the fangame ''[[Concealed the Conclusion]]''. <!--And finally, her white/light blue palette looks like a tribute to [http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Nanoha_Takamachi Nanoha], as they both tend to "befriend" their opponents with superior firepower.--><br />
*When playing Yukari's story mode in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', Reimu breaks down in tears in the ending after Yukari defeats [[Tenshi Hinanawi|Tenshi]] and reduces the Hakurei Shrine to rubble for the second time, with [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]] and [[Youmu Konpaku|Youmu]] looking on helplessly (although Suika offers to help rebuild it). This marks the first and only time where she's seen crying in a storyline scenario.<br />
*The shrine maiden at the end of ''[[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]'' is probably Reimu. She has Reimu's title, "Shrine Maiden of Paradise" (and her personality), and according to [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Music Columns|''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Music Column]], the shrine maiden in the song that accompanies the ending section is Reimu (so basically, this shrine maiden has Reimu's song and title). However, only the shrine maiden at the end is referred to as the shrine maiden of paradise. Thus it's possible that the shrine maiden seen in the first half of the story is a different person altogether.<br />
*A "13th Shrine Maiden" signs off the Gensokyo Record in [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Prologue|''Perfect Cherry Blossom'''s prologue]]. [[ZUN]] has stated in [[ZUN's E-mails|an e-mail]] that the Gensokyo Record is unreliable (for one thing, the writing style of each section shows it was written by a different person each time), thus "there's a high possibility that Reimu isn't the 13th Hakurei shrine maiden." (technically, this also means there's no proof that the person who wrote that section of the record is a shrine maiden at all). <br />
*It' is shown in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' that the shrine sometimes gets various donations (including wine) from unknown sources (implied to be from the [[Outside World|outside world]], as the [[Hakurei Shrine]] lies on the border) and Yukari is shown in ''Oriental Sacred Place'' to sneak yen donations into the offering box when Reimu isn't looking.<br />
*In [[Wild and Horned Hermit]] chapter 46, Reimu experiences a near-death experience because of food poisoning.<br />
**It is also revealed, in the same chapter, that she has trouble of taking care of herself.<br />
*Reimu appears on most of the series menu/title screen<br />

But anyway, with her spirit-power, she got quite some skills.<br /><br />
Her usual attacks -namely amulet-attacks, spirit-power discharging (霊撃 -Spirit strike-), melee skills- are useless to current enemies. She's in some trouble.<br /><br />
Currently, she's the only person in the shrine.<br />

博麗神社の巫女さん。才能はあるが修行不足。もともと修行は好きでない。強力な霊力でいままで幾多の魔法使い、悪霊、妖怪、そして神と闘ってきたらしい(理由、なんとなく)<br/><br />
いつも何か変な事に巻き込まれてしまうが、その半分は陰で魔理沙が引き起こしているらしい。霊夢は気づかないふりをしている。そんな魔理沙をしょうがない奴と考えている。<br/><br />

The [[shrine maiden]] of [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Talented, but lacks training. Basically, she doesn't like to train. They say she has fought plenty of [[magician]]s, evil spirits, [[youkai]] and even gods with her strong spiritual power (for no particular reason).<br><br />
She's always involved in some strange affairs, though she seems to be dragged into most of them due to [[Marisa Kirisame|Marisa]]. Reimu pretends not to notice this. She sees Marisa as essentially a hopeless case.<br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br/><br />
[[Shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and protagonist of the [[Touhou]] series. She appears quite carefree on the outside, and indeed deep down, she really is carefree. She lives in her shrine and is rarely visited by anyone, which causes her to be out of touch with current social norms. Even though she only extinguished certain sparks of conflict because they seemed to befall her without warning, her actions have generally resulted in preventing the residents of [[Gensokyo]] from visiting [[human]] settlements, and keeping outsiders away from wandering into Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />

<br />
Chronologically, this title isn't too far from the previous title, thus her age stays the same as before.<br />
<br />
There is nothing special about her being a [[shrine maiden]]. Or rather, she's a shrine maiden only because the [[Touhou]] series has become the "Shrine Maiden [[Shooting game|Shooting Game]]" series. It feels like the cart has been placed before the horse to me.<br/><br />
<br />
This time, her outfit isn't overly intricate like typical [[shrine maiden]] clothing, but has become quite simple and only remotely resembles that of a shrine maiden. Is she really a shrine maiden?<br />
<br />
She's more like "You, red-white!" in my opinion.<br/><br />

修行嫌いでもちろん修行不足のため、そこそこの腕前である。<br/><br />

[[Hakurei Shrine]]'s [[shrine maiden]], and the protagonist. Her mind might appear normal, but in fact it's like spring in full bloom.<br/><br />
The shrine is always haunted by [[youkai]], and they're very friendly to Reimu as well.<br/><br />
She's hardly performing the role of a shrine maiden at this point.<br/><br />
She hates training, and because of this, lacks ability. So her skill is quite so-so.<br/><br />
She hates to do her very best at anything that falls upon her.<br/><br />
That's because she doesn't believe that effort will be rewarded.<br/><br />
Because of that, the [[Hakurei Shrine]]'s paper fortune doesn't have {{nihongo|"Least luck"|末吉}}<br/><br />
''[Typically, a shrine's paper fortune has {{nihongo|Best luck|大吉}}, {{nihongo|Medium luck|中吉}}, {{nihongo|Little luck|小吉}}, {{nihongo|Least luck|末吉}}, {{nihongo|Misfortune|凶}} and {{nihongo|Worst misfortune|大凶}}. "{{lang|ja|末吉}}" is usually interpreted as "You'll get exactly as your effort"]''<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />
<br />
:She has a smaller [[hit box]], and her focused movement allows player to dodge very precisely.<br />
:Spirit Sign's "Hakurei Amulet" is quite easy to use. It allows you to focus on dodging bullets.<br />
:On the other hand, Dream Sign's "Extermination" wields destructive power of the highest class.<br />
:Bosses are killed quickly, but the invincibility duration of her bombs is the shortest of all characters. It's also lacking in both effective radius and damage.<br />

<br /><br />
主に空を飛ぶ程度の能力を持つ。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
基本的に巫女さん。幻想郷の境にある博麗神社の巫女さん。博麗神社自体は、幻想郷と人間界の両方に位置する。<br /><br />
・・<br /> その境が博麗神社境内である。どちらからみても、人里離れた山奥に存在し、大きさもさほど無いし、御利益もゆかりも何も無い小さな神社なので、どのみち参拝客は殆ど来ない。<br /><br />
この神社の中では、殆どの結界は無効化される。それだけ、幻想郷と人間界の境、博麗大結界の力は大きいのである。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
幻想郷で唯一、博麗の者だけが規律を持つ。その為、霊夢は一応制服のような物を着用している(他にも規律はあるはずなのだが・・・)紅白の服を着て、幻想郷の端っこから、幻想郷の空を見つめつつ、お茶でも飲むのが日課である。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
元々、霊夢は不思議な力を色々使えるが、それを活用したり自慢したりはしない。すべては在るがままに、である。<br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
She possess the ability to mainly fly in the air.<br />
<br />
Basically, she's a [[shrine maiden]]. The shrine maiden of [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located on the boundary of [[Gensokyo]].<br/><br />
The Hakurei Shrine exists in both Gensokyo and the world of [[human]]s at the same time.<br/><br />
The boundary is the home territory of the Hakurei Shrine. From both sides, it's located at a very remote place from human villages, and is also kind of small, and has no known history or benefits. So it's no wonder that it rarely gets any visitors.<br/><br />
Inside the shrine, almost all foreign boundaries has been nullified. That alone should say that the Hakurei Boundary, the boundary between Gensokyo and the world of humans, is amazingly powerful.<br />
<br />
Only those of the Hakurei have rules to follow in [[Gensokyo]]. Therefore, Reimu always wears clothes that's apparently some kind of uniform (she's supposed to have ''many'' other rules too, though...). Her daily routine consists of wearing red-white, staring at Gensokyo's sky from the edge of Gensokyo, and drinking tea.<br />
<br />
By nature, Reimu can use various mysterious powers, but she doesn't use them or boast about them. Everything is, as is, after all.<br />

<br />
A typical [[shrine maiden]] from Hakurei Shrine. She always lives on ideas off the top of her head, and doesn't consider something seriously. The only thing she does that actually resembles a shrine maiden's duties is enjoying tea and life on the veranda.<br />
<br />
She's quite simple-minded, thus when she's angry she's angry, and when she smiles she smiles. Her open personality makes her well-liked by both [[human]]s and [[youkai]]. Due to that, many people stay close to the shrine.<br />
<br />
She lacks training in both melee and spells (or rather, she rarely does them), but she covers that up with the numerous talents she's born with. So she's quite tough, enough to make you wonder if she's really a human. While she warps or uses guided shots, it's all straight from her perspective. What a mean shrine maiden.<br />

She's the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located at the edge of [[Gensokyo]] and (possibly) has ancient and honourable origins.<br/><br />
She's emotional and noisy, and has a presence wherever she is, but she merges into her surroundings quite easily.<br/><br />
Her ability is being able to fly, that is, being weightless.<br/><br />
The gravity of Earth, any level of stress, and threats of power all mean nothing to her.<br/><br />
Both her mind and body float in the sky of fantasy, a mysterious [[Shrine Maiden|shrine maiden]].<br/><br />
However powerful the opponent is, that means nothing in her presence.<br/><br />
As she evens out whatever status one has, she tends to attract anyone regardless of species, [[human]] or [[youkai]].<br />

Her weapons are amulets and a [[Yin-Yang orb]]. She is also preferred by mosquitoes.<br />
<br />
:''Notes''<br />
:She teams with [[Yukari Yakumo|Yukari]] this time.<br />
:Focused speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.<br />
:She lacks a bit in damage, but is quite easy to use and doesn't need much memorization.<br />
:She's quite strong, especially against smaller enemies.<br />
:In a word, dastardly.<br />

<br />
She treats everyone fairly and equally, which makes her well-liked by even the feared being such as [[youkai]]. On the flip side, she doesn't see anyone as a comrade. Since there are a great number of humans and youkai around her, there are instances where she works together with them, but even so, she usually does things by herself alone. <br />
She might just truly be a cold-hearted kind of human...<br />

The morning that she was expecting to see after a full night's sleep didn't greet her. She thought that something very strange was going on, so she left the shrine to investigate. It's not unusual for her to go out at night, but going out at midnight just after having taken a full night's rest was most unusual. Anyway, nights always make her sleepy, so she'll be going back to bed once the issue is resolved. She followed a trail of power into a bamboo forest, and what she found were very familiar faces...<br />

今回の様なプレイヤーが多いゲームだと、何が主人公なのか判らなくなってしまう。でも、霊夢だけは目立たなくても主人公っぽいのは何故だろうか。<br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Race: Human<br/><br />
Ability: Flying in the air<br/><br />
<br/><br />
The all-too-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine located on the border of Gensokyo. The Hakurei Shrine itself exists simultaneously in both Gensokyo and the Outside World.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
She has always been able to bring incidents to closure with her intuitions, but she hasn't the slightest idea of the cause of this flower incident.<br/><br />
In multiplayer games such as this installment of the Touhou Series, it's hard to pinpoint which character is the main character. However, even though Reimu doesn't stand out at all, why does she always look like one?<br />

ただ、今回は神様を巡っての騒動である。神様の代弁者としても、ただの妖怪退治とは勝手が違って、戸惑い気味。<br /><br />

武器は御札と陰陽玉。信仰心は薄そう。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
攻撃性能は、全体的に無難な挙動で安定感のある装備となっています。<br />
| translation = '''Shrine Maiden of Paradise - Reimu Hakurei'''<br/><br />
The all-too-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
She treats everyone basically the same way. However, since her job is hunting [[youkai]], she takes a fairly strict stance against youkai, but she's actually equally uninterested in humans and youkai.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
This time, there's a conspiracy surrounding her gods. She may be their spokesperson, but her circumstances as a youkai hunter are different, so she feels a bit lost.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Her weapons are amulets and yin-yang balls. Her piety seems light.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Her fighting style generally relies on equipment that lends a sense of stability.<br />

<br /><br />
It was there, within the mountain distance away from the human village, in the far off country in the East—Gensokyo. It has been a while since it was separated from the outside world by the Barrier, which the youkai made.<br/><br />
Things that were forgotten from this world, things that were no longer needed, have been gathered around at the place. Due to such nature, Gensokyo should have become a paradise for the youkai.<br/><br />
Reimu Hakurei is too, one of the people residing in Gensokyo, who makes her living by exterminating youkai.<br/><br />

これから巫女とそのライバルによる決闘が 行われるというのだ。<br/><br />
この闘いに勝って人気を不動の物とせよ!<br />
<br />
特技 万有霊力の法則<br />
<br />
霊力ゲージが他のキャラより長くなっており、<br/><br />
霊力最大値がアップします。<br/><br />
射撃攻撃や必殺技をより多く使用でき、<br/><br />
攻撃をガードして多少霊力を減らされても余裕が出ます。<br />
<br />
ラストワード 夢想天生<br />
<br />
構えを取って相手の打撃を受け止めて隙を作り、<br/><br />
大量のお札で包囲して圧殺する霊夢の最終奥義です。<br/><br />
0距離であれば問答無用にガード不能で発動するため、<br/><br />

| translation ='''The Advocate of the Myriad Gods, Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
The normally calm humans and the always-energetic youkai<br/><br />
are both in a state of excitement.<br/><br />
Their blood is boiling for one reason.<br/><br />
From here on, the shrine maiden and her rivals will be battling it out.<br/><br />
Emerge victorious in this battle, and acquire unwavering popularity!<br />
<br />
'''Special skill: Law of Universal Spirit Power'''<br />
<br />
Reimu's spirit power gauge is longer than the other characters',<br/><br />
so her maximum spirit power is increased.<br/><br />
She can use more ranged attacks and special attacks,<br/><br />
and even if she loses some spirit power while guarding attacks, she'll still have more in supply.<br/><br />
<br />
'''Last Word: Fantasy Nature'''<br />
<br />
Reimu adopts a stance, and by taking an enemy melee attack, she creates an opening,<br/><br />
and then surrounds the enemy with massive amounts of ofuda and annihilates them in her most powerful attack.<br/><br />
If it's at point-blank range, guarding against it is impossible,<br/><br />
so it's also easy to wear down and flatten opponents fearful of the counter.<br />

A well balanced standard character who fights with both projectiles and physical attacks.<br/><br />
Recommended to beginners who want to learn of the duels of this world.<br/><br />
<br />
Her Occult Attack is “The Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier”.<br/><br />
It’s a projectile-type attack that opens a gap in mid-air, where from wreckage flies towards the opponent.<br />
Since Reimu herself moves independently from the gap, she can also attack simultaneously.<br />

| text = 泣く子も黙る主人公です。殆どの作品に登場します。六作品目に当たる紅魔郷ですが、それ以前の霊夢とは若干設定を変えて、再スタートした霊夢です。<br/><br />
強大の力を持っている筈なのに、どこか頼りなく、妖怪退治をしているはずなのに人間よりも妖怪に慕われやすい所に、不真面目な魅力を感じます。霊夢が主人公にありがちの、正義感があり真面目で悩むと仲間の多い人間だったら、東方は全く別の話になってたんでしょうね。<br />
| translation = Our infamous protagonist. She appears throughout most of the series. In the 6th title of the series, EoSD, I changed Reimu's design a lot and she became quite different compared to Reimu in previous titles. You can say she's Reimu reintroduced.<br/><br />
She's supposed to be a powerhouse, yet she's unreliable here and there. She's supposed to be the youkai exterminator, yet she's more liked by youkai than humans in comparison. With those traits, she shows her charm through such frivolity. If Reimu were the conventional type of protagonist who's dead serious about justice while having tons of companions, we'd be talking about a completely different story that is nothing like Touhou.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Reimu Hakurei'''|博麗 霊夢|Hakurei Reimu}} is the main protagonist of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' series along with the deuteragonist, [[Marisa Kirisame]]. As the [[shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], she manages the [[Hakurei Border]] of [[Gensokyo]] and exterminates troublesome [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Reimu Hakurei is a person that can be described by her desires, such as the desire to be wanted, to have good food, and to find happiness. Her biggest internal conflict comes from balancing her duties as the Hakurei shrine maiden and her own desires, though she does not seem to prefer acknowledging many of her internal conflicts.<br />
<br />
Her duty as the Hakurei shrine maiden gives Reimu a sense of purpose and identity, however, it conflicts with her desires in that it distances her from others and has her dealing with incidents and other related problems on a frequent basis. Despite her duty making it seem as though she antagonizes youkai, in truth, she wishes for peace between humans and youkai. <br />
<br />
Reimu is generally a joyful and airheaded person. She’s also incredibly prideful and quite arrogant due to it. She’s often seen in a good mood until her routines are broken by some outside influence, be it a youkai or the like. She’s the type to be quite grumpy and quick to anger, but she’s also quick to forget.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Ability to float<br />
While many inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] are capable of flying, Reimu's ability extends beyond that; she is someone who excels at floating through ''life'', displaying a level of oneness with her surroundings that has been compared to a [[hermit]]. While she "goes with the flow" Reimu displays superhuman instincts and incredible luck, naturally ending up on the path of least resistance through most situations; conversely, when distracted or acting with impure motives she quickly loses her edge.<ref>''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'': Chapter 18</ref> On one occasion observers saw Reimu dodging an attack "like she was made of air" while Reimu herself saw the attack swerving to avoid her;<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 03|Chapter 3]]</ref> on another Reimu unknowingly walked across a river without getting wet, by stepping on fish that swam beneath her feet.<ref>''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'': Chapter 2</ref> This also makes Reimu's techniques extremely hard for [[Marisa Kirisame]] to learn from, since even Reimu herself has trouble explaining what she's doing. The ultimate expression of this ability is ''Fantasy Nature'', which allows Reimu to float away from reality and become impossible to attack; this was considered too powerful for use as a [[spell card]] until Marisa gave it a name and time limit.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards|Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
;Aura manipulation<br />
It's stated in the {{nihongo|omake.txt|おまけ.txt}} of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' that Reimu can control the natural spirits of living things, an ability which isn't listed in any source afterwards. No clear instance of this ability has ever been displayed.<br />
<br />
;Powers as the [[Hakurei]] [[Shrine Maiden]]<br />
[[File:SSIBCH10ReimuSummoning.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu invoking the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
As the [[Hakurei Shrine|Hakurei]] shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, and is trained in [[youkai]] extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of channeling [[Gensokyo]]'s [[god]]s, but she isn't well-trained enough to do so reliably.<br />
<br />
;Barrier techniques<br />
Reimu displays great aptitude with magical barriers (beyond that normally associated with [[shrine maiden]]s), presumably related to her work in maintaining the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. Among her techniques are barriers that explode, push enemies (or herself), or allow her to teleport. Reimu is capable of dismantling barriers and seals too complex for [[Marisa Kirisame]]<ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Marisa's Scenario|Marisa's scenario]]</ref><ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Reimu's Scenario|Reimu's scenario]]</ref> and [[Patchouli Knowledge]]<ref>''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'': Chapter 15</ref> to understand, with what Marisa calls her "cheat technique".<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'': Chapter 7</ref><br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
During the events of [[Urban Legend in Limbo]], and at least until the end of [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]], Reimu aquired abilities based on the "Gap Woman" urban legend. This allowed her to open gaps similar to the ones used by [[Yukari Yakumo]], which she used as portals for herself<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'':Chapter 51</ref> or to attack.<ref>[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]/[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]] - "Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier" Skill</ref><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Reimu is the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and one of the main "incident resolvers" in Gensokyo. She and others characterize the time she spends at the shrine as largely boring and uneventful. While she is sometimes serious about her duties, she can't seem to get many worshippers at her shrine. It appears that youkai extermination is her only method of earning even a thin salary. <br />
<br />
[[Yukari Yakumo]] describes Reimu's job as not being that of a youkai exterminator, but rather a "balancer between humans and youkai", who prevents youkai from attacking humans and humans from becoming youkai.<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]:Chapter 53''</ref><br />
<br />
''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' depicts Reimu as frequently coming up with various schemes to make money, which generally fail due to her own lack of foresight.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
In most of the Touhou games, Reimu uses the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s in combat. In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' they also functioned as communicators with people above the surface. In addition, she usually carries a gohei, sometimes referred to as her [[purification rod]], originally prepared by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]].<br />
<br />
She also possesses a great amount of [[ofuda]], sacred paper charms with anti-[[youkai]] properties that she uses to fight, seal or exterminate youkai of any kind in her [[danmaku]]. Apparently, she can also use them to create barriers and even clones of herself.<ref> ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - Skill Card: [[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Spell Cards/Reimu Hakurei#Skill Card 11|Instant Dimensional Rift]]</ref> Like the Yin-Yang Orbs, she uses them in most, if not all, games she has appeared in, either as a normal shot (usually with homing properties) or as bullets for her [[spell card]]s. Aside from this, the other projectile she uses is a large collection of throwing needles hidden within her sleeves.<br />
<br />
===Machinery===<br />
In PC-98 canon, she possesses a robot called [[Ruukoto]], given to her by [[Yumemi Okazaki]] as a reward for defeating her. Ruukoto has not been seen outside of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Not much is known about Reimu's history prior to the events of the games. Her earliest mention in the Gensokyo timeline is four to five years prior to Chapter 22 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', which took place in 2006. [[ZUN]] does mention in one of his [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] documents that there was a previous Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and it's generally assumed that there's a line of them.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 25 of [[Wild and Horned Hermit]], with night's darkness fast approaching, an annoyed Reimu remarks, "Believe not they will be around for you always: parents and daylight". The quote was thought to imply that Reimu knew her parents, but they're gone and she's rather bitter about it. However, her line was modified from a haiku about the transient, changing nature of things, the original subjects being parents and money ({{lang|jp|いつまでも / あると思うな / 親と金}}). In chapter 2 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', Marisa remarks, "She was a foundling", though the context of this scene suggests that this could just be a throwaway line.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS reimu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Reimu Hakurei as a [[Shrine Maiden]] is likely inspired by other shrine maidens in video games such as Sayo-chan from ''[[Wikipedia:KiKi KaiKai|KiKi KaiKai]]''. In general, [[ZUN]] thought it was a good idea to include a [[shrine maiden]] in an STG compared to other typical futuristic STGs simply because it was unusual at the time of her creation.<ref>[[Interview_on_Creative_Train|Interview on Creative Train]] Q: How was Touhou Born? A: ...honestly couldn't remember clearly why I named it "Touhou." At that point I had already decided to make a shmup in Japanese-style, and that's probably the reason. I really liked the game Kiki Kaikai where the protagonist was a shrine maiden - it's nostalgic, cute, and youkai were eerie in their own ways. The name Touhou was probably inspired by that. Sorry, it's such a long time and I really can't remember the exact details.</ref><br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Reimu's full name is {{nihongo||博麗 霊夢|Reimu Hakurei}}. The characters for Reimu's last name {{nihongo||博麗|Hakurei}} literally mean something along the lines of "esteemed companion". The first word {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:博|博]]|Haku}} means "wide" or "exposition" while {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:麗|麗]]|Rei}} means "lovely", "graceful", or "beautiful". Her first name {{nihongo||霊夢|Reimu|lit. "spirit/soul dream"}} is a relevant Japanese word that refers to a "divine revelation made through dreams".<br />
<br />
In the [[PC-98]] game era, her name was written with a slight difference. {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:靈|靈]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} was changed to {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:霊|霊]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} from ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' onwards. "{{lang|ja|靈}}" is an [[Wikipedia:Hyōgaiji|uncommon]] form of "{{lang|ja|霊}}" with identical meanings. In the Japanese community, "{{lang|ja|博麗靈夢}}" is used to refer to Reimu in the PC-98 era specifically. Incidentally, Chinese (Taiwanese) fans who use the [[wikipedia:Traditional Chinese characters|Traditional Chinese characters]] also adopt this style to refer to Reimu in general (old Japanese kanji form and traditional [[wikipedia:Chinese characters|hanzi]] are basically identical).<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Reimu is of moderate height. In PC-98 canon, she is depicted as having purple hair and eyes, and she wears a large red ribbon at the back of her head, and red tubes on her sidelocks. From [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]] to [[Mystic Square]] she wears an outfit like a traditional shrine maiden uniform, with a red hakama over a white kimono.<br />
<br />
However, her best known design is that of the Windows era. She has brown-black hair which varies in length and style between games (tending towards long and loose in later works), and her eyes vary from brown to red to even blue depending on the game, but she still wears a red ribbon and matching tubes on her sidelocks. She's still seen in her "shrine maiden uniform", but it now bears little in common with the standard uniform beyond the red-and-white colour scheme (which ZUN has acknowledged<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 3]]</ref>). This uniform consists of a red skirt (rather than the standard [[wikipedia:Hakama|hakama]]), a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon (a red ribbon in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' and ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', a blue one in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]], [[Subterranean Animism]], [[Hopeless Masquerade]], [[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' and ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''), and a pair of white detached sleeves which exposes her [[wikipedia:sarashi|sarashi]]. Due to the color scheme, she's occasionally called the "red-white shrine maiden"<ref>''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' - Extra stage</ref>. Her shaman clothing and her [[purification rod]] came from [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], but it's unknown who designs them. In chapter 7 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', she used chopsticks with her left hand, and it was stated that she was left-handed (this statement was deleted in the collected edition), but she held a pen with her right hand in ''Subterranean Animism''. It has been speculated by fans that, assuming this wasn't an art error, she may be ambidextrous or just used to writing with her right hand.<br />
<br />
On the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom's portraits, as well her larger portrait on the character selection screen, she appears with white gloves. These were removed in the final release of that game, but the gloves on the character selection screen were kept. She has no longer been depicted with these gloves ever since.<ref>[[:File:PCB Trial Portraits.png|Portraits used in the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom]]</ref><br />

A lone shrine sits Far East: the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. The powerful seal placed there has worn away, and many strange creatures are starting to come out. Now Reimu, seeking revenge (or possibly just to sate her curiosity), and armed with the shrine's treasure, the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, goes to the gate to face the [[Youkai|non-human]] creatures inside.

Her journey leads her to [[Rika]], the culprit, as well as [[Mima]], who has broken the seal placed on her in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'', and desires the power of the Yin-Yang Orbs for herself. Reimu is victorious in battle and learns the truth behind the Yin-Yang Orbs.<br />

This is the first time Reimu appeared as a [[boss]]. Assuming she's the player character, she defeats all six opponents and makes it inside to confront [[Chiyuri Kitashirakawa]] and [[Yumemi Okazaki]], who have come from the real world in search of proof of magic.

[[File:085BAiJRspecial IN.jpg|thumb|200px|Reimu in the Eternal Night Incident]]<br />
Yukari isn't able to sleep and discovers the full moon is nowhere to be found; it has been replaced with a fake moon, and the night appears to have stopped. She convinces Reimu into investigating the cause with her. After dealing with a few youkai, and [[Marisa Kirisame]] in particular, who demands to know why they've created this eternal night, they reach [[Eientei]], a house hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]. Once there, they either confront [[Eirin Yagokoro]] or [[Kaguya Houraisan]]. Eirin explains that she actually sealed the Earth away from the [[Moon]] in order to prevent the Lunarians from taking Kaguya back. Kaguya, however, has tired of hiding, and so challenges Reimu and Yukari to complete her five impossible requests. Once they're defeated, they undo the seal (and thus "return" the real moon to Gensokyo). Afterwards, they all decide to have a moon viewing. Later on, Kaguya sends them into another part of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost as a "test of guts" - but her true intentions are revealed to be trying to annoy [[Fujiwara no Mokou]], another immortal human, and her eternal rival.<br />

Reimu, who's usually easy-going, is disturbed by the amount of flowers blooming and, not to be the one who shrugs off her duties, goes on to search for answers. She fights through many opponents, including news reporter [[Aya Shameimaru]], in search of the truth. Eventually she reaches [[Muenzuka]], where the [[shinigami]] [[Komachi Onozuka]], who appears to have been slacking off on her job to manage said spirits. [[Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu]] appears after Reimu beats Komachi up, and explains what's happening - an awful lot of spirits of the dead suddenly arrived from the [[Human World]], and they're having trouble accomodating all of them. After a lecture, they do battle, and Reimu emerges victorious. The three of them have a flower viewing later on, where it's explained that as the spirits of the dead cross the [[Sanzu River]], the flowers' blooming will settle down.<br />
<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Mountain of Faith Reimu's Scenario}}<br />
Reimu's shrine has become a hotspot for [[youkai]], so she doesn't get many [[human]] visitors to do patronage. She receives a foreboding threat from a [[Sanae Kochiya|mysterious human visitor]], who demands that the [[Hakurei shrine]] be shut down and submit to another god. Reimu, always the optimist, decided to go to [[Youkai Mountain]] to face the goddess who's making these threats. She fights her way up to the [[Moriya Shrine]] and defeats its shrine maiden, [[Sanae Kochiya]], as well as its resident god, [[Kanako Yasaka]], thus saving her own shrine. Afterwards, Reimu summons everyone to the shrine to watch the autumn leaves, where she vouches for Sanae and Kanako and tells [[Nitori]] and [[Aya]] that they should invite them over for drinks sometime and generally get along. Sanae also tells Reimu that youkai are a good source of faith. A while later, Marisa brings Reimu the rumor that a second god is actually living at the Moriya Shrine, and she goes to check it out. She then meets [[Suwako Moriya]] and defeats her.<br />

A geyser appears behind [[Hakurei Shrine]], and at first Reimu is happy, since its heat will alleviate the cold of winter. However, [[Evil spirit|evil spirit]]s begin emerging from the earth and loitering about [[Gensokyo]]. Reimu is sent to investigate with either [[Yukari Yakumo]], [[Suika Ibuki]], or [[Aya Shameimaru]], depending on what shot type the player chooses. She communicates them throughout her trip via her Yin-Yang Orbs. She heads straight to the [[Underworld]], and fights her way deeper and deeper until reaching the [[Palace of the Earth Spirits]]. There she meets [[Satori Komeiji]], whose two pets apparently have something to do with it. Reimu defeats [[Rin Kaenbyou]], then reaches [[Utsuho Reiuji]], who, with her newfound powers, is maintaining the hellfire that heats the Underground, and is responsible for the geysers that let the evil spirits leak out. She defeats her as well, then returns to the surface. Rin starts frequenting the shrine, though mostly for food, and eventually they make the geyser behind the shrine into a hot spring. Utsuho later explains how she came to possess such power, and it seems to point straight towards Kanako and Suwako, so Reimu sets off for the Youkai Mountain again. When she gets to the shrine, however, she meets [[Koishi Komeiji]], who was apparently also looking for who gave Utsuho those powers. Suwako comes out to meet them after they fight and explains it's all part of their "industrial revolution project".<br />

However, [[Minamitsu Murasa]] tells her they're headed to [[Makai]] to revive a "saint" of some sort. She follows them there and meets [[Byakuren Hijiri]], a Buddhist monk that loves youkai and humans equally. That certainly won't do, so Reimu beats her up. She and Byakuren later fly around the skies on the ship, but afterwards the ship is landed and renovated into the [[Myouren Temple]]. A little later, she follows up on the strange light that was following her during the journey, and it turns out to be [[Nue Houjuu]], a straggler from Byakuren's group.

Afterwards, a magical storm similar to the one caused by the Miracle Mallet rages and Reimu finds that the cause is the tsukumogami [[Raiko Horikawa]], who had successfully changed her source of magic to that of the outside world.

However, it's not her, so Reimu ends up making her way towards [[Heaven]], where the celestials [[Iku Nagae]] and [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] reside.

Shortly after the events of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] attends a flower viewing at the [[Hakurei Shrine]], where she meets Reimu, who's in a foul mood since no one wants to help her clean up after event. Aya plies her with sake and questions her about the incident, commenting in the article that "Reimu just seems to be a laid-back drunkard".<br />

In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Reimu appeared on part 6 of the symposium. It was stated that Reimu was hiding and hearing over the whole symposium, that was attended by [[Hieda no Akyuu]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. When she was revealed by Akyuu, Marisa noticed that she had an angry look on her face (although she seems to not be angry with Akyuu). That's because she's not happy with the discussion the group was having, believing that it's all nonsense. She slammed a pile of newspapers in front of them to prove how bad the [[youkai]] are and tells them to stop the symposium immediately. She was requested by the [[human]]s of the [[Human Village]] to stop this as they were aware – and felt uncomfortable – of "non-humans" discussing on changing the way of Gensokyo's life. The group were unhappy with her personality and her way of "fight-first, ask-later" attitude towards youkai, and can't even spend another minute finishing their sake.<br />
<br />
There was also an article included, written by [[Aya Shameimaru]], that involved Reimu's broken-down [[Hakurei Shrine]] during the events of ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''. It stated that it collapsed due to a localised earthquake and that the roof caved into the shrine. Aya found it suspicious that a [[celestial]], that been [[Tenshi Hinanawi]], came to help and re-build it.<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
Reimu finds her shrine frequented by a mysterious hermit going by the name of [[Kasen Ibaraki]]. ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' follows the various escapades and adventures of Reimu and her friends in concurrence to the timeline of the games. Reimu in ''WaHH'' is generally short-sighted and obsessed with making a profit.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
When book-lender [[Kosuzu Motoori]] of the [[Human Village]] begins dabbling with demon books, Reimu finds herself frequently having to sort out the incidents caused by the youkai that are released from them. In contrast to ''Wild and Horned Hermit'', which is fairly lighthearted, ''Forbidden Scrollery'' depicts Reimu as a shrine maiden who struggles to maintain the image of a protector for the Human Village while maintaining the masquerade set in place by the youkai.<br />

;''Shuusou Gyoku''<br />
{{Main|Shuusou Gyoku/Story/Extra Scenario|l1=Shuusou Gyoku: Extra Scenario}}<br />
[[File:Sh01ReimuSprite.png|frame|left|Reimu sprite in ''SSG'']]<br />
Reimu has made a guest appearance as the second Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', a [[danmaku]] game series by the junior doujin circle "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]", where [[ZUN]] also contributed music and art to the game. It seems like ZUN put her in the game along with [[Marisa Kirisame]]. Her title was "Eternal Shrine Maiden" and her theme was "Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Ancients". To add to this, [[Yuuka Kazami]] made a guest appearances in the following work, ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have no view towards the [[Seihou World]]; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery. After VIVIT defeated Marisa at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in [[Gensokyo]], Marisa was then thudded by Reimu for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Reimu attacked her with two [[purification rod]]s before she could explain what she was doing. After Reimu lost, VIVIT told her that she was looking for the [[Holy Grail]], causing Reimu to become confused and start asking questions.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Although Reimu often shows up as the main character, she doesn't participate in mundane activities to the extent [[Marisa Kirisame]] does, limiting her familiarity with most of [[Gensokyo]]'s population. Nevertheless, she has interacted with almost every other character that has ever made a physical appearance, with a few exceptions such as the [[Giant Catfish]], [[Renko Usami]], and [[Maribel Hearn]].<br />
<br />
===Marisa Kirisame===<br />
[[File:SSiBArtWallpaper1.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa, in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
Reimu’s closest friend is Marisa Kirisame, and the two of them spend most of their time together. They are seen together most often in the print works, game and extra stage prologues where they hang out at the shrine together, chatting about the latest rumors and news in Gensokyo. They’ve known each other since childhood and have been close ever since. <br />
<br />
Reimu and Marisa often quarrel and spar with each other, for reasons ranging from resolving incidents to hotpot ingredients. Regardless, they usually resolve their differences and continue being as close as ever.<br />
<br />
They’ve also worked together on numerous occasions, such as when they chased down an enenra, or worked to exterminate a vengeful spirit. Though generally, they solve incidents at their own pace.<br />
<br />
===Yukari Yakumo===<br />
Despite her antagonistic personality, [[Yukari Yakumo]] mentors Reimu by pushing her to increase her spiritual powers, such as learning how to invoke the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. In that case, Reimu followed her instructions and orders to train hard despite Yukari not informing Reimu why she needed to do so, displaying how much Reimu either trusts Yukari or has decided it's pointless to argue with her (or both). Yukari occasionally seeks Reimu's assistance in resolving incidents in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. In this regard, she is an employer of sorts, as she remarks about compensating Reimu accordingly during the [[Imperishable Night]] incident. Yukari is also secretly a benefactor as well, donating to the shrine behind Reimu's back. Reimu is unaware of that, however.<br />
<br />
===Rinnosuke Morichika===<br />
Reimu is familiar with [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], a shopkeeper who owns [[Kourindou]], who she sometimes visits to hang out or for wares (and sometimes shoplifts). She apparently has a large unpaid tab for requested items and services, but denies it since Rinnosuke "never accepts money" (which he denies being the case). Rinnosuke was also the one that originally prepared her [[purification rod]] for her use.<br />
<br />
===Sanae Kochiya===<br />
Despite being the priestess of a rival shrine, [[Sanae Kochiya]] is on friendly terms with Reimu and appears frequently in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' alongside Reimu and Marisa. She came on a bit strongly when she and Reimu first met, but she really thought she was helping the Hakurei Shrine out by attempting to get it to switch gods to [[Kanako Yasaka]]. After ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Sanae offered to help Reimu as a fellow shrine maiden to gather faith for the shrine, and she appears to have been friends with Reimu since then. Nonetheless, the two have no qualms about antagonizing the other at times, though these quarrels are usually resolved by the next time they meet.<br />
<br />
===Kasen Ibaraki===<br />
[[Kasen Ibaraki]] is a regular at the shrine and acts as a mentor (and sometimes guardian) of Reimu, whom she fears is too concerned with worldly desires. Kasen actually initially became Reimu's mentor as part of her own plan, but she continues to view herself as a mentor after her goals were achieved. Reimu mostly thinks of Kasen as a nagging, preachy busybody. However, Reimu often concedes, either because Kasen is usually right or she doesn't want to deal with her. Kasen is openly critical of Reimu, believing her to be too greedy and slack in her duties. In spite of this, Reimu views Kasen as a genuine friend. When fighting Kasen's arm, Reimu was unable to bring herself to fight Kasen whole-heartedly until she realized that the arm battling her was actually a separate entity from Kasen. By the present day, Reimu knows that Kasen is secretly an oni, but partially due to this friendship and partially due to owing Kasen for all the money that one of Kasen's schemes got her, Reimu can't tell anyone else about it.<br />
<br />
===Genjii===<br />
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Reimu used a [[turtle]] as a means for flight until the end of ''[[Mystic Square]]''; that turtle was [[Genjii]]. Reimu calls him "gramps".<br />
<br />
===Three Fairies of Light===<br />
Reimu is often the target of pranks by the [[Three Fairies of Light]], and Reimu tends to exterminate them on sight whenever she catches them (unless Marisa's escorting them). As of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', the three fairies moved into a tree near the [[Hakurei Shrine]] and become Reimu's neighbors, increasing the amount of pranks even more. Reimu aims to evict the fairies, but cannot find their treehouse, which is actually located on the [[Hakurei Border]]. Eventually, in an attempt to befriend Reimu so she'll no longer threaten them, the three fairies challenge her to a battle, reasoning that Reimu tends to befriend many youkai after fighting them. After an intense battle, Reimu finally defeats the fairies (instantly), and points out that their line of reasoning is utterly ridiculous. Despite this, Marisa finds that Reimu befriended the fairies after all, and as of the end of Oriental Sacred Place, the fairies now happily openly spend time at the shrine while helping Reimu out with various chores.<br />
<br />
===Byakuren Hijiri===<br />
Reimu views [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the [[Myouren Temple]] as a rival of sorts to herself and the Hakurei Shrine. In ''[[Ten Desires]]'', [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] points out that Reimu is friendly towards Byakuren. Although Reimu says they're religious rivals, she doesn't seem to deny it. In one of her ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' endings, Reimu is depressed at how quickly Byakuren's temple is picking up followers compared to her own shrine. By the time of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', Reimu is angry at the temple for stealing away her shrine's followers (ignoring that her shrine never had (m)any followers in the first place), but Byakuren seems unaware of this.<br />
<br />
===Kosuzu Motoori===<br />
[[Kosuzu Motoori]], the daughter of the book-lender in the Human Village, has a great deal of respect for Reimu. She is convinced that no harm will come to her from dealing with the youma books, because she is sure that Reimu will come save her if anything happens.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;The Hakurei God<br />
Reimu knows next to nothing about [[The Hakurei God|the god dwelling in her shrine]], making her unable to provide it with faith despite her efforts. Byakuren stated in one of the endings for ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' that the god is mad due to this.<br />
<br />
;Ruukoto<br />
In the PC-98 canon, she obtains a [[robot]]ic maid named [[Ruukoto]] as a servant at the end of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' though no reference has been made to it since.<br />
<br />
;Mima<br />
In the PC-98 canon, [[Mima]] is an [[Onryou#Akuryou|Akuryou]] who haunts the surroundings of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], after many confrontations and being resealed by Reimu, she decides to spend her days making fun of the shrine maiden.<br />
<br />
;Suika Ibuki<br />
[[Suika Ibuki]], who often freeloads her shrine after the events of ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' is also is her ally during ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Reimu saw Suika's presence as a nuisance at first, but never really bothered with driving her away.<br />
<br />
;Aya Shameimaru<br />
[[Aya Shameimaru]], the [[tengu]] reporter was also her ally during the events of ''Subterranean Animism''.<br />
<br />
;[[Misumaru Tamatsukuri]]<br />
Although Reimu never met her before the Ability Card Incident, she was responsible for creating the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s.<br />
<br />
;Unnamed kitsune & Unnamed kuda-gitsune<br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' Chapter 8, The [[Unnamed kitsune]] offered to help Reimu gain worshipers after being caught disguised as Marisa during a party at Hakurei Shrine. She was, however, deceiving Reimu by letting her use the powers of her kuda-gitsune. Using her ability, they gathered worshipers. [[Kasen Ibaraki]] discovered that these fox youkai had been consuming Reimu's willpower and wealth as payment for their help. However, they managed to walk away from the Hakurei Shrine with all her wealth.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Reimu is the most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games, with [[Marisa Kirisame]] coming second. Reimu appears in every Touhou game, two times more than Marisa, who didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and the minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]''.<br />
*Reimu appears on the cover of all five [[PC-98]] games.<br />
*Reimu seems to be scared during her boss battle with the [[Five Magic Stones]].<br />
*Most of her theme from ''Lotus Land Story'' sounds similar to [[Elis]] and [[Kikuri]]'s theme from ''Highly Responsive to Prayers'', "Magic Mirror".<br />
*It was originally stated that she lives alone at the shrine, but other rarely seen characters ([[Mima]] and [[SinGyoku]]) are known to stay there or near there as well. Even then, Reimu claims that most youkai visitors are nuisances, and she'd prefer to be left alone. [[Marisa Kirisame]] seems to be one of the few who she wouldn't drive away.<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Reimu is the only one whose partner doesn't mention the danger of the full moon.<br />
*Reimu's ultimate technique {{nihongo|'''Fantasy Nature'''|夢想天生|musou tensei|"innate fantasy gained at birth"}} is homophonous with the ultimate technique of the Hokuto Shinken school in ''[[wikipedia:Fist of the North Star|Fist of the North Star]]'', {{nihongo|'''Musou Tensei'''|無想転生|musou tensei|"nil-thought rebirth"}}, and has much the same effect.<br />
**In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', if you activate Fantasy Nature successfully in a 3rd round, a remix of "Eastern Mystical Love Consultation" will play which resembles ''Ai wo Torimodose'', the opening theme of the ''Fist of the North Star'' anime (an instrumental version of which usually plays whenever Kenshiro is about to win a fight).<br />
*In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', one of her alternative palettes looks similar to VIVIT. Also, one of her palettes seems to be another maid homage, [[Ruukoto]], or possibly [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s colours. The palette also seems to resemble Mima from ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]''. Her white/light gray palette seems to resemble [[wikipedia:Toki (Fist of the North Star)#Toki|Toki]] from Hokuto no Ken and possibly somewhat similar to her white outfit from the fangame ''[[Concealed the Conclusion]]''. <!--And finally, her white/light blue palette looks like a tribute to [http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Nanoha_Takamachi Nanoha], as they both tend to "befriend" their opponents with superior firepower.--><br />
*When playing Yukari's story mode in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', Reimu breaks down in tears in the ending after Yukari defeats [[Tenshi Hinanawi|Tenshi]] and reduces the Hakurei Shrine to rubble for the second time, with [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]] and [[Youmu Konpaku|Youmu]] looking on helplessly (although Suika offers to help rebuild it). This marks the first and only time where she's seen crying in a storyline scenario.<br />
*The shrine maiden at the end of ''[[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]'' is probably Reimu. She has Reimu's title, "Shrine Maiden of Paradise" (and her personality), and according to [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Music Columns|''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Music Column]], the shrine maiden in the song that accompanies the ending section is Reimu (so basically, this shrine maiden has Reimu's song and title). However, only the shrine maiden at the end is referred to as the shrine maiden of paradise. Thus it's possible that the shrine maiden seen in the first half of the story is a different person altogether.<br />
*A "13th Shrine Maiden" signs off the Gensokyo Record in [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Prologue|''Perfect Cherry Blossom'''s prologue]]. [[ZUN]] has stated in [[ZUN's E-mails|an e-mail]] that the Gensokyo Record is unreliable (for one thing, the writing style of each section shows it was written by a different person each time), thus "there's a high possibility that Reimu isn't the 13th Hakurei shrine maiden." (technically, this also means there's no proof that the person who wrote that section of the record is a shrine maiden at all). <br />
*It' is shown in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' that the shrine sometimes gets various donations (including wine) from unknown sources (implied to be from the [[Outside World|outside world]], as the [[Hakurei Shrine]] lies on the border) and Yukari is shown in ''Oriental Sacred Place'' to sneak yen donations into the offering box when Reimu isn't looking.<br />
*In [[Wild and Horned Hermit]] chapter 46, Reimu experiences a near-death experience because of food poisoning.<br />
**It is also revealed, in the same chapter, that she has trouble of taking care of herself.<br />
*Reimu appears on most of the series menu/title screen<br />

博麗神社の巫女さん。才能はあるが修行不足。もともと修行は好きでない。強力な霊力でいままで幾多の魔法使い、悪霊、妖怪、そして神と闘ってきたらしい(理由、なんとなく)<br/><br />
いつも何か変な事に巻き込まれてしまうが、その半分は陰で魔理沙が引き起こしているらしい。霊夢は気づかないふりをしている。そんな魔理沙をしょうがない奴と考えている。<br/><br />
| translation = '''Eternal Shrine Maiden<br>Reimu Hakurei'''<br><br />
The [[shrine maiden]] of [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Talented, but lacks training. Basically, she doesn't like to train. They say she has fought plenty of [[magician]]s, evil spirits, [[youkai]] and even gods with her strong spiritual power (for no particular reason).<br><br />
She's always involved in some strange affairs, though she seems to be dragged into most of them due to [[Marisa Kirisame|Marisa]]. Reimu pretends not to notice this. She sees Marisa as essentially a hopeless case.<br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br/><br />
[[Shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and protagonist of the [[Touhou]] series. She appears quite carefree on the outside, and indeed deep down, she really is carefree. She lives in her shrine and is rarely visited by anyone, which causes her to be out of touch with current social norms. Even though she only extinguished certain sparks of conflict because they seemed to befall her without warning, her actions have generally resulted in preventing the residents of [[Gensokyo]] from visiting [[human]] settlements, and keeping outsiders away from wandering into Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />

<br />
Chronologically, this title isn't too far from the previous title, thus her age stays the same as before.<br />
<br />
There is nothing special about her being a [[shrine maiden]]. Or rather, she's a shrine maiden only because the [[Touhou]] series has become the "Shrine Maiden [[Shooting game|Shooting Game]]" series. It feels like the cart has been placed before the horse to me.<br/><br />
<br />
This time, her outfit isn't overly intricate like typical [[shrine maiden]] clothing, but has become quite simple and only remotely resembles that of a shrine maiden. Is she really a shrine maiden?<br />
<br />
She's more like "You, red-white!" in my opinion.<br/><br />

[[Hakurei Shrine]]'s [[shrine maiden]], and the protagonist. Her mind might appear normal, but in fact it's like spring in full bloom.<br/><br />
The shrine is always haunted by [[youkai]], and they're very friendly to Reimu as well.<br/><br />
She's hardly performing the role of a shrine maiden at this point.<br/><br />
She hates training, and because of this, lacks ability. So her skill is quite so-so.<br/><br />
She hates to do her very best at anything that falls upon her.<br/><br />
That's because she doesn't believe that effort will be rewarded.<br/><br />
Because of that, the [[Hakurei Shrine]]'s paper fortune doesn't have {{nihongo|"Least luck"|末吉}}<br/><br />
''[Typically, a shrine's paper fortune has {{nihongo|Best luck|大吉}}, {{nihongo|Medium luck|中吉}}, {{nihongo|Little luck|小吉}}, {{nihongo|Least luck|末吉}}, {{nihongo|Misfortune|凶}} and {{nihongo|Worst misfortune|大凶}}. "{{lang|ja|末吉}}" is usually interpreted as "You'll get exactly as your effort"]''<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />
<br />
:She has a smaller [[hit box]], and her focused movement allows player to dodge very precisely.<br />
:Spirit Sign's "Hakurei Amulet" is quite easy to use. It allows you to focus on dodging bullets.<br />
:On the other hand, Dream Sign's "Extermination" wields destructive power of the highest class.<br />
:Bosses are killed quickly, but the invincibility duration of her bombs is the shortest of all characters. It's also lacking in both effective radius and damage.<br />

博麗 霊夢(はくれいれいむ)<br /><br />
<br /><br />
主に空を飛ぶ程度の能力を持つ。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
基本的に巫女さん。幻想郷の境にある博麗神社の巫女さん。博麗神社自体は、幻想郷と人間界の両方に位置する。<br /><br />
・・<br /> その境が博麗神社境内である。どちらからみても、人里離れた山奥に存在し、大きさもさほど無いし、御利益もゆかりも何も無い小さな神社なので、どのみち参拝客は殆ど来ない。<br /><br />
この神社の中では、殆どの結界は無効化される。それだけ、幻想郷と人間界の境、博麗大結界の力は大きいのである。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
幻想郷で唯一、博麗の者だけが規律を持つ。その為、霊夢は一応制服のような物を着用している(他にも規律はあるはずなのだが・・・)紅白の服を着て、幻想郷の端っこから、幻想郷の空を見つめつつ、お茶でも飲むのが日課である。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
元々、霊夢は不思議な力を色々使えるが、それを活用したり自慢したりはしない。すべては在るがままに、である。<br />
| translation = '''Wonderful Shrine Maiden of Paradise'''<br/><br />
'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
She possess the ability to mainly fly in the air.<br />
<br />
Basically, she's a [[shrine maiden]]. The shrine maiden of [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located on the boundary of [[Gensokyo]].<br/><br />
The Hakurei Shrine exists in both Gensokyo and the world of [[human]]s at the same time.<br/><br />
The boundary is the home territory of the Hakurei Shrine. From both sides, it's located at a very remote place from human villages, and is also kind of small, and has no known history or benefits. So it's no wonder that it rarely gets any visitors.<br/><br />
Inside the shrine, almost all foreign boundaries has been nullified. That alone should say that the Hakurei Boundary, the boundary between Gensokyo and the world of humans, is amazingly powerful.<br />
<br />
Only those of the Hakurei have rules to follow in [[Gensokyo]]. Therefore, Reimu always wears clothes that's apparently some kind of uniform (she's supposed to have ''many'' other rules too, though...). Her daily routine consists of wearing red-white, staring at Gensokyo's sky from the edge of Gensokyo, and drinking tea.<br />
<br />
By nature, Reimu can use various mysterious powers, but she doesn't use them or boast about them. Everything is, as is, after all.<br />

非常に単純な思考の持ち主で、怒る時は怒り、笑う時は笑う。裏表のない性格は、人間妖怪問わず惹き付ける。その為、神社はいつも色んな者が集まるのである。<br/><br />
<br/><br />
体術にしても妖術にしても、修行は不足気味(というか殆どしない)だが、余りある天性のセンスでカバーしていて、もの凄く強い。それはもう、人とは思えない位に。ワープしていたり、ホーミングしていたりするが、本人はまっすぐ動いているつもり。ずるい巫女さん。<br/><br />

<br />
Species: [[Human]]<br/><br />
Location: [[Hakurei Shrine]]<br/><br />
Ability: Flying in the air<br />
<br />
A typical [[shrine maiden]] from Hakurei Shrine. She always lives on ideas off the top of her head, and doesn't consider something seriously. The only thing she does that actually resembles a shrine maiden's duties is enjoying tea and life on the veranda.<br />
<br />
She's quite simple-minded, thus when she's angry she's angry, and when she smiles she smiles. Her open personality makes her well-liked by both [[human]]s and [[youkai]]. Due to that, many people stay close to the shrine.<br />
<br />
She lacks training in both melee and spells (or rather, she rarely does them), but she covers that up with the numerous talents she's born with. So she's quite tough, enough to make you wonder if she's really a human. While she warps or uses guided shots, it's all straight from her perspective. What a mean shrine maiden.<br />

感情的で騒々しく、どんな場所でも存在感があるのだが、すぐに馴染む。<br/><br />

地球の重力も、如何なる重圧も、力による脅しも、彼女には全く意味が無い。<br/><br />
身も心も、幻想の宙をふわふわと漂う不思議な巫女である。<br/><br />

<br />
She's the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located at the edge of [[Gensokyo]] and (possibly) has ancient and honourable origins.<br/><br />
She's emotional and noisy, and has a presence wherever she is, but she merges into her surroundings quite easily.<br/><br />
Her ability is being able to fly, that is, being weightless.<br/><br />
The gravity of Earth, any level of stress, and threats of power all mean nothing to her.<br/><br />
Both her mind and body float in the sky of fantasy, a mysterious [[Shrine Maiden|shrine maiden]].<br/><br />
However powerful the opponent is, that means nothing in her presence.<br/><br />
As she evens out whatever status one has, she tends to attract anyone regardless of species, [[human]] or [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
Her weapons are amulets and a [[Yin-Yang orb]]. She is also preferred by mosquitoes.<br />
<br />
:''Notes''<br />
:She teams with [[Yukari Yakumo|Yukari]] this time.<br />
:Focused speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.<br />
:She lacks a bit in damage, but is quite easy to use and doesn't need much memorization.<br />
:She's quite strong, especially against smaller enemies.<br />
:In a word, dastardly.<br />

The morning that she was expecting to see after a full night's sleep didn't greet her. She thought that something very strange was going on, so she left the shrine to investigate. It's not unusual for her to go out at night, but going out at midnight just after having taken a full night's rest was most unusual. Anyway, nights always make her sleepy, so she'll be going back to bed once the issue is resolved. She followed a trail of power into a bamboo forest, and what she found were very familiar faces...<br />

She treats everyone basically the same way. However, since her job is hunting [[youkai]], she takes a fairly strict stance against youkai, but she's actually equally uninterested in humans and youkai.<br/><br />

This time, there's a conspiracy surrounding her gods. She may be their spokesperson, but her circumstances as a youkai hunter are different, so she feels a bit lost.<br/><br />

Her weapons are amulets and yin-yang balls. Her piety seems light.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Her fighting style generally relies on equipment that lends a sense of stability.<br />

It was there, within the mountain distance away from the human village, in the far off country in the East—Gensokyo. It has been a while since it was separated from the outside world by the Barrier, which the youkai made.<br/><br />
Things that were forgotten from this world, things that were no longer needed, have been gathered around at the place. Due to such nature, Gensokyo should have become a paradise for the youkai.<br/><br />
Reimu Hakurei is too, one of the people residing in Gensokyo, who makes her living by exterminating youkai.<br/><br />

これから巫女とそのライバルによる決闘が 行われるというのだ。<br/><br />
この闘いに勝って人気を不動の物とせよ!<br />
<br />
特技 万有霊力の法則<br />
<br />
霊力ゲージが他のキャラより長くなっており、<br/><br />
霊力最大値がアップします。<br/><br />
射撃攻撃や必殺技をより多く使用でき、<br/><br />
攻撃をガードして多少霊力を減らされても余裕が出ます。<br />
<br />
ラストワード 夢想天生<br />
<br />
構えを取って相手の打撃を受け止めて隙を作り、<br/><br />
大量のお札で包囲して圧殺する霊夢の最終奥義です。<br/><br />
0距離であれば問答無用にガード不能で発動するため、<br/><br />

| translation ='''The Advocate of the Myriad Gods, Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
The normally calm humans and the always-energetic youkai<br/><br />
are both in a state of excitement.<br/><br />
Their blood is boiling for one reason.<br/><br />
From here on, the shrine maiden and her rivals will be battling it out.<br/><br />
Emerge victorious in this battle, and acquire unwavering popularity!<br />
<br />
'''Special skill: Law of Universal Spirit Power'''<br />
<br />
Reimu's spirit power gauge is longer than the other characters',<br/><br />
so her maximum spirit power is increased.<br/><br />
She can use more ranged attacks and special attacks,<br/><br />
and even if she loses some spirit power while guarding attacks, she'll still have more in supply.<br/><br />
<br />
'''Last Word: Fantasy Nature'''<br />
<br />
Reimu adopts a stance, and by taking an enemy melee attack, she creates an opening,<br/><br />
and then surrounds the enemy with massive amounts of ofuda and annihilates them in her most powerful attack.<br/><br />
If it's at point-blank range, guarding against it is impossible,<br/><br />
so it's also easy to wear down and flatten opponents fearful of the counter.<br />

It chases enemies on its own to purify them, but since its homing speed is somewhat bad,<br/><br />
she has more success carrying it up to the enemies and then throwing it.<br />

Somehow, it doesn't seem to be very satisfactory as a purification rod.<br />

The all-too familiar, wonderful Shrine Maiden of Gensokyo.<br/><br />
A well balanced standard character who fights with both projectiles and physical attacks.<br/><br />
Recommended to beginners who want to learn of the duels of this world.<br/><br />
<br />
Her Occult Attack is “The Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier”.<br/><br />
It’s a projectile-type attack that opens a gap in mid-air, where from wreckage flies towards the opponent.<br />
Since Reimu herself moves independently from the gap, she can also attack simultaneously.<br />

| translation = Our infamous protagonist. She appears throughout most of the series. In the 6th title of the series, EoSD, I changed Reimu's design a lot and she became quite different compared to Reimu in previous titles. You can say she's Reimu reintroduced.<br/><br />
She's supposed to be a powerhouse, yet she's unreliable here and there. She's supposed to be the youkai exterminator, yet she's more liked by youkai than humans in comparison. With those traits, she shows her charm through such frivolity. If Reimu were the conventional type of protagonist who's dead serious about justice while having tons of companions, we'd be talking about a completely different story that is nothing like Touhou.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Reimu Hakurei'''|博麗 霊夢|Hakurei Reimu}} is the main protagonist of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' series along with the deuteragonist, [[Marisa Kirisame]]. As the [[shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], she manages the [[Hakurei Border]] of [[Gensokyo]] and exterminates troublesome [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Reimu Hakurei is a person that can be described by her desires, such as the desire to be wanted, to have good food, and to find happiness. Her biggest internal conflict comes from balancing her duties as the Hakurei shrine maiden and her own desires, though she does not seem to prefer acknowledging many of her internal conflicts.<br />
<br />
Her duty as the Hakurei shrine maiden gives Reimu a sense of purpose and identity, however, it conflicts with her desires in that it distances her from others and has her dealing with incidents and other related problems on a frequent basis. Despite her duty making it seem as though she antagonizes youkai, in truth, she wishes for peace between humans and youkai. <br />
<br />
Reimu is generally a joyful and airheaded person. She’s also incredibly prideful and quite arrogant due to it. She’s often seen in a good mood until her routines are broken by some outside influence, be it a youkai or the like. She’s the type to be quite grumpy and quick to anger, but she’s also quick to forget.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Ability to float<br />
While many inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] are capable of flying, Reimu's ability extends beyond that; she is someone who excels at floating through ''life'', displaying a level of oneness with her surroundings that has been compared to a [[hermit]]. While she "goes with the flow" Reimu displays superhuman instincts and incredible luck, naturally ending up on the path of least resistance through most situations; conversely, when distracted or acting with impure motives she quickly loses her edge.<ref>''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'': Chapter 18</ref> On one occasion observers saw Reimu dodging an attack "like she was made of air" while Reimu herself saw the attack swerving to avoid her;<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 03|Chapter 3]]</ref> on another Reimu unknowingly walked across a river without getting wet, by stepping on fish that swam beneath her feet.<ref>''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'': Chapter 2</ref> This also makes Reimu's techniques extremely hard for [[Marisa Kirisame]] to learn from, since even Reimu herself has trouble explaining what she's doing. The ultimate expression of this ability is ''Fantasy Nature'', which allows Reimu to float away from reality and become impossible to attack; this was considered too powerful for use as a [[spell card]] until Marisa gave it a name and time limit.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards|Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
;Aura manipulation<br />
It's stated in the {{nihongo|omake.txt|おまけ.txt}} of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' that Reimu can control the natural spirits of living things, an ability which isn't listed in any source afterwards. No clear instance of this ability has ever been displayed.<br />
<br />
;Powers as the [[Hakurei]] [[Shrine Maiden]]<br />
[[File:SSIBCH10ReimuSummoning.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu invoking the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
As the [[Hakurei Shrine|Hakurei]] shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, and is trained in [[youkai]] extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of channeling [[Gensokyo]]'s [[god]]s, but she isn't well-trained enough to do so reliably.<br />
<br />
;Barrier techniques<br />
Reimu displays great aptitude with magical barriers (beyond that normally associated with [[shrine maiden]]s), presumably related to her work in maintaining the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. Among her techniques are barriers that explode, push enemies (or herself), or allow her to teleport. Reimu is capable of dismantling barriers and seals too complex for [[Marisa Kirisame]]<ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Marisa's Scenario|Marisa's scenario]]</ref><ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Reimu's Scenario|Reimu's scenario]]</ref> and [[Patchouli Knowledge]]<ref>''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'': Chapter 15</ref> to understand, with what Marisa calls her "cheat technique".<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'': Chapter 7</ref><br />
<br />
;Other abilities<br />
During the events of [[Urban Legend in Limbo]], and at least until the end of [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]], Reimu aquired abilities based on the "Gap Woman" urban legend. This allowed her to open gaps similar to the ones used by [[Yukari Yakumo]], which she used as portals for herself<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'':Chapter 51</ref> or to attack.<ref>[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]/[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]] - "Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier" Skill</ref><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Reimu is the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and one of the main "incident resolvers" in Gensokyo. She and others characterize the time she spends at the shrine as largely boring and uneventful. While she is sometimes serious about her duties, she can't seem to get many worshippers at her shrine. It appears that youkai extermination is her only method of earning even a thin salary. <br />
<br />
[[Yukari Yakumo]] describes Reimu's job as not being that of a youkai exterminator, but rather a "balancer between humans and youkai", who prevents youkai from attacking humans and humans from becoming youkai.<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]:Chapter 53''</ref><br />
<br />
''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' depicts Reimu as frequently coming up with various schemes to make money, which generally fail due to her own lack of foresight.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
In most of the Touhou games, Reimu uses the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s in combat. In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' they also functioned as communicators with people above the surface. In addition, she usually carries a gohei, sometimes referred to as her [[purification rod]], originally prepared by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]].<br />
<br />
She also possesses a great amount of [[ofuda]], sacred paper charms with anti-[[youkai]] properties that she uses to fight, seal or exterminate youkai of any kind in her [[danmaku]]. Apparently, she can also use them to create barriers and even clones of herself.<ref> ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - Skill Card: [[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Spell Cards/Reimu Hakurei#Skill Card 11|Instant Dimensional Rift]]</ref> Like the Yin-Yang Orbs, she uses them in most, if not all, games she has appeared in, either as a normal shot (usually with homing properties) or as bullets for her [[spell card]]s. Aside from this, the other projectile she uses is a large collection of throwing needles hidden within her sleeves.<br />
<br />
===Machinery===<br />
In PC-98 canon, she possesses a robot called [[Ruukoto]], given to her by [[Yumemi Okazaki]] as a reward for defeating her. Ruukoto has not been seen outside of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Not much is known about Reimu's history prior to the events of the games. Her earliest mention in the Gensokyo timeline is four to five years prior to Chapter 22 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', which took place in 2006. [[ZUN]] does mention in one of his [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] documents that there was a previous Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and it's generally assumed that there's a line of them.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 25 of [[Wild and Horned Hermit]], with night's darkness fast approaching, an annoyed Reimu remarks, "Believe not they will be around for you always: parents and daylight". The quote was thought to imply that Reimu knew her parents, but they're gone and she's rather bitter about it. However, her line was modified from a haiku about the transient, changing nature of things, the original subjects being parents and money ({{lang|jp|いつまでも / あると思うな / 親と金}}). In chapter 2 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', Marisa remarks, "She was a foundling", though the context of this scene suggests that this could just be a throwaway line.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS reimu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Reimu Hakurei as a [[Shrine Maiden]] is likely inspired by other shrine maidens in video games such as Sayo-chan from ''[[Wikipedia:KiKi KaiKai|KiKi KaiKai]]''. In general, [[ZUN]] thought it was a good idea to include a [[shrine maiden]] in an STG compared to other typical futuristic STGs simply because it was unusual at the time of her creation.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Davison|first=Pete|title=Curtains for You: The History of Bullet Hell|url=https://www.usgamer.net/articles/curtains-for-you-the-history-of-bullet-hell|website=US Gamer|date=8 June 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Reimu's full name is {{nihongo||博麗 霊夢|Reimu Hakurei}}. The characters for Reimu's last name {{nihongo||博麗|Hakurei}} literally mean something along the lines of "esteemed companion". The first word {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:博|博]]|Haku}} means "wide" or "exposition" while {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:麗|麗]]|Rei}} means "lovely", "graceful", or "beautiful". Her first name {{nihongo||霊夢|Reimu|lit. "spirit/soul dream"}} is a relevant Japanese word that refers to a "divine revelation made through dreams".<br />
<br />
In the [[PC-98]] game era, her name was written with a slight difference. {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:靈|靈]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} was changed to {{lang|ja|博麗}}<big>'''{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:霊|霊]]}}'''</big>{{lang|ja|夢}} from ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' onwards. "{{lang|ja|靈}}" is an [[Wikipedia:Hyōgaiji|uncommon]] form of "{{lang|ja|霊}}" with identical meanings. In the Japanese community, "{{lang|ja|博麗靈夢}}" is used to refer to Reimu in the PC-98 era specifically. Incidentally, Chinese (Taiwanese) fans who use the [[wikipedia:Traditional Chinese characters|Traditional Chinese characters]] also adopt this style to refer to Reimu in general (old Japanese kanji form and traditional [[wikipedia:Chinese characters|hanzi]] are basically identical).<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Reimu is of moderate height. In PC-98 canon, she is depicted as having purple hair and eyes, and she wears a large red ribbon at the back of her head, and red tubes on her sidelocks. From [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]] to [[Mystic Square]] she wears an outfit like a traditional shrine maiden uniform, with a red hakama over a white kimono.<br />
<br />
However, her best known design is that of the Windows era. She has brown-black hair which varies in length and style between games (tending towards long and loose in later works), and her eyes vary from brown to red to even blue depending on the game, but she still wears a red ribbon and matching tubes on her sidelocks. She's still seen in her "shrine maiden uniform", but it now bears little in common with the standard uniform beyond the red-and-white colour scheme (which ZUN has acknowledged<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 3]]</ref>). This uniform consists of a red skirt (rather than the standard [[wikipedia:Hakama|hakama]]), a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon (a red ribbon in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' and ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', a blue one in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]], [[Subterranean Animism]], [[Hopeless Masquerade]], [[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' and ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''), and a pair of white detached sleeves which exposes her [[wikipedia:sarashi|sarashi]]. Due to the color scheme, she's occasionally called the "red-white shrine maiden"<ref>''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' - Extra stage</ref>. Her shaman clothing and her [[purification rod]] came from [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], but it's unknown who designs them. In chapter 7 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', she used chopsticks with her left hand, and it was stated that she was left-handed (this statement was deleted in the collected edition), but she held a pen with her right hand in ''Subterranean Animism''. It has been speculated by fans that, assuming this wasn't an art error, she may be ambidextrous or just used to writing with her right hand.<br />
<br />
On the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom's portraits, as well her larger portrait on the character selection screen, she appears with white gloves. These were removed in the final release of that game, but the gloves on the character selection screen were kept. She has no longer been depicted with these gloves ever since.<ref>[[:File:PCB Trial Portraits.png|Portraits used in the Trial+ version of Perfect Cherry Blossom]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Reimu's Appearances==<br />
Unless specified, Reimu has always held the role of a playable character in the majority of the games.<br />
<br />
===PC-98 Games===<br />
;''Highly Responsive to Prayers''<br />
:{{Main|Highly Responsive to Prayers#Story|l1=Highly Responsive to Prayers Story}}<br />
A lone shrine sits Far East: the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. The powerful seal placed there has worn away, and many strange creatures are starting to come out. Now Reimu, seeking revenge (or possibly just to sate her curiosity), and armed with the shrine's treasure, the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, goes to the gate to face the [[Youkai|non-human]] creatures inside. The gate will lead to either [[Makai]] or [[Hell]] depending on which route the player chooses.<br />
<br />
;''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<br />
:{{Main|Story of Eastern Wonderland/Story|l1=Story of Eastern Wonderland Story}}<br />
Reimu is training intensely in the harsh extremities of a mountain (or taking it easy), but when she returns to the shrine, she finds it infested by [[youkai]], [[ghost]]s and other non-human creatures. With her faithful turtle [[Genjii]] and her trusty Yin-Yang Orbs, she sets out to find the one who caused the trouble. Her journey leads her to [[Rika]], the culprit, as well as [[Mima]], who has broken the seal placed on her in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'', and desires the power of the Yin-Yang Orbs for herself. Reimu is victorious in battle and learns the truth behind the Yin-Yang Orbs.<br />
<br />
;''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream''<br />

She convinces Reimu into investigating the cause with her. After dealing with a few youkai, and [[Marisa Kirisame]] in particular, who demands to know why they've created this eternal night, they reach [[Eientei]], a house hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]. Once there, they either confront [[Eirin Yagokoro]] or [[Kaguya Houraisan]]. Eirin explains that she actually sealed the Earth away from the [[Moon]] in order to prevent the Lunarians from taking Kaguya back. Kaguya, however, has tired of hiding, and so challenges Reimu and Yukari to complete her five impossible requests. Once they're defeated, they undo the seal (and thus "return" the real moon to Gensokyo). Afterwards, they all decide to have a moon viewing. Later on, Kaguya sends them into another part of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost as a "test of guts" - but her true intentions are revealed to be trying to annoy [[Fujiwara no Mokou]], another immortal human, and her eternal rival.<br />

Eventually she reaches [[Muenzuka]], where the [[shinigami]] [[Komachi Onozuka]], who appears to have been slacking off on her job to manage said spirits. [[Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu]] appears after Reimu beats Komachi up, and explains what's happening - an awful lot of spirits of the dead suddenly arrived from the [[Human World]], and they're having trouble accomodating all of them.

Reimu's shrine has become a hotspot for [[youkai]], so she doesn't get many [[human]] visitors to do patronage. She receives a foreboding threat from a [[Sanae Kochiya|mysterious human visitor]], who demands that the [[Hakurei shrine]] be shut down and submit to another god. Reimu, always the optimist, decided to go to [[Youkai Mountain]] to face the goddess who's making these threats. She fights her way up to the [[Moriya Shrine]] and defeats its shrine maiden, [[Sanae Kochiya]], as well as its resident god, [[Kanako Yasaka]], thus saving her own shrine. Afterwards, Reimu summons everyone to the shrine to watch the autumn leaves, where she vouches for Sanae and Kanako and tells [[Nitori]] and [[Aya]] that they should invite them over for drinks sometime and generally get along. Sanae also tells Reimu that youkai are a good source of faith. A while later, Marisa brings Reimu the rumor that a second god is actually living at the Moriya Shrine, and she goes to check it out.

Reimu is sent to investigate with either [[Yukari Yakumo]], [[Suika Ibuki]], or [[Aya Shameimaru]], depending on what shot type the player chooses. She communicates them throughout her trip via her Yin-Yang Orbs. She heads straight to the [[Underworld]], and fights her way deeper and deeper until reaching the [[Palace of the Earth Spirits]]. There she meets [[Satori Komeiji]], whose two pets apparently have something to do with it. Reimu defeats [[Rin Kaenbyou]], then reaches [[Utsuho Reiuji]], who, with her newfound powers, is maintaining the hellfire that heats the Underground, and is responsible for the geysers that let the evil spirits leak out. She defeats her as well, then returns to the surface. Rin starts frequenting the shrine, though mostly for food, and eventually they make the geyser behind the shrine into a hot spring. Utsuho later explains how she came to possess such power, and it seems to point straight towards Kanako and Suwako, so Reimu sets off for the Youkai Mountain again. When she gets to the shrine, however, she meets [[Koishi Komeiji]], who was apparently also looking for who gave Utsuho those powers. Suwako comes out to meet them after they fight and explains it's all part of their "industrial revolution project".<br />

She follows them there and meets [[Byakuren Hijiri]], a Buddhist monk that loves youkai and humans equally. That certainly won't do, so Reimu beats her up. She and Byakuren later fly around the skies on the ship, but afterwards the ship is landed and renovated into the [[Myouren Temple]]. A little later, she follows up on the strange light that was following her during the journey, and it turns out to be [[Nue Houjuu]], a straggler from Byakuren's group.

However, it's not her, so Reimu ends up making her way towards [[Heaven]], where the celestials [[Iku Nagae]] and [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] reside. Tenshi reveals she started the incident simply because she was bored watching everyone else getting involved in incidents and wanted to start her own.

Shortly after the events of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] attends a flower viewing at the [[Hakurei Shrine]], where she meets Reimu, who's in a foul mood since no one wants to help her clean up after event. Aya plies her with sake and questions her about the incident, commenting in the article that "Reimu just seems to be a laid-back drunkard".<br />

In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Reimu appeared on part 6 of the symposium. It was stated that Reimu was hiding and hearing over the whole symposium, that was attended by [[Hieda no Akyuu]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. When she was revealed by Akyuu, Marisa noticed that she had an angry look on her face (although she seems to not be angry with Akyuu). That's because she's not happy with the discussion the group was having, believing that it's all nonsense. She slammed a pile of newspapers in front of them to prove how bad the [[youkai]] are and tells them to stop the symposium immediately. She was requested by the [[human]]s of the [[Human Village]] to stop this as they were aware – and felt uncomfortable – of "non-humans" discussing on changing the way of Gensokyo's life. The group were unhappy with her personality and her way of "fight-first, ask-later" attitude towards youkai, and can't even spend another minute finishing their sake.<br />
<br />
There was also an article included, written by [[Aya Shameimaru]], that involved Reimu's broken-down [[Hakurei Shrine]] during the events of ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''. It stated that it collapsed due to a localised earthquake and that the roof caved into the shrine. Aya found it suspicious that a [[celestial]], that been [[Tenshi Hinanawi]], came to help and re-build it.<br />

When book-lender [[Kosuzu Motoori]] of the [[Human Village]] begins dabbling with demon books, Reimu finds herself frequently having to sort out the incidents caused by the youkai that are released from them. In contrast to ''Wild and Horned Hermit'', which is fairly lighthearted, ''Forbidden Scrollery'' depicts Reimu as a shrine maiden who struggles to maintain the image of a protector for the Human Village while maintaining the masquerade set in place by the youkai.<br />

Reimu has made a guest appearance as the second Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', a [[danmaku]] game series by the junior doujin circle "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]", where [[ZUN]] also contributed music and art to the game. It seems like ZUN put her in the game along with [[Marisa Kirisame]]. Her title was "Eternal Shrine Maiden" and her theme was "Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Ancients". To add to this, [[Yuuka Kazami]] made a guest appearances in the following work, ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have no view towards the [[Seihou World]]; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery. After VIVIT defeated Marisa at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in [[Gensokyo]], Marisa was then thudded by Reimu for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Reimu attacked her with two [[purification rod]]s before she could explain what she was doing. After Reimu lost, VIVIT told her that she was looking for the [[Holy Grail]], causing Reimu to become confused and start asking questions.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Although Reimu often shows up as the main character, she doesn't participate in mundane activities to the extent [[Marisa Kirisame]] does, limiting her familiarity with most of [[Gensokyo]]'s population.

They are seen together most often in the print works, game and extra stage prologues where they hang out at the shrine together, chatting about the latest rumors and news in Gensokyo. They’ve known each other since childhood and have been close ever since. <br />
<br />
Reimu and Marisa often quarrel and spar with each other, for reasons ranging from resolving incidents to hotpot ingredients. Regardless, they usually resolve their differences and continue being as close as ever.<br />
<br />
They’ve also worked together on numerous occasions, such as when they chased down an enenra, or worked to exterminate a vengeful spirit. Though generally, they solve incidents at their own pace.<br />
<br />
===Yukari Yakumo===<br />
Despite her antagonistic personality, [[Yukari Yakumo]] mentors Reimu by pushing her to increase her spiritual powers, such as learning how to invoke the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. In that case, Reimu followed her instructions and orders to train hard despite Yukari not informing Reimu why she needed to do so, displaying how much Reimu either trusts Yukari or has decided it's pointless to argue with her (or both). Yukari occasionally seeks Reimu's assistance in resolving incidents in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. In this regard, she is an employer of sorts, as she remarks about compensating Reimu accordingly during the [[Imperishable Night]] incident. Yukari is also secretly a benefactor as well, donating to the shrine behind Reimu's back. Reimu is unaware of that, however.<br />
<br />
===Rinnosuke Morichika===<br />
Reimu is familiar with [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], a shopkeeper who owns [[Kourindou]], who she sometimes visits to hang out or for wares (and sometimes shoplifts). She apparently has a large unpaid tab for requested items and services, but denies it since Rinnosuke "never accepts money" (which he denies being the case). Rinnosuke was also the one that originally prepared her [[purification rod]] for her use.<br />
<br />
===Sanae Kochiya===<br />
Despite being the priestess of a rival shrine, [[Sanae Kochiya]] is on friendly terms with Reimu and appears frequently in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' alongside Reimu and Marisa. She came on a bit strongly when she and Reimu first met, but she really thought she was helping the Hakurei Shrine out by attempting to get it to switch gods to [[Kanako Yasaka]]. After ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Sanae offered to help Reimu as a fellow shrine maiden to gather faith for the shrine, and she appears to have been friends with Reimu since then. Nonetheless, the two have no qualms about antagonizing the other at times, though these quarrels are usually resolved by the next time they meet.<br />
<br />
===Kasen Ibaraki===<br />
[[Kasen Ibaraki]] is a regular at the shrine and acts as a mentor (and sometimes guardian) of Reimu, whom she fears is too concerned with worldly desires. Kasen actually initially became Reimu's mentor as part of her own plan, but she continues to view herself as a mentor after her goals were achieved. Reimu mostly thinks of Kasen as a nagging, preachy busybody. However, Reimu often concedes, either because Kasen is usually right or she doesn't want to deal with her. Kasen is openly critical of Reimu, believing her to be too greedy and slack in her duties. In spite of this, Reimu views Kasen as a genuine friend. When fighting Kasen's arm, Reimu was unable to bring herself to fight Kasen whole-heartedly until she realized that the arm battling her was actually a separate entity from Kasen. By the present day, Reimu knows that Kasen is secretly an oni, but partially due to this friendship and partially due to owing Kasen for all the money that one of Kasen's schemes got her, Reimu can't tell anyone else about it.<br />
<br />
===Genjii===<br />
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Reimu used a [[turtle]] as a means for flight until the end of ''[[Mystic Square]]''; that turtle was [[Genjii]]. Reimu calls him "gramps".<br />
<br />
===Three Fairies of Light===<br />
Reimu is often the target of pranks by the [[Three Fairies of Light]], and Reimu tends to exterminate them on sight whenever she catches them (unless Marisa's escorting them). As of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', the three fairies moved into a tree near the [[Hakurei Shrine]] and become Reimu's neighbors, increasing the amount of pranks even more. Reimu aims to evict the fairies, but cannot find their treehouse, which is actually located on the [[Hakurei Border]]. Eventually, in an attempt to befriend Reimu so she'll no longer threaten them, the three fairies challenge her to a battle, reasoning that Reimu tends to befriend many youkai after fighting them. After an intense battle, Reimu finally defeats the fairies (instantly), and points out that their line of reasoning is utterly ridiculous. Despite this, Marisa finds that Reimu befriended the fairies after all, and as of the end of Oriental Sacred Place, the fairies now happily openly spend time at the shrine while helping Reimu out with various chores.<br />
<br />
===Byakuren Hijiri===<br />
Reimu views [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the [[Myouren Temple]] as a rival of sorts to herself and the Hakurei Shrine. In ''[[Ten Desires]]'', [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] points out that Reimu is friendly towards Byakuren. Although Reimu says they're religious rivals, she doesn't seem to deny it. In one of her ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' endings, Reimu is depressed at how quickly Byakuren's temple is picking up followers compared to her own shrine. By the time of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', Reimu is angry at the temple for stealing away her shrine's followers (ignoring that her shrine never had (m)any followers in the first place), but Byakuren seems unaware of this.<br />
<br />
===Kosuzu Motoori===<br />
[[Kosuzu Motoori]], the daughter of the book-lender in the Human Village, has a great deal of respect for Reimu. She is convinced that no harm will come to her from dealing with the youma books, because she is sure that Reimu will come save her if anything happens.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;The Hakurei God<br />
Reimu knows next to nothing about [[The Hakurei God|the god dwelling in her shrine]], making her unable to provide it with faith despite her efforts. Byakuren stated in one of the endings for ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' that the god is mad due to this.<br />
<br />
;Ruukoto<br />
In the PC-98 canon, she obtains a [[robot]]ic maid named [[Ruukoto]] as a servant at the end of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' though no reference has been made to it since.<br />
<br />
;Mima<br />
In the PC-98 canon, [[Mima]] is an [[Onryou#Akuryou|Akuryou]] who haunts the surroundings of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], after many confrontations and being resealed by Reimu, she decides to spend her days making fun of the shrine maiden.<br />
<br />
;Suika Ibuki<br />
[[Suika Ibuki]], who often freeloads her shrine after the events of ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' is also is her ally during ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Reimu saw Suika's presence as a nuisance at first, but never really bothered with driving her away.<br />
<br />
;Aya Shameimaru<br />
[[Aya Shameimaru]], the [[tengu]] reporter was also her ally during the events of ''Subterranean Animism''.<br />
<br />
;[[Misumaru Tamatsukuri]]<br />
Although Reimu never met her before the Ability Card Incident, she was responsible for creating the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s.<br />
<br />
;Unnamed kitsune & Unnamed kuda-gitsune<br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' Chapter 8, The [[Unnamed kitsune]] offered to help Reimu gain worshipers after being caught disguised as Marisa during a party at Hakurei Shrine. She was, however, deceiving Reimu by letting her use the powers of her kuda-gitsune. Using her ability, they gathered worshipers. [[Kasen Ibaraki]] discovered that these fox youkai had been consuming Reimu's willpower and wealth as payment for their help. However, they managed to walk away from the Hakurei Shrine with all her wealth.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Reimu is the most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games, with [[Marisa Kirisame]] coming second. Reimu appears in every Touhou game, two times more than Marisa, who didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and the minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]''.<br />
*Reimu appears on the cover of all five [[PC-98]] games.<br />
*Reimu seems to be scared during her boss battle with the [[Five Magic Stones]].<br />
*Most of her theme from ''Lotus Land Story'' sounds similar to [[Elis]] and [[Kikuri]]'s theme from ''Highly Responsive to Prayers'', "Magic Mirror".<br />
*It was originally stated that she lives alone at the shrine, but other rarely seen characters ([[Mima]] and [[SinGyoku]]) are known to stay there or near there as well. Even then, Reimu claims that most youkai visitors are nuisances, and she'd prefer to be left alone. [[Marisa Kirisame]] seems to be one of the few who she wouldn't drive away.<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Reimu is the only one whose partner doesn't mention the danger of the full moon.<br />
*Reimu's ultimate technique {{nihongo|'''Fantasy Nature'''|夢想天生|musou tensei|"innate fantasy gained at birth"}} is homophonous with the ultimate technique of the Hokuto Shinken school in ''[[wikipedia:Fist of the North Star|Fist of the North Star]]'', {{nihongo|'''Musou Tensei'''|無想転生|musou tensei|"nil-thought rebirth"}}, and has much the same effect.<br />
**In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', if you activate Fantasy Nature successfully in a 3rd round, a remix of "Eastern Mystical Love Consultation" will play which resembles ''Ai wo Torimodose'', the opening theme of the ''Fist of the North Star'' anime (an instrumental version of which usually plays whenever Kenshiro is about to win a fight).<br />
*In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', one of her alternative palettes looks similar to VIVIT. Also, one of her palettes seems to be another maid homage, [[Ruukoto]], or possibly [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s colours. The palette also seems to resemble Mima from ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]''. Her white/light gray palette seems to resemble [[wikipedia:Toki (Fist of the North Star)#Toki|Toki]] from Hokuto no Ken and possibly somewhat similar to her white outfit from the fangame ''[[Concealed the Conclusion]]''. <!--And finally, her white/light blue palette looks like a tribute to [http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Nanoha_Takamachi Nanoha], as they both tend to "befriend" their opponents with superior firepower.--><br />
*When playing Yukari's story mode in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', Reimu breaks down in tears in the ending after Yukari defeats [[Tenshi Hinanawi|Tenshi]] and reduces the Hakurei Shrine to rubble for the second time, with [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]] and [[Youmu Konpaku|Youmu]] looking on helplessly (although Suika offers to help rebuild it). This marks the first and only time where she's seen crying in a storyline scenario.<br />
*The shrine maiden at the end of ''[[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]'' is probably Reimu. She has Reimu's title, "Shrine Maiden of Paradise" (and her personality), and according to [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Music Columns|''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Music Column]], the shrine maiden in the song that accompanies the ending section is Reimu (so basically, this shrine maiden has Reimu's song and title). However, only the shrine maiden at the end is referred to as the shrine maiden of paradise. Thus it's possible that the shrine maiden seen in the first half of the story is a different person altogether.<br />
*A "13th Shrine Maiden" signs off the Gensokyo Record in [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Prologue|''Perfect Cherry Blossom'''s prologue]]. [[ZUN]] has stated in [[ZUN's E-mails|an e-mail]] that the Gensokyo Record is unreliable (for one thing, the writing style of each section shows it was written by a different person each time), thus "there's a high possibility that Reimu isn't the 13th Hakurei shrine maiden." (technically, this also means there's no proof that the person who wrote that section of the record is a shrine maiden at all). <br />
*It' is shown in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' that the shrine sometimes gets various donations (including wine) from unknown sources (implied to be from the [[Outside World|outside world]], as the [[Hakurei Shrine]] lies on the border) and Yukari is shown in ''Oriental Sacred Place'' to sneak yen donations into the offering box when Reimu isn't looking.<br />
*In [[Wild and Horned Hermit]] chapter 46, Reimu experiences a near-death experience because of food poisoning.<br />
**It is also revealed, in the same chapter, that she has trouble of taking care of herself.<br />
*Reimu appears on most of the series menu/title screen<br />

[[Shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], She has some spirit-power by nature, but lacks training. Her weapon is the mighty [[Yin-Yang Orb]], but her control is somewhat unstable.<br /><br />
But anyway, with her spirit-power, she got quite some skills.<br /><br />
Her usual attacks -namely amulet-attacks, spirit-power discharging (霊撃 -Spirit strike-), melee skills- are useless to current enemies. She's in some trouble.<br /><br />
Currently, she's the only person in the shrine.<br />

She's an optimist. She faces some strange incidents, but still she enjoys them.<br><br />
Because of her slightly emotional and simple character, she's often made fun of by [[Marisa Kirisame|Marisa]].<br />

<br/><br />
博麗神社の巫女さん。才能はあるが修行不足。もともと修行は好きでない。強力な霊力でいままで幾多の魔法使い、悪霊、妖怪、そして神と闘ってきたらしい(理由、なんとなく)<br/><br />
いつも何か変な事に巻き込まれてしまうが、その半分は陰で魔理沙が引き起こしているらしい。霊夢は気づかないふりをしている。そんな魔理沙をしょうがない奴と考えている。<br/><br />
| translation = '''Eternal Shrine Maiden<br>Reimu Hakurei'''<br><br />
The [[shrine maiden]] of [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Talented, but lacks training. Basically, she doesn't like to train. They say she has fought plenty of [[magician]]s, evil spirits, [[youkai]] and even gods with her strong spiritual power (for no particular reason).<br><br />
She's always involved in some strange affairs, though she seems to be dragged into most of them due to [[Marisa Kirisame|Marisa]]. Reimu pretends not to notice this. She sees Marisa as essentially a hopeless case.<br />

人がほとんどこなくなった神社に住んでいて、本人は世間離れしすぎている。<br/><br />
本人は降りかかる火の粉を払っているだけなのだが、結果としてそれは、幻想郷の住人が人里に行かないように、また人間が幻想郷に迷い込まないように、という役目になっているらしい。<br/><br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br/><br />
[[Shrine maiden]] of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], and protagonist of the [[Touhou]] series. She appears quite carefree on the outside, and indeed deep down, she really is carefree. She lives in her shrine and is rarely visited by anyone, which causes her to be out of touch with current social norms. Even though she only extinguished certain sparks of conflict because they seemed to befall her without warning, her actions have generally resulted in preventing the residents of [[Gensokyo]] from visiting [[human]] settlements, and keeping outsiders away from wandering into Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />

The protagonist.<br />
<br />
Chronologically, this title isn't too far from the previous title, thus her age stays the same as before.<br />
<br />
There is nothing special about her being a [[shrine maiden]]. Or rather, she's a shrine maiden only because the [[Touhou]] series has become the "Shrine Maiden [[Shooting game|Shooting Game]]" series. It feels like the cart has been placed before the horse to me.<br/><br />
<br />
This time, her outfit isn't overly intricate like typical [[shrine maiden]] clothing, but has become quite simple and only remotely resembles that of a shrine maiden. Is she really a shrine maiden?<br />
<br />
She's more like "You, red-white!" in my opinion.<br/><br />

[[Hakurei Shrine]]'s [[shrine maiden]], and the protagonist. Her mind might appear normal, but in fact it's like spring in full bloom.<br/><br />
The shrine is always haunted by [[youkai]], and they're very friendly to Reimu as well.<br/><br />
She's hardly performing the role of a shrine maiden at this point.<br/><br />
She hates training, and because of this, lacks ability. So her skill is quite so-so.<br/><br />
She hates to do her very best at anything that falls upon her.<br/><br />
That's because she doesn't believe that effort will be rewarded.<br/><br />
Because of that, the [[Hakurei Shrine]]'s paper fortune doesn't have {{nihongo|"Least luck"|末吉}}<br/><br />
''[Typically, a shrine's paper fortune has {{nihongo|Best luck|大吉}}, {{nihongo|Medium luck|中吉}}, {{nihongo|Little luck|小吉}}, {{nihongo|Least luck|末吉}}, {{nihongo|Misfortune|凶}} and {{nihongo|Worst misfortune|大凶}}. "{{lang|ja|末吉}}" is usually interpreted as "You'll get exactly as your effort"]''<br />
<br />
Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly in the air.<br />
<br />
:She has a smaller [[hit box]], and her focused movement allows player to dodge very precisely.<br />
:Spirit Sign's "Hakurei Amulet" is quite easy to use. It allows you to focus on dodging bullets.<br />
:On the other hand, Dream Sign's "Extermination" wields destructive power of the highest class.<br />
:Bosses are killed quickly, but the invincibility duration of her bombs is the shortest of all characters. It's also lacking in both effective radius and damage.<br />

<br /><br />
主に空を飛ぶ程度の能力を持つ。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
基本的に巫女さん。幻想郷の境にある博麗神社の巫女さん。博麗神社自体は、幻想郷と人間界の両方に位置する。<br /><br />
・・<br /> その境が博麗神社境内である。どちらからみても、人里離れた山奥に存在し、大きさもさほど無いし、御利益もゆかりも何も無い小さな神社なので、どのみち参拝客は殆ど来ない。<br /><br />
この神社の中では、殆どの結界は無効化される。それだけ、幻想郷と人間界の境、博麗大結界の力は大きいのである。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
幻想郷で唯一、博麗の者だけが規律を持つ。その為、霊夢は一応制服のような物を着用している(他にも規律はあるはずなのだが・・・)紅白の服を着て、幻想郷の端っこから、幻想郷の空を見つめつつ、お茶でも飲むのが日課である。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
元々、霊夢は不思議な力を色々使えるが、それを活用したり自慢したりはしない。すべては在るがままに、である。<br />

'''Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
She possess the ability to mainly fly in the air.<br />
<br />
Basically, she's a [[shrine maiden]]. The shrine maiden of [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located on the boundary of [[Gensokyo]].<br/><br />
The Hakurei Shrine exists in both Gensokyo and the world of [[human]]s at the same time.<br/><br />
The boundary is the home territory of the Hakurei Shrine. From both sides, it's located at a very remote place from human villages, and is also kind of small, and has no known history or benefits. So it's no wonder that it rarely gets any visitors.<br/><br />
Inside the shrine, almost all foreign boundaries has been nullified. That alone should say that the Hakurei Boundary, the boundary between Gensokyo and the world of humans, is amazingly powerful.<br />
<br />
Only those of the Hakurei have rules to follow in [[Gensokyo]]. Therefore, Reimu always wears clothes that's apparently some kind of uniform (she's supposed to have ''many'' other rules too, though...). Her daily routine consists of wearing red-white, staring at Gensokyo's sky from the edge of Gensokyo, and drinking tea.<br />
<br />
By nature, Reimu can use various mysterious powers, but she doesn't use them or boast about them. Everything is, as is, after all.<br />

非常に単純な思考の持ち主で、怒る時は怒り、笑う時は笑う。裏表のない性格は、人間妖怪問わず惹き付ける。その為、神社はいつも色んな者が集まるのである。<br/><br />
<br/><br />
体術にしても妖術にしても、修行は不足気味(というか殆どしない)だが、余りある天性のセンスでカバーしていて、もの凄く強い。それはもう、人とは思えない位に。ワープしていたり、ホーミングしていたりするが、本人はまっすぐ動いているつもり。ずるい巫女さん。<br/><br />

<br />
Species: [[Human]]<br/><br />
Location: [[Hakurei Shrine]]<br/><br />
Ability: Flying in the air<br />
<br />
A typical [[shrine maiden]] from Hakurei Shrine. She always lives on ideas off the top of her head, and doesn't consider something seriously. The only thing she does that actually resembles a shrine maiden's duties is enjoying tea and life on the veranda.<br />
<br />
She's quite simple-minded, thus when she's angry she's angry, and when she smiles she smiles. Her open personality makes her well-liked by both [[human]]s and [[youkai]]. Due to that, many people stay close to the shrine.<br />
<br />
She lacks training in both melee and spells (or rather, she rarely does them), but she covers that up with the numerous talents she's born with. So she's quite tough, enough to make you wonder if she's really a human. While she warps or uses guided shots, it's all straight from her perspective. What a mean shrine maiden.<br />

地球の重力も、如何なる重圧も、力による脅しも、彼女には全く意味が無い。<br/><br />
身も心も、幻想の宙をふわふわと漂う不思議な巫女である。<br/><br />
相手がどんなに強大だとしても、彼女の前では意味をなさない。<br/><br />
相手の肩書きを平坦化する彼女は、時として人間、妖怪、種族を選ばず惹きつける事もある。<br/><br />

<br/><br />
備考 <br/><br />
今回は八雲紫と組む。<br/><br />
低速移動は単独使用時のみの性能である。<br/><br />
威力が若干劣る事もあるが基本的に使い<br/><br />
やすく、敵の場所を覚える必要も少ない。<br/><br />

A [[human]] that lives on the boundary. She has the ability to fly in the air.<br />
<br />
She's the shrine maiden of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], which is located at the edge of [[Gensokyo]] and (possibly) has ancient and honourable origins.<br/><br />
She's emotional and noisy, and has a presence wherever she is, but she merges into her surroundings quite easily.<br/><br />
Her ability is being able to fly, that is, being weightless.<br/><br />
The gravity of Earth, any level of stress, and threats of power all mean nothing to her.<br/><br />
Both her mind and body float in the sky of fantasy, a mysterious [[Shrine Maiden|shrine maiden]].<br/><br />
However powerful the opponent is, that means nothing in her presence.<br/><br />
As she evens out whatever status one has, she tends to attract anyone regardless of species, [[human]] or [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
Her weapons are amulets and a [[Yin-Yang orb]]. She is also preferred by mosquitoes.<br />
<br />
:''Notes''<br />
:She teams with [[Yukari Yakumo|Yukari]] this time.<br />
:Focused speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.<br />
:She lacks a bit in damage, but is quite easy to use and doesn't need much memorization.<br />
:She's quite strong, especially against smaller enemies.<br />
:In a word, dastardly.<br />

The morning that she was expecting to see after a full night's sleep didn't greet her. She thought that something very strange was going on, so she left the shrine to investigate. It's not unusual for her to go out at night, but going out at midnight just after having taken a full night's rest was most unusual. Anyway, nights always make her sleepy, so she'll be going back to bed once the issue is resolved. She followed a trail of power into a bamboo forest, and what she found were very familiar faces...<br />

She treats everyone basically the same way. However, since her job is hunting [[youkai]], she takes a fairly strict stance against youkai, but she's actually equally uninterested in humans and youkai.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
This time, there's a conspiracy surrounding her gods. She may be their spokesperson, but her circumstances as a youkai hunter are different, so she feels a bit lost.<br/><br />

Her weapons are amulets and yin-yang balls. Her piety seems light.<br/><br />

<br /><br />
It was there, within the mountain distance away from the human village, in the far off country in the East—Gensokyo. It has been a while since it was separated from the outside world by the Barrier, which the youkai made.<br/><br />
Things that were forgotten from this world, things that were no longer needed, have been gathered around at the place. Due to such nature, Gensokyo should have become a paradise for the youkai.<br/><br />
Reimu Hakurei is too, one of the people residing in Gensokyo, who makes her living by exterminating youkai.<br/><br />
"Huh? What's this, an interview?<br/><br />
Do I have to say something? I mean, who're you anyway?"<br />

普段は大人しい人間もいつも元気な妖怪も、<br/><br />
皆一様に興奮しているように見える。<br/><br />
彼らが血気盛んな理由はただ一つ。<br/><br />
これから巫女とそのライバルによる決闘が 行われるというのだ。<br/><br />
この闘いに勝って人気を不動の物とせよ!<br />
<br />
特技 万有霊力の法則<br />
<br />
霊力ゲージが他のキャラより長くなっており、<br/><br />
霊力最大値がアップします。<br/><br />
射撃攻撃や必殺技をより多く使用でき、<br/><br />
攻撃をガードして多少霊力を減らされても余裕が出ます。<br />
<br />
ラストワード 夢想天生<br />
<br />
構えを取って相手の打撃を受け止めて隙を作り、<br/><br />
大量のお札で包囲して圧殺する霊夢の最終奥義です。<br/><br />
0距離であれば問答無用にガード不能で発動するため、<br/><br />
カウンターを恐れて萎縮する相手を突き崩すことも容易です。<br />
| translation ='''The Advocate of the Myriad Gods, Reimu Hakurei'''<br />
<br />
The normally calm humans and the always-energetic youkai<br/><br />
are both in a state of excitement.<br/><br />
Their blood is boiling for one reason.<br/><br />
From here on, the shrine maiden and her rivals will be battling it out.<br/><br />
Emerge victorious in this battle, and acquire unwavering popularity!<br />
<br />
'''Special skill: Law of Universal Spirit Power'''<br />
<br />
Reimu's spirit power gauge is longer than the other characters',<br/><br />
so her maximum spirit power is increased.<br/><br />
She can use more ranged attacks and special attacks,<br/><br />
and even if she loses some spirit power while guarding attacks, she'll still have more in supply.<br/><br />
<br />
'''Last Word: Fantasy Nature'''<br />
<br />
Reimu adopts a stance, and by taking an enemy melee attack, she creates an opening,<br/><br />
and then surrounds the enemy with massive amounts of ofuda and annihilates them in her most powerful attack.<br/><br />
If it's at point-blank range, guarding against it is impossible,<br/><br />
so it's also easy to wear down and flatten opponents fearful of the counter.<br />

The all-too-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.<br />

Her weapon's called a purification rod, but its formal name is the ''oonusa''.<br/><br />
It chases enemies on its own to purify them, but since its homing speed is somewhat bad,<br/><br />
she has more success carrying it up to the enemies and then throwing it.<br />
<br />
Somehow, it doesn't seem to be very satisfactory as a purification rod.<br />

The all-too familiar, wonderful Shrine Maiden of Gensokyo.<br/><br />
A well balanced standard character who fights with both projectiles and physical attacks.<br/><br />
Recommended to beginners who want to learn of the duels of this world.<br/><br />
<br />
Her Occult Attack is “The Gap in the Great Hakurei Barrier”.<br/><br />
It’s a projectile-type attack that opens a gap in mid-air, where from wreckage flies towards the opponent.<br />
Since Reimu herself moves independently from the gap, she can also attack simultaneously.<br />

| translation = Our infamous protagonist. She appears throughout most of the series. In the 6th title of the series, EoSD, I changed Reimu's design a lot and she became quite different compared to Reimu in previous titles. You can say she's Reimu reintroduced.<br/><br />
She's supposed to be a powerhouse, yet she's unreliable here and there. She's supposed to be the youkai exterminator, yet she's more liked by youkai than humans in comparison. With those traits, she shows her charm through such frivolity. If Reimu were the conventional type of protagonist who's dead serious about justice while having tons of companions, we'd be talking about a completely different story that is nothing like Touhou.<br />

==General Information== <br />
The {{nihongo|'''Animal Realm'''|畜生界|Chikushoukai}} is a loosely-defined region of [[Hell]] (often treated as a separate neighboring realm) that is inhabited by countless animal spirits. As befits a realm related to Hell, the Animal Realm is a harsh place ruled by survival of the fittest, and human spirits are enslaved on the lowest rung of the animals' hierarchy.<br />
<br />
While not directly connected to Gensokyo, it's possible to travel between the two by passing through greater [[Hell]]. The presence of border guards in Hell makes this difficult except during extenuating circumstances, however.<br />
<br />
===Basis===<br />
The Animal Realm is loosely based on the [[wikipedia:Desire_realm|Tiryagyoni desire realm]] (畜生界, ''Chikushoukai'') in real-world Buddhist cosmology, from where the in-universe location takes its name. In real-world Buddhist cosmology, the Tiryagyoni realm is the state of existence inhabited by non-human animals on Earth, and is distinct from the "Hell realm" of [[wikipedia:Naraka_(Buddhism)|Naraka]].<br />
<br />
==Background Information== <br />
<br />
==Geography and People== <br />
The majority of the Animal Realm is a skyscraper-filled metropolis, with one remaining forested region known as the [[Primate Spirit Garden]] where the human spirits are kept. The Garden is surrounded by a swamp, with its central island bearing a strong resemblance to the real-world [[wikipedia:Mozu_Tombs|Daisenryou Kofun]], and is treated as a recreational area by the realm's animal inhabitants. During the events of ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', a high-tech fortress was built in the middle of the garden by [[Keiki Haniyasushin]], but it may have been destroyed after her defeat.<br />
<br />
The Animal Realm is ruled by four [[wikipedia:Yakuza|yakuza]]-esque gangs: [[Saki Kurokoma]]'s Keiga Family, characterized by strength and brute force, [[Yachie Kicchou]]'s Kiketsu Family, characterized by underhanded attacks from the shadows, [[Yuuma Toutetsu]]'s Gouyoku Alliance, characterized by aerial warfare, and a fourth unnamed organization which specializes in cowardly methods of attack such as traps, camouflage, and parasitism. It's said that survival in the Animal Realm practically necessitates working for one of these gangs.<br />
<br />
===Names of the Groups===<br />
The name of Yachie's family, the ''Kiketsu'' (鬼傑), roughly translates to "relentless excellence". <br />
<br />
The name of Saki's family, the ''Keiga'' (勁牙), translates to "strong fang". The character 勁 ''kei'' ("strong" or "agile") also appears in the prefix of most of her Spell Cards.<br />
<br />
The first part of Yuuma's alliance's name, ''Gouyoku'' (剛欲), roughly translates to "obstinate avarice". It shares its pronunciation with the deadly sin of Greed (強欲). This name is also present in the title of ''[[Touhou Gouyoku Ibun]]''.<br />
<br />
==Animal Realm's Appearences== <br />
===Games===<br />
;Wily Beast and Weakest Creature<br />
During the events of ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', the collective faith of the Animal Realm's human spirits summoned [[Keiki Haniyasushin]], who took over the Primate Spirit Garden in the name of liberating the human spirits. She was aided in this effort by an army of [[wikipedia:Haniwa|haniwa]] soldiers (including [[Mayumi Joutouguu]]) that she created, which had no innate spiritual qualities and thus could not be harmed by the animal spirits. The animal spirits responded by taking advantage of [[Hell]]'s current political turmoil to secretly travel to [[Gensokyo]] and enlist the help of the protagonist-- either [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]] or [[Youmu Konpaku]]-- under false pretenses, followed by the protagonist successfully defeating Keiki (albeit without fully understanding what was going on).<br />
<br />
Following Keiki's defeat, the Animal Realm returned to business as usual. Shortly thereafter, [[Saki Kurokoma]] attempted to invade Gensokyo herself, and was defeated by the protagonist.<br />

==Editing note==<br />
When linking to this page, Gregorian or Gensokyoan years can be used as anchors - e.g. "Gensokyo Calendar#Season_122" would take you to the Season 122 section, and "Gensokyo Calendar#2007" would bring you to the winter just before it. Anchors for "Ancient Times", "Meiji", "PC-98" and "Seihou" are also usable.<br />
--><br />
Below is a timeline of events within the Touhou Project universe. Please note that there is speculation involved in the dating of some events.<br />
<br />
There are two calendars in common use in [[Gensokyo]]: the Gregorian calendar, which is the main calendar used by Gensokyo's inhabitants, and a youkai lunisolar calendar, which is generally restricted to [[Youkai Mountain]].<ref name="kou24">[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]] - [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref> The youkai calendar is based on the phase of the moon - as a result, it runs somewhat offset from ours. All events in this timeline will use the Gregorian calendar with estimated youkai calendar dates in brackets for important events where they can be deduced (under the assumption that the youkai calendar is determined in the same way as the Japanese lunisolar calendar), except for articles from the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]] and the [[Kakashi Spirit News]]<!--[[Kakashi Thought Report]]?-->, which are originally dated in the youkai calendar (the numbering is assumed to represent issue numbers in each month; see Notes below for more details). CE (Common Era) and BCE (Before Common Era) are used instead of AD and BC. <!-- Since Christianity is nonexistent in Gensokyo, for now anyway :P --><br />
<br />
Years are numbered as "Season X", where season 0 equates to 1885. This is therefore conjectured to be the year that the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]] was created.<br />
<br />
==Month names==<br />
<br />
The lunisolar calendar uses the traditional names of the Japanese months, from the old lunar calendar. In outside Japan, these were discarded in favor of simple numbered months (ichigatsu, nigatsu, etc.) with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, but are still commonplace in poetry and historical television.<br />
<br />
*April - {{Nihongo|Deutzia Month|卯月|uzuki}}<br />
*May - {{Nihongo|Planting Month|皐月|satsuki}}<br />
*June - {{Nihongo|Month of Water|水無月|minazuki}}<ref>The kanji {{lang|ja|無}} usually means 'none', but here it's used in an archaic form to show possession</ref><br />
*July - {{Nihongo|Book Month|文月|fumitsuki}}<br />
*August - {{Nihongo|Leaf Month|葉月|hazuki}}<br />
*September - {{Nihongo|Long-lasting Month|長月|nagatsuki}}<br />
*October - {{Nihongo|Month of Gods / Godless Month|神無月|kannazuki/kaminashizuki}}<ref>The kanji {{lang|ja|無}} is probably being used to show possession as with Minazuki. However, there is a false etymology that claims that since in this month the Shinto kami gather at Izumo (in which the month is named Kamiarizuki, Month with Gods) there are no gods in the rest of the country. Other etymologies have been suggested.</ref><br />
*November - {{Nihongo|Frost Month|霜月|shimotsuki}}<br />
*December - {{Nihongo|Priest-running Month|師走|shiwasu}}<br />
*January - {{Nihongo|Affection Month|睦月|mutsuki}}<br />
*February - {{Nihongo|More Clothes Month|如月/衣更着|kisaragi}}<br />
*March - {{Nihongo|Sprouting Month|弥生|yayoi}}<br />
<br />
In addition, the calendar also has an intercalary month, simply named "Thirteenth Month".<ref name="kou24" /> The method for determining placement of the intercalary month is unknown.<br />
<br />
New Year's in Gensokyo is believed to be on the 1st of the Deutzia Month.<!-- Seasonal Dream Vision--><br />
For the purpose of this timeline the months are numbered the same as their corresponding months in the Japanese calendar (e.g. Uzuki = 4).<br />

| [[wikipedia:Amano-Iwato|The hiding in the cave]].<br /><br />
*After [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu-oomikami]] came out of the cave, the rope that was used to seal the cave was the start of femto fiber (shimenawa rope).<ref name="bou_19">[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] - Chapter 19</ref><br />
*In Nihon Shoki, Amaterasu-oomikami's younger brother [[wikipedia:Susanoo|Susanoo]] was exiled from Takamagahara.<br />

| The White Rabbit of Inaba.<br />
*As the White Rabbit of Inaba was even further in the past than the [[wikipedia:Tenson_kōrin|tenson kourin]], and this tenson kourin was more than 1,792,470 years before Emperor Jimmu went on his eastern expedition.<br />
*Emperor Jimmu's father [[wikipedia:Ugayafukiaezu|Ugayafukiaezu]] lived several hundreds of thousands of years (comment on Keine's spell card ''Origin Sign "Ephemerality 137"'')<br />(as the child and great-grandchild, about 1.79 million ÷ about 3 ≈ several hundred thousands of years, and indirectly contains the topic of the tenson kourin.)<br />

|-<br />
| Japanese mythology<br />
| Surrender of the country<br /><br />
*[[wikipedia:ja:天津神・国津神|Amatsukami]] destroyed much of Ookuninushi's land, but fearing a rebellion from Ookuninushi, Ookuninushi was sealed in Izumo Temple using femto fiber.<ref name="bou_19" /><br />

| Japanese mythology<br />
| Comparison of the heights of the mountains<ref name="bou_n_4">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]] - [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fourth Chapter|Chapter 4]]</ref><br /><br />
*In the past, [[Iwanagahime]] and [[Konohana-Sakuyahime]] lived in Mount Fuji.<br />
*Konohana-Sakuyahime compared the heights of Mount Fuji and Yatsugatake.<br />
*Since Yatsugatake was higher, by the enraged Sakuyahime, Yatsugatake was broken, and became its current form.<br />
*Iwanagahime, tired of this kind of little sister, left Mount Fuji, and moved to the Yatsugatake that had become short and unattractive.<br />
*The Yatsugatake that was once Japan's highest mountain turned into illusion, and became [[Youkai Mountain]]<br />
*Iwanagahime furthermore, at around the time of 100 years ago, moved to Gensokyo's Youkai Mountain (once Yatsugatake)<br />
*In the variations of the legend of the mountain comparison, in this instance there was also one where a shed teardrop became [[wikipedia:Lake Suwa|Lake Suwa (Suwa-ko)]]. The tale of the god of [[wikipedia:Mount Tateshina|Mount Tateshina]] crying and the tale of the god of Yatsugatake crying has various patterns. Within it, there was also the theory that Mount Yatsugatake was once [[wikipedia:Izu Islands|the Izu Islands]].<br />
*In the [[wikipedia:ja:%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E7%A5%9E%E8%A9%B1|Nihon Shinwa]], Sakuyabime afterwards became [[wikipedia:Ninigi-no-Mikoto|Ninigi]]'s wife (= Emperor Jimmu's great-grandmother).<br />
*The destruction of the mountain Yatsugatake (old [[wikipedia:ja:阿弥陀岳|Amidadake]]) was 200-250 thousand years ago.<br />
|-<br />
| Chinese mythology<br />
| [[:wikipedia:Hou Yi|Hou Yi]] shoots down the Nine Sunbirds.<br /><br />
*Occurs during China's [[wikipedia:Xia Dynasty|Xia Dynasty]] (established circa 2070 BCE).<br />
This leads to the ''brightening'' of the Hells that [[Hecatia Lapislazuli]] was overseeing. <br><br />
*Houyi becomes the ruler of a kingdom during the Xia dynasty period. He usurpted the previous king that was Junko's husband and took over the land, becoming Junko's new husband. Shortly after he would cause the death of [[Junko]]'s son, Bó Fēng. She later would corroborate with one of Houyi's ministers (possibly [[wikipedia:Feng Meng|Feng Meng]]) to assassinate her husband to avenge her son.<br />
|-<br />
| Far in the past<br />
| [[Lord Tsukuyomi|Tsukuyomi]] takes his most trusted relatives to the [[moon]]. Development of the lunar capital, start of [[lunarian]] civilization.<br /> ZUN has stated that the Lunarians are the Amatsukami (Heavenly Gods) of ancient times.<ref>[[Strange_Creators_of_Outer_World/Legacy_of_Lunatic_Kingdom_interview_with_ZUN|Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom Interview with ZUN]] "And they understand that up there is the world of the heavenly gods..."</ref><br />
*The lunar capital was constructed by Lord Tsukuyomi and under the guidance of [[Eirin Yagokoro]].<br />
*Eirin has existed even longer than Tsukuyomi. <ref>[[Cage_in_Lunatic_Runagate/Third_Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate: Chapter 3]] "Our master has lived even longer than Lord Tsukuyomi. When he moved to the moon and built the capital, the one he relied on the most was our master, Lady Eirin Yagokoro."</ref> As she was stated to be a goddess, <ref>[[Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Interview|Symposium of Post-mysticism: Interview with ZUN]] "My thought is that the Lunar Capital is where the highest, noblest gods live. On the other hand, Gensokyo is where the more friendly, indigenous gods live. I figured that there are factions even among gods. Eirin is one of them, which is why she isn't interacting with the other humans after she moved to Gensokyo."</ref> more than likely Eirin is supposed to be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omoikane_(Shinto) Yagokoro no Omoikane]. According to the Shinto creation myth, Omoikane is the son of the creator deity Takamimisubi, which makes them older than even Izanagi and Izanami. <br />
*Lunarians living in a pure land have no life span.<br />
*Tsukuyomi (More than likely Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto) seems to be related to Amaterasu Oomikami as siblings.<br />
|-<br />
| Chinese mythology<br />
| [[Chang'e]] (also known by the Japanese pronunciation of Jouga) drank the elixir of immortality and went to the moon.<br /><br />
*The elixir that Chang'e drank was made by Eirin Yagokoro.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] - Chapter 2</ref><br />
*The era of the legend of Chang'e was in the time of 22 centuries BCE (more than 4100 years ago)<br />
*The mochi pounding (medicine pounding) that the [[rabbit]]s pound has gone on for several thousands of years.<br />
|-<br />
| Japanese mythology<br />
| Great Suwa War<br />
*At those times, [[Suwako Moriya]]'s leading edge was iron weapons, but Kanako was able to rust the entire arsenal by holding out a thin vine, and as a result they surrendered.<br />
*Iron was imported into Japan at around 300 CE, however the usage of iron itself (including places outside Japan) has been recorded previously, and so determining the era of this is difficult<br />
*In the "Treatise on Geography" ({{lang|zh|地理志}}) in the [[wikipedia:Book of Han|Book of Han]], it is said that in the later Han dynasty it was divided into a hundred or more countries, and if it is the case that "the expansion of [[wikipedia:Yamato_period#The_Yamato_state|the Yamato State]] = the invasion of Kanako and other Yamato gods," then it would have occurred in the first few centuries CE.<br />
*Furthermore, by research in recent years, as a united country the Yamato State came into existence in the latter half of the third century, and it has been considered that in half of the fourth century, it expanded its territory into the Kōshin'etsu and Tōhoku regions.<br />
*In the genealogy of the Moriya family, the [[wikipedia:ja:洩矢神|Moriya god]] was the first generation, the adoption of [[wikipedia:Mononobe no Moriya|Mononobe no Moriya]]'s child was the 26th generation, and is currently in the 78th generation.<br />
*However, concerning Touhou, Sanae's last name is Kochiya. So there is a discrepancy. <br />
*Basing it on the legend passed down the Moriya family, one can discern the Great Suwa War (the fight between the Moriya god and Takeminakata) to be around 1500-1600 years ago.<br />
|-<br />
|478/07/07<br />
|[[Mizue no Uranoshimako]] goes to the lunar capital.<br /><br />
*In the [[wikipedia:Engishiki|Engishiki]], concerning the Ura Jinja ([[wikipedia:ja:浦嶋神社|Urashima Jinja]]), he went to [[wikipedia:ja:常世の国|Tokoyo no Kuni]] on 478 July 7.<br />

==Before the Windows era==<br />
<div id="PC-98"></div><br />
===PC-98 era===<br />
'''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]''' (created 1995, released November 1996)<br /><br />
'''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]''' (released August 15, 1997)<br /><br />
'''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''' (released December 29, 1997)<br /><br />
'''[[Lotus Land Story]]''' (released August 14, 1998)<br /><br />
'''[[Mystic Square]]''' (released December 30, 1998)<br />
<br />
:These PC-98 games shows the release dates as a possible reference, not what time the actual events take place. The canonicity of the [[PC-98]] games is disputed (see [[Canon]] for details), however many later games in the series take place near their release dates, but certainly not on them.<br />
:Some later works and statements may imply they took place significantly later than their release dates. Cursory pieces of evidence taken together could imply ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'' through ''Mystic Square'' took place from 2001 to 2003.<br />
:*Rinnosuke in [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter_22|''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' Chapter 22]]'s first half believes that [[Marisa Kirisame]] only started using star magic after 2001, while Marisa's strategy guide in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s omake says her third attack uses star magic, although that is just one attack. However, by the time ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'' takes place, many of her attacks use stars.<br />
:*Marisa and Reimu are indirectly referred to as "children" in Chapter 22's first half (2001), and Marisa is noted as a child in ''[[Lotus Land Story]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s manual. Although ZUN has stated he doesn't want to give specific ages to those two, the chronology from this becomes more reasonable if ''Lotus Land Story'' took place much later than 1998.<br />
:*Reimu's profile states that ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', which takes place on 2003/08/12, is chronologically not too far from ''[[Mystic Square]]''. Also Reimu says in a hidden dialogue that "It's been a while since my last job" in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''.<br />
<br />
<div id="Seihou"></div><br />
===Seihou Project===<br />
'''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''' Extra Stage<br />
<br />
:This is most likely non-canon since the ''[[Seihou Project]]'' is set in the far future and is a separate series from Touhou all together with a different creator and writer. This is more than likely just a guest appearance with no regard for canonocity. However if one is to insist on a possible period of time this takes place, be aware the stage does not use the [[spell card]] rules, but would take place after the PC-98 games. If the stage predates the Hakurei spell card rules, a 2003 dating for ''Mystic Square'' would therefore imply a small window in 2003 for this to take place.<br />

==Notes==<br />
*The Bunbunmaru and Kakashi articles are notated in the form e.g. 葉月の五 (Hazuki 5th), as opposed to the standard date form 葉月五日; it is believed that the last number is actually an issue number instead of a day number (e.g. 5th issue of Hazuki rather than 5th day of Hazuki). Supporting this is the fact that the numbers only pass 5 once (120th season, Kannazuki 13th, Mystia's article), which by this hypothesis may be explained by Aya putting out large numbers of extras for the tengu newspaper competition. Moreover, treating the numbers as dates causes a discrepancy between Imperishable Night (Harvest Moon Festival, so 15th day of Hazuki of 119th season) and Sakuya's article (119th season, Hazuki 3rd), which explicitly comes afterward. The timeline is written under this assumption.<br />

I don't really know whether [[wikipedia:Rokurokubi|rokurokubi]] are supposed to stretch their neck<br/><br />

it seems like they can't go back to normal, right?<br />

| note =In Irish mythology, a [[wikipedia:Dullahan|dullahan]] is a headless horse rider that's always seeking its head. The description hangs onto this question on whether or not it will even ''find'' the head. Curiously, Sekibanki is a combination of both types of mythology: she has her head, but she lets it "loose" even though it isn't connected.<br />

It's a full moon in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost|Bamboo Forest]].<br/><br />
At some point, the Bamboo Forest of the Lost became a sacred place<br/><br />

I kept [[Imperishable Night/Music#Stage 4 theme|''that'']] from ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' in mind for this track, too.<br />

It's not quite "eerie", and not quite "bright".<br /><br />
It gives more of a feeling of "mysterious floatiness".<br /><br />
Even though it's a storm, you float around calmly...<br /><br />
It gives a feeling of literally not having your feet on the ground.<br />

ドラムメイン曲にしようかと思ってたのですが、流石に<br /><br />
その勇気は無かったです。ゲームのイメージ的に。<br /><br />
間奏はちょっとだけドラムが主役になります。<br /><br />
ちなみに靴の構造上、足をじたばたさせてバスドラムを<br /><br />
叩くんでしょうね。<br />

<br />
I wanted to make the song feature drums prominently, but<br /><br />
in the end I just didn't have the courage. In terms of the game's image.<br /><br />
The drums play a main part for a short interlude section of the song.<br /><br />
As a side note, her shoes are probably made so she can swing her feet<br /><br />
to hit the bass drum.<br />
| note =*The words "pristine" or "{{lang|ja|始原}} enphasizes a long history of Raiko or of the drum. But the naming of the music seems to be just a pun — the words have very similar meaning to "ancient/very-old", and there is a Japanese word {{nihongo|"ancient"|太古|taiko}}, which shares the same sound with {{nihongo|"drum"|太鼓|taiko}}.<br />

<br />
A different version of the title song.<br /><br />

the title, but a song for the ending.<br /><br />

| en= However, there’s a reason for this complexity. Though it appears that the stars are just floating in the sky, correctly measuring their position is difficult. It’s not something you can measure absolutely, like how the ground you see from far away has mountains and forests giving varying degrees of height. While lines can be drawn between stars, and there are many fundamental stars that don’t move and are simpler to calculate, that is still mere speculation. Their positions are unreachable, and observing stars that exist apart from the fundamental ones has long troubled many astronomers. In order to resolve that problem, the armillary sphere couldn’t have been made without being complicated.<br />

| en= For example, the Milky Way is called the Sake Way, and there the sake of oni flows to Earth. Close to that, the extremely bright Orion’s Belt is called by youkai the Ibuki-douji constellation and indicates the Ibuki-douji’s three powers of harmony, finite, and infinite.<ref>Ibuki-douji literally means "Ibuki child" and is based on songs from Ooeyama, and refers to an oni-child. [[Suika]] is based on the Ibuki-douji, and wears a belt. Her holding chains have three weights of geometrical objects: yellow sphere, red tetrahedron, and blue hexahedron. These three symbols are related to [[Wikipedia:Sengai|Gibon Sengai]]'s Picture "[https://www.wikiart.org/en/sengai/the-universe-the-circle-triangle-and-square Circle, Triangle, Square]" (or Three Dimensions of Somatic Attunement).

They move here and there and can be read as an existence that disrupts the orbits of other youkai.<ref>There is a hypothesis that the original source of tengu is the ancient Taoist idea of shooting star; they saw shooting stars were dogs running in the sky, as you find the spelling of tengu in kanji "{{lang|ja|天狗}}" (lit. celestial dog).</ref><br />

Basically, it is the face of the unmoving lord of night, Fudou Myouou<ref>Also known as Fudouson or Acala, an important figure in Japanese Buddhism and Shugendo.</ref>, an embodiment of Dainichi Nyorai. Though it goes without saying, Dainichi Nyorai<ref>or "Mahavairocana", an important figure in Japanese Buddhism.</ref> is an avatar of the sun that renders youkai powers ineffective. In the night world he is said to become Polaris and consume youkai power in order to prevent their festivals from getting out of hand. It is said that Tenryuu is plotting to eat Acala to control the sky day and night. According to the records, it is prophesied that after a few thousand years Tenryuu will move, and then youkai society will also undergo a great metamorphosis. Though it's said not to happen for thousands of years, youkai foresight is incomparable to humans’, so this may be troubling.<br />

<div>[[File:Silent sinner prologue 06-07 reduced.jpg|thumb|290px|right|[[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] reminisce about characters they've encountered, from the ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Prologue.]]<br />
<br />
The ''[[Touhou Project]]'' features a great number and variety of '''characters'''. Over the course of 30 games, literature, and music CDs, the cast has grown to having over 180 characters. [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] are considered the protagonists of the ''Touhou Project'', due to being the most frequent playable characters in the games. Others characters' roles in the games consist of supporting characters, [[boss]]es, or minor appearances. However, due to a diverging points in the series, some of the characters (namely, the majority of the [[PC-98]] ones) have not been mentioned again. <br />
<br />
==List of Characters==<br />
===Touhou Project===<br />
Here is a list of all ''Touhou Project'' characters, categorised by their first game or publication appearance ''(Characters with * after their name do not have an official name)''. NB, the "generations" (term unofficial) for the games are split according to [http://abload.de/img/bitsummit1z1qn8.jpg this image].<br />

==General Information==<br />
With its focus on [[wikipedia:bishōjo|bishoujo]] characters, the Touhou series possesses a large cast compared to other [[shoot 'em up]] games, maybe even those of [[shooting game]]s, and are notoriously female. Most Touhou characters reside in a fictional landlocked region called [[Gensokyo]], where [[human]]s and [[youkai]] live. The youkai often prey on the humans while the humans try to exterminate them. A character's most common role in a ''[[Touhou Project]]'' game is being a [[boss]], and they have [[/Titles|titles]] and a theme song associated with them. Midbosses, however, tend to not have a unique theme. Many characters also have unique [[/Abilities|abilities]], and almost all [[Windows]] characters have at least one ability named in the fashion of {{nihongo|"capable of ~~"|~~程度の能力}}, showing their strength and power with various capabilities.<br />
<br />
Though each game features a collection of different characters, the main character of the games is always [[Reimu Hakurei]], joined by [[Marisa Kirisame]]. The only games where this is not the case are ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'' and ''[[Double Spoiler]]''; [[Aya Shameimaru]] is playable on both, and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] can become playable in the latter. The same thing applies in ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'', and ''[[Violet Detector]]'' which has [[Cirno]], [[Seija Kijin]], and [[Sumireko Usami]] as the sole playable character in their respective games.<br />
<br />
===PC-98 Games===<br />
[[File:Th03cover.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Cover of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', featuring [[PC-98]] characters that appear in the game.]]<br />
As of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', [[ZUN]] decided to develop games for the [[Windows]] platform and flesh out the universe starting from a clean slate. Besides the [[:Category:Returning PC-98 Characters|Returning characters from the PC-98]], none of the other characters from the PC-98 games have reappeared in the Windows era, although cases such as [[Mima]]'s appearance on the case of ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score vol.4]]'' exist.<br />
<br />
PC-98 characters tend to have a title and music theme, but no ability has being explicitly stated to most characters. They also don't have articles and interviews, or other appearances in print works.<br />
<br />
===Windows Games=== <br />
Another minor pivotal point exists with the release of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', marking the "2nd Windows generation". While previous games had independent storylines, the plots of ''Mountain of Faith'' up to ''[[Ten Desires]]'' were connected (e.g. The events of ''Ten Desires'' were triggered by the construction of the [[Myouren Temple]], which in turn was triggered by the Palanquin ship being released by the geyser by [[Utsuho Reiuji]]'s power.) However, ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'' contains no storyline related to the previous games, so it could mark another minor pivotal point for a possible "3rd Windows generation".<br />
<br />
The character appearances trend also resets. For example, [[Sakuya Izayoi]] was a stage 5 boss in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' who later became playable in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' up to ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'', but has not made an appearance after that in any danmaku Touhou game up until ''[[Double Dealing Character]]''.<br />
<br />
*'''Fighting Games'''<br />
A consistent cast can be seen in the fighting games. Rather than inventing a new set of characters, only one or two new characters were added with the rest coming from previous games. So far, only four characters have first appeared in a fighting game.<br />
<br />
*'''Photography Games & Puzzles'''<br />
In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'', characters from previous games are used. ''Shoot the Bullet'' contains most characters from ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' to ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', while ''Double Spoiler'' adds the cast from ''Mountain of Faith'' up to ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''. ''Impossible Spell Card'' contained a variety of characters, mostly from ''[[Ten Desires]]'' and ''[[Double Dealing Character]]''.<br />
<br />
*'''Literature'''<br />
The cast of Touhou characters also grows with the addition of the novels and comics. Only [[Aya Shameimaru]] and the [[Three Fairies Of Light]] were later featured in a game. Touhou literature is directly connected with the Windows games, as events that happen within the literature are mentioned in the Windows games, and vice versa. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' and ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' and ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'' have in-universe articles and interviews about individual characters, along with ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' having [[spell card]]s related to the characters.<br />
<br />
===Seihou Games===<br />
[[File:Kioh Gyoku.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Cover of ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'', featuring Seihou characters that appear in the game.]]<br />
{{seihou note|section}}<br />
Characters of the ''[[Seihou Project]]'' were created by "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]" and have nothing to do with the ''[[Touhou Project]]'', although they also do have their own theme music. The ''Seihou Project'' however contained characters from the ''Touhou Project'', named [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]] and [[Yuuka Kazami]]. Even in Touhou, references to Seihou characters are extremely rare, with one coming from ''[[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]''.<br />
<br />
It appears that each game contains most characters from the previous. Unlike Touhou characters, Seihou characters are designed to be very Western, which is the opposite of Touhou; even their names are western. They also have more frequent male characters that appear in the [[shoot 'em up]]s. Since Seihou is set in the future, the characters are also designed to have a futuristic feeling with then, along with having their own aircraft. However, unlike Touhou characters, most character don't have any [[/Titles|titles]] or [[/Abilities|abilities]] associated with them and most characters' species are [[human]].<br />
<br />
==Character Designs==<br />
[[File:Th14RaikoIntroduction.png|thumb|right|275px|An example of in-game introduction to a character's name (namely [[Raiko Horikawa]]): top, title; middle, character's name in Japanese; bottom, the romaji of the name in Japanese naming order.]]<br />
===Names===<br />
Generally, almost all names for each character are written in the Japanese script, either in [[wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]], [[wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]] or [[wikipedia:Kanji|kanji]]. Names generally start with [[wikipedia:Japanese name|the surname followed by the first name]], but when they are written in katakana to show a western name, they'll be in western naming order, where they'll have a middle dot ({{lang|ja|・}}) to show where the surname begins. The names may not truly be actual names in real life, as they may contain kanji to represent the character overall, for example {{nihongo||幽々子|Yuyuko}} literally translates to "ghostly child".<br />
<br />
[[ZUN]] has provided [[wikipedia:Romanization of Japanese|romaji]] and [[wikipedia:Kana|kana]] versions for most of the [[Windows]] characters; the latter only included if the name's in kanji. On some rare occurrences, he'd include official English translations of the name. There have been instances in error of romaji however, such as those listed [[/Spelling discrepancies|here]]. Some characters only have one name, notably the [[PC-98]] characters, such as [[Rika]] and [[Shinki]]. There are even those that have no name, such as [[Tokiko]].<br />
<br />
For western languages, such as English or French, names are obviously written in the [[wikipedia:Latin alphabets|Latin script]], called ''[[wikipedia:Romanization|romanization/romanisation]]''. Also, the naming order from Japanese is switched to fit suitably with Westerners, for example {{nihongo|"Saigyouji Yuyuko"|西行寺 幽々子}} becomes "[[Yuyuko Saigyouji]]". Unofficial romaji may be used for convenience; for example, "Byakuren Hiziri" was officially used, but "[[Byakuren Hijiri]]" has not being officially used yet. Choices and alternative spelling can come in many when romanising katakana; one example is [[Maribel Hearn]], who [[ZUN]] doesn't even know the official translation<ref name="ZUN's AWA">[[ZUN's AWA Q&A Panel]]</ref> and has other possible translations such as "Maribel Han" and "Mæriberie Hearn".<br />
<br />
Eastern languages, namely Chinese and Korean, also have some forms of conversions. Chinese conversion from kanji to [[wikipedia:Chinese characters|hanzi]] depends on the variant of the Chinese language whether it accepts the hanzi/kanji or not; they can sometimes keep their original kanji, but must always be transliterated from hiragana or katakana. Names are always transliterated to [[wikipedia:Hangul|hangeul]] within the Korean language. In cases like Yuyuko's name, since the Japanese iteration mark "{{lang|ja|[[wiktionary:々|々]]}}", casually called a {{nihongo||ノマ|noma}}, isn't formally used in the Chinese or Korean language, it's best to re-use the previous hanzi/hangeul (e.g. {{lang|zh|幽幽子}}/{{lang|ko|유유코}}).<br />
<br />
Fans of both of the western and eastern fanbase have given alternative fan-names for the characters based on their characteristics, such as the [[Five Magic Stones]].<br />
<br />
===Designs===<br />
Despite there being many species of [[youkai]], almost all the characters take a [[humanoid]] form, and are notoriously female. Their designs are notoriously colourful and are based around their characteristics, culture and appearance in a game or manga. It's also notorious that almost all characters have some kind of head wear, such as ribbons or non-human attributes, and that they tend to have a skirt. For characters to not have these attributes is somewhat rare, such as [[Yuuka Kazami]] not having a hat and [[Fujiwara no Mokou]] wearing trousers respectively.<br />
<br />
The designs are based on the species a certain character is, such as [[Nitori Kawashiro]] being a [[kappa]] and having a backpack to represent a tortoise's shell, and [[Raiko Horikawa]] having a drum since she is a [[tsukumogami]]. This also relates to animal-based characters, such as [[Chen]] having cat ears, [[Ran Yakumo]] having nine tails due to being a [[Kitsune]] and [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] having a large tail due to being a [[bake-danuki]].<br />
<br />
Some characters however have not even been given an official portrait, such as [[Layla Prismriver]] and [[Youki Konpaku]]. This leads to fans theorising their appearances.<br />
<br />
;Male characters<br />
It's seldom to see [[:Category:Males|male characters]] appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' as they are either not named (Various [[human]]s shown in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''), not [[humanoid]] ([[Genjii]], [[Sokrates]], [[Unzan]]) or do not have official appearances ([[Youki Konpaku]], [[Marisa's unnamed father]], [[Myouren Hijiri]]). However, the one with the most recurring appearances is [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], who is sometimes mocked in the fanbase over this. Another male character with a name and an official appearance is [[Unshou]]. There is also one before all of these, called [[Shingyoku]], but this character has three forms, so this character may not exactly be male.<br />
<br />
However, it has been theorised that [[ZUN]] might've had trouble designing male characters due to the number of female characters – such as statements like "it would be weird to have an old man as the last boss in Touhou" for Myouren been originally the final boss of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' – but later confirmed that he feels that "boys get in the way of the game" and that "boys would just ruin the balance of the series."<ref name="ZUN's AWA" /> He prefers females to fight in the games.<br />
<br />
;PC-98<br />
Amongst the [[PC-98]], only some characters had a full portrait of themselves from head to feet. The PC-98 had a 16-colour limit, where one obvious feature was that most PC-98 characters had the same eye and hair colour; the only characters who have different eye and hair colour are [[Elis]], [[Konngara]] and [[SinGyoku]]'s "male" form. Also, [[ZUN]] has stated that he won't go back to doing 16-colour graphics.<ref name="AUS3comment">[[Akyu's Untouched Score vol.3]]: [[Akyu's Untouched Score vol.3/ZUN's Comments|Comments]]</ref><br />
<br />
;Drawings<br />
[[File:ThGK Interview.png|thumb|right|175px|Some characters that don't appear in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' (with [[ZUN]]) by [[TOKIAME]].]]<br />
[[ZUN]] takes on most of the drawings for the characters that appear in the Touhou games. His distinctive ways of drawing is different compared to other artists. The character portraits used in the fighting spin-off games developed in collaboration with [[Twilight Frontier]], however, have been drawn by [[alphes]] (''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' and ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''), and [[Moe Harukawa]] (''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' and ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''). ZUN had various artists to draw the manga and other official books, such as [[Aki★Eda]] for ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', and several artists in the case of ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''. [[Makoto Hirasaka]] drew the ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'' mangas, but also drew the characters for ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' since the game is based on the manga.<br />

[[File:SSiBAmaterasu.png|thumb|One of the major [[Yaoyorozu no Kami|gods of Shinto]], [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu Oomikami]], appears in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Chapter 16.]]<br />
The term '''god''' refers to concepts such as [[spirit]]s, natural forces and superhuman beings. In Japan's native [[Shinto]] religion, "god" is usually considered equivalent to the term {{nihongo||神|[[wikipedia:kami|kami]]}}. It should be noted, however, that kami include a broader spectrum of beings than those found in [[wikipedia:Monotheism|monotheistic religions]] (e.g. [[Christianity]], Judaism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, etc) or even some [[wikipedia:Polytheism|polytheistic]] ones. Shinto is at its roots an [[wikipedia:Animism|animist]] religion, meaning that any being (alive or dead), object or even phenomenon can be considered a god. Also, it should be noted that the 'G' in "god" should not be capitalized when referring to Shinto gods or any other gods from polytheistic religions.<br />
<br />
Like many polytheistic religions (e.g. those of ancient Greece and Rome), Shinto gods live among humans and have direct impact on their daily lives. While their personalities are mostly similar to humans, they possess two aspects known as {{nihongo|''Ara'' and ''Nigi''|[[wikipedia:ja:荒魂・和魂|荒・和]]}}: when they are worshiped they will protect people and grant them {{nihongo|blessings|ご利益|gorieki}}, but when angry they will create disasters and {{nihongo|curses|[[wikipedia:ja:祟り|祟]]|tatari}}. In some cases the Ara and Nigi aspects of a god are so different in appearance and behaviour that they are named or worshipped separately. A {{nihongo|shrine|神社|jinja}} is a place for gods to occupy in order to interact with humans, which can vary in size from a small box or shelf (found in many homes) to an entire building and grounds.<br />
<br />
==Types of Gods==<br />
===Dragon===<br />
:''Main article: [[Dragon (Species)|Dragon]]''<br />
{{nihongo|'''Dragons'''|竜|ryuu}} are reptilian creatures viewed as gods in some cultures, and monsters in others.<br />
<br />
===Yaoyorozu no Kami===<br />
:''Main article: [[Yaoyorozu no Kami]]''<br />
{{nihongo|'''Yaoyorozu no Kami'''|八百万の神||Lit. "Eight Million Gods"}} is the term in Shinto that is used to refer to gods in general. It also refers to the idea of "believing in Shinto faith".<br />
<br />
While conventionally translated as "Eight Million Gods", it uses the older Japanese meaning of {{nihongo|"eight"|八|hachi, ya}} as "myriad"; i.e. the number of gods is actually uncountably large.<br />
<br />
===Arahitogami===<br />
:''Main article: [[Arahitogami]]''<br />
{{nihongo|'''Arahitogami''' |現人神||"living god"}} are humans who become gods while still alive, thus being both at once.<br />
<br />
===Kahaku===<br />
{{nihongo|'''Kahaku'''|河伯||"river chief"}} are river gods from Chinese folklore. They should not be confused with the [[youkai]] known as the [[kappa]] from Japanese folklore.<br />
<br />
===Yatagarasu===<br />
:''Main article: [[Yatagarasu]]''<br />
{{nihongo|'''Yatagarasu'''|八咫烏||"eight-span crow"}} is a divine three-legged [[crow]] that serves the Shinto sun goddess [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]].<br />
<br />
===Divine Spirits===<br />
:''Main article: [[Divine spirit]]''<br />
{{nihongo|'''Divine spirits'''|神霊|shinrei}} are the spirits of humans who ascended to godhood before or after their death.<br />
<br />
==Gods in Touhou==<br />
The majority of gods in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' are drawn from or based on the Shinto religion. However, the Buddhist god [[Bishamonten]] exists, and [[Okina Matara]] is directly based on the Buddhist God [[wikipedia:en:Matara-jin |Matara-Jin]]. Possibly gods from other religions also exist; [[Seiga Kaku]] has made a dismissive reference to Jesus Christ,<ref>''[[Ten Desires]]'' Youmu route</ref> though his divinity was not confirmed.<br />
<br />
===The Shinto Gods in Touhou===<br />
Shinto Gods in the [[Touhou Project]] are "born" from faith and derive their power from it. Note that being "born" can also refer to ascension to godhood, such as the case of [[Mizue no Uranoshimako]], a human who became a god after his death. As they are born from human belief they share some similarities to youkai, and some youkai have argued that the two are practically the same. However, they have many differences, and for the most part can be considered two different "species".<ref>''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Chapter 17. "You can't fight gods and youkai the same way."</ref> Unlike youkai, gods are not generally born from fear; thus they do not do things like attacking humans by default, but instead seek out faith, typically in the form of worship.<br />
<br />
Faith from either humans or youkai is valid, and is described by Kanako in Reimu's ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' A ending as a reverence towards existence, a fear of retribution for one's actions, and the will to enrich one's life, spirit, and body, but it doesn't really have to be that serious. Worship and faith can be as simple as just celebrating with your god.<ref>''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' Kanako's profile. "Actually, to play together was what gods wished for." "This was exactly the kind of faith Kanako was wishing for."; Reimu A ending. "There's no difference between faith and the ability to share a nice drink together like this.</ref><br />
<br />
Shinto gods may split their spirits and manifest where ever called on, enabling them to be in many places at once to serve their worshippers; this doesn't diminish the power of the god in any way, as each split part of the same god would have the same amount of power as the original.<ref>''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', chapter 6</ref> Certain individuals, such as [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] and shrine maidens like [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Sanae Kochiya]] can directly call upon the gods to enter their bodies. Most gods interact with the physical world entirely in this manner. Some gods have physical bodies which allow them to act independently without being called upon, such as Kanako and Suwako (and likely [[Hina Kagiyama]], [[Minoriko Aki]], and [[Shizuha Aki]]), but this does not prevent them from splitting their spirit or being invoked in the normal ways.<br />
<br />
The Shinto gods are well-acknowledged in Gensokyo and by the denizens of the [[Lunar Capital]] (according to Kanako, many of whom have actually been the original gods from relevant mythology, such as [[Sagume Kishin]], as well as [[Lord Tsukuyomi]] and his sister). However, in the [[outside world]], faith has instead been placed on various things such as friendship and news.<ref>''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' Reimu B Ending. In the outside world, people's faith in gods was weakened by the appearance of bad cults and religions.<br />
However, all gods benefit from all faith in them.<br />
Even though faith and entreatment are different things.<br />
Humans, in their independence, lost the need for faith.<br />
Actually, that's not true.<br />
Even now, they have faith deep within their hearts.<br />
People believe in the news, brands, companies, and friends.<br />
The object of their faith has merely shifted closer.<br />
If you're a god who wishes to regain faith from humans...<br />
try setting your pride aside and being friendly with them.</ref> Thus, like youkai, it is difficult for some gods such as [[Kanako Yasaka]] and [[Suwako Moriya]] to survive in the outside world as their faith dies out. Presumably more well-known Shinto gods such as Amaterasu still have plenty of faith to go around in the outside world, as there is nothing to indicate their existence is under threat any time soon; in particular, the god Ame-no-Torifune even [[TORIFUNE|had a space station dedicated to him]].<br />
<br />
Of note is that loss of faith for a god means a loss of their ability to manifest their power. For a god, losing all their power is equivalent to death<ref>''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s profile. "When people lose faith in gods, the gods lose their power. They can't manifest their divine virtues. This is the same as death, for a god.</ref> (with the exception of [[arahitogami]], who would continue to exist as normal humans).<br />
<br />
===The Buddhist Gods in Touhou===<br />
Much like how in real life Buddhist and Shinto gods were de facto seen as part of a single system due to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honji_suijaku honji suijaku] dogma, the Buddhist gods in Touhou don't seem to function differently from their Shinto peers. <br />
<br />
[[Bishamonten]], being extremely busy, uses [[Shou Toramaru]] as an avatar ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gongen gongen]) for the temples that Shou works or worked in ([[Byakuren Hijiri]]'s previous temple and her current [[Myouren Temple]]).<br />
<br />
[[Okina Matara]] is based on {{nihongo|[http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/monkey-koushin-p3.html#shinraMYOUJIN Matara-jin]|摩多羅神}}, a god historically venerated mostly by the [[wikipedia:Tendai|Tendai Buddhism]] sect. However, like many other medieval Japanese gods, Matara-jin was neither purely Buddhist nor purely Shinto, and arose from of syncretic traditions combining elements from many religions<ref>https://www.persee.fr/doc/asie_0766-1177_2006_num_16_1_1258</ref>.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hina Kagiyama'''|鍵山 雛|Kagiyama Hina}} is a misfortune [[god]] and the leader of the Nagashi-bina doll army. Her job is to gather the misfortune of [[human]]s, as well as scare off lost [[human]]s who get too near to the [[Youkai Mountain]] at [[the Great Youkai Forest]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Hina first appeared as the Stage 2 boss in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', but had no relation to the story of the game. She was later a target on stage 2 of ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and was in the background of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''.<br />
<br />
Hina is a misfortune god, but as they don't collect faith or have any shrines dedicated to them, they are more gods in name rather than nature.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Hina's personality is unclear, but according to those who have come in contact with her, she appears to be friendly and sociable.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Stockpiling misfortune<br />
Hina possesses the ability to store and manage misfortune inside herself. By people's exorcism, she collects misfortune, and is able to stockpile it in her surroundings. Misfortune in her surroundings possesses power to give any kind of human or [[youkai]] misfortune, which causes misfortune to [[human]]s and [[youkai]] that come near her. However, this does not mean she stockpiles the misfortune in herself, and since it is always in the "surroundings" that she stockpiles the misfortune, she definitely does not become misfortune herself.<br />
<br />
The misfortune that she takes up from [[human]]s is given over to other [[god]]s. She holds no ill will towards humans, however, and amasses misfortune merely as a way of preventing it from befalling others. The negative energy of misfortune is what gives Hina her power. As one that stores the misfortune, it can be said that from a certain point of view, she also possesses good fortune.<br />
<br />
In order to amass this misfortune, she collects the Nagashi-bina dolls in which humans use to put their own misfortune and float downstream. Perhaps as a performance of her stockpiling of misfortune in [[danmaku]], her spinning may be a reference to her ability to store up curses. This is because the kanji for {{nihongo|"curse"|厄|yaku}} looks somewhat like a swirl, just like the one on her dress. It can be seen that something like misfortune flies in Hina's surroundings, developing into danmaku as a spiral. It seems like she throws them as bullets in the form of amulets. Additionally, a purple-blue-ish fog can be seen swarming around her when she casts a [[spell card]].<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
In addition to scaring off humans from the [[Youkai Mountain]] and amassing misfortune, she has apparently begun selling the Nagashi-bina dolls that she collects as a form of recycling. However, as it is generally a taboo to pay any attention to a misfortune god, her stand is probably ignored.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
[[File:ThGKHina.png|thumb|right|200px|Hina, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''.]]<br />
Hina is a {{nihongo|misfortune goddess|厄神|yakujin}}. By utilizing the Japanese ritual {{nihongo||流し雛|[[Wikipedia:ja:流し雛|nagashi-bina]]}} – a custom which people transfer their {{nihongo|[[impurity]]|穢れ|kegare}} and {{nihongo|misfortune|厄|yaku}} on to a {{nihongo|hina doll|雛人形|hina ningyou}} and then putting it into a river to be carried away – she collects the misfortune by gathering the hina dolls at the downstream.<ref>''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'': [[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Hina Kagiyama|Hina Kagiyama's article]].</ref><br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her name is {{nihongo||鍵山雛|Hina Kagiyama}}. The characters for {{nihongo||鍵山|Kagiyama}} literally mean "key mountain". {{nihongo||雛|Hina}} usually means "(bird) chick", but in her case, it's highly likely that it came from the event of {{nihongo||流し'''雛'''|nagashi-bina}}.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'''s official art, Hina has aquamarine hair and eyes. Her hair is decorated with red bows and white frills. Part of her hair is tied under her chin with a bow as a sort front ponytail. She wears a red dress which is darker around her middle and lighter on the bottom. The dress also has white frills on the bottom and an enormous white kerchief on top. The bottom of her dress is decorated with a similar aquamarine swirl resembling the "{{lang|ja|厄}}" (misfortune) kanji at the bottom. As footwear she has knee-length black cross-laced boots similar to [[Alice Margatroid]]'s.<br />
<br />
At the fight Hina is spinning during all her [[spell card]] attacks. And apparently it is her speciality, as explained in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''. This is also seen in ''[[Double Spoiler]]''.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
[[File:Th10HinaSprite.png|frame|Hina's sprite in ''MoF'']]<br />
Depending on who you choose as a playable character, Hina will either face [[Reimu Hakurei]] or [[Marisa Kirisame]] in the stage 2 fight of ''Mountain of Faith'' at [[Youkai Mountain#The Great Youkai Forest|the Great Youkai Forest]] near a river.<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu Arc}}<br />
Hina tries to chase Reimu away during the midboss fight, as she explains that it's her job to chase away lost humans. But Reimu claims she isn't lost and just want to go to the [[Youkai Mountain]] and then starts to fight as she thinks Hina is a [[youkai]]. Hina once again tries to stop Reimu, but fails.<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Marisa's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa Arc}}<br />
Marisa says it takes so long to enter the mountain that she could "recite all the digits of pi" before she gets there. Hina then enters and is wondering what Marisa is talking about. Hina does not want Marisa, or any other human, to enter the mountain as it could be dangerous. Hina is trying to protect them from the mountain, but Marisa wants to enter the mountain anyway and starts fighting with Hina.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Hina appeared as a [[stage]] 2 target, where she uses a few [[spell card]]s and had [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] take photos of her and her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Hina.png|frame|Hina in ''HM'']]<br />
Hina made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Genbu Ravine]] and [[Youkai Tanuki Forest]] stage. She is seen standing waving her hand.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*An alternate color palette of [[Patchouli Knowledge]] in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' resembles Hina.<br />
**The same goes for one of the color palettes of [[Suwako Moriya]].<br />
*Hina got a small reference in [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s part of the ''[[Ten Desires]]'' [[Ten Desires/Story/Prologue|prologue]]. <ref>[[Ten Desires]]: [[Ten Desires/Story/Prologue|Prologue]] - "''For example, prayers for a great harvest, or protection from misfortune...''"</ref><br />
*An interesting fact to note is that her title is "Nagashi-bina of the Hidden God", and [[Okina Matara]] is a hidden/secret God.<br />

<div>The term {{nihongo|'''shrine maiden'''|巫女|miko}}, also called a '''shaman''', refers specifically to altar girls of the [[Shinto]] religion. They live and work in a [[wikipedia:Shinto shrine|Shinto shrine]]. Shrine maidens are generally virgins and take various rites of purity and chastity, and undergo various forms of physical and mental training. They also practice sealing and purification rituals, which are highly form-based and symbolic, and are used to bless, purify, or exorcise [[vengeful spirit]]s.<br />
<br />
A shrine maiden's iconic ritual implement is a wand with [[wikipedia:Shide (Shinto)|elaborately folded paper]] on the end, known as a ''[[wikipedia:Gohei|Gohei]]''. Reimu's gohei is called the ''purification rod'' ({{lang|ja|御祓い棒}}). Other common tools are small, rectangular paper amulets called ''[[wikipedia:O-fuda|o-fuda]]'', on which the names of gods are calligraphically inscribed.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Mononobe no Futo'''|物部 布都}} is a [[shikaisen]], formerly a hermit practicing [[Taoism]]. She possesses the ability to manipulate [[wikipedia:Feng shui|feng shui]], and originates from the Asuka era.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Futo first stands against the player in stage 5 of ''[[Ten Desires]]'', as well as being a support partner for the stage 6 boss. She later became a playable character in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', was a 9th Day Boss in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' and appeared in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'', again as a playable character.<br />
<br />
She is generally thought to be a [[shikaisen]], meaning that she was once a hermit who attempted to surpass the physical lifespan of a human by taking on the qualities of the dead. She essentially abandoned her body and transferred her soul into an object (said to be a plate). As a shikaisen, she is able to take on a great number of forms, but she prefers the traditional look she had when she was alive, as opposed to [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s decision to go with a more modern form.<br />
<br />
In her official profile, [[ZUN]] lists her as a "Taoist self-identifying as a shikaisen", but it can be inferred from her backstory as well as her article in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' that she is a bona-fide shikaisen.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Futo is described as being gentle at heart, but unable to adapt to modern times along with modern [[Gensokyo]] in general. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] points out in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' that because of it, she has an extremely "hermit-like" personality. Even in ancient times, she clung to [[Taoism]] rather than [[Buddhism]], indicating a dislike of change and a favoring of old ways. She is friendly towards [[human]]s, even going so far as to save them on occasion, but hostile towards [[youkai]] for some reason. [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] describes her as being a scaredy-cat, though her "fear" of Buddhist statues led to her burning them (and temples) down to the ground (as the head of the Mononobe clan).<br />
<br />
In speech, she speaks with in an archaic Japanese language. In first person, she uses {{nihongo||我|wa|archaic for "I"}} and in second person, {{nihongo||おぬし|onushi|archaic for "you"}}. In her speech and conduct, she attaches {{nihongo||ぞ|zo}} to the end of her sentences for emphasis, which is a little old-fashioned. Based on this, it would be no problem to think that she was probably born a long time ago and that she has a certain aura of nobility, never saying anything wild or off-beat.<br />
<br />
She says things which indicate that she might have a tendency to misunderstand others a little, for example she automatically thought that the heroine of ''[[Ten Desires]]'' had come to her for a blessing in order to recover. Thus she is a manifestation of the "idiot child", this may relate to how well she takes her defeat in general, sometimes praising the heroine. After battles, she always makes the excuse that she has not shown her true strength.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Manipulating [[wikipedia:Feng Shui|feng shui]]<br />
Futo is apparently able to manipulate feng shui. This ability is mentioned in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', where it is said that it's a power Futo aquired before studying [[Taoism]] and that due to the similarities in terms of worshipping nature, it's something almost identical to [[Shinto]]. Feng shui is the flow of [[wikipedia:Qi|qi]], particularly the flow of qi according to the environment. To manipulate feng shui is to apply some treatment to the surrounding environment and artificially change the flow of qi and it is something that manipulates fate and fortune. Although it has a high effect on fixed things like towns and houses, its effect is thin on things that busily move, like people and animals.<br />
<br />
In terms of practical applications, Futo seems able to manipulate dragon veins to change the nearby ground,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Standing Mountain''''' skill</ref> controlling fire,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Liuren Holy Fire''''' skill, '''''Blaze Sign "Taiyi True Fire"''''' '''''Inferno Reformation''''' Spell Cards</ref> wind,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Combination Wind''''' and '''''Wind's Ominous Hole''''' skills '''''Wind Sign "Miwa Plate Storm"''''' Spell Card</ref> and water,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Water-Embracing Plates'''''</ref> and even lowering the amount of fortune in a determinated area.<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Fate "Gate Opening for Catastrophe"'''''</ref><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Futo currently serves [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] and resides in the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] while practicing [[Taoism]].<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
A plate is mentioned as the object Futo used to transfer her soul into in order to become a [[shikaisen]] and she seems to carry several plates in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. In addition, she is seen riding a boat during some of her spell cards in ''[[Ten Desires]]'', ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Futo originated in the Mononobe clan, widely known to be a Shinto-worshipping clan. However, she was actually a worshipper of Taoism. She decided to practice her Taoism in secret, as it lacked political power due to the fact that anyone can undergo the training required to become a hermit. [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] eventually approached her and proposed a plan: Miko would pacify the nation under [[Buddhism]], but she and Futo would die and be reborn as shikaisen. Futo agreed, and managed to ally herself with the Soga clan to get them to follow Buddhism blindly.<br />
<br />
After the Mononobe clan caught wind of this, a religious war ensued between them and the Soga clan. The Mononobe clan was eventually defeated after numerous harsh battles that left many Buddhist temples and artifacts destroyed; and thus the nation was united under Buddhism.<br />
<br />
Once the battles ended, Futo finally attempted the process of becoming a shikaisen by "dying". Miko soon followed suit and they both ended up in [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:ThGKFuto.png|thumb|right|150px|Futo, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
The [[wikipedia:Mononobe clan|Mononobe clan]] was a family who waged a fierce political battle with the [[Wikipedia:Soga clan|Soga clan]] over Buddhism. In particular, [[Wikipedia:Soga no Umako|Soga no Umako]] and [[wikipedia:Mononobe no Moriya|Mononobe no Moriya]] were two very influential courtiers to [[Wikipedia:Emperor Bidatsu|Emperor Bidatsu]] and his brother, [[Wikipedia:Emperor Yōmei|Emperor Youmei]], who was the father of [[Wikipedia:Prince Shōtoku|Prince Shoutoku]]. Both Youmei and Shoutoku were proponents of Buddhism, which led to victory for Umako, whose forces killed Moriya and his allies in the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Shigisan|Battle of Shigisan]] in 587.<br />
<br />
Of the Mononobe, there existed {{nihongo|Futsuhime|布都姫}}, who was the little sister of Mononobe no Moriya. In the [[Wikipedia:Nihon Shoki|Nihon Shoki]], she was Soga no Umako's wife, although her name was never mentioned there. But according to the book, Umako "gratuitously killed Moriya by carrying out his wife's plot". So, according to this account, Futsuhime was a collaborator to Soga clan and a traitor to the Mononobe, despite her lineage. Furthermore, Umako and his wife are thought to have given birth to Tojiko no Iratsume. Other historical documents tell different accounts. For example, in the [[Wikipedia:Kujiki|Sendai Kuji Hongi]], she was married to [[Wikipedia:Emperor Sushun|Emperor Sushun]] and later to Mononobe no Nieko no Muraji, who was Mononobe no Moriya's little brother and Futsuhime's half brother.<br />
<br />
While it's fairly clear that Futo draws inspirations as far as her actions go from Futsuhime, according to ZUN from an interview, [[Febri/Ten_Desires_and_Touhou_Project_interview_with_ZUN_Part1|"Though their names are similar they are different people"]].<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Mononobe no Futo''|物部 布都}}. She takes the name {{nihongo|''Mononobe''|物部}} as a member of the Mononobe clan. Her given name, {{nihongo|''Futo''|布都|lit. "cloth city/capital/metropolis"}}, is derived from the name {{nihongo|''Futsuhime''|布都姫}}, whom her name was based off on.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Ten Desires]]'''s official art, Mononobe no Futo has grey eyes, grey hair and is dressed in a uniform which resembles Heian Era clothing such as a {{nihongo|''kariginu''|狩衣||lit. "hunting dress"}} or a {{nihongo|''suikan''|水干||lit. "dried with water"}}, modified with the addition of a purple skirt, with an {{nihongo|''eboshi''|烏帽子}} atop her head. Kariginu or suikan were worn for everyday clothes by the male {{nihongo|''Kuge''|公家|"people of the Imperial Court"}} in the Heian Era. The ribbons wrapped around various parts of her outfit (i.e. her neck, shoes, hat, and sleeves) all correspond to the five colors of Feng Shui. <ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo|Who's Who of Humans and Youkai in Gensokyo]] - [[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Mononobe no Futo and Soga no Tojiko|Mononobe no Futo and Soga no Tojiko]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''[[Ten Desires]]''<br />
[[File:Th13FutoSprite.png|frame|Futo's sprite in ''TD'']]<br />
When the heroine reaches the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] in stage 5, Futo appears to them, having been reborn as a shikaisen. She challenges the heroine, thinking that she is the final trial to be overcome in her resurrection. After she is defeated, however, she realizes that the spirits of desire are actually flooding into the mausoleum in anticipation of [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s resurrection rather than her own.<br />
<br />
;''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''<br />
Futo initially approaches the [[Hakurei Shrine]] after Miko defeated [[Reimu Hakurei]] in combat, and she wants an explanation. However, Reimu has shut herself in, and Futo ends up battling [[Marisa Kirisame]] first. After emerging victorious, she approaches [[Koishi Komeiji]] for the same reason. She then travels to the [[Myouren Temple]], where she reveals her goal to [[Ichirin Kumoi]] - that their respective religions unite for the common good of the suffering people. Ichirin insists that [[Byakuren Hijiri]] has it under control, and that they need no help from the likes of a taoist. After Futo defeats her, she is impressed and invites her to convert; Ichirin refuses, prompting Futo to mention the fact that she drinks alcohol.<br />
<br />
Futo then wanders to the [[Youkai Mountain]], having realized that Miko already resolved the incident. There, she runs into [[Nitori Kawashiro]], who is taking down her stall. Futo inquires as to the details of Nitori's battle with Miko, but Nitori couldn't care less about the religious war. This prompts her to attempt to convert Nitori, but after she defeats the [[kappa]], Nitori decides that if she were to become a religious believer, she'd probably go to Shinto rather than Taoism, much to Futo's dismay. As Futo returns to the [[Human Village]], she encounters Miko herself, and they engage in battle. However, it was actually [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] in disguise, and after Futo loses all her popularity in the process of defeating her, she battles Mamizou in her true form. After defeating her again, Mamizou explains that she was only looking out for the humans, and that someone is behind all this.<br />
<br />
Futo encounters [[Hata no Kokoro]] that night, who is trying to figure out what to do with her time until Miko creates a new Mask of Hope for her. Unfortunately, the two end up fighting each other. After defeating her, Futo returns to the Mausoleum, where Miko explains that she's making a new mask. Futo is doubtful.<br />
<br />
;''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''<br />
:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}<br />
After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], she becomes one of the many strong [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]]. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
<br />
;''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''<br />
{{stub|section}}<br />
Futo decides to gather the Occult Balls as her [[Toyosatomimi no Miko|master]] does, but leaving the strong people to Miko. After encountering [[Ichirin Kumoi]] and [[Reimu Hakurei]], Futo defeats [[Fujiwara no Mokou]] and obtains six of the balls. She bumps into [[Byakuren Hijiri]], who claims wanting to prove that the ongoing rumors about the balls are just lies.<br />
<br />
;''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Futo, alongside [[Ichirin Kumoi]], assists [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] and [[Byakuren Hijiri]] in their investigation of Perfect Posession. Unlike most tag teams, Futo takes turns with Ichirin at being the master of the posession. After a couple of fights, Futo gets tired and nods off while Ichirin is posessing her, and as a result the two share the same dream in the [[Dream World]].<br />
<br />
At sundown when they return to the [[Myouren Temple]], they challenge their leaders for a chance to take over the investigation and vanquish the culprits of the incident themselves.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Toyosatomimi no Miko===<br />
Futo has been [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s faithful servant since before the religious war between Shinto and Buddhism. After they died to become shikaisen together and reappeared in [[Gensokyo]], they remain together. ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' says that they usually act in unison.<br />
<br />
===Soga no Tojiko===<br />
Their official profiles state that Futo and [[Soga no Tojiko]] get along with each other for the most part, despite their origins as enemies in the religious war. They seem to be united under the fact that they both hate Buddhism. However, in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', it's revealed that the reason Soga is a ghost is because Futo tricked her when they became shikaisen, having held a grudge against her during the religious wars. Soga, however, does not seem to have a problem with being a ghost, so it's possible they are still on good terms.<br />
<br />
===Other Characters===<br />
;[[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Sanae Kochiya]] & [[Youmu Konpaku]]<br />
Due to her automatically misunderstanding others, she quickly came to conclusions the first time she met Reimu, Marisa, Sanae and Youmu. For instance: with Reimu, she thought that she has come to be an experimental subject for complete recovery; with Sanae, she thinks Sanae has come to deliver her to [[heaven]]; and with Youmu, she thought she was a [[shikaisen]] (dead nirvana [[hermit]]), and therefore continues to think Youmu is a hermit even after the battle.<br />

<br />
<br />
ちょっと昔のお話。今から千数百年ほど前だろうか。<br/><br />
まだ国が人を統治するという考え方が纏まりきる前の話。人、物、技術、宗教など様々な物が海を渡って渡来してきた。<br/><br />
その中の一つ、仏教がこの国の行方を大きく変えていく事になる。<br />
<br />
国は仏教を巡り崇拝派と廃仏派に別れ、お互いの溝を深めていく。神道の神様であるウマシマジノミコトを祖とする物部氏は廃仏派であった。人間を祖とする蘇我氏との対立は凄まじく、この宗教戦争は後に語られるようなただの権力争いではなく、神々の系譜と人間の尊厳との争いだったのである。<br />
<br />
そして仏教を巡る宗教戦争は悲劇で幕を閉じる。<br />
<br />
争いは日増しに過激になり、物部氏は寺を襲撃し寺を焼き仏像を捨て廃仏を訴えた。しかしタイミングが悪かったのか、その日から疫病が流行し始め、天皇が崩御してしまう。<br />
<br />
これを蘇我氏は仏教に大して非道なことをした祟りだと喧伝した。それにより蘇我氏の支持が高まり、ついに物部討伐の許可が下りるのである。<br />
<br />
その争いで物部は滅亡する事になった。そしてこの国の政治は仏教を中心に行われていくことになる。<br/><br />
これが表に知られている物部、蘇我の宗教戦争である。<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、実はこれを裏で糸を引く者がいた。それが布都であった。<br/><br />
彼女は物部の姓ながら、影である宗教を崇拝していた。それが仏教と同時に伝わってきた道教である。<br/><br />
道教は自らを超人化する事が出来、その最終目的は不老不死である。権力者にとっては非常に魅力的な宗教であった。<br />
<br />
だが、この魅力的な宗教も欠点があった。それは民が誰でも修行すれば仙人になれるのでは、政治には向かないと言う事。その為、彼女は道教の事はひた隠しする事になる。<br />
<br />
そして同じく道教を崇拝していた神子から、ある提案を持ちかけられる。<br/><br />
それが、表向きは民を静かにさせる事の出来る仏教を崇拝しこの国を治める。その上で自分の死に呪いをかけ、我らは尸解仙として復活しよう、という話であった。<br />
<br />
布都は蘇我氏の味方となり、裏から操る事が出来た。それにより蘇我氏は仏教を盲信するようになった。当然、神の子孫である物部(布都を除く)はそれを面白く思わなかった。<br />
<br />
<br />
その結果、引き起こされたのが仏教を巡る宗教戦争である。実際は、物部という日本古来の神々と、道教を使い新たな神になろうとする神子との争いであった。仏教はその為の目眩ましでしかなかったのだ。<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、二人の復活まで随分と時間が掛かってしまったようだ。<br/><br />
それは神子の死を不審がった仏教の僧侶達が、その上にお寺を建て復活を拒んでいたからであろう。<br />
<br />
政治のために利用した仏教であったが、思った以上に信仰力が強く、現代日本まで広く信仰され続けられたのは誤算であったようだ。<br />

'''Mononobe no Futo'''<br />
<br />
Species: Human? (a taoist who self-identifies as a shikaisen)<br/><br />
Ability: Manipulating [[wikipedia:Feng shui|feng shui]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Long ago, indeed, fourteen hundred years ago or so.<br/><br />
Before, in fact, it had been decided that the country would rule over the people. People, things, technology, religion... Many things were being introduced from across the sea.<br/><br />
One of those would greatly influence the direction Buddhism would take in this country.<br />
<br />
The country was divided into pro- and anti-Buddhist factions, which dug in more over time. The Mononobe, the ones who had Umashimaji no Mikoto - a god in Shinto - as its ancestor, was in the anti-Buddhist faction. Her confrontation with the Soga, the ones who had a human<ref>Academically, the ancestor is thought to be {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Takenouchi no Sukune|Takenouchi no Sukune]]|武内宿禰}}.</ref> as its ancestor, was dreadful, and afterwards this religious conflict wasn't talked of as a petty political battle, but as a battle between the lineage of the gods and human dignity.<br />
<br />
And so, religious war over Buddhism ended in tragedy.<br />
<br />
The battles grew more vicious with each passing day as the Mononobe waged an anti-Buddhist campaign that invaded and burned temples and threw out their statues. Perhaps it was simply bad timing, but after that day, an epidemic began to spread, resulting in the passing of the Emperor.<br />
<br />
The Soga proclaimed this to be a curse brought on by despicable acts against Buddhism. This rallied support in Soga's favor, who was eventually given permission to bring the Mononobe into submission.<br />
<br />
This battle resulted in the destruction of the Mononobe. From then on, the nation's politics were carried out in a fashion befitting Buddhism.<br/><br />
This is what most people know about the religious war between the Mononobe and the Soga.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, there was someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes: Futo.<br/><br />
A daughter of the Mononobe, she worshipped at the altar of another faith.<br /><br />
That faith was Taoism, which had been introduced at the same time as Buddhism. Taoism could grant people superhuman abilities based on their own actions, eventually resulting in immortality. It was particularly appealing to those with political power.<br />
<br />
However, that appealing faith also had a weakness. It was not well suited for political control, as anyone could undergo the ascetic training necessary to become a hermit. As a result, she decided to practice her Taoism in secret.<br />
<br />
Miko, a fellow Taoist practitioner, came to her with a certain plan.<br /><br />
Her plan was to govern the country using Buddhism as a means to keep the citizenry pacified. Then, they would cast a curse on their own deaths and be reborn as shikaisen.<br />
<br />
Futo became an ally of the Soga and was able to manipulate them. Thus, the Soga came to be blind followers of Buddhism.<br /><br />
Naturally, as descendents of the gods, the Mononobe (excepted Futo) weren't particularly pleased about this.<br />
<br />
<br />
The result was a protracted religious war over Buddhism. It was, in fact, a war between ancient gods of Japan in name of the Mononobe and Miko, who wished to become a new god through Taoism. Thus Buddhism was only a deception for their plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, it seemed it would take a long time for their resurrection to take place.<br/><br />
That was probably because a group of Buddhist monks doubted that Miko had actually died, and constructed a large temple above her grave to prevent her from resurrecting.<br />
<br />
Buddhism had been used for political ends, but it had apparently been a miscalculation to allow it to become so widely followed that even in modern Japan it continues to be widely observed.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Mononobe no Futo'''|物部 布都}} is a [[shikaisen]], formerly a hermit practicing [[Taoism]]. She possesses the ability to manipulate [[wikipedia:Feng shui|feng shui]], and originates from the Asuka era.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Futo first stands against the player in stage 5 of ''[[Ten Desires]]'', as well as being a support partner for the stage 6 boss. She later became a playable character in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', was a 9th Day Boss in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' and appeared in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'', again as a playable character.<br />
<br />
She is generally thought to be a [[shikaisen]], meaning that she was once a hermit who attempted to surpass the physical lifespan of a human by taking on the qualities of the dead. She essentially abandoned her body and transferred her soul into an object (said to be a plate). As a shikaisen, she is able to take on a great number of forms, but she prefers the traditional look she had when she was alive, as opposed to [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s decision to go with a more modern form.<br />
<br />
In her official profile, [[ZUN]] lists her as a "Taoist self-identifying as a shikaisen", but it can be inferred from her backstory as well as her article in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' that she is a bona-fide shikaisen.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Futo is described as being gentle at heart, but unable to adapt to modern times along with modern [[Gensokyo]] in general. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] points out in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' that because of it, she has an extremely "hermit-like" personality. Even in ancient times, she clung to [[Taoism]] rather than [[Buddhism]], indicating a dislike of change and a favoring of old ways. She is friendly towards [[human]]s, even going so far as to save them on occasion, but hostile towards [[youkai]] for some reason. [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] describes her as being a scaredy-cat, though her "fear" of Buddhist statues led to her burning them (and temples) down to the ground (as the head of the Mononobe clan).<br />
<br />
In speech, she speaks with in an archaic Japanese language. In first person, she uses {{nihongo||我|wa|archaic for "I"}} and in second person, {{nihongo||おぬし|onushi|archaic for "you"}}. In her speech and conduct, she attaches {{nihongo||ぞ|zo}} to the end of her sentences for emphasis, which is a little old-fashioned. Based on this, it would be no problem to think that she was probably born a long time ago and that she has a certain aura of nobility, never saying anything wild or off-beat.<br />
<br />
She says things which indicate that she might have a tendency to misunderstand others a little, for example she automatically thought that the heroine of ''[[Ten Desires]]'' had come to her for a blessing in order to recover. Thus she is a manifestation of the "idiot child", this may relate to how well she takes her defeat in general, sometimes praising the heroine. After battles, she always makes the excuse that she has not shown her true strength.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Manipulating [[wikipedia:Feng Shui|feng shui]]<br />
Futo is apparently able to manipulate feng shui. This ability is mentioned in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', where it is said that it's a power Futo aquired before studying [[Taoism]] and that due to the similarities in terms of worshipping nature, it's something almost identical to [[Shinto]]. Feng shui is the flow of [[wikipedia:Qi|qi]], particularly the flow of qi according to the environment. To manipulate feng shui is to apply some treatment to the surrounding environment and artificially change the flow of qi and it is something that manipulates fate and fortune. Although it has a high effect on fixed things like towns and houses, its effect is thin on things that busily move, like people and animals.<br />
<br />
In terms of practical applications, Futo seems able to manipulate dragon veins to change the nearby ground,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Standing Mountain''''' skill</ref> controlling fire,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Liuren Holy Fire''''' skill, '''''Blaze Sign "Taiyi True Fire"''''' '''''Inferno Reformation''''' Spell Cards</ref> wind,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Combination Wind''''' and '''''Wind's Ominous Hole''''' skills '''''Wind Sign "Miwa Plate Storm"''''' Spell Card</ref> and water,<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Water-Embracing Plates'''''</ref> and even lowering the amount of fortune in a determinated area.<ref>[[Hopeless Masquerade/Spell Cards/Mononobe no Futo|Hopeless Masquerade - Mononobe no Futo's Spell Cards]]: '''''Fate "Gate Opening for Catastrophe"'''''</ref><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Futo currently serves [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] and resides in the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] while practicing [[Taoism]].<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
A plate is mentioned as the object Futo used to transfer her soul into in order to become a [[shikaisen]] and she seems to carry several plates in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. In addition, she is seen riding a boat during some of her spell cards in ''[[Ten Desires]]'', ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Futo originated in the Mononobe clan, widely known to be a Shinto-worshipping clan. However, she was actually a worshipper of Taoism. She decided to practice her Taoism in secret, as it lacked political power due to the fact that anyone can undergo the training required to become a hermit. [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] eventually approached her and proposed a plan: Miko would pacify the nation under [[Buddhism]], but she and Futo would die and be reborn as shikaisen. Futo agreed, and managed to ally herself with the Soga clan to get them to follow Buddhism blindly.<br />
<br />
After the Mononobe clan caught wind of this, a religious war ensued between them and the Soga clan. The Mononobe clan was eventually defeated after numerous harsh battles that left many Buddhist temples and artifacts destroyed; and thus the nation was united under Buddhism.<br />
<br />
Once the battles ended, Futo finally attempted the process of becoming a shikaisen by "dying". Miko soon followed suit and they both ended up in [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:ThGKFuto.png|thumb|right|150px|Futo, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
The [[wikipedia:Mononobe clan|Mononobe clan]] was a family who waged a fierce political battle with the [[Wikipedia:Soga clan|Soga clan]] over Buddhism. In particular, [[Wikipedia:Soga no Umako|Soga no Umako]] and [[wikipedia:Mononobe no Moriya|Mononobe no Moriya]] were two very influential courtiers to [[Wikipedia:Emperor Bidatsu|Emperor Bidatsu]] and his brother, [[Wikipedia:Emperor Yōmei|Emperor Youmei]], who was the father of [[Wikipedia:Prince Shōtoku|Prince Shoutoku]]. Both Youmei and Shoutoku were proponents of Buddhism, which led to victory for Umako, whose forces killed Moriya and his allies in the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Shigisan|Battle of Shigisan]] in 587.<br />
<br />
Of the Mononobe, there existed {{nihongo|Futsuhime|布都姫}}, who was the little sister of Mononobe no Moriya. In the [[Wikipedia:Nihon Shoki|Nihon Shoki]], she was Soga no Umako's wife, although her name was never mentioned there. But according to the book, Umako "gratuitously killed Moriya by carrying out his wife's plot". So, according to this account, Futsuhime was a collaborator to Soga clan and a traitor to the Mononobe, despite her lineage. Furthermore, Umako and his wife are thought to have given birth to Tojiko no Iratsume. Other historical documents tell different accounts. For example, in the [[Wikipedia:Kujiki|Sendai Kuji Hongi]], she was married to [[Wikipedia:Emperor Sushun|Emperor Sushun]] and later to Mononobe no Nieko no Muraji, who was Mononobe no Moriya's little brother and Futsuhime's half brother.<br />
<br />
While it's fairly clear that Futo draws inspirations as far as her actions go from Futsuhime, according to ZUN from an interview, [[Febri/Ten_Desires_and_Touhou_Project_interview_with_ZUN_Part1|"Though their names are similar they are different people."]].<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Mononobe no Futo''|物部 布都}}. She takes the name {{nihongo|''Mononobe''|物部}} as a member of the Mononobe clan. Her given name, {{nihongo|''Futo''|布都|lit. "cloth city/capital/metropolis"}}, is derived from the name {{nihongo|''Futsuhime''|布都姫}}, whom her name was based off on.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Ten Desires]]'''s official art, Mononobe no Futo has grey eyes, grey hair and is dressed in a uniform which resembles Heian Era clothing such as a {{nihongo|''kariginu''|狩衣||lit. "hunting dress"}} or a {{nihongo|''suikan''|水干||lit. "dried with water"}}, modified with the addition of a purple skirt, with an {{nihongo|''eboshi''|烏帽子}} atop her head. Kariginu or suikan were worn for everyday clothes by the male {{nihongo|''Kuge''|公家|"people of the Imperial Court"}} in the Heian Era. The ribbons wrapped around various parts of her outfit (i.e. her neck, shoes, hat, and sleeves) all correspond to the five colors of Feng Shui. <ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo|Who's Who of Humans and Youkai in Gensokyo]] - [[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Mononobe no Futo and Soga no Tojiko|Mononobe no Futo and Soga no Tojiko]]</ref><br />

;''[[Ten Desires]]''<br />
[[File:Th13FutoSprite.png|frame|Futo's sprite in ''TD'']]<br />
When the heroine reaches the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] in stage 5, Futo appears to them, having been reborn as a shikaisen. She challenges the heroine, thinking that she is the final trial to be overcome in her resurrection. After she is defeated, however, she realizes that the spirits of desire are actually flooding into the mausoleum in anticipation of [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s resurrection rather than her own.<br />
<br />
;''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''<br />
Futo initially approaches the [[Hakurei Shrine]] after Miko defeated [[Reimu Hakurei]] in combat, and she wants an explanation. However, Reimu has shut herself in, and Futo ends up battling [[Marisa Kirisame]] first. After emerging victorious, she approaches [[Koishi Komeiji]] for the same reason. She then travels to the [[Myouren Temple]], where she reveals her goal to [[Ichirin Kumoi]] - that their respective religions unite for the common good of the suffering people. Ichirin insists that [[Byakuren Hijiri]] has it under control, and that they need no help from the likes of a taoist. After Futo defeats her, she is impressed and invites her to convert; Ichirin refuses, prompting Futo to mention the fact that she drinks alcohol.<br />
<br />
Futo then wanders to the [[Youkai Mountain]], having realized that Miko already resolved the incident. There, she runs into [[Nitori Kawashiro]], who is taking down her stall. Futo inquires as to the details of Nitori's battle with Miko, but Nitori couldn't care less about the religious war. This prompts her to attempt to convert Nitori, but after she defeats the [[kappa]], Nitori decides that if she were to become a religious believer, she'd probably go to Shinto rather than Taoism, much to Futo's dismay. As Futo returns to the [[Human Village]], she encounters Miko herself, and they engage in battle. However, it was actually [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] in disguise, and after Futo loses all her popularity in the process of defeating her, she battles Mamizou in her true form. After defeating her again, Mamizou explains that she was only looking out for the humans, and that someone is behind all this.<br />
<br />
Futo encounters [[Hata no Kokoro]] that night, who is trying to figure out what to do with her time until Miko creates a new Mask of Hope for her. Unfortunately, the two end up fighting each other. After defeating her, Futo returns to the Mausoleum, where Miko explains that she's making a new mask. Futo is doubtful.<br />
<br />
;''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''<br />
:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}<br />
After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], she becomes one of the many strong [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]]. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
<br />
;''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''<br />
{{stub|section}}<br />
Futo decides to gather the Occult Balls as her [[Toyosatomimi no Miko|master]] does, but leaving the strong people to Miko. After encountering [[Ichirin Kumoi]] and [[Reimu Hakurei]], Futo defeats [[Fujiwara no Mokou]] and obtains six of the balls. She bumps into [[Byakuren Hijiri]], who claims wanting to prove that the ongoing rumors about the balls are just lies.<br />
<br />
;''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Futo, alongside [[Ichirin Kumoi]], assists [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] and [[Byakuren Hijiri]] in their investigation of Perfect Posession. Unlike most tag teams, Futo takes turns with Ichirin at being the master of the posession. After a couple of fights, Futo gets tired and nods off while Ichirin is posessing her, and as a result the two share the same dream in the [[Dream World]].<br />
<br />
At sundown when they return to the [[Myouren Temple]], they challenge their leaders for a chance to take over the investigation and vanquish the culprits of the incident themselves.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Toyosatomimi no Miko===<br />
Futo has been [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s faithful servant since before the religious war between Shinto and Buddhism. After they died to become shikaisen together and reappeared in [[Gensokyo]], they remain together. ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' says that they usually act in unison.<br />
<br />
===Soga no Tojiko===<br />
Their official profiles state that Futo and [[Soga no Tojiko]] get along with each other for the most part, despite their origins as enemies in the religious war. They seem to be united under the fact that they both hate Buddhism. However, in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', it's revealed that the reason Soga is a ghost is because Futo tricked her when they became shikaisen, having held a grudge against her during the religious wars. Soga, however, does not seem to have a problem with being a ghost, so it's possible they are still on good terms.<br />
<br />
===Other Characters===<br />
;[[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Sanae Kochiya]] & [[Youmu Konpaku]]<br />
Due to her automatically misunderstanding others, she quickly came to conclusions the first time she met Reimu, Marisa, Sanae and Youmu. For instance: with Reimu, she thought that she has come to be an experimental subject for complete recovery; with Sanae, she thinks Sanae has come to deliver her to [[heaven]]; and with Youmu, she thought she was a [[shikaisen]] (dead nirvana [[hermit]]), and therefore continues to think Youmu is a hermit even after the battle.<br />

<br />
ちょっと昔のお話。今から千数百年ほど前だろうか。<br/><br />
まだ国が人を統治するという考え方が纏まりきる前の話。人、物、技術、宗教など様々な物が海を渡って渡来してきた。<br/><br />
その中の一つ、仏教がこの国の行方を大きく変えていく事になる。<br />
<br />
国は仏教を巡り崇拝派と廃仏派に別れ、お互いの溝を深めていく。神道の神様であるウマシマジノミコトを祖とする物部氏は廃仏派であった。人間を祖とする蘇我氏との対立は凄まじく、この宗教戦争は後に語られるようなただの権力争いではなく、神々の系譜と人間の尊厳との争いだったのである。<br />
<br />
そして仏教を巡る宗教戦争は悲劇で幕を閉じる。<br />
<br />
争いは日増しに過激になり、物部氏は寺を襲撃し寺を焼き仏像を捨て廃仏を訴えた。しかしタイミングが悪かったのか、その日から疫病が流行し始め、天皇が崩御してしまう。<br />
<br />
これを蘇我氏は仏教に大して非道なことをした祟りだと喧伝した。それにより蘇我氏の支持が高まり、ついに物部討伐の許可が下りるのである。<br />
<br />
その争いで物部は滅亡する事になった。そしてこの国の政治は仏教を中心に行われていくことになる。<br/><br />
これが表に知られている物部、蘇我の宗教戦争である。<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、実はこれを裏で糸を引く者がいた。それが布都であった。<br/><br />
彼女は物部の姓ながら、影である宗教を崇拝していた。それが仏教と同時に伝わってきた道教である。<br/><br />
道教は自らを超人化する事が出来、その最終目的は不老不死である。権力者にとっては非常に魅力的な宗教であった。<br />
<br />
だが、この魅力的な宗教も欠点があった。それは民が誰でも修行すれば仙人になれるのでは、政治には向かないと言う事。その為、彼女は道教の事はひた隠しする事になる。<br />
<br />
そして同じく道教を崇拝していた神子から、ある提案を持ちかけられる。<br/><br />
それが、表向きは民を静かにさせる事の出来る仏教を崇拝しこの国を治める。その上で自分の死に呪いをかけ、我らは尸解仙として復活しよう、という話であった。<br />
<br />
布都は蘇我氏の味方となり、裏から操る事が出来た。それにより蘇我氏は仏教を盲信するようになった。当然、神の子孫である物部(布都を除く)はそれを面白く思わなかった。<br />
<br />
<br />
その結果、引き起こされたのが仏教を巡る宗教戦争である。実際は、物部という日本古来の神々と、道教を使い新たな神になろうとする神子との争いであった。仏教はその為の目眩ましでしかなかったのだ。<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、二人の復活まで随分と時間が掛かってしまったようだ。<br/><br />
それは神子の死を不審がった仏教の僧侶達が、その上にお寺を建て復活を拒んでいたからであろう。<br />
<br />
政治のために利用した仏教であったが、思った以上に信仰力が強く、現代日本まで広く信仰され続けられたのは誤算であったようだ。<br />

'''Mononobe no Futo'''<br />
<br />
Species: Human? (a taoist who self-identifies as a shikaisen)<br/><br />
Ability: Manipulating [[wikipedia:Feng shui|feng shui]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Long ago, indeed, fourteen hundred years ago or so.<br/><br />
Before, in fact, it had been decided that the country would rule over the people. People, things, technology, religion... Many things were being introduced from across the sea.<br/><br />
One of those would greatly influence the direction Buddhism would take in this country.<br />
<br />
The country was divided into pro- and anti-Buddhist factions, which dug in more over time. The Mononobe, the ones who had Umashimaji no Mikoto - a god in Shinto - as its ancestor, was in the anti-Buddhist faction. Her confrontation with the Soga, the ones who had a human<ref>Academically, the ancestor is thought to be {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Takenouchi no Sukune|Takenouchi no Sukune]]|武内宿禰}}.</ref> as its ancestor, was dreadful, and afterwards this religious conflict wasn't talked of as a petty political battle, but as a battle between the lineage of the gods and human dignity.<br />
<br />
And so, religious war over Buddhism ended in tragedy.<br />
<br />
The battles grew more vicious with each passing day as the Mononobe waged an anti-Buddhist campaign that invaded and burned temples and threw out their statues. Perhaps it was simply bad timing, but after that day, an epidemic began to spread, resulting in the passing of the Emperor.<br />
<br />
The Soga proclaimed this to be a curse brought on by despicable acts against Buddhism. This rallied support in Soga's favor, who was eventually given permission to bring the Mononobe into submission.<br />
<br />
This battle resulted in the destruction of the Mononobe. From then on, the nation's politics were carried out in a fashion befitting Buddhism.<br/><br />
This is what most people know about the religious war between the Mononobe and the Soga.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, there was someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes: Futo.<br/><br />
A daughter of the Mononobe, she worshipped at the altar of another faith.<br /><br />
That faith was Taoism, which had been introduced at the same time as Buddhism. Taoism could grant people superhuman abilities based on their own actions, eventually resulting in immortality. It was particularly appealing to those with political power.<br />
<br />
However, that appealing faith also had a weakness. It was not well suited for political control, as anyone could undergo the ascetic training necessary to become a hermit. As a result, she decided to practice her Taoism in secret.<br />
<br />
Miko, a fellow Taoist practitioner, came to her with a certain plan.<br /><br />
Her plan was to govern the country using Buddhism as a means to keep the citizenry pacified. Then, they would cast a curse on their own deaths and be reborn as shikaisen.<br />
<br />
Futo became an ally of the Soga and was able to manipulate them. Thus, the Soga came to be blind followers of Buddhism.<br /><br />
Naturally, as descendents of the gods, the Mononobe (excepted Futo) weren't particularly pleased about this.<br />
<br />
<br />
The result was a protracted religious war over Buddhism. It was, in fact, a war between ancient gods of Japan in name of the Mononobe and Miko, who wished to become a new god through Taoism. Thus Buddhism was only a deception for their plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, it seemed it would take a long time for their resurrection to take place.<br/><br />
That was probably because a group of Buddhist monks doubted that Miko had actually died, and constructed a large temple above her grave to prevent her from resurrecting.<br />
<br />
Buddhism had been used for political ends, but it had apparently been a miscalculation to allow it to become so widely followed that even in modern Japan it continues to be widely observed.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Mononobe no Futo'''|物部 布都}} is a [[shikaisen]], formerly a hermit practicing [[Taoism]]. She possesses the ability to manipulate [[wikipedia:Feng shui|feng shui]], and originates from the Asuka era.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Futo first stands against the player in stage 5 of ''[[Ten Desires]]'', as well as being a support partner for the stage 6 boss. She later became a playable character in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', was a 9th Day Boss in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' and appeared in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'', again as a playable character.<br />
<br />
She is generally thought to be a [[shikaisen]], meaning that she was once a hermit who attempted to surpass the physical lifespan of a human by taking on the qualities of the dead. She essentially abandoned her body and transferred her soul into an object (said to be a plate). As a shikaisen, she is able to take on a great number of forms, but she prefers the traditional look she had when she was alive, as opposed to [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s decision to go with a more modern form.<br />
<br />
In her official profile, [[ZUN]] lists her as a "Taoist self-identifying as a shikaisen", but it can be inferred from her backstory as well as her article in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' that she is a bona-fide shikaisen.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Futo is described as being gentle at heart, but unable to adapt to modern times along with modern [[Gensokyo]] in general. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] points out in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' that because of it, she has an extremely "hermit-like" personality. Even in ancient times, she clung to [[Taoism]] rather than [[Buddhism]], indicating a dislike of change and a favoring of old ways. She is friendly towards [[human]]s, even going so far as to save them on occasion, but hostile towards [[youkai]] for some reason. [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] describes her as being a scaredy-cat, though her "fear" of Buddhist statues led to her burning them (and temples) down to the ground (as the head of the Mononobe clan).<br />
<br />
In speech, she speaks with in an archaic Japanese language. In first person, she uses {{nihongo||我|wa|archaic for "I"}} and in second person, {{nihongo||おぬし|onushi|archaic for "you"}}. In her speech and conduct, she attaches {{nihongo||ぞ|zo}} to the end of her sentences for emphasis, which is a little old-fashioned. Based on this, it would be no problem to think that she was probably born a long time ago and that she has a certain aura of nobility, never saying anything wild or off-beat.<br />
<br />
She says things which indicate that she might have a tendency to misunderstand others a little, for example she automatically thought that the heroine of ''[[Ten Desires]]'' had come to her for a blessing in order to recover. Thus she is a manifestation of the "idiot child", this may relate to how well she takes her defeat in general, sometimes praising the heroine. After battles, she always makes the excuse that she has not shown her true strength.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Manipulating [[wikipedia:Feng Shui|feng shui]]<br />
Futo is apparently able to manipulate feng shui. This ability is mentioned in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', where it is said that it's a power Futo aquired before studying [[Taoism]] and that due to the similarities in terms of worshipping nature, it's something almost identical to [[Shinto]]. Feng shui is the flow of [[wikipedia:Qi|qi]], particularly the flow of qi according to the environment. To manipulate feng shui is to apply some treatment to the surrounding environment and artificially change the flow of qi and it is something that manipulates fate and fortune.

<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Futo currently serves [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] and resides in the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] while practicing [[Taoism]].<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
A plate is mentioned as the object Futo used to transfer her soul into in order to become a [[shikaisen]] and she seems to carry several plates in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. In addition, she is seen riding a boat during some of her spell cards in ''[[Ten Desires]]'', ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Futo originated in the Mononobe clan, widely known to be a Shinto-worshipping clan. However, she was actually a worshipper of Taoism. She decided to practice her Taoism in secret, as it lacked political power due to the fact that anyone can undergo the training required to become a hermit. [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] eventually approached her and proposed a plan: Miko would pacify the nation under [[Buddhism]], but she and Futo would die and be reborn as shikaisen. Futo agreed, and managed to ally herself with the Soga clan to get them to follow Buddhism blindly.<br />
<br />
After the Mononobe clan caught wind of this, a religious war ensued between them and the Soga clan. The Mononobe clan was eventually defeated after numerous harsh battles that left many Buddhist temples and artifacts destroyed; and thus the nation was united under Buddhism.<br />
<br />
Once the battles ended, Futo finally attempted the process of becoming a shikaisen by "dying". Miko soon followed suit and they both ended up in [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:ThGKFuto.png|thumb|right|150px|Futo, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
The [[wikipedia:Mononobe clan|Mononobe clan]] was a family who waged a fierce political battle with the [[Wikipedia:Soga clan|Soga clan]] over Buddhism. In particular, [[Wikipedia:Soga no Umako|Soga no Umako]] and [[wikipedia:Mononobe no Moriya|Mononobe no Moriya]] were two very influential courtiers to [[Wikipedia:Emperor Bidatsu|Emperor Bidatsu]] and his brother, [[Wikipedia:Emperor Yōmei|Emperor Youmei]], who was the father of [[Wikipedia:Prince Shōtoku|Prince Shoutoku]]. Both Youmei and Shoutoku were proponents of Buddhism, which led to victory for Umako, whose forces killed Moriya and his allies in the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Shigisan|Battle of Shigisan]] in 587.<br />
<br />
Of the Mononobe, there existed {{nihongo|Futsuhime|布都姫}}, who was the little sister of Mononobe no Moriya. In the [[Wikipedia:Nihon Shoki|Nihon Shoki]], she was Soga no Umako's wife, although her name was never mentioned there. But according to the book, Umako "gratuitously killed Moriya by carrying out his wife's plot". So, according to this account, Futsuhime was a collaborator to Soga clan and a traitor to the Mononobe, despite her lineage. Furthermore, Umako and his wife are thought to have given birth to Tojiko no Iratsume, who as it turns out, is the possible basis of [[Soga no Tojiko]]. Other historical documents tell different accounts. For example, in the [[Wikipedia:Kujiki|Sendai Kuji Hongi]], she was married to [[Wikipedia:Emperor Sushun|Emperor Sushun]] and later to Mononobe no Nieko no Muraji, who was Mononobe no Moriya's little brother and Futsuhime's half brother.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Mononobe no Futo''|物部 布都}}. She takes the name {{nihongo|''Mononobe''|物部}} as a member of the Mononobe clan. Her given name, {{nihongo|''Futo''|布都|lit. "cloth city/capital/metropolis"}}, is derived from the name {{nihongo|''Futsuhime''|布都姫}}, whom her name was based off on.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Ten Desires]]'''s official art, Mononobe no Futo has grey eyes, grey hair and is dressed in a uniform which resembles Heian Era clothing such as a {{nihongo|''kariginu''|狩衣||lit. "hunting dress"}} or a {{nihongo|''suikan''|水干||lit. "dried with water"}}, modified with the addition of a purple skirt, with an {{nihongo|''eboshi''|烏帽子}} atop her head. Kariginu or suikan were worn for everyday clothes by the male {{nihongo|''Kuge''|公家|"people of the Imperial Court"}} in the Heian Era. The ribbons wrapped around various parts of her outfit (i.e. her neck, shoes, hat, and sleeves) all correspond to the five colors of Feng Shui. <ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo|Who's Who of Humans and Youkai in Gensokyo]] - [[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Mononobe no Futo and Soga no Tojiko|Mononobe no Futo and Soga no Tojiko]]</ref><br />

==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''[[Ten Desires]]''<br />
[[File:Th13FutoSprite.png|frame|Futo's sprite in ''TD'']]<br />
When the heroine reaches the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] in stage 5, Futo appears to them, having been reborn as a shikaisen. She challenges the heroine, thinking that she is the final trial to be overcome in her resurrection. After she is defeated, however, she realizes that the spirits of desire are actually flooding into the mausoleum in anticipation of [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s resurrection rather than her own.<br />
<br />
;''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''<br />
Futo initially approaches the [[Hakurei Shrine]] after Miko defeated [[Reimu Hakurei]] in combat, and she wants an explanation. However, Reimu has shut herself in, and Futo ends up battling [[Marisa Kirisame]] first. After emerging victorious, she approaches [[Koishi Komeiji]] for the same reason. She then travels to the [[Myouren Temple]], where she reveals her goal to [[Ichirin Kumoi]] - that their respective religions unite for the common good of the suffering people. Ichirin insists that [[Byakuren Hijiri]] has it under control, and that they need no help from the likes of a taoist. After Futo defeats her, she is impressed and invites her to convert; Ichirin refuses, prompting Futo to mention the fact that she drinks alcohol.<br />
<br />
Futo then wanders to the [[Youkai Mountain]], having realized that Miko already resolved the incident. There, she runs into [[Nitori Kawashiro]], who is taking down her stall. Futo inquires as to the details of Nitori's battle with Miko, but Nitori couldn't care less about the religious war. This prompts her to attempt to convert Nitori, but after she defeats the [[kappa]], Nitori decides that if she were to become a religious believer, she'd probably go to Shinto rather than Taoism, much to Futo's dismay. As Futo returns to the [[Human Village]], she encounters Miko herself, and they engage in battle. However, it was actually [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] in disguise, and after Futo loses all her popularity in the process of defeating her, she battles Mamizou in her true form. After defeating her again, Mamizou explains that she was only looking out for the humans, and that someone is behind all this.<br />
<br />
Futo encounters [[Hata no Kokoro]] that night, who is trying to figure out what to do with her time until Miko creates a new Mask of Hope for her. Unfortunately, the two end up fighting each other. After defeating her, Futo returns to the Mausoleum, where Miko explains that she's making a new mask. Futo is doubtful.<br />
<br />
;''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''<br />
:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}<br />
After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], she becomes one of the many strong [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]]. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
<br />
;''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''<br />
{{stub|section}}<br />
Futo decides to gather the Occult Balls as her [[Toyosatomimi no Miko|master]] does, but leaving the strong people to Miko. After encountering [[Ichirin Kumoi]] and [[Reimu Hakurei]], Futo defeats [[Fujiwara no Mokou]] and obtains six of the balls. She bumps into [[Byakuren Hijiri]], who claims wanting to prove that the ongoing rumors about the balls are just lies.<br />
<br />
;''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Futo, alongside [[Ichirin Kumoi]], assists [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] and [[Byakuren Hijiri]] in their investigation of Perfect Posession. Unlike most tag teams, Futo takes turns with Ichirin at being the master of the posession. After a couple of fights, Futo gets tired and nods off while Ichirin is posessing her, and as a result the two share the same dream in the [[Dream World]].<br />
<br />
At sundown when they return to the [[Myouren Temple]], they challenge their leaders for a chance to take over the investigation and vanquish the culprits of the incident themselves.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Toyosatomimi no Miko===<br />
Futo has been [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s faithful servant since before the religious war between Shinto and Buddhism. After they died to become shikaisen together and reappeared in [[Gensokyo]], they remain together. ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' says that they usually act in unison.<br />
<br />
===Soga no Tojiko===<br />
Their official profiles state that Futo and [[Soga no Tojiko]] get along with each other for the most part, despite their origins as enemies in the religious war. They seem to be united under the fact that they both hate Buddhism. However, in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', it's revealed that the reason Soga is a ghost is because Futo tricked her when they became shikaisen, having held a grudge against her during the religious wars. Soga, however, does not seem to have a problem with being a ghost, so it's possible they are still on good terms.<br />
<br />
===Other Characters===<br />
;[[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Sanae Kochiya]] & [[Youmu Konpaku]]<br />
Due to her automatically misunderstanding others, she quickly came to conclusions the first time she met Reimu, Marisa, Sanae and Youmu. For instance: with Reimu, she thought that she has come to be an experimental subject for complete recovery; with Sanae, she thinks Sanae has come to deliver her to [[heaven]]; and with Youmu, she thought she was a [[shikaisen]] (dead nirvana [[hermit]]), and therefore continues to think Youmu is a hermit even after the battle.<br />

<br />
ちょっと昔のお話。今から千数百年ほど前だろうか。<br/><br />
まだ国が人を統治するという考え方が纏まりきる前の話。人、物、技術、宗教など様々な物が海を渡って渡来してきた。<br/><br />
その中の一つ、仏教がこの国の行方を大きく変えていく事になる。<br />
<br />
国は仏教を巡り崇拝派と廃仏派に別れ、お互いの溝を深めていく。神道の神様であるウマシマジノミコトを祖とする物部氏は廃仏派であった。人間を祖とする蘇我氏との対立は凄まじく、この宗教戦争は後に語られるようなただの権力争いではなく、神々の系譜と人間の尊厳との争いだったのである。<br />
<br />
そして仏教を巡る宗教戦争は悲劇で幕を閉じる。<br />
<br />
争いは日増しに過激になり、物部氏は寺を襲撃し寺を焼き仏像を捨て廃仏を訴えた。しかしタイミングが悪かったのか、その日から疫病が流行し始め、天皇が崩御してしまう。<br />
<br />
これを蘇我氏は仏教に大して非道なことをした祟りだと喧伝した。それにより蘇我氏の支持が高まり、ついに物部討伐の許可が下りるのである。<br />
<br />
その争いで物部は滅亡する事になった。そしてこの国の政治は仏教を中心に行われていくことになる。<br/><br />
これが表に知られている物部、蘇我の宗教戦争である。<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、実はこれを裏で糸を引く者がいた。それが布都であった。<br/><br />
彼女は物部の姓ながら、影である宗教を崇拝していた。それが仏教と同時に伝わってきた道教である。<br/><br />
道教は自らを超人化する事が出来、その最終目的は不老不死である。権力者にとっては非常に魅力的な宗教であった。<br />
<br />
だが、この魅力的な宗教も欠点があった。それは民が誰でも修行すれば仙人になれるのでは、政治には向かないと言う事。その為、彼女は道教の事はひた隠しする事になる。<br />
<br />
そして同じく道教を崇拝していた神子から、ある提案を持ちかけられる。<br/><br />
それが、表向きは民を静かにさせる事の出来る仏教を崇拝しこの国を治める。その上で自分の死に呪いをかけ、我らは尸解仙として復活しよう、という話であった。<br />
<br />
布都は蘇我氏の味方となり、裏から操る事が出来た。それにより蘇我氏は仏教を盲信するようになった。当然、神の子孫である物部(布都を除く)はそれを面白く思わなかった。<br />
<br />
<br />
その結果、引き起こされたのが仏教を巡る宗教戦争である。実際は、物部という日本古来の神々と、道教を使い新たな神になろうとする神子との争いであった。仏教はその為の目眩ましでしかなかったのだ。<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、二人の復活まで随分と時間が掛かってしまったようだ。<br/><br />
それは神子の死を不審がった仏教の僧侶達が、その上にお寺を建て復活を拒んでいたからであろう。<br />
<br />
政治のために利用した仏教であったが、思った以上に信仰力が強く、現代日本まで広く信仰され続けられたのは誤算であったようだ。<br />

'''Mononobe no Futo'''<br />
<br />
Species: Human? (a taoist who self-identifies as a shikaisen)<br/><br />
Ability: Manipulating [[wikipedia:Feng shui|feng shui]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Long ago, indeed, fourteen hundred years ago or so.<br/><br />
Before, in fact, it had been decided that the country would rule over the people. People, things, technology, religion... Many things were being introduced from across the sea.<br/><br />
One of those would greatly influence the direction Buddhism would take in this country.<br />
<br />
The country was divided into pro- and anti-Buddhist factions, which dug in more over time. The Mononobe, the ones who had Umashimaji no Mikoto - a god in Shinto - as its ancestor, was in the anti-Buddhist faction. Her confrontation with the Soga, the ones who had a human<ref>Academically, the ancestor is thought to be {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Takenouchi no Sukune|Takenouchi no Sukune]]|武内宿禰}}.</ref> as its ancestor, was dreadful, and afterwards this religious conflict wasn't talked of as a petty political battle, but as a battle between the lineage of the gods and human dignity.<br />
<br />
And so, religious war over Buddhism ended in tragedy.<br />
<br />
The battles grew more vicious with each passing day as the Mononobe waged an anti-Buddhist campaign that invaded and burned temples and threw out their statues. Perhaps it was simply bad timing, but after that day, an epidemic began to spread, resulting in the passing of the Emperor.<br />
<br />
The Soga proclaimed this to be a curse brought on by despicable acts against Buddhism. This rallied support in Soga's favor, who was eventually given permission to bring the Mononobe into submission.<br />
<br />
This battle resulted in the destruction of the Mononobe. From then on, the nation's politics were carried out in a fashion befitting Buddhism.<br/><br />
This is what most people know about the religious war between the Mononobe and the Soga.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, there was someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes: Futo.<br/><br />
A daughter of the Mononobe, she worshipped at the altar of another faith.<br /><br />
That faith was Taoism, which had been introduced at the same time as Buddhism. Taoism could grant people superhuman abilities based on their own actions, eventually resulting in immortality. It was particularly appealing to those with political power.<br />
<br />
However, that appealing faith also had a weakness. It was not well suited for political control, as anyone could undergo the ascetic training necessary to become a hermit. As a result, she decided to practice her Taoism in secret.<br />
<br />
Miko, a fellow Taoist practitioner, came to her with a certain plan.<br /><br />
Her plan was to govern the country using Buddhism as a means to keep the citizenry pacified. Then, they would cast a curse on their own deaths and be reborn as shikaisen.<br />
<br />
Futo became an ally of the Soga and was able to manipulate them. Thus, the Soga came to be blind followers of Buddhism.<br /><br />
Naturally, as descendents of the gods, the Mononobe (excepted Futo) weren't particularly pleased about this.<br />
<br />
<br />
The result was a protracted religious war over Buddhism. It was, in fact, a war between ancient gods of Japan in name of the Mononobe and Miko, who wished to become a new god through Taoism. Thus Buddhism was only a deception for their plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, it seemed it would take a long time for their resurrection to take place.<br/><br />
That was probably because a group of Buddhist monks doubted that Miko had actually died, and constructed a large temple above her grave to prevent her from resurrecting.<br />
<br />
Buddhism had been used for political ends, but it had apparently been a miscalculation to allow it to become so widely followed that even in modern Japan it continues to be widely observed.<br />

Believing that those with violent hearts must be saved, Miko began to move.<br/><br />
Assembling faithful hearts scattered across the land to herself,<br/><br />
she tells them to re-make their momentary lives.<br/><br />
To do that, she must fight against other religionists.<br/><br />

<hr />
<div>The term {{nihongo|'''shrine maiden'''|巫女|miko}}, also called a '''shaman''', refers specifically to altar girls of the [[Shinto]] religion. They live and work in a [[wikipedia:Shinto shrine|Shinto shrine]]. Shrine maidens are generally virgins and take various rites of purity and chastity, and undergo various forms of physical and mental training. They also practice sealing and purification rituals, which are highly form-based and symbolic, and are used to bless, purify, or exorcise [[vengeful spirit]]s.<br />
<br />
A shrine maiden's iconic ritual implement is a wand with [[wikipedia:Shide (Shinto)|elaborately folded paper]] on the end, known as a ''[[wikipedia:Gohei|Gohei]]''. Reimu's gohei is called the ''purification rod'' ({{lang|ja|御祓い棒}}). Other common tools are small, rectangular paper amulets called ''[[wikipedia:O-fuda|o-fuda]]'', on which the names of gods are calligraphically inscribed.<br />
