Amakasu Barley Tenji (甘粕・バーレイ・天治 Amakasu Bārei Tenji) is an 80's dancer who loves to disco. He's currently employed at the Twilight Bar Room working as a Bartender and a butler, may also be a waiter, along with Tatsumi Hakkaisan. Isami Asama encounters Amakasu on the rooftop of the Twilight Bar Room (which is the "Saturday Night Garden") on the final stage of Uwabami Breakers.
Character Basis
Name
甘粕
- "ama" from "amai", which means "sweet"
- "kasu" are essentially the waste product left over from brewing sake, which can be reused in the pickling process
- "amakasu" then means something like "the sweet leftovers from brewing"
バーレイ
- Barley is a grain often used as a malt in the brewing process. The Egyptians made beer out of barley, and barleywine is still a fairly common alcohol.
天治
- "ten" - the heavens
- "ji" - to rule
Truly, a name befitting someone who appears in the sky as a final boss after a long night of drunken carousing.
Design
Amakasu's design shows that he has an Afro, a mustache and some small round sunglasses, where he wears a black butler vest over a white shirt, adorned with a red bow tie and a thin red ribbon to each of his arms. He also has black trousers and brown shoes. He holds a bottle (wine bottle?) with a red cloth. Furthermore, he has a dark-skinned face, but a white body.
Relationships
- Rumi Arie and Tatsumi Hakkaisan
Rumi Arie is Amakasu's employer and Tatsumi Hakkaisan is his fellow employee.
- Isami Asama
Isami Asama may be a possible rival to Amakasu. She is a customer of the Twilight Bar Room. In the ending, Isami was bleeding for more money off Amakasu so she can buy more drinks.

Additional Information
- Amakasu has some strange abilities. He is able to spin his head 360 degrees non-stop and that he is able to summon disco balls.
- He's the only character in Uwabami Breakers to have his theme song officially composed by ZUN.
- In his profile, Steward may mean that Amakasu is a butler.
- The name "Saturday Night Garden" is a reference to the American film Saturday Night Fever.
- Amakasu only shows himself to the highest class of customers. This would be why he's the final boss.
- His favourite line is "You call that danmaku? That fight before was way worse, man". This could possibly mean that he, Rumi Arie and Tatsumi Hakkaisan may know that Gensokyo exists. Also, they use the Spell Card system.
Fanon Culture
- Iku Nagae does some disco poses on her spell cards. Because of this, Amakasu has been compared to her.
- There's a little joke that Amakasu may have had too much UV rays...
- In Twilight Bar's story mode in Touhou Unreal Mahjong, Amakasu is shown playing Mahjong with ZUN. This has got some fans thinking that he's a good friend with ZUN.
