The Dragon (龍 Ryū), also called dragon god is, according to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, the highest god of Gensokyo. All living things, whether human or youkai, worship the dragon god. The dragon lives in sea or sky or rain, and regardless of the Great Hakurei Border, the Dragon can move freely through heaven, hell, netherworld, and the outside world. Its voice divides the sky and causes thunderstorms. When it winds its body it causing mountains to crumble and earthquakes to occur. While destroying at the same time being the creator of Gensokyo, and the rain, the rivers, abundant greens are all due to the dragon's help.
The source of this is not just from Rinnosuke Morichika, but also from several other sources like Hieda no Akyuu, Reimu Hakurei, Three Fairies of Light etc. The dragon god commands wide respect in Gensokyo.
Concept
Name
Regular gods are distinguished by their names and therefore emerge only on one aspect, but this dragon has no name, and displays the original power of god.
Appearance
According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, a Dragon looks like a serpent with hands and horns and that is thicker than a great tree that's thousands of years old. Also, they so long that they can block out the sky.
Abilities
In nature, there are the three attributes of the three lights, four seasons, and five phases. Within this, the dragon god comes from the five phases (commonly called Wu Xing). Before the dragon god created the five phases, the loop of sky to rain to sea repeated over and over, and it was a perfectly harmonious world. Into this, the dragon god bestowed the shape of the seven colors of the rainbows, and the flow of the three, sky to rain, rain to sea, and sea to sky became wood engendering fire, fire engendering earth, earth engendering metal, metal engendering water, water engendering wood, wood conquering earth, earth conquering water, water conquering fire, fire conquering metal, metal conquering wood, thus creating complication and ten powers of destruction. It is according to this that all things in nature live.
Since the dragon god has such an astonishing scale of power as to create and destroy Gensokyo, it is no mistake to say that the dragon god has the top class of power. However, since the dragon god has never clearly appeared in any work so far other than being mentioned, judgments on its power should be put on hold.

- The colour for Cloudy (Sakuya Izayoi's) is grey,
- The colour for rainy (Sprinkle/Drizzle, Suika Ibuki/Marisa Kirisame's weather) is blue,
- They are all mentioned in the Perfect Memento in Strict Sense article. It's also said that the eyes turn red when an incident is about to occur: in all three present cases of "red-weather" this is verified.
- Remilia Scarlet's weather, "Heavy Fog", is red (like the Scarlet Mist in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil).
- Tenshi Hinanawi's weather, "Aurora" is likewise red (she caused the entire incident in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, in addition to the destruction of the Hakurei Shrine).
- Yukari Yakumo's weather, "Sunshower" is likewise red (she manipulated the border of the Netherworld to allow Yuyuko Saigyouji to steal spring in Perfect Cherry Blossom).
