Genjii (玄爺) is a turtle that lives at the Hakurei Shrine. His magical abilities have granted him a long life and the ability to fly, and as Reimu Hakurei cannot fly under her own power prior to Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, he is used as a platform for Reimu to fly on.

Genjii is clearly much older than Reimu, and she often refers to him as "Gramps" in order to mock his age (and as a pun on his name).

Additional Information

Trivia

  • According to ZUN, Genjii is probably still living in the lake in the back of the shrine.
  • In Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 12, Reimu and Marisa have a talk about Glowing Moss. Reimu said it would be nice to transfer it to the pond in the back of the Shrine and Marisa responds that she could make it grow there on the turtles' backs. Even if it was more than one turtle, it could be a reference to Genjii.
  • Genjii only speaks in Story of Eastern Wonderland.
  • Because of his ability to fly and speak he is probably a type of youkai, as animals that live very long usually turn into one.
