Most of the characters in Infinite Blade Pavilion are original and non-existent in the Touhou Project. The following three are, however, officially part of the Touhou Project and are playable characters in Infinite Blade Pavilion. The rest below are original characters.

Reimu Hakurei
破魔矢の如き巫女
Exorcising Arrow-like Shrine Maiden

Reimu Hakurei
Playable Character

 種族:人間

 能力:主に空を飛ぶ程度の能力

 毎度お馴染み妖怪退治。博麗神社の巫女さん。

 所詮、山の紅葉の変化も諸行無常、遅い時もありゃ早い時もある、
 などと、異変の兆候についてはさほど気にとめていない。
 だがしかし、その原因がおそらく地底にある、と気づいた巫女は、多少の
 嫌な予感を感じつつも地底を目指すことにした。
 なにせ、地底にはろくな妖怪がいないからだ。
 きっとろくでもないことが起こるに違いない。

Species: Human

Ability: Flying in the sky

The ubiquitous youkai exterminator and shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.

The changes in the mountains' fall leaves are ultimately as transient as all other things. At times, they change early, and at other times late.
...And so forth. Which is why she's not paying any particular attention to the signs of the incident.
But once she realized that the cause was most likely underground, the shrine maiden ventured
beneath the earth, despite having a somewhat bad feeling about what was to come.
After all, every youkai living underground was a terrible ne'er-do-well.
Something bad was bound to happen down there.


Marisa Kirisame
矛盾と戦う魔法使い
Contradiction-Fighting Magician

Marisa Kirisame
Playable Character

 種族:人間

 能力:魔法を使う程度の能力

 森に住んでる魔法使い。

 幻想郷の山々の紅葉、秋を奪われた原因にはさほど興味を持っていない。
 むしろこの異変を起こしているものの動機に興味を持っている。
 それが地底にあるというのなら尚更だ。
 以前、間欠泉と地霊の異変で地底に潜った時も、面白いものを色々発見
 できた。
 今回も面白いことが起こるに違いない、と半ば物見遊山気分である。

Species: Human

Ability: Using magic

The magician living in the forest.

She's not particularly concerned about the cause behind Gensokyo's autumn being stolen, nor the mountain leaves along with it.
If anything, she's far more interested in the perpetrator's motive--
especially if that perpetrator is underground.
She discovered quite a few interesting things on her last trip underground
during the geyser-and-earth-spirits incident, so she's certain that something
interesting will happen this time too. She's more or less in a 'sightseeing' mood.


Youmu Konpaku
活人剣の庭師
Gardener of the Life-Saving Sword

Youmu Konpaku
Playable Character

 種族:人間と幽霊のハーフ

 能力:剣術を扱う程度の能力

 半人半霊の庭師。

 過去に主人・幽々子様と起こした「春を奪った異変」に似た、「秋」を
 奪われた異変にいち早く気が付いた。
 気が付いたのはいいが、なぜか幽々子様には刀の手入れ(&腕試し)を
 命じられ、地底に向かうはめになる。
 本意のわからぬ主人の命令に不安を感じながらも、おそらくはお嬢様の
 狙いはその地底にあるのでは―。
 と、信じていた。それなりに。

Species: Half-human half-phantom

Ability: Handling sword techniques

The half-human half-phantom gardener.

She took notice of the "autumn"-stealing incident fairly quickly, as it resembled
the "spring-stealing incident" that her mistress Yuyuko had once caused in the past.
Which was all well and good, but for some reason, Yuyuko ordered her to go repair her swords
(and test them out along the way). Thus, she's been saddled with a trip to the underground.
She can hardly ever tell what her mistress is really thinking when giving such orders,
so she's somewhat uneasy about it, but perhaps Yuyuko's true aim really does lie underground...
Well, that's what she believes for now. More or less.

 Ariwara no Miyabiko

 種族:怨霊
 能力:和歌を詠む程度の能力

 地底への穴に吹き込むもみじ葉の美しさに惹かれ、ふらふらとやってきた
 怨霊。
 彼女はかつては有名な歌人であった人間の、分霊である。

 彼女の詠む歌は小野小町と並び、言霊の力すさまじく、天地をも動かし、
 鬼神をもあわれと思わせ、男女の仲をもやわらげる、とまで言われていた。
 その力を持ってしても、一人の女性を諦めねばならなかったことを今でも
 悔み、成仏できずに怨霊として毎日ふらふらとしている。

 今回は生前に詠んだ歌のせいであらぬ疑いをかけられ、弾幕勝負を挑まれて
 しまった。

 生前は悪名高き、平安きっての色好みと散々な言われようだったが、現在も
 まったく反省していない。

 彼女もまた、導命樹異変を起こした某天神さま(生前の友人同士?らしい。
 なお、よく二人で平安京をおびやかすミステリー怪事件を解決していた、
 というのはまた別の話。)と同じく、紀貫之をリスペクトし、女性の姿を
 とっている。

 「女性の心を理解するには女性の姿になるのが一番だと思った」とは本人の談。

Stage 1 Midboss and Boss - The Poetry Immortal Singing of Autumn Leaves

Ariwara no Miyabiko

Species: Vengeful spirit
Ability: Reciting waka

A vengeful spirit who floated over to the tunnel leading underground, attracted by the beauty of the fall leaves blowing up from it.
She's a bunrei ("divided spirit") of a once-famous human poet.

Her poems were said to be on par with those of Ono no Komachi, filled with extraordinary linguistic power, capable of moving Heaven and Earth, bringing sorrow even to ferocious kishin, even able to loosen the bonds between man and woman.
Despite such power, there was one woman who she was ultimately forced to give up upon, the fact of which she still curses to this day. Thus unable to rest in peace, she spends every day floating around as a vengeful spirit.

During the events of the story, she's unjustly accused of relation to the incident due to a poem she composed while alive, and is challenged with a danmaku fight.

It seems that in life, she was widely notorious for being the most unabashed womanizer of the Heian era.
She hasn't changed her ways one bit as of today.

Much like one Miss Tenjin (apparently her friend(?) since their mortal days. Also they often teamed up to solve bizarre mysteries that plagued the city of Heiankyo but that's a story for another time,) who previously caused the Life-Guiding Tree Incident, she's taken a page out of Ki no Tsurayuki's book and adopted a female form.

According to her, "I decided that the best way to understand a woman's heart was to become a woman myself".

 種族:妖怪(かまいたち)
 能力:つむじ風を起こす程度の能力

 地底と地上の境界を流れる川を縄張りにする、低級妖怪の姉妹。
 鎌(れん)が姉で鼬(てん)が妹。
 彼女らはつむじ風を起こし、人間を転ばせ、切り裂き、瞬時に傷薬を塗る事で
 かすり傷程度にすませる、というイタズラを生業としている妖怪である。
 手の早さと器用さに自信を持っていた彼女らは、興味本位で地底にやってきた
 人間に弾幕勝負を挑むことにした。
 いくら手が早いといえど、所詮は低級妖怪。結果はいうまでもない。

Stage 2 Midboss and Boss - Gale Slashers

Ren Hitotachi & Ten Hitotachi

Species: Youkai (kamaitachi)
Ability: Causing whirlwinds

A pair of low-level youkai sisters, whose territory consists of the river flowing across the border between the underground and the surface.
Ren is the older sister, and Ten is the younger.
Their life's work as youkai is to prank humans by knocking them over with whirlwinds, slashing at any exposed skin, then instantly applying ointment so that the wounds only result in faint scratches.
They're quite proud of their speed and dexterity, and decided to have some fun with the human who ventured underground by challenging them to a danmaku battle.
Fast as they may be, they were just low-level youkai in the end. The outcome hardly even needs saying.

 スノウコーディア
 Snow Cordie

 種族:妖精
 能力:石を輝かせる程度の能力

 地下に住む、石の妖精。地下で主に活動している為、地上の妖精ほど活発では
 ないし、群れたりもしない。

 石を輝かせる能力は、鉱物が宝石になる化学変化の過程を短い時間で行う能力。
 悪い人間に見つかると金儲けの道具にされそうな力だが、彼女の活動拠点が
 旧地獄なので、あまりその心配はないし、本人もしていない。
 今回はただの通りすがり妖精。

Stage 3 Midboss - Cerasite Fairy

Snow Cordie

Species: Fairy
Ability: Making stones shine

A stone fairy who dwells beneath the earth. Since she spends most of her time underground,
she's not as active as the above-ground fairies, nor does she crowd together with the others.

Her 'ability to make stones shine' is the ability to perform the chemical reactions that turn minerals into gemstones, but in a very short amount of time.
She'd probably get used as a tool for get-rich-quick schemes if any evil humans found her,
but since her main place of activity is Former Hell, she doesn't worry too much about that, nor does she have to.
During the story, she's just a random passerby fairy.

Stage 3 Boss - Former Hell's Great Tormenting Demon

Sekito Umakakeba

Species: Oni (mezu-oni)
Ability: Running 1000 li in one day

An oni who lives in Former Hell's capital. One of the oni who used to torment dead spirits there.
She's known as a horse-head oni, and boasts some of the fastest speed among her peers.
She was once a famous horse who carried humans across the battlefield in a flash,
but she fell into Hell and wound up turning into an oni there.

Much like her fellow oni, she spends every day drinking and making a commotion,
but she's also a hard worker who never forgoes her daily training regimen.
She dreams of someday escaping from the underground's dingy caverns,
and sprinting as much as she likes across the sunny plains.

Just as she realized that something disquieting was going on at the Palace of the Earth Spirits,
she encountered the human who had come down from above.
Her short-tempered personality then came back to bite her as she picked a fight with them.

  1. A reference to a famous poem by Ariwara no Narihira about autumn leaves on the Tatsuta River in Ikaruga, the sight of which was unknown even to the "ferocious" (千早ぶる / 'chihayaburu') gods of old.
  2. 2.0 2.1 荒ぶる (araburu, ferocious/raging/etc.) and バリアブル (bariaburu, "variable"): puns on "chihayaburu" from the previous version.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 A reference to the kagura play Aoba no fue (青葉の笛 / lit. "green flute" or "green-leaf flute"), in which Ariwara no Narihira vanquishes an oni on Mt. Arakura (荒倉山) and steals the titular flute from him.
  4. Another reference to Ariwara's poem about Tatsuta River (see above). Pun on "maple" and "maelstrom".
  5. Fulmen: Latin for lightning
  6. A reference to a poem by Ariwara no Narihira ("世の中にたえて桜のなかりせば 春の心はのどけからまし"). The poem ponders whether people's hearts in spring would be lighter if cherry blossoms, which are beautiful but fleeting, didn't exist.
  7. A reference to a poem by Ariwara no Narihira ("桜の花よ曇るばかりに散れ、老いが来るという道が見えなくなるように"), entreating the falling cherry petals to obscure the "road" upon which old age steadily approached him.
  8. 'Kataigida': Greek for 'thunderstorm'
  9. 変異抜刀 (hen'i battou, lit. "apparition's quick-draw"): a pun on 変移抜刀霞斬り(hen'i battou kasumi-giri, lit. "changing-motion quick-draw: Mist Cutter"), a sword technique used by the protagonist of the series Kamuiden. The user makes subtle back-and-forth movements as they approach with their hands hidden, making it difficult to predict where their blade will strike from.
  10. Kamai-dachi: a pun on "kamaitachi" and "tachi".
  11. 11.0 11.1 Qiongqi (窮奇) is one of the "Four Perils" or "Four Evils" (四凶) in Chinese mythology, taking the form of a giant, tiger-like flying beast.
  12. 12.0 12.1 "Death Scythe": potentially a reference to the XXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe.
  13. "Hell Screen" (地獄変 / jigokuhen, "painting of Hell", "screen depicting Hell", etc.): a reference to Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's short story of the same name, and to the artwork of Hell that the story was named after.
  14. Mt. Yaotome (八乙女山): a mountain located in Nanto, Toyama.
  15. A reference to the "stone cherries" depicted in Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 28, which Snow Cordie is a fairy embodiment of.
  16. A reference to the Pokémon Mega Diancie, and its signature move Diamond Storm.
  17. "Kongouseki" (金剛石): Japanese term for diamond. Likely a reference to the Stand "Crazy Diamond" and the technique "Emerald Splash" from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Also possibly a reference to the character Master Kongou from Land of the Lustrous, who can fire shards of artificial diamond in a similar manner to the Emerald Splash.
  18. A reference to the "Hell Scroll" (地獄草紙) held at Nara National Museum, which contains a depiction of Mezu, the horse-headed oni that Sekito is based on.
  19. Pun on "Nara" and "Naraka".
  20. "Homura-hotogi" (焔甌, lit. 'flame pot'): the name of a move used by Iori Yagami in the King of Fighters video game series.
  21. 逆剥 (sakahagi, lit. "back tearing") is one of the Heavenly Sins (天津罪 / amatsutsumi) in Shinto, referring to the practice of skinning a horse starting from its hindquarters. "Sakahagi" (逆剥ぎ) is also the name of a move used by Iori Yagami in the King of Fighters video game series.
  22. "Ame no Fuchikoma": the name of the horse that Susanoo flayed and threw at Amaterasu in Japanese mythology, prompting Amaterasu to hide in Ama no Iwato.
  23. 23.0 23.1 逆ギレ (gyaku-gire, lit. "reverse cut"/"reverse slice"): the act of snapping back angrily at someone who's angry with you already.
  24. 雲長 (Yunchang): the courtesy name of Guan Yu. 関帝 (Guan Di / "emperor Guan"): another of Guan Yu's titles.
  25. 奉先 (Fengxian): the courtesy name of Lü Bu.
