Kagerou Imaizumi (今泉 影狼 Imaizumi Kagerou) is a werewolf who lives in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost.

General Information

Name

Her first name Kagerou (影狼) literally means "Shadow Wolf". Her surname, Imaizumi (今泉) is a reference to the Japanese zoologist Yoshinori Imaizumi (今泉吉典), who first researched the Japanese wolf. It's spelled with the characters for "now" and "spring".

Design

In her wolf form, Kagerou has dark brown hair and red eyes. She has two wolf ears. She wears a dress which is based on the design of the Hanafuda card for Pampas Grass and the Full Moon. The red on the dress represents the red sky, the white represents the moon, and the black trim with a hash pattern at the bottom represents the hill of pampas grass. At the neck of her dress is a red amulet. She has long, red nails.

Relationships

Minor Relationships

Wakasagihime

They seem to know each other, as Kagerou tried to eat her once (by mistake).

Additional Information

  • She's the first werewolf in a remotely traditional sense to appear in the series.
    • And interestingly enough she has a serious dislike of how hairy she'd get on a full moon, making her normally far less aggressive than most werewolves.

Fandom

  • Since her first apparition in the Double Dealing Character demo, she has been paired with either Keine Kamishirasawa, because both of them are 3rd Stage bosses and are half-beasts that transform in the nights of full Moon, or Momiji Inubashiri because of her being a white wolf tengu and Kagerou a werewolf (Moreover, she is sometimes depicted as a more dog-like character, just like it happens to Momiji).

Stage 3 Boss - The Bamboo Forest's Loup-Garou

Kagerou Imaizumi

Species: Wolf-woman
Ability: Ability to transform into a wolf on the night of the full moon

A person with a calm personality.
Even when she transforms into a wolf, her composure isn't lost.

It seems that there are many youkai related to the moon in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost,
perhaps because people from the moon built a mansion there.
She is one of those youkai.

By the way, she is a were-Honshu wolf, a species extinct in the outside world.

She lives quietly, hiding her skin as if concerned
that she'll turn all hairy on the night of the full moon.

This time, she began to go berserk for some reason; this reached Reimu's ears,
and she was exterminated.
