[[Hatate Himekaidou]] notes that she hides in the darkness to attempt to surprise people, but her hiding places are obvious. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] describes her attempts as child's play, to the point where the greater "threat" from her is how bothersome it can be to deal with her after she gets depressed by her failure to surprise someone. It's sometimes better to just pretend to be surprised in order to please her. Considering this, maybe Kogasa is unable to discern between genuine and fake shock, despite how she feeds by surprising people. It is unknown if a person pretending to be surprised provides her with any sustenance, although it does make her happy.

However, Kogasa seems to have some interesting interactions with the [[Canon#Fourth wall|fourth wall]], such as: her stated failure to defeat [[Yoshika Miyako]] in ''[[Ten Desires]]'' due to a "time out"; her appearance on the ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' CD saying {{nihongo|"Surprise~"|おどろけー|odoroke~}} despite being stated by [[ZUN]] to not be involved with the story; her appearance as the ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' extra-stage mid-boss despite not having any relation to the story, which comes complete with a "Surprise!" sound effect to hammer the point home (the only extra-stage mid-boss in the series with no real involvement in the story); and dropping the first big power-up in ''[[Ten Desires]]'' upon her defeat. It is unknown if this is an in-story [[canon]] ability or just an out-of-story running gag.

Similarly, she appears on ''Undefined Fantastic Object'''s Steam page as [https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/1100160/ss_2ef88b632f5d1e53b7fc715196fc46d3afe95f45.600x338.jpg?t=1590144027 one of the preview images], presumably to surprise any would-be buyers of the game. It is unknown if this is an in-story [[canon]] ability or just an out-of-story running gag.
