General Information

Kyouko Kasodani is a youkai that embodies mountain echoes and is able to reflect sound waves. She appears to be a recent newcomer to Myouren Temple, though no reference is made to the characters already living there; with mountain echoes no longer being seen as strange, she decided to enter the Buddhist discipline. She seems to be responsible for cleaning duties and confronting trespassers, such as the player in stage 2 of Ten Desires.

Other Information

Name and Concept

  • The characters for Kasodani literally mean "Ghost Valley", and Kyouko "Echoing girl". The 2 kanji characters for her surname are separated from the 2 characters for her name, but if you put them all together minus the last kanji, you will get the ateji spelling of "yamabiko" (幽谷響), the name of her species, which is now normally spelled as やまびこ or 山彦. [informative link (1) (2)]

Trivia

  • When Kyouko is ready to launch her next wave of an attack, her sprite is animated to make a shouting motion. Her ears vibrate extremely fast, almost like a blur.
  • On Kyouko's lifebar, her surname is incorrectly written as "Kasoya".

Fandom

  • Because of her ears, portraying her as a canine, with the addition of a tail and/or other dog attributes, is common.

This is despite the fact that a Yamabiko is not a dog.

Kyouko Kasodani  ○2面ボス  読経するヤマビコ


   幽谷 響子(かそだに きょうこ)
  Kasodani Kyouko

   種族:山彦
   能力:音を反射させる程度の能力

  山に登ったときに「ヤッホー!」と大声をだした事があるだろうか。その時「Yahoo!」と発音の良い返事が返ってきたら、それは妖怪山彦の仕業である。

  彼女は山に棲み、どこからか楽しげな声が聞こえると、大声を出して返事で応えてあげるノリのよい妖怪である。

  最近は「ヤマビコは音波が反響しているだけだぜー」なんていう迷信が流行しているため、彼女は世俗に空しさを覚え仏門に入る事にした。

  彼女の能力はお経を唱えることと相性が良い。毎日、山で読経したりしている。

  その所為で最近では「誰も居ない山でお経を唱える声が聞こえる」と怖がられるようになり、妖怪としての面目を保つことになった。

 ○2nd stage boss  Sutra-Reciting mountain spirit


  Kyouko Kasodani


  Species: Yamabiko
  Ability: Power to reflect sound waves

  You may have loudly shouted "Yahoo-!" when climbing a mountain. If a response "Yahoo-!" comes back to you, then it must be a work of Yamabiko.


  She lives in the mountains, and when she hears a joyous sound, she replies back with a loud voice. A good youkai with kind heart.

  But these days, superstitions like "Yamabiko (mountain echoes) is just a reflection of sound waves coming back to you-" have become common beliefs. Realizing the emptiness of secularism, she decided to enter the Buddhist discipline.

  Her ability works well with reciting Buddhist sutras. It is her everyday work in the mountains.


  And by doing so, she was feared recently as "a sutra-reciting voice coming from a mountain where nobody is living", so she was able to retain her place as a youkai.
