Kyouko Kasodani (幽谷 響子 Kasodani Kyouko) 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 seen as strange, she decided to enter the Buddhist discipline. She now serves the Myouren Temple as a priest in-training, and is also responsible for cleaning duties and confronting trespassers, such as the player in stage 2 of Ten Desires.
Concept
Name
She is known as Kyouko Kasodani (幽谷 響子). The characters for Kasodani (幽谷) literally mean "Ghost Valley", and Kyouko (響子) "Echoing girl". "Kyouko" could have been intended as a pun, since all of her attacks are based on reflective boundaries. The two kanji characters for her surname are separated from the two 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. [1] [2]
Her surname was incorrectly written as "Kasoya" in both the demo and the first release of Ten Desires, but this was later fixed in 1.00b.
Appearance
In Ten Desires' official art, Kyouko has teal colored hair and eyes and has yamabiko ears. She wears a long pale pink shirt with teal flower-shaped buttons and a white dress below it with black trim. She carries a bamboo broom.
Occupation
Kyouko is currently a priest-in-training to the Buddhist discipline at the Myouren Temple.
Personality
Kyouko is a cheerful, dutiful, and energetic girl who reminds the heroines of the rules before attacking them. Her ability to scream out her remarks cheerfully is perceived as either unnerving or unsurprising in Gensokyo.
Story
- Ten Desires
During the events of Ten Desires, Kyouko welcomes every heroine that comes to the Myouren Temple with Danmaku in attempt to drive off the intruders. However, she is unsuccessful and allows them to investigate the graveyard behind the temple.

Relationships
Although there is no specific information about her relations with other characters, it can be assumed that she knows everyone from the Myouren Temple well.
Additional Information
Trivia
- When Kyouko is ready to launch her next wave of attacks, her sprite is animated to make a shouting motion. Her ears vibrate extremely fast, almost like a blur.
- Kyouko was featured on the official demo CD of Ten Desires.
Fanon
- 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.
- She is sometimes paired with Yoshika Miyako due to both of them appearing in the demo version.
- However, because the full version is released, pairing between Kyouko and Yoshika are now rarely seen in fanart.
