Nitori is a very shy Kappa who lives at Youkai Mountain. In fact the first time she sees the heroine she runs off with barely a word. She's good-natured enough, but has an odd way of showing it when she tries to scare the heroine away from the mountain via danmaku and spell cards. It's for the heroine's own good though as the mountain is a very dangerous place for humans and Nitori just didn't want her to get hurt. She actually likes humans, she just doesn't seem to know how to act around them.

Fun Facts

  • The characters for Kawashiro means "River castle". Nitori is in hiragana; there is a home furnishing chain store named Nitori in Japan, but it seems she has nothing to do with this store.
  • Her name might have originated from Ryunosuke Akutagawa's novel Kappa where the second chapter begins with the sentence 「そのうちにやっと気がついてみると、僕は仰向けに倒れたまま、大勢の河童にとり囲まれていました。」(Sono uchi ni yatto kigatsuite miru to, boku wa aomuke ni taoreta mama, taisei no kappa ni tori kakomarete imashita.) "When at last I came round, I found myself lying on my back surrounded by a large number of kappas." — from the translation by Seiichi Shiojiri.
  • Nitori is also a Latin word defined as either "brilliance, brightness, glow; splendor" or "perseverance; reliability", all fitting things to associate with such a brilliant engineer.
  • Nitori's "Optical Camouflage" spell cards may refer to another aspect of kappas that Akutagawa writes about: "But what is most remarkable about kappas is that unlike human beings they change colors according to their surroundings."
  • Her backpack resembles a tortoise shell. Isn't that fitting for a kappa?
  • As traditional depictions of kappa have a bare spot with no hair at the top of their heads, rumor has it that her hat is concealing a bald spot. However, ZUN discredited this rumor during a discussion on 2ch after Mountain of Faith was released.
  • Some fanworks depict her carrying a Pepsi Ice Cucumber in place of the reed she normally has. (In Japanese folklore, kappa love cucumber; this is also referenced by Nitori's "Monster Cucumber" spell card.) She's also sometimes depicted wearing a school swimsuit under her dress.
  • One of the earliest fan-made vocal arrangements of Nitori's theme music had lyrics that translate as "Kappappa kappappa Nitori, you get more than you pay for with Nitori." The latter part is from the slogan of the above mentioned Nitori store chain, and several doujinshi have made it into something of an unofficial slogan for her as well. A reference to "kappappa kappappa" subsequently appeared in Subterranean Animism.

Super Youkai Warhead

Nitori Kawashiro

Species: kappa
Ability: power to control water

A kappa that lives on the mountain.
Recently, the kappa heard some news that greatly excited them. According to the gods of the mountain, they were about to complete a high-temperature nuclear furnace underground. They wanted to get their hands on it as soon as possible to perform various tests with it.

However, the kappa didn't want to go underground where the oni lived. As they were wondering how they could investigate the underground, they heard a rumor that Reimu would be going underground at the request of the other youkai.

Ever taking the initiative, Nitori decided to go convince Marisa to explore underground, since she didn't seem to have anything better to do.
