She's a type of youkai that would ordinarily bring wealth to the home it's settled down in, and warn you about any misfortune that would occur in advance.

The Zashiki-warashi on an Outing Enju Shirokane Species: Zashiki-warashi (self-proclaimed) A youkai who claims to have come from the Outside World. Her true identity is the "Oshira-sama" that's long resided in the house of Himawari Mitsudaira, the incident's main perpetrator. Though she has the appearance of a young girl, she acts more mature than this would indicate, and often displays a pompous attitude. This has also led to her being called a "remote control-hiding youkai", but she stubbornly insists that she's a zashiki-warashi. Since she's a being that both protects her house and causes huge trouble if she's treated poorly, the Mitsudaira family has always treated her with utmost respect. |

Additionally Shuki incorporates several elements of a youkai called Shunobon (lit. "scarlet tray"). Shunobon is said to be a terrifying demon with red skin, a single horn, a terrifying smile (Shuki uses a tray in her spellcard that is modeled after Shunobon's face) and spiky hair. They also love scaring people to death and the gnashing of their teeth sounds like thunder. Shunobon are considered to be servants of the kamehime.

患わし邪魔のプリンセス |
Maki Minawashiro (水縄城 万亀 Minawashiro Maki), introduced in-game as Princess Yamou (病悩御前 (やもうごぜん) Yamou-gozen), is the Stage 4 boss.
Concept
Maki is largely based on the kamehime (亀姫, lit. "turtle princess") said to have lurked in Inawashiro Castle of Fukushima Prefecture (also known as Kamegashiro, lit. "turtle castle"). She also incorporates elements of Kamehime, the real-world daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
She and the Stage 5 boss, Nueko, represent the crane and turtle mentioned in the lyrics of the Japanese children's song "Kagome, Kagome"; in particular, they parallel an urban legend about how the song's lyrics are coded directions to the location of the Tokugawa clan's legendary buried treasure, with the directions involving a turtle and crane statue located at Nikkō Tōshōgū.
- Name
Her surname Minawashiro is comprised of kanji meaning "water rope castle", and is a pun on the real-world location of Inawashiro.
Her first name, Maki, is comprised of kanji meaning "ten thousand" and "turtle", and is based on a Japanese legend that states that tortoises/turtles live for ten-thousand years.
Her title, "Yamou-Gozen", literally means "young lady of sickness". It is a play on Kamehime's historical title, Kanou-Gozen (加納御前, "young lady of Kanou domain"), and "Mount Yamou" (lit. "sickness mountain"), a historical name for the volcanic Mt. Bandai.

Nueko is based on the golem, an animate being made of clay originating in Jewish folklore. She is specifically created from the rubble of Aizuwakamatsu Castle (also known as Tsurugashiro, lit. "crane castle"), which served as a major Edo-period stronghold for the Tokugawa shogunate and was eventually destroyed in the Battle of Aizu.
She and the Stage 4 boss, Maki, represent the crane and turtle mentioned in the lyrics of the Japanese children's song "Kagome, Kagome"; in particular, they parallel an urban legend about how the song's lyrics are coded directions to the location of the Tokugawa clan's legendary buried treasure, with the directions involving a turtle and crane statue located at Nikkō Tōshōgū.
- Name

東頌歌 ~ Only Edo,Gong J-ode! |
Himawari Mitsudaira (光平 向日葵 Mitsudaira Himawari) is the Stage 6 midboss, Stage 6 boss and Extra Stage midboss.
Concept
Himawari is a young modern-day itako, a type of female spirit medium in Japan. As the game's final boss, she represents the leaders of the Tokugawa shogunate.
During Stage 6, she wields a replica of the Ark of the Covenant in the form of a bow. This is inspired by urban legends and conspiracy theories about the Tokugawa clan's legendary buried treasure. According to such theories, the lyrics of the song "Kagome, Kagome" indicate Nikkō Tōshōgū's location at the center of a hexagram (a kagome pattern) drawn between major temples built by the Tokugawa, followed by a statue on the shrine grounds that includes a crane and turtle. Certain niche speculation draws further links between the hexagram and the Star of David, as well as the statue's superficial resemblance to the Ark of the Covenant, and posits that the Tokugawas were linked to one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
- Name
Her surname Mitsudaira is comprised of kanji that mean "light" and "flat", and is likely in reference to the Matsudaira clan, of which Tokugawa Ieyasu was the chieftain. Her first name, Himawari, means "sunflower".

The Greatest Azusa Archer of Heretical Teachings Himawari Mitsudaira Species: Human A girl worshiped by youkai as "Her Lordship". In reality, she's a human with spiritual powers who came from the Outside World. She has talent for what's colloquially known as shamanism: she's able to hear the voices of things like dead spirits With that said, though, the fantasy-denying Outside World was home to few humans who believed in her power. One day, as she was engaged in her usual training, a mysterious voice spoke directly into her mind. "I am your ancestor, Tosho-Daigongen. This world is filled with suffering. You shall use your power to save it! Due to her overconfidence in her own power, she became convinced that "this must be guidance from her glorious ancestor!", There, she met a tengu who called herself the "Chancellor", and discovered the Tokugawa clan's lost buried treasure-- the Holy Ark-- under her instruction. The noble cause of returning happiness to the populace, in order to correct the history that had gone so wrong. "No, that doesn't matter to me at all. Thus, she began working as the "Lord" of the Neo-Gensokyo Bakufu. *Holy Ark's ability: Breaking down walls In the current incident, she shone the Ark's light to destroy "the wall between raw materials and finished products", transforming the plants throughout Gensokyo into modern buildings. |

Prodigal Itako who Laments the Fleeting World Himawari Mitsudaira Species: Human While she initially acted out of defiance towards the world at large, she eventually came to lament the world's state in a much more seriously-considered way.

Concept
Kagami is based on Tenkai, a Tendai monk who served as advisor to several Tokugawa shoguns, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, and is said to have made numerous decisions regarding politics and architecture during their reign. Like other such priests who had a large impact on politics, he is at times referred to as a "Chancellor in Black Robes" (黒衣の宰相). Certain theories linking the Tokugawa clan's buried treasure to the song "Kagome, Kagome" interpret parts of the song's lyrics as veiled references to Tenkai's name (eg. linking the "crane and turtle" to the kanji 天 (ten, "sky") and 海 (kai, "sea").
In addition, Kagami incorporates real-world speculation about one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel having migrated to Japan, which is sometimes linked to the above theories via details such as the kagome hexagram's resemblance to the Star of David.
- Name
Her surname Ashina is taken from the real-world Ashina clan from which Tenkai was born, and is spelt with kanji meaning "reed" and "name". Her first name Kagami is comprised of kanji meaning "mirror" and "sea".
Her honorific title, Seijoubou-Kyoukai, is a reference to Tenkai's title Nankoubou-Tenkai (南光坊天海, lit. "Tenkai, the priest of southern light"), and can be translated as "Kyoukai, the priest of clear, straight lines". "Kyoukai" is spelt with the same kanji as her given name, "Kagami".

Gematria Master in Black Robes Seijoubou Kyoukai (real name: Kagami Ashina) Species: Long-nose tengu Once, far across the ocean, there was a tribe of people who were skilled at magic that manipulated numbers. Amongst those ancient people were a few who fled to the far East, and she is their last living descendant. By finding humans with great spiritual affinity and giving the Ark to them, they were able to rule over history. If they avoided directly standing at the top, they could avoid various risks that came with it. However, after that long, long era of tranquility, the Ark's power was gradually forgotten, and their clan began to wither. As the sole survivor, she thought: She snuck into Gensokyo, and while doing various miscellaneous tasks such as accounting as a desk clerk in tengu society, she stayed on the lookout for a chance to resurface. In the end, her ambition was halted by Gensokyo's native residents. |

Concept
Chifune is based on Osakabe-hime, a youkai woman who inhabits Himeji Castle.
She's said to be a recluse who hates meeting people, thus she prefers spending her time hidden away, but will come down once a year to meet with

- Name
Her first name, Chifune (千富袮) roughly translates to "thousand wealth shrine". The "ne" (袮) kanji is considered a "phantom kanji" (JIS kanji of unknown origin and which have no discernable pronunciation) but it has been given meanings such as "ancestral shrine" or "embroidery".
Osakabe (長壁) translates to "long-wall", and is derived from her the name of her basis "Osakabe-hime" (長壁姫 lit. "Lady Longwall").
In terms of her nickname, "Tenju" (天樹) translates to "sky tree". It's a reference to the Tokyo Skytree, a broadcasting and observation tower located in Sumida, Tokyo, and the tallest structure in Japan.
"Kata" (方) is an honorific term meaning "lady" or "princess".
