Rikako Asakura (朝倉 理香子 Asakura Rikako) is among the few people in Gensokyo who values science more than magic, though she can use both. Because of this, she's regarded as a heretic by Reimu Hakurei. Believing the ruins in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream were made by science, she ends up in the big battle to enter the Probability Space Hypervessel.
Concept
Nama
"Rika" means Science in Japanese, and "ko" is common at the end of female Japanese names. The fact that "Rika" means Science links to the fact that Rikako is a scientist. The surname "Asakura" is a common Japanese surname.
