Curiosities of Lotus Asia (Chapter 2)

Tokiko (朱鷺子) is a minor, unnamed character who only appears in Curiosities of Lotus Asia. She is probably just one of the many weak youkai in Gensokyo, but seems to value and enjoy books.

Concept

Name

Her true name is unknown, but Tokiko (朱鷺子) is a popular name for her among the fanbase. toki (朱鷺) means "crested ibis", a bird which she resembles in appearance and ko () means "child". Also, she was referred to on the Japanese Wikipedia on the Curiosities of Lotus Asia article as the "Unnamed Book-Reading Youkai" (名無し本読み妖怪 Nanashi hon yomi yōkai) and later as "The Youkai Who Read a Book" (本を読んでいた妖怪 Hon wo yonde ita yōkai). "Unnamed Book-Reading Youkai" is, however, still a popular name to refer to her.

Appearance

In Curiosities of Lotus Asia, Tokiko has white hair that is partly blue, red eyes, and wears a black dress with blue trim. She also appears to have wings on her back, small horns on her head, and what appears to be a single wing on the rear of her head, possibly meant to represent the ibis' crest on the back of its head.

Story

Curiosities of Lotus Asia

In Curiosities of Lotus Asia, Tokiko was beaten and robbed by Reimu Hakurei, who then sold the books she stole to Rinnosuke Morichika. After showing at Kourindou to reclaim her books, she was presumably beaten up once again, this time by Marisa Kirisame.

Additional Information

Trivia

  • While shown as a weak youkai, after retaliating and causing damage to Reimu Hakurei when the miko originally thought the fight would be an easy one, she at least proved more formidable than Reimu first thought.

Fanon

  • She's often shown hanging around Kourindou in fanworks, usually arguing with Rinnosuke Morichika about taking her books back, or taking a liking to the store.
