Curiosities of Lotus Asia (Chapter 2)

Tokiko (朱鷺子) is a minor, unnamed character, only appearing 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

"Tokiko" is a popular fan name; 'toki' means crested ibis, a bird which she resembles in appearance. Her true name is unknown, but she is sometimes (more properly) referred to as "Unnamed Book-Reading Youkai" (名無し本読み妖怪).

Appearance

She 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, who then sold the books she stole to Rinnosuke. After showing at Kourindou to reclaim her books, she was presumably beaten up once again, this time by Marisa.

Relationships

Rinnosuke Morichika (Unknown)
Reimu Hakurei (Exterminator)
Marisa Kirisame (Exterminator)

Additional Information

Trivia

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

Fandom

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