Yuuka Kazami (風見 幽香 Kazami Yuuka) is a rather powerful and dangerous flower-loving Youkai. In Lotus Land Story, Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame break into her mansion called Mugenkan, and Yuuka defends herself. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she goes out to enjoy herself, trying to remember why the event that touches off the game's story seems familiar and prove she isn't the culprit.
Concept
Name
The characters for Yuuka (幽香) mean "dim scent" or "fragrance". Kazami (風見) literally means "wind watching" and is also the term for a weather vane.
Appearance
In Lotus Land Story's official art, Yuuka was first seen on Stage 5 with green eyes, long green hair, and wore light pink pajamas. She also carries a large pink pocket-watch with roman numerals.
On the final stage, Mystic Square and Kioh Gyoku official art, Yuuka was wearing red plaid pants and a waistcoat of the same color and pattern over a plain white shirt. In Mystic Square and Phantasmagoria of Flower View, her hair is wavy and cut to shoulder-length, and her eyes are red in Phantasmagoria of Flower View and Kioh Gyoku. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View she wore a red plaid skirt instead of plaid pants. She was seen carrying an umbrella in Lotus Land Story, Phantasmagoria of Flower View and Kioh Gyoku. She also features green and purple wings in Kioh Gyoku.
Her alternative outfit in Phantasmagoria of Flower View is same as her normal outfit, except her dress is blue.

Additional Information
Trivia
- Yuuka is the only character to appear as the boss of two consecutive stages on the same game.
- Apparently, according to conversation with Tewi Inaba in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Yuuka's umbrella is actually the only flower in Gensokyo that never withers, although that might only be a metaphor that means she never closes her umbrella.
- However, on the final stage of Lotus Land Story, she appears to close her umbrella several times during the boss battle.
- Yuuka is thought to be the originator of the spellcard "Master Spark", which Marisa Kirisame subsequently copied and made famous. Yuuka is also known for the "Dual Spark", two slightly smaller beams fired simultaneously when she makes a clone of herself during Lotus Land Story.
- Both VIVIT (From the Seihou Project) and Youmu Konpaku have pointed out to Yuuka that her outfit, or Yuuka herself, bears a resemblance to Reimu Hakurei.
- Yuuka is the only character who is canonically known to be able to take down a whole spaceship.[1]
- Though her exact age is unknown, there are many hints throughout the games and printed works that she's actually an elder youkai who's lived a very long life.
- Instead of her distinctive umbrella, she is shown with a baton when she uses a bomb in Mystic Square.
- In Mystic Square, Yuuka's player sprite is the only one outlined in blue. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she is not. In Yuuka's ending in Mystic Square, she talks about learning magic. This could be that in Mystic Square, she used her power she acquired in her dream world and in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she used magic plus getting power from the flowers in the flower fields.
- Yuuka's known for telling lies most of the time, as shown in her story mode in Phantasmagoria of Flower View.
- As Yuuka's only known spell cards were used in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she is the only spell card-using character to not have an article in The Grimoire of Marisa when it was created at that time.
Fandom
- Similar to how Yukari is called "Yukarin", Yuuka is commonly called 「ゆうかりん」 or "Yuukarin". This distinction can be lost in English if her name is spelt as "Yuka" (as in "Yukarin") instead of "Yuuka" (as in "Yuukarin").
- Many fans in Japan refer to Yuuka as the "Ultimate Sadistic Creature" (アルティメットサディスティッククリーチャー) or USC for short, often portrayed as being dominant over Alice Margatroid or Tenshi Hinanawi. Yuuka's conversation with Shikieiki Yamaxanadu in her scenario also suggests that she may be a sadist since she admits she likes to "tease" others daily. In other fanworks, Yuuka is portrayed as an insane and bloodthirsty youkai, who kills with a pleasant smile on her face. Thus, she is commonly called a Do-S (ドS) where "Do" stands for "dreadnought-class" and "S" normally stands for "sadist"). However, she is also sometimes portrayed as having a soft side, in which case sometimes people joke that the S stands for "shinsetsu" (親切) instead, which means "kindness" or "gentleness."
- Yuuka's very low speed (focused and normal) in Phantasmagoria of Flower View has become a small running meme among some fans. There's even a comic in which Aya Shameimaru teases Yuuka with "Speed over Power" while flying circles around her, with Yuuka blasting away to no avail. This even applies to her performance in fangames such as Touhou Puppet Play and Touhou Mother in which she has very low speed, but high power.
