"It ain't magic if it ain't flashy. Danmaku's all about firepower."
— Marisa Kirisame (Perfect Memento in Strict Sense)
Marisa Kirisame (霧雨 魔理沙, Kirisame Marisa) is an ordinary human magician who specializes in light and heat magic and currently resides in the Forest of Magic. She is considered to be the deuteragonist of the Touhou Project series along with the main protagonist, Reimu Hakurei.
General Information
Personality
Outwardly, Marisa is an outgoing and informal person. Hieda no Akyuu states that her personality is condescending, but she has a sophisticated side to her that tends to be interesting.[2] She socializes with many inhabitants of Gensokyo and is friendly to both human and non-humans individuals. She's quick to act if she hears or sees anything interesting,[3] sometimes doing dangerous things to satiate her interest at the time like when she follows an eagle on a whim in the middle of a blizzard.[4] She speaks in an informal manner and typically uses the sentence ending particle ze (ぜ). "Ze" used at the end of verb stems delivers a "boyish" and "impolite" sound to the listener/reader. Ze is mostly used in a context to express one's will to act (similar to "let's" in English), and using it in other cases sounds somewhat unnatural, perhaps "phony" or "showy".
In the past, Marisa was known to be a habitual liar, such as when she claimed to be Reimu Hakurei to avoid being troubled by Flandre Scarlet[5] or when she blamed various crimes on Alice Margatroid to get Reimu out of the way.[6] When Reimu summoned birds that she claimed to be celestial’s familiars, they started biting Marisa because "they gather around people who tell lies".[7] She even got judged by Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu for it, saying that if she was her judge at that moment Marisa would be punished for lying with her tongue being removed[8] — an event that led her being more honest for some time.[9]
She has a mania for collecting things and exhibits knowledge of various valuable and/or magical objects around Gensokyo. She has been frequently seen foraging (or looting) in many places for various materials, be it mushrooms, parts of a dragon,[10] or just whatever she thinks looks interesting at the time. That said, her hoarding habit does result in her not knowing or forgetting what objects are in her house.[2]
Though she goes to great lengths to hide it, Marisa is a hardworking individual who frequently seeks to better herself and seeks to be known as a great magician.[11] She takes pride in her magic and youkai extermination capabilities, claiming to be "the number two in Gensokyo".[12] In many cases, she is the one who would push Reimu to investigate potential incidents. Doremy Sweet states that Marisa's Dream World self, a manifestation and exaggeration of her real personality, is always performing superhuman acts, leading her to wonder if perhaps Marisa is captivated by youkai.[13]
ZUN writes Marisa as straightforward and much easier to understand than other characters, typically filling the support role. She also serves as a contrast to Reimu, who's blessed with innate abilities, by being the hard-working type of character without any special powers. ZUN has said that this makes her a rather "un-Touhou-like" character, but also gives him much more leeway in creating a story.[14] ZUN even affirmed that Marisa serves as an audience surrogate of sorts, and helps them by asking questions.[15]
Abilities
- Using magic
Although Marisa is a normal human with no innate abilities, her true strength is her high magic power, unusual for humans.[2] Marisa has trained herself in magic that specializes in light and heat. She is an Eastern magician who takes a Western approach to magic, the opposite of Patchouli Knowledge.[Ref. Needed] Her magic has tremendous power and few weaknesses, but it has few non-destructive uses, so she uses it for flashy youkai extermination more than anything. Her magic makes for a good danmaku show, but this is made possible only through her strenuous honest effort in creating layered effects.[2] The majority of her spells rely on power over finesse and are themed after stars and other astronomical phenomena. Unlike Reimu, her strength comes not from natural ability, but from hard work and training, something she goes to great lengths to hide.[16][17][18][2]
Marisa picks and collects various exotic mushrooms that live in the Forest of Magic. She boils them, crushes them, dries them, and furthermore mixes them, making strange chemicals or medicine. By heating them, submerging them into water, or by throwing things in directly, through trial and error, she finds a pattern from which magic-like materials come forth. Success or failure, she records the details of each experiment in many various handmade grimoires (notebooks). Marisa states that her abilities lend their power from the Forest of Magic itself.[2]
Prior to starting her research in The Grimoire of Marisa, Marisa did not use complex slave-type attacks, as she was only capable of using slaves that circle around her (her guest appearance in Shuusou Gyoku notwithstanding).[19][20]
Although magicians are known for their magical abilities, she notably does not lack physical strength. In Forbidden Scrollery, she was seen climbing youkai mountain manually (instead of just flying),[21] and climbs down Genbu Ravine instead of flying like Reimu.[22] In Marisa's otter route of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, Urumi Ushizaki tried to drown Marisa using her stone baby but ends up failing and being amazed that Marisa is able to hold onto it despite its weight.
- Flying
Marisa is almost always depicted as riding on her broom when she flies in the sky. In the fighting spinoffs prior to Hopeless Masquerade she rides a broom only during some of her assault skills, like Witch Leyline and Stardust Reverie. However, the more recent aerial fighters show Marisa making an extensive and continuous use of her broom, to the point that there isn't a single moment in which she isn't riding or holding it. In Great Fairy Wars, her broom is nowhere in sight. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states she uses the magic broom to ride around on because she believes it's an essential tool for a magician. There were instances where Marisa got in trouble for not having her broom at hand.[23]
In the PC-98 games, she's typically shown to use a vine in place of her broom in her boss appearances (with the notable exception of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream where she has illusionary wings instead), but her Lotus Land Story and Mystic Square endings show her using a broom. In Shuusou Gyoku, she's depicted with angel wings.
- Speed
Marisa seems to take pride in her own speed,[24] which is potentially among the fastest for a human. When she used Double Spark against Watatsuki no Yorihime, she moved some meters away from the first laser fast enough that she was able to shoot a second one before the first reached the Moon princess.[25] However, Aya Shameimaru is considered the fastest in Gensokyo, even by ZUN[26] and Marisa appears to consider Aya extremely fast,[27] and a worthy challenger in terms of speed,[24] so while there is the idea that Marisa is quite fast, there are other characters that are faster than her.
Marisa's high speed is echoed in the games, usually by giving her the fastest or one of the fastest movement speed(s).
- Learning other people's moves
A comparison between the originator of an attack and Marisa's copy of it.
Marisa's Love Sign "Non-directional Laser" was copied from Patchouli Knowledge's regular attack from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil as confirmed by ZUN.[28] Other than that, there are also others suggested to have been stolen; Love Sign "Master Spark" greatly resembles Yuuka Kazami's and Gengetsu's laser from Lotus Land Story, her "Orreries Sun" resembles Mima's orreries, and "Cold Inferno" resembles Remilia Scarlet's familiar in Imperishable Night. However, there's no official evidence that these are copied moves.
It's unknown if Marisa is inherently talented at imitating others' moves, or if she simply manages to do so due to sheer effort. She uses her mini-Hakkero to use the Master Spark,[29] while Yuuka uses her version of the laser through other means. Thus, her copying of the Master Spark seems more analogous to a person copying the ability of an animal making a tool for it, instead of developing such ability. Marisa also states that she can't imitate Kaguya Houraisan's spell cards as they use special items that she doesn't possess.[30]
It's unlikely her implied tendency to copy other's moves is abnormal, as magicians such as Marisa build upon the work of others. Marisa claims in The Grimoire of Marisa that it's "magicians who build on observation", while Patchouli Knowledge uses the pride of magicians to add their own original touch to another's work while preserving and respecting the original,[31] apart from seeking the truth .[32] They act like researchers in this sense, building upon the work of others. However, other magicians such as Patchouli and Alice Margatroid haven't been depicted using imitations as blatant as Marisa's for spell cards.
Occupation
Marisa, as someone close to youkai, specializes in jobs dealing with them. She does state in Strange and Bright Nature Deity's 9th chapter that she regularly goes to the Hakurei Shrine to take away Reimu's youkai extermination jobs, something affirmed by Hieda no Akyuu in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense. Additionally, it is stated that some humans make a profession or a side job out of provide aftercare or preventive measures to youkai attacks. Marisa (like Reimu) engages in this business, though her methods differ from hers - she is shown selling a magic "sealing pot" that wards off tanuki.[33]
She has also written a book called The Grimoire of Marisa that reviews various spell cards and has shown a desire to try and sell it.[11][34]
- Kirisame Magic Shop
Marisa runs a shop for anything as an attachment to her own house. Although it's her primary occupation, she's usually absent. Inside the shop, it's so unimaginably disordered that it becomes like a mini-Forest of Magic.[2]
Though Marisa is surprisingly honest with her services, refusing to take payment for a failed job, the shop sees little use due to its difficult-to-find location in the Forest of Magic and the ambiguity of what her services actually are (there's nothing on its door except for a signboard, with the name of the shop and "will do anything" (なんかします).[35] The Three Fairies of Light were the first customers to her shop, but Perfect Memento in Strict Sense implies she's had other customers since then, albeit not many.
- Burglary
According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Marisa boldly breaks in from the front and openly says her motto "I'll be borrowing these!" while carrying things off. She mostly steals books, so she might not be the kind who steals money. When called a burglar, she defended herself implying she is only a "prowler" and that she only takes stuff borrowed until she dies.[36] However, she called herself a thief at least twice,[37] especially when the situation asked her to be more honest[9]
In Subterranean Animism's Extra Stage, Koishi Komeiji asked if she was the "doll-using thief". Afterwards, when there was nobody at the Moriya Shrine, she crept in, but was discovered by Kanako Yasaka and the others and was harshly punished.
She tried to steal from Kasen Ibaraki upon learning about the hermit's treasures, but got lost and was attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after she tried to kill it for its pelt.[38]
Possessions
Throughout the series, Marisa has gathered a large collection of rare and magical items, originating from her kleptomania.
- Magic broom
Marisa flies on a bamboo broom as part of her magician appearance. It's an ordinary broom, but constant exposure to magic has caused a curious growth to begin. Although the bamboo is dead, leaves appear to be sprouting from the handle, independently from Marisa's magic.[2] In the fighting games, it serves additional purposes - she uses it as a weapon for striking and shooting danmaku.
- Mini-Hakkero
Main article:
Mini-HakkeroThe mini-Hakkero, Marisa's treasured item, is a furnace that she uses to power her signature Master Spark. From the flame of a table-top stove, to that of a flamethrower, to a powerful and unmatched wide magicannon, the mini-Hakkero has a convenient range of uses.[2][39] Marisa herself said, "I can't even think of makin' a livin' without it."[40] It was given to Marisa by Rinnosuke Morichika as a farewell gift when Marisa left her family to live in the Forest of Magic.
- Magic Wand
Marisa wielded a magic wand during her PC-98 appearances, but afterwards, it was not seen again until Undefined Fantastic Object, and has not been seen since.
- Explosive items
Marisa carries, concealed in her skirt or her hat, various small implements made from mushroom magic which explode after throwing them. Hieda no Akyuu notes the fact that she conceals exploding objects in her skirt seemed dangerous.[2]
- The Sword of Kusanagi
Marisa, in her pursuit of collecting metal objects to find Hihi'irokane, obtained The Sword of Kusanagi but thought it was just a rusty sword. Not knowing its true value, she traded it along with her other scrap metal to Rinnosuke in order to have her Mini-Hakkero fixed.[41]
- The Lunar Capital Occult Ball
After the events of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, Sagume Kishin has gifted her the Occult Ball that she created. It had the power to change the world by using people's words, and merely being near it would cause false rumors, such as urban legends, to materialize.

A Being made of Magic and Red Dream - Marisa Kirisame
The unstoppable magician that longs for Mima and calls her "Mima-sama" (Which part of her is unstoppable, don't ask.) She's quite an ordinary human girl, who can just control some devastating magic. As is the nature of a magician, she's very intelligent, but does not act cynically nor sets off a Cobalt Bomb while shouting "You insolent human!!"
This time, she is interested in the magic power flowing out of the Fantastic Ruins.

She's very intelligent, and is looking for power, but is still a child. What she does in her daily life is unknown.
She looks even younger than Reimu, but their ages are very close.
I think they both are a bit off from average...

Magician of Red Dreams Marisa Kirisame
A magical girl living in the east. She's a girl who's attached to power, confident enough to like showing off her power, and is always looking for someone to fight with and someone to mock.
However, the truth is she's a hard worker and her power is the result of her secret training.
Because of this, she often gets jealous of Reimu who never trains but still exceeds Marisa with her talent alone, and always tries to get in Reimu's way.
Surprisingly, Marisa is very attached to Reimu at the same time, so much that she'd die of boredom without her.

The Strange Magician, Marisa Kirisame
A girl who lives in isolation from other people, as is the fate of a magician.
Basically, her wits are sharp, but she generally does not make the best use of them in her daily life.
As a being whom humans are going to forget about, she is not going to interfere with them willingly. She's content doing the things she likes.
Above all else, Reimu is her favorite "plaything"[42] (?), so she often goes to hang out with her.
Weapons are magic. I live because everything in life is playful.

This girl is also one of the protagonists. These two (Marisa and Reimu) are the heroines of the Touhou series.
Marisa has a very contrarian, uncooperative personality, and she really is a pretty bad person.
Although she's human, she remains distant from other humans. It's questionable as to whether she really is human, but she is.
This time she's wearing something resembling an apron, so it's hard to tell if she's a magician or what.

Ordinary Magician, Marisa Kirisame
An ordinary girl. The cold weather (or rather, the extra layers of clothing) weakens her abilities somewhat.
Her motivation in life is developing uses for magic that aren't beneficial to society. Also eco-friendly, too.
One of her recent great magic spells summoned a hot spring vein underneath her house to use as a floor-heating device.
She's actually a hard worker, as well as an avid collector.
There are many precious grimoires and other magic items she has collected from all sorts of places all around her house. However, she doesn't use them.
Magic is her weapon. For the time being, her aim is to create a new elixir.
- Both of her spell card types are certainly not lacking in damage. She's also the character with the highest speed.
- "Magic Napalm" isn't very effective against moving targets.
- Love Sign's "Illusion Laser" continues to hit enemies with its afterimage, so it's easy to continuously damage the enemy, making it quite useful.
- Also, "Master Spark" is a powerful bomb that can deal the highest damage with good stability.

年々、蒐集癖が酷くなっていく気がする。
滅多に人を招き入れる事の無い霧雨邸は、幻想郷の森（通称 魔法の森）の中にある。こぢんまりとした建物である。
建物の中は、とてつもなく雑然としていて、地震でもあればアイテムの雪崩に押しつぶされそうである。
マジックアイテムは一箇所に集めると、それぞれが干渉して性質を弱めたり強めたり、また、別の性質を持つ事がある。この家には魔理沙も知らない力を持ったアイテムが眠っているかもしれない。
ちなみに、冬にこもって製作していた丹は、ちょっと大きすぎて飲み込めなかったようである。要改良。

An Ordinary Black Magician
Marisa Kirisame
Mainly she possesses the ability to use magic.
A bit of an ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She has a mania for collecting things.
It looks like her mania for collecting things is getting more serious after each year.
Her house, which she rarely invites anyone into by the way, is located in the forests of Gensokyo (a.k.a. Forest of Magic). It's a bit on the smallish side. The interior is extremely disordered, and would cause an avalanche of collected items if an earthquake hit.
When magic items are gathered in one place they tend to interfere with each other, causing their powers to amplify, weaken, or in some cases even develop completely different powers. Due to this fact, this house may hide items that even Marisa herself never imagined possible.
On another topic, the elixir she had been secretly developing during the winter ended up being too large for consumption. More improvement is required.

普通の魔法使いさん。人が余り寄りつかない魔法の森にある家に籠もって、日々魔法の研究を続けている。
性格は、負けず嫌いで意地の悪い所もあるが、根は真っ直ぐ。何処に行っても迷惑がられるが、実際に迷惑な行動も多い。
森に籠もる理由の一つは、人が寄りつかないからである。研究中に邪魔が入って欲しくないし、人に会いたいときは自分から出掛ければいい。掛ける専用の携帯電話みたいな物である。でも、余所では色々と邪魔をする。何処に言ってもだ。
スピードとパワーはあるが、体術は余り得意ではない。移動は速くてもいかんせん技が重い。パワーは魔法を纏う事で必要以上にカバーしている。

Ordinary Magician
Marisa Kirisame
Species: Human
Location: The Kirisame household in the Forest of Magic
Ability: Ability to use magic
An ordinary magician. She usually cloisters herself in her house located at the Forest of Magic, where there are almost no visitors, and researches magic.
Her personality is unyielding and obstinate, but deep down she is an honest person. She's treated like an annoyance wherever she goes, but in fact she often causes the annoyance to begin with.
One of the reasons she stays in the forest is because no one bothers to go there. She doesn't want to be disturbed while she's doing research, and when she wants to meet others she can always go there herself. She's like a send-only cell phone. However, she causes a disturbance at other places, wherever she goes.
She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique. While her movement is fast, her attacks are slow. She covers for her lack of physical strength with magic, but the amount of enhancement is actually overkill.

Ordinary Magician, Marisa Kirisame
A magician.
A human living in the Forest of Magic. She can use magic.
She spends her days rummaging through the items and books in her house, trying to develop magic that would be useful for cleaning her disheveled room. Needless to say, she hasn't had any success.
She's a hard worker, as well as a collector.
She hates losing, but she also dislikes those who clearly hate losing. What a troublesome person who hates losing.
Her weapon is magic. When in the dark, she lights up the surroundings with magic.
- Notes
- She teams with Alice in this title.
- Focused speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.
- Her missile's explosion deals a good amount of damage, so it's useful for shooting swarms of enemy familiars down.
- It will kill most enemies instantly.
- Recommended for players who don't care for subtlety.

Species: Human
Ability: Ability to use magic
She's an ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She also has a mania for collecting things.
No one has any business in the Forest of Magic, so she lives there in comfortable solitude while studying to improve her magical ability.
You might imagine witches as being indoor-type people, but Marisa is a rather active outdoor-type person. She prefers a lively atmosphere over silence, but still doesn't like to be disturbed when she's studying. The Forest of Magic is the perfect place for her because almost no one bothers to visit her there. Marisa would also like to point out that, "Concealing my half-finished works is not the reason I'm living in there."

A bit past midnight, she felt a disturbance ripple through the forest. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, and she was right. Many hours later, it was still as dark as midnight, long past the time for dawn, as though the night was everlasting. She left home in a hurry to investigate this interesting night... and was a little too impatient when she met the people responsible for the unnaturally long night.

A human living in the Forest of Magic. She has the ability to use magic.
This disaster, which covered whole Gensokyo with flowers, didn't affect the forest.
The forest doesn't need a pretty plant like that, after all.
That had little effect on her, however, as she enjoys these flowers outside of the forest.

種族：人間
能力：魔法を使う程度の能力
幻想郷にすむ、ちょっと普通な魔法使い。蒐集癖を持つ。
人間が余り訪れる事の無い魔法の森に住み、魔法の研究をしながら自由気ままに暮らしている。
全ての行動は自分の為であり、異変を解決させるのも解決したいからするだけである。
今回は幻想郷の何処に行ってもまんべんなく異変が及んでいたため片っ端から自分の足で回ってみることにした。

Species: Human
Ability: Ability to use magic
A somewhat ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She also has a mania for collecting things.
She lives in the Forest of Magic where humans rarely visit, and leads a carefree life while researching magic.
Every action she takes is for herself, and she solves incidents just because she wants to do so.
This time, as disaster has covered all of Gensokyo evenly, she decided to sweep across the place.

種族：人間
能力：魔法を使う程度の能力
幻想郷に住む、普通な魔法使い。蒐集癖を持つ。
ひねくれて見えるが、内実は誰よりも真っ直ぐ。いつも黒い服を着ているが、それは魔法使いは黒だと思い込んでいるのと、汚れが目立たないと言う理由から来ている。真っ直ぐである。
今回は霊夢が動いたから勝手に動いたが、異変らしい異変は起きていない様に見える為、目的地に着いたら何を言えばいいのか考えながら山に挑んでいる。
意外と信仰心は厚い。
攻撃性能は、オプションの配置に癖のある装備で、使いこなすと強くなる装備となっています。

Species: Human
Ability: Ability to use magic
An ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She also has a mania for collecting things.
She seems a bit weird, but in reality she's the most straightforward. She always wears black clothing because she thinks that's what magic-users should do and because it hides dirt very well. Very straightforward.
This time she's just following Reimu's lead, but since this doesn't look like a typical incident, she's thinking about what she should do when she gets to the mountain.
She has a surprisingly high amount of faith.
Her fighting style generally relies on equipment that is suitable for people who likes positioning themselves. It becomes very powerful once you master it.

A magician working at the Kirisame magic shop in a forest,
far away from the Human Village.
Though she works, the shop is mostly closed.
A collector of magic items and a hardworking type, unlike Reimu.
Even then, with her competetive and straightforward personality,
she probably does not show her true self.

心を掴むのが仕事の宗教家達が喜ぶ匂いである。
彼女は先回りし、宗教家達が甘い汁を吸う前に
自らの味方を増やす闘いに出た。
特技 三度目の粉飾魔
強射撃や必殺技を使うたびに星が一つずつ点灯していき、 全ての星が点灯すると一度だけ強射撃や必殺技が強化版に変化します。
威力の増加、範囲の拡大、無敵時間の追加など、
攻撃ごとに異なる性質が強化されます。
総じて、全ての星が点灯している魔理沙は危険です。
ラストワード サングレイザー
乗っている箒で周辺をなぎ払って相手を打ち上げ、
無防備なところに最大推力で突進打撃を見舞う大技です。
なぎ払いは攻撃範囲が広く、
攻撃中の魔理沙は無敵という頼れる技です。

The Human-Representative Magician, Kirisame Marisa
The village is reverberating with sounds of the festival.
However, this festival somehow smells empty-hearted and momentary.
The religionists whose job it is to ensure the hearts of others smell like joy.
The girl anticipates it, and before the religionists taste the sweet soup,
she appeared in combat to increase her own allies.
Special skill: Three-Tiered Embellishment Magic
Each star lights up one by one when using strong ranged attacks or special attacks, and when all the starts are lit up, the next strong ranged attack or special attack will be powered up.
Depending on the attack, a different aspect of it will be strengthened,
such as its power increasing, its range enlarging, or granting a period of invincibility.
Generally speaking, Marisa is dangerous when all the stars are lit up.
Last Word: Sun Grazer
Riding on her broom, Marisa mows down the vicinity and crushes her opponent,
and when undefended, performs her strongest skill, a full-force assault.
The attack range of her sweeping through is wide,
and you can rely on Marisa to be invincible while attacking.

There’s power in firepower. A Magician with a natural talent for great firepower.
She fights with highly penetrating projectiles and power-efficient blows,

Her Occult Attack is “The Nonfiction School Horrors”.
The indescribable horrors lend Marisa a hand and with morphed appearances they come charging.

Everyone was bound to do the same. Because, of course, that would make their value shoot right up.

ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten plaque (EoSD)
もう一人の主人公です。霊夢が主人公にしては不真面目すぎるので、より人間らしいキャラクターとして設定されました。魔理沙の方が飄々としている態度を取っている様に見えますが、実際には魔理沙の方が心配性で努力家で、真面目な性格です。
霊夢とは友人でありライバルでもあります。目的も同じで、異変解決するなら二人でやれば良いのにいつも競争するようにバラバラで行動します。二人同時協力プレイ出来たら良いのにね！(笑)
|
One of the other protagonist. Reimu is too sloppy to be the only protagonist, so Marisa is designed to be a more human-like character. Compared to Reimu, she seems to be the type who doesn't give a crap. However, she's the one with a serious attitude who's actually caring and hardworking.
She's Reimu's friend, but also Reimu's rival. They both have the same goal when it comes to incident-solving, but for some reason, they're always acting on their own as if they were competing. Why don't they just work together? I wish they'd get to play co-op! (lol)

| 博麗霊夢と同じく主人公の一人の魔法使いです。寒いのが苦手で少し厚着をしています。多分、中に着込んでいるんでしょうね。そう考えてみると、妖々夢の霧雨魔理沙は少し暑苦しそうに見えます。今見るとこの時ってお下げをしていないんですね。髪の毛はボリュームがあるので切っては居ない様だけど、寒くて縛る気にならなかったのかな（よく判らない理屈）。
|
A protagonist just like Hakurei Reimu, also a proficient magic-user. She doesn't like being cold so she's wearing more warm clothes than usual. Probably worn many layers inside. Now I think about it, Kirisame Marisa in PCB looks a bit sweltering. And now I look at it, she's not braided in this particular occasion. Her hairs are as long as always so it doesn't look like she cut it, so I guess she just didn't bother to braid because of the cold (weird reasoning if you ask me).

ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten plaque (IN)
魔理沙も霊夢と同じくボスとして登場します。
魔理沙の方はボスとして出てきてもそんなに違和感がありません。
魔理沙の光技はプレイヤーよりも敵として出てきた方が映えます。
スペルカードに「シュート・ザ・ムーン」と言うのがありますが、
日本語にすると「困難に挑戦する」という意味ですが、
魔理沙はストレートに上空にレーザーを撃ちます。秀逸なネーミングだと思っています。
|
Marisa appears as a playable and a boss character same as Reimu.
Compared to Reimu, Marisa as a boss doesn't feel out of place.
Marisa's lightshow presents better when she's the boss than the player.
She has a spellcard named "Shoot the Moon",
figuratively, it translates to "challenge adversity" in Japanese
and she does so by shooting the laser right into the sky above. I think it's a brilliant name.

An ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She has a mania for collecting things.
She got her hands on an ever-changing stone.
It was an unusual presence in Gensokyo, where time had come to a standstill.
She realized the stones had the same wondrous properties as previous incidents, so she named them Wonder Stones.
Was it the Wonder Stones leaving the world in disarray, or were they the key to returning it to normal?
In any case, it was difficult to stop her curiosity on the matter.

Character Design
Name
Her full name is Marisa Kirisame (霧雨 魔理沙). Her surname Kirisame (霧雨, lit. "mist rain") means "drizzle" in Japanese. The kanji used in her given name ma (魔) is highly likely to come from the "ma" in mahou (魔法, "magic") and with ri (理) able to be interpreted as "logic/law/theory" (理, kotowari), it can be said that they deliver the idea of her being a magician. In addition, the kanji sa (沙, lit. "small sand") doesn't have an actual meaning, but it's often used in Japanese given names to get the sound/look of "girlishness" (different kanji, but the same idea is used in Minamitsu Murasa's name too).
Marisa is also a female given name with origins in the Romance languages, which is a variant of Latin "maris", meaning "of the sea", but may also mean "manly". If her name was based on this, then it's very likely to indicate Marisa's character being a mix of both Eastern and Western cultures.
Story of Eastern Wonderland had her name written as 魔梨沙 in-game, with the kanji meaning "pear". In that game's attached text files and bad endings it was written as 魔理沙. Since then, her name is still written as 魔理沙, so 魔梨沙 was likely a typo.
Design
In general, Marisa is depicted with blonde hair and yellow eyes. She wears clothes with a black and white color scheme, consisting of a black vest and skirt, white waist apron and undershirt, and a black witch hat with a white bow. Her hair is commonly braided on one side with a bow on the end. She sometimes wears dark blue clothes instead, such as in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, Subterranean Animism, or the fighting game spin offs from Hopeless Masquerade onwards.
Her exact appearance varies slightly between games and print works, such as having differently colored hat bows, varying hair lengths and style, and different aprons. In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she wears a white full apron with a black undershirt. In Perfect Cherry Blossom, she wears a pink capelet and has no braid. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View and Ten Desires, her bows are purple. She wears dark blue clothes with a blue capelet in Subterranean Animism. Her outfit in Undefined Fantastic Object has a brown apron with an 'M', brown hat bow, a red bowtie, and she carries a wand. She wears a crescent moon accessory on her chest in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. She has pink scarf and gloves and has snowflake patterns on her apron in Hidden Star in Four Seasons. In Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, she has cat-shaped patterns on her clothes and the silhouette of one in her apron. In 100th Black Market, Marisa has pale blonde hair and red eyes. Her hair flows loosely without any bows in her hair. The three rows of buttons on her outfit have been updated to be more colorful, with the upper row being yellow, the middle row being green, and the bottom row being blue. She also now has a red bowtie on her outfit. Since 100th Black Market, Marisa has mainly been depicted with red eyes.
During the PC-98 era, her debut appearance in Story of Eastern Wonderland has her depicted with red hair and eyes and wearing a purple witch's outfit with a white bow on her hat. The different outfit color can be explained with the PC-98's limited color space, as purple was often used to stand-in for black outside lineart. However, her appearance changes in Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream into having blonde hair and yellow eyes more similar to her current design. This appearance stays with her for the rest of the series, up until 100th Black Market, where her hair and eye colors are updated. Her clothes are black in Mystic Square.
Marisa's height is that of a girl in her early teens and is in the "fairly short" group. [43]
Appearances
Unless specified, Marisa has been the second playable character throughout the games.
- Story of Eastern Wonderland
Marisa's adventure in the PC-98 started in Story of Eastern Wonderland, where she was the stage 4 boss and a disciple of Mima. She was a child who was tasked to keep Reimu Hakurei from reaching Mima, but was defeated.
- Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream
Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream was where Marisa first appeared as a playable character. Marisa is one of the characters that battles others in order to be the first to reach the Ancient Ruins.There, she finds Chiyuri Kitashirakawa, who she fights with so Yumemi Okazaki could study Marisa's magic. After Chiyuri is defeated, Yumemi fights Marisa to get her home, promising that she will grant her a wish if she is defeated.
After Yumemi is defeated, Marisa first asks having her or Chiyuri as her wish, but later explains that she was joking and that she wanted a weapon from their world. Yumemi then gives Mimi-Chan to her, but Marisa decides to just ride it as she doesn’t know how to use it.
- Lotus Land Story
Lotus Land Story was where Marisa first appeared as the second playable character, which became standardised throughout the Touhou Project. Here, Marisa senses a great magic power and wishes to make it hers. She heads towards the Lake of Blood without Reimu's knowledge, and navigates through the Fantasy World beating Orange, Kurumi and Elly. She then bumps into Reimu and defeats her to arrive to Mugenkan. There, she defeats Yuuka Kazami twice.
For some unknown reason, Marisa ends up in an Unnamed Dream World. There, she meets Mugetsu, who she claims to be the creator of said world, and challenges and loses against Marisa. Afterwards, Mugetsu leaves it to her older sister to beat Marisa, but she is defeated too.
- Mystic Square
In Mystic Square, Marisa overhears Reimu planning to enter Makai to take care of a recent outbreak of demons. Interested in Makai's magic, she takes off without telling Reimu. There, she beats the gatekeeper and several residents like Louise, Alice, Yuki and Mai. Then she finds Shinki, who planned on attacking her after lying to her saying she could go home, but at the end leaves it to Yumeko. After knowing her maid got defeated, Shinki attacks her to show her “real magic”, but gets defeated.
At the end, Marisa arrives home with new magic learned from Makai to have some tea with Reimu, and as someone feared by Makai spirits.
Marisa arrives to some strange world where she has a rematch with Alice, who was confident after having her grimoire at hand, but gets defeated anyway. At the end she is hanged on the ceiling meanwhile Marisa reads her books.

She defeats Rumia and heads to the Misty Lake, where she defeats Cirno and Hong Meiling. She then enters the Scarlet Devil Mansion and defeats Patchouli Knowledge, Sakuya Izayoi and the culprit Remilia Scarlet to force the latter to stop the mist.
After seeing a strange thunderstorm near the mansion from the shrine, Marisa and Reimu decide to go back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to check. There, Marisa learns that Patchouli Knowledge circled the mansion with water to not let Flandre Scarlet leave, who Marisa defeats.
- Perfect Cherry Blossom
Marisa's back sprite in
PCBDuring the May of a seemingly endless winter in Perfect Cherry Blossom, cherry blossom petals land outside Marisa's house. She follows these petals in search of spring. Due to the weather, she gets lost and fights Letty, Chen and Alice Margatroid. However, she ended up at the entrance of the Netherworld, which she flies over after the Prismriver Sisters suggested it. There, she fights and defeats Youmu Konpaku and Yuyuko Saigyouji after learning she was the one gathering spring for the Saigyou Ayakashi. However, she finds the cherry blossoms there very pretty and decides to come back for cherry blossom viewing.
Due to an influx of ghosts from the Netherworld on Gensokyo, Reimu, Marisa and Sakuya decided to go to the Border to request her maintainer to fix it. Although she defeats her, her goal of making Yukari fix it wasn't fulfilled.
- Imperishable Night
Marisa's back sprite in
IN
Marisa's boss sprite in
INIn Imperishable Night, Alice is perturbed about the Moon, so she decides to bribe Marisa into coming along with her to find out who's responsible for the fake Moon. After defeating Wriggle Nightbug and Mystia Lorelei in their way out of the forest, they reach the Human Village, where they are attacked by Keine Kamishirasawa. After entering in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, they are confronted by Reimu Hakurei, who thinks they are the culprits. After defeating her, they entered the mansion and found Eirin Yagokoro and Reisen Udongein Inaba. Depending on what the player chooses, Marisa and Alice fight Eirin or Kaguya Houraisan after defeating the lunar rabbit.
Marisa, Alice and the others return to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost to kill boredom following Kaguya's proposal about a trial of guts. There, they “kill” Fujiwara no Mokou until she gives up.
- Phantasmagoria of Flower View
Marisa's back sprite in
PoFVIn Phantasmagoria of Flower View, the flowers are blooming out of season, but this doesn't bother Marisa much at first. She simply wants to find out who's responsible for it and will be the first to know why. She goes around in circles beating Cirno, Mystia Lorelei, Lyrica Primsriver, Reisen Udongein Inaba and others until she meets Aya Shameimaru, who tells her that the flowers are blooming because of the abnormal number of ghosts. After that, she gets attacked by Komachi Onozuka for saying that the number of ghosts in the world of living was her fault. Finally, she gets attacked by Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu after her judgement. At the end, she decides it to leave the incident be and supposedly starts lying less.
- Mountain of Faith
Marisa sees that something is bothering Reimu and finds out that a rival shrine wants to take over. Marisa isn't going to sit back and let that happen, so if Reimu isn't going to do something about it, she certainly will.
After defeating several gods and youkai around the Youkai Mountain like the Aki Sisters, Hina Kagiyama, Nitori Kawashiro and Aya Shameimaru, she arrives to the top and beats Sanae Kochiya and the god herself, Kanako Yasaka.
After hearing the rumors of a second god in the new shrine, both come back to the top of the Youkai Mountain to investigate. Marisa finds said god inside the santuary and she challenges Marisa to a danmaku battle which Marisa accepts and wins.
- Subterranean Animism
In Subterranean Animism, a geyser appears behind the Hakurei Shrine, and Reimu and Marisa are ecstatic about their newfound hot spring. The youkai, however, are less than pleased as Earth spirits begin to spew out of the geyser. Patchouli and Yukari suspect it was an attempt to lure youkai into the geyser and decide to send Marisa instead to investigate.
Marisa fights various underground youkai like Kisume, Yamame Kurodani and Parsee Mizuhashi until she finds Yuugi Hoshiguma, who tells her to go to the Palace of the Earth Spirits. There, she finds and defeats Satori Komeiji who leads her to the Remains of Blazing Hell, where Rin Kaenbyou tries to stop her. She then fights the the culprit thinking the geyser will stop if she does it.
After coming back underground and talking to Utsuho Reiuji, she claimed that she got her powers from the mountain god, so Marisa goes back to the Moriya Shrine to ask for similar powers. However, she finds Koishi Komeiji there, who fights Marisa due to her history of being a thief.
- Undefined Fantastic Object
Marisa notices a ship flying through the sky and hopes to be able to plunder it for its riches.
After wandering around the ship and beating Nazrin, Kogasa Tatara and Ichirin Kumoi, she fights the captain of the ship, Minamitsu Murasa, who informs her that the ship is going to Hokkai and lets her stay on board due to Marisa's collecting of the fallen pieces of the Storehouse. Upon arriving to Makai, she finds and fights Shou Toramaru because she thought Marisa was a thief and the now liberated Byakuren Hijiri because Marisa didn’t believe in human and youkai equality.
After discovering that the fragments seemed to change form without reason and that Byakuren didn’t know what they were, Marisa followed the snake that came out of one fragment. She then discovers Nue Houjuu, who explains the nature of UFO-like fragments and decides to join the Myouren Temple.
- Ten Desires
In Ten Desires, an influx of divine spirits will block the flower-viewing, so Marisa wants to be the first to solve it.
First, she pays a visit to Yuyuko Saigyouji in the Netherworld, who suggests her checking in the temple's cemetery. There, she finds and beats Kyouko Kasodani and Yoshika Miyako. After beating the jiang shi, Marisa finds a door to the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum. There, she fights again against Yoshika Miyako along her master. Mononobe no Futo then attacks her for protecting Toyosatomimi no Miko's tomb from thieves, and Miko followed attacking her too.
After news about the temple being right above the mausoleum and the youkai using “a trump card” to fight Miko, Marisa decides to go back to the Myouren Temple to check. There, she finds out that the “trump card” is a youkai friend of Nue Houjuu, Mamizou Futatsuiwa.
- Double Dealing Character
Marisa discovers that her Mini-Hakkero is beginning to act on its own, and believes it to be turning into a tsukumogami. After discovering that previously docile youkai have become violent, Marisa goes to investigate.
She meets youkai like Wakasagihime, Sekibanki and Kagerou Imaizumi and beats them after finding them weirdly aggressive, until she meets the Tsukumo Sisters. After defeating one of them (depending on the shoot type chosen) she points to a strange upside-down castle affirming their new power came from there. After entering the castle, she gets attacked by Seija Kijin and Shinmyoumaru Sukuna after they find out that Marisa was there to stop their rebellion.
Although Shinyoumaru was being watched by Reimu to make sure the incident doesn’t repeat, some strange clouds start appearing forming a magical storm, so Marisa goes investigate. In the Skies of Gensokyo, she finds that the cause of that storm was Raiko Horikawa changing its magic to become independent from the Miracle Mallet's magic. After defeating her and making sure she doesn’t harm humans, she lets Raiko be.
- Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom
Some probes that wither everything at their path appeared at the surface of Gensokyo, so Eirin and Kaguya decided to create an elixir for her, Reimu, Sanae and Reisen.
Marisa fights and defeat two moon rabbits, Seiran and Ringo. Afterwards, she goes to the Moon through the Dream World, where she defeats Doremy Sweet. At the capital, she gets informed by Sagume Kishin that the residents of the Lunar Capital were attacked and forced to move to Gensokyo due to the new impurity and challenges the heroine to know if she is strong enough. Afterwards, she guides her to the Sea of Tranquility. There she fights and defeats Clownpiece before the culprit, Junko appears and recognizes defeat; not without fighting Marisa anyway.
After Sagume descended to Earth to say that they couldn’t leave the Dream World, the heroines part again. In the Dream World Marisa encounted Junko again along with her “trump card”: the goddess of Hell Hecatia Lapislazuli, who sealed the lunarians inside the Dream World. After being defeated, she promises to free them.
- Hidden Star in Four Seasons
Gensokyo's seasons get crazy, so Marisa decided to investigate by herself.
After going around in circles wondering why every corner Gensokyo seems to be in a different season, she goes back to the Forest of Magic. There, she meets Narumi Yatadera and Mai Teireida. After beating the gizo, she realizes that Narumi had a backdoor in her back. After jumping in it, she enters the Land of the Backdoor and she fights Mai and Satono Nishida. After their battle, they explain that they are drawing out people’s latent abilities to
an unlimited extent by dancing behind their backs, which affected fairies too and made them go berserk. She then meets their master and she proposes her being the replacement of Mai and Satono, affirming that was her goal. After Marisa refuses, Okina attacks her saying she didn’t give her a chance.
After defeating Okina, Marisa goes back to Gensokyo without knowing much about what happened at the Land of Backdoor. Looking for answers, she enters the Land of the Backdoor again and fights Okina Matara, this time with the help of the power of the doyou, the limit between seasons.
- Wily Beast and Weakest Creature
An eagle spirit reaches Marisa to tell her that, although there is an invasion from beast spirits, he is a traitor; and he needs someone to help him stop the invasion.
In exchange, Marisa would receive a tremendous power. Marisa accepts, she is possessed by the spirit and goes to Hell to stop the invasion.
In her way to Hell, she fights Eika Ebisu and Urumi Ushizaki until she meets Kutaka Niwatari, who is guarding the gate to Hell and fights Marisa to see if she is strong enough to enter Hell. There, Marisa finds Yachie Kicchou, who claims that the enemy is in the Animal Realm and asks Marisa to follow her. In the Animal Realm, her body gets hijacked by the spirit and attacks Mayumi Joutouguu. After defeating her, Marisa meets Keiki Haniyasushin, who explains she’s a goddess that helps humans and attacks Marisa after seeing the spirit wanted to retreat. At the end, although still confused, she accepts Keiki's invitation to the Primate Spirit Garden as she finds valuable tools there.
Following the beast spirits initial attack, they seem to invade the Human Realm once for all, so Marisa goes back to Hell and meets Saki Kurokoma. After hearing that Saki is the boss of one of the beast spirits, she attacks her to make her stop the invasion, and Saki agrees to limit her target to the Animal Realm alone.
- Unconnected Marketeers
Marisa finds about cards with abilities of youkai and humans she faced before. Following her enthusiasm with collecting things, she goes to be the first to have them.
After wondering about the foothills of the Youkai Mountain, she meets Mike Goutokuji, who tells her that everybody is selling and buying those cards in the mountain. She goes uphill and beats Takane Yamashiro and Sannyo Komakusa, the latter telling her to go check the Rainbow Dragon Cave. There, Marisa finds Misumaru Tamatsukuri, who warns her the dangerous for a human to adventure in such a cave and the mining of Izanagi objects in the cave. After defeating her, Marisa decides go outside for air and follows Tsukasa Kudamaki to the top of the mountain, where she finds Megumu Iizunamaru, the creator of the cards.

The grimoire itself contains her commentaries of various character's spell cards and some of her own as well as explanations of spell card types and danmaku types.
- Wild and Horned Hermit
In Wild and Horned Hermit, Marisa regularly visits the Hakurei Shrine to talk about recent happenings, attending whatever festival happens at the time, or simply visiting Reimu. Marisa was the one who originally invited Kasen Ibaraki to visit the Hakurei Shrine more often, wishing to learn life extending techniques from the hermit, much to Reimu's reluctance.
In chapter 10, Marisa goes to the mountains to search for Hahakigi's Otherworld (actually Kasen's marker tree for her pet eagle, Kanda) and was caught in the middle of a blizzard. She ends up straying into Kasen's hidden residence by following Kanda on a whim. Despite the near death experience, she later tries to return to Kasen's house but ends up being attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after trying to kill it for its pelt.
In chapter 28, Marisa was found by Kasen in Former Hell wanting to see the underworld cherries. Kasen gave her a scolding and warned her against going there.
In chapter 34, due to Reimu seemingly having an illness caused by exhaustion (actually due to her pulling all-nighters reading books from Suzunaan), Marisa took it upon herself to cook rare food, such as hemlock salad, to help Reimu regain her spirit. The success of her cooking is debatable. Later, after Sumireko Usami summoned a flying saucer to the shrine, Marisa and Kasen spots an Unidentified Flying Object in the sky.

She also appeared in an article that's dedicated to a fight against Cirno which happened in Fairy Wars. This made Hatate Himekaidou worried of how much stronger humans have become.
- Forbidden Scrollery
Marisa is a main character in Forbidden Scrollery. In the first chapter she was the one who explained about Youma books to Reimu and reporting its appearance in Suzunaan.

It is revealed in chapter 9 that Marisa got possessed by that spirit and knocked Yuyuko Saigyouji and Alice Margatroid out. She gets tied up by Yuyuko, Satori and Youmu, but they free her when they realized that the culprit possessed Yukari before. After finding out about it, she decides to tell Reimu the danger she is in breaking into Eientei with Fujiwara no Mokou, but gets caught inside.

In chapter 60, she appears in Geidontei to see if Miyoi Okunoda would believe her when she says she sees a mist that appeared to be following her. Miyoi uses her ability and later then mist disappears. Speaking with Suika Ibuki, they hypothesize that mist was Marisa herself and that if they didn't do anything Marisa would disappear or even become a youkai.

- Note: This section is part of the Seihou Project by the Doujin circle "Shunsatsu sare do?".
- Shuusou Gyoku
Marisa in SSG
Marisa made a guest appearance as the first Extra stage boss of Seihou Project's first work Shuusou Gyoku, a danmaku game series by the doujin circle "Shunsatsu sare do?", to which ZUN contributed music. To add to this, Yuuka Kazami made a guest appearances in the next Seihou game, Kioh Gyoku.
She seems to have no view towards the Seihou World; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery, but she's aware of what the Holy Grail is. Curious why VIVIT and her master Erich want the grail, she fights her, but is defeated. She was then thudded by Reimu Hakurei for fighting at the Hakurei Shrine. Her way of speech indicates that this appearance was between Mystic Square and Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
Relationships
Marisa has met a vast majority of characters that have appeared within the Touhou Project.
- Reimu Hakurei
Reimu is a close friend of Marisa, as well as her rival when it comes to youkai extermination and incident resolution. Although it was originally Reimu's job to solely handle incidents, Marisa has taken on many of those responsibilities as well,[35] and there were even a number of times when Reimu and Marisa worked together.
When incidents aren't taking place, Marisa can be seen frequently visiting the Hakurei Shrine to hang out with Reimu. The Hakurei Shrine is a popular place of activity where festivals and parties are often held, so from time to time Marisa is shown helping Reimu set up for events.
Occasionally, Reimu and Marisa will engage in a spell card duel, such as in Stage 4 of Imperishable Night, or in the fighting games. She was initially jealous of how Reimu never does any training and yet remains strong due to her innate connection to the spiritual world as a shrine maiden, but has since developed her own techniques to match Reimu's in danmaku battle. In such regards to Reimu's immense powers, Marisa even named and added a time limit to one of Reimu's signature spells, Innate Dream.[44]
- Alice Margatroid
Alice Margatroid is a fellow magician of the Forest of Magic. They were partners in Imperishable Night, and she was supporting Marisa in Subterranean Animism. In the former, Alice called out to Marisa due to her being "used to" resolving incidents, and offered some of her grimoires as compensation. In the latter, Alice is one of the companions Marisa can have, communicating with her thanks to her dolls. They also met in Perfect Cherry Blossom, Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Touhou Hisoutensoku.
Based on their interactions, they seem to have a rivalry of sorts, arguing who is the best magician (like in Perfect Cherry Blossom), who is more serious dealing with incidents (with Alice complaining how unserious Marisa is or Marisa saying Alice cannot do anything but say her name in Imperishable Night) or just insulting each other in general. However, they seemed to argue less after Imperishable Night. Furthermore, Alice slept next to Marisa at the latter's house in the Magic Team's bad ending, tagged along with Marisa's escapes on the other endings, and even once recommended Marisa's shop to the Three Fairies of Light when they needed some youkai extermination [45] indicating that they seem to be friends. Additionally, Marisa cared for an unconscious Alice after the latter was attacked by Mizuchi Miyadeguchi[46]
- Residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion
The residents of the mansion are fully aware of Marisa sneaking into the magic library. They generally look the other way, but various incidents and win quotes from the fighting games[47][48] show that they'll fight Marisa in a duel if they actually catch her in the act. At other times, they'll simply leave her be, such as in the mansion's private parties,[49][50] or Marisa's endings in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, where Sakuya even plays along with her, either serving her food or helping to conceal her from Remilia Scarlet. She's on friendly enough terms that she can walk in without any issue from most of the residents, even if she steals things. They even let her stay in the library when it started raining once[51] Patchouli, even though she is the main victim of Marisa's burglary, seems to stand Marisa enough to help her in games like Subterranean Animism. However, Flandre Scarlet is someone that Marisa actively avoids when she's in the mansion[52]
- Rinnosuke Morichika
Rinnosuke Morichika worked for Marisa's father at his shop as an apprentice in the Human Village before leaving to start Kourindou over eleven years ago before Curiosities of Lotus Asia's Chapter 20, and he's known her since she was small. Judging from Curiosities of Lotus Asia's 22nd chapter, she must have known him in person since at least around 2001, and the 6th chapter shows that Marisa once eavesdropped on a conversation between Rinnosuke and her father during one of Rinnosuke's rare visits to the Kirisame residence when she was "very young". Marisa thinks Rinnosuke is stiff with her because of her family, but the truth is Rinnosuke keeps his guard up with her because he doesn't want her to suspect when he's lying to her,[53] particularly when it comes to her paying Rinnosuke with items that she collects.
Rinnosuke sees Marisa as something of an annoyance, as she often imposes herself on him, loiters at the store, and takes what she likes from the store without paying. In return, Marisa views Rinnosuke as being unable to admit that he doesn't understand many of the Outside World objects he identifies as part of his role at Kourindou, with his explanations often devolving into wild guesses.[54] Despite that, there still is positive familiarity within the relationship - Rinnosuke created and later gave Marisa the mini-hakkero, and Marisa is the only one to call him by the informal nickname "Kourin".
Because of Marisa's collecting habits, Rinnosuke is often able to get valuable things she picks up for quite cheap, either because Marisa is unaware of its true value, or she has no need for it. However, he does feel somewhat bad about it.[53]
- Sumireko Usami
Marisa becomes friends with Sumireko after Urban Legend in Limbo. Marisa often chats with Sumireko when she comes to Gensokyo and tries to give advice on how to talk to the local residents. They seem to have become good and playful friends such as when Marisa playfully tries to smack Sumireko after being told she looks like she's wearing a Halloween/cheap outfit as Sumireko blocks her attack while laughing playfully.[55]
- Nitori Kawashiro
Nitori Kawashiro knows Marisa from the events of Mountain of Faith. Nitori herself has a fondness for humans[56] and fancies herself as a friend of Marisa's.[57] She sent Marisa down to investigate the new energy source of the sun in Subterranean Animism, and to defeat Takane Yamashiro and her control over the ability card black markets in 100th Black Market. In addition, Nitori and her fellow kappa are seen working with Marisa throughout Wild and Horned Hermit.
- Three Fairies of Light
The Three Fairies of Light used to live in the Forest of Magic, and knew about Marisa before they'd formally met. Originally, Marisa considered the three fairies to be normal, unremarkable fairies when Marisa caught them playing pranks on Reimu and herself. However, after the fairies became Marisa's first customers at her shop where she liberated their house from Tsuchinoko, Marisa and the three fairies took a liking to each other, and became friendly acquaintances.
Eventually, Marisa began to join in on their games and sometimes even play pranks on them.[58] The fairies are familiar enough that they are shown travelling with and even clinging onto Marisa,[59][60] to the point that Reimu referred to them as "those fairies that Marisa always had hanging around". Marisa and the fairies sometimes team up to play pranks on Reimu as well.
During the stone cherries incident, Marisa was concern about the condition of the three fairies and went looking for them. She hid a stone cherry she found on the three fairies' house in her skirt thinking it was one of them. Later she attended the Fairies victory part in the three fairies house.[61]
- Enoko Mitsugashira
Enoko has known Marisa for a long time and is referred to as "more than an acquaintance" - Marisa first saw her in the Forest of Magic when she was still a wolf, and Enoko refers to Marisa's past as "that little girl who ran off crying into the woods.[62] Their relationship seems to be very good, as Enoko even let Marisa examine her jewel so Marisa, as a magic items expert, could get more information on how to cure Zanmu's curse on Enoko. Marisa continued to investigate without giving up, even if she was teleported to Hell several times due to the trap on the item, which deeply moved Enoko.[63] Marisa believes Enoko's jewel is very valuable, and that maybe if she became even closer to Enoko she would lend it to her.[64]
- Mima
In the PC-98 games, Marisa is subservient to Mima. She admires her greatly, boasting that "Lady Mima cannot be beaten" in Story of Eastern Wonderland's omake and apologizing to her when defeated by Reimu Hakurei in said game. Mima is currently the only character to be addressed honorifically by Marisa. Additionally, she takes some inspiration from Mima, sharing her attack patterns using magical orbs (as well as using them in her Orreries Sun spell card) and using illusionary wings similar to hers in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. However, they are never shown to engage in conversation with one another on-screen, the closest to it being Mima telling Marisa to "train harder" in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream and Marisa's cheerfulness when she defeats her. ZUN doesn't answer any questions regarding their relationship, but says that Marisa's attitude towards Mima is easy to understand.[65]
Minor Relationships
- Kirisame Family
Marisa's family runs a large second-hand shop in the Human Village, called the "Kirisame Shop".[66] Marisa has broken off relations with her family, and avoids everything related to them. She says to Rinnosuke Morichika that she'll never go back to them, and refuses to entertain the idea.[53]
In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it's stated that her family is a private matter and the details are unclear. The book also hypothesizes that since the Kirisame Shop doesn't handle things related to magic items, it may be one reason why Marisa left. What the Kirisame Shop actually sells and the organisation of the family haven't been made clear. However, her father has been confirmed to visit Kourindou on rare occasion. None of her family members have been mentioned by name.
- Satori Komeiji and Koishi Komeiji
After the events of Subterranean Animism in her scenarios with Nitori Kawashiro and Patchouli Knowledge, Marisa impressed Koishi enough with her strength that she's allowed to come and play at the Palace of Earth Spirits at any time. She may say she's a friend of Satori to get everyone down there to leave her alone, [citation needed] because all the underground youkai hate Satori. Although Marisa and Satori tend to put each other at unease at times, Marisa looks forward to being able to go underground whenever she wants to. [citation needed]
- Byakuren Hijiri
Byakuren is a magician, much like Marisa, although is much more experienced and, unlike Mairsa, has become a youkai. Despite an initial disagreement and misunderstanding over the status of youkai and humans in the Marisa A ending of Undefined Fantastic Object, Byakuren liked Marisa's direct personality, and in thanks for Marisa's help in breaking the seal, instructed Minamitsu Murasa to take Marisa to and from Makai whenever Marisa wanted. She also told Marisa that, as a magician, she could come see Byakuren if she ever had any trouble.
- Narumi Yatadera
By the time Narumi was introduced in Hidden Star in Four Seasons, both talk like they knew each other from before, with Marisa surprised of seeing her because she was a shut-in. Marisa also appears in the Ending No 7 talking to Narumi about what she found in the Land of the Backdoor and her thoughts on the incident.
- Mimi-chan
In the PC-98 canon, Marisa is Mimi-chan's owner, and thinks Mimi's cute. She knows that Mimi-chan's a weapon from Yumemi Okazaki's world, but has no idea how to use her, and thus rides on Mimi.
- Tsuchinoko
Marisa took in Tsuchinoko as a pet in chapter 10 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity. She thinks he's too cute to exterminate, and doesn't see why a human couldn't keep youkai as pets.

Additional Information
- Marisa's face was shown on most of the Windows game icons on the .exe files. This excludes the spin-off games, except Shoot the Bullet and 100th Black Market.
- Marisa is the second most frequent character to appear in the Touhou Project games after Reimu, with Marisa not appearing in Highly Responsive to Prayers or Gold Rush. Various exceptions would show to change these statistics such as Shoot the Bullet, in which both characters didn't appear (but Marisa was used on the .exe's icon), but the two appeared in an afterword story, and Fairy Wars had only Marisa, but Reimu was still shown in a cameo.
- Marisa has eight theme songs (excluding remixes), making her the character with the most themes along with Reimu.
- Marisa has appeared on the covers of Story of Eastern Wonderland, Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, and Lotus Land Story, as well as on the poster for Urban Legend in Limbo.
- According to Rinnosuke Morichika, Marisa was inspired to use star-themed magic after a meteor shower viewing party around the year 2001. Marisa's strategy guide in Story of Eastern Wonderland's omake says her third attack uses star magic, but she only starts to use star magic as her main motif beginning with Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. This would imply either this is a contradiction with PC-98 canon or that the last 3 PC-98 games don't take place in their release years.
- According to Hieda no Akyuu, Marisa may become a youkai magician like Alice Margatroid due to the high amount of magic she possesses.[2] In Imperishable Night, she expressed interest in immortality and eternal youth.
- Marisa holds the distinction of being one of the very few characters in any Touhou game who's known to have a living family.
- In Imperishable Night, Marisa survives looking at the full moon, which should drive normal humans insane. When Alice asks if she's alright, she says that it's alright since she's insane to begin with. She might well be joking, since Reimu Hakurei maintains her sanity looking at the full moon too. It could be that humans who are strong-willed enough can overcome that influence.
- In both Mountain of Faith and Subterranean Animism, Marisa lacks her signature bomb move, Master Spark. She regains her Master Spark as a bomb in the following game Undefined Fantastic Object.
- One of her alternate palettes in Touhou Hisoutensoku resembles Ellen from Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream.
- One of her alternate palettes in Hopeless Masquerade resembles her PC-98 outfit.
- Marisa was first seen using a wand in Story of Eastern Wonderland, Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, and Lotus Land Story. She's not seen with a wand again until Undefined Fantastic Object, which is so far the only Windows game where she's seen with one.
- Marisa seems knowledgeable about species not native to Japan such as the beaver in Chapter 4 of Wild and Horned Hermit and the rafflesia in Chapter 14 of Oriental Sacred Place.
- When introducing herself or asked who she is, Marisa often blatantly lies that she's the shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei.
- Marisa's in-game portrait in Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream is traced from the Black Nurse of Rance Series, a game made by AliceSoft.

- ↑ The word used here is 大好物 (daikoubutsu). It literally means "favorite thing", but the word usually refers to a "favorite food" or an actual object. When used in the context of a person, it gives the implication of seeing the other person like an object, like a toy. With the context of her being contrarian and a "bad person" in the おまけ.txt, the meaning likely comes to Marisa seeing Reimu as a "plaything", though still a bit ambiguous.
