Reisen (レイセン) is a moon rabbit who is the pet of the sisters Watatsuki no Toyohime and Watatsuki no Yorihime. She appears in the Touhou Bougetsushou series.
General Information
Abilities
- Moon rabbit abilities
Moon rabbits can pick up "ESP waves" with their ears, forming a sort of psychic network where they can detect feelings and rumors from other moon rabbits, no matter how far they are. Reisen notes that this is not a true form of communication, however.[1]
- Vanishing(?)
In Chapter 2 of Silent Sinner in Blue, Reisen is shown to vanish from Reimu's sight and appear behind her. It is unclear whether this is a display of speed, teleportation or some other ability.

Character Design
Name
"Reisen" (レイセン) is not her original name, but is the name she received when she became the Watatsuki sisters' pet. Her original name has not been revealed. Many unofficial romaji ("Reysen", "Rei'san", etc.) are used to distinguish the name from reisen (鈴仙), used in Reisen Udongein Inaba's name, through different spelling with identical pronunciation.
Design
Reisen has short blue hair, and red eyes. She wears the standard uniform of the Lunar Defense Corps: a black business suit over her shirt, a red tie, and a beige skirt. She has white lop rabbit ears, lacking the button-like decorations normally worn by other members of the Lunar Defense Corps.
Appearances
- Silent Sinner in Blue
Reisen fled to Earth from the Moon early in the events of Silent Sinner in Blue. She was nursed back to health by Reimu after being injured by space debris during her travel. Because of this, Eirin Yagokoro was able to learn of her presence. Since Reisen still had attachments to the moon, Eirin sent her back along with a letter for the Watatsuki sisters, warning them of Yukari Yakumo's imminent invasion. Since fleeing to Earth was a crime, she was sentenced to live as the Watatsuki sisters' pet where she was then given the name Reisen, the same name as their former pet (who is currently known as Reisen Udongein Inaba).
Reisen later appears alongside Watatsuki no Toyohime when she confronts Yukari Yakumo, and then appears again attempting to deliver a letter to Eirin Yagokoro before being confronted by Tewi.
- Cage in Lunatic Runagate
- Main article: Chapter 1
In the first chapter of Cage in Lunatic Runagate, Eirin Yagokoro spots Reisen's Lunar Veil as she travels to Earth. Shortly afterwards, Reimu Hakurei arrives claiming to have found an injured rabbit, but none of Tewi's rabbits are missing. Connecting the dots, Eirin convinces Reimu that the rabbit is actually a fox or tanuki trying to trick her, before making preparations to meet up with Reisen herself.
- Main article: Chapter 6
Reisen later appears as the viewpoint character of chapter six, where she reminisces on the events which lead her to run away from the moon, as well as the new things she's been experiencing under the Watatsuki sisters' tutelage. Reisen observes a battle between Marisa Kirisame and Watatsuki no Yorihime, after which Yorihime sends her to prepare a letter to Eirin. Unable to find Toyohime at the Watatsukis' mansion, Reisen writes the letter by herself. However, after leaving the mansion she somehow encounters Toyohime in a dark forest, apparently on Earth, and is told to "watch what's about to happen".
