The type of trajectory her shots can vary on each game but are can be adjustable with variants in each game. Reimu's main attack consists of using shide as projectiles with her primary secondary attack throwing ying-yang orbs which bounce repeatedly. In Perfect Cherry Blossom, Alice comments on her appearance, stating "In the end, shrine maidens are two colors". In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Patchouli and Flandre refer to her by signature colors "red-white". The design of her attire has subtle differences in each game. Her dress was designed and manfucatured by Rinnosuke Morichika, the owner of the antique shop "Kourindo". This shrine maiden costume has no sleeves, and Reimu has her white sleeves tied around her arms separately, exposing her shoulders and armpits, and wearing a skirt instead of a hakama.

Her hair color is commonly black but is dark brown in Imperishable Night and Phantasmagoria of Flower View. Her exact age is unknown, being only described as a "girl". Like the series name, Reimu's character design was likely inspired by Sayo-chan from KiKi KaiKai according to Yostar's Creative Train's interview with ZUN. Being a composer, ZUN figured that the best way to feature his works as well as create a series based around miko was through developing his own video games. Reimu uses a vide variety of spell cards that give her different abilities and a gohei as her primary weapon.ĭuring his high school years, ZUN thought that not enough video games featured the more traditional theme of miko. While she made her debut in the Breakout-inspired video game Highly Responsive to Prayers, the shoot 'em up gameplay would be established with the second installment of the series, Story of Eastern Wonderland.Īs the sole shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, she frequently involves herself in any conflict or incidents across the fictional realm of Gensokyo to invesitgate and resolve them.
She is the main protagonist of the Touhou Project series, making appearances in nearly every installment of the series. Reimu Hakurei ( 博麗 霊夢, Hakurei Reimu) is a character created by the Japanese video game developer and designer ZUN.
