Kisume is a rather shy youkai who usually spends her time in buckets. As a midboss with no dialogue and a rather sparse official profile, little is known about her, but she seems rather childish.
Fun Facts
- Tsurube otoshi (lit. bucket dropper) are a type of youkai believed to have originated in the Chuubu region of Japan. They usually live atop trees, and when humans come close to the tree a bucket or a severed head drops down and eats them. They are also sometimes depicted as flaming spirits.
- According to ZUN, her name is written in katakana to give it an old feel, and it's not written in kanji because "that would make her seem too strong".
- Upon the release of the demo of Subterranean Animism, fans immediately dubbed Kisume "Bucket Ranka," named after Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier.
- Western fans dubbed her "Bucket Loli".
- Fan artists interpret the clothes she's wearing inside the bucket as either a white collared blouse or a gi.
- Perhaps due to her sharing the same stage as Yamame, fanworks with her and Yamame and somehow, Parsee is common.
- She is one of the few Touhou characters in the Windows series to not have a last name. (Cirno, Nazrin for example)
