Very little is known about Koakuma, and unless she makes another appearance she may remain a mystery. What is known is that she's seen around the library of Scarlet Devil Mansion during the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Apparently she lives in the mansion. Her exact role is difficult to tell, but she is believed to be an assistant in Patchouli's library there.

Fun Facts

  • This character is not given an official name. Fans have named her 'Koakuma', meaning 'Little Devil' or "Imp". ZUN later confirmed this name in an interview, though.
  • In many fan-fictions, she is regarded as a familiar of Patchouli. In those fictions, she works as a librarian and a personal servant of Patchouli.
  • In many fictions, she is described to be very obedient, steady and good-natured, on the contrary to ZUN's official profile. This personality is acknowledged before ZUN replied to the question, and it is one of exceptional example of a fan-made profile which is accepted by a large majority (but not all fans).
  • After ZUN's reply, some people described more impish and mischievous Little Devil in their fan-fictions. Today, various Little Devils exist in fan-fictions: Obedient and steady, impish and mischievous, or hybrid of them.
  • In some HENTAI fictions, she is also regarded as ... a kind of succubus.
  • Koakuma is sometimes drawn by fans having a pair of black, bat-like wings on her back to match the ones on the sides of her head.

Official Profiles

  • In response to questions from fans, ZUN revealed some hints of her profile:
    • Devils are a mighty race from Gensokyo, like magicians or vampires. But Little Devil is far weaker. (NOTE: According to this, "Little devil" seems to be a generic term for some weak devils, although it is usually regarded as a personal name of the midboss of EoSD stage 4. )
    • Like fairies, she is carefree and mischievous, often behaves thoughtlessly.
    • She settles in Scarlet Devil Mansion (probably, in the library).
    • She is one of normal-enemy class (not boss-class) characters. There are many such characters, and they are not given any special role in the story.
