Nitori is a very shy Kappa who lives at Youkai Mountain. In fact the first time she sees the heroine she runs off with barely a word. She's good-natured enough, but has an odd way of showing it when she tries to scare the heroine away from the mountain via danmaku and spell cards. It's for the heroine's own good though as the mountain is a very dangerous place for humans and Nitori just didn't want her to get hurt. She actually likes humans, she just doesn't seem to know how to act around them.

Fun Facts

  • The characters for Kawashiro means "River castle". Nitori is in hiragana; there is home furnishing chain store named Nitori in Japan, but it seems she has nothing to do with this store.
  • Her backpack resembles a tortoise shell. Isn't that fitting for a Kappa?
  • As traditional depictions of kappa have a bare spot with no hair at the top of their heads, rumor has it that her hat is concealing a bald spot.
  • Some fanworks depict her carrying a Pepsi Ice Cucumber in place of the reed she normally has. (In Japanese folklore, Kappa love cucumber) She's also sometimes depicted wearing a school swimsuit under her dress.
  • Her name might have originated from Ryunosuke Akutagawa's novel Kappa where the second chapter begins with the sentence 「そのうちにやっと気がついてみると、僕は仰向けに倒れたまま、大勢の河童にとり囲まれていました。」

Super Youkai Warhead
Nitori Kawashiro

A kappa that lives on the Youkai Mountain. For a long time, kappa haven't let themselves be seen by humans, but since they usually hide to watch humans, they like to think that they are on good terms with humans.

She may suddenly change her attitude or speech, and she possesses a rather odd personality, but she's unexpectedly shy. She runs away the moment she sees a human.

Since she's an engineering nut, whenever she sees something man-made she takes it apart and puts it back together. Because of this, her clothes are stuffed with tools.

She wanted to turn away Reimu and the others who had entered the mountain, but this is only because she believed that there was some sort of emergency occurring on the mountain.
