Shinki is the creator of Makai, a world of demons whose entrance is located near the Hakurei Shrine in a mountain cave. During the events of Mystic Square Shinki allowed a tourist agency in Makai to organize trips for the demons there to the human world of Gensokyo. Various heroines from Gensokyo traveled to Makai to put an end to this intrusion, defeating Shinki.
Fun Facts
- The name "Shinki" means "wonderful god".
- Pandæmonium was the capital of hell in Paradise Lost. Thus, Shinki is sometimes compared to Satan.
- Some of Shinki's attacks were replicated in the game Samidare.
- Shinki is compared to Satan and has a sword-throwing maid (Yumeko). Remilia is also compared to Satan and has a knife-throwing maid (Sakuya) ... Possibly the first idea for the Remilia/Sakuya pair?
- Because of Shinki's dialog in which she mentions that everything in Makai is her creation, it is a popular theory that Alice is Shinki's daughter. However, there's been no further mention of this since then, and Perfect Memento states that Alice was once a human who became a youkai magician. It is unknown whether this is a retroactive change of continuity, merely a mistake by Akyu, or if fans were mistaken from the beginning when thinking Alice was Shinki's daughter.
- Fans have interpreted her hairstyle to be an ahoge, literally "idiot hair", which influences fanon portrayals.
- Fairies in stages 5 and 6 of Undefined Fantastic Object, which took place in Makai, have wings with similar colors and markings as Shinki's.
- Byakuren Hijiri's spell card, Great Magic "Devil's Recitation", strongly resembles one of Shinki's attack forms.
