Shizuha Aki is Minoriko Aki's older sister, and was, according to her profile text, under the impression that the heroine in Mountain of Faith was coming to disrupt autumn, which prompted her to attack. She was easily defeated, however, being a mere first-stage midboss.
Fun Facts
- The character for Aki means "Autumn", and Shizuha "quiet leaves."
- It makes very much sense for Shizuha to be the older sister who is the goddess of turning leaves as the leaves change in autumn before the harvest.
- Despite being older than her sister, Minoriko, she only appears as a mid-boss in her stage and has no dialogue in the game. This has lead most doujin authors to represent Shizuha as an immature and unreliable older sister who depends on her younger sister for everything.
- Since Minoriko and Shizuha are the spirits of autumn and "disappear" during winter, and Letty is the spirit of winter, fans suggest a rivalry between them. This leads to depictions of Shizuha openly attacking Letty; after all, she is a spirit of autumn and despises winter.
- Because she and her sister were ranked the lowest of the Windows characters in a year's annual Touhou Popularity Poll, there is a running joke in Japan that they are "original characters" with negligible presence in the games. There is a doujin anthology project dedicated to the Aki Sisters, perhaps to compensate for this.
- On her character portrait, the leaves on her head roughly resembles a crab if they are seen as a single piece rather than two. This occasionally leads to her being associated with one, the leaves on her head being replaced by one, or herself replaced by one in fan works.

They're not terribly good at fighting, but they thought they'd come to warn and punish the humans who came to disrupt the autumn. She believes that the turning leaves are the best thing about autumn, and is filled with a superiority complex when she can show her younger sister their beauty. When winter comes, she becomes disappointed. |
