Shingyoku appears to prevent Reimu Hakurei from entering the gateway, or perhaps to test her resolve. Next-to-nothing is known about this enemy, as it does not exchange dialog with Reimu and has no official profile. Judging from its appearance, Shingyoku is likely somehow related to the Hakurei Shrine's past.

Fun Facts

  • A number of stage enemies in The Story of Eastern Wonderland and Undefined Fantastic Object appear to be smaller versions of Shingyoku's first form.
  • Shingyoku is the first boss in the entire Touhou series.
  • Should Shingyoku's 3rd form be a male priest, then he would be the first male character to appear in a touhou game. (With Genjii and Unzan appearing after him)
