外の世界からやってきたという非常に珍しい妖怪狸。幻想郷で独自に進化した妖怪よりも、古典的な容姿と能力を持つ。

She is said to have come from the outside world, a very unusual youkai tanuki. She has a more classical appearance and ability than youkai who have evolved uniquely in Gensokyo.

元々、化け狸の頭領だったらしく、それ相応の威厳とカリスマを持つが、その分新たな火種の元になる可能性が高い。

Originally, she seemed to have been the chief bake-danuki, and she possesses the appropriate dignity and charisma for such a position, but there is a high possibility that such personalities will cause another new spark.

幻想郷には元々妖怪狸が数多く棲んでおり、それらの野良狸と外来の彼女が上手くやっていけるのかは注意深く見守っていく必要がある。

Originally, there were already many wild youkai tanuki living in Gensokyo, and as she is a foreign tanuki from the outside, it was necessary to go about carefully and attentively [to fit in].

化けさせる能力は自分の姿のみならず、他の物体も変化させる事が出来るという物だが、幻覚とは異なり無から幻を生み出す事は出来ない。何を騙すにしても、元になる物体が必要なのである。その物体も変化後に近い物体で無いとすぐに見破る事が出来るだろう。例えば、犬を鳥に化けさせても、空を飛ぶ事が出来ない為、すぐにばれてしまう。あくまでも見え方が違うだけで、性質は殆ど変わらないのだ。

Although her power to disguise things can be used on objects other than herself, she is unable to create an illusion from nothing. No matter how she tricks you, there needs to be something that the illusion originates from. If she transforms an object into something that doesn't resemble it, you should be able to spot it immediately. For example, if she transforms a dog into a bird, it would be quickly discovered because the dog can't fly. Even if it still looks like that, its nature cannot be changed.

また、本人が化けると尻尾が隠せない事が多い。これは化け狸、化け狐全般に言える事だが、完全に尻尾と耳を消すのは不可能で、見えない位小さくしたり保護色でカモフラージュしたりして見えなくしているのである。しかし、動揺したりテンションが上がったりすると、つい耳と尻尾が動いてしまい、凄く目立つ。

Also, even if she changes herself she usually can't hide her tail. This is true of all bake-tanuki and bake-gitsune, but even if erasing the ears and tail is impossible, they can still shrink them to an unnoticeable size or change their color to camouflage them. However, if they're suddenly disturbed or particularly emotional their ears and tail will appear, giving them away.

これは、尻尾の大きさが妖力のパロメーターとなっている、妖獣ならではの宿命だろう。

This is the fate of all youjuu who have large tails as a spiritual parameter.

そんな彼女も、最初から尻尾を隠そうとしていない。尻尾の大きさは妖獣としての格の高さ故、と言ったところか。

Although from the beginning she hasn't been hiding her tail. It is said that to youjuu, the size of their tail is a sign of their high status.

目が遠いのか時折眉をひそめたりしたり、年寄り臭い口調で話すが、もしかしたら姿は化けているだけで本当に年寄りなのかも知れない(*1)。

She sometimes furrows her brow with a distant look in her eyes, and talks like an old geezer, so perhaps she really is an old geezer.(*1)


佐渡の不思議

The Mystery of Sado

佐渡とは外の世界の国の一つである。建国は平安時代より遡るとされる。

Sado is a province in the outside world. Its founding dates back to the Heian era.

そんな佐渡からやってきた彼女の話によると、佐渡は化け狸の天下であり、狐は一匹も居ない、らしい。

According to her, Sado is a whole country of tanuki, and not a single fox lives there.

幻想郷でも外の世界でも、化け狸は人間の振りをして社会に溶け込んでいる事が多い。幻想郷ではただのいたずらである事が多いが、外の世界では自分が狸である事を忘れてしまい、人間として一生過ごす事もあるという。完全に尻尾を失うと、自分の意志で姿を戻す事が出来なくなるらしい。

In Gensokyo as well as the outside world, bake-danuki often take the appearance of humans and blend into human society. In Gensokyo it's usually just to play pranks, but in the outside world there are cases where they themselves forget that they're tanuki and spend their whole lives as humans. If they lose their tails completely, they can no longer change back of their own will.

佐渡には狸の末裔が多い。狸は地下に埋まった物を掘り当てる能力に長けていて、その為、狸の末裔は金山を掘り当て裕福に暮したと言われる。

In Sado, there are many descendants of such tanuki. It is said that since tanuki excel at digging up buried objects, their descendants have dug up gold mines and become wealthy.

マミゾウは完全に人化していく狸が多い中、最後まで狸を貫き通した事を誇りに思っているらしい。

From among those completely humanized tanuki, Mamizou seems to want to preserve her tanuki pride until the end.


対処法

How to Deal With

日常的に人間を化かしている。人間が困惑したり、驚いたりする所を見て喜んでいる。他愛の無いいたずらから、場合によっては命に関わるような騙され方もあり、非常に危険である。

She regularly transforms into a human. She enjoys watching humans being bewildered or surprised. Because these are callous pranks, some of them are tricks that put one's life at risk, so she's especially dangerous.

しかし、本人が化けているものにはよく見ると尻尾がある筈なので、怪しいと思ったら尻尾を探してみると良いだろう。

However, since there should be a visible tail on whatever she transforms into, if you're suspicious it should be fine if you search for a tail.

また、昼間は化けの皮を剥がし易いが夜は難しい。満月の日はさらに化け力が増すので、極力夜は用心して出歩くしか無い。

But, while it's easy to reveal her during the daytime, it's difficult at night. Because her transformation powers increase on the night of the full moon, you have no choice but to be careful about taking walks on nights when she's strong.

*1 化け狸に正体なんて有ってないもの。

1: There's no such thing as a true identity for a bake-danuki.
