Yuka is a rather powerful and dangerous flower-loving Youkai. In Lotus Land Story, Reimu and Marisa break into her home, and she defends herself. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she goes out to enjoy herself, trying to remember why the event that touches off the game's story seems familiar.

Fun Facts

  • Yuka is the only character to appear as the boss of two consecutive stages.
  • Not counting the main characters (Reimu and Marisa), Yuka is the second character ever from the PC-98 games to appear in a Windows game. The first was Alice Margatroid, who made her first appearance in Mystic Square.
  • The characters for Yuka (幽香) mean "dim scent". Kazami (風見) literally means "wind watching" and is also the term for a weather vane.
  • Apparently, according to Yuka's conversation with Tei in Yuka's PoFV scenario, Yuka's umbrella is actually the only flower in Gensokyo that never withers.
  • Yuka is thought to be the originator of the spellcard "Master Spark", which Marisa subsequently copied and made famous. Yuka is also known for the "Dual Spark", two slightly smaller beams fired simultaneously.
  • In her normal outfit, Yuka is one of the very few Touhou characters with nothing on her head—no hat, ribbons, or non-human attributes.
  • Both VIVIT and Youmu have pointed out to Yuka that her outfit, or Yuka herself, bears a resemblance to Reimu .
  • Many fan works have recently depicted Yuka as a bit of a sadist, often being dominant over Alice Margatroid or Tenshi Hinanai.
  • Many artists have portrayed her PC-98 outfit to have plaid pants rather than a plaid skirt. A form of this outfit is in Seihou Kioh Gyoku.
  • Yuka features wings in Seihou Kioh Gyoku.
  • Yuka's very low speed (focused and normal) in PoFV has become a small running gag among some folks. There's even a comic in which Aya teases Yuka with "Speed over Power" while flying circles around her, with Yuka blasting away to no avail. This even extends to her stats in Touhoumon, with one of the lowest speed base stats in the whole game (but befitting her power, her other stats are good).

     幽香(ゆうか)         ・・ 妖怪さん

   神社の周りにすむ、数いる妖怪さんの中では最強クラスの妖怪さんなの
  だが、いつもなにを考えてるのか分からない性格は、そういったカリスマ
  のかけらもない妖怪にしている。
   ただ実際は、かなり頭もきれるようではあるのだが・・・

Yuuka         Youkai

One of the strongest youkai living around Hakurei Shrine, but her
personality is such that one can never tell what she's thinking, so
she's a very uncharismatic youkai.
However, she actually seems to be quite sharp-witted...

Yuka

 ■3.妖怪萌え

  さてさて、関係ないですが(ありますが)1キャラだけ絵柄が違う幽香と言う
  キャラは、実は昔私が創っていたSTGの東方幻想郷のラスボスであり、東方
  怪綺談のプレイヤーキャラの一人です。
  妖怪です。ええ。妖怪萌え~。
  全然東洋風っぽくないのは、妖怪だからです。ええ。妖怪萌。

  ちなみに、レベル1溜打ちの萌風を10人中10人は「もえかぜ」と
  読むだろうなぁ、と思いつつ。




  妖怪出ないかなぁ。うちの部屋とか、仕事場とかに。
  巫女さんでも可。

  ちなみに幽香は、怪綺談エキストラEDのあと、予定通り究極の魔法と言う物
  を拾得しました。それが何なのかは作者も知りません。

  きっと萌える物に違いあるまい。萌ぇ~。

3. Youkai Moe

Now then, absolutely no relation (well, some relation) the only character
with a slightly different feel, Yuka, is actually the last boss I made a long
time ago for the STG Touhou Lotus Land Story, and is a playable character of
Touhou Mystic Square.
A youkai. Yes. Youkai moe~.
The reason she doesn't feel oriental at all is because she's a Youkai. Yes. Youkai moe.

By the by, I think that 10 out of 10 people would read the level 1 barrage 萌風 as moekaze.




Wonder if a Youkai would come out. Like in my room, or my workplace.
A shrine maiden is fine too.

Also, after Mystic Square's extra ending, as planned, Yuka received the ultimate
magic. The author himself doesn't know exactly what is it.

It's definitely something moe. Moe~.

Flower Master of the Four Seasons
Kazami Yuka

Species: Youkai
Ability: Manipulation of Flowers

A youkai that lives in Gensokyo. Has the ability to manipulate flowers.
She loves seasonal flowers, so throughout the year she moves to the respective
place where the flowers grow: spring flowers for spring, summer flowers for summer,
autumn flowers for autumn, and although there aren't many, winter flowers for winter.

This time, as she witnessed Gensokyo being overtaken by flowers,
she wasn't surprised at all and very well understood the situation.
Although she understood it, she thought that it'd be paradise if it
was always this way.

The outbreak must eventually be resolved. She decided that she
would enjoy this outbreak while she can. It's be a waste to not enjoy this once
every sixty year outbreak.

Without a destination in mind, she enjoyed the flowers as she slept and awoke, as her
pattern continued.


Book Synopsis

Perfect Memento in Strict Sense

Main article: Perfect Memento: Yuka Kazami
  • She is a youkai that lives her life among the flowers, and Heaven help anyone who disturbs her.
  • She appears to be human, even though she is more like a Force of Nature, being a flower youkai.
  • Yuka is a very long-lived youkai with high youkai abilities and strong power over flowers.
  • Despite her nature, when engaging in a fight, she decides on roles beforehand, as youkai of her age and power tend to do that.
  • It's impossible for normal humans to exterminate her, and it's unclear if even the Shrine Maiden has defeated her. However, one can still enjoy Yuka's battle if one does not disturb her, as it is said to be full of beauty.
