Fun Facts
- The characters for Saigyouji literally mean "West journey temple", and Yuyuko something like "Secluded child" or "Ghostly child." 'yuyu' (or 'yuuyuu', as in Yuu Yuu Hakusho) is reportedly the sound a Japanese ghost makes.

○幽冥楼閣の亡霊少女 | |
|
Ghostly girl in the Netherworld Tower Final boss, formerly the mistress of old Saigyouji clan, currently the ghost princess. Long ago, there was a divinely talented poet in Gensokyo. She loved nature and spent most of her time traveling. When she became aware that the hour of her death drew near, she chose to begin her eternal rest under the most beautiful cherry tree. That cherry tree has grown even more beautiful since then, charming many people into resting in peace beneath its blossoms. The tree with the mortuary charm developed the powers of a youkai after a while.
In the garden of the Saigyouji clan, there exists a youkai cherry blossom with a story behind it; it is called the Saigyou Ayakashi. For as long as Yuyuko had been there, this cherry tree has never bloomed, even in spring. One day, while browsing through the library as usual, Yuyuko found an old record. It looked so old that it was practically ageless; within it, the following was written...
Yuyuko had read that breaking the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi, making it bloom fully, would cause someone to be resurrected; she started gathering spring's essence out of curiosity. Basically, almost everything in the netherworld exists as ghosts with no physical body. It is for that reason that she wondered about the corpse lying under the Saigyou Ayakashi with great interest, going as far as to consider breaking the seal. Her ability only enables her to bring death. Bringing life to something already dead would be a first.
No one would have imagined that a living human, bearing a tiny drop of spring, would visit. A battle for that last remaining bit of spring ensued...
In the beginning, Yuyuko was only able to control some dead spirits. Unconsciously, that power grew stronger, eventually becoming the ability to invoke death. Terrified by her own ability, she commited suicide. After becoming a ghost, she thoroughly forgot everything about the time she was alive, and started to enjoy being able to invoke death. The reason Yuyuko can neither reincarnate nor vanish is because of the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi. Once the boundary is breached, the time that was frozen will continue to flow, resulting in her death again. Reviving the corpse will destroy Yuyuko's ghost, so it's no wonder that the near-success of the revival ended in inevitable failure. Yuyuko is only able to bring death after all. The only person who knew the whole story, Youki Konpaku, grew slowly older due to the nature of half-humans, and disappeared with the belief that Youmu could inherit the truth about Yuyuko. For all time, Yuyuko will remain as the princess of Netherworld and mistress of long-dead Saigyouji clan.

Dreaming Ghost Species: Ghost Yuyuko is a ghost princess who lives in the netherworld. Like typical ghosts, she is quite the opposite of what humans call "down-to-earth", and her whims distract Youmu all the time. Unlike typical ghosts, her form has legs and feet. She is a ghost—the form of humans after death. There is no doubt that Yuyuko "lives" a whimsical life, but she doesn't unleash her ability lightly, so neither humans nor youkai have a reason to attack her. Still, many beings across the land fear her within their hearts. | |
