The "Wonderful Shrine Maiden of Paradise" and main character of the Touhou series.
An easygoing but dutiful miko and good friend to fellow protagonist Kirisame Marisa; her cool, detached facade belies a sympathetic personality which often wins her the friendship of her former enemies, such as Remilia Scarlet. Reimu takes care of the rundown Hakurei Shrine, which lay near Gensokyo's border with the outside world and acts as its main portal, and fights using ofuda and her family heirloom, yin-yang orbs.
Famous for her laid-back disposition and exposed armpits, as well as the first subject (together with Marisa) of a notorious 2channel meme - "Yukkuri shiteitte ne!!!".
She is often depicted with a gohei with shide or holding ofuda.
