18
19-->''"Shush! I told the Family I was born from a stone that was struck by a thunderbolt! From now on, spread this story, alright?"''
20
21A sarugami living in the yamanba section of Youkai Mountain who is convinced that she's a reincarnation of Sun Wukong.
22----
23* TheBeastmaster: She has the ability to control wild monkeys.
24* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Sanae beats her, they become friends, with Sanae even referring to her as "Biten-chan" during Biten's story.
25* TheDragon: She's one of Yachie's top lieutenants.
26* TheExile: A monkey god that was kicked out by her fellow monkeys, eventually ending up in the yamanba section of Youkai Mountain and falling into hell after eating a spirit on consecrated ground.
27* FashionableAsymmetry: One of her arms has a detached sleeve while the other is bare.
28* GoingNative: She ended up living with the yamanba after getting kicked out by her fellow monkeys, and so her outfit is torn and ragged-looking in a similar way to Nemuno Sakata's.
29* ImprobableWeaponUser: She makes use of a giant vial as a stand-in for a combat staff.
30* {{Leitmotif}}: Her theme is [[https://youtu.be/_ZvcMBCXycw "Tiny Shangri-La"]], a song ZUN states was made to evoke a ''Journey to the West''-type feel.
31* LittleBitBeastly: Biten looks mostly human save for her long monkey tail.
32* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Unlike Yachie, Son Biten is a fairly polite and innocent girl who doesn't seem to bear any ill will towards Gensokyo. This is part of why Sanae ends up befriending her after their fight.
33* MonkeyKingLite: She's based on Sun Wukong and believes she's his reincarnation, though the latter is the result of gaslighting on the part of Yachie.
34* {{Oni}}: It's said that devouring spirits in the yamanba's sacred lands turned her into an oni, though she still kept her physical body.
35* OurGodsAreDifferent: She's a sarugami, or monkey god.
36* UnwittingPawn:
37** Yachie manipulates her for her own purposes, claiming that she's trying to save her from Hell in order to give the Kiketsu Family a foothold in Gensokyo.
38** Zanmu manipulated her into eating the spirits and getting help from Yachie in order to further her own plans.

48
49A yamainu living in the Forest of Magic who became immortal after eating a purifying jewel.
50----
51* TheAgeless: Contact with a jewel similar to those used by Lunarians for purification removed her impurities and turned her immortal.
52* DefeatMeansFriendship: As with Sanae befriending Son Biten, Marisa befriends Enoko, with Enoko letting her research her purifying jewel.
53* TheDragon: She's Saki's right hand.
54* {{Leitmotif}}: Her theme is "A Brave and Leisurely Beast".

56* MultipleTailedBeast: She's a wolf youkai with three tails.
57* MythicalMotifs: She's a wolf youkai and, combined with the bear traps she wears around her wrists, she resembles Cerberus.
58* PowerFist: She wears two bear traps on each of her wrists, which close when she cleches a fist.
59* RememberTheNewGuy: Enoko knew Marisa as a child, as she would often go to the Forest of Magic to cry and hide, but Marisa doesn't recognize her because she was still a cursed dog back then.
60* ToServeMan: Ate Zanmu's flesh once back when she was still a regular animal and Zanmu was human.
61* TrapMaster: She has the ability to control traps.

66::''Monster of Tainted Organic Material''
67::'''Chiyari Tenkajin'''
68
69-->''"Who're you calling a chupacabra! I'm a tenkajin! [...] A 'super popular blood-sucking youkai'? Wait, that sounds kinda like me..."''
70
71A tenkajin living in the Hell of Blood Pools whose true form is unknown. She has control over blood and fire.
72----
73* AmbidextrousSprite: When she is playable, the words on her shirt become illegible.
74* BloodyMurder: Has power over blood, alongside fire.
75* {{Chupacabra}}: In-universe she's thought to be a chupacabra thanks to Mamizou, but apart from the association with blood she's not a chupacabra at all and hates being called one.
76* TheDragon: She's Yuuma's right hand.
77* FunTShirt: Like Hecatia, she wears a shirt saying "Welcome to Hell", which is implied to be a pretty big brand within Hell itself.
78* HornedHumanoid: Has a single horn jutting from her head.
79* {{Hikikomori}}: Refers to herself as such, due to her apathy in helping Toutetsu conquer Gensokyo and instead simply wanting to spend all day in the Hell of Blood Pools drinking to her heart's content.
80* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: {{Downplayed}}, but her defeated sprite with ClothingDamage shows that her waist is thinner than what her shirt suggests.
81* {{Leitmotif}}: Her theme is [[https://youtu.be/cmx4pAcNTaQ "Vampiric Cryptid Chupacabra"]], meant to give Chiyari a chupacabra-esque feel despite her technically not being one.
82* PlayingWithFire: Has powers over fire, alongside blood.
83* PointyEars: Her ears have a noticeable point to them.
84* RememberTheNewGuy: She lived in the Hell of Blood Pools long before Yuuma set up shop there, and both Orin and Okuu are familiar with her.
85* SpeciesSurname: Her surname of "Tenkajin" is also the name of her species.
86* WillOTheWisp: The [[http://youkaitama.seesaa.net/article/271093027.html tenkajin]] is a blood-sucking will-o-the-wisp that was found in what is now the town of Tamamura.

89[[folder:Hisami Yomotsu]]
90[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/th19hisami.png]]
91
92::''Beautiful Stalker of Hell''
93::'''Hisami Yomotsu'''
94
95-->''"Haa... Angry...you say? I '''want''' her to be angry with me! Lady Zanmu!"''
96
97A Yomotsu-shikome who acts as a solicitor for Hell, dragging down anyone careless enough to stray too close to it. She gets paid by how many souls she drags to Hell, which she uses to lure her targets to Hell by promising to share some of her earnings should they give in. She actually does keep her promise a lot of the time, so she's not disliked by the humans she lures.
98----
99* AmbiguouslyGay: She's explicitly stated to idolize/adore her boss, Zanmu, which lead to fandom immediately christening her a LipstickLesbian helped along by a generous level of ambiguity in the original Japanese, however her actual orientation and any romantic interests are not explicitly shown nor stated. That being said, her dialogue in VS. Mode with Suika and Zanmu ''extremely'' strongly hint her attitude towards Zanmu is romantic, due to being right out of a variety of generic lines associated with romantic pining in shoujo manga, and her bizarre desire to be scolded and punished by her would be strange for a mere adoring underling, but it's not outright stated all the same.
100* DraggedOffToHell: Her job is dragging down people to Hell, which she does by promising to share her earnings with them if they give in, a promise she tends to keep. Of course, as Reimu learns, she's not afraid to try taking people by force if her offer of sharing earnings isn't enough to convince them.
101* TheDragon: She's essentially Zanmu's second, and ZUN even directly compares her theme to that of a Stage 5 boss in more traditional titles, who are more often than not a direct subordinate of the main antagonist.
102* EyesOutOfSight: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Her eyes are almost completely covered up by a large purple flower, but they're shown in some of her portraits, revealing they're purple.
103* GreenThumb: Fires grapevines as danmaku.
104* {{Leitmotif}}: Her theme is "The Path to Yomi Where None Turn Back".
105* MeaningfulName: Her full name, Hisami Yomotsu, is derived from Yomotsu-hisame, an alternate name for the Yomotsu-shikome.
106* MirrorCharacter: Could be seen as one to [[Characters/TouhouKaeidzukaPhantasmagoriaOfFlowerView Komachi Onozuka]]. Komachi tends to slack off a lot of the time, but she's really competent at her job--especially when her boss Eiki Shiki is around. Meanwhile, Hisami is ''incredibly'' skilled at her job (so much so that the Yama is monitoring her because she's been dragging more people to Hell than anticipated), but that tends to falter when it comes to Zanmu due to Hisami's one-sided infatuation with her.
107* MythicalMotifs: She has a grapevine going down her dress and uses them as danmaku, a reference to Izanagi's headdress turning into grapevines to distract the Yomotsu-shikome as he fled Yomi.
108* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Yomotsu-shikone literally translates to "Ugly Woman of the Underworld". That being said, Hisami is known as the "''Beautiful'' Stalker of Hell", implying that even for the franchise's standards, she's a looker.
109* PublicDomainCharacter: Based on Yomotsu-shikome, the hag (or hags, in some tellings) who chased Izanagi as he fled Yomi, also known as Yomotsu-hisame.
110* SpannerInTheWorks: She's one of the few people Zanmu ''cannot'' predict, so her involvement tends to complicate Zanmu's plans through her overzealousness.
111* StatuesqueStunner: Explicitly described as beautiful, and in VS Mode Yachie mentions feeling jealous about her height, implying that she's fairly tall.
112* TheDreaded: In her scenario, when she encounters Reimu; Reimu's reaction is to outright try and flee her. Of course, with Hisami's powers, this doesn't work, and it's not made entirely clear if she's fleeing Hisami because she's specifically scared of Hisami, or because she's scared of Zanmu (which was established in Reimu's scenario).
113* TooKinkyToTorture:
114** At one point in her own storyline, Suika mentions that going against Zanmu's orders might lead to Hisami getting scolded. However, Hisami ends up being so into the idea that she not only ''asks'' Zanmu to scold her, but she purposefully disobeys Zanmu's orders to stand guard in the final story route, potentially foiling her master's plans in the hopes of being punished by her. Fortunately for Zanmu herself, she was perfectly aware of Hisami's ploy.
115** Hisami also pants while talking about her desire to be scolded to both Zanmu and Suika.
116* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Her ability is allowing no one to escape from her grasp.

118
119[[folder:Zanmu Nippaku]]
120[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/th19zanmu.png]]
121
122::''King of the Silent Bliss of Nirvana''
123::'''Zanmu Nippaku'''
124
125-->''"All along, you've been dancing in the palm of my hand! Do you understand, lowly beast!?"''
126
127A former human from the Sengoku era, she was originally a corrupt monk who had become an oni after absorbing various spirits into her body. After becoming an oni, she had ventured to Hell and earned the respect of its citizens. She was also the one who'd suggested relocating Hell, thus being the one responsible for Former Hell's creation.
128----
129* AllegoricalCharacter: ZUN himself has suggested that Zanmu is one for efficient but lifeless AI, with her plan to [[spoiler:exert control over Gensokyo, the Animal Realm, and Hell prioritizing efficiency over the wants of their inhabitants]].
130* BadBoss: Suika claims that she abandoned Son Biten, Enoko, and Chiyari after there was no more use for them. [[spoiler:It becomes subverted when it turns out she never abandoned them and even gave them time off for their good work. She even invites them all to the victory banquet.]]
131* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:While technically more of an AntiVillain, her plan works almost perfectly from the beginning of the game to the end, and she actually defeats Reimu in their final showdown. Not that this is a bad thing, as she ends up saving Gensokyo from a war between the Animal Realm and Hell. The worst outcome of her victory over Reimu is just forcing Reimu to let her victory party be at the Hakurei Shrine.]]
132* TheChessmaster: Had noticed the beast spirits plotting to take over the surface after the opening of Chimata's markets had reduced all ownership of Gensokyo's land to nothing. Not wanting a war to break out between the oni and the beast spirits, she sets up each of the Animal Realm's three matriarchs into interrupting each other's invasions in order to quell them.
133* CommonalityConnection: According to her profile, this is what endears Reimu to her so much. She sees Reimu as very similar to herself, having gathered support from youkai the way she gathered support from the oni and beasts.
134* DamageOverTime: Zanmu's shot type can inflict bleed on contact, slowly increasing damage taken.
135* HeroAntagonist: She's the FinalBoss and main instigator of the plot, but her primary goal is stopping the Animal Realm from conquering Gensokyo and turning it into a Hell on Earth.
136* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Modeled off Zanmu Nichihaku, a monk from the real-life Sengoku Period known for their eccentricities.
137* HornedHumanoid: As a human turned oni, she has two horns on her head.
138* ILetYouWin: Attempts to do this at the very end with Reimu, taking the fall so that Reimu could get credit for resolving the incident, but Reimu actually demands she fights seriously. [[spoiler:She obliges and defeats Reimu in the end.]] She also throws her fights in all the other final boss encounters with her, including Reimu's first encounter with her.
139* ImYourBiggestFan: She is perhaps the only genuine and most unapologetic fan of Reimu's in the series, at least among the youkai populace. From the moment she found out about Reimu and came to believe Reimu was like her, she became deeply invested, and intended to end the oncoming incident with ''all'' of Gensokyo's land falling into Reimu's ownership. When Reimu accidentally stops the incident before it even starts[[note]]Given a tipoff by Suika that essentially let her skip the entire plot[[/note]] Zanmu is nothing short of astounded and thrilled by Reimu managing this. This extends even into the versus dialogue, where she has ''three'' unique lines for Reimu, including rousingly encouraging Reimu to exterminate her, and even ''acknowledging'' Reimu having saved the world in the past, which ''nobody else'' ever seems to give her credit for.[[note]]Bonus points in irony here in oni being Reimu's most detested form of youkai, and her only fan is the acting ''ruler'' of oni.[[/note]] That said, she still acts rather sinister to Reimu, and if Reimu loses to her in story mode, she muses that Reimu was a disappointment and makes clear that much of why she's fond of Reimu is simply reminding Zanmu of herself.
140* {{Leitmotif}}: Her theme is "The Deviants' Unobstructed Light ~ Kingdom[[note]]Misspelled as "Kingdam" in the Japanese title[[/note]] of Nothingness."
141* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Unlike most oni, who focus on brute strength, Zanmu's specialty is in scheming. However, this doesn't stop Zanmu from still being strong enough that even Reimu is outright scared of fighting her at full power, and an Oni as strong as Suika resorts to schemes instead of direct confrontation.
142* NonProtagonistResolver: She resolves the incident and thwarts the Animal Realm invasion before Reimu even has a chance to tackle it.
143* {{Oni}}: Became an oni after absorbing a whole bunch of phantoms and beast spirits, but unlike most oni in ''Touhou'', she doesn't wear any chains, but instead is covered in ribbons.
144* PowerOfTheVoid: Has the ability to manipulate nothingness.
145* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Her intentions are to head off the scheming of the three factions of the Animal Realm for good, collapse them, and take them into Hell under her wardenship to ensure they never threaten the surface again. For good measure, she intends to wrap everything up so that Gensokyo falls squarely into the possession of [[TheHeroine Reimu]] when all is said and done. Her backstory only furthers this, regarding her in a saintly manner as a wise king who improved and streamlined Hell, becoming unanimously beloved by the populace.
146* SheIsTheKing: She's female, but her title is "'''King''' of the Silent Bliss of Nirvana".[[note]]Though, 王 (ou) is technically a gender-neutral term that could also be translated as "monarch" or "ruler"[[/note]]
147* SkeletonMotif: Her needle danmaku have skulls for pinheads.
148* TheDreaded: Becomes this to Reimu of all characters, when Reimu realizes that Zanmu was holding back. Reimu herself admits that she would not stand a chance and the narration explicitly says that Reimu feels fear realizing this. Reimu has not been said to be explicitly scared since the PC-98 era.
149* WasOnceAMan: After absorbing various phantoms and beast spirits (including the spirits of beast youkai), she turned from a human to an oni. However, she was wise enough to venture into Hell herself before she ended up falling into it.
150* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:It turns out she did have plans on conquering all of Gensokyo herself, but only to protect it against the Animal Realm, likening it to putting all of Gensokyo in a zoo to protect it from apex predators. However, she decides ultimately that Reimu can protect Gensokyo on her own and abandons this plan.]]
