History Characters / TouhouFuujinrokuMountainOfFaith

* CuteBruiser: Look at her appearance... and now look at the total damage of her melee combo in ''Hisoutensoku''. It competes or maybe even beats half-ghost swordsman [[KatanasAreJustBetter Youmu]], [[IncrediblyLamePun deadly]] shinigami [[SinisterScythe Komachi]], mountain-smashing oni [[DrunkenMaster Suika]] and even ''nuclear''-powered hell raven Utsuho.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Kawasiro" in Kunrei-Shiki romanization.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: K-S Romanization of her name - "Momizi Inubasiri".

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: K-S Romanization of her last name - "Kotiya".

* CatSmile: [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/File:ThGKNitori.png No really]].

* SignatureHeadgear: She is most recognized by her wide-brimmed hat with frog-like googly eyes atop of it, fitting with her frog motif. ''Foul Detective Satori'' shows that the hat is an ExpressiveAccessory as its eyes can emulate Suwako's expressions.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaqeawuY0r0 "Faith is for the Transient People"]] Noted by ZUN to have a ''metal''/hard rock feel, which is a surprising departure from ''classical'' with horns. There's even pseudo-guitar segments!

* BonusBoss: The EX boss of ''Mountain of Faith.''

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Implied to be this, between her [[ConfusionFu bizarre fighting style]] in the fighting games, and the fact [[BonusBoss she fights the player character in the EX Stage]] ''for fun''. That is, presuming it's not just another part of her facade.

** To her fellow shrine maiden Reimu in many ways:

*** While Reimu's attempts to gather faith for the Hakurei Shrine often fail, Sanae tends to be far more successful.

*** Both to some extent feel separation from other humans due to their powers and physical distance from the rest of Gensokyo, though Sanae's the weaker out of the two.

* RecurringBoss: After appearing as the stage five boss in ''Mountain of Faith'', she made a surprise appearance as the [[BonusBoss Bonus Midboss]] in ''Subterranean Animism''.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: In her home game, she wears waraji (traditional Japanese straw sandals), but in supplemental material she is more often depicted wearing straw rope as anklets and nothing else.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Goes around barefoot, which in her case brings to mind EarthyBarefootCharacter as a FoodGod and BarefootPoverty due to her being in PerpetualPoverty.

* SignatureHeadgear: She is most recognized by her wide-brimmed hat with frog-like googly eyes atop of it, fitting with her frog motif. ''Foul Detective Satori'' shows that the hat is an ExpressiveAccessory as its eyes can emulate Suwako's expressions.

** In ''Foul Detective Satori'' she gets downright brutal defending Moriya Shrine from the evil spirit, slinging magic at anyone who tries to enter (that Marisa explicitly says would’ve killed a normal human) and helping Kanako hold Marisa prisoner. She also suggests killing Marisa to cover this up.

** In ''Foul Detective Satori'' she gets downright brutal defending Moriya Shrine from the evil spirit, slinging magic at anyone who tries to enter (that Marisa explicitly says would’ve killed a normal human) and helping Kanako hold Marisa prisoner. She also suggests killing Marisa to cover this up [[spoiler: though that last one [[DemonicPossession wasn’t actually her.]]]]

* XanatosSpeedChess: Albeit most of it is only fast by divine standards. Whenever any cultural development would render her redundant ([[GodsNeedPrayerBadly and thus eventually kill her]]), instead of fighting it Kanako reinvents herself to make it her new divine focus. %%Her attempt to become the Gensokyoan god of technology is only the most recent%%.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Unintentionally ends up offending Reimu, Nazrin, and Kogasa on separate occassions, although she was from a completely different world and society until recently.

* XanatosSpeedChess: Albeit most of it is only fast by divine standards. Whenever any cultural development would render her redundant ([[GodsNeedPrayerBadly and thus eventually kill her]]), instead of fighting it Kanako reinvents herself to make it her new divine focus. Her attempt to become the Gensokyoan god of technology is only the most recent.

* RingsOfDeath: Her WeaponOfChoice is iron rings.

* AnimalMotifs: Suwako is associated with frogs (though she's not a god of frogs; she just happens to be fond of them). This led Kanako to adopt snakelike elements into her own symbols, even though Suwako officially controls snakes and Kanako controls...[[MindScrew actually, Akyuu doesn't know what Kanako controls]].

* SignatureHeadgear: She is most recognized by her A wide-brimmed hat with frog-like googly eyes atop of it to go with her frog motif. ''Foul Detective Satori'' shows that the hat is an ExpressiveAccessory as its eyes can emulate Suwako's expressions.

* BlowYouAway: A god of wind and rain, among other things. Her ability is described as "creating Qian", which grants her various wind-related abilities. In ''Gouyoku Ibun'' she can create small tornados to either directly attack or keep her onbashira aloft for use in attacks.

* PromotedToPlayable: ''VideoGame/TouhouGouyokuIbunSuibotsuShitaChinshuuJigoku'' marks her first playable appearance, fourteen years after her debut.

* SureLetsGoWithThat: During ''Gouyoku Ibun'', Reimu accuses Kanako of causing the oil spills as in her mind, oil is basically the same as nuclear fusion. Kanako spends several dialogue boxes absolutely dumbfounded at Reimu's accusations before agreeing with her.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Sanae is one of the few characters whose name wouldn't seem unusual in modern Japan.

** In '' Foul Detective Satori'' she gets downright brutal defending Moriya Shrine from the evil spirit, slinging magic at anyone who tries to enter (that Marisa explicitly says would’ve killed a normal human) and helping Kanako hold Marisa prisoner. She also suggests killing Marisa to cover this up [[spoiler: though that last one [[DemonicPossession wasn’t actually her.]]]]

* BuxomIsBetter: Is consistently drawn by various artists with at least a noticeable bust, even ZUN. This is particularly noticeable in ''Hopeless Masquerade'' where not only is she one of the few background characters portrayed with any noticeable bust at all, she's one of only two who actually has [[JigglePhysics any sort of breast movement in the game]], the other being Byakuren, who unlike Sanae, is in the foreground.
* CantHoldHerLiquor: Sanae has a very low alchohol tolerance and gets drunk really easily, which is why she tends to avoid it.
