About this title

Synopsis

Eientei is a large mansion hidden deep within Gensokyo's Bamboo Forest of the Lost where the Lunarian princess Kaguya Houraisan resides alongside her reliable advisor Eirin Yagokoro. Accompanying them are numerous youkai rabbits led by Earth rabbit Tewi Inaba and Moon rabbit Reisen Udongein Inaba, who protect the princess from danger. However, their primary purpose is to pound mochi every month as part of the Moon Festival, Reigetsusai. From Kaguya's fierce rivalry with Fujiwara no Mokou and Tewi's mischievous pranks, to Reisen's serious yet fallible nature, even a secluded place like Eientei has no shortage of fun and hilarity.

Reisen Udongein Inaba327 fan favorites
External profile
A moon rabbit, she came to Gensokyo about 30 years ago to escape a war between the Earth and the Moon. Since then, she has been an apprentice to Eirin, a pet to Kaguya, and a caretaker to Tewi. She has the power to drive people mad with her eyes—mainly in the form of hallucinations—as well as communicate telepathically with her kind. She also has control over waves of all kinds, such as light waves, brainwaves, and electromagnetic waves. "Udongein" and "Inaba" are both nicknames, the first given her by Eirin and the second Kaguya; the latter is what Kaguya calls all rabbits. (Source: Wikipedia)
Kaguya Houraisan107 fan favorites
External profile
Kaguya was once the princess of the Lunarians, a race of people living on the Moon. She was exiled to Earth over a thousand years ago for the crime of using the forbidden Hourai Elixir to make herself immortal. Arriving on Earth in what is today central Japan, she was found by a bamboo cutter and dwelt among the humans she had once despised. Though the Lunarians looked upon humans with contempt, Kaguya came to love her new home. Her unearthly beauty led men from all across Japan to seek her hand in marriage, but none could successfully complete her trial of the Five Impossible Requests. After years of exile, emissaries arrived from the Moon; Kaguya had been forgiven of her crime and it had been decided that she should return. Kaguya, however, had grown to love life on Earth and had no desire to return to the lunar capital. Enlisting the help of her friend Eirin, Kaguya escaped from the emissaries and fled to Gensoukyou. Taking refuge in an ancient mansion called Eientei hidden deep within a secluded bamboo forest, the two Lunarians began a new exile. During the events of Imperishable Night, Kaguya had been hidden in a secret pathway along with the true moon by Eirin to ensure any Lunarians sent to recover Reisen would not discover her. The heroines, however, did discover her, and challenged her to return the full moon to Gensoukyou. After being defeated, Kaguya unleashed her power of eternity in an all-out bid to break the spell of the imperishable night cast by the heroines. Finally she relented and the true moon was recovered. She now spends her days living in Eientei in a carefree manner, sometimes holding exhibitions of Lunarian treasures there for the rest of Gensoukyou to admire. Her long isolation has made her lonely, and she enjoys telling stories to any guests she might receive.
Tewi Inaba87 fan favorites

After taking good care of her health and living for a long time, Tewi became something more than an ordinary rabbit. She leads the Earthborn rabbits living in Eientei. Her impetuous temperament makes her seem more like a fairy than a phantom. Humans who lose their way in the bamboo forest around Eientei sometimes catch a glimpse of Tewi. Those who see her are able to find their way out without fail, so she is considered a guide of the forest. It's a shame that they waste the fortune given to them by Tewi on such a small thing, but humans are too clueless to notice their mistake. (Source: Touhou Wikia)

The characters for Yagokoro literally mean "Countless thoughts", i.e. "Boundless wisdom" (the number eight in names means "infinite/countless"), and Eirin "Eternal jewel". A genius pharmacist who once lived on the moon. Kaguya persuaded her to produce the forbidden Hourai Elixir—the elixir of life—and consumed it. They were found out, and Kaguya alone was punished and was sent to the Earth, a fact which Eirin always felt guilty about. Sometime later, the moon court pardoned Kaguya's sins and summoned her back. Eirin and a handful of emissaries were sent to retrieve her, but Eirin found out that Kaguya didn't want to return to the moon. Acting out of her past guilt, Eirin betrayed and murdered all the other emissaries under the eyes of the earthlings who had fostered Kaguya. Eirin bribed the earthlings with the Hourai Elixir, in order to keep them silent, and went into hiding with Kaguya in Gensokyo.
