Ichirin Kumoi & Unzan

=Ichirin Kumoi & Unzan=

Ichirin Kumoi is a former human turned youkai from Touhou Project. She, along with her nyuudou partner, Unzan, both first appeared in Undefined Fantastic Object as the bosses of Stage 3, and later as a paired playable character in Hopeless Masquerade and Urban Legend in Limbo. Ichirin first met Unzan when she was still a human girl. According to legend, nyuudou were known to decapitate and kill anyone that they encounter by simply raising their head before the victim could see their face. Ichirin, however, spotted Unzan before she could meet this fate. The shock of being defeated by a young girl impressed Unzan so much that he dedicated his life to protecting Ichirin from that day forward. Because of Ichirin's close association with Unzan, she was ostracized by other humans, which gradually turned her into a youkai over time. Due to Ichirin's understanding of the human heart and her acceptance of youkai, the two eventually became Byakuren Hijiri's followers, and would later take part in the rescue mission to free Byakuren from Makai during the events of Undefined Fantastic Object In M.U.G.E.N, Ichirin has been made by various authors.

RicePigeon's Version


Ichirin may canonically be nothing more than Unzan's hitbox, but this sturdy youkai ascetic is capable of holding her own. Of course Unzan, being the old man that he is, tends to get tired after taking some punishment, which leaves Ichirin nearly defenseless. If Ichirin is going to call herself a "Stardust Crusader", she's going to need to know when to go solo and when to call Unzan into the fray.
