Toyosatomimi no Miko (Born February 7, 574 AD) is a Taoist saint from Touhou Project. She is the final boss of Ten Desires, as well as a playable character in Hopeless Masquerade, Urban Legend in Limbo, and Antinomy of Common Flowers. She is also the mortal enemy of Byakuren Hijiri and her followers.

Miko is the true identity of Prince Shotoku, a Japanese politician who was appointed regent under Empress Suiko. Publicly, Miko spread Buddhism during her reign, but practiced Taoism in secret, which was taught to her by Seiga Kaku so that she could attain immortality. She approached Mononobe no Futo, who agreed to become her test subject for attaining immortality before Miko herself could undergo the process. During their slumber in the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum, they and the mausoleum were transported to Gensokyo as a result of Miko's legend fading away from the outside world. Byakuren built the Myouren Temple on top of the mausoleum in order to prevent Miko's resurrection; doing so, however, only caused the seal on the mausoleum to become broken, and Miko was resurrected as a result. Miko's ability allows her to hear the desires of humans, which not only allows her to increase her own strength by absorbing these desires, but also to listen to 10 different conversations simultaneously; the latter function of this ability has rendered her ears extremely sensitive, forcing her to wear earmuffs.

In M.U.G.E.N, Miko has been made by various creators.
