Sumireko Usami is a high-school student from Touhou Project. She was first introduced in Urban Legend in Limbo as both the main antagonist and final boss, as well as a playable character, and later as the main character of Violet Detector, as well as a recurring character in the series.

Sumireko is a high school student living in the Kanto region of Japan in the Outside World, who possesses psychic powers including ESP; in part due to these powers, Sumireko has a fascination with the occult and the paranormal, which ultimately led to her discovery of Gensokyo after collecting the Occult Balls from various mystery spots in the Outside World. Being unable to fully stay inside Gensokyo, she decided to scatter the Occult Balls in order to prolong her stay, which ultimately led to the spread of urban legends in Gensokyo and causing the events of Urban Legend in Limbo; due to inadvertently creating a doppelganger of herself in the aftermath of this incident, Sumireko is now able to freely travel to Gensokyo whenever she dreams, with her original body in the Outside World and her doppelganger in Gensokyo both sharing the same consciousness.

In M.U.G.E.N, Sumireko has been made twice: once by BlackCurl and once by Gudine.

RicePigeon's version


Despite the art style having regressed by about 10 years, RicePigeon's Sumireko keeps the core of her Urban Legend in Limbo moveset and gameplay more or less intact. While Sumireko may find gravity a bit overwhelming this time around, her newfound access to crouching and a Groove system will only serve to enhance this psychic's zoning prowess, just as long as she stays clear of any bugs and ghosts.
