Sanae Kochiya

Sanae Kochiya (alternatively spelled as Sanae Kotiya) is a human, but is also a distant descendant of the goddess Suwako Moriya. Her role at the Moriya Shrine is similar to a shrine maiden, but with her inherited power Sanae has also become a minor deity herself. Originally from the Outside World, Sanae migrated to Gensokyo with the shrine and its two resident goddesses, Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya. As a result, she is rather knowledgeable about the outside world and modern living, although her attempts to explain scientific concepts usually just confuse the locals. Her knowledge on things like the youkai of Gensokyo, on the other hand, seems a bit lacking for a shrine maiden. She was introduced in the 10th game, Mountain of Faith, and later became a playable character in Undefined Fantastic Object and Ten Desires.

In M.U.G.E.N, Sanae has been made by various authors, including RicePigeon, Kohaku, Nenmin, and Frule.
