===Abilities===
;Ability to float
While flight is extremely common among inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]], Reimu's ability extends beyond that; she's capable of phasing in and out of existence, or as described in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'', ''floating away from reality''. Reimu can use this power to teleport short distances, but rarely seems to be aware that she's doing so. The ultimate expression of this ability is ''Fantasy Nature'', which renders her completely intangible while active; this ability was considered too powerful for use as a [[spell card]] until [[Marisa Kirisame]] gave it a name and time limit.
;Aura manipulation
It's stated in the {{nihongo|omake.txt|おまけ.txt}} of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' that Reimu can control the natural spirits of living things, an ability which isn't listed in any source afterwards. No clear instance of this ability has been displayed in canon.
;Powers as the [[Hakurei]] [[Shrine Maiden]]
As the [[Hakurei Shrine|Hakurei]] shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, and is trained in [[youkai]] extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of invoking [[Gensokyo]]'s native [[god]]s into her body, but she isn't well-trained enough to do so reliably.
;Barrier techniques
Reimu displays great aptitude with magical barriers (beyond that normally associated with [[shrine maiden]]s), presumably related to her work in maintaining the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. Among her techniques are barriers that explode, push enemies (or herself), or act as portals for her other attacks. Reimu is capable of dismantling barriers and seals too complex for [[Marisa Kirisame]]<ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Marisa's Scenario|Marisa's scenario]]</ref><ref>''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'': [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Reimu's Scenario|Reimu's scenario]]</ref> and [[Patchouli Knowledge]]<ref>''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'': Chapter 15</ref> to understand, with what Marisa calls her "cheat technique".<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'': Chapter 7</ref>
===Possessions===
In most of the Touhou games, Reimu uses the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s in combat. In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' they also functioned as communicators with people above the surface. In addition, she usually carries a [[gohei]], sometimes referred to as her [[purification rod]], originally prepared by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]].
She also possesses a great amount of [[ofuda]], sacred paper charms with anti-[[youkai]] properties that she uses to fight, seal or exterminate youkai of any kind in her [[danmaku]]. Apparently, she can also use them to create barriers and even clones of herself.<ref> ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]] - Skill Card: [[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Spell Cards/Reimu Hakurei#Skill Card 11|Instant Dimensional Rift]]</ref> Like the Yin-Yang Orbs, she uses them in most, if not all, games she has appeared in, either as a normal shot (usually with homing properties) or as bullets for her [[spell card]]s.
It seems that from the minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]'', Reimu has a high amount of [[koban]], something [[Seija Kijin]] wanted to stead.
===Machinery===
In PC-98 canon, she possesses a robot called [[Ruukoto]], given to her by [[Yumemi Okazaki]] as a reward for defeating her. She hasn't been seen outside of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.
==Backstory==
Not much is known about Reimu's history prior to the events of the games. [[ZUN]] does mention in one of his [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] documents that there was a previous Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and it's generally assumed that there's a line of them.
In Chapter 25 of [[Wild and Horned Hermit]], with night's darkness fast approaching, an annoyed Reimu remarks that you'd think things like daylight and parents would be around forever. This seems to imply that Reimu knew her parents, but they're gone and she's rather bitter about it.
==Character Design==
[[File:PMiSS reimu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reimu, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]
===Origin===
Reimu Hakurei as a [[Shrine Maiden]] in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' is based on the character Sayo-chan, who's the protagonist of ''[[Wikipedia:KiKi KaiKai|KiKi KaiKai]]''.<ref>[[wikipedia:File:Kikikaikai.gif|kikikaikai.gif]]</ref> The [[Bakebake]] are also based on this game. In general, [[ZUN]] thought it was a good idea to include a [[shrine maiden]] in an STG compared to other typical futuristic STGs simply because it was unusual at the time of her creation.{{citation needed}}
==Reimu's Appearances==
Unless specified, Reimu has played the role of a playable character in the majority of the games.
===PC-98 Games===
;''Highly Responsive to Prayers''
:{{Main|Highly Responsive to Prayers#Story|l1=Highly Responsive to Prayers Story}}
A lone shrine sits Far East: the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. The powerful seal placed there has worn away, and many strange creatures are starting to come out. Now Reimu, seeking revenge (or possibly just to sate her curiosity), and armed with the shrine's treasure, the [[Yin-Yang Orb]]s, goes to the gate to face the [[Youkai|non-human]] creatures inside. The gate will lead to either [[Makai]] or [[Hell]] depending on which route the player chooses.
;''Story of Eastern Wonderland''
:{{Main|Story of Eastern Wonderland/Story|l1=Story of Eastern Wonderland Story}}
Reimu is training intensely in the harsh extremities of a mountain (or taking it easy), but when she returns to the shrine, she finds it infested by [[youkai]], [[ghost]]s and other non-human creatures. With her faithful turtle [[Genjii]] and her trusty Yin-Yang Orbs, she sets out to find the one who caused the trouble. Her journey leads her to [[Rika]], the culprit, as well as [[Mima]], who has broken the seal placed on her in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'', and desires the power of the Yin-Yang Orbs for herself. Reimu is victorious in battle and learns the truth behind the Yin-Yang Orbs.
;''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream''
:{{Main|Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream/Translation/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream Reimu's Scenario}}
Things have been peaceful lately so Reimu has time to kill. When some old ruins appear near the shrine, promising a reward for whoever can manage to make it inside, she decides to enter a sort of tournament to decide who'll go in. This is the first time Reimu appeared as a [[boss]]. Assuming she's the player character, she defeats all six opponents and makes it inside to confront [[Chiyuri Kitashirakawa]] and [[Yumemi Okazaki]], who have come from the real world in search of proof of magic. As a reward for defeating her, Yumemi gives Reimu the housekeeping robot [[Ruukoto]].
;''Lotus Land Story''
:{{Main|Lotus Land Story/Story|l1=Lotus Land Story Story}}
Reimu mulls over on how quiet things have been, but soon enough, youkai and spirits start flooding out into [[Gensokyo]] again, putting her shrine in danger. She confronts a few, then realizes this must have been the work of something bigger, and decides to go straight to the source of the issue. She makes her way through to the [[Fantasy World]], where she finally meets [[Yuuka Kazami]] and defeats her.
;''Mystic Square''
:{{Main|Mystic Square/Translation/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Mystic Square Reimu's Scenario}}
A large outpour of [[demon]]s are appearing throughout the land from [[Makai]], and Reimu sets out to exterminate them. She reaches the creator of Makai itself, [[Shinki]], and defeats her in battle. Afterwards, she learns that the youkai and demon overflow in [[Gensokyo]] is the fault of some kind of Makai travel agency. Shinki promises to do something about it, but the demons make their way back to the shrine anyway.
===Windows Games===
;''Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil''
:{{Main|Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil Reimu's Scenario}}
A scarlet mist covers the sky of Gensokyo. Reimu, who's annoyed by the mist, sets out to stop the incident. Her travels lead her to the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], whose owner, [[Remilia Scarlet]], has spread the mist to try and block out the sun's rays, as she's a [[vampire]]. After defeating her, Remilia soon comes to visit her at the shrine, but Reimu has to return to the mansion when an odd rain suddenly appears over it, in order to deal with [[Flandre Scarlet]].
;''Perfect Cherry Blossom''
:{{Main|Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Perfect Cherry Blossom Reimu's Scenario}}
Even though it's May, spring shows no signs of coming, leaving the inhabitants of [[Gensokyo]] in a cold winter weather that only got worse. Reimu, noticing cherry petals blowing from the [[Netherworld]], decides to set out and stop the perpetrator from holding spring hostage. After making her way into the Netherworld, she comes to [[Hakugyokurou]], where the ghost [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] spends her time administrating the spirits of the dead. She was gathering the essence of spring to try and make the [[Saigyou Ayakashi]] bloom, but Reimu stops her before she completes it. Later on, Yuyuko asks Reimu to go deal with her friend [[Yukari Yakumo]], as she's the one who has been weakening the boundary between Gensokyo and the Netherworld, and she does so, after fierce combat. Yukari then restores the strength of the boundary.
;''Imperishable Night''
:{{Main|Imperishable Night/Story/Boundary Team's Scenario 1|l1=Imperishable Night Boundary Team's Scenario}}
Yukari isn't able to sleep and discovers the full moon is nowhere to be found; it has been replaced with a fake moon, and the night appears to have stopped. She convinces Reimu into investigating the cause with her. After dealing with a few youkai, and [[Marisa Kirisame]] in particular, who demands to know why they've created this eternal night, they reach [[Eientei]], a house hidden in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]. Once there, they either confront [[Eirin Yagokoro]] or [[Kaguya Houraisan]]. Eirin explains that she actually sealed the Earth away from the [[Moon]] in order to prevent the Lunarians from taking Kaguya back. Kaguya, however, has tired of hiding, and so challenges Reimu and Yukari to complete her five impossible requests. Once they're defeated, they undo the seal (and thus "return" the real moon to Gensokyo). Afterwards, they all decide to have a moon viewing. Later on, Kaguya sends them into another part of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost as a "test of guts" - but her true intentions are revealed to be trying to annoy [[Fujiwara no Mokou]], another immortal human, and her eternal rival.
;''Phantasmagoria of Flower View''
:{{Main|Phantasmagoria of Flower View/Story#Reimu's Story|l1=Phantasmagoria of Flower View Reimu's Scenario}}
Reimu, who's usually easy-going, is disturbed by the amount of flowers blooming and, not to be the one who shrugs off her duties, goes on to search for answers. She fights through many opponents, including news reporter [[Aya Shameimaru]], in search of the truth. Eventually she reaches [[Muenzuka]], where the [[shinigami]] [[Komachi Onozuka]], who appears to have been slacking off on her job to manage said spirits. [[Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu]] appears after Reimu beats Komachi up, and explains what's happening - an awful lot of spirits of the dead suddenly arrived from the [[Human World]], and they're having trouble accomodating all of them. After a lecture, they do battle, and Reimu emerges victorious. The three of them have a flower viewing later on, where it's explained that as the spirits of the dead cross the [[Sanzu River]], the flowers' blooming will settle down.
;''Mountain of Faith''
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Mountain of Faith Reimu's Scenario}}
Reimu's shrine has become a hotspot for [[youkai]], so she doesn't get many [[human]] visitors to do patronage. She receives a foreboding threat from a [[Sanae Kochiya|mysterious human visitor]], who demands that the [[Hakurei shrine]] be shut down and submit to another god. Reimu, always the optimist, decided to go to [[Youkai Mountain]] to face the goddess who's making these threats. She fights her way up to the [[Moriya Shrine]] and defeats its shrine maiden, [[Sanae Kochiya]], as well as its resident god, [[Kanako Yasaka]], thus saving her own shrine. Afterwards, Reimu summons everyone to the shrine to watch the autumn leaves, where she vouches for Sanae and Kanako and tells [[Nitori]] and [[Aya]] that they should invite them over for drinks sometime and generally get along. Sanae also tells Reimu that youkai are a good source of faith. A while later, Marisa brings Reimu the rumor that a second god is actually living at the Moriya Shrine, and she goes to check it out. She then meets [[Suwako Moriya]] and defeats her.
;''Subterranean Animism''
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Translation/Reimu and Yukari's Scenario|l1=Subterranean Animism Reimu and Yukari Arc|Subterranean Animism/Translation/Reimu and Suika's Scenario|l2=Subterranean Animism Story Reimu and Suika Arc|Subterranean Animism/Translation/Reimu and Aya's Scenario|l3=Subterranean Animism Story Reimu and Aya Arc}}
A geyser appears behind [[Hakurei Shrine]], and at first Reimu is happy, since its heat will alleviate the cold of winter. However, [[Evil spirit|evil spirit]]s begin emerging from the earth and loitering about [[Gensokyo]]. Reimu is sent to investigate with either [[Yukari Yakumo]], [[Suika Ibuki]], or [[Aya Shameimaru]], depending on what shot type the player chooses. She communicates them throughout her trip via her Yin-Yang Orbs. She heads straight to the [[Underworld]], and fights her way deeper and deeper until reaching the [[Palace of the Earth Spirits]]. There she meets [[Satori Komeiji]], whose two pets apparently have something to do with it. Reimu defeats [[Rin Kaenbyou]], then reaches [[Utsuho Reiuji]], who, with her newfound powers, is maintaining the hellfire that heats the Underground, and is responsible for the geysers that let the evil spirits leak out. She defeats her as well, then returns to the surface. Rin starts frequenting the shrine, though mostly for food, and eventually they make the geyser behind the shrine into a hot spring. Utsuho later explains how she came to possess such power, and it seems to point straight towards Kanako and Suwako, so Reimu sets off for the Youkai Mountain again. When she gets to the shrine, however, she meets [[Koishi Komeiji]], who was apparently also looking for who gave Utsuho those powers. Suwako comes out to meet them after they fight and explains it's all part of their "industrial revolution project".
;''Undefined Fantastic Object''
:{{Main|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Reimu A's Scenario|l1=Reimu A Scenario|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Reimu B's Scenario|l2=Reimu B Scenario}}
When the treasure ship appears in the skies of Gensokyo, Reimu decides to go after it. She forces her way into it only to discover that there's no treasure inside. However, [[Minamitsu Murasa]] tells her they're headed to [[Makai]] to revive a "saint" of some sort. She follows them there and meets [[Byakuren Hijiri]], a Buddhist monk that loves youkai and humans equally. That certainly won't do, so Reimu beats her up. She and Byakuren later fly around the skies on the ship, but afterwards the ship is landed and renovated into the [[Myouren Temple]]. A little later, she follows up on the strange light that was following her during the journey, and it turns out to be [[Nue Houjuu]], a straggler from Byakuren's group. Reimu defeats her and persuades her to visit the temple.
;''Ten Desires''
:{{Main|Ten Desires/Story/Reimu's Scenario|l1=Ten Desires Story}}
A large number of [[Divine spirit|divine spirit]]s appear, threatening the flower viewing, so it's up to Reimu to figure out what's causing it. She visits the [[Netherworld]] first; while [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] isn't the culprit, she points the shrine maiden towards the [[Myouren Temple]]. After forcing her way to the graveyard, she discovers the spirits all flocking to the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]]. Once inside, she defeats the newly resurrected [[Mononobe no Futo]] and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] in battle. When she finds that the temple is bringing in a youkai from the outside world for war against Miko, she finds and defeats [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]].
;''Double Dealing Character''
:{{Main|Double Dealing Character/Story/Reimu A's Scenario|l1=Reimu A Scenario|Double Dealing Character/Story/Reimu B's Scenario|l2=Reimu B Scenario}}
After discovering that previously docile youkai have become violent, Reimu learns from [[Yatsuhashi Tsukumo]] and [[Benben Tsukumo]] that a group of youkai are planning social upheaval. She travels to the [[Shining Needle Castle]] and defeats [[Seija Kijin]], who remarks that her allies can become as strong as they want to if they ignore the consequences. After being led by Seija to the inner parts of the castle, she defeats the Miracle Mallet-wielding [[Shinmyoumaru Sukuna]]. Afterwards, a magical storm similar to the one caused by the Miracle Mallet rages and Reimu finds that the cause is the tsukumogami [[Raiko Horikawa]], who had successfully changed her source of magic to that of the outside world. After beating Raiko, Reimu lets her go in exchange for not causing any problems in the future.
===Spin-offs===
;''Immaterial and Missing Power''
:{{Main|Immaterial and Missing Power/Story#Reimu's Story|l1=Immaterial and Missing Power Reimu's Scenario}}
As Reimu makes preparations for an upcoming feast, both [[human]]s and [[youkai]] are drawn to the feast and are unable to stop partying. Reimu is suspicious of a strange mist that covers Gensokyo and goes to investigate. She roams around, beating up various characters she suspects to be the culprit. She cannot find them; but on the day of the feast, [[Suika Ibuki]] finally makes herself known, and [[Yukari Yakumo]] shows Reimu to her. Suika soons becomes attached to hanging out at the [[Hakurei Shrine]].
;''Shoot the Bullet''
Reimu doesn't actually appear in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', but instead in a "Special story" that was added to the [[Shoot the Bullet/Translation/Afterword|afterword]]. It shows that she and [[Marisa Kirisame]] are talking about a notebook Marisa found.
;''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody''
:{{Main|Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Story#Reimu's Story|l1=Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Reimu's Scenario}}
The [[Hakurei Shrine]] is suddenly destroyed by an earthquake, but upon consulting with Marisa, Reimu finds out that no one else felt it, so there must be something odd going on. She goes around to various suspicious characters, including [[Komachi Onodzuka]], who Reimu initially suspects. However, it's not her, so Reimu ends up making her way towards [[Heaven]], where the celestials [[Iku Nagae]] and [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] reside. Tenshi reveals she started the incident simply because she was bored watching everyone else getting involved in incidents and wanted to start her own. She also claims she destroyed Reimu's shrine so Reimu would be motivated to resolve the incident; Reimu promptly resolves the incident by defeating Tenshi. Afterwards, Tenshi has a legion of celestials help rebuild her shrine.
;''Touhou Hisoutensoku''
{{Main|Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Sanae's Scenario#Stage Final|Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Meiling's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Touhou Hisoutensoku Sanae Arc|l2=Meiling Arc}}
Reimu, not the main character, is only playable via selectable character to play with. In Sanae's scenario, Reimu fights Sanae in the [[Underground Geyser Center]], but is defeated. Later on, she reads about [[Hisoutensoku]] later on in a newspaper in the ending. Also in Meiling's scenario, she doesn't actually appear here, to which is in fact a pseudo-Reimu who was sent by the [[Giant Catfish]] to [[assassin]]ate [[Hong Meiling]] in her dreams, but was defeated.
;''Double Spoiler''
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Reimu appeared as a [[stage]] Ex target, where she uses a few [[spell card]]s and had [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] take photos of her and her [[danmaku]].
;''Fairy Wars''
Reimu appeared in ''Fairy Wars'' as a cameo on the Route B1 ending. As [[Cirno]] and the [[Three Mischievous Fairies]] were terrorising Reimu when she's unaware of who's attacking her, she gets angry and shoots bullets omnidirectionally.
;''Hopeless Masquerade''
Reimu represents [[Shinto]]ism in the religious war between Shintoism, Buddhism, and Taoism. She finds that "hope" is being sapped from the village people by [[Hata no Kokoro]] and battles her to stop her.
;''Impossible Spell Card''
:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}
After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], Reimu becomes one of the many strong [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]], appearing on day 8. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.
;''Gold Rush''
Reimu appears as the [[boss]] in the one-[[stage]] minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]''. Extending from ''Impossible Spell Card'', [[Seija Kijin]] somehow acquired the ultimate 10th "rule-breaking" item the Miracle Mallet (Real), which is capable of destroying danmaku, and decides to make use of it by robbing the [[Hakurei Shrine]] before its power runs out. Reimu uses three [[spell card]]s and non-spell cards on Seija before she's defeated.
;''Urban Legend in Limbo''
Reimu appears as a playable character in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''. Reimu finds [[Marisa Kirisame]] at [[Kourindou]] and wanted her to taste some mushrooms for poison, but Marisa attacked her with occult power. Reimu was confused, seeing a bizarre ball of sort. She then met [[Kasen Ibaraki]] who seemed to know about the ball. She finds out that Reimu has an [[Occult Ball]], to which she tries to take off her. After she was defeated, she warns that the ball is dangerous. Eventually that night, Reimu encounters a mysterious figure.

:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Reimu|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Reimu}}
Shortly after the events of ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] attends a flower viewing at the [[Hakurei Shrine]], where she meets Reimu, who's in a foul mood since no one wants to help her clean up after event. Aya plies her with sake and questions her about the incident, commenting in the article that "Reimu just seems to be a laid-back drunkard".
In the follow-up interview, Reimu claims Aya's paper is full of lies and insists her account of the incident is true, though Aya still doesn't recognize Reimu's deeds.

:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 12|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism Article: Reimu}}
In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Reimu appeared on part 6 of the symposium. It was stated that Reimu was hiding and hearing over the whole symposium, that was attended by [[Hieda no Akyuu]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. When she was revealed by Akyuu, Marisa noticed that she had an angry look on her face (although she seems to not be angry with Akyuu). That's because she's not happy with the discussion the group was having, believing that it's all nonsense. She slammed a pile of newspapers in front of them to prove how bad the [[youkai]] are and tells them to stop the symposium immediately. She was requested by the [[human]]s of the [[Human Village]] to stop this as they were aware – and felt uncomfortable – of "non-humans" discussing on changing the way of Gensokyo's life. The group were unhappy with her personality and her way of "fight-first, ask-later" attitude towards youkai, and can't even spend another minute finishing their sake.
There was also an article included, written by [[Aya Shameimaru]], that involved Reimu's broken-down [[Hakurei Shrine]] during the events of ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''. It stated that it collapsed due to a localised earthquake and that the roof caved into the shrine. Aya found it suspicious that a [[celestial]], that been [[Tenshi Hinanawi]], came to help and re-build it.

===Seihou Project===
;''Shuusou Gyoku''
[[File:Sh01Reimu.png|thumb|Reimu as she appears in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''.]]
{{seihou note|section}}
:{{Main|Shuusou Gyoku/Story/Extra Scenario|l1=Shuusou Gyoku: Extra Scenario}}
Reimu has made a guest appearance as the second Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', a [[danmaku]] game series by the junior doujin circle "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]", where [[ZUN]] also contributed music and art to the game. It seems like ZUN put her in the game along with [[Marisa Kirisame]]. Her title was "Eternal Shrine Maiden" and her theme was "Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Ancients". To add to this, [[Yuuka Kazami]] made a guest appearances in the following work, ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''.
She seems to have no view towards the [[Seihou World]]; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery. After VIVIT defeated Marisa at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in [[Gensokyo]], Marisa was then thudded by Reimu for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Reimu attacked her with two [[purification rod]]s before she could explain what she was doing. After Reimu lost, VIVIT told her that she was looking for the [[Holy Grail]], causing Reimu to become confused and start asking questions.
==Relationships==
Although Reimu often shows up as the main character, she doesn't participate in mundane activities to the extent [[Marisa Kirisame]] does, limiting her familiarity with most of [[Gensokyo]]'s population. Nevertheless, she has interacted with almost every other character that has ever made a physical appearance, with a few exceptions such as the [[Giant Catfish]], [[Renko Usami]], and [[Maribel Hearn]].
===Marisa Kirisame===
Reimu's best friend is likely [[Marisa Kirisame]], who spends a lot of her time at the shrine. They're there together the majority of the time in various print works, prologues, and extra stage prologues, hanging out together and discussing or attending the latest events in [[Gensokyo]]. Reimu has known Marisa since ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', where [[Mima]] had Marisa fight Reimu. Their friendship may have started soon after that, as in all of the bad endings, Marisa decides she needs to train more, and drags Reimu along to train with her, much to Reimu's chagrin.
===Yukari Yakumo===
Despite her antagonistic personality, [[Yukari Yakumo]] mentors Reimu by pushing her to increase her spiritual powers, such as learning how to invoke the gods in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. She also occasionally seeks Reimu's assistance in resolving incidents in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''.
===Rinnosuke Morichika===
Reimu is familiar with [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], a shopkeeper who owns [[Kourindou]], who she sometimes visits to hang out or for wares (and sometimes shoplifts). She apparently has a large unpaid tab for requested items and services, but denies it since Rinnosuke "never accepts money" (which he denies being the case). Rinnosuke was also the one that originally prepared her [[purification rod]] for her use.
===Sanae Kochiya===
Despite being the priestess of a rival shrine, [[Sanae Kochiya]] is on friendly terms with Reimu and appears frequently in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' alongside Reimu and Marisa. She came on a bit strongly when she and Reimu first met, but she really thought she was helping the Hakurei Shrine out by attempting to get it to switch gods to [[Kanako Yasaka]]. After ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Sanae offered to help Reimu as a fellow miko to gather faith for the shrine, and appears to have been friends with Reimu since then.
===Genjii===
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Reimu used a [[turtle]] as a means for flight until the end of ''[[Mystic Square]]''; that turtle was [[Genjii]]. Reimu calls him "gramps".
===Three Fairies of Light===
Reimu is often the target of pranks by the [[Three Fairies of Light]], and Reimu tends to exterminate them on sight whenever she catches them (unless Marisa's escorting them). As of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', the three fairies moved into a tree near the [[Hakurei Shrine]] and become Reimu's neighbors, increasing the amount of pranks even more. Reimu aims to evict the fairies, but cannot find their treehouse, which is actually located on the [[Hakurei Border]]. Eventually, in an attempt to befriend Reimu so she'll no longer threaten them, the three fairies challenge her to a battle, reasoning that Reimu tends to befriend many youkai after fighting them. After an intense battle, Reimu finally defeats the fairies (instantly), and points out that their line of reasoning is utterly ridiculous. Despite this, Marisa finds that Reimu befriended the fairies after all, and as of the end of Oriental Sacred Place, the fairies now happily openly spend time at the shrine while helping Reimu out with various chores.
===Byakuren Hijiri===
Reimu views [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the [[Myouren Temple]] as a rival of sorts to herself and the Hakurei Shrine. In ''[[Ten Desires]]'', [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] points out that Reimu is friendly towards Byakuren. Although Reimu says they're religious rivals, she doesn't seem to deny it. In one of her ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' endings, Reimu is depressed at how quickly Byakuren's temple is picking up followers compared to her own shrine. By the time of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', Reimu is angry at the temple for stealing away her shrine's followers (ignoring that her shrine never had (m)any followers in the first place), but Byakuren seems unaware of this.
===Kasen Ibaraki===
[[Kasen Ibaraki]] is a regular at the shrine and acts as a mentor (and sometimes guardian) of Reimu, whom she fears is too concerned with worldly desires.
===Minor Relationships===

Reimu knows next to nothing about [[The Hakurei God|the god dwelling in her shrine]], making her unable to provide it with faith despite her efforts. Byakuren stated in one of the endings for ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' that the god is mad due to this.
;Ruukoto
In the PC-98 canon, she obtains a [[robot]]ic maid named [[Ruukoto]] as a servant at the end of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' though no reference has been made to it since.
;Mima
In the PC-98 canon, [[Mima]] is an [[Onryou#Akuryou|Akuryou]] who haunts the surroundings of the [[Hakurei Shrine]], after many confrontations and being resealed by Reimu, she decides to spend her days making fun of the miko.
;Suika Ibuki
[[Suika Ibuki]], who often freeloads her shrine after the events of ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' is also is her ally during ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Reimu saw Suika's presence as a nuisance at first, but never really bothered with driving her away.
;Aya Shameimaru
[[Aya Shameimaru]], the [[tengu]] reporter was also her ally during the events of ''Subterranean Animism''.
;Unnamed kitsune & Unnamed kuda-gitsune
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' Chapter 8, The [[Unnamed kitsune]] offered to help Reimu gain worshipers after being caught disguised as Marisa during a party at Hakurei Shrine. She was, however, deceiving Reimu by letting her use the powers of her kuda-gitsune. Using her ability, they gathered worshipers. [[Kasen Ibaraki]] discovered that these fox youkai had been consuming Reimu's willpower and wealth as payment for their help. However, they managed to walk away from the Hakurei Shrine with all her wealth.

==Additional Information==
*Reimu is the most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games, with [[Marisa Kirisame]] coming second. This is because Reimu literally appeared in every single Touhou game, two times more than Marisa as she  didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and the recent minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]''. Various exceptions would show to change these statistics such as ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', which both characters didn't appear (but Marisa was used on the .exe's icon), but the two appeared in an afterword story, and ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' had only Marisa, but Reimu was still shown in a cameo.
*Reimu appears on the cover for all the five [[PC-98]] games.
*Reimu seems to be scared before and after the boss battle with the [[Five Magic Stones]], making this the only ever time that Reimu was scared and/or afraid of a boss before and after the battle.
*Most of her theme from ''Lotus Land Story'' sounds similar to [[Elis]] and [[Kikuri]]'s theme from ''Highly Responsive to Prayers'', "Magic Mirror".
*It's originally stated that she lives alone at the shrine, but other rarely seen characters ([[Mima]] and [[SinGyoku]]) are known to stay there or near there as well. Even then, she claims that most youkai visitors are nuisances, and she'd prefer to be left alone. [[Marisa Kirisame]] seems to be one of the few who she wouldn't drive away.
*[[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] from ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' – along with [[VIVIT]] from the ''[[Seihou Project]]'' – are thought to be the only ever known characters to defeat Reimu, who hasn't yet been defeated by the [[shrine maiden]]. However, Yorihime's victory was from a manga, and VIVIT's victory was from a separate series.
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Reimu is the only one whose partner doesn't mention the danger of the full moon.
*Reimu's ultimate technique {{nihongo|'''Fantasy Nature'''|夢想天生|musou tensei|"innate fantasy gained at birth"}} is homophonous with the ultimate technique of the Hokuto Shinken school in ''[[wikipedia:Fist of the North Star|Fist of the North Star]]'', {{nihongo|'''Musou Tensei'''|無想転生|musou tensei|"nil-thought rebirth"}}, and has much the same effect.
**In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', if you activate Fantasy Nature successfully in a 3rd round, a remix of "Eastern Mystical Love Consultation" will play which resembles ''Ai wo Torimodose'', the opening theme of the ''Fist of the North Star'' anime (an instrumental version of which usually plays whenever Kenshiro is about to win a fight).
*In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', one of her alternative palettes looks similar to VIVIT. Also, one of her palettes seems to be another maid homage, [[Ruukoto]], or possibly [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s colours. The palette also seems to resemble Mima from ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]''. Her white/light gray palette seems to resemble [[wikipedia:Toki (Fist of the North Star)#Toki|Toki]] from Hokuto no Ken and possibly somewhat similar to her white outfit from the fangame ''[[Concealed the Conclusion]]''. <!--And finally, her white/light blue palette looks like a tribute to [http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Nanoha_Takamachi Nanoha], as they both tend to "befriend" their opponents with superior firepower.-->
*When playing Yukari's story mode in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', Reimu breaks down in tears in the ending after Yukari defeats [[Tenshi Hinanawi|Tenshi]] and reduces the Hakurei Shrine to rubble for the second time, with [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]] and [[Youmu Konpaku|Youmu]] looking on helplessly (although Suika offers to help rebuild it). This marks the first and only time where she's seen crying in a storyline scenario.
*The shrine maiden at the end of ''[[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]'' is probably Reimu. She has Reimu's title, "Shrine Maiden of Paradise" (and her personality), and according to [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Music Columns|''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Music Column]], the shrine maiden in the song that accompanies the ending section is Reimu (so basically, this shrine maiden has Reimu's song and title). However, only the shrine maiden at the end is referred to as the shrine maiden of paradise. Thus it's possible that the shrine maiden seen in the first half of the story is a different person altogether.
*A "13th Shrine Maiden" signs off the Gensokyo Record in [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Prologue|''Perfect Cherry Blossom'''s prologue]]. [[ZUN]] has stated in [[ZUN's E-mails|an e-mail]] that the Gensokyo Record is unreliable (for one thing, the writing style of each section shows it was written by a different person each time), thus "there's a high possibility that Reimu isn't the 13th Hakurei shrine maiden." (technically, this also means there's no proof that the person who wrote that section of the record is a shrine maiden at all).
*It's shown in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' that the shrine sometimes gets various donations (including wine) from unknown sources (implied to be from the [[Outside World|outside world]], as the [[Hakurei Shrine]] lies on the border) and Yukari is shown in ''Oriental Sacred Place'' to sneak yen donations into the offering box when Reimu isn't looking.
*Although Reimu has successfully resolved the incidents in each major Touhou game, it's possible that her win rate throughout the actual events of the games wasn't 100%. ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' states that Reimu likes to request rematches until she finally wins. In essence, Reimu apparently has had to use a few continues every once in a while, but she still manages to get a good ending.
*VIVIT made reference to Reimu in both ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'' and ''[[Samidare]]'', believing she met her – when talking to [[Yuuka Kazami]] – in the former, and referring to her as "red-white" in the latter.
