Koakuma
Koakuma (小悪魔) ist ein Teufel, über den nur sehr wenig bekannt ist und solange sie nicht nochmal in einem Spiel auftaucht, wird sie ein Mysterium bleiben. Bekannt ist, dass sie sich während dem Vorfall in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in der Bücherei der Scarlet Devil Mansion aufhält. Anscheinend lebt sie in der Villa. Es ist schwierig zu sagen, was ihre exakte Rolle ist, aber es wird angenommen, dass sie als Assistent in Patchoulis Bücherei arbeitet, da sie der Midboss der Stage ist.

Konzept
Name
Dieser Charakter hat keinen offiziellen Name; dies wurde von ZUN sehr früh bestätigt. Der in der Fanbase gewöhnlich benutzte Name ist Koakuma (小悪魔), was "Kleiner Teufel" oder "Kobold" bedeutet.

ZUN used this term in an answer of the response to the question from the fans, while again stating at the same time that she was unnamed, though he did have rough sketches for a face sprite as well as plans to give her spell cards.[1]
General Information
Occupation
In the cameo of Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, she's seen cooking and flipping Okonomiyaki at a beach stand that's also selling ramen and Yakisoba in the middle of what appears to be rows of books in a library. Tying into Silent Sinner in Blue, the location of this stand was the swimming pool at Patchouli's library (Remilia's "Indoor Sea"). On Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 14, she appears to be serving Patchouli in the library.
Character Design
Design
The sprite of Koakuma in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil shows that she wears a black dress with white sleeves. She has a small pair of black, bat-like wings on the sides of her head and long red hair.
In a cameo appearance in Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth Chapter 23, she's depicted with two pairs of black wings, one on her head and one on her back. In Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 14, she once again has black wings on both her head and her back. She also has short hair rather than long.

Additional Information
- In one of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's sprite sheets, it shows Koakuma had an appearance in the Extra Stage sprites. It's just because the same image was taken from the stage 4 sprites, with a color overlay on the whole image.
- Koakuma is one of the few characters that doesn't appear in Hopeless Masquerade as a background character. The reason is unknown.

Response of questions by ZUN
- In response to questions from fans, ZUN revealed some hints of her profile[2]:
- Devils are a mighty race, like magicians or vampires. But Koakuma is far weaker. (It should be noted that ZUN is using "Little Devil" as a generic term for some weak devils. Regardless of that fact, it is usually used as a personal name of the midboss of EoSD stage 4 in the fan community though).
- Like Daiyousei, she is carefree and mischievous, often behaves thoughtlessly.
- She settles in Scarlet Devil Mansion.
- She is one of normal-enemy class (not boss-class) characters. There are many such characters, and they are not given any special role in the story.
