Keine kamishirasawa

[ edit ] Main Profile
During Imperishable Night Keine, being sensitive to the moon herself, sensed the strange events that were occurring. As a safe guard she hid the village 's history, making it as if there had never been a village there to begin with, so that the people there would be protected from any youkai. After being defeated Keine pointed the heroines toward the ones responsible for the fake moon in the sky. Later, during the Extra Stage, Keine acted as guardian of Fujiwara no Mokou and attempts to stop the player from reaching and facing Mokou.

Keine seems to have a strong desire to protect humans and would probably be the safest person in Gensokyo for any human to be around.

[ edit ] Fun Facts

 * The kanji characters for Keine translate loosely to "Wise sound" while Kamishirasawa literally means "Upper stream of a white valley." However, the Kamishirasawa kanji can be read as "ue-hakutaku" and so likely a pun by ZUN when he named the "Were-Hakutaku" character.
 * "Keine" is also a declensional form of the German word of negative article or negative determiner as "no" in "No one shall sleep tonight". Although the two words are pronounced differently, Keine's name used in this manner may also be a reference to her ability to negate history.
 * Most of her spell cards are based on the history of the Emperor of Japan.
 * Some members of the Touhou community have jested that Keine's hat resembles a bento box or a house.
 * Keine is the owner, and history teacher of the Human Village 's school.
 * Since she has the ability to change history, some fans make jokes about her having relationships with characters that never came out in any of the games. Such as Rin Satsuki
 * In some fan works, Keine is referred to as a cow (complete with milk jokes), due to her appearance in hakutaku form.
 * She also tends to be depicted with large breasts with the above as one of the reasons.
 * Etymology of CAVED!!!!
 * The word "horu" in Japanese means to dig, but also to have anal sex, or gay sex (or something). Some fans thought that Keine would go crazy due to her metamorphosis from the light of a full moon and try to shove one of her horns into someone's anus. One day, some Touhou, or Cave (also famous their shooting games), fan translated a nonsense line, "caved caved! caved!! caved!!! caved!!!!", from English into Japanese in a machine translation site]. The result was "horaremashita. ochikomimashita! ochikomimashita!! ochikomimashita!!! horareta!!!!" (screwed. depressed! depressed!! depressed!!! screwed!!!!). This spread elsewhere because the translation was so silly. When some fans heard it, they associated "screwed" with EX-Keine's attacking others' rear ends. This was posted on 2ch and it became famous. When someone writes something that contains the phrase "horu," they would be summarily raped by EX-Keine. "Horu" got word filtered to "caved!!!!!!!!" in English translations, and so you get "I got CAVED by EX-Keine!!!!!!!!" But because that bad translation was fixed after some time, and because there were people who hated it, Caved!!!! has become less popular.
