"I'm Sanae, a wind priestess, descendent of a long-forgotten line of gods incarnate in the Outside World."
— Sanae Kochiya (Mountain of Faith Stage 5.)

Sanae Kochiya (東風谷 早苗, Kochiya Sanae) is a human and a living god, descended from the goddess Suwako Moriya. Originally from the Outside World, she migrated to Gensokyo together with the Moriya Shrine and its two resident goddesses: Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya. At the shrine, Sanae serves a role similar to that of a Shrine Maiden, tasked with maintaining rituals and gathering faith for the Moriya Shrine, which has moved atop Youkai Mountain.

She first appeared as the Stage 5 boss of Mountain of Faith, later reappearing as the Extra Stage midboss of Subterranean Animism. Since Undefined Fantastic Object, she has been a playable character in multiple games, including Touhou Hisoutensoku, Ten Desires, Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, Unconnected Marketeers, and Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost. Outside the games, she also appears as a secondary character in the manga Wild and Horned Hermit and a minor character in other manga series.

General Information

Personality

Sanae is confident, energetic and dutiful, sometimes too much so, and tends to get carried away easily or have trouble thinking for herself.^[1] She also appears to be something of a geek, making references to popular culture and having knowledge of advanced scientific concepts. As someone who grew up in the Outside World, much of Gensokyo seems strange and novel to her; she finds great fun in "exterminating" youkai and solving incidents. 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 also may have somewhat of a complex about herself as an incident resolver, thinking foes won't take her as seriously as the other experienced youkai exterminators. The simple fact that she is adjusting to life in Gensokyo makes her an extremely rare case.

Abilities

Ability to cause miracles

Sanae possesses the ability to invoke miracles due to her divine heritage. Many of her spell cards are themed around miracles stemming from various religions or unlikely events. Her powers primarily involve weather manipulation and are often used in rituals, such as prayers for rain. The "miracles" that she can invoke are not related to good or bad fortune – they are merely events that have a very low chance of occurring. Before invoking a miracle, she needs time to prepare it proportional to how unlikely the miracle is. Simple ones can be invoked with a single word, while more complex ones may take days of preparation.

Abilities as a shrine maiden

Sanae is a Shrine Maiden, though of a different type compared to Reimu Hakurei. Similar to Reimu, she can summon gods and borrow their powers. However, she relies more heavily on this ability and can only summon her own patron gods: Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya.

Occupation

Sanae's occupation as a Wind Priestess involves serving as a priest who worships the god of wind. She is able to cause miracles, such as bringing wind and rain, through a mysterious technique. However, because she is worshipped and gathers faith herself, she is treated on the same level as gods and is considered a living god. In Mountain of Faith, she tells Reimu Hakurei, "I guess you could call me something like a Shrine Maiden", suggesting that her role may differ slightly. Nevertheless, she is fundamentally treated as a Shrine Maiden, just like Reimu. Additionally, since Sanae is both a "god" and a human, she can continue living as a human even if she loses all her faith.

Possessions

Gohei

Sanae carries a gohei, also known as a purification rod, with her on incidents. She mainly used it to perform incantations and act as a bludgeoning weapon.

○５面ボス　祀られる風の人間 　　東風谷　早苗（こちや　さなえ） 　　Kotiya Sanae 　　種族：人間 　　職業：風祝 　　能力：奇跡を起こす程度の能力 　　一子相伝の秘術を持つ人間である。 　　性格はいたって真面目で、自分の力に自信を持っている。時には過信しすぎる事もある。 　　元々は、風の神様を祀る人間だったらしいのだが、秘密の多い秘術で雨や風を降らす奇跡を起こしているうちに、周りの人間は秘術を行う人間自体を信仰するようになっていった。 　　つまり、風の神様が起こしていた奇跡を、いつの間にか人間が起こしていると勘違いし始めたのだ。 　　それにより、彼女ら秘術を扱う人間は人間でありながら信仰を集め、神と同等の扱いを受けるようになった。現人神である。 　　早苗は幼い頃から、口伝でしか伝えられていない奇跡を呼ぶ秘術をマスターしていた。子供でありながら奇跡を呼ぶ彼女は、多くの信仰を集められる――筈であった。 　　しかし、外の世界は大きく様変わりしていた。神徳の多い神様でさえ信仰する人間が激減していた。当然、人間でありながら神となった現<人神など、信仰する人間は殆ど存在しなかったのだ。 　　早苗は別に信仰がなくても、普通の人間として生活できるから問題はなかったのだが、早苗が祀っている神様、神奈子はそうはいかなかった。 　　神様は信仰を失うと力も失う。神徳も出せなくなる。 　　それは神の死に等しい。 　　神奈子は決断した。人間から信仰を集めるには限界がある。これからは妖怪の信仰を集める事も考えないといけない、と。 　　早苗はその具体的な計画を聞き驚いた。我が国には昔から『幻想郷』という世界があった。その世界は今でもひっそりと存在しているのだという。幻想郷では外の世界で失われた（幻想になった）物が集まる。 　　つまり神への信仰も、幻想郷に移りつつあると考えられる。 　　そこで神奈子は、幻想郷に神社ごと移動すると言うのである。人間の世界との決別であった。 　　人間の世界との別れは恐怖であったが、それ以上に奇跡を起こす力を持っていた彼女にとって、奇跡の世界へ行く事は楽しみであった。 　　彼女は幻想郷の人間を正直なめていた。唯一の博麗神社を脅せば幻想郷自体、自分達の思い通りになると考えていたのである。彼女は霊夢に脅しを入れに行き、そして今回のように逆に痛い目にあってしまったのだ。 　　幻想郷に住む人間は、彼女が思う以上に厄介であり、そして力を持っている事を彼女は思い知らされた。 　　ここでは、彼女は特別な存在ではない。現人神なんかではなく、ただの人間となっている事に気付いたのだ。 　　これからは幻想郷の人間として普通に生きていくしかないのである。

Deified Human of the Wind Sanae Kochiya Species: Human Occupation: Wind Priestess Ability: Causing miracles A human who possesses the knowledge of a secretly inherited art. She has a very straightforward personality, so she has a lot of confidence in her own abilities. Sometimes, perhaps a bit too much confidence. Wind Priestesses were originally a devotees of the wind god, but as they used their secret abilities to create miracles such as summoning the wind and rain, the people around them began to believe in these humans with mysterious abilities. In short, over time, people began to mistake the miracles caused by the wind god as being caused by them. In addition, as keepers of secrets, they began to accrue faith and be treated as gods, even though they were humans. They became living gods. When she was young, Sanae had mastered the secrets to call upon miracles that had been passed down through an oral tradition only. A young girl that could call upon the power of miracles would certainly collect great amounts of faith --- one would expect. However, the outside world had changed a great deal. Faith in even gods with many divine virtues had been decreasing rapidly. There were few who would worship even a living god who had attained divinity during their life as a human. Though she didn't really have much faith, Sanae was able to live as a normal human without any real problems, but this would not do for the god she worshiped, Kanako. When people lose faith in gods, the gods lose their power. They can't manifest their divine virtues. This is the same as death, for a god. Kanako came to a decision. There were limits to the amount of faith that could come from humans. From now on, she would have to also look to youkai as a source of her faith. Sanae was surprised to hear the details of her plan: a world called "Gensokyo" has existed within our nation since time immemorial. It is said that this world still exists, hidden. Gensokyo has collected a number of things that have become lost - or, become fantasy - in the outside world. One could say that even people's faith in gods is in the process of moving to Gensokyo. And so, Kanako decided to move her shrine into Gensokyo. She would say farewell to the world of humans. Sanae was afraid of leaving the world of humans, but as a person with the power to call on miracles, going to a world of miracles was one of the fun parts. She did not take the humans of Gensokyo seriously. She thought that if they threatened the only shrine in Gensokyo, the Hakurei Shrine, Gensokyo itself would submit to their every wish. She went to deliver her ominous message to Reimu, and then was in turn defeated. The humans who lived in Gensokyo were more troublesome than she'd imagined, and in time she learned of the power they held, as well. Here, she was nothing special. She realized she had gone from being a god incarnate to just a normal human being. All she could do now was to live a normal, peaceful life as a human of Gensokyo.

○祀られる風の人間 　　東風谷　早苗（こちや　さなえ） 　　幻想郷に来てから早二年経とうとしていた。 初めは異形なる者に対して畏怖から、まともに儀式も行えなかったが、今ではすっかり馴染み、違和感なく通常の仕事を行う事が出来た。 もう、多少の事では驚かないと思っていた。 勿論、そう思ってしまったら必ず驚かされるのが幻想郷である。 そこが外の世界にはない幻想郷の長所であった。 彼女は、守矢神社から見える巨大な人影を見ていた。 人影は神社よりも遥かにでかい、彼女にとっての古典的な表現では十階建ての高層ビル位はあるだろうか。 その人影は、彼女には昔アニメで見た巨大人型ロボットに見えた。 しかし、ロボットと言うには動きが滑らかすぎた。 まるで生きているかの様に動く人影は、時には山に望み、時には里を睨みそして突然霧に包まれたあと、不気味なほど静かに消えた。 その事を神奈子に報告すると、それは「ブロッケンの妖怪」だと教えてくれた。 ブロッケンの妖怪とは、自分の影が霧に映り巨人に見える気象現象である。 実際何らかの気象現象かなんかであろう、そう考えてしまう自分の思考回路が面白くなかった。 だから彼女は、あの影は里を襲う巨大ロボだと思う事にした。 そう考えると調査が楽しいからである。 そう、アレは決して霧に映った影などではない。 霧が出てきたのは人影が出た後だったし、何より、ここは何が起こってもおかしくない場所、幻想郷なのだから。

Deified Human of the Wind Sanae Kochiya It had already been two years since she came to Gensokyo. At first, she was so frightened by the bizarre monsters that she simply couldn't perform the rituals of a shrine maiden, but now she had become familiar with them, and carried out her daily jobs without any discomfort. She thought that she wouldn't be surprised by some things any more. Of course, thinking like that in Gensokyo ensures that you will be surprised. That is Gensokyo's strong point, not present in the outside world. She saw the huge figure from the Moriya Shrine. The figure was far bigger than the shrine. She guessed that, to use a classical comparison, it was about as big as a ten-story building. The figure seemed to her like a giant robot from some old anime she had watched. But its movements were too smooth to be a robot's. The figure moved as if it were alive, occasionally overlooking the mountain, occasionally shooting a glare at the village. Then, it was suddenly shrouded in mist, and disappeared with an uncanny silence. When she reported it to Kanako, she told her it was the "Brocken specter." The Brocken specter is a meteorological phenomenon caused by a reflection of your own shadow on mist that seems to the observer to be a giant. In reality, be it a meteorological phenomenon or something else, thinking like that wasn't interesting. So she decided to think of that shadow as a giant robot attacking the village. Because that would make thinking about it more fun. That's right, that definitely wasn't a shadow reflected in mist. After all, the mist hadn't appeared until after the figure was already there. More than anything, though, because this was a place where nothing was too strange to happen: Gensokyo.

Skills

Spell Cards

Character Design

Sanae, as illustrated in Symposium of Post-mysticism

Name

Her full name is Kochiya Sanae (東風谷　早苗). Kochiya (東風谷) means "eastern wind valley". The same "east" (東) appears in Touhou (東方), and the same "wind" (風) in Mountain of Faith's Japanese title, "Wind God Chronicles" (風神録, Fuujinroku). Sanae (早苗) can mean "rice seedling" or "early seedling".

Unusual amongst Touhou characters, Sanae is a real given name used in modern Japan. Presumably Sanae's name is derived from the real world person "Sanae Moriya" (守矢早苗), the 78th head of the Moriya family which claims descent from the god Moreya (洩矢神, Moreyashin, "Moreya" is an archaic pronunciation of "Moriya"). This family's priests historically held several offices in the Suwa-taisha (Suwa Grand Shrine), including the Jin Choukan (神長官, "God Director").

Design

In her first appearance in Mountain of Faith she wears a blue and white outfit similar to a shrine maiden's, with the blue areas covered in light blue polka dots and stripes. From Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom onwards the blue areas switch to a pattern resembling lace, and from Unconnected Marketeers onwards they become notably darker. She has light green hair which vary in length between games and printworks, and yellow eyes (green in every subsequent game appearance, except in Touhou Hisoutensoku portraits where they're blue, and sprites where they're yellow). She keeps a blue snake wrapped around her hair on one side. In Mountain of Faith, Subterranean Animism, and Touhou Hisoutensoku, she wears a single white and blue hair tube around the hair which has the blue snake wrapped around. In Undefined Fantastic Object, the hair tube is white and red instead, and in her player portraits from Ten Desires onwards, the hair tube is visibly absent. In Mountain of Faith, Subterranean Animism ^[2], her sprites in Touhou Hisoutensoku, and her appearances in the alternate ending in Unconnected Marketeers and Marisa's Shintoism Wind ending in Fossilized Wonders, she wears a blue headband with a frog's head on it; however, in all other appearances, she instead wears a hair clip shaped like a frog's head. She carries a gohei with straight paper decorations as opposed to the typical gohei.

In Ten Desires her hair color is slightly paler, and she wears a shorter skirt with maroon-colored boots instead of aquamarine-colored shoes.

Appearances

Mountain of Faith

Sanae's sprite in MoF

When humans on the Outside World began losing their faith in her and Kanako Yasaka, the shrine's actual deity, Kanako decided to move the shrine to Gensokyo where at least youkai might have faith in them. During the events of Mountain of Faith Sanae tried closing down the Hakurei Shrine in order to establish the Moriya Shrine as the dominant one, not realizing how powerful humans like Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame were. In response to the threats Sanae was defeated by the heroine followed shortly after by Kanako and Suwako Moriya's defeat. However, the residents of the Moriya Shrine have since come to an understanding with their new neighbors and live in peace with the other residents of Youkai Mountain.

Subterranean Animism

Following the extra scenario as the player heads through the Moriya Shrine to look for the two goddesses, Sanae appears as the midboss of the stage. She believes that the traditional greetings in Gensokyo is by attacking with danmaku because you can't be trapped by common sense. She attacks the heroine with three spell cards, but was defeated. Specifically on Reimu's and Suika's scenario, she returns stating that Kanako was creating a kappa industrial revolution by using the old Remains of Blazing Hell. She was unaware of the incident that occurred in the game, making Reimu unhappy.

Undefined Fantastic Object

Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom

Main article: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom: Sanae's Scenario

The Curiosity Mars rover appears in Gensokyo, causing all life around it to become petrified and turn to stone when it gets too close. Left unchecked, Curiosity would eventually purge all life from Gensokyo. Kanako and Suwako send Sanae to investigate it, which eventually leads Sanae to outer space and to the Lunar Kingdom, where she learns that Curiosity was sent to "purify" Gensokyo and make it inhabitable to the Lunarians, due to an external threat the Lunarians are facing. Sanae is forced to save the Lunarians, lest Curiosity continue its destructive path.

Main article: Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost: Sanae's Scenario

Because of the opening of the marketplace, ownership of the ancient land was lost. This has caused greedy animal spirits to attempt to claim ownership of the land.

Sanae is told to investigate the spirits flooding the surface, so she leaves the shrine after defeating Tsukasa Kudamaki, who wanted Sanae to lend the shrine. She then fights Ran Yakumo and Mamizou Futatsuiwa following her orders of attacking every beast youkai she encounters to solve the incident. The tanuki then affirms that the shrine maiden doesn't understand the nature of the incident at all and gives her directions to solve it, which only led her to Hell. There, she fights Yachie Kicchou, who admits that she has an “ally” in the Forest of Sanctuaries. After defeating said ally there (Son Biten), Sanae falls in Biten's trap and ends up fighting Zanmu Nippaku.

At the end, she fails to put an end to the beasts' and Zanmu's plans, but she at least earned a new ally.

Touhou Hisoutensoku

Main article: Touhou Hisoutensoku: Sanae's Scenario

In Touhou Hisoutensoku, thinking that a gigantic robot appeared in Gensokyo, Sanae is in pursuit of the giant figure, when she stumbles into a pit to the nuclear reactor run by Utsuho Reiuji and learns that Suwako Moriya is responsible for creating the "robot" figure, Hisoutensoku.

Double Spoiler

In Double Spoiler, Sanae appeared as an Extra stage target, where she uses a few spell cards and Aya Shameimaru and Hatate Himekaidou can take photos of her and her danmaku.

Hopeless Masquerade

Wild and Horned Hermit

Throughout the manga, Sanae and Reimu have a continuing rivalry for the popularity of their respective shrines, the Moriya Shrine and the Hakurei Shrine, among the residents of the Human Village and the local youkai.

Early on, Sanae requests Reimu's help with her mission of improving the inefficient Remains of Blazing Hell reactor powered by Utsuho’s nuclear powers, as part of Kanako Yasaka's overall plan to bring clean energy to Gensokyo. Sanae's plan was to start nuclear reactions using cold fusion.^[3] She also mentioned how in the Outside World the cold fusion is a prohibited topic that remained in obscurity. For that, she needed Reimu's help to contact the metals god, Kanayamabiko no Mikoto, to obtain a palladium alloy. After obtaining the palladium, Kanako and Sanae made a successful public demonstration of cold fusion, impressing the local residents of the Human Village.

However, Sanae is also cooperative with Reimu, as it is shown in Chapter 23, where she takes care of the Hakurei Shrine while Reimu was busy being a fortune-teller. She also comes to check in on Reimu near the end of the manga when Reimu fell unconscious for an extended period of time.

Forbidden Scrollery

Sanae can be seen spreading faith for the Moriya Shrine in the human village during reports of increasing snake attacks. She built branch shrines near the outskirts of the village for people to profess their faith to Kanako.

Later on, she appears at the private flower viewing party held at the Hakurei Shrine. During the party, she calls the Hakurei Shrine a "Youkai Shrine", which results in her incurring the wrath of Reimu.

The Grimoire of Usami

She participated as one of the judges during the Hakurei Fireworks Festival, protecting the audience from the constestants' danmaku when needed.

Main article: The Grimoire of Usami: Sanae Kochiya

She also showcased some of her own danmaku.

Foul Detective Satori

Attention: This section is a stub and it needs expanding with more information related to the section's topic. If you can add to it in any way, please do so.

Lotus Eaters

Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine

Main article: Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine: Sanae Kochiya

Reimu Hakurei writes a fortune slip about Sanae as a way of cleaning up in the aftermath of an incident. Sanae also helps Reimu with other slips.

Relationships

Suwako Moriya & Kanako Yasaka

Sanae serves as the Shrine Maiden of Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya, and moved with them to Gensokyo. Sanae is also Suwako's distant descendant. During the events of Mountain of Faith, Kanako sends Sanae out to collect faith. Much like Yukari Yakumo's use of Ran and Chen, Sanae can summon Kanako and Suwako in her spell and skill cards in Touhou Hisoutensoku.

Reimu Hakurei

Sanae has a friendly rivalry with Reimu Hakurei. While she has no qualms about antagonizing Reimu when competing for gathering faith and visitors, she also encourages Reimu on her success at the Hakurei Shrine.^[4] Sanae visits the Hakurei Shrine on numerous occasions, both in the Prologue of Undefined Fantastic Object and in Wild and Horned Hermit; she is even tasked with minding the shrine while Reimu is training with Kasen Ibaraki.^[5] On one occasion, the two collaborated to make a profit by extorting the Myouren Temple.^[6]

Marisa Kirisame

Sanae is friends with Marisa and frequently sees her when visiting the Hakurei Shrine.

Minor Relationships

Kasen Ibaraki

Sanae claims that she knew about Kasen before as they both live in the mountain, but they didn't interact until Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 2.

Son Biten

Although at first Biten attacks Sanae with the excuse of a rumor in Sanae's Scenario, after their fight they became good friends.^[7] Biten affirmed that she wanted to “bridge the gap between the Kiketsu Family and the Moriya Shrine” and Sanae thought that Biten was “pure and innocent”.

  Sanae's sigil from Touhou Hisoutensoku

Additional Information

• Sanae seems to have a relatively low alcohol tolerance compared to other characters. In one of the endings of Mountain of Faith, she gets extremely nervous when informed of the constant drinking parties the tengu will hold, with the narrator commenting she'll just have to put up with it, and in Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 19, she's constantly distressed about being made to drink.
• In Mountain of Faith, her spell card Sea Opening "The Day the Sea Split" is extremely similar to Alice Margatroid's second attack in Mystic Square's Extra Stage.
• Sanae's Spell card "Sea Opening Moses's Miracle" in Touhou Hisoutensoku strongly resembles Shin Akuma's "Misogi" from Capcom vs. SNK.
• In her last stage of Touhou Hisoutensoku, despite the fact that Sanae is fighting against Suwako Moriya, Sanae can still use skills summoning Suwako to her aid (e.g. Using Summon Earth's God: Metal Ring), to attack Suwako.
• In Touhou Hisoutensoku, Sanae's character portrait shows her having blue eyes, but her sprite has yellow eyes.
• Also in Touhou Hisoutensoku, Sanae has alternate colors that resemble Rumia's, Fujiwara no Mokou's, and Mystia Lorelei's outfits. Conversely, one of Reimu's alternate colors resembles Sanae.
• Sanae appears in a promotional flyer wearing a school uniform.
• When in Wild and Horned Hermit a conversation occurred about a "electric rat", a thought bubble showed up with a censored Pikachu from Pokémon.
• Sanae's absences in Hopeless Masquerade and Double Dealing Character were not anticipated by fans, in spite of her many appearances in previous games and manga: Undefined Fantastic Object, Touhou Hisoutensoku, Ten Desires, and Wild and Horned Hermit. ZUN directly stated that he hasn't included the Moriya Shrine cast in recent games without reason.^[8] However, there'd be explanatory descriptions about the absences through official works:
  • Sanae complains that Kanako Yasaka (or possibly them) not taking action in those two incidents in Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 19. Kanako replies kindly that she must calm down, and in another scene, tells her the settlement of negotiation with the tengu about the installation of an aerial tramway; she remarks that she or they've been always busy for completing it. Along with Sanae also knowing the negotiation has been very long, it should be implied that Kanako stopped Sanae from taking action on the incidents for some reason: for example, because Kanako wanted to concentrate her mind on the negotiation, because Kanako couldn't find it worth doing to take action in the incidents, or something else.
  • To add the reason of her absence of Double Dealing Character, Marisa points out to Sanae, in Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 19, that Sanae hasn't used her tool regularly; in other words, it isn't so well-used as to build its own ego and to get in rampage.
• Her sigil resembles the Star of David from Judaism.
• According to Kanako in Symposium of Post-mysticism, Sanae hails from Lake Suwa of Shinano Province, which is the location of the real world Suwa-taisha (Suwa Grand Shrine).
