Now Viewing: shiki_eikiTag type: Character Shiki Eiki is a character from the Touhou series of video games and related media. "Shiki Eiki, Yamaxanadu (四季映姫・ヤマザナドゥ Shiki Eiki Yamazanadu, given name "Eiki", surname "Shiki") is one of the Yama who judge the dead to decide whether they go to Heaven, Hell, the Netherworld [冥界 Meikai, lit. "Gloomy World"], or get reincarnated. Whether it's because she simply has a habit of lecturing or because she genuinely wants others to change for the better, she's become well known in Gensoukyou for lecturing anyone and everyone about their faults. The souls of the dead are brought to her by Onozuka_Komachi over a river called the Sanzu_River. However, not every soul makes it all the way to Eiki without being tired out from the journey or being extinguished by Komachi. She currently resides in Hell to judge the dead who've traversed Higan and the Sanzu River." [...] " Background InformationName Her full name is Shiki Eiki (四季映姫). Her Yamaxanadu (ヤマザナドゥ) title is considered to be a combination of Xanadu (an ancient palace of the Mongol warlord Kublai Khan, which was later used as meaning a "Pleasure Palace" in a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge) and her status as Yama, and can mean something along the lines of "Yama of Paradise". This title can be read as "閻魔楽園" [ enma rakuen ], which has roughly the same meaning as the above. Based on this, Eiki Shiki (using Western name order) would be her romanized name. The kanji for Eiki (映姫) literally means "reflection/projection/casting princess", while Shiki (四季) is the Japanese word for "the four seasons". On the data files for Hopeless_Masquerade, her name Eiki was misspelt with the kanji "映季"; the latter kanji means "season". This is a common mistake in the fanbase because the reading of "ki" in 姫 is rarely used so the IME [Input Method Editor] commonly converts it ["ki"] into the former one [季]. Design In Phantasmagoria_of_Flower_View's official art, Eiki has blue eyes and green_hair that is longer on the right side. She wears a dark blue, black and white dress with gold decorations with one ribbon on both sleeves and a blue and white hat with a gold emblem in front and a red and white bow on the back that are balanced equally. She also wears black shoes with a red bow on them, and frilly socks. Furthermore, there seems to be a pattern on her uniform that seems balanced and she carries the Rod_of_Remorse that carries out Judgements of Death. Her alternative outfit in Phantasmagoria of Flower View is same as her usual outfit, but her hat and dress are red, and her white shirt is purple. " Shiki Eiki has a Cleansed_Crystal_Mirror, which reflects a person's past deeds, and a Rod_of_Remorse, which is a piece of wood where the charges against a person are written; once written, the weight of the rod changes according to the severity of the sins and the number of strikes is decided, then Eiki proceeds with the beating.
