Mamizou Futatsuiwa

Gender: Female

Age: About a thousand years.

Appearance: Mamizou has brown eyes and light-brown, shoulder length hair. She is featured with tanuki ears and a giant striped tail. On her head there lays a green leaf like that of a tanuki and she has glasses. She has an ecru shirt and her skirt is red-grey with some patterns on it. As with most bake-danuki from Japanese myths, Mamizou carries things on her back that look like a bottle of sake and a booklet of promissory notes. In Hopeless Masquerade, when she gets hit or performs certain attacks, she can be seen wearing grey bloomers. When visiting the Human Village she uses a human disguise, without her raccoon ears or tail. In this form, she has long hair, a checkered scarf and large robe, and wears a leaf-shaped hair clip.

In this particular instance, she disguises herself as Reimu Hakurei, this uniform consists of a red skirt (rather than the standard hakama), a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon, and a pair of white detached sleeves which exposes her sarashi.

Personality: Mamizou, proud of her race's esteem, is good natured, albeit with a mischievous streak. She speaks the way an old lady might, and occasionally squints as if she was nearsighted. She isn't one to take a grudge, but as Marisa Kirisame in her extra stage shows she has her limits of niceness. She does enjoy pulling pranks on humans and watching them be confused and flustered. Perhaps because in the latter half of Ten Desires, there were many characters who engage in things while they actually had ulterior motives, in one part, it can be said "Mamizou is the conscience of this game." In the game, she talked in a light friendly way, and because the way she spoke indicated "training", it seems that she currently is very confident in her power as a youkai. Her first-person pronoun is washi (儂), which is entirely an old person's way of speaking. Nevertheless, this seems to be her way of saying things, and not so much because a belief of having aged, more knowing she gets annoyed when people calls her old. Since the bake-danuki who showed up in Oriental Sacred Place also used washi, it might just be that all tanuki use old people's way of speaking. Despite being brought in as a 'trump card', she is noted as being friendly with humans, and has been seen taking on the form of a human while in the Human Village. According to the omake text of Ten Desires, "sometimes she'd trick them, but she'd also lend money to the poor and worked diligently on any task she was given, so she integrated well into human society", showing that she is reliable and kind at heart. Though she is seen in the Human Village often in human form, Symposium of Post-mysticism has stated that she does not make an effort to hide her tail, considering it a mark of her high status.

Hobby/Occupation: To become a strong ally in the youkai forces, runs a staffing agency for her Tanuki buddies to spy on the Human Village, pranking you into believing she's Reimu.

Additional Information: ● Mamizou Futatsuiwa is a Bake-danuki, summoned by Nue Houjuu, who originally lived in Sado in the Outside World in order to act as the Myouren Temple's trump card against the newly-arrived residents of the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum, particularly Toyosatomimi no Miko. She is able to morph both herself and other creatures into different forms and can disguise herself as a human.

● She doesn't get along with kitsune.

● Her ability is to disguise things and herself. Similar to Nue Houjuu's ability, it is an ability to make the appearance of things different from what they looked like originally. As opposed to Nue who relies on how humans recognizes how it appears, Mamizou depends on her own conception. Mamizou is able to completely disguise herself save for her large tail and her ears, which appears to be a commonality among all bake-danuki. In order to get around this, she can shrink them or camouflage them, but if she is surprised or excited her ears and tail will twitch, making it a dead giveaway. Another give away would be her smell. Her disguising abilities gain power on nights of the full moon. Since tanuki like to do things like disguising people to take on a bewildering look, they rarely do inflict direct damage. The meaning of 'disguising things' is something that resembles the fellow nue, and thus mutually, they do not appear to play the role of close-range combat youkai. She is also able to disguise other objects. However, if there is no resemblance between the base object and the disguised one, it will probably be seen through immediately, especially in regard to creatures. While the ability is described as a simple disguise, it isn't a mere illusion and actually influences and changes the physical properties of the target. For instance, in Hopeless Masquerade, she can turn the opponent into something completely harmless, and her underlings seem to obtain the properties of whatever they transform into, becoming able to attack by blowing steam after they transform into a giant teapot.

● Some fans depict her as Mamio, referencing Mario, who could wear a Tanooki suit in Super Mario Bros. 3.

● Since her profile says she dislikes foxes and may cause trouble with the foxes of Gensokyo, fans depict her as having an antagonistic relationship with the kitsune Ran Yakumo.

● Bake-danuki are famous for having large testicles, and they're often depicted in art prominently. Since Mamizou is a female, many fans depict her with large breasts to compensate for that, aside from a few artists who have drawn Mamizou as a male.

● She's been shown to be an older sister figure to Nue and some other characters in fanart.

● Since she was shown to be an increasingly regular customer in Forbidden Scrollery, she's been paired with Kosuzu Motoori in some fanart with Mamizou in her disguise. This raises the question of if the bells on her leaf hat in Hopeless Masquerade came from Kosuzu or reference her.
