Kutaka Niwatari's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by powerfully delivering goods. The name for the god of chickens, Niwatarijin, is sometimes written with the kanji characters "niwa" and "tashi" that collectively mean "delivery of goods." There are various theories as to why this is the case. Still, it probably has something to do with how Niwatarijin is conflated with the god, Mikumari, and their connections with the distribution of water and crossing rivers.

Kutaka Niwatari's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). Chicks make a spectacular charge in this attack. The name for the god of chickens, Niwatarijin, is sometimes written with the kanji characters "mi," "wa," and "tari" that collectively mean "three-wheeled legs." There are various theories as to why this is the case. Perhaps it is linked to Niwatarijin's strong connection with water and the god's power over flood prevention, irrigation, and crossing the sea.

Kutaka Niwatari's Spell Card. Chicks distribute water in this attack. There is a theory that Niwatorijin and the god Mikumari are one and the same. Mikumari means "water distribution," so it is believed that this god manages irrigation―the distribution of water for agriculture. The distribution of water was probably treated as a divine ritual because it is so vital to the everyday lives of rural communities.

Kutaka Niwatari's Spell Card. In this attack, she makes her opponent take her final spiritual trial. It is said that Niwatarijin was first called Oniwatari because adding the "o" prefix to a name shows respect. However, Oniwatari was then later written with the kanji characters for "oni" and "passage or deliver." It is also theorized that the name is written this way due to the exploits of a certain general who vanquished oni. Oni could also refer to the deceased. Thus, Oniwatari could mean the act of delivering or ferrying the souls of the deceased to the Netherworld. Bird spirits are also deeply connected to the souls of the deceased, and it was even believed that they preside over reincarnation.

Kutaka Niwatari's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a long crowing at the break of dawn. The god of chickens, Niwatarijin, is not mentioned in the ancient chronicles of Japanese mythology, but they do describe the chicken as a sacred animal. The Yaoyorozu no Kami tried to use the cawing of a chicken to call Amaterasu out of the Ama no Iwato (Cave of Heaven), where she had secluded herself. That chicken was called Tokoyo no Naganakidori (bird with an eternally long crow). This attack is a ritual of the rising sun, and the chicken is a sacred bird that announces the time.
