Soga no Tojiko's usual outfit. It features a green dress with a long skirt and a black eboshi hat.
Electric Nurse
A green lightning electrotherapy nurse appeared in the hospital! This shocking ghost is very caring and kind...!
White Ghost Generator
Tojiko's Fantasy Rebirth outfit. It was fashioned at Kourindou based on information in the journal.
Master of Household Appliances
The outfit Tojiko was given when she began working as a maid. Surely she can make delicious meals for Lady Taishi in this!

I'm Lady Taishi's closest of close advisors, Soga no Tojiko. You should go see Futo if you want someone to observe your training... Huh? That's not why you're here?
Introduction
I'm Soga no Tojiko, the most capable advisor of Lady Taishi, Toyosatomimi no Miko... And I'm also a ghost, as you can probably tell. No, don't be scared. I used to hold a grudge comparable to a vengeful spirit's, but I'm not that resentful nowadays. OK, if you want to join our faith, please fill in the required forms. Then, I'll guide you to your room if you plan to stay at our dormitory... Hm? That's not why you're here? Argh! FUTOOOO!
Purple Heart
I'm a ghost, so unlike phantoms, I'm pretty much the same as humans with their corporeal bodies.
Blue Heart
No, you've got it all wrong. This lightning isn't senjustu―it's the power of my deep-seated grudge as a ghost.
Green Heart
What were you thinking? You should warn me before coming close to me! Go and take a look in the mirror―your hair is standing on end... *giggle* You look pretty silly!
Orange Heart
Here, I'll pat your frizzled hair flat. Come closer. I'm suppressing my lightning, so you needn't worry... Stop acting so embarrassed! You're making me feel awkward too. I really wonder what Lady Taishi sees in you.
Pink Heart
One point two one...? I don't really get it, but I do understand that you need exceptionally powerful lightning. Raiko and Iku wouldn't have enough power on their own. All right, I'll lend you a hand. Huh?! No, I'm only helping because this will benefit Lady Taishi!
Summer
It's finally lightning season! I feel so restless and can't keep still. I need to let it out... Hey, you. Would you like to go to a concert with me?
Login
You look like you've got some time on your hands again today. Would you mind lending me a hand at the disciples' dormitory? Even just hanging out all the futon mattresses and laundry to dry is too much work for one ghost. Please help.
Enhancement
The power of my lightning has increased! I doubt anyone could beat me now!
Return
Yeah, shooting lightning in battles of bullets is a great way to relieve stress. That was really fun!
Home 1
I'm sure you saw the strange tools and equipment used at our dojo, right? Apparently, they were made with a technology similar to the artifacts of Heaven.
Home 2
Some kappa came to me asking for electricity, so I told them to go bother that drum tsukumogami or the messenger of the Dragon Palace. *sigh* They're so insensitive.
Home 3
I had a grudge against Futo, but I like this ghost body of mine, so I decided to forgive her. Miss Seiga is a font of knowledge and gave me some good advice on how to exist as a ghost.
Reaction 1
Those kappa never let up! They keep asking me for lighting...!
Reaction 2
Anyone who has a connection with plates is a nuisance!
Reaction 3
I wouldn't mind just lending them a little lighting!
Task
Huh? A task? All right, fine... Show it to me.
Task Complete
*sigh* Good, the task is complete! You worked pretty hard. Here, let me pat your head!
Mail
I heard that mail can be sent with lightning or something in the outside world. But that doesn't make any sense to me.
Errand Finished
Someone's returned. Futooo? Where are you...? Tsk. She's never any help!
Start of Battle
It seems you want a taste of my vengeful lighting. Have at it!
Mid-Wave
I'll now show you the weight of my long-standing grudge!
Victory
You fool! It is a sin to try and oppose the grudge of Soga! Think about that as you wallow in defeat!
Defeat
I'll remember this... And I'll be back after turning this grudge into power!

Character Information
Temperament: Enrai
Enrai (a Touhou LW original) refers to distant thunder. This is an apt temperament for Tojiko, who is a ghost with a grudge just as strong as a vengeful spirit's. Tojiko is endowed with Wood Phase, the element of lightning, and with Moon Essence, as she accepts change.
The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.
The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of causing lightning
Soga no Tojiko's ability as a ghost who held a deep-seated grudge. She can cause lightning to fall around her. This is a simple yet terrifying ability.
Apparently, many vengeful spirits are capable of causing lightning to occur. Tojiko probably acquired this ability because she held a grudge against humans that rivaled the grudges of greater vengeful spirits. She isn't quite as resentful these days, but her ability doesn't seem to have changed, so it can be assumed that she doesn't directly cause lightning to occur through her resentful emotions.
It is said that lightning has one of the highest instantaneous voltages in the observable universe. There is some scientific basis for this statement, but it is much more occult in nature. The act of causing a supernatural phenomenon with an extremely high electric power is a staple of science fiction novels. However, electricity has lost its mysticism through scientific study, so the popular tropes have rapidly changed to such things as nuclear power, subatomic particles, and astronomical phenomena. No one considers electricity mystical or mysterious anymore. It has become a part of daily life, just like water and natural gas.
However, lightning still causes people to shudder with fear. Even if you know how it works, it is still terrifying.
Attacks
Fierce Thunderbolt
Soga no Tojiko's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She throws balls of lightning at her target. There have been multiple accounts of people observing ball lightning worldwide, and there is even a report of someone losing their life when a ball hit them.
Bullets
Ball Lightning Bullet
Lightning Ball Bullet
Plasma Ball
Luminous Ball
Moon-Like Ball of Light
Electricity Ball
Thunder Bite
Soga no Tojiko's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She crushes her opponent between two balls of lightning. It looks like the lightning bites them. The most dangerous thing to do during a lightning storm is to stay in an area with no elevated spots. If you happen to find yourself in an open space, you should immediately seek shelter inside a building.

Thunder Arrow: Gagouji's Cyclone
Soga no Tojiko's Spell Card. She emits piercing bolts of lightning in this attack. When the capital city was relocated to Heijou-Kyou (today's Nara), Asuka Temple, built by Soga no Umako, was also moved there and renamed Gangou Temple. The temple was apparently very large during its heyday but has diminished over time.

Thunder Arrow: Gagouji's Tornado
Soga no Tojiko's Spell Card. She creates a destructive lightning storm. It is said that gagouji (also gagoze or gagoji) is a word that refers to an oni who had the form of a monk and lived at Gangou Temple. Gagouji has become a term used by children all across Japan to mean monsters in general. However, a famous folklorist posits that the term gagoze comes from how monsters would say "kamou zo" (I'll bite ya) when they appear. Perhaps it is something like the Bogeyman.

Thundering Illusions
Soga no Tojiko's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She unleashes the lightning from the Age of the Gods that was feared by all humans. The rise of science stole electricity's mysteries, making it a slave to humans. However, Tojiko uses ancient lightning―a medium for her vengeance that splits the sky and shatters the earth.
Perhaps Tojiko occasionally reminisces about the time long ago when she was still corporeal and lived alongside Miko and Futo. She might also reflect on how fortunate she is to still be with them today.
