I'm Urumi Ushizaki. You can usually find me fishing on the Sanzu River. I'm an ushi-oni, but don't worry. I don't attack humans.
Introduction
Get your fish right here! Hello, would you like some prehistoric fish? Some normal fish? Or maybe you'd like to rent some fishing gear? ...Oh, my name is Urumi Ushizaki. I'm an ushi-oni, but I don't attack humans, so don't worry. You're pretty brave for an ordinary human. Let's talk for a while. Raising and selling fish requires a lot of patience and perseverance, so I've got plenty of time to chat.
Purple Heart
Only amateurs call certain fish "small fry" or the like. Every fish has its own merits.
Blue Heart
Fishing is all about patience and unleashing all your strength at a moment's notice. This goes for fishing with a rod or a net.
Green Heart
Do you like fish? Perhaps your hometown was by the sea or a river. The two main spots near water in Gensokyo are the fairies' playground by the lake and the kappa lair by the river.
Orange Heart
You need water to live, but you can drown if there's too much. That's why those who live near rivers and lakes are either youkai or humans who have conquered this fear. There are plenty of scary stories about people getting attacked close to the water.
Pink Heart
Oceans, lakes, and rivers are repositories of life. Do you know what that means? Living creatures are basically manifestations of possibilities. There could be strange creatures you've never even dreamed of hidden within the water's depths.
Summer
There are plenty of tasty fish in summer too. But the king of them all has gotta be ayu sweetfish. You can catch them upriver on the Youkai Mountain. Just thinking about it is making me all excited!

I'm here to sell some fish again today. They're all really fresh. But maybe this would suit you better. Here, take this goldfish.
Enhancement
Now I can make this even heavier. Do you wanna try holding it?
Return
I'm pretty sore from that battle of bullets. Could you rub my back for a bit?
Home 1
I just saw the Sanzu River ferrywoman skipping work. It's not like I'm ever gonna tell on her, but she came right up to me and bought a fish without a care in the world... Ahaha.
Home 2
I found an unusual fish in the lake! ...Or so I thought. It turned out to be Wakasagihime. Well, I guess she is unusual in that she's definitely cuter than your average fish.
Home 3
I heard an envoy from the Dragon Palace was around, so I went to go see what they were like... I was really excited, but I didn't expect her to look so much like a celestial.
Reaction 1
What's wrong? Do you wanna play some more?
Reaction 2
Oh, you're sleepy. Here, rest your head on my lap.
Reaction 3
Looking down at you like this makes me... No, it's nothing.
Task
Are you doing a task? Wow, you're such a good kid. Can I see what you're working on?
Task Complete
Task complete! Well done! Come over here. *pats head*
Mail
You've got some mail. I could read it out for you if you're busy.
Errand Finished
Oh, it looks like someone's back from an errand. Let's go say hi.
Start of Battle
If you get in our way, I'll feed you to my prehistoric fish!
Mid-Wave
Is that it? I was hoping for more of a challenge!
Victory
That was pretty easy. I guess I'll return home and take care of my cute fish.
Defeat
Grrrr... They're too strong. We'll have to retreat for now.

Character Information
Temperament: Kawakaze
Kawakaze (a Touhou LW original) refers to a river breeze. This is an apt temperament for Urumi, since ushi-oni youkai drown humans in rivers. Urumi is endowed with Earth Phase, for her ability to manipulate weight, and Moon Essence, since she can be a nure-onna or an ushi-oni.
The encompassing and regenerative Earth Phase resists Fire Phase, because fire produces earth, but it is weak to Wood Phase, because wood parts earth.
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 changing the weight of everyday objects
The ability of Urumi Ushizaki as an ushi-oni. Presumably, she uses this ability to make her stone baby and some of her bullets heavier than normal.
According to the legends, the youkai that forces people to carry a stone baby and makes it heavier in their arms is called a nure-onna. Nure-onna work together with ushi-oni to attack humans that get close to the water. The nure-onna forces a baby into the human's arms and prevents them from moving by making the baby heavy, then the ushi-oni emerges from the water and drags the human down to the depths. There are some variations of this tale, but that is how it generally goes. Nure-onna and ushi-oni look completely different, but some versions of the story say they sound exactly the same, indicating that they may be the same youkai. Perhaps they're like an anglerfish, with the nure-onna being the light that lures in prey and the ushi-oni being the main body. Urumi's appearance also seems to indicate that nure-onna and ushi-oni are one and the same.
There are other youkai that manipulate weight, such as obariyon, who jump on people's backs and make themselves heavier, or ubume, who force people to take their babies, which later turn into heavy rocks. But when you think about it scientifically, changing the weight of something should be incredibly difficult. There aren't many abilities whose exact mechanics are so bizarre and mysterious as this one.
Attacks
Cow Bezoars
Urumi Ushizaki's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She fires round balls created by cows. The stones created within a cow's body are called bezoars and were thought to be a panacea. The word for a cow bezoar in Japanese is "go-ou," but depending on the kanji used, it can also refer to balls of hair on a cow's forehead. These hairballs are kept as treasures at some shrines and temples.

Round Cow Bezoar Bullet
Ushi Gozen
Urumi Ushizaki's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). The resentment of Ushi Gozen is displayed in this attack. It is said that Ushi Gozen was the son of a general and that he possessed the head of a bull and the body of a spider. There is a well-known legend about how a warrior famed for his youkai-exterminating exploits was ordered to slay this creature that housed the vengeful spirit of Tenjin. Apparently, this warrior was the older brother of Ushi Gozen.
Bullets
Angry Onslaught
Bitter Onslaught
Vengeful Onslaught
Envious Onslaught
Hateful Onslaught
Sad Onslaught
Stone Sign: Stone Baby
Urumi Ushizaki's Spell Card. She forces her opponent to carry heavy stone bullets. The way she stops people from moving by making them carry a stone is reminiscent of the legends surrounding nure-onna youkai. Stone babies also make one think of ubume youkai.
Bullets
Weight of 15 Years
Weight of 18 Years
Weight of 40 Years
Weight of 46 Years
Weight of More Than 50 Years
Weight of More Than 60 Years
Oni Sign: Demon Siege
Urumi Ushizaki's Spell Card. She wildly fires ricocheting bullets that assault her opponents from all directions. This attack is reminiscent of the tales where ushi-oni trap their victims and drag them down into the water. Ship phantoms also sink their victims, but in their case, the victims are ships. In some regions of Japan, ship phantoms are called "ugume," which is also another name for ubume youkai.
Bullets
Ushi-Oni Net
Ushi-Oni Attack
Ushi-Oni Negotiation
Ushi-Oni Treachery
Ushi-Oni Surprise Attack
Ushi-Oni Destruction
Ushi-Oni Depths
Urumi Ushizaki's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She summons prehistoric fish up from the watery depths. There are various legends about ushi-oni originating from different regions of Japan, and many of those places contain a cave, waterfall, river, island, or even a town named after ushi-oni. This has solidified the ushi-oni's reputation as a mysterious beast that emerges from beneath the water.
Incidentally, it's said that all terrestrial animals owe their lineage to fish that evolved to have legs, so perhaps water-dwelling youkai are closer relatives to the first creatures on Earth.
