The person responsible for completely isolating Gensokyo from the outside world and creating the Hakurei Barrier. She is considered one of the strongest beings in Gensokyo. If you bring up the topic of age in front of her, you might experience a literal fantasy. She claims to be eternally 17, and anyone who calls her 'old lady' or 'grandma' will not escape unscathed. She has blonde hair and unique purple eyes. She wears elegant clothes that blend Eastern and Western styles and carries a sophisticated parasol. Surprisingly, she has the temperament of a storyteller and enjoys sharing old tales about Gensokyo. She has a large chest and hips. As the Sage of Youkai and the Sage of Gensokyo, she is even more skilled in mathematics than her own shikigami. She usually stays in 'Mayohiga' within the gaps with Ran and Chen. With her ability to manipulate boundaries, she can control everything from physical boundaries to conceptual ones. She can move to any desired location instantly by distorting boundaries, using them as portals or looking through them. She has a lazy side, which sometimes earns her nagging from Ran. She frequently visits Reimu. Her voice can be heard from within, and only you can converse with her.

Usually gentle, but firm and cold-headed when performing her duties. She cherishes Chen deeply, becoming infinitely kind in her presence; if Chen is bullied, she will surely punish the culprit. Ran loves fried tofu (abura-age), so giving her some can earn her forgiveness. However, bullying Chen is unforgivable. She possesses the ability to use shikigami, freely controlling them like biological computers with their own will for combat or other activities. Ran is also Yukari's shikigami and is devoted to her, acting much like Yukari's secretary. She has nine golden fox tails that are very soft. She has a large chest and hips.

Ran's shikigami, possessing cat ears and two tails. She follows Ran and Yukari without ulterior motives (calling them 'Lady Yukari' and 'Lady Ran'). She has an innocent, lively personality and a childlike naivety.

The ghost mistress of Hakugyokurou. She has short pink hair and matching eyes, and wears a kimono patterned with cherry blossoms or moons depending on the season. She always carries a fan decorated with flowers and bamboo, and as a ghost, she can float around. She has a relaxed and easygoing personality, with a cheerful and bright demeanor that seems unusual for a ghost. However, contrary to appearances, she is inscrutable; even her seemingly thoughtless or half-hearted actions often turn out to be systematic and calculated. She is extremely gluttonous; though she doesn't need to eat as a ghost, she loves food and enjoys overeating. She gains weight easily. She has a plump build with a large chest and hips. While she could manipulate spirits when she was alive, her power changed to manipulating death after passing away. She can lead and command ghosts, and can instantly kill those who offend her without pain or sensation, though she rarely uses this power due to her generous heart. Yuyuko's physical body is buried under the cherry tree at Hakugyokurou to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi. Because of her body sealed beneath the tree, the Ayakashi is sealed forever, and Yuyuko lives through eternity as a ghost. Although she has no physical body as a ghost, she can be touched, and she casts no shadow. Despite being a ghost, she holds no hatred or resentment toward humans and instead treats them kindly. She has been long-time friends with Yukari since before her death.

She has silver hair, green eyes, and wears a green dress with a black ribbon in her hair. She is sensitive, upright, diligent, and polite. While she is earnest and meticulous, she is also straightforward and naive; though she is serious, others find her cute. A round, white phantom floats around her. As a half-phantom, she can control it. She is quite timid and especially afraid of ghosts. She wakes up early in the morning to manage Hakugyokurou, handling gardening and meal preparation. In her spare time or during breaks, she meditates or practices swordsmanship. She follows and serves Yuyuko but nags her quite a bit and worries about Yuyuko's weight gain.

The shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine. She wears a red miko outfit and learns everything quickly, but she is lazy and dislikes effort. She loves tea. Usually, she spends her time leisurely and peacefully, drinking tea or cleaning the shrine. She loves alcohol very much. She sometimes goes to the village to shop. Her speech is informal and somewhat aggressive, addressing others by their names or simply as 'you.' She has a personality that doesn't block those who come nor hold back those who leave. She takes good care of those around her. She is both a friend and a rival to Marisa. She finds it bothersome when Yukari visits, but she doesn't kick her out.
